It is up to the railroads then. If a Brotherhood man refuses to obey the orders of his superintendent or chief he is expelled forthwith. We say to all engineers: Do as you are told. If it is something you think you shouldn't do make complaint to us. We shall investigate the matter, and if you are in the right we shall stand by you. However, if you are guilty of in- subordlnation you are outside of your rights and must leave the Broother- hood.'
 Moreover we live up to all of our contracts. In the fall of 1904 the en- gineers on the elevated roads and in the subway of New York had trouble. got settlement which gave the men $3.50 for nine hours on the elevated lines and ten hours with fifteen minu- tes lay-over in the subway. In fiya months the engineers, some four hun- dred in all, quit without saying a word to the Brotherhood. They violated their contract and I suspended all of them. Now they are working ten hours for SS. This incident Illustrates our business principles and methods of dis cipline as well as the advantages of our organization. ."-James B.

Most people who have visited the ia

Of the devil bird. This awe inspiring
sound resembles nothing so much as

ralists have identified ii with the brown

But the devil bird, or ulama. as the
Cingalese call it, is an elusive creature.
and no one has had the good fortune To
kill or catch Il specimen. The C'inga-
lese--naturally a superstitious race
regard the cry of this bird with the ut
most horror. they believe that its
scream heard at night prcsages the

the habit of Offering sacrifices, To avert

UP THE cANAp!ANwEsT
The American settler j. Welcomed

w
to Canada.
A number of the leading newspapers
on this side of the line have been no.
tcing the growth of the Canadian
West In recent years. and draw atten-
ton to the fact that there seems to be
no abatement of the influx of settlers
to that great graingrowing country.
The Buffalo Express thus refers to the
subject:
Canada West continues to grow.
There were 4,174 homesteads entries
there in July of this year. as against
3,51l in July, 1905. Canada plumes
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 % Canadians who re-
crossed the border to take up homes
in Canada West, Of Of the sos from
Great Britain, or Of the 1926 from
non-British countries. 1t appears that
the item in this July report that makes
Canada rejoice most is this of the 1872
American farmers who decided to try
their fortunes in Canada West.
1.-THE compliment is deserved. The
1.2l2 were mostly from Dakota and
other farming States, and 90 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
thnre.'
AS the Express we'll 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-
lions that prevail in the Canadian prai
RTE 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
settler. He knows what is required tc
bring success, and he is able and VIII
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 ON
tario tiller Of the soil. Hence the vel
come to the free homesteads OF the
Canadian West (and there are hun
dreds Of thousands Of them left that
