The People who attempt to get rich
quickly by putting their money in
wildcat schemes have been getting
some hard lessons lately. If investors
would stop TO consider that if the de-
ceivers who cOncoct these schemes
and foist them upon the public had
one-tenth part Of the paying invest
ments they advertise so literally they
would under no conditions part with
the stock and fewer lambs would be
shOrn. A really good and profitable
business does not need to advertise
the sale Of the stock to any great ex-
tent. as it viii sell itself, and there
are always plenty Of shrewd investors
willing and ready to purchase. It is a
case OF investors seeking the invest
ment, not Of investment seeking the

ANOTHER RECORD ~ LAND
HUNTING.
This Springs Exodus 90 Canada
Greater Than Ever.

This Springs Exodus 90 Canada
Greater Than Ever.
Il was thought in 1903, when over
forty-hTe thousand people went from
the United States to Canada, that the
limit OF the yearly immigration to
the wheat zone Of the Continent had
been reached. But when In 1904
about as large q number Of Ameri-
can citizens signfhed their intention
Of becoming settlers on Canadian
lands, the general public we're pre-
pared for the announcement Of large
numbers in 1905. No surprise there
fore viii be caused when it is made
known that predictions Of fully fifty
thousand more in 1905 are warranted
IN the fact that the Spring movement
CanadaWard is greater than 1t has
ever been. The special trains from
Omaha, Chicago, St. Paul, Detroit,
and other gateBays has been crowd
ed Many have gone to join friends
and relatives who have prepared
homes for them and others have gone
relying upon their own resources, sat
fsfied 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 extend
ing 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 desiring to home
stead on the one hundred and 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 viii give a good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels Of wheat to the acre and thir-
ty to fifty bushels Of corn to the acre,
the lands Of Western Canada at seven
20 ten dollars an acre, producing
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 are millions Of acres
Of such land in Western Canada in
addition TO the other millions that
are considered to be portion of the
biggest and best ranges that ever in
Tited the cattle and horse producer
Of the North American continent.
What IS particularly evident in West
eTn Canada is the fact that the wheat
lands, adjoining the grazing lands,
make farming particularly agreeable
and profitable. The agents Of the
Canadian Government, who are al
ways willing to give information and
advice to intending settlers, say that
the acreage put under crop this sea-
son is greatly in excess Of last sea-
son.

francesca had drawn a little away
from him, and looking at her closely,
he noticed that the brightness Of tears
was in her eyes, and the pink quite
gone from the delicate curving cheek.
He had never seen her that way be-

swept over him.

the light from pretty, rOse-skirted car

Ashleigh gave his attention to some
accounts he had brought up from the

A half hour passed, and firing of her
music, she went over to the fireplace
and threw herself into a prOdigious
leather chair that almost swallowed
her up. She stretched out the tips of
her slippered feet to the brass fend-

and purple Goals with musing eyes.
After awhile, Ashleigh put aside his

down beside her, laying one Of his
