Saskatchewan, Western Canada, Is

Called the Garden of Eden" by a
former Resident of Reed City, Mich.
In a letter to the Reed City, Mich,
Clarion, Mr.. Jas. G. Armstrong of Melt
ford, Saskatchewan, says, writing on
9th Of May, 1901:
''This is a fine country for a poor
man, as he can go out on the hay slews
and cut all the hay he needs. He turns
his cattle out on the prairie, and when
he is not using his horses, he turns
them out also. There is such an album
dance of food they never wander away.
ga lady, who has lived here eight
years, told me that this was the orig
inal Garden of Eden | certainly
would believe it, if we could only find
the apple trees. But as it is. We have
many varieties of fruit-stra wberries,
cranberries, saskatoOns, huckleberries,
red and black currants, deWberries,
plums, red and black cherries and req
raSpberries. All of these fruits grow
wild. Then the flowers that dot the
prairieS making them look like a real
garden. We have eaten of the wild red
currantS, and they are equal if not SUI
perior to those grown in Michigan. We
have sweet corn ~ inches high AS
the western farmers are all done seed
ing, branding cattle and sheep shearing

new potato, which measured 615 inches
when cut. This is no fairy tale, if we
are so much farther north than Reed
City. 1t is all facts. Come up and see.
This has been truly called the garden

lakes and streams, fish and fowl, beau

President Lincoln, in the first year
of the civil war, prophesied that. II the
secession movement could be promptly
suppressed, the United States would
have a population of 100, Z0S,00O in
1900.
He based this prediction on the per-
centage of increase in population from
1890 to 1860. The increase from 1890
to 1900 was a little over 35 per cent.
From 1900 to 1910, the increase was
1905 per cent. There was decline in
the ratio of increase in the next dec
ade. but in 1850 there was an increase
of 1851 per cent, and in 1860 an in
crease of 35.5S per cent. making an
average decennial increase of 34.61 per
cent in population for the seventy
years from 1890 to 1860.
Assuming that this ratio of increase
would be maintained. Mr.. Lincoln pre-
dicted that the United States would
have a population of 42,323 600 in 1870,
Sc .967 600 in 1880, 1851. 900 in 1890.
100. pos. 900 in 1900, 13S,91S.000 in 1910,
! 1876, 1884, 900 in 1920, and PSI, $4,000 in
1880
But the civil war came. and the per-
eentage of increase from 1860 to 1870
fell to 22.63 per cent. The percentage
of increase went up to so per cent in
1880, dropped to 24.S3 per cent in 1890,
and to 21.SS per cent for the decade
ending with 1900.
The population in 1870 failed to
reach Mr.. Lincoln's estimate by $780,
600. In 1880 the population was
SSH, 900 below the estimate, 14o55,o00
below in 1890, and 26,913,000 below in
1900. The ratio of increase for thela
decade was the lowest in ninety years.

The presence of free hydrogen in the

that, on account of the high velocity of
