aDEAlrNG WITH CRIMES I'm CAN \

(Frofaa the Chicago Times Herald, on
Jan 18th, 1901 -Tr F
THE citizens OF the Dominion OF Can
ada have just cause to be proud OF
their record as law abiding people. The
annual report of the criminal statistics
Of the Dominion, which has q popula-
I ton Of over 100000. shows that there
were only twenty Ave indictments Tor
murder In 1899, Of which only TWO were
left without final action. Eleven 9oI
those indicted were hanged nine ac-
quilted and three confined as insane.
Canada is country OF vast proper
tions. Its people are scattered over q
wide stretch Of territory, making po-
lice surveillance particularly difficult
and in many districts impossible. Yet
city like New York or Chicago alone
furnishes a far greater criminal list
. every year than the whole vast stretch
Of territory from Quebec to Vancouver.
The Canadians ascr.be their mmuni-
ty from crime to the promptness with
which punishment is meted out to Of
Tenders. When man is caught red
handed In the act Of robbing another he
is not released on straw bail by some
justice OF the peace from the slums, to
/
and sure justice is melted out to GRIM
inals OF all kinds, the result being that
when the guardians of the public peace
succeed in bringing thug to the bar
they are seldom called upon to hunt
him second time.
Furthermore, there are few court de-
lays In Canada when a criminal is
brought to book. They have no Dreyer
E-slU nSya a "a mr. h.
DDS whereby Canadian criminals can
have the proceedings stayed from
month to month and from year to year.
OF, after being convicted, appeal from
one court to another until witnesses die
Of old age or opportunities for corrup-
ton can be found.
Nor does this swift method OF treat
ing with wrong doors In Canada leave
the innocent unable to properly defend
themselves They have all the oppor-3
tunities and privileges that our own
laws extend to them. The extent to
shield the guilty Is lacking that is all.
The above. taken from the editorial
column of the Times Herald. gives some
idea Of the Immunity from crime that
exists In Canada, and this Is one Of the
many inducements held out for Ameri-
cans to settle in the district known as
Western Canada. The season OF 1901
will see few new sections OF the coun-
| try opened UP for settlement They are
attractive in every respect. 1t Is un-
derstood that one or the best Indian
| Reserves In the famous Valley Of the
| saskatchewan will be opened up this
year, and an invitation is extended to
those desiring homes to make inauir-
| les. The price Of the land Is said to be
| nominal. Besides these lands, the sew
eral railway companies have lands to
SELL also the government. For partic-
ulars write to the agent of the govern
ment, whose advertisement appears

others written when he was u and IT

That the people Of Morrow county are

from the fact that every day large loads

build new houses and improve old ones,
and the haul from the mills is long

capitalists will build little homo rail-
way up Willow creek to the timber, and
the fuel and lumber will be brought
down quickly and cheaply, and the long
waEon-haul will be abolished. Home
Industry will be patronized, aud many
men will have profitable employment
IN Morrow county's timber, where they
can do well, cutting cordwo Cd and sell.
ing 1t on the spot at 81 25 cord.
And these people, as well as many
mill men, will buy their supplies in
