ANOTHER 600D YEAR
' IN WESTERN CANADA
MANITOBA. SASKATCHEWAN AND
ALBERTA HAVE SPLENDID
CROPS.
Tbe result* of the threshing
throughout Western Canada shows a
more wonderful yield than usual of
wheat, oats, barley and flax, all of
which was harvested and threshed In
perfect order. Not only was the av-
era*e yield excellent over the entire
country, but the quality mas of the
highest standard, Without going into
figures. It is sufficient to say that
wheat graded almost universally very
near the top. Reports are to baud
showing yields of wheat from many
fields which averaged forty bushels
I>er acre, and weighing 65 pounds to
the measured bushel. Oats were very
heavy, running from fifty to one hun-
dred and fifteen bushels to the acre.
Harley also was a very heavy yielder
and kept up the reputation of Western
Canada as a producer of that cereal
In many parts of the country the yield
of flax exceeded tho earlier expecta-
tions, but in other parts, there was
some loss on account of winds blow-
ing off the boll. Hundreds of farm-
ers who hare only been in the country
three or four years, with but little
means when they arrived, will, out of
the crop of this year, clean up all their
Indebtedness, and be able to put some
tbinf aside for further Improvements
on their farms and homes which are
n£w freed of incumbrance. The writ-
er has Juat beard of the experience
of a man in the Battleford district
that is worth repeating He went to
the district seven or eight years ago,
with no money, worked for a time, got
a team of horses, did some freighting
and homesteaded a quarter section of
land. He now’ owns 460 acres of land,
clear of all incumbrances, and has
wheat, oats, barley and hay. as well
as a good number of horses, cattle and
bogs, feeding rough grain to the stock.
He is a firm believer tri mixed farming
The fifty dollars that be first earned
In the country has now increased to
$25,000. He has never had a crop
failure. Instances of this kind could
be repeated over and over again.
There ia a Dane, named Key. east
et Saskatoon, whose oats this year
went 110 bushels to the acre, and his
wheat 40 bushels. He has paid off
the mortgage on his farm, and now
contemplates a trip to Denmark, to
visit his old home. He has no more
cares or worries, but is anxious to
have more of his people settle In that
part. It Is not only the farmer with
limited means and small area of land
who is doing well, and has done won-
derfully In Western Canada this year,
but the man with means, the man who
is able to conduct successful farming
on a large scale and many opportuni-
ties offer for sucb in Western Canada,
also has Increased his bank account
handsomely. A farmer in Southern
Alberta raised 350.000 bushels of grain
in 1913, and made almost a fortune
out of it. In Saskatchewan and in
Manitoba Is to be heard the same
story of what has been done by the
farmer working a large area, which
he ia able to do successfully, by the
use OL. improved farm machinery, en-
abling him to cut hundreds of acres
a day, and plow the land Immediately
with large traction outfits. No better
recommendation could be given the
country than the fact that during the
past year, upwards of 400,000 settlers
arrived in Canada, the greater num-
ber of whom went to the farm. There
are still many thousands of home-
steads still available, capable of pro
ducing such crops and maintaining
such herds as has made rich men out
of the thousands whose experiences
could be reproduced were It neces-
sary.—Advertisement.
THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
Since the institution of this government U has been the fixed
custom of our people to observe one day in each year as a Thanks-
giting Ikiy, on which day the people of all creeds and all conditions
insy return to the Giver of all good gifts thanks for His blessings
during the preceding twelve months.
These recurring thanksgiving occasions have accentuated largely
temporal and material blessings; bountiful harvests and growing bank
accounts have been the inspiration with many; but there are those
among us who feel, when the baud of adversity has fallen heavily, and
the drouth and flood have come, that there Is nothing left for which we
should be thankful.
The people of Oklahoma, notwithstanding the harvests have -been
more meager than we have wished them to be. have many things to
give thanks for that are worth more than grain and fruit and gold.
Material progress toward a higher individual and collective life has
marked the course of this stale in its travels during the past twelve
months; our schools supplying mental want, and churches minster-
ing to the spiritual need of the people, have increased In useful
service, and a general advance along higher and happier lines has
been the portion of our people. It is betlttiug. therefore, that we
return thanks unto Him who shapes the destinies of the nation and
state for these greater blest ings, too frequently overlooked and un-
appreciated
WHEREFORE, I. L*-e Cruce, governor of the state of Oklahoma,
do proclaim that Thursday. November 27. 1913, be and the same Is
set apart as Thanksgiving Day—a day upon which the people of the
state are requested to pause in their daily pursuits and give thanks
unto God for the things of life which are good and which He permits
us to enjoy.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF. ! have hereunto set my hand and
caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Oklahoma, thia
the 13th day of November, 1913. _
• Seal > LEE CRFCE. Governor.
Attest: BENJAMIN F HARRISON. Secretary of State.
DEFENDANT KILLED AT TRIAL
Relative Accused of Crime: Sens*
tional Charge Had Been Made.
Natural—Historically Correct.
"No adults admitted," interposed
the stage-door keeper as the frenzied
mother tried to break in on the chil-
dren’s fancy dress ball.”
"But 1 must go in. My little girl's
In there, and she's forgotten part of

Shawnee.—News of a sensational
affray in the court room of Justice
of the Peace Andy Hunter at Trous
dale, south of Shawnee, was brought
to thia city, together with the vic-

charge of assault with Intent to kill
his girl wife with whom he had eloped
two months ago. she being the com-
plainant. w
In the course of the trial the girl
testified that Triplett had forced her
to have relations with other men, that
she might have money to give him.
According to her testimony she had
told her oldest brother. Bill Teal, and
the county attorney about it. but no
one else. She said that Triplett, while
drunk, had attempted to cut her with
a razor.
During the trial the defendant flatly-
denied the story of his wife as to her
relations with other men; the theory
of the defense being that the older
brother had concocted the story and
forced her to tell it. Triplett was held
under a fl.000 bond, and while the
bond was being arranged, approached
bis wife. She went up to him and
put her arms about his neck.
Bill Teal, it Is alleged, seized her
arms, drew a gun from his pocket and-
fired point blank at Triplett, but
missed. Triplett turned his back on
Teal and two shots through bis back
followed In quick succession. After
Triplett fell to the floor two more
shot were fired Into his body. The
room was crowded with people, all of
whom fled but Justice Hunter, a one-
armed man, who seized Teal and took
nis gun away from him. Teal was
then hurried to Tribbey for safe keep-
ing, and later was removed to the
rountv jail at Tecumseh. Triplett was
wrought to Shawnee, where he died aft-
?r making a dying declaration deny-
ing the chargee that had been made
against him. The entire south end

the affair.
