NEARLY 100000 u 1907.
ABOUT SIXTY THOUSAND FROM
THE UNITED sTATEs.

Now that 1T il known that In the
year just closed nearly sixty thou
sand from the United States declared
their intention Of making their homes
In Canada, 1t 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. aud
an almost equal number who the year
before that but followed the example
of the thousands of the year proceed

positive crops of grain of all kinds,

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 well sized up by 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 II to con.
tinue the story of his neighbor, have
had 1t easy from the start: little
money Is mighty good thing on COM
ing into q 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 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, 1t 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 1t 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, "and then
with building elevators of wheat at
one dollar 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"

The Funny Thing. One Sees

One evening while going through .
street In q Japanese town, Yokohama.
I heard clanking sound at regular In
tervals. and found II was made by
man who as he walked along was
striking sort of sword on the ground.
At the conclusion two plates OF
bronze or brass were driven together,
making metallic clang. was told
that he was a Waterman, paid by con,
tributions of a few sen q month from
the households along the way. AS be

comfortable assurance to these peo-
pie that all Is we'll.
This Waterman Is for fire chiefly.
as the houses of the Japanese town
are mostly all of wood. and q FIRE
once started means widespread de-
struction before It can be got under
control.
On little cart are also carried
two folding screens OF asbestos, about
fve feet high, with which the men pro-
tect themselves when facing the fire.
To anyone familiar with the American
IRE departments the whole outfit
seems like toy.
The police department will much
better bear comparison with those OF
other countries than the fire depart
ment.
was told that about 1875 police be-
long to each station house. Their
names are written on little blocks Of
wood, in red On one side, and black on
the other. The men are on duty In
the station house for two hours. and
outside for two hours, and the little
blocks are turned as they como in or
60 out. the red or black showing the
superintendent at a glance Just where
the men are.
We were shown the cells, which
were about ten feet square. fairly
light, very airy, and Immediately

The guard opened a couple Of occu-

man alone In one cell, while three

While on our tour of inspection the
most frightful cries came at intervals
from one part OF the main building. As
they continued began to be assailed
by q nervous apprehension that ]
might be called upon to witness some
horrible torture. for I felt sure that
nothing short OF that could call forth
such unearthly yells.
When I was conducted into large
room, where about 20 men in very alb
breviated white linen suits were squat

explained. Here was the school for

MAcHINE-aRouNo PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the hand
mixed" paint Of the painter slightingly
spoken of as "unscientific" and mot
thoroughly mixed" The facts are all
on the side of the painter and his hand
prepared paint.
1t is the most Scientific" paint there
is, because 1t is made on the spot to
suit the particular purpose for which
1t is to be used. It is as scientific as
a good doctors prescription. If the
painter did not mix It thus 1t would
be as unscientific as a patent medi-
cine. Moreover, the paint which a
good painter turns out is made of
genuine white lead and pure linseed
oil. If he does not mix 1t himself he
is not sure what is in 1t, and conse-
Quently his client cannot be sure.
AS for not being thoroughly mixed
by machinery. that is simply mis-
statement. White Lead as made by
National Lead Company is thorough
ly incorporated with z or 8 per cent.
of pure Linseed oil In the factory, max
ing paste. This paste need only be
thinned with additional linseed oil to
make 1t ready for the brush.
The thorough incorporation Of pig
ment and oil has already been accom-
plished before the painter gets It.
To know how to tell pure white lead
is great advantage to both painter
and HORSEPOWER. National Lead Com.
