Fourth arn Crop Report From Dept. Of Agriculture

Crop conditions through the cen- tral part of the province have been considerably improved by rains during the past week, and in south- ern and northern sections there is sutisfactory promise of agcod crop, according to telegraphic reports re- ceived on Friday last by the De- partmedt of Agriculture for the fourth crop report cf the season.

The prolonged drouth during the latter part of May and,the first three weeks of June has consider- ably reduced the prospective yield over the area comprising the cen- tral part and in a few localities early sowa wheat has been pastur- ed or plowed down. Later sown cropa, however, on breaking or summerfallow have been able to weather the dry period, and as a result of the recent rains will give a fairly good yield.

The southern part of the province has received sufficient rainfall to promote continued growth. Anex- ceptionally good stand of fall wheat is reported and spring wheat and the coarse grains are coming along well. The first irrigation of the season has been completed and a start will be made with the cut- ting of the first crop of alfalfa dur- ing the coming week.

Slight injaries to crops and gar- dena is reported in a few localities as the result of frosts on June 19th and 24rd. With the exception of limited areas, insect injury has been very slight.

Pastures are making better grow- th and the feed situation has been considerably improved by the past week’s rains, and asa resu't dairy pro luction will showan increase in inany sections of the province.

The Peace River district in the mijority of localities continues to show promise of a satisfactory crop.

This holiday seeker movement is somethings more thaw a mere outing, in most cases, People from the line are taking advantage of the season to check upon the lurid des- viptions drawn by over zealous im- migration agents, Or it may be that they are desirous of measuring the degree of success attained by relative who emigrated te the Canadian west in bygene days.

Alberta is making appeals for new settlers, and new capital, these being fundamentals to its progress. It rea- lizes that the tourist is the advance »yarty, and much will depend on his report when he returns home.

Such being the case, Alberta resi- lents, including farmers, towns- people and others, have a special duty to make the tourists this year, The fact that a big movement is in sight makes it highly important that ray with abundant praises for this land of promise,

Highways

In the Three Prairie Provinces

Presents Difficult Problems

Before the end of 1929 there will! be between four and five thousand} miles of permanent highway in the! prairie provinces. The problems con-| nected with road building on the | prairies have not been few. In the) first place, the area to be served with] even the most ordinary roads, was| so immense. One of the first efforts of a community is to cut out a road}

connecting it with town and school and during the pioneering years there is little further work done.!

Possibly a few logs are laid across a! water hole and some dirt over. The technical name _ for this! sort of road is ‘corduroy’ the rea- | son is obvious and one’s sensibilities | are “touched” by the corduroy road, | whether manoeuvred by lumber wag: | on or motor car, !

But with the increase in cars, and the consequent increase in motor travel, there was an insistent | demand for better roads, roads that/ would be passable in all sorts of! weather. It costs time and money to! he held up for several days or weeks | waiting for the dry, so

sefore the days of highways, and when all under the jurisdiction of the munici- } pal councils, some municipulities with n forward disposition made better roads than others. Some cven put gravel on well graded and well drain | ed surfaces, and so and there} would be a short stretch of perma- nent road, But the next = munici- pality might have a council not inter- ested in permanent roads, or, if se, wanted a road that ran north ana south rather than one which went east and west connecting up with the road built by municipal “A.” So these odd bits of good road helped) not at all in the highway develop: | ment of the province. It had to be a provincial government undertaking and a provincial” plan, and an imipetus was given by the grant offer- | ed to the provinces some by the Dominion Government bused on the standard of road, So an} effort has been made to overcome the} difficulties of roadmaking in alluvial} wheat growing |

An hour later the Red Shadow re- ceived from his host the advice that the French girl was alone in the up- per chamber. He found this room to be a gorgeous apartment lighted by great oriental lamps that burned live coals and suffused a weird effect.| Margot was sitting on a low silk! couch. Her dusty riding habit haa been exchanged for a flimsy chiffon skirt that revealed every line of her alluring body. A narrow pearl bodice took the place of a waist and her} bare arms were braceleted with} broad bands of precious stones. She; was far more beautiful in eastern garb than the Red Shadow had ever; seen her before.

“Why did you bring me here?” was Margot’s first question when the! Red Shadow entered, She arose from | the couch and stood in a defiant atti-| tude. |

“Why?" he replied. “To teach you to love me — so fiercely that you could give up home and friends. | Call it a mad dream, but mad as it is I'm willing to risk my whole fu-7 ture to make it come true!”

