Cannot Reduce a Rate.

1t is stated in Washington, that under
the Townsend rate bill, if rate is fixed
by the Commission it cannot be lowered
by railroad. Should an emergency
arise calling for decreased rate, the
railroads or shippers would have to ap-
peal again to the Commission, there be-
ing no latitude allowed, whatever the
circumstances. Hitherto maximum
rate has been the rule. but no such con-
cession is made under the proposed leg
islation.

ANOTHER RECORD IN
LAND-HUN1iNG.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever.

It was thought in 1908, when over
forty-five thousand people went from
the United States to Canada, that the
limit of the yearly emigration to the
wheat zone of the Continent had been
reached. But when in 1904 about as
large a number of American citizens
signified their intention of becoming
settlers on Canadian lands, the gen.
eral public were prepared for the an
No surprise therefore will be caused
when it is made known that the pre-
dictions of fully fifty thousand more in
1905 are warranted in the fact that
the Spring movement Canadaward is
greater than it has ever been. The
special trains from Omaha, Chicago,
st. Paul, Detroit, and other gateways,
have been crowded. Many have gone
to join friends and relatives who have
prepared homes for them, and others
have gone relying upon their own re-
sources, satisfied that what others
have done can also be done by them.
This year much new territory has
are extending their main lines and
throwing out branches in their march
across the best grain and grazing
lands on the Continent. This new
territory has attractions for those de-
string to homestead on the one hun
dred and sixty acres granted each set
tier by the Canadian Government.
Many also take advantage of the OPP
portunity to purchase lands at the low
figures at which they are now being
offered.
1t does not require much thought
to convince one that If Iowa, Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands. with a
value of from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre will give good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels of wheat to the acre and
thirty to fifty bushels of corn to the
acre, the lands of Western. Canada at
seven to ten dollars an acre, produc-
ing from twenty to thirty bushels of
a superior wheat to the acre, should
produce a competence to the ordinary
farmer in a very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There arc millions of acres of
such land in Western Canada in addi-
ton to the other millions that are con-
sidered to be portion of the biggest
and best ranges that. ever invited the
cattle and horse producer of the North
American continent. What is particu-
larly evident in Western Canada is
the fact that the wheat lands, adjoin-
ing the grazing lands, make farming
particularly agreeable and profitable.
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, who are always willing to give
information and advice to intending
settlers. say that the acreage put I'M
der crop this season is greatly in ex-
cess of last season.

iZation which was formed in 1885 in
Brussels. This is the first time the con-
gress has met in America, and railroad
men of this country are anxious to en-
tighten the foreign delegates as to the
advancement which has been made in
this country in the last 20 years
When the congress met in London, in
1895, the American delegates who at
tended were not slow to recognize the
fact that the majority of European
managers and engineers looked upon
the railroad methods of this country
as somewhat crude and primitive. The
Americans might learn something from
the admirably equipped and conducted
trunk lines of Europe, but there was
little or no valuable contribution which
they could in turn make to railroad
lore.
To those who are familiar with the
true situation. this idea was absurd at
that time, and is more than ever ridi-
culous to-day, for in the last 80 years

DYNAMITE
SET OFF AT
SARATOGA.

Saratoga. n. Y, Aug. 1.-TWO loud ex-
plosions in quick succession in different
sections OF Saratoga startled visitors late
last evening and set afoot stories about
dynamite plots. While Very little actual
damage was done. there can be no doubt
that some violent explosive was used.
The question Is whether IL was the
work OF a practical joker or of some per-
son intending mischief who failed to carry
out his plans.
The explosion occurred in a narrow
alleyway between the United States club
conducted by Joseph Uhlman in Wood
lawn avenue and adjoining a garage.
The second explosion occurred about
half an hoIr later at a point in Circular
street, directly above the grounds OF
Richard Canfield's Saratoga club house.
In both instances the noise was great and
the neighbors were of the impression that
bombs had been used
The scene- of the first explosion Is an
alley about three feet wide, which Ia AL
ways blocked by a bootblack stand. So
far as can be judged. the explosion was
placed directly under the chair, which
was DlOWn 10 atoms ana tine walls around
smeared with the bootblack's oil and
paste. All of the windows on that side
OF the garage were broken, as was the
glass sign. Some damage YVES done TO
the buildings, as the corner posts were
wrecked and the tin gutter fell.
All OF the windows OF the clubhouse
were open at the time and those on the
basement floor were broken. A great
crowd quickly gathered. including hum
dreds OF guests from the Broadway ho-
tells.
When the excitement was at its height
around the United States club the second
explosion was heard and the sharp re-
port took hundreds from Broadway up
the side streets TO discover what had hap
pened. The second explosion occurred
in clump OF bushes in the park and was
closer to the Kensihgton hotel than iu
was to Canfields club house.
Persons dining and playing In Canfield's q
did not hear the noise as plainly as did
those In the open air
Later In the night several crudely print
ed slips were found in the corridor OF a.
leading hotel. asserting that dynamite in
large quantities had been found in the
two club houses and warning people to
be careful These slips lead the police
to believe that the explosions were the
work of a fanatic.
