ONE ROAD ON 3-CENT BASIS
Complaints Filed Against Fort Smith
& Western In Oklahoma
GUTHRIE: The first railroad In
Oklahoma to ask to be relieved from
the 2-cent fare provision was the Mid-
land Valley running from Fort Smith
Ark through the eastern part of the
state to Arkansas City Kan
This road filed papers with the com-
mission asking that the 3-cent fare
might be restored on the grounds that
its line runs through a sparsely set-
tled country and cannot make money
even on a 3-cent rate The commis-
sion V7ill give the read an opportunity
to submit evidence before making a
ruling
The only rallruad in Oklahoma
which has refused to put the 2-cent
fare in force is the Fort Smith &'
Western running from Fort Smith
Ark to Guthrie Okia A number of
complaints are filed with the commis-
sion by Individuals who protested
against paying the 3-cent rate It was
authoritatively stated that the com-
mission would at once notify the Fort
Smith & Western to put In the 2-cent
fare and attempt to enforce the pen-
alty of $500 a day for each day the
order is violated This may cause the
road to appeal to the courts making
a test of the effectiveness of the pres-
ent constitutional provision
At Ardmore sixteen men have been
arrested for violating the prohibitory
'law

WESTERN CANADA
A WINNER
THE CROP OF 1907 13 AN EXCEL-
LENT ONE
Manitoba Saskatchewan and Alberta
Farmers Doing Well
The Interest that Western Canada
has aroused for Borne years past Is
growing in intensity The conditions
of the crop of 1907 are such that re-
sults can be spoken of with some de-
gree of certainty The yield of grain
will be about 80000000 bushels and
the price the farmers will realize for
it will be upwards of seventy million
dollars The oat crop was good in
most places and the crop of barley
will be very remunerative Those who
know of the generally unsatisfactory
conditions during the seeding grow-
ing and ripening period In the United
States during the past season frill
look with righteous distrust on any
statement intended to give the impres-
sion that Western Canada conditions
were bo much different Generally
they were not but the condition? of
a highly recuperative soil long and
continuous sunshine are conditions
possessed by Western Canada and not
possessed by any other country on the
Continent This is why it is possible
to record today a fairly successful
crop when in most other places the
opposite Is the case The yield In all
grains Is less than last year but the
higher prices obtained more than off-
set any falling off in the yield Take
for instance the Province of Sas-
katchewan the wheat crop will be
worth $21135000 Last year the
same crop was 35 per cent larger and
the quality better The yield was
worth $24000000 Oats and barley are
very important factors In all three
central Provinces At Gladstone Man-
itoba returns from one farm were $27
per acre from the wheat land $33 per
acre from oats and $30 per acre from
barley The yield of wheat at Dauphin
Manitoba was 20 to 24 bushels to the
acre but not of a very good grade
but the yield of barley in that section
was good and so was the quality and
price At Meadow Lea Manitoba 15
to 20 bushels to the acre were
thrashed bringing a round dollar on
the market At Oak Lake Manitoba
on 6ome fields where 21 bushels were
expected twelve and fifteen was the
result others again where twenty was
looked for gave twenty-two to twenty-
five One special patch south of town
on J M McFarlane's farm went as
high as thirty bushels to the acre At
Sheho Saskatchewan oats yielded
from 60 to 65 bushels to the acre Sam
Wunder threshed 2500 bushels from
forty acres The sample is good and
weighs well At Lloydminster Sas-
katchewan W Bibby threshed 97
bushels of oats to the acre and two
others were but little behind' Wheat
here reached 35 bushels At Portage
la Prairie Manitoba from a quarter
section all in crop Alex McKinnon of
Ingleside threshed an average of 33
bushels No 1 Northern I J Grant
bad 190 acres yielding 6000 bushels
of the same grade These illustrations
taken from widely distant districts
(and thousands of others could be
produced) show that the year 1907 has
not felt the serious effects from severe
winter late spring or unfavorable
conditions during the growing season
that might have been antltcpated In

Not to Be Fooled
A city lad spent a part of last sum-
mer on a farm owned by his uncle
It was the boy’s first visit to the coun-
try and everything on the farm was
delightfully unfamiliar to him
One afternoon the youngster who
had been prowling about the chicken
houe seized the product of one cack-
ling hen and marched exultantly Into
the house with his prize
“Let me have it son" said the
farmer’s wife “and I’ll cook it for
your luncheon"
“You must think I’m a greenhorn
auntie!" exclaimed the boy “I guess
the hen cooked It all right It’s
warm” — Harper’s Weekly
He Was Grateful
David a boy of four was being
taught to express thanks when the
occasion demanded Whc he neg-
lected to do so the other members of
the family frould ask: “What do you
say David?" which would always
bring forth the desired results O: e
evening recently David and the young
man who is to marry bis sister were
sitting on the front porch
“Well David" Bald the young man
“I guess I’ll marry Sue and take her
away What do you say?”
“Thank you” returned the hoy po-

Smith started up Into a sitting pos-
ture “Who are you?" he cried ‘
The masked figure with the dark
lantern and sawed-off shotgun turned
nonplused for the moment from the
bureau and aald confusedly:
’ “Why I am a — er — burglar"
Smith settled hack upon the pillow
drawing the warm coverlets about his
shoulders
"Thank goodness" he murmured
sleepily “I thought you were a
olumber"

Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E Pinkham’s
’ Vegetable Compound Succeeds
One of the greatest triumphs of
Lydia E Plnkbam's Vegetable Com-
pound la the conquering of woman'!
dread enemy Tumor
The growth of a tumor is so In-
sidious that frequently its presence
is wholly unsuspected until It is well
advanced
So called "wandering pains" may
come from its early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly peri-
ods accompanied by unusual pain from
the abdomen through thb groin and
thigh
If you have mysterious pains If
there are indications of inflammation
or displacements secure a bottle of
Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound -made from native roots and
herbs right away and begin its use
The following letters should con-
vince every suffering woman of its
virtue and that it actually ’does
conquer tumors
Mrs May Fry of 836 W Colfax
Ave South Bend Ind writes:
Dear Mrs Plnkh&m: —
“I take great pleasure la writ-
ing to thank you for what Lydia E
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has
done for me I also took the Blood
Purifier In alternate doses with the
Compound Your medicine removed a
cyst tumor of four years' growth
which’ three of the best physicians
declared I had They had s&ld that
only an operation could help me I am
