Riley la Not Confirmed
Ben W. Riley, who has served for
nearly two years as secretary of the
state election board, failed of con-
firmation by the senate of the Okla-
homa legislature when that body
took a final vote on the matter, the
vote standing 22 against and 19 for
confirmation. Governor Cruce was
notified of the action taken by the
senate, the official notification simply
being that the senate failed to con-
flrm’Mr. Riley, and not giving the vote
by which it was done.
The absence of a secretary on the
board may have some bearing on the
county seat election to be held in Pot-
tuwatomie county on February 6 No
officials have been appointed yet to
hold the election. This is always done

OF (MM
Tbe closing at the year 191] bee
brought out tbe usual bank statements
accompanied by tbe addressee of tbe
Presidents and General Managsrs of
these institutions. Their reading is
Interesting na they show in a striking
manner the prosperity of the country,
and deal with economic matters in a
Brat band way. Those who know any-
thing or Canadian banking methods
know the stability of these Institu-
tion ■, and tba high character of tho
men who are placed in charge. In
discussing tbe land situation the Pres>
ideal of tbe Union Bank of Canada,
whose branches are to be found in all
parts of tbe Canadian West, said:—
“A good deal has been said about
speculation in land. Tbe Increase In
land values has added enormously to
tbe assets of Western business, and
baa to some extent formed a basis for
extended credit, but this is not felt to
be a drawback when tbe value Is real
and convertible. We consider tbnt n
business standing which Is strength-
ened and enhanced by property hold-
ings Is entitled to a reasonable en-
largement of credit for legitimate busi-
ness operations.” •
It will thus be seen that tbe banks
recognize tho certain rise in tbe value
of farm lauda In Western Canada.
When the facts are known of the won-
derful producing qualities of farm
lauds In tbe Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, it is sim-
1 pie to understand the liberal stand
I taken by the banks,
i Living not far from Lashburn. Sask ,
i 1b a farmer named Clarke who In 1912
aectired a crop of MarquiB Wheat,
yielding 7G bushels per acre. This
la spoken of as a record yield, and this
is doubtless true, but several cases
have been brought to notice where
1 yields almost as large have been pro-
duced. and In different parts of tbe
country. During the past year there
have been reported many yields of
front 35 to 45 bushels of wheat to the
acre. Oats, too, were a success-
ful crop, and ao was the barley
crop. Wheat that would yield 40
bushels per acre, would bring on the
market 70c (a fair figure) per bushel,
a gross return of 928.00 per aero. Al-
low 912.00 per acre tan outside figure)
there would be a balance of 916.00 per
acre net profit This figure should
satisfy anyone having land that cost
less than $100.00 per acre. Very much
less return than this proves satisfac-
tory to those holding lands in Iowa
and Illinois worth from $250 to $300
per acre.
The latest Government returns give
an approximate estimate of four hun-
dred thousand of an immigration to
Canada during 1912. Of this number
200,000 will be from the United States
Most of these are of the farming class
and it Is not difficult to understand
why farming lands in Canada will ad-
vance from ten to twenty per cent
within the next twelve months. There-
fore Investment In Western Canadian
lands is not looked upon as being in
the speculative class. Those fortunate
enough to secure free homesteads In
Canada will acquire In the Intrinsic
value of the land alone the best pos-
sible start for a splendid future. Ad-
vertisement.
