FILLING UP THE CANADIAN WEST
The American Settler 10 Welcomes
to Canada.

A number OF the leading newsps'
ners on this side of the line have been
noticing the growth OF the CanaaiS1
west in recent years, and draw atten'
tion to the fact that there seems TO Do
no abatement of the influx OF settierS
to that great grain-growing country
The Buffalo Express thus refers TO the
subject:
canada West continues to grow.
There we're ALA homesteads entries
there in July Of this year, as against
3571 in July, 1905. Canada plumes
herself over this fact, with becoming
pride. But what appears to make our
neighbors happiest is the statement
that of these Alta homesteaders,
1912 were from this side OF the line.
Little is said about the 81 Canadians
who recrossed the border to take up
homes in Canada West, or OF the guy
from Great Britain, or Of the 1855
from non British countries. 1t ap-
pears that the item in this July report
that makes Canada rejoice most Is
this of the 1912 American farmers
who decided to try their fortunes IN
Canada West.
1.-THE compliment is deserved. The
1912 we're MOSTLY from Dakota and
other farming states, and go into
Canada fitted better than any other
class of immigrants for developing the
new country. They take capital with
them, too, say Canadian papers proud
ly. In every way, they are welcome
over there"
AS the Express we'll says. the
American is welcomed to Canada, and
the reasons given are sufficient to In
wife the welcome. The Ameriag \
farmer knows thoroughly the farming
conditions that prevail in the Cana
dian prairie provinces, and is aware
of every phase of agricultural devel
opment in recent years.
In practical knowledge OF what Is
wanted to get the largest return for
labor and investment he Is by long
odds superior to any European set
tier. He knews what Is required to
bring success, and he Is able and WILL
ing to do it, and his future causes no
apprehension to the successful Cana
dian farmer. The agent Of the Cana
dian Government, whose address ap-
pears elsewhere. says that the differ
ence between the manners and Gus
toms of the farmer from Dakota, Ore
gon or Minnesota and the farmer from
Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta
is not nearly SO marked as that be-
tween the farmer of the Maritime
provinces and the Ontario tiller OF the
soil. Hence the welcome to the free
homesteads Of the Canadian West,
and there are hundreds Of thousands
Of them left, that is extended to the
settler from the Western States.

IndIa's Railroad Industry.

One of the main schemes Of the

extended to state lines, tenders being
received up to rs per cent. part In

Tea on the Down Grade.

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
enlargement in report recently
made by a large tea exporting house
in Yokohama to its American GUS
toners. incidentally it indicates that
the United States is not alone in fac
ing increased cost of living. The re-
port says: Owing to the rapidly In
creasing cost Of living in Japan labor
costs more, and In consequence cul-
tivation of the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly,
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf. Hence
the average quality of the teas now
offered for sale is below that Of sea-
sons prior to the war, and for the
same reasons we are not likely in the
future to see any reversion to the
excellence of former years. New

Foreign Comment on the PreSi-
dents Message Is Not All
Complimentary.
CUBANS ARE DISAPPOINTED
The English View Is That the Chief
Executive Is Hampered by the
Constitution Japanese
Are Pleased.

London, Dec 6.-President Roose'
velt's message to the American con
gress occupied the most prominent
place in the leading newspapers Wed
nesday morning, and has attracted
widespread attention from government
officials, diplomats and the public.
The prevailing tone of the comment
is favorable, particularly, with refer
ence to the presidents statements on
the Japanese question, the newspa-
pers emphasizing the presidents warn
ing of possible use of the federal
forces for the protection of Japanese.
This feature of the message has CIV
en- especial satisfaction in official Jap
anese quarters, where it is pointed out
that Japan is satisfied to await the out
come of the issue between the state
and federal authorities.
The Telegraph says the president
speaks out resolutely and fearlessly.
knowing that the democracy likes a
man who is not afraid to be Its mas
ter.
The Standard says the most sig
nificant feature of the message Is
that the president is constantly find
ing himself Cup against" the Ameri-
can constitution Farsighted observ-
ers have long since seen that the
United States has outgrown its
cradle, yet the conservative sGnti-
ment of the most conservative peo-
pie on earth clusters strongly around
the constitution. If there are to be
any reforms they can only result
from a drastic reconstruction of the
political system and the prospect of
their realization appears somewhat
remote.
Paris, Dec. 6.-The morning papscs
generally do not comment on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message to the Amer
lean congress. but give to it the most
prominent place on their pages and
publish dispatches from New York
recording the feeling of dissatisfac.
ton over the presidents references
to the San Francisco situation.
Havana, Dec. 6.-The message Of
President Roosevelt to the American
congress was published in the local
press Tuesday afternoon
Commenting on the message the
Post, Wednesday will say: THAT
part of the message relating to Cuba
is hardly all that was expected by
those who thought that the present
opposition to the presidents Cuban
plans would call forth an appeal
stronger than usual for the prompt
evacuation of the island and the res
toration Of the Cuban republic.
Is the president getting lukewarm
regarding Cuba? Possibly not, but
whether or not there is certainly not
that ring of enthusiasm in his words
regarding Cuba always noticeable in
his utterances'

NEWSY LETTER

From j 1. Weeks Who WAS In the

Pittsburg Landing, Tenn, May so, 1907
Editor Bedding Banner.
Dear sir:-Thinking that perhaps some
Of the readers Of the Banner might like to
hear how Decoration day is observed in
Dixie's land, and having business in this
place at that time, will try and give
them meager account of the same, and
a faint description Of the National ceme-
terry and the Military park of Shiloh,
where occurred one of the fiercest battles
OF the whole Civil War.
The cemetery contains about eight
acres situated on a commanding bluff
over looking the Tennessee River, afford
ing magnificent view of the surround
ing country. 1t is shaded by oak, pine,
elm, maple, hickory, magnolia, cedar and
other trees, under whose cool and shade
repose about 1000 Of the nations fallen
heroes, of whom 1851 are unknown, who
fell at the great battle of Shiloh which
was fought on April 9th and 9TH, 1862.
| can truly say that this is one of the
most beautiful spots that have ever Wis
tied.
The people Of the North who have
never visited National cemetery or Mil
itary park can have but faint idea of
the magnificent manner that this country
has provided for her fallen heroes. Ev-
