| dianapolis men, who have had
the advantage of several days of
preliminary practice upon the
range.
Governor Hanly arrived on the
range Monday morning in time
Ito see the skirmish firing, which
lis the most interesting of the
events of the shoot. Skirmish
firing is so named because prone

ures are made the marks. The
firing begins at 600 yards; two
lshots are allowed the riflemen at
that range, both shots to be fired
within thirty seconds of one an
other. Two shots are allowed
under the same conditions at 500
yards. three shots at 400, three at
1850, FIVE at 800 yards and FIVE
shots at 200 yards The shots at
200 yards must be fired within
Twenty seconds of each other.
By this schedule each man is
lallowed twenty shots, and only
1.-The hits score. Lieut.. Mcbride
of Company d, in the skirmish
firing, made score of 1877 out Of
a possible $50. After the shoot
Governor Hanly, with Maj. Gen.

lSDected the dummies.

Mr.. Bryce lnoou.

The last time Mr.. Bryce visited this
country was two years ago last sum-
mer, when he landed in Boston. He
is a very modest gentleman, and he
prefers to travel incog. when he can
conveniently do so. So It happened
that on his last voyage hither neither
his name nor that of Mrs. Bryce, who
came with him, appeared on the pas
lsenger list, and his fellow voyagers
did not suspect his identity until after
several days out. Meanwhile MIR.
Bryce had the pleasure of asking his
table companions all about this coun.
try and its institutions. And they
glibly answered his naive questions,
never suspecting that they were talk.

CANADA'S GOOD TIMES.
Tho immigration During 1905 Was
216,o0o.

While Il is we'll to heed every
word Of caution from the leaders In
commerce and finance and to avoid
all speculative ventures that lack a
solid business foundation, II is clearly
evident that there Is no conspicuous
weak spot in Canada's present era of
prosperity. The Toronto Globe says:
1.-THE Dominion has in a commercial
sense plenty of money, and our lead
ing financial institutions are in q po-
sition to lend freely in the United
States. The chief productive enter
prises of Canada are not buoyed UP
by an era of dangerous speculation,
but are following substantial bust
ness methods and finding safe and
continuous markets for their goods
We are not bolstering up any indus
tries by extensive export bonuses.
that must impoverish the people as
a whole, and ultimately lead to col
lapse through the failure of the arti.
fetal aid. There is no extreme pro-
lection in Canada such as would Gre
ate great fortunes for a few at the
lead to disruption and catastrophe.
The prosperity of Canada has no ar
tif1cial foundation being based on
healthy and substantial expansion of
trade and industry, with a proportion
ate extension of productive settlement
to new areas.
1t is true that we are borrowing
extensively for railway construction,
but every line will bring new terri
tory within the limits of profitable
occupation, and will create prosper
Gus settlements to bear the burdens
and repay the outlay. We are not
exhausting mineral resources, for it.
is quite reasonable to assume that,
although mineral wealth is never
permanent, ours will during the
measurable future develop a far
greater productive capacity than at
present. Our timber wealth can be
made continuous by a judicious pol.
icy. And agriculture, the real foun-
dation Of our prosperity, is expanding
with every new expenditure on rail-
way construction. We are not in
the flush Of railway mania that
could bring it's punishment through
the useless duplication of lines. The
gigantic railway enterprises that
now stimulate every line of business
in Canada will create a new Domin-
ion, and thus render easy the heavy
burdens of debt now freely assumed.
Canada's era of prosperity has been
unprecedented, but there is no sign
of weakness and no cause for lack
of confidence. While our growth is
normal and healthy, we need have no
alarm at it's rapidity." This article
might have gone on to relate the
great growth that is taking place in
Central Canada, where thousands of
Americans have made their homes
during the past few years. The past
calendar year has given to Canada by
importation an addition of 10000 to
it's population. OF this the United
States contributed 63,7S1. The agents
of the Canadian government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere, say
that this number will be largely in.
creased during 1907.

Telephones and Competition.


Every community which has a tole-
phone service Is likely to be con-
fronted by the question OF granting a
franchise to a rival company. Each
case must be decided By the govern
ing circumstances. but every case will
show the popularity Of the telephone
problem. The telephone Is natural
monopoly, for It is to the advantage
OF every subscriber that all users OF
Telephones should be on the same sys'
tenn with him. More than one system
means that n subscriber must have
moro than one instrument, or be out
Of communication with part Of the
world of telephone-users. 1t Is diff
,ult, however, to adjust human nature
10 ideal mechanical conditions. Estab-
aished companies. without rivals, lack
the motive of competition to keep
rates down and service good. There.
fore some communities have welcomed
new companies which promised better
and cheaper service. Dual systems,
like labor strikes, are on their face
economic losses, yet it may be worth
while to endure the temporary dis.
comfort and loss in order to secure
better conditions ultimately. The
butcher may be on one system and
the baker on another, yet low rates
may bring two instruments within the
previous cost of one, and may so in
crease the number of subscribers
within call as to atone for the incon-
venience. II finally one company alb
serbs the other, TIE community may
have become so well established In
low rates that the surviving company
dare not raise them. On the other
hand says the Youths Companion, the
effect OF competing companies is
sometimes merely to divide the tele-
phone.users of community without
adding many to the total number, and
II the companies then make an agree
ment to keep rates up, the community
Is worse off than before. In the
strategical game which q community
plays with public service companies.
It is difficult to determine in the case
of the telephone service how far the
actual or threatened establishment Of
rival company stimulates mechani-
cal Improvement and checks the ma
tural tendency of monopoly to extor-
ton. No community can settle the
question without careful study.

Used Him as Eraser.

The late DR.. Henry Martyr Field
some years ago related at Williams
alumni dinner rather amusing Incl
dent Of his freshman days at college.
Being only IL years old when he
entered he had not reached the point
where the natural friction between the
big boy and the small boy ceases and
he was at particular feud with one of
his fellows, stalwart country youth
fresh from the farm. One day young
Field went early to the classroom and
put upon the big blackboard a very
exasperating caricature of his en-
envy, with his name beneath When
the aggrieved party saw what had
been done he said not word, but
catching up his youthful tormentor, he
used him as an eraser and after rub
bling out the offensive picture quietly
took his seat.

A boy was amusing himself by

Ling, bobolink, a-no-sweet, anosweet,

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great
err strength thap other makes.

Connecticut's Bad Record.

Connecticut is usually regarded as
a safe and pleasant place to live in,
and yet it had 43 murders in 1906,
where Maine had only two. To be
sure, Connecticut has more people
than Maine, but not so very many
more; it has fewer than 100000,
while Maine has 725,000. 1t is fair
to state that it was an unusually bad
year for the old Nutmeg state in this
respect, as it's 43 murders are more
than it ever had before in single
year, and II more than the annual av-
erage for the last acknowledgements
