ANOTHER SCHEME.
A Boulevard to Crystal Luke Now
Talked OF.

There is possibility that there will
be boulevard built between this city
and Crystal Lake some time In the
near future. Whether the possibility
will be realized 1t is impossible to de-
termine yet, but when several Of our
prominent men seem to be interested in
the matter and wish to see the scheme
through. 1t looks as If 1t might go.
The boulevard would be one Of the
best things that could be built to bene-
fit Carbondale. We have no over-abun-
dance Of good roads in this city, but
there are many people who love to
drive, so that If the proposed improve
ment is made 1t will be very popular.

A Curious Migration.

A writer in the New England Maga-
zine presents the results of his per-
sonal investigation of curious mlgra-
tion that has been going on for few
years past from the Northwestern
portion of the United States to Mani
toba, Assiniboia, Alberta and other
portions of British Columbia lying
north of the Dakotas and Montana.
According to S. A. Thompson, the
writer of the article, a steady stream
of emigration from the Northwestern
portions of the United States to tie
wheat-growing regions of British Co.
lumbia mentioned has been noticeable
for some time. In one place in AL
berta he found a settlement containing
o population of about one thousand,
of whom seven hundred were from the
United States. He discovered that
the Canadian Pacific Railroad Com
pany was selling land in small tracts
to hundreds of American families, and
he found record of no less than 513
homestead entries made by settlers
from the United States, representing
1862 persons.
Mr.. Thompson was curious to dis
cover the motives which led these
American farmers to leave their own
country. Many individual reasons
were given, but the main cause, as
Mr.. Thompson says, is to be found in
the fact that the desirable public lands
have been exhausted by entries or
gobbled up by the great railroad mo-
nopolIsts in the United States. In
British Columbia there is almost an
inexhaustible supply of farming land
suitable for stock raising and grain
culture, to be had on terms quite as
favorable as those extended to Ameri-
can settlers IN their own country.
Mr.. Thompson suggests as a remedy
for this emigration the reclamation of
the vast arid region of the United
States by irrigation. This would open
up an immense region for settlement
and in climate more moderate than
that of the Far North. San Francisco
Chronicle.

Welded Eighty Years.

Marriage does not seem to be fail
ure in Black Falls, Wis, in one fam
lily at least. 1t has had fair trial,
too, for Louis and Amelia Darwin
were married eighty years ago. And
now, although the husband sis 107
years old and the wife 101, they are
living happily together. Twelve
children have been born to them, five
of whom are living.
For thirty years Grandma Darwin
was Totally blind. Strange and in
credible as it may seem, in her ninety.
ninth year she recovered her second
sight, and was able to distinguish her
children. Yet during the period of
her blindness she performed her
household duties without any assist
ance.
The old gentleman has been re-
markable man. When he was 100
years old he could dance a jig equal to
a dancing master, but the past four
years he has gradually wasted away,
until to-day he is but a shadow of his
former self. The aged couple are
descendants from a race which, for
many generations, was noted for re.
markable longevity. New York Press,
