CANADA MECCA FOR MANY.
Influx of Population from United
States Noticed in the Dominion
IS I: Cause Explained.

Winnipeg, Can.-Hitherto the great
bulk of the influx from the United States
has been from along the international
boundary and the great central states,
but now settlers are preparing to flock
into our west from all parts of the repub-
lie to the south. The bulk Of the new
corners this year will probably continue
to be from the great wheat and corn
states, but the east, south and west will
contribute greater share than hitherto,
and the proportion bids fair to increase
in the future. #
New settlers will be arriving this sea-
son from far-off states, such as the Caro-
linas and Texas, but the most prominent
new district from which people are be-
ginning to move west is the New Eng
land states, which fact has recently
moved the government at Ottawa to APP
point special agents at Boston and
Pittsburg. The immigration from the
United States has increased from 49,
600 in 1901 to $4,000 in 1904, and the
indications are that the figures for the
present year will far exceed past rec
ords. 49,
The reports that these people send
home to their relatives and friends are
the best inducements to bring along
more and more newcomers; and this is
what is daily occurring, until it has be-
come difficult to estimate the proper
tons Of this mighty army of our .Ameri-
can cousins which in the next few years
will move across the border to this great
er America of ours.

School Matters
lin Grahanls Island

What promised to give consid-
cradle trouble in the school mat
tiers of Grahams Island school
district, was amicably settled in
a sensible and satisfactorily
manner this week. In June an
election was held for the purpose
of authorizing the school board
to issue bonds and build a new
school building. The matter Of
bonding carried almost without
opposition, but a spirited fight
was made over the location, Is
and q both being desired. The
former received the majority,
but the election was contested
on the ground that the election
officers had worked for the sue
cessful location.
The contest was heard by
Superintendent Norton, and
without deciding the case on it's
merits he suggested an amlcable
arrangement il the form Of new
election. This proposition was
acceptable to all commemorative
old election Was declared void,
and a new one ordered, The
settlement is a decidedly SEN
sible one, and the cost will be
much less than would a long liti-
cation.

NEWEST FAD IN COLLECTING
London Small Boys Bob Shop Win-'
a dows OF Lettering In Keeping ~
in the Swim,

London.The craze for collecting the
bands placed around cigars was Inn
ported from San Francisco, where the
fad reigned for years before it was
brought east. "A $ Is H
1t is to be hoped that the small boy
does not turn to England for his new
est fad. which is the collection of
enamel letters used on shop windows
and bits of mosaic from house yesti-
bules.
So widespread has become the craze
that the London police have been given
strict orders to be particularly alert
in the detection of these acts of pill
fering; and the small boy, not to be
outdone, has formed his companions
into robber gangs, with scouts posted
on the corners to warn the active
marauders of the approach of the
!" hobbies.
I. In several instances shop windows
have been cleaned Of lettering in q
single night, not always by single
gang, and now that boy who has sue
ceeded in removing the letters from
a sign fastened inside of the window
is regarded doubly hero by his fell
lows. n., 81
Damage to signs to the extent Of
several hundred dollars week has
been recorded, and unless the craze
abates it will seriously injure those
whose business Is the manufacture
and adjusting Of these signs.
In several instances the boys have
climbed to second-story windows to-
remove the lettering that ordinarily
might be supposed to be safely out of
reach.

NEW SCHEDULE FOR TWENTI-
ETH CENTURY LIMITED. |
Need Of Wall and La Sale Street BUSH
ness Men Is Complied With
Gives Full Day in Chicago
and New York IN

