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

Now that it 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-fve 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, mot forget
ting the 100 acres of land given free
by the Government, particulars Of
which the Canadian Government Agent
whose lame appears elsewhere will
tell you about. and then the splendid
social conditions. The situation is
pretty well 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-
jected another settler as if to con.
tinue the story of his neighbor, have
had it easy from the start; a little
money is a mighty good thing on COM
ing into a 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 10
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 owe
the line probably thought we would not
live through the winter; and while it
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.
eminent 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, land then
with building elevators of wheat at
enc dollar a bushel, many of us find
time to 60 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"

MADE HIS MEANING CLEAR.
Professors Son Translated Fathers
Speech Into the vernacular.

A college professor, in company
with his son, was enjoying a walk in
the country, when he met an old
farmer. 1t had been a very wet sea-
son, and the professor, thinking to
start the conversation in a way that
would prove interesting to the farmer,
remarked:
There has been a rather abnormal
precipitation of late"
The farmer seemed somewhat en-
barrassed, and the professors son,
who used a different vernacular,
though he was a student in the college
to which his father was attached, at
tempted to straighten out the matter.
Drawing the farmer to one side, he
said in a superior way:
"The governor means that we've
been having a devil of a lot of rain"

Show Model Rural sehoolhouse

Under the supervision of Miss
Martha Van Rensselaer,, who is in
charge of the reading course for farm
ers' wives of the State Agricultural
college, Cornell university has erected
on its campus a model rural school
house. The essential feature of this
schoolhouse is a workroom which oc-
cupies one-third Of the floor space. The
purpose in building this schoolhouse
is to show that such buildings may be
made artistically attractive, homelike,
sanitary, comfortable and durable for
the same amount Of money and labor
as the unattractive and unsatisfactory
buildings to which so many rural dis
tricts have been accustomed. The
Cornell model is designed for rs pu-
pills in the main room, and the folding
doors and windows in the partition en-.

And who are the men who are Great

Nationals base their strength in nice
balance and the up-to-date perfectness
of Wiltse especially this season has
bloomed as McGaws best bet. Then
there is McGraw himself, and Muggsy

Chance explains the Cubs chance.
Pittsburg has a club which is singing
the ball hard and timely. 1t will al
ways be a factor because of this. Then
there is Wagner, Leach and Clarke as
stars, a trio unexcelled in their roles.
Chicagos White Sox bank on head
work, gameness in pinches and their
pitchers to accomplish wonders. Among
its stars are such men as Pat Dough-
erty, Eddie Walsh, Fielder Jones and
others known well to the fans. De-
troit has the unparalleled Cobb, the
slugging Crawford, not to mention the
inimitable Jennings as a leader to drive
them to victory. ST. Louis, too, counts
in balance, backed by lightning work
in the field, solid hitting by such men
as Stone, Wallace and others, and its
pitchers, Waddell Dineen, Howell and
Powell, who are showing such con-
sistent ware in this trying period.

In the American league, Detroit, ST.

the bitterness of long standing enmity
