WINNIPEG MEN SAY REPORTS OF

city to attend the meeting Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Western
Canadian Immigration association.
They state that the reports of high
water in western Canada have been
somewhat exaggerated, and that one
Winnipeg newspaper man confessed to
having sent out false report that
appeared in a ST. Paul paper.
Mr.. Bole, who is the liberal candi-
date for parliament in the Winnipeg

wholesale drug business, says that
business conditions and the general
outlook in western Canada are very
satisfactory.

EIGHTEEN DAYS
TO GET INSURANCE
Auditorium COMMITTEES Expects
to Have 100000 by
May 10.

May 10 is set by A. G. Paul, chair
man Of the general auditorium COM
mittee, as the day on which to close
up the second million dollars of insur-
ance in the Northwestern National
Life Insurance company. The first
million has been passed one week,
and hard work is expected to land the
second half Of the amount required to
secure the music hall.
The voluntary solicitors are not on
flowery beds Of ease. Hard work only
is getting the insurance. While a few
are doing the work the general public
will reap the benefits in much
needed and long-hoped-for music hall.
For that reason Mr.. Paul feels JUS
titled in urging all citizens interested
in the movement to make themselves
known to the committee thru w. G..
Nye, 533 Andrus building, or thru A.
G. Paul, Temple Court.
Announcement that the company
has directed it's architects, Bertrand &
Chamberlin, to make sketches, is
thought to have given the impression
that the company is going right
ahead with the auditorium. This may
have kept applicants from coming in
early The move was made by W. F..
Bechtel the president, to insure the
company's preparation for immediate
action as soon as the $2,000,000 insur-
ance is secured.

Mr. Lonsdale is a thoro grain man. TO
a large extent the organization of the
new company and the more complete In

past month he has been working on the

their residence with regret, altho the
move is in the line of decided advance
