She continued her preparations, and

WESTERN CANADA PRAIRrEs.
Future Welfare of the Continent Lies in
Their Fertile Fields,

=
Their Fertile Fields.
The rapid progress that is being
made in the settlement of the fertile
prairies of Western Canada is leading
to the investigation of it's resources by
those interested in having provision
made for those living in the crowded
east, for those who have been strug-
Cling for years on impoverished farms,
Tor the renter who is unable any longer
to bear up under the strain imposed by
the landlord, and for the farmer who,
unable to purchase farms for his sons
IN his own neighborhood, has to look
around for lower priced lands. The
investigation shows that it is impos-
slble to meet these conditions success
fully outside of Western Canada. AL
ready millions of bushels of wheat are
being grown there each year, while as
many as $4,000 head of cattle were
shipped out this year. A representa-
tive Of The Germania, Milwaukee, one
or the leading German papers in the
United States, recently made a trip
through Manitoba, AssinibOia, Alberta
and Saskatchewan, where lie the free
government lands of Western Canada,
and in future issue will appear ex-
tracts from fattering letters contribut-
ed to the Germania and other papers
by their special correspondents. AS
an inducement for immigrants to make
their homes in Canada, the Canadian
government offers $50 acres Of land
free of cost to any settler.

CALIFORNIA INDIGNANT.
n l. Alleged That the state Was f.rdy
In Responding tn the Call.

San Francisco. July 22.-The state mil
itary authorities are Indignant over the
statement reported TO have been made
in Washington hat California has been
tardy in responding To the second can
for volunteers. The facts are directly
10 the contrary, and the state has been
praised by the president for its splendid
shaving. In a statement made last
night 10 the associated press, Adjutan
General Barrett says:
1T will be seen that California was
called upon to furnish as her second
quota ESQ enlisted men and officers. Her
first call consisted OF about 3.S2' en-
listed men and officers, making a toidi
OF about 5.653 men that have been fuf-
nished by this state to the war depart
ment. There has been furnished about
100 officers and men from the naNal
militia for the United States navy. We
have furnished about 20 men ana three
officers TO the signal service. In addl-
ton II Is estimated that about 2.OVo re-
cruits have been furnished TO regiments
in other states and the regular army
which have -rendezvoused near and
around San Francisco. All of this she
has done cheerfuIly and promptly and
stands ready TO furnish the government
several additional regiments.'
