Why NOT OWN LAND?
ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO
MAKE MONEY is TO INVEST
IN WESTERN CANADA.

"Deep down in the nature of every
properly constituted man is the desire
to own some land" A writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely ex-
presses well-known truth. The ques-
ton is where is the best land to be
had at the lowest prices, and this the
same writer points out in the same ar
ticle. The fact is not disguised that
the writer has personal interest in
the statement of his case, and there is
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada as presenting great
er possibilities than any other part of
the American Continent, to the man
who is inclined to till the soil for a
livelihood and possible competence.
What interests one are the arguments
advanced by this writer, and when
fairly analysed the conclusion is
reached that no matter what personal
interest the writer may have had, his
reasons appear to have the quality of
great soundness. The climatic condi-
lions of Western Canada are fully as
good as those of Minnesota, the Dako-
tas or Iowa, the productiveness of the
soil is as great, the social conditions
are on a parity, the laws are as we'll
established and as carefully observed.
In addition to these the price of land
is much less, easier to secure. So, with
these advantages, why shouldn't this
the offer of Western Canada-be
embraced. The hundreds of thousands
of settlers now there, whose homes
were originally in the United States,
appear to be-are satisfied. Once in
awhile complaints are heard but the
Canadians have never spoken of the
country as an EIdorado no matter
what they may have thought. The
writer happened to have at hand few
letters, written by former residents OF
the United States, from which one or
two extracts are submitted. These go
to prove that the writer in the Regis
ter has a good basis of fact III support
of his statements regarding the excel
lency of the grain growing area of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
On the 10Th of April of this year w.
r. Conley, of Lougheed, Alberta, wrote
q friend in Detroit. He says: THE
weather has been just fine ever since
I came here in March, and | believe
one could find if he wanted to some
small punches of snow around the
edge of the lake. There is frost near
1y every morning: at sunrise it begins
to fade away, then those blue flow
ers open and look as fresh as if there
had been no frost for week. . :.
There is no reason why this country
should not become a garden of Eden;
the wealth is in the ground and only
needs little encouragement from the
government to induce capital in here.
There is everything here to build
with: good clay for brick; coal under
meath, plenty of water in the spring
lakes, and good springs coming out OF
the banks"

LONG TRIP MADE BY MAILBAG.
Sack of Letters Went $1,000 Miles to
Overtake Cruiser.

After a four-months' chase and trav-
cling $4,000 miles, a sack of mail has
been delivered to the United States
armored cruiser Milwaukee at Bre-
merton, Wash.
Before it finally caught up with the
big cruiser, this sack of mail had gone
to San Francisco, Honolulu, back to
San Francisco, Panama, then to Hon
duras, back to San Francisco again,
and finally Bremerton. in all more
than 10000 miles.
One day last July the sack of mail
was placed aboard a fast mail train
and hurried to Chicago, where it was
transhipped to ore of the transconti-
mental expresses for San Francisco,
where the Milwaukee was in port. But
before the mail arrived Commander
Rogers of the Milwaukee received a
hurry up order from Washington to
sail for Honolulu.
On the day before the Milwaukee
was due in Honolulu the sack of mail
was started on the same journey in a
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1909-01-14
Imprisoned with the Dead.


Prof Palermo of the University Of
Messina lost two sons.
Il was sleeping in my bed, he said,
when l was thrown out of bed, which
fell on top of me. The ceiling col.
lapsed, the floor opened and | was
thrown into the first floor apartment
of Nine Pernici. She was reaching
for her sister and son, Wi:om we
found dead. We remained All day
and night alone without help, keeping
the rain off with planks.
THUS we were without food or
drink among the screams of the bur-
led. The latter ceased somewhat at
night. No one came with assistance
and we were as if in tomb alongside
the bodies. Children, wounded, were
around us, but invisible under the
ruins and weeping in despair or burst,
ing into piercing cries at every sound
heard without. When we finally es-
capped from the ruins we were taken
by sailors to the Cristoforo Colombo,
which brought us to Naples.
I'VE passed through streets that
felt as if they were the bottoms of
valleys or climbed heights which were
all that remained of the finest palaces
of Messina. | will never forget it as
long as / live

heaped, their desperate attitude and
contorted features showing the horror
of the death struggles.
The ruins of the buildings formed
hillocks 80 feet high, under which
thousands of persons were buried. The
vessel was soon loaded down to it's
utmost capacity with survivors and
then steamed to this city.
All along the way it was seen that
the smiling villages on the Calabrian
coast had disappeared. Both Scylla
and Charybdis had vanished with
them.
In Naples public buildings and pri-
vate houses were thrown open to the
refugees and everything possible was
done for their comfort. The duchess
of Aosta was interchangeable in her min
istrations, going from steamship to
steamship and bringing to the suffer
ers a word of comfort The wounded
were carried to the ambulances be-
tween two files of soldiers to protect
them from the too expressive mani
festations of sympathy from the crowd
that had gathered at the piers. The
means of transportation was aug
mented by strong arms of sympa-
thizers, in which some of the more
seriously wounded were carried in lieu
CO filters.
The commander of the Russian bat
t1eship Makharoff, who brought word
Of American Consul Cheney's death,
described the fearful scenes at Mes
sina. He declared that many OF the

efforts were made to drag them from
the wreckage.
