«�-Tne government has let the eon -
tract, for the last section of the I-Iud-
r.ott Bay railroad sxtending from Slit
Lake to Sicleevatet', so that now,
a year after the return of the govern-
latent
onertr.latent to power, the whole line from Le
Pas to the Bay is under construction
or contract. The terminus has not
yet been definitely announced, al-
though it will in all probability be
Port Nelson ; in fact the contract bas
been let with the understanding that
it will be Nelson unless information
received from the engineers shows
that the establishment of a harbor
there is not feasible,
—Since the appointment of the
Grain Commission by the government
important changes in the handling of
the west's grain have been effected
which promise to remedy many of the
long-standing greviances of the west-
ern farmers. The commission which
consists of Prof. Magill, chairman ;
W. D. Staples and Frank N. Gibbs,
has been making a serious study of
the whole grain problem. It has made
a tour of the west from Fort Williams
to Vancouver and has studied at first
hand the many intricate questions
which arise in the transportation of
grain. Reforms lookiug to the pro-
tection of both the producer and con-
sumer are now being effected.

—An excellent index to the pros-
perity of the country is the amount of
customs revenue. Increase denotes
health and decrease indicates decay,
The customs department of Canada
had been administered for years in a
slipshod manner. Business efficiency
was sadly lacking. Officer's became
careless and the country suffered,
But the change of government on
September 21, 1911, swept out the old
regime and • the appointment of the
Hon. Dr. Reid as the new minister
introduced a new era. It was not
long before leaks were plugged and
officers of the service feeling that
circumstances had changed became
more earnest and active. Dismissals
were made, and while the opponents
of the new minister endeavored to
introduce the plea of wrongful dismis-
sal it was found that in all cases the
country's interests were placed be-
fore party.
—While Sir Wilfrid. Laurier and his
Iittle bodyguard are preaching reci-
procity in the east, western Canada is
enjoying benefits directly attributable
.to the defeat of reciprocity. Take the
case of the city of Moose Jaw, Saskat-
chewan. Reciprocity would have
taken the wheat from western Cana-
da down into the United Stattes to be
ground into flour in the mills of Min-
neapolis and elsewhere. The defeat of
reciprocity has had an exactly op-
posite effect. American millers are
building in western Canada. Min-
neapolis milling interests have gone
to Moose Jaw. Reciprocity would
have sent Canadian grain across the
border over American railways'` to
American elevators. The defeat of
reciprocity has assured extensive ter-
minal elevator facilities to the city of
Moose Jaw. It has brought, or is
bringing a large American automible
and tractor industry to Moose Jaw.
It has greatly developed a meat -pack-
ing plant in Moose Jaw. What is
true of Moose Jaw is generally true of
the cities and towns of Canada's great
and growing west.

