There is no pace on earth where
the Summer Girl blooms so e1ul-
gently as in New York. She comes
from all over the country and New
York contributes perhaps the most
bewitching contingent Just now, the
betweeil-time season, where the
spring and summer meet, there IS an
extra verve about the demeanOr OF
all womankind in the metropolis.
Not exceeded by the immense
throngs of 'actorines" along the
Rialto, is the excessive vivaclty Vt

on Shopping bent Now, of course,

wagons stop along the Broadway
corners below Forty-second street,
and the megaphone bowls, here is
where you see the American actor

an engagement for the coming sea-
SON."
And, oh, the variety and glare Of
the crowds of actor folk who bear
out the truth of that megaphone
voice! The New York girls are not
far behind the actresses in extremes
Of dress and demeanor. All the shops
are offering their summer sales, their
appeals to the favored ones who are
soon to go off on their vacations.
The response is great In the last
three weeks there has been a re
narkable increase in the average buy
ing among the retail shops. Every
body seems to feel it in the air that
we are to have good times" again
If they will keep on saying so, then,
Thus the power of suggestion
and thought is proved.
Truly, the panic did many people
good. They hauled in their horns
for a while, and took stock of them

and spending what they can afford
and their money is appreciated to its
fullest extent by the tradesmen. [

 Sweet Marie" In Black Africa.
 We were a curious party as we came into the hotel for din~r and our en- tertainment was interesting In the first place we had the chief engineer of the Rhodesia railways, and with him nephew of Lord Roberts, who is also d civil engineer. We had another railroad official, who has charge of a line away up the Zambesi, in British Central Africa, and the American cotton planter of whom l have already spoken. Among the other travellers are a millionaire Wall street broker, who is making a pleasure tour of Africa: an English commercial trav- eler, and a South African miner on his way to the Transvaal. We soon got ac- quainted and after dinner we had a little entertainment in the tin shack, away out here in the wlds. The chief engineer plnved the organ and gave quite a con- cert. including among his selections number of American songs. One of the best of these was Sweet Marie" which was written by Cy Warman when he was the engipeer on a railroad near Denver. The song was composed by one engineer in the wilds of the Rockies, and now, Tar or here in the wlds of Africa, it was sung Tor us by another engineer
 A1ter the songs we had big game stories, including those of lion hunts, elephant hunts and struggles with hip pos and rhinos. Among these wa/ a surprising tale about a crocodile which the central African engineer had re- centlv shot. He said the reptile was

IMMIGRATION FROM
SOUTH EXPECTED
u. S. FARMERS ARE RECOGNIZING
SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES
OFFERED BY WESTERN
CANADA.

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 9, 190S.-Pres-
ent indications are that the Canadian
Northwest will draw an exceptionally
heavy movement of new settlers from
the United States this year. 1t should
surpass the banner record for 1907.
This is not only based on the fact
that the Americans have come to
realize generally that the Canadian
Northwest offers splendid opportuni-
ties, but also because the railroads
have awakened to the fact and are
offering rates to the Canadian North
west which are exceptionally favor
able.
The lines which lead to St. Paul
from the east and south are offering
homeseekers' rates to the Canadian
Northwest this year which are on
parity with those in existence to the
southwest for a couple of seasons.
These rates can be obtained from
any agent of the Canadian govern
ment, who will be pleased to give all
information possible regarding those
districts which offer the greatest in
ducements to settlers. The weather
throughout Western Canada has been
remarkably good this year. A tele-
gram from the winter wheat belt of
Southern Alberta dated at Cardston,
Alberta, January 29th, says:
"This winter up to January rs was
nothing short of marvel, in fact, it
was the finest anyone can remember
for twenty-five years though there
have been others nearly as good The
days were fine, sunny and warm with
light frosts at night. Overcoats and
gloves, ETC., were discarded by most
people in the day time. There was
SO little frost in the ground that post
holes could be dug without any trouble
after the first inch was broken
through. Winter wheat remained
fresh and green although there has
been no snow since the September
storm. If there is an early spring,
winter wheat should gain a great
start"
Amongst the reports of the yield
of last year the following extracts are
taken:
H. Howe, Of Magrath, Alta, writ
ing on November, 1907, says: Il have
70 acres in crop, 80 acres of wheat and
seven acres of oats. My average yield
of oats was IS bushels to the acre,
| and of wheat As bushels. The value
to me was $35 per acre."
]. F. Haycock, of Magrath, writes
| in November: 81 had 65 acres in win.
| ter wheat, which went 60 bushels to
| the acre; oats averaged 80 bushels.
also had IL tons of hay worth SO
per tons-fe-eet- 600 busl,e1s~ef- pota-
toes from three acres of land; I got
eight tons per acre from five acres of
sugar beet"
]. T. Bradshaw, of Magrath, had
1,030 acres of winter wheat last year
which averaged 391% bushels to the
acre. The value of his farm products
per acre was: Wheat, $3.50; oats,
$11.20 and barley, $25.15.
