RrSH TO CANADlS CHEAP LANDS.
Many WeUCrners Are Taking Up the Ne"
MnmesIeads Across the n0rder.

LINCOLN, Neb., April l5.-With the end OF
the era Of free distribution Of Government
lands through the opening Of Indian reser-
vatons has come a great hegira q Western
ers from this section to the Canadian North
west The movement began two years ago
in the cheap lands in Assiniboia, Alberta,
Manitoba and the Saskatchewan country
Thousands Of acres were purchased by
individuals and syndicates at from 50 to
81 an acre. A second column, composed OF
farmers in search Of cheaper lands, moved
on those sections last year. To these the
spectators sold out at prices that netted
them from 80 TO 600 per cent. profit
These farmers put in thousands Of acres
Of wheat and reaped such good harvests
that the news has trickled back here, and
hundreds more have gone to secure the
rich lands.
There are still thousands Of acres open
TO homestead entry, and those can be Sc
cured at from s. 10 81 an acre, with only
a $40 fee and three years residence. mat
part Of the world Is producing about 100 600
600 bushels Of wheat annually, and the
yield IL increasing at TREMENDOUS rate.
From Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska
thousands OF emigrants have gone, I'll in
some sections there are scarcely any Ing
lshmen or Canadians.
Most Of these men disposed OF their nome
lands at $50 and $50 an acre, and with the
proceeds bought half a township OF Cana
dian land This is enough to give all OF the
bows a farm. The land produces from
forty 20 fifty bushels Of wheat 70 the acre,
with crop failures almost unknown. Last
wear much Of this wheat brought 81 a
bushel, and many instances are related
where last years crop paid for all OF the
land purchased last spring.
The only CALLING thing connected with
Canadian demonstrating is that all who ma ke
entries must forswear allegiance TO the
limited States and become subjects OF
King Edward This requirement does not
sit well upon the stomachs Of many West
erners. One Kansas farmer who had taken
his family Of six boys with him, trailed
hack home last week, declaring he wanted
no land at all under such circumstances.
Those who have been in Canada Tor any
length Of time insist that the oath OF ale
glance sits very lightly upon their shoulders
and that In actual practice the Govern
mcnt is as much Of republic as Is the
United States.
Winter wheat Ia the great staple, and
Alberta and AssinibOia are regarded as
equal in every respect to the famous wheat
lands Of Minnesota and North Dakota.
Cattle is another great staple and prices
arc better than in the United States, The
railroads have been busy pushing their
lines into the new settlements, and in this
work the American roads have We'd with
the Canadian.

JAPANESE MAILING CARDS.
The War Now Furnishing Striking Sub
Jects for Their illustration.

Pictured mailing cards, made in Japan,
nowadays present many striking scenes
Of the war. One card, for instance, lately
received In this country, has upon it two
pictures Of the army review held in Toxic
in November, 1904,
There Is also reproduced on this card
running across the larger Of the two pict-
ures, a bar OF music, presumably an army
buRle call There are legends in Japanese
characters on each side Of this card, and
the title explaining the pictures is printed
also in English.
Another Japanese mailing card with a
war picture for its illustration has likewise
legends in Japanese character on either
side one Of these inscriptions being printed
In gold The title Of the picture as printed
In English under line Of Japanese H.:
'Our Combined Squadron Steaming Toward
the Enemv.'
The picture on this card also Is a repro
duction OF a photograph, Of one eT entity
taken from the after deck OF a war vessel,
small section Of which appears in the fore
ground Of the picture. As shown on the
card the vessels, with a battleship in the
lead are coming toward the observer IN
column. The broad wake made by the
turning screws OF the ship from WI iCh the
photogra ph was taken shows plainly in the
picture as do the waves made by the bows
Of the bottleship following, the lcader Of
the column Of ships seen In the picture,
which l. moving through broad and quiet
yea. stretching away, with no land In sight,
10 the distant horizon.
The figures Of the ships ns shown In this
picture are small, hciRhtcning the effect Of
the broad wake eNpanse, but the figure
Of the leading bsttleshlp comes ont very
clearly, as does the great cloud OF rollins
black smoke rising from It's tunnels, vi ilc
similar clouds can be seen rising from the
tunnels Of the ships following at intervals
in line, the last Of which Is on the distant
horizon line.

