the railroad should be constructed,
and, 10. here was the beginning of the
end for the forest primeval The lum-
Der company had arrived.
Things hummed. Though it cost
$4,000 more to construct than was
first estimated, the little railroad was
put through. Hundreds Of carloads
of material we're brought in-heavy
machinery, an army of workmen. The
site for the mill was selected, the
superintendent granite put to some
use for foundation work, and when
the lumber and machinery arrived
mill-construction and equipping hus-
tied along. Even hardy people are
accustomed to roofs, and Immediately
labor on shelters was begun. But
difficulties were many; there was the
deep forest to weed out, the stubborn
granite rock to scatter Cutting and
blasting went strenuously on and, be-
fore you could believe it, a big board
ing house arose. more dwellings went
up; careful, well-built ones many of
them; and presently along came the
women and children and other house
hold luxuries.
The railroad was finished to the
river bridge the middle of September;
the middle of November some of us
had moved into our nouses-not fin

ton. At first the store" sold it's
goods from a side-tracked car. but
very soon there were real counters,
real shelves, and big frame building,

WESTERN cANADA,S RE.
SOURCES
Farming Very Successful

BY Western or Northwest Canada Is
usually meant the great agricultural
country west of Ontario, and north Of
Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana.
Part of it is agricultural prairie, treeless
in places, park like in others, part is
genuine plains, well adapted to cattle
ranches; part requires irrigation for
successful tillage, most of 1t does not.
The political divisions of this region are
the Province Of Manitoba and the terri
torial district Of Assiniboia, Saskat-
chewan. Alberta and AthabaSk. At
present, however, the latter is too re-
mote for immediate practical purposes.
The general character of the soil of
Western Canada is a rich, black, clay
loan with clay subsoil. Such a soil is
particularly rich in food for the wheat
plant The subsoil is clay, which re-
tains the winter frost until it is thawed
out by the warm rays Of the sun and
drawn upward to stimulate the growth
of the young wheat, SO that even in dry
seasons wheat is a good crop. The clay
soil also retains the heat of the sun later
in the summer, and assists in the early
ripening of the grain. 1t is claimed that
cultivation has the effect of increasing
the temperature of the soil several de-
grees, as well as the air above it.
Western Canada climate is good-cold
in winter; hot in summer, but with cool
nights. Violent storms of any kind are
rare. The rainfall is not heavy. 1t
varies with places. but averages about
II inches. 1t fails usually at the time
the growing crops need it.
The department of the interior, OF
tawa, Canada, has agents established at
different points throughout the United
States who will be pleased to forward an
Atlas of Western Canada, and give such
other information as to railway rate,
ETC., as may be- required.
That agriculture in Western Canada
pays Is shown by the number of testi-
moniais given by farmers. The follow
Ing is an extract made from letter from
q farmer near Moose Jaw:
"At the present time own sixteen
hundred acres of land. fifty horses. and
large pasture fenced containing a
thousand acres. These horses run out
all winter and come in in the spring
quite fat. A man with money judicious-
ly expended will make competence
very shortly. 1 consider IN the last six
years the increase in the value of my
land has netted me forty thousand dol
lars"

Daniels Great Speech.

Senator Daniel made II great speech
oil Thursday evening Mt the banquot
glvep by the Virginia Democratic Asso-
tcntion In Washington, Tiis new defini-
ton OF Democracy was first rate. TRUE
Democracy said he, means not getting
too mitch from tho government, but Keep
ling tho government from gettlrg too
much from YOU" Our government was
founded upon that principle, i was never
dcsl1ned by the founders that the gov
eminent should help any man or set OF
mcr to get along III business The whole
design Of government, rs conceived by
our forcfathers, was to give cach anu
every man tho Same chance to get along.
to protect each man In his liberty, and In
his personal and property rights; but
after that, to throw him upon his owE
resources, and, without help or llindrnnce
from government. leave him FREQ to work
out his own salvation. us Mr.. Jeffer-
son put It, ''by his own brain and Drawn"
1T was In that way that American mar
hood. independent, self-relinnt manhood,
was developed. and any policy Of govern
ment which tends in any other dlrcctlon
is radically uni Democratic.
Senator Daniel also said, in speaking
of tho Forthcoming campaign, that we
should put into our next platform tho
things on which we are all agreed, and
leave out tho things over which there
Is disagreement, and he added that the
Democratic party should be too big to be
governed by oEe man.
That also is good Democratic sense, and
& It is well enough to recall In this con-
necton. that during his recent visit to
Richmond, the Hon. William J. Bryan
said. In reply to question, that he re-
garded Senator John w. Daniel as the
greatest man and ablest statesman in
the United States.
