WEALTH
FOR EVERYBODY

There are many facts about
the Canadian Northwest that
are not generally known. Some
OF them will show, in a small
way, what prospects are there,
ready for the pioneer farmer.
merchant and professional man.
The country embraces 2OO,-
100000 acres Of fertile prairie
land; there are still free home
steads for many millions of peo-
ple-all owners, no landlords or.
tenants; the farmers of one Sec
ton of the northwest cleared
over 1000 each on grain alone
in the year 1908.
The cost of growing one bush
el of wheat is SO cents and the
average crop is 20 bushels to
the acre. The average price in
the last fourteen years has been
65 cents, leaving Sc per acre
clear profit. The average yield
in the leading wheat growing
states of the United States was
IL >3-5 bushels to the acre in the
same period.
During the last five years
over $4,000 Americans have
settled in Canada. The total
amount Of cash now in their
hands, including their effects.
amounts to $23,00O,OOO.
The phenomenal increase in
the population of this section of
Canada has made the demand
for merchants and professional
men so great that their scarcity
has been serious at times. The
opportunities for merchants are
unbounded. Taken at the tide,
which is right now, one could
scarcely prevent abundant for
tune from overtaking him in
less than five years. America
never had such an overwhelm-
ing prospect for money-making
as the western part of British
Columbia holds out at this mo-
sment for the early comers.
This all-important considera-
tion is to break loose from the
old fogy notions of the present
times, bid the old pals farewell,
hurry to the Canadian North
west and settle there for five
years. At the end of that time
you will be able to go back
home on a visit and show one
substantial result of well-direct-
ed industry. Every day you
delay means several days later
in life when you will have ac-
quired your competence. One
day now means thousands of
dollars awhile later.

The Present Opportunities
Would Lead to Future
Fortunes.
NEWSPAPER, HOTEL
AND BANK NEEDED
Must Be Started Right Away
to Be Developed in
Time. \

There are opportunities right
now for business enterprises in
Port Simpson. A newspaper is
a necessity, and so are many
other lines Of business. Port
Simpson needs frst-class ship
.chandlery, a department store,
several stores Of other kinds. A
hotel is badly needed, as well
as a bank.
Thousands of men will be
needed for building the road,
the big warehouses, the docks
and mercantile houses. These
men will need clothing, food
and other necessities. Who will
supply them? You might as
well. Start now and in less
than five years you will be a
wealthy man.
The possibilities Of Port
Simpson harbor have been ex-
amined and recommended by
not only the Dominion govern
ment but by some of the great
est engineers and business men
in both Canada and America.
There is no town in any part
: of the continent that offers a
return on money invested that
will compare for an instant
with what is offered by Port
Simpson. It is the same old
story of another Seattle and it
is up to you to take advantage
of the situation.
Here is an example of what
you may expect from what
happened at Edmonton. Three
years ago lots were selling at
Edmonton, Alberta, for $3.50.
That was before the railroads
had reached the city. At that
time it was simply Hudson
Bay trading post and, while it
was one Of the leading in the
world, property values were
low because Of the lack Of
transportation.
Today those same lots are
selling for $4,000 and the city
is one Of the most progressive
of Canada. It is recognized as
the leading fur-trading center
Of the world. What caused the

coURTsHIP IN WIeWAM.
How the Canadian Indian Woes HI
Sweetheart.

How the Canadian Indian Woes His
sweetheart
AS there are no coy corners in a
wigwam, it is the Sauteaux custom
for maiden to converse with her suit
or under cover Of blanket, which
screens the young lovers from the gaze
of the other occupants Of the lodge.
But old Noo-koom, The Knowing One,
was well able to judge from the gen.
eral contour of the blanket Just how
the courtship was progressing. Early
in the evening the blanket always
hung in a dignifed way, as though
draped over two posts set little
apart Later, however, the posts often
lost their balance and swayed about in
such a manner as to come dangerously
near collision; and, If Noo-koom did
not cough or poke the fire, the blanket
would sometimes show that one sup
port had given way. One night, when
Noo-koom woke up from a nap, she
found that both the supports of the
blanket were in immediate danger Of
collapsing. Selling the headquarters
of a frozen fox by the ankles, she
leaped up and belabored the blanket
80 severely that 1t lost no time In re-
covering its proper form.
In a few days Noo-koom became
convinced that the lovers had sat I'M
der the blanket"-or been engaged
long enough. Now they must "sit to-
gether upon the brush"-or be mar
ried. Accordingly, she talked the mat
ter over with Standing Wolf and his
wife, Ko-ko-kay. They agreed with
the old woman. Ko-ko-kay called MI
mace in and told her that At-tick was
good boy, that he would certainly
make good hunter, and that, If she
would "sit upon the brush with him."
they would give her plenty Of marrow
grease for her hair and some porcu-
pine quils for her moccasins. They
might even buy her some ribbon,
beads and silk thread for fancy work.
Furthermore, her father would help
At-tick to secure enough moose skins
to make lodge covering. Mi-na-ce
chewed meditatively upon the large
piece Of spruce gum in her mouth
while she listened with averted eyes
and dropping head. Noo-koom, sup
posing the child to be in doubt, inter
posed.
You must sit upon the brush with
him, because have promised that you
would. Did we not eat the fat and the
blood, and use the f1rewood he left at
our door"
The remembrance of all that dainty
eating decided the child, and she gave
her word that she would sit upon the
brush with At-tick, If they would
promise to buy her bottle of perfume

Carelessness in Handling Medicines.
Patients have frequently placed a
bottle of medicine to their lips and ia
ken a draught of its contents in dark
room, under the impression that there
was "only one bottle upon that shelf"
when in reality some other member Of
the family had placed other bottles
there. In other instances a wife ris-
ing in the night to give some medicine
to her husband or child has picked up
the wrong bottle In the dim light and
administered a fatal dose.
Pneumonia.-The prevalence with
which this most deadly virulent bac-
terial disease shall attain, will depend
chiefly upon the kind Of care people
take of themselves. Those who strive
to keep in good general health need
have little fear Of It. Drunkenness Is
foremost among the habits Of mankind
that aid in the propagation Of pneu-
monia. Over-eating is another form Of
intemperance which makes people fall
its easy victims. Failure to battle fire.
Quently and breathing through the
mouth increases the liability of con-
tracing the disease. Overheated
houses are the cause of many cases.
If the rule were generally adopted Of
never letting the temperature Of the
house or office exceed 20 degrees much
less pneumonia would result.
Smallpox.-This loathsome disease
often makes its appearance with cold
weather. The following is said to be
a cure: One grain solid extract Of
digitalls, one grain sulphate Of zinc,
one-half teaspoonful Of sugar, four
ounces Of water. Dissolve the digitalis
and the zinc separately, then COM
pound the prescription. 1t is Of the
utmost Importance that the solid ex-
tract Of digitalis be used. Some drug
glsts say there is no such thing and
use the liquid, but this Is valueless.
The liquid does not produce the re-
suits. The dose is one teaspoonful ev-
cry hour for twelve consecutive hours,
for adults; for child under ten one
half teaspoonful hourly for twelve
hours and for an infant ten drops ev-
cry hour for the twelve hours. The
face may be bathed with it thus pre-
venting scars. The digitalis kills the
germ Of the disease and the zinc puri-
fles the blood. The preparation must
be taken with care, as it is very pow
arful
