ONE DOLLAR WHEAT.
Western Canada's Wheat Fields Pro-
duce It-Magnificent Yields-Free
Grants of Land to Settlers.

The returns of the Interior Depart
ment show that the movement of
American farmers northward to Can
ada is each month affecting larger
areas of the United States. Time was,
says the Winnipeg Free Press, when
the Dakotas, Minnesota ana Iowa fur
nished the Dominion with the main
bulk of its American contingent. Last
year, however, fortyfour states and
districts were represented in the Off
clal statement as to the former resi-
dence of Americans who had home
steads in Canada. The Dakotas still
head the list, with 4,OO6 entries, Min
nesota being a close second with 1857,
but with the exception Of Alabama and
Mississippi and Delaware every state
in the Union supplied settlers who, in
order to secure farms in the fertile
prairie country of Canada, became
citizens of, and took the oath of al
legiance to, the Dominion. Last year
no less than 11,841 Americans entered
for homestead lands in Canada.
From the Gulf to the Boundary. and
from ocean to ocean, the trek to the
Dominion goes on. Not only the
wheatgrowers of the central MISSISSIPPI
pi valley, but the ranchers of Texas
and New Mexico, and the cultivators
of the comparatively virgin soil of Ok
lahoma, are pouring towards the pro-
ductive vacant lands of the Canadian
Northwest. 1t is no tentative, half
hearted departure for an alien coun-
try that is manifested in this exodus;
it has become almost a rush to secure
possession of land which it is feared,
by those imperfectly acquainted wiz
the vast area of Canada's vacant lands,
may all be acquired before they ar
rive. There is no element of speculG-
tion or experiment in the migration.
The settlers have full information re-
specting the soil, wealth, the farming
methods, the laws, taxation and sys-
TEN of government of the country to
which they are moving, and they real
ize that the opportunities offered in
Canada are in every respect better and
greater than those they have enjoyed
In the land they are leaving.
Canada can well afford to welcome
cordially every American farmer COM
ing to the Dominion. There is no
question but that these immigrants
make the most desirable settlers OBJ
tainable for the development of the
prairie portion of the Dominion. Full
information can be mad from any au-
thorized Canadian Government Agent
whose address will be found elsewhere.

does it in size. One thousand two hun
dred and forCy acres literally covered
with the treasures, the productions. the
curiosities of &C world tell the story
of the fair in sentence. No one Wis
itor will ever see it all, though he
spent the full time the exposition is
open at the task. An exposition which
cost $50000O00 before its gates were
opened to the public; an exposition
to which 81 nations from all cor
ners of the world have sent their
best for the people of the world
to look upon; an exposition two miles
long and one mile wide; an exposition
that is twice the size of any other to
which the public were invited; an ex-
position that is larger than the three
previous large American eXpositions
combined. Such is the exposition
with which st. Louis celebrates the
centennial of the Louisiana purchase
But the men responsible for the ex-
position do not wish that it should at
tract by its size alone. They have
builded for beauty, as we'll as for big
ness, and who can stand in the center
of the great panorama without being
aroused to pitch of enthusiasm by
the beauty that surrounds him? 1t is
the beauty. rather than the size of the
fair, that first appeals to him.
Another thing that appeals to the
American, the man who loves his coun-

MY mother was just the same way,

never had any coffee in the house for

"A neighbor of mine, u great coffee
drinker, was troubled with pains in her
side for years and was an invalid. She
was not able to do her work and could
not even mend clothes or do anything
at all where she would have to bend
forward. If she tried 20 do a little
hard work she would get such pains
the rest of the day.
Il persuaded her at last to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she did so and she has used
Postum ever since; the result has
been that she can now do her work,
can sit for whole day and mend AMI
can sew on the machine and she never
feels the least bit of pain in her side
in fact she has got well and it shows
coffee was the cause of the whole
trouble.

Beauty, Size and SentiDent
Of the Worlds Fair
1t Is Larger and More Beautiful Than Any Other
Exposition Ever Given.

When President Roosevelt touched
the electric key at the white house in
Washington, which set in motion the
machinery of the worlds fair at st.
Louis, he not only opened to the
world the greatest display of the arts
of peace the world has ever known, but
he gave to the nation fit climax of a
century of growth OF that vast territory
west Of the Mississippi-the Louisiana
territory.
When, at the swing Of lever 10000
gallons of water per minute was re-
leased to flow over the beautiful cas-
cades in front of Festival hall. there
was completed the most beautiful ex-
position picture the world has ever
seen, a picture that will live in the
mind of every visitor to the great fair

Besides a mo1ern coming press,

1875 and used at that time to stamp
small coins. There is also a hammer
10 years old and small pair of bal.

| improvements made in the last 100
years reveals how much easier it is
now for Uncle Sam to replenish his

young in the business.
All of the machines used in the
plant are driven by Independent direct
current motors. the power for which
is transformed from $50 volts to 900.
The gas for all heating operations,
such as annealing, melting, etc, is
manufactured by an Independent plant
situated outside the building, and SO
arranged that it can be controlled in
the exhibit. These machines were de
signed and built especially for this
purpose.
First of the series of devices com

After rolling the strips are heated

BRYAN IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Two Days Campaign Begun at Park
erSburR

A dispatch from Parkersburg W. Va, last
night says: w. ]. Bryan began his two
days campaign in West Virginia for the
national democratic ticket here this after
noon. Henry G.. Davis, who has been wait
Ing here since yesterday to welcome the
Nebraskan, was the first to greet him.
During Mr.. Bryan's speech of an hours
duration Mr.. Davis sat behind him on a
second story portico, which overlooked as
many people as could command earshot
Of the strong oratorical powers for which
Mr.. Bryan is celebrated. When the speech
was concluded Mr.. Davis faced the au-
dience, but merely acknowledged their
plaudits and modestly declared that no
man could speak after Mr.. Bryan.
In his speech Mr.. Bryan stood for the
principles of government and democracy
on which he made his two campaigns of
1896 and 1900 He declared with emphasis
that he had given up nothing Of these be-
Hers for that the present democratic plat
form gave him more of them than any
other platform.
Imperialism received more attention than
any other subject touched upon Speaker
Cannon. he said. was referring to the as
sistance Bryan had rendered In securing
the ratification of the Spanish peace treaty,
In this reference he said Mr.. Cannon was
entirely overlooking the amendment which
Mr.. Bryan had also supported, placing the
F1lipinos on exactly the same basis as tha
Cubans.
