WESTERN CANADA AROUSING
GREAT INTEREST.
TIL, wonderful Yields of Whent-At.
tractinE Thousands.

Until the last five or six years but
little attention was given to that
vast area of grain-producing land
Wing north of the 49th parallel and
immediately adjoining the northern
boundaries of Minnesota and Dakota.
The Canadians thems elves were
aware of the wealth that lay there,
INT being unable to fully occupy it,
they have asked the Americans to
.ssist them in converting the land
from its virgin state TO one that will
largely supplement the graiI-produc-
ino area of the North American Con-
tinent, and the response has been
most liberal.
During the year 1901 upwards of
% 600 from the United States went
over TO Canada, being induced to set
tie there by the reports that reached
them of the success of those who had
preceded them during the previous
wears. This 10000 was increased to
"a. 600 during the year 1902, and it is
fully expected that there will be fully
80 600 during the present year. The
work of the immigration branch of the
Canadian Government is not now be-
ing directed towards giving informa-
ton as to the advantages of settle
ment in Canada as it is to extending an
invitation to the American to follow
those who have gone.
Those who have charge of the work
point with considerable pride to the
success of those who have been in
of 100 acres of land free in Canada, and
have no cause to hesitate in continuing
the invitation. Many of those Interest,"
ed say there are no more free home
steads to be had in Canada, but the
writer has most positive assurance
from the Canadian Government that
there are thousands of such home
steads 10 be had, and in one of the dis
tricts now being opened up fully as
good as the best, and il is probably the
best.
The Canadian Government has estab-
lished Agencies at St. Paul. Mimi;
Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo; Chi
cago. H.; Indianapolis, Ind; Milwau-
kee, Wis; Wausau, Wis; Detroit, Sault
Ste Marie and Marquette, Mich; To-
ledo, Ohio; WATERFOWL, S. Dakota;
Grand Forks, n. Dakota, and Great
Falls. Montana, and the suggestion is
made that by addressing any of these,
who are the authorized agents of the
Government, it will be to the advantage
of the reader, who Will be given the
fullest and most authentic informa-
ton regarding the results of mixed
farming, dairying, ranching, and grain
raising, and also supply information as
to freight and passenger rates, etc.

TO the MINING JOURNAL
| want to use your columns to say
wake up, people of Frostburg, and ret
out of the rut Stop growing and fault
finding. Quit your jealousy of each
other and go to work at once with a
common object, and that object a good
one.
The first thing to do is to organize a
Board of Trade. Compose it of bust
ness men and inspire them with your ex-
pectation that the towns interest Is the
leading If not only object of their or
SanlZatlon. Such Il body can accom-
pllsh an immense amount of good. 1t
can devise good legislation for the town,
ascertain the town 5 facilities for manu-
featuring development and encourage
that development. One manufacturing
concern employing %, 30 or 100 hands,
Will do more good for he turn than IL
dozen banks.
That is about all can think of to say
20 the business men.
Now to the philosophical man, the
P"'r'otic citizen, no matter what his
calllng-let lis hold il public meeting
and raise an issue higher than repeal of
the hog-pen ordinance. Why in this
pioSItSSiNc age Hct'u IL man De pledged
to the hog citizen OF to the hog? Why
should it be possible that leaders of hog
pen civilization, keeping the dirtiest
hog pens i'll town, be permitted to boy
| colt members of the Board of Health be
cause the latter body ordered them to
clean their pens: This was the case
last year, am told, and now, practically,
the town has no Board of Health
But, be that as it may, if hog people
can offer good, strong, hrnihy argument
i'll favor OF hog-pens in town-why can't
they leave that question to be decided by
Council elected to transact some much
bigger business? 1t is true that there
are m"ny water-clOsets in a filthy con-
dition-this principally because we have
no Board of Health to compel dirty peo-
pie to be clean. l mention this becaus e
| want to ask whether because we have
filthy water closets that is good reason
we should add another filthy source and
nursery of filth diseases
Again-because it is claimed that
there are already three Councilmen in
favor of repeating the hog ordinance,
having been elected on that issue. is it
right for the Board of Health to regard
that as mandate of the people that
Board of Health is not wanted?
