hunter, John Darby, used to attach
two pieces of Irvine to the back of an

Then when balanced he would keep
it, 80 to speak, on the swing by gently
manipulating the Irvine or reins he
held in his hand. A rough pull would,
of course, nave upset the chair one

WHY NOT OWN LAND7

One of the Best Way. to Make

Canada.
Deep down in the nature of every
properly constituted man is the desire
10 own some land" A writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely ex-
presses a 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
article The fact is not disguised that
the writer has a personal interest in
the statement of his case and there is
no hidden meaning when he refers TO
Western Canada as presenting greater
possibilities than any other part of the
American Continent to the man who
is inclined to till the soil for a liveli-
hood aid possible competence. What
interests one are the arguments adj
vanced by this writer. and when fair
" 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 conditions of
Western Canada are fully as good as
those of Minnesota. the Dakotas or
Iowa. the productiveness of the soil is
as great. the social conditions are on
a parity. the laws are as we'll estab-
lished 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 en-
braced? The hundreds of thousands
of settlers now there. whose homes
were originally in the United States,
appear to be-are satisfied. Once in
a while complaints are heard, but the
Canadians have never spoken of the
country as an EldOradO, no matter
what they may haze thought. The
writer happened TO have at hand Il
few letters. written by former residents

recommending additional interstate
commerce legislation and the other re

passed several bills on the calendar.

dentally there was reference to the

whole debate hinged on the newspaper
story stating that Major Edgar o.

pany the President. and that in order
to do so he had been put in the retired
