100000 Likely TO Go Into
Western Canada This Year.
LARGE LAND PURCHASES.
One Syndicate Has Bought a Million. Acre
Block Establishment OF Industry VIII
SPEEDILY Follow Influx.

Ottawa, May 26.--Canada Is gradually
awakening TO the true significance in
yolved in the present phenomenal inva-
sion of the Canadian Northwest by
American farmers and business men.
This great movement presages the dawn
OF a vast trade. and important changes
are about TO take place in the Industrial
life OF the Dominion.
The reason of the coming changes is
that the actual development of the Cana
dian West has at last begun in earnest,
and on a truly gigantic scale. So far
Canadians have been lacking in the
knowledge and development of the vast
resources of their country. but their
American cousins have soon grasped the
situation and are now coming in by
thousands, with capital and superior
spirit of enterprise TO exploit the rich
possibilities which await them.
Mr.. L. y. Walker, general manager OF
the Canadian Bank of Commerce, says
that Canada Is on the eve OF a great
boom. He declares that the Americans see
what is coming and are going into the
northwest by tens of thousands. Their
land agents are everywhere. buying land
wholesale for individuals and companies.
Mr. f. A. Kenaston, OF ST. Paul, Mimi.
who is here 10 take over the John Abell
Agricultural works. which have been
brought out by the Minnesota Threshing
company, says that fully 100000 Ameri-
cans will go into the Canadian north
west this year.
American companies are buying land by
hundreds OF thousands OF acres. one syn
dicate alone, having just acquired block
OF Canadian territory comprising over l.
0O0, 900 acres of land. Mr.. Kenaston fur
ther says;
Il look to see such a stampede OF
American farmers into the Canadian
west as will almost take your breath
away. II will be a movement on an inn
mense scale, urged by the strongest
economic reasons, that is, farmers can
sell land in Iowa. Kansas, Indiana, la
kota, Minnesota and Nebraska at from
$25 10 $50 an acre, and can buy land that
will produce better and more abundant
crops in the Canadian northwest for SIS
an acre
Manufacturers In eastern Canada are
being called upon TO arouse themselves
to the emergency. An enormous trade
is coming. but there promises TO be a
big fight for IL. Industries controlled by
vast amounts of American capital will
spring up on every had, and. as the
armies Of immigrants coming into this
country are American the incoming man
ufacturers will naturally best under
stand their needs and will make a big
and probably successful fight against
Canadian manufacturers TO hold the busi-
ness f
Winnipeg in a very short time. IL is
claimed, will be the st. Petersburg Of
North America. and many towns scat
tered throughout the northwest will sud
denly become thriving cities.
What effect the incoming armies OF
Americans will have. politically. is hard
to foretell A good many Canadians
take n pessimistic view OF the situation.
and are predicting that this American
invasion will naturally lead to an an
nexatlon movement.

Discipline Among Ants.

The region of the Amazon is overrun
by an interesting species Of ants known
as saubus. They are represented as the
curse OF the country because of their
social and military organization declares
a writer i'm Youths Companion. Some
observations upon the discipline main
tanned by them are made by {. Bar
rington Brown. 1--WE were greatly anus
ed by a singular struggle going on be-
tween a soldier ant and his working
fellows at the mouth OF the underground
nest Some eight or ten OF the workers
clung on to his legs and antennae and
tried to drag him back as he endeav-
ored TO come out of the hole.
Although he was furnished with hugo
mandibles, he did not lose his temper
nor try to bite them, and IL was evident
that, although they detained him by
force. they never nlpped him hard. Dur
ing the struggle they allowed two or
three other soldiers TO saunter out past
them and go roaming by themselves.
lit appeared as II this particular individual
had behaved badly. was under arrest,
and was now being prevented from
breaking barracks. The end of the strug-
gle was not witnessed by us, and II Will
never be known who gained the day,
but from all appearances 1t went against
the soldier"

Two hundred miles of the Chicago
Great Western railway track are TO be
laid this summer with thirty-three foot
rails. rolled to the present heavy traffic
standard. say the New York Herald. They
are to be put down as an experiment
to show whether long rails cannot ~
used as advantageousiy as those ot
thirty foot length, adopted as standard IN
the United States. Each mile OF track
laid with the thirty three foot rails VIII
represent a saving of 10 per cent in rail
joints. or $35 a mile where the usual Joints
are used, and $3.50 where the standard
forms of patent joints are laid.

"The problem of expansion. which will

Gleason, rs years DID, the town Of Quina-

Several days ago DR.. A. M. Tyler. OF

to see Gleason who was i'm an advanced
stage of consumption and suffering great
pain.
AS DR. Tyler entered the sick room he
was surprised to see that the mans body
was swollen TO almost twice its normal
size. Gleason could hardly see and he
had great difficulty in breathing.
Upon examination the doctor found that
air had collected underneath the skin in
every part OF the body. Gleason was a
veritabfe air cushion. The doctor de-
termined 10 relieve the man and draw
the air from the cellular tissues of the
skin II possible He punctured different
parts OF the body with needles and with
the aid of an air pump and bandages he.
took away the greater part of the air
DIR. Tyler then made an examination OF
the patients lungs. He found the right
lung much diseased. The man i'm breath
ing could take air into the lungs. but on
account of his diseased condition IL could
not return through the bronchial tubes,
and made its way through the cellular
tissues OF the skin to every part of the
body.
DIR. Tyler next made an incision i'm the
mans right side. between his eighth and
ninth ribs, and inserted a tube. He then
drew off more than a quart OF broken
down lung tissue. The tube was with
drawn, the cavity cleansed and the tube
again placed in position, and Will be al

The man is now much more comforta-

tube He is gaining strength, can take
some nourishment and thinks that he may
