HOT IN ALBERTA. Extreme April Heat Registers 100 De gree! la the Ban. Claresholm, April 6, 1905. To the Editor: I did intend to write you sooner, but wanted to see how winter wheat went through the winter in this northern climate. The wheat'- looks, fine, better than I ever expected con sidering the depth of frost we" had. I have not heard of one case of winter-killed. It is no (jueetion in my mind that Southern Alberta is going to be a winter wheat country and one of the best in the Northwest, jf; am glad it is eo, as so many Umjvtilla county farmers have invested :!good, cold cash in Alberta dirt - Weather is splendid. Every body is either seeding, discing or plowing. The thermometer registered 100 in the sun at noon yesterday, but nights are cold. In this nighborhood the frost is nearly all out of the ground, We are digging post-holes and ' do not find frost. I have heard in Oregou that the ground freezes twenty feet deep and that the frost never gets entirely out here; and now we are only in the first part of April and the frost - is nearly all out Tell Bill McBride that when I got . back here I failed to see the imagin ary big cracks he said were in David Williams' land. ; . A week ago we had a terrible prairie fire, with my place about the center, ten miles north and south, and thirty miles east and west. It burned all the pasture in the neighborhood, and some haystacks. It is supposed it was ignited by the sparks from a railroad engine. Mosgrove, Nelson, Martin and An- i dette's outfit got here a few days ago I after ten days traveling. They had lots of trouble they say, and their horses are the worst looking lot I ever saw. Two -of them died since they landed. ' N. S. Averill's horses came through in the best shape. . " Averill is witching for water today with a willow. I hope success will be his. You have no idea how many people are coming in here. Every day a train load comes in. Homesteads are all taken for forty miles east of Clares- holm. They have a postoffice twenty five miles east of town at the new dance hall. We are going to have one at the northeast corner of Gillis' sec tion. Nelson, Averill, Rigby and my self are talking of putting up a barb wire telephone between our farms and the latter, on to town. The Oregon people are going to have .everything up to date in this Northwest. In another month the Oregon farmers here are going to set things humming plowing. They are all used to farm ing on a large scale. Resp. Yours, Nick Taitinger. The Colonel's Waterloo. Colonel John M. Fuller, of Honey Grove,.
