You have doubtless many times wondered, along with thousands of others, why the heavy columns of smoke and soot you have noticed pouring forth from your neighber's chimneys and your own could not be harnessed and turned into heat. You have probably recognized the fact that these columns of smoke and soot had a monetary value, representing in the course of a season many hard-earned dollars. It may have occurred to you that this waste literally "burned-up money" accomplished no better purpose than warming the heavens, befogging the skies, soiling your neighbors' housas as well as your own, might be prevented by some new invention.

The Furnace Question FirstTo get HEAT. Second To get ALL the heat POSSIBLE out of the fuel consumed; op, in other words, to minimize the amount of fuel necessary to obtain the required amount of heat. Third CHEAP FUEL; at the LEAST POSSIBLE EXPENSE. Fourth To acquire the BEST RESULTS with the LEAST amount of ATTENTION necessary. Fifth The ABATEMENT of SMOKE and DIRT. HEAT means COAL; COAL means DOLLARS; therefore, your heat Is equivalent to so many dolrars. There is a way of burning coal without utilizing all the heat units it contains, and, therefore, without getting the benefit of all the dollars in it, and those were the dollars which you noticed coming out of your neighbor's chimneys and your own. Of the five results mentioned above, which are sought for by all furnace manufacturers, the first only Is accomplished by the ordinary top-feed furnace.. The other four results are either not possible, or possible only in part with the topfeed furnaces. Our UNDERFEED furnace accomplishes all five of these results effectively and satisfactorily. SEE THE FINE DISPLAYS IN OUR WINDOW. While looking kindly step on the inside and you will be given the best of attention and estimates cheerfully furnished.

We would be pleased to have you call and see our display and learn prices. Make dates now before it is time for housecleaning and you will be given the best of attention.

Mantels and Girattes Every home is not complete without from one to three mantels and grates, as they are the finest looking piece of furniture in the room when you make your selection according to the size of the room. What is nicer after you have taken a walk on a cold morning or evening and come home and have a nice fire staring you in the face with a bright blaze from a natural gas or c"oal fire In the grate. The cost of operating a coal or natural gas fire in the Spring and Fall before starting-your stoves and furnaces is nothing to compare with the comfort you derive from same. For instance: Every reader of this article remembers the very warm weather we had In March, when hundreds of people took down their base burners and heaters and when the present cold weather came nearly every house In Richmond was without a fire. , What did this mean? It meant that those people had to go to the expense of setting up their stoves or starting fire in their furnaces where if they had had a fire-place they could have had a coal or gas fire in it and taken the dampness out of the house without incurring extra expense and work. We have the largest and finest display of mantels and tiles in our window that has ever been seen In Richmond, barring (Chicago or New York.) This large selection of tiles is from the latest designers of tiles In the United States. You don't have to go to Cincinnati or Indianapolis to make your selections. We have in our employ a mantel and tile setter who will give you the best of attention In all lines of repairing fireplaces and making them up to date.'

Maybe this sudden activity of the Tribune in Illinois and the Star in Indiana, is the opening gun of the '$5,000,000 conspirators" in the campaign of reaction against President Roosevelt and his policies.

DISEASES IN THE DUST. the general line of bettering conditions that human life may be prolonged, the New York "World has this

timely editorial: Dr. W. Gilman Thompson indicts the

dust of the city in eight paragraphs of

disagreeable description. He follows with a disturbing summary of the possible results of dirt inhalation. Eye and ear troubles, tuberculosis, tonsilitis, quinsy, laryngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, broncho-pneumonia and Influenza are some of the afflictions distributed in dust. And there will be lung irritations which may work up lurking heart disease. These professional observations remove much of the facetiousness we are wont to pertieve in the familiar proverb that "We must all eat our peck of dirt." The possible accompaniments to the diet, the physical "fixings," are too dismaying. Dr. Thompson's presentation is an argument, of course, for ceaseless vigilance and tireless energy, in. the street cleaning department. Things we might I.ave. but do not have. But besides the regular order of sweeping and gather-ing-up, the circumstances call for vastly more attention than New York has

president. Especial stress was laid upon the fact that he had served two terms as president and had been turned down by his party as a candidate for a third term. And then the Star gently with the foot upon the soft pedal called attention to the striking similarity between General Grant and our present president, Theodore Roosevelt, of the disregard of both, these great men for political traditions and

their independence, of congressional

control, etc.

In another column on the same page appeared a reprinted editorial from

the Chicago Tribune, in which that pa

per declared .it would fight against President Roosevelt for another term just as it had fought against the re-

nomination of General Grant in 1880. Very nice, but there is a slight difference, in this present age. In 1SS0 the money power of Wall Street was in the saddle and took advantage of the third

term bugaboo to do away with General Grant. ' '

Today the people are in the saddle.

They likewise are paying astonishingly little attention to old line politics

and politicians, Inclining decidedly to

ward men of the Roosevelt stamp, men - who do things of their own ac

cord and not because outraged public sentiment forces them to. And as to

IS WELL PLEASED WITH CANADA. B. F. Wissler Is Convinced That No Place In North America Presents Greater Possibilities Than Alberta.

