for the support Of the work.
The receiving home on Brunswick aye
nue., with its five employees, is merely in
cidental, for the temporary care of the
little children while waiting to be placed
in family homes.
Every county in the State is now or
ganized and has contributed homeless
children and Christian homes. The feld
workers cover about 60,000 miles of
travel q year in the prosecution Of the
work.
The work is growing larger every
year and therefore more expensive. The
first year. the expenses were $3,44I.09
Last year. closing with the 1st Of jane,
1905, the expenses were $1O,47s.02. The
present year the expenses will reach
nearly $4,000. or at the rate Of $1,000
per month
1t is supported wholly by voluntary
contributions, with no state or county
aid whatever, although the society is
saving the taxpayers of the state a
mucr larger sum each year by keep.ns
these homeless children out of the aims
houses and from the criminal ranks; and
this account is steadily increasing year
by year.

The estate of the receiving home COM
prises eight acres of ground, barn
and tenant house occupied by the fam

have been paid on this property over

to pay all obligations and to put it in
frst-class shape. All of this in addition
to the current expenses for carrying on
the work. We therefore urgently in

MERELY
MENTIONED

With the Fagan administration at his
back Street and Water Commissioner
Andrew Knox went into the contest for
President of the Fremont Club, the most
influential Republican organization in
the Hudson City section, confident of
victory. Judge Frederick Frambach was
the choice of the stalwart Republicans
the Republicans who have year after
year gone down with the party to defeat
and who helped it win its victories of
the past few years. He had no pat
ronage to bestow and the only argument
advanced in his interest was that he was
a loyal Republican who had on tie in
terest of the party at heart and not the
advancement of a certain faction. His
friends as well as Republicans who be
lieve in party organization, and who do
not approve the policy of giving jobs to
Democrats when Republicans ought To
have them, rallied to his support.

Friends of Mayor Pagan are telling
him that he cannot affort to make the
fight for first vice president of the Coun-
ty Committee under existing eircum-
stances. They point out to him that un-
less fraudulent tactics are resorted to he
cannot possibly hope for success and that
if he were TO accept an office that did
not come to him in an honorable manner
it would set the people thinking. AS the
situation now stands the Dickinson
organization has a majority Of clcse to
one hundred. The only way the vote can
be reduced is by issuing credentials to
persons who have no right to them. Such
tacics are practiced by politicians and not
by men who have the fear of God in
their hearts.

Already the Fagantes are talking of
seeding from the Fremont Club and

they can't rule they can at least ruin,

A New Canadian Stnte.

Alberta is a brand new state. 1t was a
part of the northwest territory until last
September, but it now has governor of its
own and has members in the Canadian Par
lament The province has an area of 230Oo
square miles. 1t begins with Montana and
runs north through eleven degrees of lati-
tude. Its western boundary is along the
line of the Rocky mountains. and on the
east it is bounded by Saskatchewan The
province is about 400 miles wide at the CEN
ter and 1t is ego miles long.
The southern part OF Alberta is devoted
to ranching. The country there is dry,
grows rich grasses, horses and cattle.
Many of the stock farms are owned by
Americans, who have winter residences at
Medicine Hat and Calgary. The central
part of the province is given up to mixed
farming. 1t is largely settled along the
lines OF the railroads, and the whole of this
part has been opened to homesteading The
northern part is said to be good, but so far
the only settlements are along the Peace
river, and these are few and far between.
They chiefly consist of Hudson's Bay posts
and Indian settlements, at some of which
are mission stations. the missionaries rails
ing wheat.

Alberto New Canadian Province just East OF the Rocky Mountain

The most of our immigrants come from
the British isles and from Germany, Scan
dinavia and Iceland. We have also Cali
clans. They come from Austria Hungary,
and might be called Austrian Poles. These
men are thrifty, and, although they are ig-
norant they will in time make good citi-
zens. They are not satisfied until their
farms are broken and well stocked. The
average Canadian pioneer sees first after
his physical comforts. He puts up good
house and then tries to pay for 1t. The
Galician is satisfied with few logs daubed
with mud. He uses this until he has paid
for his farm. His whole family aids him.

fields, as we'll as the men, Every dollar is
saved and IT is is only when the family has
gotten ahead that 1t builds a good home"
But do the Galicians make good citi-
zens?'
Yes, they want to get as far away from
Europe as possible. They take out natur-
alization papers, they send their children to
the Canadian schools and make them learn
English. Many of the Galicians buy lands
as soon as they get little ahead. although
they often have to borrow money to pay
for the seed for their first crop. They are
good citizens"

Western Canada Climate.

