n
You have doubtless many times wondered, along with thousands of others, why the heavy columns of smoke
and soot you have noticed pouring forth from your neighber's chimneys and your own could not be harnessed
and turned into heat.
You have probably recognized the fact that these columns of smoke and soot had a monetary value, repre
senting in the course of a season many hard-earned dollars. It may have occurred to you that this waste
literally "burned-up money" accomplished no better purpose than warming the heavens, befogging the skies,
soiling your neighbors' housas as well as your own, might be prevented by some new invention.
The Furnace Question
FirstTo get HEAT.
Second To get ALL the heat POSSIBLE out of the fuel consumed; op, in other words, to minimize the
amount of fuel necessary to obtain the required amount of heat.
Third CHEAP FUEL; at the LEAST POSSIBLE EXPENSE.
Fourth To acquire the BEST RESULTS with the LEAST amount of ATTENTION necessary.
Fifth The ABATEMENT of SMOKE and DIRT.
HEAT means COAL; COAL means DOLLARS; therefore, your heat Is equivalent to so many dolrars. There
is a way of burning coal without utilizing all the heat units it contains, and, therefore, without getting the bene
fit of all the dollars in it, and those were the dollars which you noticed coming out of your neighbor's chimneys
and your own.
Of the five results mentioned above, which are sought for by all furnace manufacturers, the first only Is ac
complished by the ordinary top-feed furnace.. The other four results are either not possible, or possible only
in part with the topfeed furnaces. Our UNDERFEED furnace accomplishes all five of these results effectively
and satisfactorily.
SEE THE FINE DISPLAYS IN OUR WINDOW. While looking kindly step on the inside and you will be
given the best of attention and estimates cheerfully furnished.
We would be pleased to have you call and see our display and learn prices. Make dates now
before it is time for housecleaning and you will be given the best of attention.
Mantels and Girattes
Every home is not complete without from one to three mantels and grates, as they are the finest looking
piece of furniture in the room when you make your selection according to the size of the room.
What is nicer after you have taken a walk on a cold morning or evening and come home and have a nice
fire staring you in the face with a bright blaze from a natural gas or c"oal fire In the grate.
The cost of operating a coal or natural gas fire in the Spring and Fall before starting-your stoves and
furnaces is nothing to compare with the comfort you derive from same. For instance:
Every reader of this article remembers the very warm weather we had In March, when hundreds of peo
ple took down their base burners and heaters and when the present cold weather came nearly every house In
Richmond was without a fire. ,
What did this mean?
It meant that those people had to go to the expense of setting up their stoves or starting fire in their fur
naces where if they had had a fire-place they could have had a coal or gas fire in it and taken the dampness
out of the house without incurring extra expense and work.
We have the largest and finest display of mantels and tiles in our window that has ever been seen In
Richmond, barring (Chicago or New York.)
This large selection of tiles is from the latest designers of tiles In the United States. You don't have to go
to Cincinnati or Indianapolis to make your selections.
We have in our employ a mantel and tile setter who will give you the best of attention In all lines of re
pairing fireplaces and making them up to date.'

DISEASES IN THE DUST.
the general line of bettering con
ditions that human life may be pro
longed, the New York "World has this
timely editorial:
Dr. W. Gilman Thompson indicts the
dust of the city in eight paragraphs of
disagreeable description. He follows
with a disturbing summary of the pos
sible results of dirt inhalation. Eye
and ear troubles, tuberculosis, tonsili
tis, quinsy, laryngitis, bronchitis, pneu
monia, broncho-pneumonia and Influ
enza are some of the afflictions dis
tributed in dust. And there will be lung
irritations which may work up lurk
ing heart disease.
These professional observations re
move much of the facetiousness we are
wont to pertieve in the familiar pro
verb that "We must all eat our peck
of dirt." The possible accompani
ments to the diet, the physical "fix
ings," are too dismaying.
Dr. Thompson's presentation is an
argument, of course, for ceaseless vigi
lance and tireless energy, in. the street
cleaning department. Things we might
I.ave. but do not have. But besides the
regular order of sweeping and gather-ing-up,
the circumstances call for vast
ly more attention than New York has
cer paid to the item cf street-flus'i-Jiig.

on the fact that he had served two
terms as president and had been turn

gently with the foot upon the soft
pedal called attention to the striking
similarity between General Grant and
our present president, Theodore Roose

great men for political traditions and
their independence, of congressional
control, etc.
In another column on the same page
appeared a reprinted editorial from
the Chicago Tribune, in which that pa

President Roosevelt for another term
just as it had fought against the re-
nomination of General Grant in 1880.
Very nice, but there is a slight differ
ence, in this present age. In 1SS0 the
money power of Wall Street was in the
saddle and took advantage of the third
term bugaboo to do away with Gen
eral Grant. ' '
Today the people are in the saddle.

B. F. Wissler, who is now in Cana

ing letter to a Richmond friend:
Irdrie, Aita, April 147T907r
I have been so busy since my arriv
al here that I have not been able to
write to as many of my. friends as I
should like. The first week here, the
weather was really too cold to work
out of doors, but since the 2Sth of
March we have been busy as bee,
building a new house for Mr. Doney,
two miles distant from my shack. By
the way, on my arrival I found a quar
ter section adjoining my section, with
a house and two cattle barns on it I
immediately bought the quarter and
thus will save about $800 in buildings.
This quarter has 40 acres broke
which I am now discing to sow in oats.
We are working four horses to the disc
harrow, which cuts a strip about S4
feet wide. Our drill is a 20 disc, tak
ing about lOVs feet at a time. Every
thing is on a large scale." Four
horses to the plow, in fact you must
have large machinery or you are not
regarded as farming. I have four as
good horses as one would wish, and
shall need four more in a few weeks.
I intend to plow 400 acres this sum