“Leave love out of it.’’ she answer- ed, “I hate you! I love Paul!” |

But the Red Shadow knew better. With a final positiveness, he told her, “You—do—not —lovehim! Come to! me!" |

His persuasiveness haad not won) her, for she shrank from him. ‘Tell, me one good reason why you will

The Sheik motioned to them, “Be- lieve me, I wish to prove myself & friend of the French. You see my people are innocent. He .

Birabeau walked directly to the) masked leader of he Riffs.

“Azuri tells me that you've boast- |

ed that no man can beat you in sin-| gle combat. Well, I am going to; kill you or you will have to kill me!’

For the first time the Riffs saw the Red Shadow turn pale and shrintt| back from a challenge. Without ex- | planation he ignored the insult of the| Frenchman. Even Birabeau was} aghast with astonishment.

Ali Ben Ali, who knew the ruth- less code of the desert, warned the masked man. “What has come over} you, friend? Your own followers will} send you out in the wilderness to die! it you do not fight!" |

Margot ran between the two men. “Please don't, General!” she begged. | But the commandant pushed her} aside roughly. Then reaching in his} belt, he drew out his glove and, struck the Red Shadow in the face!

A dreary day passed for Margot

| She was back at the garrison in Fez

but she knew that the total happ!- ness of life had been left back there! Her dream | of romance was all but fulfilled and yet she herself had been the one to} reject it. Her desert love had told her what no other man had ever said

that he was willing to risk his! whole future to have her as his own. | The contempt with which she had | treated him now made her heart} ache, |

Although Ali Ben Ali had granted} General Birabeau, Bennie, Susan and| herself safe conduct back to Fez, she| had heard the dreadful fate that the| Riffs had meted out to the Red}

|’ Shadow. The law of their tribe had |

left them no choice. Their leader had | allowed an enemy to dishonor him} and there was the inevitable punish: | ment that Allah had ordained. The} disgraced one was sent out into the | desert alone, without food, without, water, with no weapon of defence but | his broken sword. And those men| who had been his loyal soldiers, | those men who had loved him as a| blood brother, stood watching silent: | ly until he had disappeared over the) crest of the farthest hill. Later) they would choose a new leader but now they turned their faces toward Mecca and prayed. j

For hours Margot had stared into | the hot sandy wastes. Not even Pierre was there to distract her with} his chatter, for the night the Red Shadow had kidnapped her he had | taken a boat for Tangiers. The thought of Pierre puzzled her, Al-|

She did not hear Captain Paul} Fontaine enter. He startled her when he sat on the arm of her chair} ahd tried to take her hand.

“Please, don’t, Paul,” she protest- ed wearily.

Fontaine's face flushed with jeal-} ousy. ‘I know why you're not hap- | py. It’s because the Red Shadow Is in danger. You've fallen-in love, with him.”

“Who? Which one of the soldiers?" | the commandant enquired |

Paul Fontaine hesitated. “None, of our soldiers. But the last man you! would ever suspect.”

The door opened and Pierre beau stood before them. Over arm was the cloak and the mask of the Red Shadow and his hand held the outlaw’s broken sword, Gradually

him close. Then another realization slowly possessed him, for he whisper- ed so that only Pierre could hear, “you were bravest when you refused to fight!"

That evening Pierre Birabeau was the acknowledged hero of the post. Margot alone failed to congratulate him. The General, bursting with pride, at the bravery of his own boy, urged him to tell the girl the details of his amazing exploit. As he left the room he saw Pierre put his arm) around Margot Bonvalet—and he had never dared that before!

Interestng Relics Found

Discovery Made At Old Settlement On Saskatchewan River

A discovery of great prehistoric interest has been made at Brosseau, | an old settlement on the north bank} of the Saskatchewan River, near Spedden, the discovery consisting of | a large, quantity of articles of war: |

A short time ago, as John Ames) was plowing on his farm at Bros:! seau, the sound of stecl against steel! attracted his attention. On investi. ! guting he discovered a barrel shaped! cavity filled with axes of many pat-! tomahawks, big hunting IKinives, table knives and forks, flints, | arrowheads, locks, keys, etc. |

The locks are of the type known! as stock locks, and these and the! keys are of enormous size compar-! ed with the modern kind. Many | theories are afloat as to the reason! for burying these articles in this re-| mote place. Many years, perhaps gencrations, must have elapsed since this miscellaneous collection of ar- | ticles were hidden away. That they were enclosed in a barrel is quite evident from the shape of the hole and from the fact that though the wooden staves have long since turn- ed into dust, some of the iron hoops, rusted and worn, still remain. A few theories in connection with this re- markable find are: That the articles were being conveyed to a Hudson

dent or disaster, the factor or men in charge of them had to cache them in this spot; or that they may have been taken from the post at Frog Lake, at the time of what is called the Massacre, by Indians, who fearing pursuit, buried them where they were found,
