The Missouri river is at is tricks

THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC
RAILROAD AND WESTERN CAN.
ADA.
wnl op<. W Inme..- Are. of Free
Homestead Lands.

WILL Opea Vp Inmense Area of Free
Homestead Lands.
The railway facilities OF Western
Canada have been taxed to the utter
most in recent years to transfer the
surplus grain crop to the eastern mar
kcts and the seaboard. The large in
Aux Of settlers and the additional area
put under crop have added largely to
the grain product. and Notwithstanding
the increased railway facilities that
have bee placed at the disposal OF the
public, the question Of transportation
has proved to be 4 serious one.
1t will. therefore, be good news to
everyone Interested in Western Can
ada to know that an authoritative
statement has been given out by Mr.. G.
NJ. Hays. president of the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway, that that railway vii!
do its share towards moving the crop
OF 1907 from Alberta. Saskatchewan
and Manitoba to tidcwater, and thus
ASSIST in removing q serious obstacle
which has faced the settler during re
cent years. Mr.. Hays. who has just
completed Il trip from Portage la Prai-
RE 10 Edmonton in 4 prairie schooner,
Il distance of 735 miles. which was COW
ertHl in eighteen days. is enthusiastic
about the country.
This will he gratifying TO settlers in
the Canadian West. even IL Mr.. Hays
declines to be bound to a time limit
with the exactitude OF a stop-watch.
The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be
in a position to take part in the trans
portation OF the crop OF 1907. and that
will be satisfactory to the settlers in
that country when the harvest Is gar
nered.
1'he wheat crop OF 1906 in Western
Canada was about 9O.OOO.OO bushels
and with the increased acreage which
is confidently expected TO be put under
crop next ear 1t is safely calculated
that fully 10. OOO,oOO bushels will be
harvested In 1907. The necessity for
increased transportation facilities are.
therefore. apparent. and the statement
made by Mr.. Hays Will bring encour-
agement to tho farmers of the Cana
dian West, new and old. The opening
up Of additional thousands OF free
homesteadS is thus assured by the
agent OF the Canadian government
whose address appears elsewhere.

REIGN OF TERROR
IN IRELAND
Cattle Driving Accusing
Race Hatred.

LONDON, Dec Especial The
conspiracy in the west and south of
Ireland to drive the graziers from the
land continues in deadly earnest, and
there have been new phases in the
agitation the past week. The law
in some parts of the country is prac-
tically a dead letter. Witnesses and
jurors are terrorized.
Savage attacks have been made
upon postmen suspected of having
letters containing writs. They were
set upon and the letters were taken
from the postmen by men disguised
as women, and some postmen have
been boycotted, intimidated and
mobbed by men armed with spades,
four-pronged forks and turf slanes.
In several cases murder might have
occurred had it not been for the in
tervention of the police.
The constabulary have been order
ed by the Government not to use their
firearms, so that it is impossible for
five or six constables on these terms
to cope with a crowd of raiders aim
ed with sticks and hurleys.

PARIS MERCHANTS
Wall OF DISTRESS

PARIS, Dec. 26.-(SpeciaD There
is a gloom in the hearts of Paris mer-
chants From every side comes a
wall of distress concerning the hard
times engendered as a result, direct
and indirect, of the financial crisis
in America.
American buyers are as numerous
as usual in Paris just now, but it
appears that their purchases, in
whatever line they represent, are far
below the normal. Henri Rochefort
speaks humorously of this dolorous
state of affairs in lie Figaro:
France is anxious" he says. "She
likes Americans; she awaits them, as
a student awaits letter carrier who
ought to bring him funds from home.
Yesterday an American was finally
perceived crossing Paris in an auto
mobile. In his rapid rush he knocked
over a pedestrian, but so glad were
Parisians to see him that no one
paid any attention to his insignificant
adventure He was Immediately sur
rounded by all the merchants in the
neighborhood Diamond merchants,
antiquarians, automakers, tailors,
and a host of others, fought for this
legitimate prey, which has really
become too rare.
Alas! Paris is doomed to dis
appointment The supposed Yankee
millionaire packed his valise the next
day and disappeared. 1t was not
discovered until then that he was
merely a German travelling man"

Miss Madeline du Pont and John

fashionable set of Wilmington, Del,
by clipping to Washington, where
they were married sailed this morn

1t was learned that on her return

Washington the bride wrote her mo-
Their a letter which throws consider
able light on the inner life in one
of the most notable homes in Della

yourself, not from one or two people,
but from a half dozen"
This letter was simply signed Mad

SCHOOL FOR MOTHERS
LONDON INNOVATION
Penny a Week for Mem
berShip.

LONDON, Dec. -(SpeciaD In
a dingy back street over in North
west London, where probably the
prattle of more babies and the COM
plants of more poverty-stricken mo-
theirs may be heard than in any
other section of the metropolis, a
club for babies and a school for mo-
theirs has just been established.
The new institution is officially
known as THE ST. Pancras School
for Mothers but the neighborhood
knows it as THE Mothers and Bah
les Welcome for over the door is
the sign, Come in, mothers, and
bring your babies"
Baby Consultations" greets one
in large letters in front of the win
dow. A picture of bow-legged baby
who has been allowed to walk too
soon points the moral to this an
nouncement; so does another warn
ing inside, bearing the significant
legend, Make your baby teetotaler-'
There is still another warning in the
injunction, which reads: Feed your
baby by the clock.
For a penny a week she can not
only take her baby to be weighed but
she may attend all the classes. She
may attend the cookery class on
Thursday afternoon, or the needle
work class on Wednesday, and she
may bring her husband to the Tues
day evening class and hear talks on
health for babies, given by lady
doctor.
If she is a nursing mother, she
may come to the Welcome every
day except Sunday and enjoy meat
dinner, with Vegetables, followed by
a milk pudding or stewed fruit, fol-
which she pays 2 pennies farthings
6 1-2 cents.) This is indeed one O
the best features of the club.

Race Hatred Growing

Antagonism of race and creed were
never so violent as now. There is
widespread feeling that the Govern
ment will before many days be forced
by public feeling to take drastic
steps to obtain proper punishment
of outrage and crime Credit is be-
ing paralyzed, trade is intereferd
with, and the small farmers them
selves are beginning to suffer heavily
owing to the continuance of cattle
driving. Mr.. Redmond has said that
it is an admitted fact that the over
whelming majority of the Irish people
are thoroughly disaffected and dis
loyal to the English rule. Other
agitators are saying that the people
will never rest until they have sever
ed the last link that binds Ireland to
Great Britain.
There are two Irelands, one i'm
perial, one simply agrarian; one
proud of and devoted to the empire
in whose government her sons have
taken no small part; the other
praying for the day of her deliver
ance from the links that bind her tc
rich and tolerant empire.
This Christmas England will be al
peace with all the world except Ire
land, where a reign of terror pre-
walls which has been fostered by the
refusal of the Radical Government to
deal effectively with the instigators
