THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS
FOR WESTERN CANADA.

"There will be thousands of Amer
leans coming up here in the Spring."
was the remark made by a farmer
from the vicinity of Langlon, North
Dakota. when he arrived in Winni-
peg, Manitoba, the capital of West
ern Canada, "a few days since. IN
was the advance guard of a large
body who are following him. and he
has already invested in several farm
ing sections for himself and others
and purposes to take up his perma-
nent abode in this country. He went
on to say: 'HuudredS are coming
frem my district alone. | know this
to he a fact, for many of them are
neighbors of mine. The chief topic
of conversation with the farmers is
the coming Immigration in the
spring

pie from turning their eyes to Cam

| they can get land in this country
which is every bit as fertile as that

SAID OF WASHINGTON.

just honor to Washington can only
be rendered by observing his pre-
cepts and initiating his example,
Robert {. Winthrop.
However his military fame may
excite the wonder of mankind, it is
chiefly by his civil magistracy that
Nashingtons example will instruct
them.-Fisher Ames.
A great and venerated character
like tina, of Washington is
not an isolated fact in history to be
regarded with barren admiration it
is dispensation of Providence foI
good.-E. Everett.
He illustrated and adorned the civ
ilization of Christianity and furnished
an example of the wisdom and per-
fection of it's teachings which the
subtlest arguments of its enemies
cannot impeach.-Zebulon i. Vance
George Washington, the brave, the
wise, the good. Supreme i'll war, ir
council and in peace. Washington
valiant, without ambition; discreet
without fear; confident. without pre-
sumption.-Dr. Andrew Lee.
To add brightness to the sun OF
glory to the name of Washington is
alike impossible. Let none attempt
it. In solemn awe pronounce tho
name, and in its naked. deathless
splendor leave it shining on.-Abra
ham Lincoln.
Let him who looks for a monumen,
to Washington look around the
United States. Your freedom. ynnI
/ Independence. your national power
yoHr prosperity and your prodieinus
growth are monument to him.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHPLACE.
Bu< Small Monument Marks the
Spot at Wakefield Farm on
the Potomac.

Mount Vernon has become a great
mecca for the American tourist; at
Yorktown and Valley Forge stand
stately reminders of the First Gen
tleman of America. while in every
part of the land the smallest memen-
toes of his life and actions are rrl-
ciously prese.,rd: but in magnificent
decay on the lower. Potomac lies
Wakefield Farm, which was associ-
ated with his early life. 4 simple
granite shaft marks the spot where
George Washington was born, and Il
few bricks and stones are all that
remain of his early home.
The old country mansion was
burned early in the last century. but
the brick chimney. within whose arch
four people could sit. and the corner
stones, with Il portion of the fuunda-
ton. were saved. Shortly before the
civil war the historic farm passed
into the hands of a family which at
first showed some appreciation for
its associations. a succeeding gem
Grafton, however. tore down the
chimney and the remnant of the
walls in order to secure the bricks.
A marble slab bearing an inscription
giving the date of Washington's birth
and other information, which had
been set into the great arch. was
removed to the old family grave
yord; but in placing il beneath two
ancit nj fig trees planted by The moth
rr Of Washington. il was broken, and
lis fragments lie there to-day, moss
grown and vinecoveretl.
II was in 1895 that the national
gov, rnmcnt erected at Wakefe.! a
miniature copy of the Washington
monument, with the inscription
"Washinrtnn Birthplace" and in

In old age the mucous membranes
become thickened and partly lose their

This leads 10 partial loss of hearing,
smell and taste, as well as digestive
disturbances.
Peruna corrects all this by its spe-

WARMTH IS NEEDED.
Weekly Crop Report of the Gov
eminent Weather Bureau.

Washington, May 12.-The weekly
crop report of the weather bureau IS aus
follows:
The Ohio valley. middle Atlantic and
southern states have experienced an
other cool week and while the tempera-
ture has been above the seasonable
average in the more northerly districts
the reports generally indicate the need
of warmth In the lower Missouri, CEN
trail Mississippi and Ohio valleys and
Atlantic coast districts. including the
northern portion of the east gulf states,
rains would be of much benefit. Rain
would also be beneficial in the Rocky
mountain and Pacific coast districts
Much needed and abundant rains have
fallen in the west gulf states and Flor
ida. In Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa, the Dakotas. Minnesota and Wis
consin the conditions have been general
ly favorable.
Corn planting continues very late but
is now in general progress throughout
the central valleys and has begun IN
the extreme northern districts. This
work has been carried on under much
difficulty in the lower Missouri, central
Mississippi and Ohio valleys and por
tions of the middle Atlantic states,
owing to hard and cloddy ground. Ger
mination and growth have been very
slow In all districts. In the west gulf
states however the crop has recovered
rapidly from the effects of the cold of
the previous week. An Improvement In
the condition of winter wheat is report
ed from Nebraska. Kansas, Oklahoma,
Texas and Ohio but the crop has suffer

Kentucky and Missouri, much in the
southern portion of the last mentioned
state having been greatly damaged by
