FactOry Wiped Cut and Town Is in
Ruins from Blast.

A roburit factory, situated close to the
southwest of Dortmund, Germany blew
ur the other evening and was wiped
from the face Of the earth. 1t is esti-
mated that 500 persons were killed or
wounded. but the exact number has not
been ascertained.
The work of rescue was offended with
the greatest danger from tie possibility
of renewal of the explosions. The
accident occurred at about 8 80 a'clock.
There were two tremendous detonations,
heard throughout the entire surrounding
Industrial region. which is thickly set
tied. The Inhabitants of the neighbor-
hood fed in panic, fearing further ex.
blossoms.
The town of Amen is nothing more
than heap of ruins Houses were shat
tered right and left and no house escaped
injury.

composed of saltpetcr, ammonia, sulphur
and other ingredients 1t is not easily

MAY REPLACE FRISCO.
Thousands Have FIocked from
Stricken City to Seattle.

Stricken City TO Seattle.
Seattle is beginning to believe that il
is her destiny to become the greatest city
of the Pacific coast. After the deStruc-
ton of San Francisco an invitation was
extended to the stricken people to come
and make their homes here until the de-
stroyed city could be rebuilt. Transpor
tation and temporary homes were furnish
ed for those who desired to coSe. The
result is entirely unexpected. Instead
of making a temporary abiding place Of
Seattle, the California people have be.
come enamored of that city and there
are hundreds of them who will never re-
turn to San Francisco.
This has resulted IN a great boom for
Seattle. The population is growing with
wonderful strides and the commercial
development is unprecedented. Many of
the great shipping interests of San Fran,
cisco have transferred their headquarters
to Seattle and it is an actual fact that
the railroads, many of them, are quite
unable to handle the great volume OF
business that has come to them.
The railroads are realizing that Sc
attic has a great future and an evidence
of their faith is the big extensions that
are being made and the heavy purchases
in the open market of the necessary land
for terminal facilities.
Seattle people have had their troubles
with this unexpected boom. Hundreds
of the wealthy people of San Francisco
who came to Seattle after tie earthquake
and fire, Immediately set about procuring
homes for themselves and they have
bought houses that were always used for
renting purposes and have practically
forced the natives to make extraordinary
efforts to shift for themselves Rent.
have almost doubled and it is next to
impossible to secure a house at all.

Impossible to Get Employment, as
Face and Body Were Covered with
Sores-Cured by Cuticura.
Since the year 1894 J have been
troubled with very bad case of
eczema which l have spent hundreds
of dollars trying to cure, and ! went
to the hospital, but they failed TO cure
me, and it was getting worse all the
time. Five weeks ago my wife bought
a box of Cuticura Ointment and one
cake OF Cuticura Soap, and am
pleased to say that | am now COM
pletely cured and well. 1t was impos-
sible for me to get employment, as my
face, head and body were covered with
it, The eczema first appeared on the
top of my head, and it had worked all
the way around down the back of my
neck and around to my throat, down
my body and around the hips. 1t itched
so l would be obliged to scratch it.,
and the flesh was raw. | am now all
well, and | will be pleased to recon-
mend the Cuticura Remedies to all per-
sons who wish a speedy and perma-
nent cure Of skin diseases. Thomas

FILLING UP THE CANADIAN WEST
The American settler Is Welcomed
to Canada.

The American settler Is Welcomed
TO Canada.
A number of the leading newspapers
on this side Of the line have been no.
ticing the growth OF the Canadian
West in recent years, and draw atten-
ton 20 the fact that there seems to be
no abatement Of the influx of settlers
to that great grain-growing country.
The Buffalo Express thus refers TO the
subject:
"Carada West continues to grow.
There were Alta homesteads entries
there in July OF this year, as against
3,571 in July, 1905. Canada plumcs
herself over this fact with becoming
pride. But what appears to make our
neighbors happiest is the statement
that of these ALA homesteaders 1,212
were from this side OF the line. Little
Is said about the 81 Canadians who re-
crossed the border to take up homes
In Canada West, of of the sos from
Great Britain, Or Of the 1,236 from
non-British countries. 1t appears that
the item in this July report that makes
Canada rejoice most is this of the 1,2l2
American farmers who decided to try
their fortunes in Canada West
1.-THE compliment is deserved. The
1912 were mostly from Dakota and
other farming States, and go into Can
ada fitted better than any other class
of immigrants for developing the new
country. They take capital with them.
too, say Canadian papers proudly. In
every way they are welcome over
there"
AS the Express well says, the Amer
lean is welcomed to Canada, and the
reasons given are sufficient to invite
the welcome. The American farmer
knows thoroughly the farming condi-
tons that prevail in the Canadian prai-
rie provinces, and is aware Of every
phase of agricultural development in
recent years. In practical knowledge
OF what is wanted to get the largest
return for labor and investment he Is
by long odds superior to any European
settler. He knows what is required to
bring success, ard he is able and will
ing to do it, and his future causes no
apprehension to the successful Cana
dian farmer.
The agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, whose address appears else
where, says that the difference be-
tween the manners and customs OF the
farmer from Dakota, Oregon or Min
nesota and the farmer from Manitoba.
Saskatchewan or Alberta is not nearly
so marked as that between the farmer
OF the Maritime provinces and the Un-
tario tiller Of the soil. Hence the well
come to the free homesteads of the
Canadian West Cane there are hun
dreds Of thousands Of them left that
Is extended to the settler from the
Western States.
