The Philadelphia Ledger has this
story in which Senator Quay and a
shrewd Adirondack native figure: Sen
ator Quay went to the Adirondacks a
few weeks ago to prepare for the return
home OF his family. He rode up the
mountain in coach that was distress
ingly tardy, and which was following
after another that. If possible, was
even slower. He chafed for a time at
the pace. and then hit upon a plan he
thought would serve to speed both
teams. He leaned over to the driver
and offered adollar If the latter would
get ahead of the team in front. The
driver smilingly agreed and then raised
his voice to say: Hey. say. "Bill"!
Bill! turn yer rig to the side Of the
road, will yer? There's a guy here says
he'll give me a dollar If pass We, and
I'll divide if you make room!'"

PUBLIC SPIRIT.
A Local Citizen Thinks II Ought
to be Aroused.

To the Editor of the Democrat:
1t appears that another year Is to
go by with no effort to interest Akron
people generally in the observation of
Memorial and Independence days.
There Is stronger popular demand
than ever for local celebration upon
at least one of these days in which
the people may be made to feel that
they have II special invitation to take
part, but in the exclusive and ever
narrowing circle which hitherto has
controlled in the matter there has
seemed to be'no disposition to recog-
nize the interest of the people.
AS usual, therefore this years holi-
days will find Akron people chiefly
out of town, pleasure-seeking. or
guests of cities which provide them
welcome of n more positive quality
than their own-anywhere, instead of
at home uniting in a right manifest
OF patriotism.
The public spirit is here, but it must
be marshnlled and aroused. An in
different and perfunctory effort Is
next to none at ALL

RUSH OF SETTLERS
WINNIPEG MAN SAYS CANADA IS
OVERRUN WITH LAND
SEEKERS
LARGEST SALES EVER KNOWN
Enormous Wheat Crop of Last Year
Has Opened Eyes of People TO
Great Possibilities of
Western Canada.

According to the statement of R. B.
Howard, Of Winnipeg, that city and the
vicinity is at present overrun with set
tiers and homes eekers
THE hotels and boarding houses at
Winnipeg" said Mr.. Howard, ARE turn
ing away people every day, and nearly
every train brings in more The land
men are busy all the time, driving out
into the country showing land, and the
record of sales is the largest in the his
tory of the territory.
'Of course the general influx to the
West and Northwest is responsible in
part for these conditions in Canada, but
the fact that last fall the wheat crop
was something enormous has, | think
a great deal to do with the present rush.
The people of the East are beginning to
see the pOss Utilities Of Western Canada
as farming country, and are taking
advantage of it.
THE good land is going fast, and it is
going in large pieces to fairly well-to-do
people who will be able to run the farms
after they have once settled. OF course
there will be hundreds who will not set
tie, but l, and men in the land business
up there, are sure that this will be the
banner year for Western Canada in the
matter of settlers"
Mr. Howards statements simply lelr
out the reports of the railroad companies
and the local land men. The rush ap-
pears to be a steady one, and the class
OF settlers is far above the average.
