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,. Texas, nearly met his Waterloo
from kidney and liver trouble. In a
recent letter he says: "I was nearly
dead of these complaints, and although
1 trieu my family doctor, ne aid me no

and thank Sod who gave you the know
ledge to make them." Sold and guaran

Incredible Brutality.
It would have been incredible brutal
ity if Chas. F. Lemberger, of Syracuse,
N. Y., had not done the best be could

so I applied Bucklen'a Arnica Salve,
which quickly healed it and saved his
eye." Good for bums and ulcers, too.
