ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Return fos the
Year Ioo9.


Magnificent Crop Return for the
Year Iees.
The manner In which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers In recent
years has caused many Of our JOUR
mails and public men 10 SIT up and take
notice, to use curreat phrase. Ercm
every European couRtry and from a.
most every State In the Union large
numbers of settlers bave aocked 20 the
prairie provinces Of Canada. where
free homesteads and Wide epportuni-
ties are open to all who desire to avail
themselves of them.
The greatest factor In attracting set
tiers lies In the inherent richness OF
soil and suitability Of climate for pro-
ducing what is universally considered
to be the finest wheat In the world
the "No. I hard" OF Canadian growth
ana other cereals that rank In the very
first class. This year the harvest re-
turns were: Wheat, 9O,000.O00 BUSH
els; oats, 76,OO0,O00 bushels; barley,
100000 bushels: and when 1t ts cen
sidered that the entire population OF
the three provinces-as evidenced BY
the quiquenniai census just completed
lis only $4,000, II Is easily seen that
the lure of the Canadian West Ii In It's
agricultural potentialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction II
proceeding with such rapldity that al
most every district Is within easy reach
of outside markets, and that good
prices for all lines of farm products
rule practically from the commence
ment Of agricultural operations. This
Is factor which az not prevail vixen
the earlier settiemeats In the West
were made In Canada and In the Unit
ed states, and has given q great I'm
petus to Canadiaa Western settiement
IN recent years.
The free grant syseea Of hemestea1s
which prevails In the prairie provinceS
By which every setter who Is able and
willing to comply with the conditions
OF actual settlement (by no means on
erous) 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 additional to the West
ern population, Of which 57,796 were
from the United States.
The further fact as Is strongly
brought out by the agent of the Cana
dian Government. whose address APP
pears elsewhere, that splendid COM
mon school system, practically free. pre-
walls throughout the entire country,
and is easy Of access In even the most
remote ditfricts, is another great in
ducement 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 circle OF good
and sufficient reasons why the tide OF
immigration has set In so steadily to-
ward the country to the north OF ouS
boundary line.

GARDEN.

In the garden where flowers and fol- iage plants gathered from the woods and fields are grown, natural condit- ions should be initiated as nearly as possible. Most of the earliest wild flowers prefer some shade. There is no better way of providing this than by planting them in a rockery. It can be built of q few loads Of weather stained stones, arranged in a mound, leaving recesses of various sizes for pockets in which to put soil and plants.
 As in a bed, the soil for the plants should be thoroughly enriched with well-rOted manure or some commercial fertilizer. The flowers should be care fully watered until they are well estab- lished The rOckery may be made beautiful with a score of plant and ferns that grow in the woods even near the largest cities, only waiting some one who cares enough to dig them up.
 The columbines, Iiverworts. saXi- fragas gentains, mayapples. violetS and many hardy ferns, including the beautiful maiden hair. are widely dis trfbuted. Spring flowers which do well in the sun are bluebells, buttercups and spring beauties. Before the spring flowers have ceased to bloom the sum- mer wild flowers are beginning. The wild rose blooms in May and June and is followed by the oX-eye daisy and butterfly milkweed. Then comes a host

GONE TO DOUGLAS.

Dr. c. H. Ellis, of the Salt River reservation, was here Tuesday and left that evening to attend the Presbyte- rian convention which convenes in Douglas the latter part of this week and the first of next. Dr. Ellis went day or two early in order to have time for a visit with the Indian mis- sion at Tucson. He says that the Salt River reservation Indians are in a prosperous condition, considering the shortage of water. That trouble, how ever, is partly remedied. for the In- dian nave opened up an old canal that was in use some thirty years ago. and they are now getting a fairly good supply of water through it.

Councilmen Rabbit Hawley and Lewis answered to roll call: also Marshal Burton. Clerk Kelley. Street Supervisor Harsley and Town Attor- ney Bullard.
 The mayors desk was loaded down
 with apples, nuts, candy, and d box of cigars-the mayors treat to his col leagues and to the considerable num-
 Der of tax payers present.
 Marshal BurtOn's bond was approv-
 ed and filed, and Clerk Kellys bond
 as treasurer, of $2,OOO. was approved and an additional bond of $1,0OO or dered. as the report showed about $2,50O in the treasurer's possession.
 Charles Peterson, J. L. Waring and
 Dr. Drane were present as a commit tee from the chamber of commerce. and asked that the council take steps
 to see that the north plaza be i'm proved and kept up in good condition The council referred the matter to the street committee with power to act.
 Five bids for street sprinkIing were opened and read, as follows: J. T. Li- U. A.
 man, $S7.50 per month; Isaac Dana, $50 per month; Lew Trimble. $50 per | month; J. w. Harsley, $7O per month Action was deferred until regular l meeting in May.

 a. m. and 4 o'clock p. m, in order that clerks and employees be given oppor- | tunity to rest and attend church. Such
 an agreement, he said, had been sign ed by the business men, but one man had baked, thus compelling others to keep open or lose trade. | Roy Gibbons followed in support of
 such an ordinance, but afterward | qualified his speech by saying he re- | ferred more particularly to heavy
 merchandising, handling of freight, | etc, and not to meat markets and so- da fountains.
 | EX-Mayor WarinE favored the ordi- | nance, but thought meat markets should be exempted. as many people did not have ice and meat would not
 keep over Sunday during the summer months.

Yesterday it was hitched up to a beet cultivation and put in a field of beets. Apparently the animal has a strong dislike for those plants, for he not only refused to work, but destroyed as many beets as possible in a short space of time. It required three men to handle the horse, and by the time ne had completed his work of devasta- tiOn the cultivatOr was a total wreck
