CANADA DRAWS ON Our FARMING
POPULATION. - 1t is not generally
known that Canada has been drawing
very largely on our farm emigrants
and that it may equal 100000 next
year. The splendid farming land oil
the Canadian Northwest is the incen.
tive and the liberal land laws afford an
inducement that seems to be irresisti.
bic to many tillers of the soil. Lands
can be bought at a very low figure,
and in that case no remuneration OF
citizenship is necessary. If q free
farm is taken. however, the rate paid
is fee of $40, which the locator pays
when he gives notice that he will ap.
ply for a patent. When the patent
issues he is required to take the oath
of allegiance to King Edward VII,
and by that act renounce American
citizenship. While this is always to
be deprecated by our people, the i'm.
preston OF American vim into colonial
life will prepare the northern portion
OF the continent for q transition
whereby it may in the course of time
come under our own control.

A UTILITARIAN TO FAME UNKNOWN
Thomas Fitzpatrick lately died in
New York. He was unknown to fame
but did more to change the social con.
ditions of cities of our country than
any other man. Still he was in nc
degree sociologist, humanitarian
or blatant advocate of any of the
modern ideas of reform. He was sim.
ply practical utilitarian. He saw in
means at command an adaptation to
the greatest good to the largest mum.
Der. His fad was flats. He built the
first fat building, ever seen in this
country, a five story structure in the
Empire City, and it sprang into i'm.
immediate favor. 1t was crude af
fair, compared with the evolution that
has since ensued, but it was a starting
point, and gave the comfort and priv.
acy of . home, at rental that was
lower than such conveniences could be
afforded in q separate structure. 1t is
estimated that fully Is per cent. oil
Gotham ms population live in flats, and
the man who died the other day to
fame and fortunes praise unknown,
made the discovery that such condi.
lions existed and the possibility Of de.
velopment OF the modern fiat.

TIA Irp Maru, lately arrived at Vic.
toria, brings the news that the u. s.
battleship Oregon came to Yokahams
in a terribly knocked up condition,
from a storm experienced just before
making port. All her boats were
swept away, and for days the ship was
practically under water. It was moi
expected that abe would live through
it, but the charm of good luck has moi
yet deserted the good ship, and she
still exists as one of our most stalwart
nations defenders.

THE "RING Down" ON THE FOND.
LING FAD.-The baby controversy is
assuming a wide latitude from the re.
cent action of the authorities and the
publicity given thereto. 1t would have
been better that such proceedings be
conducted behind closed doors. The
long article OF condemnation published
by Oily, led Mrs. Oades to give her de-
tense, and that has induced at least
two other couples to enter disclaimers.
One of these is Mrs. Warren, but she
does not deny the fact that she wanted
. baby and requested one to be de-
livered on order, and states in her
letter to the Olympian that "Some
members OF the family seemed to think
we could not furnish the little man a
home. He was q bright. handsome
child, and anyone who is fortunate
enough to possess heart could not on
seeing the little fellow turn him away.
And in the future I hope again to be
fortunate enough to open my door to
these little homeless waits with better
results than this one." This state
ment seems to possess an ominous ring
for Mr.. w.

A WEST POINT" RESIGNATION OF
LAND COMMISSIONER. - Binger Her.
mann, Commissioner Of the General
Land Office, has rendered his resigna-
ton by request OF the Secretary of the
Interior, and will be succeeded by
William A. Richards, now Assistant
Commissioner. The relations between
Secretary Hitchcock and Commission
er Hermann, have been strained, it is
said, for some time past. The charge
that the latter retained in Office in.
competent subordiuates may have had
something to do with his dismissal.
1t is said that Hermann will return to
Oregon and run for U. 8. Senator.

ATTEMPT TO ABOLISH SANTA CLAUS.


The ministers OF the Gospel OF Ham
ilton, Ohio, held meeting about the
middle of last month to Danish Santa
Claus. In other words, they proposed
in the approaching holiday season to
ignore the myth which has delighted
the children Of all generations OF the
Christian era. Their own incentive
for such course was, of course, a cold.
blooded interpretion of duty that
would hold the world down to the
fiinty stratum of crystalized truth.
1t would Danish all metaphor from
our language, all sunlight from the
soul. 1t would remove half the plees-
ures OF youth from contemplation Of
that jolly old soul who comes but once
a year, but comes to bless. What
matters It if Santa Claus should, in.
deed, be the father or the mother, or
some other dear one; is concealment oil
that fact lie, in the true definition oil
the word? Is it sin to clothe those
kindly feelings which find expression
in gifts, with mystery which charms
not alone the realm of childhood? II
is not stated whether those Ohio
preachers had their way in the church
or not, but it is safe to say that quite as
many tiny stockings were hung in the
family tireplaces as if the orthodox
edict had not gone forth.

Rev. E. NJ. Mills, executive head of

Church. Springfield, Mass. the fact
that every dollar Of the fund had been
raised. This is more for that purpose
than had been expended by that de-
nomination in the past 300 years.

Death Of q Noted Woman.

Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, widow
of the man known as The Path
finder" from his wide explorations,
died in Los Angeles. Cal, of pneu-
monia, on the 9th ult.-last Satur-
day. She had been ill for but a few
days, but owing to her enfeebled con-
dition-she was 70 years of age-:he
disease made rapid progress.
Mrs. Fremont led strange career
between the privations of the western
frontier and the life at the courts of
Europe. A Virginian by birth, plunged
at IA into the society which gathered
about her father, Senator Benton, in
Washington, she eloped at l6 with the
fascinating young lieutenant, John c.
Fremont.
Though she returned almost imme.
diately to her fathers home, she aided
and abetted the schemes and explora-
tions which brought her husband such
rcnown as the" Pathfinder" and shared
his conquest of California.
She led a brilliant life in society in
Europe and the United States, made
the trip across Panama in 1913 to join
her husband in California, and with
him endured all the hardships OF the
time.
