GAVE HOT AIR

CHEERFUL ADVICE SUPPLIED BIZ
AN INFORMATION BUREAU.
Seekers After Information About Po-
sitions in California Received Moth
ing but Letter Couched in the
Most Vague and Indefinite Terms.

Not long ago the commercial infor-
nation bureau Of Los Angeles did a
great business by advertising to fur
nish frequent lists of desirable posi-
tons in southern California for clerks,
office men and mechanics. Upon in
Vestigation, T h e j ourn a i finds
that the concern gives nothing what
ever in return for the dollar it ex-
tracts from it's patrons, and the "ad'
has been barred from the columns of
this paper.

on the want adj page. was as follows:

readers and dollars ran in plentifully

was the following unsatisfactory reply:
Dear Sr-Your favor of recent date,
with payment for our list service, is re-
ceived, and we herewith enclose latest list.
A little advice may not be out of the
way. You are safe if you exercise caution
before coming out here. We have the best
climate on earth, and it's drawing all the
mendicantS and Weary ~WillleS' from all
over the country. There are thousands of
idle people out here, and hundreds would
go back home again if they could get the
carfare. But they are not the energetic,
up-to-date class that the times and con-
ditions demand.
Before you come out here have your
| position assured. Business houses like to
| think they have to get their high grade
| help from the east. Under such condi-
| tions they pay higher wages. It's easier
| to get a position here by sending in your
| application from the east and waiting
| there for your reply than to come out
| here first and then go the rounds. Better
wait where you are an extra sixty days
and be one the safe side. than to come out
| here on the impulse with nothing in sight
| and lose everything.
We would be glad to furnish you free OF
charge a list Of avn special houses EN-

you could send in your application to them

SEEDING OUTLOOK BETTER
More Favorable Reports Are Received

The northwest seeding outlook
made turn for the better over Sun
day and the week opened with reports
more favorable than for some time.
Rain fell Sunday and there were
showers this morning at Hillsboro, N.

this morning are cloudy and the
weather warm and windy. Some
points are still too wet, and seeding
is backward, but the outlook for farm

than last week.

r. P. Robin, premier of the pro-
vince Of Manitoba was in Minneapolis
To-day en- route to Winnipeg. Mr..
Robin is enthusiastic over the outlook
in the Canadian northwest and be-
lieves that country to be on the eve
it has known before. Weather condi-
tons have been backward, and to
April 20 Manitoba and the northwest
territories were far behind last year In
farm work, but few days of better
weather have changed the situation
materially, and Geographic advices to
Mr.. Robin this morning were of con-
tinued Improvement. The ground
had frozen so deep that the excess
moisture caused by melting snow
failed to find absorption in the soil
and floods were the. result. The
worst of this is over.
Winnipeg's Growth.
New building in Winnipeg, Mr.. Rob-
lin believes, will run ahead of last
year, and a greater volume of business
will be shown by Winnipeg banks and
commercial houses. American bust
ness houses maintaining branches in
Winnipeg, are likely to forge ahead
materially. American immigration
will not really begin for a time yet
but foreign immigrants are already
pouring in. at9

line it is not so live a question. We
Canadians feel that if the United
States wants reciprocity with Canada
it is up to her to get her ideas to-
gether, and when she knows what she

cede to Canada in return and is ready
to make definite proposals, then it viii
be time enough for the Canadian t.
think about it. At present we are do

an important element in WINNIPEG
that views closer trade Relationship

ARBoRaDAY AT SCHOOLS
Exercises VIII BE Under Direction of the
PRINCIPALS,

The board Of education will give no par

but there will be exercises in all the
schools under the direction of the princi-
pals and teachers. April 20 is the date.
The board Of education and the park
board will join forces this year to con-
tinue the plan begun last spring Of park
ing all the school grounds. Instead Of
dealing out tree or two to each school
house, the park board will concentrate it's
work on the grounds of four or five build
ings. Last year the beneficiares were
the Washington, Calhoun, Pierce and one
or two other schools. No schools have
been selected for this years improvement.
but the two boards will get together soon
to make selections. The cost annually is
about $1,000 divided between the boards.
