Babc0ck was personally very popular
with his colleagues in the House, where
his defeat having been brought about by
a combination between the La Toilette
faction Of the Republican party and the
Democrats in Wisconsin, resulted in the
election to the Sixtieth Congress of Rep
resentative Murphy, a Democrat.
Born in Vermont
Joseph Weeks Babcock was born in
Swanton, Vt, March .. 1900, a de-
scendant of the Pilgrims. He was the
Youngest of four children and when he
was 5 years of age his parents removed
to farm in Butler county, Ia. He
attended the district school and when the
family removed to Cedar Falls he at
tended the public schools of that place,
later on supplementing his elementary
training with a brief course at Mount
Vernon college.
Upon leaving school Mr.. Babcock en-
gagged in the lumber business with his
father at Cedar Falls. In 1872 he re-
moved to Dubuque, being employed by
the Ingram, Kennedy K Day company.
Six years later he bought an interest in
the firm of Weston, Burch Il Co, his
former employers. In 1881 he removed
to Necedah, Wis, becoming secretary of
the Necedah Lumber company.
A tireless and energetic business man
it was only natural that he should be in
terested in public affairs and In 1888 Mr..
Babcock was elected to the state Legis-
lature. He served as chairman of the
committee on corporations and SO salts
factory was his work that in 1890, when
few Republican legislators were returned
to office Babcock was reelected. His
strong personality made his influence
felt by all with whom he came in con-
tact and in 1892 the Republicans of the
Third district chose him as their candi-
date for Congress. He was elected over
his Democratic opponent by a plurality
of 1000 votes. He was reelected in
1894 and again in 1896, the latter time
over a fusion candidate by plurality OF
II 900 votes.
Mr.. Babcock continued to serve the
Third district in Congress until 1906,
when he was defeated by James w.
Murphy of Platteville. During his first
term Mr.. Babcock was chairman OF the
committee on the District of Columbia.
He had been in business all his life and
rapidly grasped the duties of laWmaker
and early in his Congressional career he
was made vice chairman of the national
Republican congressional committee. lie
was made chairman of the committee
upon reelection in 1894 and served in
that capacity in all congressional cam
paigns up to 1904. He also served on
the ways and means committee OF the
House.
Mr.. Babcock was married in 1856! to
Mary A. Finch of Lyons, La. They
have one son, Charles f., who is a resi-
dent of Necedah, and who was at the
bedside at the time of his fathers death.
Since his retiring from public life Mr..
Babcock has made his home in Wash
ington, where during his long career Ill
Congress he had made many friends.

Western, Cannda's Happy Prospects.

Western Canada's Happy Prospects.
| In no year since the development OF
Western Canada began has spring
brought brighter outlook than 1t
brings this year. In no preceding
spring has there been greater assur-
ance of advancing development and
prosperity. The movement of 1mmigra-
ton has already assumed large proper
tons, and is as desirable in character
as it is satisfactory in volume; from
across the Atlantic sturdy, 1ndustrl-
GUS and thrifty newcomers are arr1V-
ing in large numbers, homeseekers
from Ontario and the other older
provinces, are coming in a steady
stream, and from across the interna-
tional boundary a movement is already
in full flow which, it is confidently
predicted, will beat the records of all
previous years; special settlers trains
are crossing the line, loaded with eff
fects, actual material wealth being
thus brought into the country at the
rate of millions of dollars worth
monthly.
The movement is so unprecedently
large that extra Dominion Immigra-
ton officials have had to be provided
at both North Portal and at Emerson,
and it is, estimated that the total num-
| Der of new settlers from the United
States this year will be 10000 at least,
and may run well up toward 100000.
| Last years total of new settlers from
the South was 53,723 thus the area
that will be placed in wheat and other
grains this year will greatly exceed
that of last year. Settlers are making
extraordinary efforts to get on their
| lands and begin seeding operations.
The price Of wheat now, away above
the dollar mark, is incentive enough,
and when one has in view the splen-
did results that the past few years
have shown, it is not to be wondered
at that the present will be the banner
year for immigration to Canada. Ask
| your nearest Canadian government
agent for rates Of transportation, and
he will also send you illustrated
| pamphlets.

The men who ride in motor cars,
For better highways clamor:

They want the earth upholstered.
