Senator Tillman probably earns
more money every year on the lecture
platform than any other American
who talks to the public for pay. From
an authoritative source the statement
comes that the South Carolinian's net
proceeds thus far this year from his
lecture tour are $4,000. Senator Till
man is paid from $3.50 to $500 a lee
ture and he is constantly In demand.
His season is not confined to the sum-
merry Chautauqua course and he fills
nearly as many dates in the winter
as at any other time Of the year. In
the last four years II is said that he
has laid aside over 100000 from his
lecture receipts. Henry Wattersen

popular favorite and makes about
twice az much as a lecturer as his con-

he reads, writes and speaks Russian,

THE PROGRESS OF THE CANA
DIAN WEST.
Nearly 100000 of an Increase In Cana.
da's immigration In 1906.

The progress of a new country can
not be better ascertained than by not
ing the increase of railroad mileage in
its transportation system. sad, judged
by this standard, the Canadian West
leads all the countries In the world
during the current year. Thirty years
ago there was not one hundred miles
of railroad west of the Great Lakes,
and very little prospect OF trans
continental route for many years TO
come, but by the end OF 1885 the
Canadian Pacific Railway was within
measurable distance of completion.
and last year-twenty years later
over 5000 miles of railroad traversed
the provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta.
In the past year the work Of rail-
road construction has been vigorously
prosecuted, and by 11e end OF 1906.
some 5000 miles of Completed railroad
has been added, making total Of
fully 1900 miles in the three great
grain producing provinces of Canada.
Such an increase in the transportation
facilities of the country is bound to
make good times not only in the dis
tricts where the railroads are being
built, but throughout the entire west.
Allowing $4,000 mile for construc-
ton, the sum of $1o0,0O0,0oo will be
put in circulation, and this in itself
should cause good times to prevail in
land where work is plentiful, wages
are high, and the cost of living is mod
crate.
But the building of new railroads
through Western Canada means a
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in circulation
by the cost of construction. Addition
al railway building means the opening
OF new agricultural districts and an
additional area under crops; largely
increased output of grain to foreign
markets with consequent financial re-
turns; the erection of elevators and
tho growth of villages, towns and cit
les; and everything else that makes
for the progress of national life, and
the opening up of additional thousands
of free homesteads, so extensively ad-
vertised by the Canadian govern 'aent
agent, whose address appears Use
where.
1t was stated on the floor CT the
Canadian Parliament recently by a
prominent REPRESENTATIVE that ten
years from now would see the bulk Of
the population of Canada residing
west OF the Great Lakes, and If the
work of railway building during the
present year is any criterion, the
prophecy made by the Canadian states
man may be easily fulfilled inside OF
the time stated. During the present
year no less than 1S9 ,064 persons have
found homes in the Canadian west,
Of whom 57,796 were Americans who
have seen the great possibilities of
this new West, and have decided TO
cast in their lot with it. Certainly,
our neighbor north of the 10th parallel
is making a great record, and deserves
the success that appears to be coming
its way.
