da, Western Canada, before taking up
their home there visited the coun-
try as delegates. They reported 10
the Government of the Dominion of
Canada the result OF their observations,
and from this report extracts have
been taken, which are published below:
We have visited number OF most
desirable locations, and are highly
pleased with the country as a whole,
1T being beyond our highest expecta-
tons. We find here prosperous and
well-contented lot of people. They
have comfortable homes, and their vast
helds OF wheat and other crops in addi-
ton to their herds of choice cattle in
dlcate prosperity in the full sense of
the word. In conversation with the
farmers throughout our trip we learned
that the majority of them came here
with very limited means, and some
with no more than enough to
bring them here, and they are now
well-to-do- They all claim that this is
the only country for a poor man, or
one with little means, to get a start
and make home for himself and fam
lily. AS you are aware, We were
little shaky and undecided before leav-
ing Detroit, but have determined since
that we, with our friends, will make
Iris country our future home. 1t is
Tar from being the wilderness we had
pictured it to be; it is, instead, a land
having all the facilities required by
modern civilization, such as railroads,
markets, stores, churches, schools, etc,
in fact, an ideal home for those having
the future welfare OF themselves and
families at heart
The Messrs. Striovski selected the
Alameda district, but what they say
or 1t applies in general way to most
other districts in that vast country.
They speak of the fuel, which is to be
had in great quantities. of the water
that can be had by digging from 10 to
20 feet, and OF the good grazing land
to be had almost everywhere. There is
plenty OF wood for building timber and
for fuel, while coal is convenient, and
sells at low prices at the mines. J.l
driving through the country they
passed may fine patches of wild rasp-
berries, and say they can speak highly
OF their flavor as they could not resist
the temptation to stop and eat.
Having already transgressed on your
valuable space. | shall defer further
reference TO Western Canada for an
other issue. An illustrated pamphlet
recently issued by the Department of
the Interior, ottawa. Canada, giving
complete description OF the country,
will be forwarded free to all who write
for it. Yours,

poiNos OF CONGRESS.
A Paragraphic Chronicle of the Acts OF
the Nations Lawmakers.


The Notifications bill as reported to
the House provides for the extensive
system of seacoast defenses now in
course of completion. 1t carries
81, ,0l2, as against estimates made
by the war department of Sl3,37s,571.
Congressman VIM. Alden Smith, of
Michigan, says that Senator Hanna has
agreed to help him secure modifica-
ton of the treaty of 1917, so that war
ships could be built on the lakes. He
also says that he has received encour-
agement from the administration, Sec
rotary of the Navy Long being particu-
larly enthusiastic over the idea.
The Hawaiian annexation treaty was
the subject of four hours speech by
Senator Teller. He said he would have
been glad To have the debate in open
rather than in executive session, and
added that il was his opinion that the
time had come when the question of an
nexation should be debated upon "A bill
looking to legislation by both houses
of congress rather than upon the basis
of the treaty. In speaking of the re-
suits of annexation Mr. Teller said that
he did not believe that it would neces-
state big fleet for the protection of
Hawaii as the strong fortiication of
Pearl harbor would be sufficient.

"There's nothing succeeds like success. .
There is no outstanding the living a gu-
ment OF the man who should be dead, who

a preserving medicine. That's about the
way IL seemed TO strike Editor Lawrence,

In this condition he met a friend a con

meuded DIR. ]. c. Ayers Cherry Pectoral

had helped him wonderfully" 1t helped
the editor just as wonderfully, giving
almost instant relief" But read his
letter:
about two months ago, I was afflicted
with bad cold, and, meeting a friend, he
advised the use Of Ayers Cherry Pectoral
which, he claimed, had helped him won
derfully. As he was consumptive, whom
had not expected to see alive for several
years, concluded there must be merit in
this preparation. l accordingly bought a