I am surprised at the climate of this
part of Canada. 1t is as mild that of
our central states for the greater part of
the winter The coolest part of Canada Is
farther eastward. About Winnipeg the
Thermometer frequently falls to 20 degrees
below zero, and the coon-slSn coat is in
evidence from November till May. Here
the weather is tempered by the warm
winds which blow over the Rockies 1t is
heated by the Japanese current to such an
extent that 1t keeps British Columbia and
Washington green the year round and
takes the edge Off the cold of Edmonton
and Calgary. Edmonton is in latitude "a.
1t is several hundred miles south of St.
Petersburg and in what the Europeans
think the heart of the temperate zone.
Indeed the bulk of progressive Europe
lies north of the forty-ninth parallel, which
forms our northern boundary. All the Brit
'ish isles, Holland Belgium, Scandinavia, a
large part of France, two-thirds of Ger
many, and about three-fourths of European
Russia are north of that parallel. st. Peters
burg, for instance, is hundreds of miles
north of Winnipeg, which is In the latitude
of Paris. Berlin is also far higher up on
the globe. Western Europe is kept warm
by the gulf stream. Similar influences
warm Edmonton but they come from the
Japanese current and are moderated con-
siderably by the wide stretch of mountains
which they must cross before they reach
here.

But the day of the dress rehearsal came
at last and then the little people all caught
the spirit. The figures and scenes that had
seemed to mean little before found new
interest, and but for the distracting re-
sponsibility of keeping the costumes from
destruction before they could be gotten
off. the rehearsal was delight and the
little amateurs irresistible to a degree of
winning forgiveness for all past offences
And at last, out of all anxiety and work
and apprehension, comes a success that is
no less gratifying than astonishing to the
director. The marches for which she had
held her breath lest the leader start the
wrong way, as usual, move off with an
accuracy that nerves her for the next
figure. The carelessness and heedlessness
that were distracting only the day before
give place to an alertness that needs only
a motion a look to direct, and as the
children forget themselves in the choruses,

ability to direct children. get their atten-
ton and hold It, Even to these few gifted
ones it is nerve racl1ing business and it is
accomplished at the expense of intense
nervous strain and fatigue. There is no
authority such as prevails In the school
room, and to complicate matters the wings
and the scenery afford ideal opportunities
for hide and go seek-opportunites that
are invariably improved to the utmost
unless a director can dominate by sheer
force of will. The arrangement of tableaux
is most difficult feat and is particularly
in the early stages often excruciatingly
funny. No better or convincing proof could
be asked of the fallacy of the traditional
grace of childhood than group of from
six to a dozen children rehearsing a
tableaux. While one is gotten into position
another gets out, and at last, when all
have been induced to keep their places, 1t
is only a few moments until a graceful
poise has been intensified to the rigidity
of an iron poker and the heavenward gaze
perverted to n stony stare or a grin as,
with distended necks they endeavor to get
the effect of the group without getting out
of position. Another moment and one
loses his equilibrium and sprawls to the
floor with crash that undoes the labor
of half an hour or more.

Political Canada,

what do you think of the future of this
country-politically?" asked.
ut is great" was the reply. 1--WE have in
northwestern Canada as much arabic land
as is in the whole United States. The
country will undoubtedly support millions
and It is bound to DO the most important
part of the dominion"
DO you think 1t will ever have more
power politically than eastern Canada?"
81 do. Under our old form of government
this region sent only four members to Par
lament. Alberta will now have eight mem
bers and Saskatchewan about the same.
Our representation is fixed, as you know.
by the status of Quebec The constitution
provides that Quebec shall have sixty-five
members and no more. and that the ratio of
all the other provinces shall be the same as
that of Quebec. At every census the popu-
lation of Quebec is divided by sixty-five and
the quotient forms the ratio of representa-
ton for the other provinces. This ratio is
now about 5000. AS our country grows its
representation must increase, and when We
have 10,000.000 people, as we may have. we
will be the ruling part of Canada"

Northern Alberta.

do you expect much from the northern
part Of your province?"
Yes. There is no doubt but that we can
raise wheat in every part of it and we have
the advantage of being able to do mixed
farming. This ought to be a great dairy
country, but the trouble is that our mon
will not milk. Farm hands look upon that
as a woman's business, and they cannot be
hired to handle cows We grow oats and
fax here about Edmonton. They are rails
ing wheat along the Peace river, and there
is reason TO believe that 1t can be raised
beyond our state. / met a man the other
