ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Returns for the
Year 1906.

The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers In recent
years has caused many Of our journals
and public men to sit up and take no
tice," to use a current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
number Of settlers have iocked to the
prairie provinces of Canada, where
free homesteads and wide opportun-
tiles are open to all who desire to
avail themselves of them.
The greatest factor in attracting
settlers lies in the inherent richness
Of soil and suitability of climate for
producing what is universally consid-
cred to be the finest wheat in the
world-the mo. / Hard" Of Canadian
growth-and other cereals that rank
in the very first class. This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat, 3d.
00O, 900 bushels; oats, 76,00O,0 900 BUSH
els; barley, 100000 900 bushels; and
when it is considered that the entire
population Of the three p~rovinces-as
evidenced by the quinquennial census
just completed-is only $4,000, it is
easily seen that the lure OF the Cana
dian West is in its agricultural poten-
tialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district Is within easy
reach of outside markets, and that
good prices for all lines Of farm prod
ucts rule practically from the com-
mencement of agricultural operations.
This is a factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements In the
West were made in Canada and In the
United States, and has given a great
impetus to Canadian Western settle
ment in recent years.
The free grant system of home
steads which prevails in the prairie
provinces, by which every settler who
is able and willing to comply with the
conditions Of actual settlement (by no
9 onerous) is given 100 acres
free, except $40 for entry, is a great
drawing card, and in the last fiscal
| year gathered in over $4,000 addi-
tional to the western population, Of
which 57,796 were from the United
| States.
The further fact, as is strongly
brought about by the agent Of the
Canadian Government, whose address
appears elsewhere, that a splendid
common school system, practically
free, prevails throughout the entire
country, and is easy Of acces in even
the most remote districts, is another
great inducement to the settler who
has the future welfare Of his family
In mind, and this, coupled with the
fact that western Canadian law and
order are proverbial, completes a
circle Of good and sufficient reasons
why the tide of immigration has set
In so steadily toward the country to
the north Of our boundary line.

VISION o W SON DEAD.
Italian Mothers Dream Followed by
Discovery OF Body.

A strange case of telepathy in con-
nection with a murder is arousing
much interest in Milan, Italy. A wo-
man named Lazzaroni awoke sudden
ly at three O'Clock the other morning,
and calling her son John, who lives
in her house, told him that his
younger brother, Leopold, living in
the outskirts of the town, was dead
The mother was deeply affected,
but John tried to comfort her by as
cribing her fears to a bad dream. At
dawn, however, Leopold Lazzaroni, a
handsome and strong young man, the
owner of a dairy, was found dead at
a spot some distance from his dwell.

Last year I suffered with a tremen-

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great

of Chicago, have been making in
order to give the people of West
Hammond a sewer system that
needs pumping station to move the
house sewage. James Healy is in
first place and Lavene Bros. a sec
ond, with Attorney McAleer in the
saddle. Green Bros. are out of the
race.
Lavene Bros, who had the best of
the situation until Healy began in
junction proceedings in Judge Cav
anaugh's court on the grounds that
he put in a lower bid by nearly
$4,000 than did Lavene Bros, and
that the bids were juggled in the
hands of the village attorney, Mark
man, after they had been opened at
the village hall in the afternoon of
August g.
The contract was awarded to La
vene Bros. by the board of public
improvements on the ground that
Lavene Bros. were more reliable
than Healy, although the latter has
produced more than dozen recon-
mendations from cities in Illinois
where he has worked
The board of public works does
not quite know where it stands in
the question, and is trying things
by posting the change that has
been made in the contractors.
If Lavene Bros. carry out theil
threat the question will go to the
appellate court, which means thai
the work may be delayed for more
than a year.
At any rate the people Of Wes
Hammond will not be disappointed
if the whole thing falls through, a

meet the needs of the villagers.

circumstances under which the ar
rest were made created one of the
most revolving scenes ever witnessed
on the streets of Hammond. officer
Borchert. who had him in tow, was
hardly able to manage him, despite
the enormous strength that it ae-
credited to him. Max fought as
though possessed with Internal power
but the climax came in front of the
station where the drunk made his
most obstinate stand. People along
Holman street lined up to watch the
sight, and women who We're among
the spectators were horrifed when
they heard the officers club resound
on Mak's head repeatedly. giving a
duh thud with each blow. It was
the only means that the officer had
to master the unruly brute who, in
his fit Of anger completely ripped
the cloth in the officers trousers.
Max was finally put behind the bars
and there in his drunken frenzy,
invoked every being, real and imag-
mary TO take revenge on Borchert.
