New ARRIVALS IN CANADA
NEARLY 100000 IN 1907.
ABOUT SIXTY THOUSAND FROM
THE UNITED STATES.

Now that 1t is known that in the
year Just closed nearly sixty thou
sand from the United States declared
their intention Of making their homes
in Canada, it might not be out of
place to search for some reasons that
would bring this about. These people
are but following the example of the
fifty-five or sixty thousand who did
the same thing the year previous, and
an almost equal number who the year
before that but followed the example
of the thousands of the year preced-
ing. An excellent climate, certain and
positive crops of grain of all kinds,
good markets for their produce, land
and good land, too at low prices,
easy terms of payment, (not forget
ting the 160 acres of land given free
by the Government, particulars of
which the Canadian Government Agent
whose name appears elsewhere will
tell you about and then the splendid
social conditions. The situation Is
pretty we'll sized up by a writer in one
of the magazines. Quoting from this
article, we find this: "Those Of US
who made good in the States," inter-
iected another settler as If to con-
tinue the story of his neighbor, have
had it easy from the start; o little
money is mighty good thing on COM
ing into new country. But those
who make an entry, or even buy lands
at low rates, are able to square things
in two or three seasons crops. There
are hardships in building shanties,
and then with increasing prosperity
getting things into shape for better
homes. But affairs go much as In the
States. We have the largest liberty in
the world; there is more home rule IN
the Provinces than in the several
states of the Republic. Taxes are
light and with only a few million peo-
pie west Of Winnipeg we don't get in
each others way. Ones friends over
the line probably thought we would not
live through the winter; and while 1t
is cold, real cold, it is free from the
moisture experienced in the east.
Schools are good as encouraged by
the Government; the enterprising
American promoter and Yankee drum
mer see to it that we take notice of
the latest improvements and best agri-
cultural machinery. Altogether we are
as near to affairs as we would be on
our own farms in the States. Winni-
peg bears the same relation to US as
Chicago did at home; and Edmonton
with the surrounding region advances
as Omaha did in the days when we
were as young as the boys yonder.
We get together much as they did in
the oranges over the border; the gov
ernment has established experimental
schools Of agriculture, and progress in
every line is stimulated. This is a
great region for grazing" we hear the
Calgary citizen continuing, "and then
with building elevators of wheat at
enc dollar a bushel, many of us find
time to go over to the live stock ex-
hibition in Chicago or visit old friends
during the course of the winter.
Every man is taken for what he is
worth or for what he can raise; and
in this good air and on this fertile soil
we intend to show our old friends
that we are made of the right stuff
that we are chips of the old block
who built up the American West"

ROAD TO sYLvANITE.

Every indication points to the build ing of railroad spur within short time from Hachita out to the mineral ized country near there. If Sylvan ite proves to be a permanent camp the Southwestern will. run a line out there, according to an official an nouncement already made. But wheth CT Sylvanite is permanent or just a passing excitement 1t is expected a spur will be run out to the Anderson. Apache copper mine where, even now a large tonnage is assured. That this will be done soon is the general be lief of those in Douglas who are close to the management Of the Apache
 In the first place development work is still being pushed through high grade ore at the mine, while Consult ing Engineer Houle estimated sever al months ago, before recent discov, cries enhanced the proved value oi the property, that at least there are 100000 tons of comparatively low grade ore which would pay well to ship if there were a railroad spur tC the camp. This low grade ore. and the big bodies of higa grade stuff, can be mined easily and a. low cost and to start with would create tonnage that would be worth railroads at tention.
 The construction would be of the easiest type, for the mine is at the base of a low mountain and the road all the way would follow a level val ley, with but one low hill to partly encircle.

PRESIDENT IF
 MEXICO WILL pun OFFICE
Diaz Not Only Refuses to Be Candidate Again, But Will Retire Long Before Next Election Takes Place.
CchiAuahua Epterprise.)

That President Diaz has determined not only not to be a candidate to sue ceed himself as president of Mexico at the coming presidential election, but has stated emphaticaily and at a recept date that he will retire, ob- taining permission from the national congress to do so, a long while before the election takes place; was stated in an article published by El Diario del Hogan in its issue of the goth inst.
 The Diaro dei Hogar states that "this sensational and unexpected news has reached that paper from a most reliable source, and, although the paper is reserved in publishing the fact. there is nothing improper in doing so as it deeply concerns the entire nation"
 This, if accurate, is the first and only intimation which the people of Mexico have had from the supreme magistrate concerning his intentions in regard to reelection, outside of the famous Creelman interview published in Pearson's magazine six months ago.
 In that interview General Diaz was credited as saying ae would never be a candidate again for the presidency, but 1t has been generally believed that changed circumstances and the appar- ent absolute imperativeness that he should continue in office would cause him to change his intentions and on this point the entire nation has entertained the most lively and keen interest for the past several months.

BOY STOOL PIGEON
How Mr.. Morse Negotiated Loans
From Bank.
Tow Headed $12 a Week Clerk
Borrowed Over 100000.

New York, ia tow-headed youth
of 10, until recently a $12 a week clerk
IN a broker office, was the star witness
today at the trial in the criminal
branch of the United States court, of
Chas. w. Morse. financial manager and
promoter who with Alfred Curtis, for
mer president of the National Bank Of
North America, is charged with having
violated the national banking laws. In
the testimony of Edward P. Moxey, a
government bank examiner, 1t had
been revealed that a person by the
name of Leslie E. Whiting had been
one of the heaviest borrowers from the
National Bank of North America at one
time owing the institution as much as
$310, 900. Hardly week went by in the
year of 1907, the testimony showed, that
Whiting did not borrow 100000 or more
giving ice stock, principally as securi-
ty. 1t always appeared in the records
presented, however, that the nermous
sums of money borrowed by Whiting
were credited to the accounts of Chas.
w. Morse.
At the conclusion of Examiner Mox-
ey's testimony, Leslie Whiting was
called to the stand and those in the
court room who had expected to see a
dignified, shrewd looking business man
step forward were astonished to see a
smooth checked boy of under 20 years
smile swept the room and Judge Hough
raped sharply for order.
After Whiting had been made to de-
scribe how he had come to sign the
notes which made him indebted to the
bank for such large amounts, he was
asked

more assured.
For half an hour longer the youth
of letters bearing the signature LES
lie z. Whiting" and directed to the
National Bank of North America were
read. These letters, couched in bust
nesslike terms, gave orders to the bank
for transferring collateral, charges and
renewals of note. A sentence in one
letter raid:
Enclosed please find my check for
$500, 900 which apply to my account"
The witness explained in answer to
questions that he had been sent to
the bank by his employers to sign the
notes. He said he knew he was in
curing an obligation, but felt sure
his employers would protect the notes.
Whiting testified that he had never
talked with Mr.. Morse or Mr.. Curtis
concerning the signing of notes or
the putting up of collateral. The boy
also said that he did not think his
employers knew that he was not of
age. Davidson Brown another
brokers' clerk, was also a witness to
tell of having signed notes for loans
for more than 100000. Brown had a
