The "Star of Empre'' Is Following the Sun in
 Our Northern Neighbor

TTOW short time it has been TT since we ceased to look upon
 western Canada, and especially that great stretch of territory lying between Winnipeg and the Rocky mountains, as anything more than great waste, valuable only to the trapper and hunter. Why, it has been but a short 15 years since trains began running from the east to the Pacific coast at Vancouver, and when those trains began running herds of buffalo, deer and other game native of the northwest were common sights to the traveller as he was whirled westward iron. the little city of Win nipeg.
 To-day western Canada is a coun- try of substantial homes, of profit able farms, of growing cities and vil- lages. It is q transformatlon worked practically in ten years time.
 During the process of transforma- tion the people of the United States heard but little of what was going on across our northern border. True, travellers and correspondents have for several years talked and written of the bountiful harvests of Manitoba, of the wholesale methods employed in harvesting and threshing the grain, but of the country west and north of Winnipeg we have heard practically nothing until recently, when there began to pour in upon us statements of wonderful development and figures of such remarkable size ss to fairly take our breath away. Eron, E1rnnntnr prinoa A1harf and other places that we have been in the habit of considering but mere trad ing posts of the Hudson Bay com pany, come stories of wonderful harvests and cattle raising industries of great proportions.
 While the development of this ter ritory has been rapid, it has fol- lowed much the same course as that with which we are familiar in the development of our own western

A FEW CENSUS FACTS.

On the average Nevada has in- habitaEts to every square mile.
 There is town in Alabama by the name of Reform. It has a population of 19s.
 It. would take tho population of Nc vada nearly 172 times over to equal the popula ton of New York state.
 There is in Arizona about one person for every square mile of area. In 1890 there was one person for every two square miles.
 There is at least one state and one territory in the union which had only county organizations at one time. Arkansas is the state, and Arizona is the territory.
 Kansas as a whole has had per cent. increase in population since 1890, but over half the counties of the state have returned decreases. There are 356 incorporated cities in Kansas. Of these 5 have more than 5000 inhabitants.

states. Military necessities practi- cally compelled the building of the railroads; prospectors for valua ble metals followed the railway and branched out from it to territory further north; settlers followed the prospectors and built log homes and found a market for the products of their clearing among the prospectors; branch lines of railway followed the settlers and opened up to them fla cilities for selling their products in the markets of the world; the log cabins gave place to substantial homes; the small clearings of the settlers gave place to broad acres of cultivated ground; villages and cities sprang up to supply the necessities and luxuries of life to the agricul- tural communities, and the develop ment was complete, all accomplished in less than a score of years.
 And here are some of the figures that cause us to stop and wonder at the developments: It is estimated that about 2,5OO,OO0 bushels of grain were produced in the Edmonton dis trict, Alberta province, last year. This estimate is based on the sale of binder twine, about 3% pounds of which is required for every acre of grain. The yield per acre has been estimated as follows: Wheat, 15 bushels; oats and barley, 40 bushels.
 According to sta tements there were no less than 39O binders sold last year in Edmonton and Strathcona. The record of implement sales includes ee threshing machines, and the districts consumed 26o,ooo pounds of twine.
 These figures indicate the remark able progress of northern Alberta. The growth, itis said, is by no means confined to the district about Edmon- ton, for the development of trade at many points along the Calgary & Edmonton railway shows that the surrounding agricultural country is rapidly filling up. The progress of settlement and the successful devel- opnent of agriculture combine to transform the hamlets of few years ago into thriving centers of trade.
 Other provinces of the northwest territories are just as prosperous as Alberta, and it is said that agricul- ture in the northern districts has kept pace with the extension of ranching in the center and south. It is asserted that every part of the. ter ritory has been benefited by the con- struction of the Crows Nest Pass railway and by the general reduction

REPTILES IN TEXAS.
Rattlers Are Still Numerous in tho
 iN1l Lone Star State./
one with Four Poison Fangs Recently Found Near San Antonio-DeafA Does Not Alvays Result
 from Their Elite.

EattleSnakeS are not as numerous fin Texas as they were years ago, says a writer in Leslie's Weekly, and yet they are sufficiently 'in evidence" at this day in various parts of the Lone Star state to add a considerable spice of danger to travelling by foot on the plains and river bottoms. It is said that the heavy rains of recent years have apparently led to an increase in the numbers of these serpents, es- pecially in eastern Texas. The fact that the rattlesnake has a market value is doubtless one reason why the tribe has declined somewhat. Thou sands of them are killed every year for their skins and oil. One firm in San Antonio sold over 2,oOo rattle snakes last year. They are bought either dead or alive.
 The head of the rattler shown in the illustration was taken near San An tonic by Dr. Rudolph Menger. prom inent physician of that city. This snake had four poison fangs and was considered a rare specimen.
 Apropos of this subject of rattle snakes, the remarkable statement 1ntN Dt recently OS Il AoA' Ednnlnd J. James, of the University of Chicago, to the effect that death from rattlesnake bite is a great rarity. He has been working for 20 years, he says, to obtain well-authenticated case of death from such a cause. Many stories of people dying from rattlesnake poison had been found, upon investigation, to be without foun- dation. One genuine case discovered recently in Georgia was considered by Prof. James sufficiently remarkable to warrant him in obtaining sworn affi- daVit to the fact from the attending physician. The case was that of a man, a snake charmer," who was bitten by 8 large rattlesnake of the variety

