THE HUB

York alone amounted to above ST.
100000, and the present indications
are that September figures will show
a material increase. Imports Of mer-
chandise for the first elg.i, months
OF the current calendar year amu'nt
ed In value to $4,000 900, IL In
crease of $lo3, 900, 900 over tte I'M
ports for the corresponding months
last year. The larger imports necss-
sariiy mean increased revenue for
the government, which in surn re-
moves the most potent influence for
tariff legislation-at any rate, re-
moves the prime necessity for a wide
spread reconstruction OF tariff
schedules. On the other hand. the
convictions in the case Of Chicago
packers for conspiri2g to receive re-
bates in connection with the transpor-
taticn Of their products contain much
to support the arguments Of those op
posing government rate control in
that they show that legal remedies
already exist for the rebate evil II
properly applied. Therefore the in
centiye for anything like h~ysterical
legislation both In connection with
the tariff and railroad rates seems 20
be gradually diminishing. This does
not mean that both subjects will not
become the source Of much agitation
and thus unquestionably exert some
influence in stock exchange circles;
but the prospects are favorable to
the belief that the ultimate result Of
such legislation will not be confisca-
tory In the case Of the railroads nor
interfere with Industrial PROSPERITY in
the instance Of the tariff. Neverthe-
less. the mere fact tuat there win be
widespread discussion on both sub.

BY HERBERT yANDERHOOF


K SASKATOON. Alberta, Sept. 1.-Prob-
ably the first thing that will strike the
tourist from the States when he arrives
in this section of Canada is the prepon-
< derance of Americans in the population
: While there are no statistics available to
show exactly what proportion of the pop
ulation is from the States, it is safe to
say that at least three quarters of it for
semerly owed allegiance TO the Stars and
Stripes. The best farms and the biggest
crops all through this Northwest country
are owned and gathered by men from the
great agricultural states of the Union
Illinois, Iowa, Indiana. the Dakotas, Wis
consin, Minnesota, and Nebraska have
probably contributed the greater part of
this population, but there are few states
OF the Union that are not represented.
What are the causes that have brought
this great emigration from the States ?
asked this question of farmer at whose
house stopped the other day while driv-
ing through the country. He told me
that he was from Iowa, born in the state,
and had been farmer all his life. He
had a good sized farm there, and had
been successful in every way.
= why didn't you stay there, then?" I
asked.
We'll, I'll tell you,'' he replied, as he
contemplatively puffed away on his pipe.
You see, "Pve got a pretty fair sized
family-hve sons and three daughters
and, while the farm in Iowa was all right
as long as we were all together, it
wouldn't amount to much split up among
the family after 1 am gone.
Liked Looks of Land.
"Now, land in the section from Which
came Is worth and brings readily from
sS75 to $l00 an acre. I had read about
this Canadian, country and took a trip
up here one summer to see what it was
like. 1 found that could buy land here in
every respect vastly superior to anything
in Iowa, or any other state, for that mat
ter, for few dollars an acre.
= When l went back home l talked the
matter over with my wife, and the result
was that we decided to sell and come ul
here. l got 800 an acre for my land
With the money that l received I came
here and bought farm twice as big as
the one I owned in Iowa. l also bought
farms for each of my boys, and have
started them on their own hook. In do
ing this l think I have made the best in
Vestment Of my life. In two years time
l have made from my wheat crop alons
as much money as this farm cost me, and
my live stock and other crops have been
= just so much clear money to me. This
! y ar my wheat averaged forty-four BUSH
: els to the! acre.. I not only have this
2 fam clear, but have fair sized bank
account. My boys have had the same
success, and are today independent
N0W, do you wonder why I came to Can
ada?"
The story of this former Iowa farmer
: is that of the majority of the Americans

Better salaries are paid in towns. It il
possible that some Of the Ontario girls
who come west have ideas other than
merely Of schools and salaries. One young
woman the writer met last week was quite
disappointed with Western men. They
were not sufficiently outspoken But she
had been west only about two months.
This is a country of lonely women, both
married and single, and only those of stout
but not necessarily impervious hearts
should come out. School teachers often
have to put up with poor lodgings and
frugal fare, walk long distances, and live
In uncongenial society. But If they have
a love for the wild and romantic along
with desire to. help lay the foundations
Of coming greatness they will find some
compensations in the teachers life Of
western Canada.
The Minneapolis journal., 1905-09-08

French were in the minority. The English
speaking residents of Canada found out
about the richness of the lands in the
new province and they began to pour into
1T. The result was that the French were
soon driven out. They do not amalga-
mate we'll with other races, and most Of
them went back to Quebec.
f Today the Americans are in the major
ity in the country tributary to Winnipeg,
but the population consists of many
nationalities and is truly cosmopolitan.
Quite number Of the natives Of Iceland
have settled in the province and have
proved to be a thrifty, and Industrious
class Of citizens. 800 -
One OF the most unsatisfactory types
OF people that have ever been induced to
settle here were the Doukhobers, who
have always been more or less a source
Of trouble. The principal trouble with
+ these people was their unwillingness to
conform to the laws, especially those re-
lating to marriage and, divorce. They
seemed to be looking for persecution all
the time, and while when they first came
here there was general feeling of SYM
pathy for them because of the hardships
they were reported to have suffered in
Russia, this feeling soon vanished.
Provision is being made to meet the de-
mduu loi teaCHefS III lnc west Dy tne NOR
NAL school at Regina. At present 100
students are in training, all of whom will
be ready for work next New Years day.
The normal term is only four months for
those who have the needed high school
training. Students who have passed the
examinations Of Ontario and have profess
sional certificates are accepted in the ter
ritories and given interim certificates to
teach. At the end Of one year, If they
have done satisfactory work, life certifi-
Gates are granted. Not few Ontario
young men. and women are in the Normal
school at Regina because Of the short
term. The higher salaries offered attract
them west. Women teachers are paid Oh
an average of about $500 a year and men
about $500 In the rural public schools.

WlNNIPEG'S GROWTH is A !
MARVEL TO THE WEST
Destined to BE the Center of the
DominfOn1s Wealth and Com
merce in a Few Years.
Special Correspondence.

DOm1n1On7s "ealth ana Com-
merce in a Few Years.
< Special Correspondence. "
WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. blocking at
the Winnipeg Of today and comparing 1t
with the city of twenty years ago, one
cannot help but wonder when its progress
will reach "a elimination. The average
Winnipeger will tell you that the city
has hardly begun to grow, and with that
conclusion the Intelligent observer will
be obliged to agree. The people here
compare their city with Chicago, and
confidently predict that 1t is matter of
but few years when Winnipeg will be
the largest city in the Dominion and the
center Of it's wealth and commerce.
u, There are good reasons on which to
base this prophecy. Winnipeg Is today
the center of one of the most fertile:
areas of land in the world. Its geograph-
ical location makes it the natural dis
tributing center for the enormous wheat
and cattle fields of the Northwest, and
the same conditions that gave Chicago
its supremacy in the States exist here,
If anything, in an even greater degree.
The tremendous influx Of immigration
from the United States in the past few
years has already had most important
effect on the city's trade, and the build
ing operations that have been undertaken
in the past year have been without any
precedent In the history of Canadian
cities.
When Manitoba was first settled and the
Lefty of Winnipeg founded, the French
from the province ofQuehec were largely
in the majority, and there was good rea-
son for the belief that the province would
be controlled by that nationality. 1t was
only few years, however, until the
