MIR. LAWSON SAYS
SECURE A HOME NOW

The man who buys land with q
view to home-making need not
eliminate entirely the speculative
feature from his proposed invest
ment. AS much clear profit has
been made out of the farms in
Western Canada from enhanced
land values, as from the products
of the soil itself. This is the gen.
eral experience in all new coun-
tries. The fact should not be lost
sight of that the only elements
that give value to land are popu-
lation and transportation. With
out these, the best land is worth
less. Northern British Columbia
is a present wilderness, but its
days of desolation are about end
ed. Population and Transports
tion will come surely and swiftly
as the eagle flies. The merchant,
manufacturer, miner, farmer,
banker, stockman, wage Garner,
and all will prosper beyond their
best expectations in the great new
country, where every man and
woman, regardless of vocation will
have a chance to win the golden
prize of Success. The pendulum Is
swinging your way now, perhaps,
after many years of waiting for
opportunity to unlock the gate to
you
Don't turn away from it.
Many have taken advantage OF
our advice and not one regrets it..

Judge Thad Huston vacating the

Then the husband decided he

INQUIRY
into KILLING
|. Of HOLSTED

Lack of sufficient evidence to
connect Motorman Snyder with
responsibility for the death of
Joseph Holsted, of Fern Hill. who
was struck and killed by a T. r.
& P. car on the Fern Hill bridge
Friday evening, has caused Cor
.oner Shaver to drop the investi-
cation. No inquest over Hol-
sted'S remains will be held and
the funeral is set for tomorrow
afternoon.
81 can't find out who the wom-
an is who was riding on the car, -
said the coroner this morning,
land the statement of Grocery
man c. o. Brown, regarding Sny-
der's conversation over the te1e-
phone after the accident, is un-
supported. Snyder says he only
talked to the woman enough to
answer a few civil questions.
None of the passengers seem to
know much about it except that
they saw a woman on the car.
The light on the car was out just
before IL struck Snyder, that Is
all l can definitely ascertain. II

SWITCHMEN NOT
ASKING FOR
FUNDS

Branding the collection Of
funds for the striking switchmen
as the work of takers, the local
order of switchmen have issued
an indignant denial that they are
financially embarrassed.
I'VE have learned that certain
persons have been posing as
|switchmen and collecting funds
for the support of the strike"
said Secretary Gottry this morn
ing. These people are not au-
thorized by the switchmen to col
lect a cent, and are imposters."
There is no change in the strike
situation. The local men still re-
fuse to go back to work, and the
Northern Pacific and Great North
ern roads continue to operate
freight as best they may with

Grinnell, Feb. 3.-The present out
look for the building of the Waterloo.
Pella & Southwestern railroad, is not
very hopeful according to the pub
lished statement of President B. F..
Keables, Of Pella. He says that almost
100000 has been voted along the line
of the proposed railway in taxes, and
about $4,000 given by private parties
for the preliminary expenses. The
taxes are not collectible unless the road
is completed by Jan. /. 1910. The laws
of Iowa will not permit the officials to
sell the bonds below par, and they find
ii impossible to place them at par.
while they aver they could easily do
SO at a reasonable discount. The sale
of such bonds at q discount they claim,
has been the universal custom in the
building Of railroads. inasmuch as
there is always a speculative feature in
the investment of funds in a railroad
that is yet untried. and may from var
ious reasons not be a money maker
for some time after its completion.
Mr.. keables puts in plea for the
amendment of the Peterson bill passed
at the last session of the legislature.
