AT LIFE FARM.

The new Fairbanks 6 Morse engine and pump at Life farm for pumping water is giving fine satisfaction and is furnishing all the water needed about Life farm and the buildings. A large 400 gallon tank in the top of the house distributes the water all over the place. Your correspondent had the pleasure, last Saturday, of seeing the POO children at play and one cer- tainly realizes that the good the little folk receive from their two weeks out ing, where they can get the fresh air and play on the green grass is great blessing to them and is work which our Heavenly Master will bless. Rev U. 0. Mohr ard wife and those who so generously contribute to it's support are to be congratulated on the success of this grand work and we know have the sanction of our Heavenly Father, who said Inasmuch as ye do it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye do it unto Me"

strange case of telepathy in con-

much interest in Milan, Italy. A wo-
man named LaZzaroni awoke sudden
ly at three o'clock the other morning.
and calling her son John, who lives
in her house, told him that his
younger brother. Leopold living in
the outskirts of the town, was dead
The mother was deeply affected,
but John tried to comfort her by as
cribing her fears to a bad dream. At
dawn, however, Leopold LazzaronL, a
handsome and strong young man, the
owner OF a dairy, was found dead at
spot some distance from his dwell
ling. After having made an examina-
tion Of the body. the doctors affirmed
that Leopold had been murdered ac-
tually at three o'clock in the morn
ing.
The next day the culprits were ar
rested.
The facts OF the mothers vision.

his pet squirrels. but Lis efforts are
now repaid and on Thanksgiving he
treated his friends to surprise.
Gathering half a hundred or more
gray squirrels, Mr. Goodyear taught
them to go into the woods and pick
up nuts, carrying them to his home.
On Thanksgiving night at dinner
his guests noticed a small board run
ming from a window to nut bowl
The host gave one knock on the table
with his knife. A squirrel hoped
down the plank and dropped a chest
nut into the bowl. Two raps brought
a squirrel with a walnut, three knocks
a shellbark
Finally, a grave old squirrel took
his place and cracked the nuts, wind
ing up the performance By brushing
of the crumbs with his thick bushy

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

The manner In which the Canal an
West has attracted settlers In recent
years has caused many Of our jour- ais
and public men to sit up and take no
tice." to use q current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
number OF settlers have fiocked 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 mo. Hard OF Canadian
In the very first class. This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat, CO.
100000 bushels: oats. 10000. 900 bush
els; barley. 100000 bushels: and
when It Is considered that the entire
population OF the three provinces-as
evidenced by the quinquennial census
Just completed-is only $4,000, Il 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 n great
impetus to Canadian Western settle
ment in recent years.
The free grant system OF home
steads which prevails In the prairie
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 $40 for entry, is a great
drawing card and in the last fiscal
year gathered in over $4,000 add
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 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.