Chicago. From Chicago to New York
in Is hours is the new schedule which
the management of the New. York Cen
Etral lines has decided upon for the fa-
nous Twentieth Century Limited train.
This new race against time, which
will make this flyer the fastest long
distance train in the world, went into
effect June IS and was made upon the
insistent demand Of Wall street and
La Sale street interests. Wall street
firms want two extra hours for BUSH
ness in Chicago SO that they may put in
\ q full days work and return to New.
York on the same day that they came.
On the other hand, the stock exchange
and board of trade interests were
anxious to have, full working day
here before taking the train to trans
act business in New York city the fol-
lowing day.
West-bound the schedule is satisfac-
tory, as business men may remain in
New York until 2:45 in the afternoon
and can arrive in Chicago at S:45 the
next morning, in ample time to begin
the day here. The Twentieth Century
Limited until recently left Chicago at
1890 in the afternoon and the bank
ing firms and brokers declare this cut
them off with short day in Chicago.
Under the new schedule the flyer will
leaves Chicago at 1880 p. M, arriving
in New York at 1880 the next morning.
With the new schedule now in eff
feet business men in both cities are
able to leave; their own cities short
ly after noon, spend full working day
in the other city the next day, and reach
their own city again the second morn
ing. Since the Twentieth Century Lin
tied went into commission the custom
has grown rapidly among business men
of travelling between the two cities and
transacting business in person, rather
than by letter, wire or phone.
An lS-hour schedule means many re-
markable things. The roadbed and
track, the equipment and power must
{ be in perfect condition and the best
that can be provided. Discipline among
the thousands of employees who handle
and take part in operating the train
over the Lake Shore and the New York
Central roads must be perfect in every
detail and exact to the instant. 1t
means that all traffic, both freight and
passenger, must be side-tracked fully
30 minutes ahead of the flyer so that no
mistakes may occur. 1t also means
I the that when delays occur a speed Of fully
80 or 100 miles an hour, possibly more,
must be maintained for considerable
portions of time.

THE WOODS.
Chicago Reports Traces Of Depreda-;
tions Of 'Cicadae'' Never Fails
d to Appear at Stated
Periods.

Chicago. -Out in the thick under
brush and woods within an hours ride
from Chicago can BE heard the pecu-
liar twitter of the 17-year locust. His
time to appearon earth is during June,
and according to scientists, billions Of
the insects which resemble the grass
hopper will leave the puba shells and
develop their wings. s.35s 4.
Already reports have come In from
Waukegan, Fort Sheridan and other
suburbs Of the appearance Of the 10
Gust. .s F53j 3S. II Hog 4s
A person who wishes to view these
insects should go into the woods at
once. They do not live long, and it
will be II years before one can again
hear their peculiar sounds and watch
their. saw-shaped feelers gnawing into
the roots of some tree.
Entomologists call these insects
periodical cicadae, and the insects now
cropping up in almost all sections Of
the country where the woods are thick
belong to the septendecim race.
Just as this tune considerable inter-
est is manifested in these curious in
sects, which t11e II years for develop
ment. The males are known as the
noisiest insects on earth, but the fe-
male locust is silent. NJ
According to those who have made a
study of the cicada and Araced it's an
cestry, the 17-year locust made it's
first appearance on earth in 1864, and
from chronological data the fact that
II years are required for the under
ground development of this insect has
been fully established. The growth of
this strange insect is very slow, and
at the age of six years it hardly at
tains one-fourth its full size.
Scientists differ as to the food of the
F-year locust. Some say that the in
sect feeds on earth-eXudation, while
others aver that it's nourishment is Sc
cured by pumping the sap from the
roots of trees. -
1t has been learned that this STANCE
form of insect can 60 without nourish-
ment for a long time During the first
six and seven years of its growth the
| cicada is usually two feet below the
surface of the ground, and entomolo-
gists says that the locust is the great
est burrowing insect known to the sci
entific world. On account of the clear
ing of land and the building of towns
and cities, the insect is fast being ex-
terminated. Il
The name locust was given this in:
sect because it was believed to be iden
tical in appearance with one Of The
plaques Of Egypt" recorded in bibli
cal history. II mi sa !.
The 17-year locust is a destructive
insect and with it's sharp pointed beal
pierces the bark Of shrubs and trees
and causes their death. The cicada ii
