Alberta Country Fast Coming to the , Front. - The Canadian Pacific Railway com pany is now engaged in a great irriga tion work, just east of Calgary, thai will eventually bring under water 1,500,000 acres of as fine land as there . is in all of Canada. They have jus thrown open to settlement the first block of 110,000 acres, which they are gelling at .from $15.00 to $25.00 per acre, in connection with this irri gated land they are selling non-irigable lands at from $12.00 to $15.00 per acre, which cannot be surpassed for grazing purposes, and affords a range where stock may graze throughout the entire year without shelter. The future of Western Canada, and particularly the southern portion of Al berta province, Is assured. Calgary, ite metropolis, a city ol 20,000 inhab itants, comosed largely of Americans, is a live, up-to-date city. Its retail business is in the hands of bright, pro , gressive business men, who handle enormous stocks. There are a number of jobbing houses located there, and a home market for stock is afforded by a . large packng house. Along the line of the Canadian Pacific railway in South ern Alberta, there have been twenty . elevators established ,the past year, to Deioi lowed by thirty mora next year, eo that there will be no shortage for the immense crops produced in this section.

THE SPENCER SEEDLESS APPLE An Expert Investigates It and Makes Flattering Report. There has been much adverse criti cism of the bpencer heedless Apple. notably in the Rural New Yorker and some of its satellites. The opinion of a recognized horticulturist, who . has made a thorough examination of the apple, being allowed free range in the orchard where they are grown, should be valuable to those who are thinking planting these trees, as well as to those who by reason of the criticisms have been deterred from purchasing, A company was recently organized in Canada to handle the Spencer Seedless Apple trees, but the adverse criticisms alarmed the organizers, and they re fused to proceed further with the nego tiations until they could have the prop osition thoroughly examined by an ex perienced horticulturist of reputation of their own selection.-" This was readily assented to; and as a result the Hon John Dryden, who for more than twen ty years was minister of agriculture for the province of Ontario, was selected to examine and report on this apple. The Hon John Dryden s name is a household word jn Canada and Great Britain, and his reputation is such as will carry great weight wherever he is known. His report is most flattering and an unqualified endorsement of the apple. A copy of it is sent free upon applicat or to the Spencer Feed'es Apple Company, Everett, Washington.

But Mother Earth seems to have a sense of humor and gratifies it by turning man's devices Into means for his discomfiture. The dam of Assouan Is the latest humiliating Instance of tremendous achievement producing results opposite to those planned. That mighty engineering work was to be the monument to the British oc cupancy of Egypt It was to end all famine in the Nile valley. There was to be no further dependence upon the chances of the seasons for the enrlch- ening overflows. , Held within Assou an's mammoth reservoirs, the fertiliz ing flood could be released whenever needed. The Nile crops would be per fect and the people happy each year, Instead of at such Intervals as - the whim of the river willed. AH the nations applauded England when the work that was to make Egypt a land of plenty was completed. But .nature had not been consulted with sufficient care. And to-day the Egyptians are damning the dam of As souan with oriental fervor. Outbursts of fanatics, aggrieved be cause some of the most sacred relics of the past have been submerged might be disregarded. But there are more practical reasons for the growing dis content Water, once an occasional boon, now Is had In plenty. But the crops are not what they were when the Nile attended ta Its own overflow ing . Grain Is scantier, and cotton, the country's most valuable product Is de teriorating, Its once unequaled fiber ap proaching every year nearer similarity with the more brittle, feast costly American staple. - The explanation is simple. It was not the Nile flood but the fertilizing matter held In solution that rlchened the soil Those properties are pre cipitated when the water Is held stag nant behind the barrier at Assouan. England, thinking Its work finished, finds that It has only begun a more difficult task. Dame Nature has had her joke. New York Mall. The total commerce of Abyssinia is about $0,500,000 a year.

At a six-day tournament held In the Tuilerles the efficiency of the wax bul let, was demonstrated. The combatants wear thick screens for masks, with heavy glass over the eyes, and wear thick clothing to pre vent bruising from the impact of the balls. The distance Is 25 paces and the weapons are revolvers. The director of the combat keeping his gaze fixed upon a metronome which beats eighty to 100 times a minute, makes the In quiry as In an actual duel, "Are you ready?" and when they reply "Yes" the director, timing his words exactly to the beats of the pendulum, cries, "Fire one two three!"
