NEW ARRIVALS IN CANADA
 NEARLY 300, 900 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-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 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; 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 in the world; there is more home rule Tn 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 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 wonder. We get together much as they did in the granges 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 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"

Naval Appropriation Bill Up.

Washington--The dove of peace hov- cred over the house Friday. Instead O. intermnable roll calls and clashes of party leaders on questions of par liamentary law, there was an orderly session devoted almost entirely to the consideration of the naval appropria- tion bill Both Chairman Foss of H. linois and Mr Padgett of Tennessee of the committee on naval affairs made exhaustive speeches justifying the action of the committee in report ing what they characterized as con- servatiVe naval program for the next fiscal year. Messrs. Favrot of Louisi- ana. McKinlay and Knowland of Cali fornia pleaded for a navy of such size as to be capable of upholding at all times the honor of the country at home and abroad, while MT. Bartholdt of Missouri advocated a halt in naval increase and the substitution for it of arbitration in matters of international disputes.
 Many other speeches were made under the order of general debate on the naval bill, but they were on other subjects. The list included Messrs. Webb of North Carolina, who favored the regulation of interstate traffic in intoxicating liquors; Lamar of Mis- souri, who wanted a stricter Sunday observance law for the District of Columbia; Touvelle of Ohio, who pleaded for a monument to the men under Generals St. Clair and Wayne, who fell in battle against the IT dians: Parkins of New York, who de- sired free wood pulp; Kustermann of Wisconsin, who emphasized the ne cessity for decent American legation buildings abroad, and MT. Aiken of South Carolina, who pleaded for re- fund of the cotton tax

GIRL WAS DELlRlOUS
With Fearful Eczema-Pain, Heat, and Tinging Were Excruciatine-
 Cuticura Acted Like Magic.

'An eruption broke out on my daughters chest. I took her to a doctor, and he pronounced it to be eczema of very bad form. He treated her, but the disease spread to her back, and then the whole of her head was affected, and all her hair had to be cut of. The pain she suffered was eXcru- ciating, and with that and the heat and tingling her life was almost un- bearable. Occasionally she was deliri- -ous and she did not have a properhour's sleep for many nights. The second doctor we tried afforded her just as little relief as the first. Then I pur- chased Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, and before the Ointment was three-quarters finished every trace of the disease was gone. It really seemed like magic. Mrs T.

Washington-A favorable report on the resolution directing the establish ment in the army of trade or indus trial schools was urged Thursday be- fore the house military committee by its author, Representative O'Connell of Massachusetts. He said he be- lieved the solution of the problem of how to make the army service more popular among the people and there by lessen the yearly percentage of assertions lies within his proposal. Soldiers should be schooled during their service, he said, so that at the end of their enlistment they shall be equipped to re-enter civil life.
