what the correspondent referred to has
to say of one particular district:
10 the Editor of the Leader:
The rush of the land seekers will be
TO the prairie provinces of the Domin-
ION OF Canada. The allurements of a
sou that yields 40 bushels of wheat to
the acre are too great to be resisted
and an immense migrat ton from this
country may be confidently predicted.
People here laughed at first at the idea
OF any one leaving the United States
for Canada, but the Dominion authori-
ties knew they had a good thing and
they stuck to it. Their officials evident
~ knew the value of printers ink. They
spared no expense in letting the people
of this country know that these lands
were there and that they were exactly
as represented. They did more. They
sent out specimens of the crops raised
ana samples of thu grain. We have
had them here at four consecutive
street fairs presided over by one of
their ablest immigration officers. This
gentleman spared no pains. He ex,
planned the value of the lands and the
richness of the soil from morning to
night to all corners.
All this told in the long run. Sew
eral went up from here to spy out the
land and, like Caleb, the son of Jepun.

brought back a good report and now
some ten families will leave here in a
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle upon
farms there, and others are preparing
to follow. OF course many will appear
shocked at the idea of any one leaving
the Stars and Stripes for the Union
Jack, but patriotism is but nomencla-
ture after all, and our experience has
been that in nine hundred and ninety
nine cases out of thousand. man is
the most patriotic where he can make
the most money and do the most harm
to those whom he hates"

from death at fires. but their thrilling expert

chances in their work In times when fires are
not raging the chaplains work in harmony for
the betterment of the morals of the brave men
who risk life and limb every day They visit
the various engine houses and talk to the men
on their duties as Christians and encourage
them to be good as we'll courageous. The
chaplains are always welcome in quarters. for

are laboring for their good
But 1t is at fires that the chaplains have shown
themselves most fearless in the discharge of
their duties. Both respond on all third alarms
and each on second alarms In the immediate
neighborhood of their homes. At all of the
large fires they come in contact with the higher
officers of the department
Besides attending to the spiritual wants Of the
nremen' the chaplains are responsible for many
temporal benefits to the men in whose cause
they have enlisted themselves Fighting fire
ON a cold winters night for hour after hour
without nourishment is sufficient to try the
nerve of any man. The chaplains realized this
when they responded on their first night fire
and they promptly made arrangements for a