Roosevelt being "imperialism" rot.
The only "imperialism" he would rep
resent would be the imperial right of
the citizens of this country to be gov
erned by whom they may see fit to
place In the presidential chair.
The significance attached to Satur
day's Star is that it was trying In a
round about manner to say what the
Chicago Tribune said openly: "I am
not for Roosevelt for another term."
And what is even more significant is
the .fact that the Star did not dare say
openly what it implied, because it well
knows that Indiana the people, not
the politicians is for President Roosevelt.
Our Cuban friends couldn't refrain.

tons, the neighbors say. Besides the
40 acres of oats I shall try to get in
40 acres, of flax and barley and a few
acres of potatoes. All these do re
markably well here.
Wheat, (winter, Alberta Red) yields
as high, as 20 to 55 bushels per acre;
oats, G5 to 100 bu.; barley SO to 50 bu.;
flax, 20 to 25 bu. Potatoes yield so
much per acre that it is almost in
credible, GOO to 500 bushels. The gov
ernment report, which is made up from
the sworn returns made by the thrash
ers, is just published. A few notes
from it will be of interest to you, no
doubt. This Province is divided in
to districts for governmental purposes.
We are in the Calgary district. The
crop averages for last year in this dis
trict are compared with other countries
as follows::
Wheat Oats. Barley.
.26.5 46.8 39.9
.13.9 27.1 22.
..10.4 31.1 27
N. Dakota. 1105.. 14 3S.9 2-S
When it is remembered that this re
port is based on machine measure, the
yield by weight is eveu more astonish
iug. Nearly all Alberta wheat is over
weight. 62 to G4 Bounds to the bushel.
Oats runs from 42 to 44 pounds to the
stroke measure. Frequently oats
runs 4S lbs. to the bushel. The Al
berta oats are sought by the cereal
manufacturers and have a ready sale.
I enclose a few grains.
That you may not conclude that
wheat, oats and barley are all w raise
here, I must not neglect to mention the
suga.- beet industry, which though in
its Infancy, is destined to become a
source of much profit to Albertan
farmers, and especially so in the Cal
gary and other southern diatritts. Six
to ten tons of beeta are raistd per
acre. There is a large bv-et-sugar

Ail Kinds or vegetables, common
to "Old Wayne" grow here in Eden
like exuberance. It is but a common
matter to see turnips weighing irom
ten to eighteen pounds. This is
vouched for by a Christian minister
and some common folk besides. By
the way they marketed their turnips
at 50 to 75 cents a bushel last fall
Parsnips, carots and beets sell readi
ly. Squaw corn, a small corn, sells
green at 75 cents a dozen. Besides
these there are grown radishes, let
tuce, beans, peas, water melons,
squashes and cabbage. Tho last
named sells at 7 cents a pound now.
I must say that some of the stories
I hear from the older settlers are
almost fabulous. They say that in the
dry years, from 1902 to 1904, when
water was so scarce that cattle had
to be driven for miles to water, they
laised their largest crops. Wheat
60 to 70 bushels per acre, oats 120
bushels. So you gee that a drought
has Its compensating characteristics
here.
It is said by these "old timers ,
some who lived here ten to 15 years
ago, that my section of land was
eagerly sought for watering and hay
ing purposes, ranchers coming from
a great distance to cut hay and water
their stock in the great lake adjoin
ing. This is regarded as the best
grazing section in the country. I am
more than pleased with my purchase,
so far. It is really better than I an
ticipated. I have never seen any
where else so rich a soil as there is
spread all over this country. The
very hill-tops here, a rich black loam
that would put the best in Wayne
county to shame. In the level por
tions, and it is mostly level around
here, this soil is even more fertile,
and varying in depth from twelve to
36 inches. This soil must not be con
fQunded with your swamp muck, for
it is much different and vastly better.
This will produce No. 1 wheat the first
year after breaking, while your Wayne
county "muck" would have to be
"corned" several years before small
grain would grow well. Besides, there
Is no grubbing to do hero to get at
the good soil. Nothing to do but to
take hold of your plow and look
straight ahead. No snags, few stones,
to break your reverie of waving grain
and overflowing granaries.
Land is advancing iu price rapidly.
Five dollars a year is about the an
nual increment. Three years ago some
of the best could be bought for $3
to $5 rer acre. Now it is $35 to SGO.
There- is some adjoining me on the
south that can be had for ?15 to '$25.
The latter is improved. A few miles
away there are some very good sec
tions at great bargains. I have taken
two trips over miles of them that
would make Hoosier farmers look with
astonishment, could they but see them.
Think of driving over miles and miles
of prairie, rich as the valley of the
Nile, through grass from one. to ten
ftlocg and so thick-on-the ground
that walking becomes inconvenient.
Now, so far I have given you the
good side of this country. Like all
other countries this has its draw
backs. Just how much they will figure
in the total of life here I can not yet
say. But considering them in their
conservative, aspects, I am persuaded
that there is no place in North Am
erica presenting greater possibilities io
the industrious man with a little
money than does Alberta. Few coun
tries ever settle up faster than this.
A few families of Illinoisans passed
our shack to the east. They came last
weeR and reported that their train
came In three sections, the first con
sisting of seventy-five cars, and the
second and third of fifty cars each.
These contained settlers and settlers'
effects. I have met some Hoosiers and
many from the prairie states. There
is a public school with thirty pupils
on my farm, which is maintained for
forty-four weeks in the year. Teachers
are employed the year around at $45
a calendar month, or $540 a year.
The tax -levy is $12 on a quarter sec
tion, $10 for school and $2 for state
purposes. The requirements for a
teacher's license are one year's attend
ance at a Provincial Normal school
and a satisfactory examination. This
opportunity is open to foreigners and
natives alike.