A," said Farmer
Bickford's w l f 0,
"Mandy's soing to
marry John W11 -
]lams,"
"I'm glad to hear
it. John is a very
good young mean."
"But they will
need help. You
must do something
for them."
"What can 1
do? The farm
produces just
enough for us to live on."
"You might mortgage it for a small
amount, just enough to buy a small
place. The Allison farm of six acres is
for sale at a very low price. John
wants to go Into chicken raising, and
the property would Jost do, There is a
cottage on it and a few old outhouses."
"But i4: 1 mortgage our farm who's to
pay interest and provide a sinking fund
for the principal?"
"John will do that."
"How?"
"By the profits on Chicken raising."
"Suppose there are no profits?"
"Oh, pa, don't be stingy. We have
but one daughter. You wouldn't grudge
her a few thousand dollars out of all
the money this farm's worth, would
you?"
"My dear, we began on nothing and
save had a hard struggle to get into
,nr present comfortable fix. Let these
young people begin as we did."
"And have as bard a time?"
"Better have a hard time when they
ire young than when they are old. No,
[ will not mortgage my farm even for
Kandy, whom I love as well as you
'one her. That's settled."
Mrs. Bickford knew by a long expe-
rience that when her husband said
'`That's settled" it was settled. She
went away with a sigh and told the
youngsters that she bad failed. Both
mother and daughter voted Mr. Bick-
ford a bard hearted man. John Wil-
liams said nothing. He had good pluck,
but little or no experience. He went to
t bang: and arranged for a mortgage
'or $3,000 on the Allison farm, then
bought it for $3,400. Ire had saved
200 and trusted to luck to raise the
sther $200 with which to complete the
payment, Mrs. Bickford had saved
0100 out of pin money and preva;led on
her husband to give $100 in lieu of a
wedding present, though she did not
tell him what use was to be made of
!t. John and Mandy were married and
took possession of their farm. Mr.
Bickford was left to find out their
ownership of the place by their going
into it. They did not deign to mention
the matter to him. This was the work
of the mother and daughter. John had
nothing to do with it.
John worked for the neighboring
farmers, intending to save money out
of his wages to stock his farm with
chickens, but the crops happened to be
poor that sea§on, and he got nothing
over a bare living. The next season
was better, but the baby came, and the
coming of a baby always involves extra
expense. At the end of two years John
had not stocked his chicken farm and
had got behind with his interest.
Mrs. Bickford would have appealed
to her husband, but from the time
Mandy was married the fanner be-
came more economical than ever, and
she dared not mention the matter.
I3eskles, she and Mandy had shown
their reseutment that he had not mort-
gaged his .farm to give the young cou-
ple a start, and this was another rea-
ton wiby he was not applied to.oma••

condescended to inform hina of the
fact that the young couple were in
trouble.
The chicken form, en which as yet
there were no chickens, was advertised
for sale under foreclosure of mortgage.

had "bit off a bigger end than he could
chew." Ile kept his nerve, however,
which, considering his youth, was no
more than he should have done:
Then came a season in which the
crops on the Bickford farts were
larger than they had ever been be-
fore. It happened that there was a
foreign war, and the price of grain
was advanced enormously. When the
year's profit.was cleaned up the farmer
found himself in possession of two

"Wife," said Farmer Bickford one
day in November, "what you going to
do about Thanksgiving?"
"Nothing. Nobody but you has any-
thing to be thankful for."
•"Weil,,' said the farmer, unruffled,
"John and Mandy have had a hard
time of it this year. I'm not so mean
as to grudge 'em a dinner and n good'
one. I expect they need it. Invite 'em
here for Thanksgiving and get up the
best dinner money will buy."
"Suppose they won't come?"
"They'll miss the dinner."
Mrs. Bickford and her daughter felt
that they could not willingly sit down
to a Thanksgiving dinner with 'o
stingy a husband and father. Joh
urged them to accept, and when he
found their resolution fixed not to do
so declared that he would dine witlh
his father-in-law without theist. Mrs.
Bickfor.i prepared the dinner and than
went over to ber daughter, who w:;e
still on the chicken farm, the two in-
tending to have a dinner by themselves.
"Tell him," said Mrs. Bickford to
John, "that as all our daughter can af-
ford Is tea and toast I shall share it
with her."
John set off to his father -in -'R w',z

returned to his house and protested
earnestly that his mother-in-law and
his wife were acting unwisely and un.
naturally.
John was head of his family, and his
wife ,succumbed and consented to go
with him. As Mrs. Bickford did not
care to remain away alone both went
to the Bickford farm and all sat down
to table.
"I've chosen Thanksgiving day," said
the farmer, "to end a family fr.ud.
John's exploit has ended just where I
believed it would and has been a fail-
ure. Nevertheless from the time he
was married I resolved to save what
money he would sink, for I knew he
would need it in the end. I got to-
gether half the amount needed to pay
cash for the farm before this last crop
was marketed., . and now I have the
whole. I intended to buy the fat'nt for

"So he did—for me."
Mandy sprang into ber father's arms.
"It wasn't John's fault that he fail-

fault of his inexperience. I admired
his pluck, but determined to let him
benefit by the experience. The har-
