THE PROGRESS OF TIE 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, BAT 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 1906.
some 5000 miles of completed railroad
has been added, making total of
fully 1000 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-
tion, the sum of $100,000,000 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 NV 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; TIE 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 1906 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.

ELEVEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Hands Cracked and Bleedns-NaiI
Came Off of Fineer-cuticura REM
edies Brought Prompt Relief.

'1 had eczema on my hands for
about eleven years. The hands crack
ed open in many places and bled. One
of my fingers was so bad that the
nail came off. 1 had often heard of
cures by the Cuticura Remedies, but
had no confidence in them as 1 had
tried so many remedies, and they all
had failed to cure me. 1 had seen
three doctors, but got no relief. Final
ly my husband said that we would
try the Cuticura Remedies, so we got
a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of
Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles
of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. OF course
keep Cuticura Soap all the time for
my hands, but the one cake of Soap
and half box of Cuticura Ointment
cured them. 1t is surely a blessing
for me to have my hands we'll, and 1
am very proud of having tried Cuti-
cura Remedies, and recommend them
to all suffering with eczema Mrs.

Chinese Superior to Japs.

this country are superior to the Jap

dollars to Cinnamon" said the sena-

Cinnamon in positions of trust in
preference to their own countrymen.

Horses stlll In pemand.

Happily the horse has a faculty for
upsetting the gloomy predictions that
he is fated to be put out Of business
by the automobile. The horse business
has kept right on developing in spite
of the fact that the automobile indus
try has been engaged in similar un-
dertaking. The demand for horses is
still great. The supply of some
classes of them is inadequate. The
prices are high. The automobile may
scare the horse into the ditch, but
1t isn't likely to crowd him to the wall.
There will always be a field for the
horse, as there will always be a field
for the omobile.-Hartford Times

PoMERoY's RIDE.
A Gallant Exploit by Pennsylvania
Boy During the War.

In his graduation Grafton r. G. Ap-
pleby, the son of Comrade T. A. Apple
by, of Mount Union, Pa, took for his
theme the gallant exploit of Stephen
w. Pomeroy at the time Of Lees in
vasion of Pennsylvania. This was an
excellent choice for a subject, since
1t is the best policy to keep the patri-
otic deeds of our brave men for emula-
tion by the young. Mr.. Appleby, after
speaking of the celebrated rides from
Paul Revere down, spoke of Lees in
vasion of Pennsylvania, and said:
Hooker was superseded by Meade,
who marched his army northward on
line east of the Blue Ridge and COW
ering both Washington and Baltimore,
thus separating his corps by long dis
tances. Lee, learning of this, decided
to march rapidly eastward from Cham
bersburg and strike Meade's army,
corps by corps, before it could concen-
trate for battle. This he came dan
gerously near doing, as on July he
struck the first and eleventh corps of
Meade's army at Gettysburg and, after
the bravest and bloodiest contest this
continent ever saw, drove our men off
the field. Next day the battle ragged
with frightfui fury and small advan-
tage to either side, but with dreadful
loss to both. On the third day every
and the battle was fought to finish.
AS the close of the battle 5000 men
were dead upon the field and 10000
were wounded.
Lee was defeated. The high-water
mark of the confederacy was reached.
Thence after the rebellion was hope
less, the union was saved. The old
Flag though baptized in the best blood
of the land, had not lost a single star.
But the greatest results turn on ac-
tions unseen. When Lees battalions
came marching down from Carlisle
and the valley through Chambersburg
and filed rapidly out the Gettysburg
pike it convinced Judge Kimmell that
collision between the two armies
would occur quickly, and that it was
exceedingly important that Meade
should know of the movement at once.
He prepared a dispatch telling of
Lees plans, and asked for volunteer
to carry 1t through the confederate
lines to the line of the Pennsylvania
RAILROAD, on the Juniata. A boy from
Roxbury, just discharged from his
regiment, came forward and offered to
try. The Importance of its getting to
Meade was explained, and he started.
Young and fleet. he ran the confed-
crate picket lines, and, skirting the
mountains, reached home after trip
OF IL miles on foot. Meeting a neigh
Dor on horseback, he secured his horse
and rode on rapid gallop to Beal-
town, in Juniata county, where, get
ting a fresh horse, he galloped away
In the night to Academia, where he
again left his exhausted horse, and,
securing another, rode at a great speed
to Port Royal, where his dispatch was
at once sent to Gov. Curtin, at Harris
burg. and by him to the war depart
ment, which in turn sent it to Meade;
SO that when the sun rose on July l
Meade knew that the battle would be-
gin that day, and ordered the concen-