B. F. Wissler, who is now in Canada, has written the following interesting letter to a Richmond friend: Irdrie, Aita, April 147T907r

I have been so busy since my arrival here that I have not been able to write to as many of my. friends as I should like. The first week here, the weather was really too cold to work out of doors, but since the 2Sth of March we have been busy as bee, building a new house for Mr. Doney, two miles distant from my shack. By the way, on my arrival I found a quarter section adjoining my section, with a house and two cattle barns on it I

immediately bought the quarter and thus will save about $800 in buildings. This quarter has 40 acres broke which I am now discing to sow in oats. We are working four horses to the disc harrow, which cuts a strip about S4 feet wide. Our drill is a 20 disc, taking about lOVs feet at a time. Everything is on a large scale." Four horses to the plow, in fact you must

have large machinery or you are not

regarded as farming. I have four as

good horses as one would wish, and shall need four more in a few weeks. I intend to plow 400 acres this sum

Roosevelt being "imperialism" rot. The only "imperialism" he would rep

resent would be the imperial right of

the citizens of this country to be governed by whom they may see fit to place In the presidential chair. The significance attached to Saturday's Star is that it was trying In a round about manner to say what the Chicago Tribune said openly: "I am not for Roosevelt for another term." And what is even more significant is the .fact that the Star did not dare say openly what it implied, because it well knows that Indiana the people, not the politicians is for President Roosevelt.

tons, the neighbors say. Besides the 40 acres of oats I shall try to get in 40 acres, of flax and barley and a few acres of potatoes. All these do remarkably well here. Wheat, (winter, Alberta Red) yields as high, as 20 to 55 bushels per acre; oats, G5 to 100 bu.; barley SO to 50 bu.; flax, 20 to 25 bu. Potatoes yield so

much per acre that it is almost incredible, GOO to 500 bushels. The government report, which is made up from the sworn returns made by the thrashers, is just published. A few notes from it will be of interest to you, no doubt. This Province is divided into districts for governmental purposes. We are in the Calgary district. The crop averages for last year in this district are compared with other countries as follows::

Wheat Oats. Barley. .26.5 46.8 39.9 .13.9 27.1 22.

..10.4 31.1 27

N. Dakota. 1105.. 14 3S.9 2-S

When it is remembered that this re

port is based on machine measure, the

yield by weight is eveu more astonish

iug. Nearly all Alberta wheat is over

weight. 62 to G4 Bounds to the bushel.

Oats runs from 42 to 44 pounds to the stroke measure. Frequently oats

runs 4S lbs. to the bushel. The Alberta oats are sought by the cereal manufacturers and have a ready sale. I enclose a few grains. That you may not conclude that wheat, oats and barley are all w raise here, I must not neglect to mention the suga.- beet industry, which though in its Infancy, is destined to become a source of much profit to Albertan farmers, and especially so in the Calgary and other southern diatritts. Six to ten tons of beeta are raistd per acre. There is a large bv-et-sugar factory sttKainond, Albertawhkhpro-

Ail Kinds or vegetables, common

to "Old Wayne" grow here in Eden like exuberance. It is but a common matter to see turnips weighing irom ten to eighteen pounds. This is vouched for by a Christian minister and some common folk besides. By

the way they marketed their turnips

at 50 to 75 cents a bushel last fall

Parsnips, carots and beets sell readi

ly. Squaw corn, a small corn, sells green at 75 cents a dozen. Besides these there are grown radishes, lettuce, beans, peas, water melons, squashes and cabbage. Tho last

named sells at 7 cents a pound now. I must say that some of the stories I hear from the older settlers are almost fabulous. They say that in the dry years, from 1902 to 1904, when water was so scarce that cattle had to be driven for miles to water, they laised their largest crops. Wheat 60 to 70 bushels per acre, oats 120 bushels. So you gee that a drought has Its compensating characteristics

here.

It is said by these "old timers , some who lived here ten to 15 years ago, that my section of land was eagerly sought for watering and haying purposes, ranchers coming from a great distance to cut hay and water their stock in the great lake adjoining. This is regarded as the best grazing section in the country. I am more than pleased with my purchase, so far. It is really better than I anticipated. I have never seen any

where else so rich a soil as there is spread all over this country. The very hill-tops here, a rich black loam that would put the best in Wayne county to shame. In the level portions, and it is mostly level around here, this soil is even more fertile, and varying in depth from twelve to 36 inches. This soil must not be confQunded with your swamp muck, for it is much different and vastly better. This will produce No. 1 wheat the first year after breaking, while your Wayne county "muck" would have to be "corned" several years before small

grain would grow well. Besides, there Is no grubbing to do hero to get at the good soil. Nothing to do but to take hold of your plow and look

straight ahead. No snags, few stones, to break your reverie of waving grain and overflowing granaries. Land is advancing iu price rapidly. Five dollars a year is about the annual increment. Three years ago some of the best could be bought for $3 to $5 rer acre. Now it is $35 to SGO. There- is some adjoining me on the

south that can be had for ?15 to '$25. The latter is improved. A few miles away there are some very good sections at great bargains. I have taken

two trips over miles of them that would make Hoosier farmers look with astonishment, could they but see them.

Think of driving over miles and miles

of prairie, rich as the valley of the

Nile, through grass from one. to ten

ftlocg and so thick-on-the ground

that walking becomes inconvenient. Now, so far I have given you the good side of this country. Like all other countries this has its drawbacks. Just how much they will figure in the total of life here I can not yet say. But considering them in their conservative, aspects, I am persuaded that there is no place in North America presenting greater possibilities io the industrious man with a little money than does Alberta. Few countries ever settle up faster than this. A few families of Illinoisans passed our shack to the east. They came last weeR and reported that their train came In three sections, the first consisting of seventy-five cars, and the second and third of fifty cars each. These contained settlers and settlers' effects. I have met some Hoosiers and many from the prairie states. There is a public school with thirty pupils on my farm, which is maintained for

forty-four weeks in the year. Teachers are employed the year around at $45 a calendar month, or $540 a year. The tax -levy is $12 on a quarter section, $10 for school and $2 for state purposes. The requirements for a

teacher's license are one year's attendance at a Provincial Normal school

and a satisfactory examination. This opportunity is open to foreigners and natives alike.
