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

The progress of new country can.
not be better ascertained than by not.
ing the increase of railroad mileage in
its transportation system, and, 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 a 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 the end of 1905,
some 5000 miles of completed railroad
has been added, making a 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 $100,000,000 will be
put in circulation, and this in itself
should cause good times to prevail in
a 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
the growth of villages, towns and cit
ies; 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 government
agent, whose address appears else
where.
1t was stated ON the floor OF 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 $1,000 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 49th parallel
Is making a great record, and deserves
the success that appears to be coming
Its way.

From Boston to San Francisco all
the larger cities can boast of their
parks which have been established
that the people of the cities might not
be deprived of the health and blessing
of green grass, shady trees, blooming
flowers and other natural attractions.
The park idea is a growth of recent
years, and yet at the present time it
is said that the parks and forest res
ervations of the United States have a
total area of SS,720,000 acres, equal
to that of the Philippine islands or of
all of New England, New York state
and West Virginia combined.
1t is only little more than half a
century since the first park in the
United States was established at
Worcester, Mass, and in commemora-
tion of that event memorial gateway
has recently been erected at the en-
trance to the park. On the tablet
placed on either side of the gateway
is the following inscription:

Disappointment, obstacles and

overcoming obstacles, in meeting dis

There is not a clear enough reali-
zation of what credit is, says John
Paul Ryan in Metropolitan Maya
zine, on 6 American Finance" That
is at least one lesson to be learned
from the panic. Every honest man
is careful of his neighbours reputa-
ton. He will do nothing, say moth
ing, to hurt it. Every man pos
sessed Of a bank account, every man
who has surplus funds, every man
who has anything to do with bank
ing, Industrial or railroad systems,
is a factor in the maintenance of
credit. And the lesson of ii all is,
that cooperation is necessary, and
an understanding realization of the
fact that credit is a vital, sensitive,
suspicious thing. Business abuses
can be remedied by cooperation.
The men who are at the heads of the
great financial institutions represent
a force, an intellect, power in the
commercial and material progress OF
a nation. They can be made to see
wherein they are wrong, they can be
compelled to alter their methods
without seriously disturbing credit or
the barometer of business. These
are some of the lessons of the panic.
When credit totters It brings myriad
troubles with it. 1t becomes not
merely q problem OF business. but a
problem OF humanity. The sufferers
are not the big men; rather is it the
wage-earner, the man on salary who
earns little and saves little 6 1t is
for him that men occupying a posi-
ton of stewardship have TRUST, and
there should be perfect confidence be-
tween them. # there is not, dan
gerous, menacing condition exists.

1T is an Interesting matter in naval
history and of especial interest to the
people of the state Of North Dakota
that the fixing of the first armor plate
upon the hull Of the battleship North
Dakota was being accomplished just
at the time the immense battlaship
feet set out for Pacific waters The
North Dakota, be it remembered, is
Sthe leVathian of the navy and her
tonnage is something so formidable as
to bring terror to any ship that may,
in the future, have the temerity to
engage her in action. The North Da-
kota, and one sister ship, will be the
biggest battleships in the navy when
completed. She will surpass the cele-
gbrated Dreadnought when completed
sand doubtless her armament will be
as formidable as her bulk. So far
North Dakota has had no warship
named for her, but it appears we have
-proftted by waiting, tor when ships
named after other and older states
have dind1ed into nsignificance the

FOUGHT SHY OF HIM
REFUSED TO BE cHuM-
MY WITH AUTHOR CONNOLLY.

Mr.. James B. Connolly, the American au-
thor Of sea stories, who enlisted in the
United States navy about the first Of jan
uary last at the suggestion of President
Roosevelt, with the view Of doing for the
American navy what Rudyard Kipling has
done for the British army, has been grant
ed the favor of a discharge and Is no long
er connected with the service. He enlisted
regularly at the Washington navy yard
for period Of two years with the rating
Of yeoman, second class, and his principal
naval duty was to assist the yeoman in
writing the log. He shipped on the battle
ship Alabama at Hampton roads early in
January and made the cruise to the naval
station at Guantanamo on that vessel IN
company with the other vessels of the
Atlantic feet.
He travelled incognito and his mission
was supposed to be unknown to the crew
with whom he lived in the forecastle. His
idea was to gather material at first hand
on the spot to enable him to write a true
from actual knowledge and experience. His
short tour Of service-less than two months
is said to be due to the fact that his
identity and purpose became known to
his messmates on the Alabama, thus prac-
tically upsetting all his calculations.
Like people in all other stations Of human
endeavor, the bluejacket disikes to have
other people ,pOking into his affairs, no
matter how commendable their purpose and
when the ships crew Of the Alabama learn
ed Of the particular mission Of Connolly
on board their ship they avoided him as
much as possible and persistently refused
to take him into their confidence and help
him draw a true picture of life on q war
ship. Notwithstanding the partial failure
Of his plan it is expected that Mr.. Con-
molly got abundant material for several
good stories about the United States navy