CURIOUS FEATURES OF LIFE.
Love Letter Received AFTER 10 YeaI.
From he PhdddeIpha Record.


Although belated more than twenty years,
a love letter appointing q tryst has been dis

lives in Darby. Birdssll was born and

tree. One day death visited the Birdsall
family. and the feud was suddenly termi-
mated, In the excitement Miss Parkinson
totally forgot letter she had just left in the

The barriers removed. the lovers married.
and about ten years ago moved 10 Phila-

but he knows the railroad business.
Particularly he knows the Western electric
railroads and tho mon who work on thenI'
and they know him.
The three weeks before tho strike Mr.
Keegan spent, under orders from his SUI
porlors, In travelling through the West ro-
newing acquaintance on those roads, The
result was that before the strike was de-
oared the marlborough officials had In
their possession lists OF the motormen OF
every electric railroad In the West using the
double air brake, the wages these men
received their length OF service, their quail
flcations and personal CHARACTERISTICS.
The moment the strike was declared
hundreds Of kilograms were sent out read
ing something like this:
Robinson. noformdn, Erdnsrdls Railroad,
Indiana!
Will you accept permanent position under
present conditions on this road at onceI
Expenses paid; wages. $3.50 a day. Answer.
KEEoAE,

New York city.
The answers came in by the basketfui
not from Notorman Robinson alone, but
from other men on the roads, describing
their qualifications and asking II the offer
held good for them, too.
EVERY APPLICANTS REooRD KNOWN,
As fast as these came In. the record Of the
applicants was looked up. II they were
wanted. they we're engaged by wire and
ordered 10 start East at once. II they
we're not, they were ignored. A fast as
the men arrived here they wore put to
work.
SO many responses came from men eager
for New York wages that great care had 10
be exercised not to take too many men
from any one railroad. It Ia a fact that
the Marlborough people could have tied
up completely more than one Western
railroad system had they been 40 minded.
For the less skilled places applicants
literally streamed in. There were too
many men rather than too few. An hour
after the old men struck trains were run
ming in new hands all the vacant places
were steadily being filed. Then railroad
men who know things saw that the jig was
up for the strikers.
/ Violence, under New York police protec-
| ton, was practically impossible. even II
/ the strikers had wished to attempt II, which
| apparently they did not. The trains ran
/ and that was the end. The very next day
applications from strikers for their old Jobs
/ began to come in.
with few exceptions the Farley strike
! breakers who came here returned to their
old places and former occupations after
three weeks OF work on the Interborough
| The new men who stayed are mostly those
engaged directly by the company.
1T WAS EASY, FARLEY SAYS.
Professional strike breakers are birds Of
passage. They have departed for their
/ homes TO wait for the next Job. They all
/ agree that this was the easiest they evei
had. Farley himself told a group Of union
/ men:
when came here last fan I told YOU
/ that il ever got this Job I'd break a strike
! here in twenty-four hours. Well, it really
/ didn't take that long
With an army Of railroad men like this
at command and the possibility Of so ar
ranging its assembly, can any ordinary
railroad strike succeed The question has
been asked many times in the last few week.
and the answer has never been encouraging
10 would-be strikers.

New Suit for SC.

Any smoker can get suited for
sc by going to 3. A. Barker's
Drug store and buying a Wads
worth Bros "Chico."
This cigar is not a stogy, a
cheroot, or a Porto Rican imita-
ton cigar, but a we'll made, good
size, clear long Havana filler that
tastes like tobacco from the first
puff right to the end. It smokes
free, with a real Carolina per-
fecto fragrance, and burns with
a solid ash that shows how good
a cigar it is.
The "Chicos'' is warranted to
suit any smoker, no matter
whether he has been paying SC,
10, or higher price. At any
rate it is well worth trying, and
Druggist E. A. Barker wants all
his smoker friends to get the
"Chicos" habit.
