SEEDING IN PROGRESS IN WEST

Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.

of Settlers.
The splendid yields of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers OF
Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
As result the inquiries made OF the
agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the,
same period last year. Railroad com
panies are putting on increased car
rying capacity to meet the demand
made upon them for carrying passcn-
gers and freight. Everything points ID
a most prosperous year There is room
for hundreds Of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year.
1T Is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number it
Is surprising how few there are who

TIE MOROCCO CASE.

The indications today are that France
will overlook her objections to the pro
posed conference of the powers about
the Moroccan question and that there
will be nc rupture between that nation
and Germany-at present. France does
not especially relish the situation but
Germany has put it in such shape
that it is difficult for France to refuse
to participate in the conference.
The trouble arises over the Domino
ton of affairs in Morocco. France has
control of affairs in Algiers, which joins
Morocco, and she has been looking long
ingly over at Morocco. Morocco forms
the northwest corner of Africa, immed-
lately across the Straits of Gibraltar
from Spain. and it is therefore in a
strategic position. Algiers joins it on
the east, and is Immediately across the
Mediterranean sea from France.
If therefore France should form a
friendly alliance with Morocco and with
England in control of Gibraltar, those
two nations together would be supreme
in the Mediterranean. The commerce
of the northern coast of Africa is con-
stantly developing. and Germany does
not propose to be shut out Of it.
Emperor Wilhelm, of Germany, has
BCOA watching Tic LACAA4 OL dAdiISg ana
he proposes to keep France out of
Morocco. With that end in view, he
made a personal visit to the sultan of
Morocco some time ago to establish
friendly relations with him. Then he
sent a special ambassador to Morocco,
and shortly thereafter the sultan is
sued call for a conference of the
powers to discuss commercial rela-
lions. While this proposition comes
apparently from Morocco, it is recog-
nized that it really emanates from
Germany. and that is what causes the
trouble between Germany and France.
France suspects that Germany has.
metaphorically, something up its
sleeve whereby it will be able to dom
mate the proposed conference. France
does not see the need for a confer
ences but by having the sultan of Mo-
