MarveIOus erowth Of canada.

Lord Stratncona, high commissioner OF
Canada in Great Britain, while in New
York to take ship on a trip to London,
said: when l went to Canada, over
20 years ago, IL was the tremendous
wilderness. BY the close OF the century
she will have a population equal to
the present population of the United
States. Then there will be two great
sister countries side by side, living, /
hope I'm the same position of AMIGA
BILE regard that characterizes their rela-
lions now.
1.-THE greatest strides that Canada
has made have been in agriculture.
The great Northwest, once the prop
erty entirely of the Hudson Bay Co,
to be exploited merely for the furs
1t could supply, is now cut up into
small farms and ranches. In 1870
there was no wheat grown in the
Northwest The factors of the Hudson
Bay Co. had to send to the United
States or to the far Eastern Canadian
cities for their wheat and other
breadstuffs. Last year. tine Northwest
produced more than 100, 900, 900 BUSH
els of wheat and more than 200, OOO,-

HIGH WATER IN THE RIVER.
Rains Have Added Two Feet to Last
Weeks Mark-Water Pouring over
Upper Section Of Crib Work.

The highest water in the Connecticut
river known In years at this season has
been encountered by the workmen at the
dam this week but they report little
hlndrance of the actual work OF con-
struction through the unusual flow OF
water is inconvenient at this stage in the
operations. The water is now 10 feet
higher than when construction began
the rains of the carly part of the week
adding another two feet to last weeks
mark. The water is pouring over the
upper section of crib work in one place
and section of the lower cribbing has
been left uncompleted to allow this water
TO now through. The workmen are put
ting the sloping deck on the upper crib
bing as rapidly possible and when
that Is all in place all flow of water on
that side of the river will be Checked
and the rectangular cofferdam can be
completed. The increase in height of the
river made 1t necessary to raise the
foot bridge a second time in order to
keep it clear of the debris floating down
the river. With the added volume of
water coming down the river the space
left free, between the Vermont shore
and the rocks i'm midstream is now a
raging torrent down which no small boat
could navigate. The bateau of the river
gang travels about without much trouble
but no canoeist would think of attempting
to run the passage now.
