His experience has been mostly confined to this part of railway activity and hag been a member of the C. P. R. staff for years and is probably one of the best known railwaymen in the west. On many occasions Mr. Kilpatrick has rendered signal service to the railway company and to individuals in the splendid work done in eonnec- tion with snowslides and accidents caused by avalanches. He is consid- ered to be a first-class snow man and one talented with a pecullar in- stinct in this respect.

After hav- ing done penance for more than thirty yeara by denying himself association with al humanity, discarding all clothing, White River Jim, at one time one of the most highly regarded braves of the, Colorado-Utah Utes, died near the White Rock Indian agency, twenty-firg miles west of the town of Vernal, Utah. The story of this reiman reveals 4 characte? beyond human understand- Ing, It shows to what ends a man s will may carry him the self inflict- fon of torture to both mind and: body that pisses conception, the terrible punishment meted out by his own hands, according to his own sense of proportion, jp expiation of his crime, the murder of one he loved. Many. stoties are told of the Ind- ian s thirty years' penance, but the futhorative one, as vouched for . by White River Jim s own brother, Proyo John, follows. It ates back to the time that the Utes occupied this por- tion af Colorado: , Favorite of Women, White River Jim was then a tal: strikingly good-looking young man fand a favorite with the young women of the tribe with one exception. Jim began to evince an interest in this Particular damsel. This regard was not returned, for the. young woman was infatuated with another of the braves. Jim tried unsuccessfully to Woo her, and pu sutd his attentions even after the trite had been re- moved to Utah. Finally; blinded by his passion, one night as the girl was sleeping he crept into hor fepee and The slayer tmmediately disappear- ed, and although hunted for several years, mo-trace could be found. The tragedy had almost been for- gotten when one morning, as'a smail party of Indians were on their way to the watering place near the agency; they discovered him, He was lying t Prostrate in.a pit.seyeral inches dep, in a small. clearing several hundred feet from the creek.

He display d no recognition. Finally one of the more intrepid of the Indians approached and essayed to speak to the outcast, but without Success. They placed a guard over the man, but as he showed no dispo- sition to escape this stirvelliance was withdrawn. This occurred more than thirty years ago. All during the years that Dassed White River Sim remained in Nis small pit. , He exchanged words with no-man, and touched the bones which the other braves brought him only after they had withdrawn from erazy and. actuated: by the supersti- tion that a crazy man i8 the devi incarnate, they studiously avoided him. On one occasion s veral of the braves placed him upon a horse, after) biindfolding him, and todk him to a Wild spot in the woods more than ie -from the camp. Their pur- pose was to lose him, but to their surprise they found White River Jiin at his old camp ahead of them,- The dead Indian was buried with all of. the pomp and eremony which 4s usually accorded the most distin: ished chtet CANADA'S GRIPS Ottawa, NoW2s A bulletin issued Fecently by the Census and Statistics quality and value of the root and fod- der crops of Canada during the past jed upon returns from ag- rieuitural correspond lite nt the end tatoes, turnips, mangolds, etc., hay and clover, alfalfa, fodder corn and sugar beets, amounting to ,732,000 Acres as compared with 9,160,000 last Year, the total value of the pro- ducts - -- 198,500,000, compared with 223,790,000, a decrease in value of 33,290,000.

HAVE DOUBIFUL SEED TESTED FOR VITALITY Climatie Conditions Have Been Adverse to Proper Maturity of Seed. Owing to the fact that climatic con- ditions have again been unfavorable In certain districts to the satisfactory maturity of seed grain, we wish to draw the attention of every farmer to the advisability of having his grain tested for germination. Oats are particularly subject to in- their growth are rendered worthless for seed purposes even though they. may. look perfectly plump and sound, outwardly. Others again, though un- doubtediy frozen, are not seriously affected in vitality. As germination test is the only indication of the grain s condition in such cases, we would strongly . advise having all doubtful oats: tested. :Flax is also subject. to Injury by. frost as well ag moisture, and its vitality may. be considerably lowered by these factors, Barley 1s affected jlikewise and often shows a low per- centage of growth when cut. after frost. Wheat; on the other. usually. germinate feadily even when frozen: quite severely. It may, -how- ever, be rendered unfit for seed by frost or through ex essive moisture. Timothy cut after frost should be We-would suggest having tested any other cereal fodder seetls that may be suspected of not being up to the'full stendard of germ- nation. * .