of transportation rates to the Koo-
 tenai and other mining districts in southern British Columbia.
 An immense mineral producing re-
 zion employing a great and growing force of workers must obtain its food
 supplies from outside sources, and
 railway enterprise has brought the farmers and ranchmen of Alberta
 within reach of this steady and grow ing market.
 In earlier days it was not an un-
 common experience for farmers to take their butter, eggs and poultry to Edmonton and carry them away again without finding purchasers. There is now good market for every
 suitable line of produce, and the con- sequent prosperity is reflected in the increase in settlement, the larger
 amount of goods bought per capita, ] and in the demand to-day for articles which in earlier times were looked l upon as unattainable luxuries. But the prosperity and rapid devel- opment of western Canada. comes not alone from its cereals and its miner- als. But a few years ago it was con- l sidered impossible to raise cattle in this territory because of the severity
 of the climate, but experience has proven the fallacy of this assertion
 so often repeated. To-day great l herds of cattle dot the plains of the
 provinces of Alberta, Assiniboia, Man.
 itoba and Saskatchewan, and cattle
 raising, like other agricultural indus- tries, is growing rapidly.
 According to reports for the year 1 1900, the exports from Manitoba and the territories of beef cattle alone
 amounted to 47,o0O head. an increase
 of 15 ,OO0 head over 1899. The increase
 in shipments of beef cattle alone in l 1900 has been mostly in range anil
 mals, the shipments of domestic cat-
 tie being only few thousand in ex-
 cess of the year 1899.
 The, trade in stocker cattle is not quite as heavy as last year. It is es-

The area of Venezuela is larger than all Europe, leaving out Russia.
 Some, time ago German post offices were established in the cities of Smyrna. Beyroot and Jerusalem. in Asiatic Turkey.
 Among the queer episodes in this years unusually severe winter in southern countries was 8 foot deep fall of snow at Jerusalem in January.
 The savings banks of Australasia, as between 1871 and 1898, showed in- creases in the number of depositors of ss1 per cent, and in the amount of de- Posits of 766 per cent.
 The British colonies comprising Aus tralasia possess between them the im- mense area of 3,000,OOO square miles, nearly as large as that of British North America, and more than three times as large as that of British India.

timated that about 25O00 head of Stocker cattle have been sent from Manitoba and the eastern districts of the territories to the western range. About 5000 head of stocker cattle have also been shipped to the United States, decrease of 10000 head over the previous year.
 Shipping to England began last year in July, and during that month 10000 head were sent across, while during the two following months the shipments totaled 2O,OoO head. The price per head ran from $35 to $45 for fat cattle, the weight of steers averaging 1,sOo pounds. In addition to these shipments, 5O,oOo head of beef cattle were sent from Alberta into the mining districts of British Columbia and the Yukon. This trade, it is stated, is in a measure controlled by MT. P. Burns, who has a abattoirs at Calgary with accommodations for 2,O0O head of cattle, 1000 hogs and 25,OOO sheep.
 During the past year, there were taken into Alberta about T., ,OOO stock CTS from Manitoba and Ontario. This runs the total number of cattle that have wintered in the province up to 100000 head.
 Of this vast productive territory Winnipeg is the metropolis. What score of years ago was but little trading post of 215 people, and later a growing hamlet-a railway neces- sity, is to-day cosmopolitan city of some 30,OoO people. From its fac tories and wholesale houses the ne- cessities and luxuries of life are car ried to the farmers, ranchers and miners of the west and north, and to it's worldwide markets are brought the products of 279,OOO square miles of agricultural territory. Railways and steamers on the Red river and al- most countless accessible navigable lakes carry in and out of the city a constantly increasing trade, while it's depots and hotels are described as "a i meeting place for all the world" be- cause here one finds visitors from every land and every cline, speaking all languages.
 Where few years ago western Canada played no part in the worlds commerce, to-day economists give it a prominent place in figuring the worlds production of food stuffs.

known in the south as the diamond rattler." The man died from paral- ysis of the heart, caused by the bite, after lingering in great agony for Is hours.
 Referring to Pof. James statement, Dr. Menger says that his own expe- rienee and that of many of his profes- sional associates in Texas indicate that death from rattlesnake bite is not so rare a thing as the Chicago pro- lessor would have the world believe.
 "RatIlesnakes," says Dr. Menger, ~are not in all instances deadly, de- pending upon the parts injured, the amount Of poison injected, susceptibil- ity, etc. Often the snakes tooth hreaks of in striking, or it penetrates thick clothing, the boot or shoe, etc, before the fang reaches the flesh, and in these cases only painful and super ficial wounds are inflicted, with, per haps, only slight symptoms of the poi son. When, though, the poison fang strikes a vital part. especially blood vessels, the poisoning symptoms are at once alarming, and in most of these instances death generally occurs. GIiSnL OuTlnR the SuOCen meetlnS or . rattlesnake, with a bloed-curdling hiss of its rattles, and the consequent shock upon the nervous system, espe- ciauy the heart centers, undoubtedly has also produced sudden death."
 Dr. Menger adds that during his own experience as city health officer of San Antonio, and in his own private practice, he had known of no less than six deaths from rattlesnake poison. In one instance -a farmer at Medina, some 25 miles west of San Antonio, in blowing his field came across rat tier, his blow, which severed the snake in two parts, leaving only about six inches of tho ereature's neck and head. The farmer thought the snake dead, and went on blowing. In turning back from the opposite end to the place where the blow had run over the rep tile he noticed something like . stick or branch of tree among the weeds, and, in the act of picking it up, he un- fortunately seized the severed snakes neck. With g sudden strike the rat tier plunged it's fangs into the farmers hand. and before five hours passed ths man was ae4a.
