Close Eleotion..

The closeness of the Presiden.
tial elections in the United States
from 1876 to 1895 is the subject OF
very interesting table which ie
gotten up by the New York World,
showing that with the exception OF
1892. a change of twenty thousand
votes or less might have elected
the defeated candidate.
According to the Worlds figures.
in the disputed election of 1876,
laying aside the question of the
commissions unfairness, change
of 53S votes would have given Til
den the electoral votes of Nevada.
In 1880 General Hancock was
defeated through lukewarmness uf
Tsmmany's support. A change
of 105l7 votes would have given
him New York's electoral vote,
snd would have defeated Garfield.
New York was again the pivotal
state in 1884. when Cleveland oar
ried it by 1,194 If 575 votes had
been turned to Blaine, the Maine
statesman would have become
President.
Four years later New York went
for Harrison. but if 6.5O2 persons
who voted for Harrison. had
scratched him and supported Cleve
land, the latter would have suo.
ceeded himself.
In 1892, Cleveland got 277 and
Harrison 145 electoral votes, yet in
spite of this wide difference, a
change of 1880 votes would have
given Harrison the states of Cali.
fornia. New Jersey and Wisconsin
and elected him
Mckinley bad lead of 95 cleo
toral votes over Bryan in 1896, yet
a change of 1874 votes in Califor.
mia, 9.O02 in Indiana. 1.O59 in
Oregon, 142 in Kentucky, 1916 in
Delaware. and 5.744 in West Vir
ginia, or 1921 in the six states
would have elected Bryan.
When it is shown that upon
suoh a small number of votes may
depend the result of national
election. the necessity of every pre-
caution to prevent corruption at
the pole, and to insure as nearly
as possible fair declaration of
the will of the people is apparent

continent. This scheme embraces
an area of some 5000, 900 acres
lying east of Clagary between the
Bow River and the Red Deer
River. OF this area the company
expects to be able to supply water
to lrrigate about 1900, 900 acres.
Canals have already been COM
pleted which are capable of furn-
lshing water for irrigating 10,
600 acres.
The district comprised within
this irrigation block is at the
present time the largest unoccu-
pied block of good land in the
West, and with the introduction
of the irrigation system, win af-
ford a first-class opportunity for
ranchman who desire to obtain
ranges for grazing purposes, to
which are attached lands on
which fodder may be raised every
year by irrigation. It viii also
attract the immigrant who de-
sires to obtain a small holding
where he can combine ranching
on a small scale with dairy or
mixed farming.
Many individual owners or ranch
companies have undertaken irri-
cation of their own land, and
there are some large corporations
carrying on the work on a large
scale The Calgary Irrigation
Company has 35 miles of main
ditch to the west of Calgary, and
the Alberta Railway and Irriga-
ton Company, with headquarters
at Lethbridge, have constructed
I30 miles of ditch. AS result a
prosperous beet sugar factory has
been established at Raymond, and
three good settlements have
sprung up
The number of immigrants into
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta has been increasing steadily
for the last few years, a marked
feature being the number of set
tiers from Great Britain, Ireland
and the United States. The official
figures for the years, July 1, 1900,

To Stop The Galoots.

There ought to be a law against
some of our young galoots spark
ing and carrying before they have
out all their teeth. Nine.tenths OF
the unhappy marriages are the
result of green human calves being
allowed to run at large in the So
ciety pastures without yokes on
them. They marry and have
children before they have mus
taches; they are the father OF twins
before they are the proprietor OF
two pairs of pants. Time enough
for these young bantams when
they have raised money enough to
buy bundle of lathes to bnild q
hen house. But they see a cun.
ming girl and are afraid there are
not going to be enough to go around
and before they are aware they are
hitched for life.-Ronoeverte

On that bright and happy shore.
Her name with US will linger
While we are here below;
Our hearts are filled with sadness
And tears of sorrow flow.
She has left this world OF trouble
For better home above;
She has gone to live with Jesus
Where all is peace and love.
