Crops and cane prospects are at -present the all a,bsorbing topic of converoation in Western Canada and fortunately all indications point to bounbiful yield. The season on the start was a little backward, and hea- vy rains have led to a vein rank growth,, but the weather has late- ly been more favorable and although the crop is fully two weeks later than last year, we are apparently in for another ,bumpen yield. The way the west has bounded ahead during tlue past few years ds truly phen- omenal. Let me give you a typic- al allusteation et the country's pro- gress. A few days ago businesd took me to the town of Ninga, a lit - lc burg '175 miles south west of Winnipeg, on the Pembina section of the C. P. R. While there it was my good fortune to meet Mr. Wm. Ryan, presid en t or the „Manitoba Grain Growers' Association, and to 'take with him a little drive of five or six miles into the surrounding country. What a country 1 You might well say you were in the cen- tre of the Valley of Prosperity.

I climbed to the top of the windmill and from that vantage point took in the sur- rounding country.

ALEX. INTER, Picture framing a Specialty. Ln ben yearsthe growing a clover and keeping of live stock will com- pletely revolutionize western agri- culture and lead to a more intensive nyetem, such as- that of the past. Of -course this is probliniatiead, It has yet to be demonstrated that clover can be sueeessfully grown, although its presence along red& sides and railways would seem to point that way. Some say that failure so far has been due to the fact that Manitoba soil does no con- tain the proper forms of baoterial life essential to the olover plant. Thi e may be so, but if the Manitoba 'farnaer has to inoculate the soil be- fore he, grows' clover it will be some time before the work is at- tempted. Agrioultural education is receiv- ing increased attention and the goy- ernment is wrestling with the prob- lem of the agricultural eollege. Land has been purchased adjacent to Winnipeg and the buildings are be- ing pushed forward as rapidly as pos- sible, As usual there, is a contest between the university and those who desire to establish a real agri- cultural College, The Universitye element want the *011001 used for the teaching of science' with a little agri• cult,ui re thrown n as a side at- traction. This is the way many of the American Colleges are run, but if Mamiteba is wise this pitfall will be avoided, ancra college giving short, practical agricultural courses will be established, leaving those who desire further education along that line to cemplete the course at Guelph. The president has- not yet been appointed, but the prospects are that W. 3. Black, B. S. 0., a graduate of Guelph, and at present managing editor of the Western edi- tion of the Farmers' Advocate, will receive the position. ,It speaks well for Guelph that her graduates should rise to such positions of honor in our leading educational institutions,. Land in Winnipeg is still boom- ing, and it seems the end; is not by any means. in sight. A short time ago it was -decided to place the new post office an Portage avenue. We were at once informed by the op- position .press, that to place the post office an that side street was the most atrocious crime that had ever been committed. However, the T. Eaton Co., of Toronto, decided to do business in the West, and pur- chased a half million dollar patch of land at a higher price, not far dis- tant, and now the would-be kickers are quietly eating crow. Since the consumption of these, two deals real estate has taken another upward run and speoulation is rampant. New buildings are going up with great ra- pidity, the -Union Bank heading the list with its million dollar twelve storey sky -scraper. Winnipeg lays claim to the mantle of Chicago, and many think that it may some day equal that great metropolis, but a more reasonable prophesy is that it will undoubtedly become the leading commercial edty ot Canada. Any where you go in the west you rind people from Huron county, un- til. you begin to wonder if there ean be anyone left on the old camp ground. They are in business in Winnipeg, rancbing on the plains, farming in Southern Manitoba and even leading the people in the paths of righteousness by slinging type and writing ediborials Lor Western ,pap- ers. Winnipeg is likely to have a 'Juror' Old Boys' Association before Long. The subject of organization has been talked about and it is be- lieved that ere long they will gath- er together for mental benefit and talk and sing of the good old days of "Auld Lang Syne." R. J. Deachm,an. Winnipeg, Manitoba, July 14, 1984. • Paul Kruger Dead Paul Kruger, the former Presi- dent of the Transyaal Republic, died at Clare -ns, Switzerland, on July 14th, from pneumonia and sup- ervening heart weakness. His daughter and son-in-law were with him at the time of his death. He had been out only once since his ar- rival in Switzerland, at the begin- ning of last month. Mr. Kruger has ben gradually tailing for a long time, but he was able to attend to affairs, read the newspapers and. received visits un- til Saturday. A change for the Worse set in on Sunday; he became unconscious on M.onday and remain- ed. so until his' death. On several occasions Mr. Kruger hes expressed desire to be buried beside his wife in his own ceuntry. Consequently the body was embalmed, and will be placed in a vault pending funeral ar- rangements. Application will be made to the British Government for authority to transport the remains to the Transvaal. In the mean time they will be temporarily interred in Switzerland. - Was a Physical Wreck, The death of the fernier President of the Transvaal, anon -tied wideopread I./egret in- Peri§ Prance, Qwma Ppanich. eymtpatiq .PT tbe, Peer' re ie ele4 pereieneLivinpFAtiqn khd- PFeniitedif,fr fildeRitf 141 1Pitete9/id; Fe'#fidd; tie -WIT Wen .§FetlAnik fni#qg olfi eroimiwitionA tisorrikE§ tiled ttifOlit ffeetiteletee eeincelY tt,fkit41-04 ft ft/ fife ltifige, ; itettget Et -414W the:, 1c1t...1 that pleynieal ptietere Weed faille*, He had arranged te reture tO Meriterie nett fall, re-lettsing the piettter- Weenie villa Whith he had ()envied on the outskirts of the town.

He "avoided inferences to the Boer War, but when it was occa- sionally mentioned he ahowed no re- sentment, and expressed the belief that Providence would eventually render justice to the Boer cause. His Career in Brief. Stephen 3, Paul Kruger was born at Colesburg, Cape Colony, on Oc- tober 10th, 1825.

Gamey, the man from Manitoulin, has addressed larger audiences, but never a more inter- ested, attentive or appreciative audience then that gathered in Dun- das sketbag riek Monday night, to listen to his story. The attendance, considering the extreme heat, was very large, between 1,000 and -.1,500 people being present. Mr. Gamey spoke for more than two hours, and during the t3me there were no inter- ruptions, save the frequent applause and cheering. To the majority of those present the plain, yet fluent interesting and convineing manner in which he told his story was an agreeable surprise. There was lit- tle new inhis story; but so enter- tainingly did he tell it that all seem- ed new. When he was intrecluted he was -given a grand reception. The entusiasin increased as he went along, and when he concluded, the applause and oheering was deafen- ing. James Houriga, presidentof the Wenbwerth , Conservative Asso- ciation, presided. On the platform with him were many promine.na resi- dents of Wentworth. Before Mr. Gamey was introduced E. D. SmIth, M. P1 and 'Gordon C. W.
