that Edward r Remington believes
that his brother Robert Remington, was
murdered in this city, was read with in
creGulity here tonight here tonight.
Chief of Police Richards, when inter-
viewed by IN Associated Press, repre-
sentative. said it was aosolutcly impos-
sible that Mr.. Remington could have

investigated the affair soon after it hap

there might be any possibility of muir
der having been committed and there
could be no CUB that the man came

examined the revolver with which the

was an old French revolver n hat it

SPEECH By L


Albion, ". Y, August 2L.-Former
Governor David B. Hill spoke to a
crowd of 1000 PERSONS at the Orleans
county pioneer picnic az Oak Orchard
today. The speech was a general one,
Mr.. Hill saying he thought it poor taste
to inject politics at such a time. Ad-
dressing himself TO farmers. he refer
red TO their courage and sturdy indie
pendence in admiring terms and said
the farmers had invoked the admiration
Of the world.
Il wish to God said he, that the
Dutch farmers had won" The speaker
thought that farmers as a rule tried
to work too much land and he told of
a man who gave three daughters $50
of his 200 acres and then did as we'll
with the remaining fifty by improved
culture. He made a distinction be-
tween a farmer and an agriculturist,
saying the farmer worked a farm for
income, while the agricultuIist, spent
his income to Won Ills farm. Il am
an agriculturist," he said.
Continuing, Mr.. Hill declared himself
in favor of holidays, especially when
g. Po( ~ lOll anu GOlI1e To-
gether for recreation. He said he found
nothing in the Bible in regard to ac-
cummulation of corporate wealth, and
believed that the only right means of
accumulation was by personal en-
deavor. Posterlty yves much to the
pioneers who have been leaders of all
walks and conditions of life, he said.
He vas not in sympathy with the de-
mand for cheap things; nothing should
be so cheap as to deny proper remun-
GRAFTON to the lator which produces it.
He respects public opinion when it was
right, but held it in contempt when
wrong. Women, he said, can do some
things better than men. which is re-
garded as 4 great admission for an old
bachelor. Speaking to young men,, he
declared hat trree most valuable
traits were sincerity. frankness and
prudence. Do not rely for success on
influence, but rely on yourself and your
own ability and go it alone, was the
speakers advice. Instead Of looking
TO the state for everything, every man
must realize that he is the architect of
his own fortune.
Bird s. Color, who accompanied Mr..
Hill, spoke briefly.

Extent of the American Emigration
to Manitoba and the Northwest
Territories-Good Citizens and
Experienced Farmers With
Money, Whose Enterprise is
Needed and Welcome.

The extent of the immigration into
Manitoba and the North west Territor-
les from the United States It's bearing
upon international questions, both corl1-
mercial and political, are points very
little understood in the East. T@elve
years ago, in his problems OF Greater
Britain, Sir Charles Dixie, wrote: "A
country of the rich resources OF Mani
toba and the Territories must soon at
tract a sufficient, population, nov that
the railway communication from ocean
to ocean has been made through It,
and it is probable that these fertile
lands will become the wealth-center OF
the Dominion and communicate to the
whole of it a new prosperity. The
latter part Of this prophecy has already
been fulfilled, but even SO close an Oh
server as Sir Charles did not foresee.
that great proportion of the new pop
ulation would come from the wheat
growing States at the south, and that
these immigrants, through their settle

solution of some of the very difficulties
that he was then considering,
Figures of American immigration.
In point Of desirability, if not indeed
in actual numbers, the United States
immigrants into the Canadian West are
now by far the most important class
For the year ending June 80, 1902, the
immigration Office records 1850 per
sons from the United States, who took
up hornesteads in Manitoba and the
Northwer Territories, while for the
preceding year the numbers from the
same source were 5Io7. To represent
the actual number of American settlers
on Government lands, it will be neces-
asry to take at least four times these

figures, for it must be remembered that
only heads of families may take up

number OF incomers from the United

the Dominion Government has no lands

immigrants. Many buy from the Hud-
sons Bay Company, which still retains
one twentieth of all its original territory
when it gave up the government of the
country 10 the Crown. An official of
the company tod the writer that not
day has passed this summer when there
have been fewer than halfa dozen Unit
ed States customers in its offices buying
land. The influence of these American
buyers upon the price of G. P. 4. lands
is shown in comparison of the maps
of the railway for the last three years.
In 1900, lands along the railway line
were marked S. an acre. in 1901 the
price was raised to S. and So, according
to location; the map of 1902 shows very
few obtainable lots close to the line,
while the nearest ones are valued at W
and IS, and buyers are warned that
prices are subject to change without
notice. Of those who buy their farms
and ranches from private individuals
and from the various land companies it
is almost. impossible to secure any in
formation that will be definite, as well
as comprehensive. Even less obtain
able are the records Of those who have
moved from Dakota and Minnesota to
Canadian farms within driving distance
of the border. Many have followed
the Sault Line from St. Paul, and on it
between Portal and Moosejaw there are
already settled no fewer than 5000
Americans.
Some idea of the interest that Wes-
tern Americans are taking in Western
Canada may be gathered from an ms
pection of the hotel registers in Winn
ipeg for a few days. One mornings
showed that about 40 per cent. of the
visitors in the city are from various
points in the United States; and when
it is rememberfd that the Prairie City's
floating population averages 5000 per
month, the importance of this percen-
tage will be readily understood.
