The Sunny u

Now when all outdoor farm work
has ceased in the north, the term
sunny south" and all that it means,
appeals with full force to the northern
farmer as he realizes that with him
it is a ase of remaining indoors for
the next several months consuming
everything that has been produced
during the growing season. In the
sunny south" something can be
raised every month in the year, and
practically every day can be spent out
doors. No billiards.. No s~unStrokes.
Cattle-raising is very profitable Large
profits are made with little labor in
growing fruits, vegetables, etc, for
northern markets. Strawberries and
cantaloupes are great revenue getters.
Water unsurpassed. Work plentiful.
Lands cheap and productive. For re
liable information, address G. A. Park,

Agent, Louisville & Nashville Railroad

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

The amer 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 flocked 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 nc. l Hard" of Canadian
growth-and other cereals that rank
in the very first class. This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat, 3d.
600, 1000 bushels; oats, 10000, 900 bush
els; barley, 10000 600 bushels; and
when it is considered that the entire
population of the three provinces-as
evidenced by the ~quinquennial census
just cOmpleted-is only $1,000, 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
provinces, by which every settler who
is able and willing to comply with the
conditions of actual settlement (by no
means onerous) is given 100 acres
free, except SO for entry, is a great
drawing card, and in the last fiscal
' Sdl SdILlCISo III OfCL IOC,NOO oLul
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 access 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.

TORTURED WITH ECZEMA.
Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body
Scratched Until BIed-Wonder-
full Cure by Cuticura.

Last year [ suffered with a tremen-
dous itching OF my back, which grew
worse and worse, until it spread over
the whole body, and only my face and
hands were free. For four months or
so l suffered tormentS, and l had to
scratch, scratch, scratch, until l bled.
At night when l went to bed things
got worse, and l had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until
l was as sore as could be, and until |
suffered eX~cruciating pains. They told
me that 1 was suffering from eczema.
Then l made up my mind that l would
use the Cuticura Remedies. l used
them according to instructions, and
very Don indeed I was greatly re-
lieved. 1 continued until we'll, and
now 1 am ready to recommend the Gu
ticUra Remedies to any one. Mrs.

Laundry work at home would be
much satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness 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 its great
Ell strength than other makes.

FOREST SERVICE
MAKES REP0R[

BOISE, Dec. 21.-Two interesting re-
ports have been compiled by the Office
force of the forest service at Boise
which were forwarded to-day to the
department at Washington-the fire
report for the season Of 1906 and the
report of free use permits granted by
the rangers on duty. to the settlers.
In making up the first report the
fires were divided into three classes
A, B and c. The first are incipient
camp fires which are easily subduod
by rangers patrolling the reserves.
the second, larger fire, extinguished
without calling for help; the third,
serious fires requiring the employment
of help outside of tho service
In the Payette reserve there were SO
fires of class A. 3. and c. Causes
lightning, II; unknown, 10: carless-
area burned over, 1854 acres; estima-
ted timber destroyed, 4.S76.00O feet;
approximate value, s3,725; cost Of la
Dor in extinguishing $713.5O; supplies
to firemen, s2O6.67. Total cost, includ-
ing value of lumber destroyed, $4,-
645.17.
In the Sawtooth reserve there were
20 fires of class A; class B. l.: class
c, S. Causes-Lightning 10. unknown
tn
tai area burned over, TIT acres; esti-
mated timber destroyed, $4,000 feet;
approximate value, $3.50; cost of labor
in extinguishing $376.25; supplies to
firemen, $115.5S. Total cost, including
value of timber destroyed, $741.S3. All
of the serious fires were caused by
| lightning.
| Major Fem recommends that a
larger force be maintained on patrol
duty during the season, which would
result in materially reducing the de-
struction of fires, enabling the service
to get to work before much territory
became involved.
| The report cOmmendS the eWclent
service given by permit holders in the
reserves in assisting to extinguish fires
and refers to the fact that since the
reserves were created the destruction
from fires has been but a small per
centage of that obtaining when there
was no systematic protection.
Nearly all of the destruction was
| caused by ground fires, which were
successfully combatted by back firing.
A few crown frs occurred in lodge
pole pine and Alpine fir, in the higher
attitudes.

TO HATCH FISH

Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.--It will be
remembered that Congressman French
introduced a bill in the house during
the last session Of congress providing
for an appropriation of $4,000 for a
fish hatchery in Idaho. He received a
favorable report on his bill from the
committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries, to which 1t was referred,
but the rush of work in congress dur
ing the last session on account of the
many important matters, prevented
the bill from being considered.
However, as this is a part Of the
same session of congress, the previous
report secured by Mr.. Frehch Is still
before the house, and 1t will not be
necessary for another bill to be In.
PRODUCED or another report secured to
entitle the bill to consideration at this
session of congress. Mr.. French will
make an effort to have his bill passed
soon after the holidays. and says he
has good hopes of succeeding. The
people of Idaho are greatly interested
in stocking the rivers. streams ana
lakes of the state with fish, says Mr..
French. and he has received a great
many requests for fish with which to
stock these streams. In all cases they
have been secured.

The king and queen of England will
spend the Yuletide at Sandringnan1
and the Christmas dinner will be
served with most of the traditional In
cidents. In the first week of January
the king and queen will be guests of
the Duke and Duchess Of Devonshire
at Chatsworth. Several days will be
devoted to shooting and some theatre
cal performances are in preparation.
These will take the form of a bur-
lesque and extravaganza, in which
Mrs. Willie James. Miss Muriel VIII
son. Lady Abingdon, Lord Duncannon
and probably Princess Henry of Pless
will join. In addition several variety
artists will be engaged to contribute to
the program.
At Chatsworth the old customs as
ISOLATED with Christmas will be OBJ
served and the season made an occa-
sion OF family reunion. The Christ
mas gifts form gorgeous display not
soon forgotten. Not only is every
guest favored but the house staff and
the servants also are pleasantly re-
membered. The servants hall is cheer
lily decorated and a very jovial party of
well over one hundred servants keep
ers. stablemen, gardenerers, etc, sit
down to dinner for workmen. on the
estate. In the villages for several
miles around Chatsworth there are few
homes that are not more or less de-
pendent upon the duke for their means
Of livelihood. These share In the ducal
bounty, while the poor also are able to
look forward to a god Christmas din
ner. The children Of the villages are
invited from each village in turn to
the great house.
