ANOTHER RECORD IN LAND.
HUNTING.
This Springs Exodus toCanada Greater
than Ever,

This Springs Exodus toCanada Greater
than Ever.
1t was thought in 1908, when over
fifty 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 reach
ed. But when in 1894 about as large
number of American citizens signi-
fed their intention Of becoming set
tiers on. Canadian lands, the general
public were prepared for the an
nouncement of large numbers in 1905.
No surprise therefore will be caused
when it is made known that the pre-
dictions of fully fifty thousand 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
been opened up by the railroads. which
are extending their main lines and
throwing out branches in their march
across the best grain and grazing
lands on the continent This new ter
ritory has attractions for those desiring
tn hnmnSfno6 n
sixty acres granted each settler by the
Canadian Government Many also
take advantage of the opportunity 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 a 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, producing
from twenty to thirty bushels of SUI
perior wheat to the acre, should pro-
duce a competence to the ordinary
farmer in a very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There are millions of acres of
such land in Western Canada in addi-
ton to the other millions that are con-
sidered to be portions 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 VI estern Canada is the
fact that the wheat lands, adjoining
the grazing lands, make farming par
ticularly agreeable and profitable. The
agents Of the Canadian Government,
WHO are always willing to give infor-
nation and advice to intending set
tiers, say that the acreage put under
crop this season is greatly in excess Of
last season.

THE SCOOTER OF LONG ISLAND.
The Only Craft That Will Navigate the
Tricksy Ice Of Those Winter Bays.

The Only Craft That Will Navigate the
Tricksy Ice Of Those Winter Bays.
j. w. Muller, in Outing.-Those
strange saltwater lagoons that extend
from New York east along the south
shore of Long Island to the sandy
Hamptons, present an arctic problem
of their own in winter No boat can
cross them, for there is never an I'M
broken reach of open water. No man
can walk them, for there is rarely un-
broken ice. No ice yacht ca1f sail
them, for there may be a five-foot
thickness of ice in one stretch and
not half an inch in another. The
restless tides will not let the bays
freeze smooth. Each change of cur
rent makes hummocks up-rear that
would wreck the ice yacht Each
tide opens wind holes and loosens
foes in the channels
Thus the only mode of winning
across the treacherous anu deadly sur
face from mainland to beach, for com
munication or life saving, was to drag
a f1at-bottomed boat on a sled, sliding
it off at mush ice or open water and
polling or rowing till hard ice was
gained again, when the killing work
of dragging the heavy craft was re-
sumed. No man could expect to
cross without breaking through hid
den holes. Each winter took a toll
Of dead
To ease the work of dragging the
boats, the life savers at last hit on the
idea of setting a tiny sail on the craft
when the wind was fair. Gradually
the sails were enlarged. Then bright
spirit fastened s1edge runners directly
to the boat instead of mounting it on
a sled. And then-all at once one
man, preparing to cross the bay with
a mighty wind behind him, asked him
self why he should haul the boat at
ALL In that moment the scooter was
born.
Men are "scootering" for sport now,
ali over the Great South Bay from
Babylon to Moriches, but the sport is
not more than three years old, and the
scooter has not changed perceptibly
i'll model or rig from the original form
devised by the life savers for practical
and, often, grim work No doubt the
next few years will see a great evolu-
ton under the hands of the sports
man, for the scooter is surely destined
to become a craft of worldwide use
But at present it still is delightfully."-
and amazingly simple-nothing except
a fiat-bottomed, shallow boat shaped
like a ducking skiff, shod with a steel
or brass runner on each side of the
flat keel, and sailed with mainsail and
jib, the latter being used to steer the
craft, as, manifestly, it cannot carry a
tiller.

AzTEcs ARE A STRONG RACE.
AgaVe Plant Supplies Them With
Drink, Food and Clothing.


Drink, Food and Clothing.
Southern Wornmak-The Aztecs OF
old were not only great soldiers, but
also diligent cultivators of the soil, and
had acquired considerable proficiency
in agriculture, although they had 40
horses, oxen or other animals of draft.
To this day the men earn their nv1n9
chiefly as day labOrers in the fie1Gs
now owned by the Mexicans.
The staple product now, as of yore,
is the maize, and next to it the maquey
or agave, the sweet sap of which is
the principal material for the famous
Mexican pulque. Some species are
cultivated as vegetables, others for the
sake Of their leaves, which yield a
strong fiber that can be woven into
fabrics. Hence the saying that the
agave supplies the people with drink,
fodo and clothing. The men have
little ambition to excel in handicraft.
Farriery and carpentry are about the
only trades they care to take up. In
the cities they work as porters, car
riers or peddlers in a small way.
Like all southern Indians, their COM
plexion is of a rudy chocolate brown,
and they are not particularly good
looking. Most of the women now have
large hands and feet, probably the in
heritance of generations of hard work
ers. And they are strong. In the
warehouse of wine merchant an
Aztec porter was seen to take a cask
of claret on his back and carry it quite
a distance. The load certainly weighed
not less than 400 pounds, and no white
man would have thought of lifting it.
The law requires the people in the
cities to forsake the Indian breechcloth
and poncho and assume the regulation
garb Of the poor working class of Mex
ico-the wide, loose trousers of cotton
cloth or manta, with jacket to match
but the breechcloth is worn outside of
the trousers and thereby replaces the
civilized suspenders.
