PAGE EIGHT GRAND RAPIDS MAN {STATE OWNS MUCH’ TALKS OF CANADA) W. McCullogh Has been Nearly 200 Miles Northwest of Athabasca . Landing Far From Railroad W. McCullogh. who recently re- ‘turned from a business trip to iNew York following a year spent in the Canadian northwest was speaking a few days ago to a rep- resentative of the Herald-Review about the Canadian agricultural nd farming situation. He is probably the only man in this sec- tion who has ever been as far into the wilds of that country as his trip took him. From Athabaska Landing he traveled 190 miles by stage into the Peace River country try to Girourd, a small settlement just 200 miles from any railroad. ‘fhe financial stress of our nor- thern neighbor has occupied such a prominent place in the general discussion of late that Mr. MeCul- logh ‘was asked about his know- | rning the causes. He he farming has gone ledge co said that too far ahead of the marketing | The country is settling | facilities. up rapidly and farmers have gone into th coeuntry far from any transportation facilities and have raised enormous crops of wheat, but now have no way of getting it to market at a paying price. A representative of the Cana- Wian bank at Winnipeg traveling through the western portion of Canada recently said that the bank would furnish funds for farmers, who desired to go into diversified farmi but not a cent for exclu- sive wheat farmers. The future of Canada will not be checked by this panic, accord- ing to the view of Mr. McCullogh I he is preparing to go again t spring when the snow goes off. He purché monton worth $6,000 but these are at the present time dead property ‘but: they will come to life again when the reaction comes for that country. ! Deer Season Opens Monday. The deer season opens on Mon- iday and the law allows you ten| days in which to secure one ant- Jered deer. It might be as well, thowever, to bear in mind a few regulations laid down by the state for the guidance of those who brave getting shot inj attempt to secure a supply of venison. Don’t ‘try to use dogs, or a_ headlight nor attempt the destruction of the game by any other means than through a gun held to the shoulder. A game warden will probably have you in charge if these suggestions are disregarded. The season; for grouse and chicken closes on the 7th. As a sort of recompense for this, the whitefish season is now “open. Mink and muskrat may pe trapped after December 14. Notice of Sealed Bids.

There is something harder to ‘face than death, and that is the realization of failure and misdirected effort and wrongdoing.

There are 164 leases in \fopee, 25 of which are on mines jopened and producing. There al |31 properties known, to contain ore |but as yet undeveloped, and 408 pieces upon which no drilling, has Jas yet been done. On the 56} Icases upon which exploration, jwork has been done there is a ota’ of 142,098,408 tons. The esti- ed amount aceruing to the state in royalties within the next |35 years is $50,000,000. and the ulti- ‘mate amount to be received by \the commonwealth from its hold- lings is estimated at $200,000,000. The mines operated under state le: shipped 1,436,736 tons of ore jlast year. By far the greatest part of this came from the mines in St. Louis county, there being but jtwo producers located in Itasca— the Sullivan and the Hale near Marble.

A. L. Wellein has purchased the ict in former years oceupied by the Coliseum theatre on the west side | of Leland avenue, and has a crew of men and teams busy excavat- ing the basement of a new garage, which will be a model of its kind | when completed.

When completed the garage will be the most thorough- ly up-to-date affair of its kind in {the county and Mr. Wellein de- {serves credit for his enterprise. ¢ WANTS and FOR SALE Five Cents Per Line | For Sale or Trade--One mare. 12 years ofd; weight 1200 ibs.
