WESTERN CANADA'S
HAPPY PROSPECTS.

In no year since the development or
Western Canada began has spring
brought a brighter outlook than it
brings this year. In no preceding
spring has there been greater assur-
ance of advancing development and
prosperity. The movement of immi-
grafton has already assumed large pro-
portions, and is as desirable in char
acter as it is satisfactory in volume;
from across the Atlantic sturdy, indus
trious and thrifty newcomers are ar
irving in large numbers, homeseekers
from Ontario and the other older
Provinces are coming in steady
tional boundary a movement is al
ready in full flow, which, it is conf
IDENTIFY predicted, will beat the records
of all previous years; special settlers
trains are crossing the line, loaded
with effects, actual material wealth
being thus brought into the country at
the rate of millions of dollars worth
monthly.
The movement is so Unprecedented
ly 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 set
tiers from the South was 53,723; thus
the area that will be placed inwheat
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 opera
lions. The price of wheat now, away
above the dollar mark, is incentive
enough, and when one has in view the
splendid results that the past few
years have shown, it is not to be won
dered at that the present will be the
banner year for immigration to Can
ada. Ask your nearest Canadian Gov

ton, and he will also send you illus

It became plain that must change.
Then | began to use Grape-Nuts food

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces.
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
err strength than other makes.

Speaking in strong Endorsement of
the policy of the waterway improve

enthusiasm in the opening hour of
the sixth convention of the national
rivers and harbors congress here yes
terday
Hundreds of delegates, represent
ing every section of the United States,
filled the great banquet hall, where
they sat under their state banners
Men and women delegates arose
when the arrival of the president was
announced, and gave their visitor a
noisy welcome, concluding the dem
onstration with three cheers AMI a
tiger.
Upon being presented to the assem-
blage by Joseph E. Ransdell, presi-
dent of the congress, Mr.. Taft spoke
at length. dwelling upon his interest
in the waterway improvements and
offering advice to the delegates upon
methods for attaining ends they seek.

said Mr.. Taft, ION having brought the
subject Of waterways to such point
that representatives in congress-
from one end of the country to the
other recognize it as subject that
calls for action.

think that wise position to take;
and yet. when 1t comes to the prac-
teal enforcement and accomplish
ment of something. you have got to
get into projects.
Now, 1 don't think l betray Sc
cret when l say that the gentleman
who has most to do with initiation of
projects in congress is fully charged
with the necessity for doing some
thing in the next congress to foresha-
dow, or rather, to begin policy
with respect to those rivers"
After referring to various water
ways projects in detail the president
continued:
"A few years ago President Roose-
welt and l were together on plat
form before the conservation of re-
sources convention in which both ad-
vocated issuing bonds that a project

is entitled to as rapid method of de-
veloping an enterprise and putting it
through as private corporations ana,
as they always issue bonds, or gen.
orally do, to expedite completion of
these projects, it would seem wise
for the nation to do so, where it

caution, You are going to encounter
in congress great opposition to the
policy of issuing bonds right out of
hand. You are much more likely
to get from congress a declaration |
that certain improvement ought to
be carried out and spread upon the
minutes of congress in the form of a |
resolution or a declaration in a stat
ute. What | advise you to do is to
get that declaration.
Then, when the time comes that |
political exigency shall prevent the |
appropriation of sufficient funds from |
the current revenues to put the prop
er part of the project through the
year or the coming two years,
as economy requires, then the ques-
ton of issuing bonds will arise. II
