Canadian National Railways at
Kosthern in Saskatchewan, has
l.roiiably produced more grain and
more money than any ground of
similar size inthc world. Here In
experiments over thirty years, Mr.
Wheeler has improved wheat and
originated new varieties that have
meant millions of dollars to farm
ers tn Canada ana mo unuea
States. It has been said of him
that he has done more for American
' farmers than any other man.
i He has won five world's cham

Catherine Ranger stittion where .Ed
Miller of Union had camped Thurs
day night. Friday noon as E!iU
came by he took look at the place
where the fire was and found live
coals. In the place where Ihe firei
was it was perfectly safe, but, because!
it is against the fire laws, which arci
posted conspicuously in many places,:
to leave a fire unattended. Mr. Mill
er was requested to report to Justice
of the Peace Maxwell and. plead guil
ty to violating the fire laws. j
"These arc strenuous methods, es
pecially where people who are usually
careful ore involved for a chance piece
of carelessness in leaving a fire with
out extinguishing it,", Ellis said, "butj
we . must bo strict about enforcing
laws because the fire loss that is oc
casioned .by 'such carelessness is tre
mendous. Over 6i per cent fif thf
fires in 4hc past
have be-.i man-
caused. .By tharwc mean the.t they
fiat
have been traced to causes that arc!
due to some carelessness' or other o:l
men in the forests and leaving ranir
fires unextinguished and unattended
have caused most of them."
Five small fires have teen startei
in Mr. Ellis' section of the fore.
but owing to the good sys'em in use
by the department it has been possible
to get to them within, six hours of
their starting and as weather condi
tions have been faverable practica!ly
no damage has been done.
While it has been dry the combina
tion of conditions influencing the
spread of forest firesj as for instance
wind, getting a good start before atd
reached the fire and unusually try'
growths of underbrush, has not been
such as to spread fires beyond con
trtl rapidly. .
