history goes Cache Valley was en-

and three or four companies, who
stopped on the south side of the Yal-

Not long after the meeting in Lows

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 tee best land to be
had at the lowest prices, and this the
same writer points out N the same ar
ticle. The fact is nos 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 condt
tons 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 Eldorado no, matter
what they may have thought The
writer happened to have at hand a few
letters, written by former residents OF
the United States, from which one OF
two extracts are submitted. These go
to prove that the writer in the Regis
ter has a good basis of fact in support
of his statements regarding the excel
lency of the grain growing area OF
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
On the goth Of April of this year w.
R. Conley, OF Lougheed, Alberta, wrote
a friend in Detroit. He says: 1.-The
weather has been just fine ever since
1 came here in March, and I believe
one could find if he wanted to some
small punches of snow around the
edge of the lake. There is frost near
ly every morning: at sunrise it begina
to fade away, then those blue flow.
ers open and look as fresh as if there
had been no frost for a 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

the dealer, Historically. You wouldn't

Fade away" said the versatile
rogue. I'm havin me holiday now,
and l can't be disturbed by vulgar
tradesmen.'
Lacy Immediately realized the mis-
take he had made and, learning the
character of the telegram that had
been sent to Scotland Yard, made
quick preparations for shortening his
vacation at the coy seashore resort
He acted with characteristic disregard
of conventionalities He summoned a
fisherman and hired him to take him
out in a small boat, and hailed Cas-
tie liner which was bound for South
Africa By the aid of a clever cock
and bull story he induced the cap
tain to take him aboard and before
the Scotland Yard man reached Mar
gaze Lacy WAS Ce1lIuly me sea
on his way to Cape Town
Superintendent Froest Immediately
telegraphed to the authorities at Cape
Town, describing Lacy, and instruct
ing them to apprehend the man on his
arrival at that porE. Lacy managed to
get ashore and strolled about the At
rican city, admiring the botanic gar
dens and the astronomical observatory
with the enthusiasm of a tourist
whose only desire is to prof1tably
while away an idle hour. He was in
specting the fine new docks of the
place when the agent of Scotland
Yard clapped his hand on his shoulder
and placed him under arrest. Lacy
submitted with perfect good grace and
was formally lodged in jail at Cape
Town Arrangements were made to
have him returned to England the fol
lowing day.
But, alas. his satisfaction was pre-
mature, for the daring Lacy jumped
of the train while it was in motion
and disappeared in the depths of a

the train stopped at the next station

the police archives of New York,
Chicago, London, Paris, Vienna and
Berlin. Beginning as a prototype of
the Artful Dodger, he has gone from
pocket-picking to bunco steering. and
then run the entire gamut of crime,
stopping -providentially, perhaps
at murder
Frank Macy, the doubtful hero of
this queer story, was born at F'reeport,
ILL., There are many old residents in
that place who still recall him as a
precocious baby, a smart boy, and
clever youth Freeport soon proved to
be too small to satisfy his bullying
genius, but even before he left his
birthplace he made little excursions
from the paths of virtue which, in the
boy, are so often prophetic of the
mans career. When he reached mans
estate he was tall and as straight as
an Indian. He had coal-black hair and
a sallow complexion, which lighted up
brightly whenever he Was in a humor
to be affable with his fsalow-man.
1t was in Chicago that Frank Macy
first distinguished himself in crime A
little more than doZer. years ago an
advertisement appeared in the Chica-
go papers stating thai a wealthy
widow, about to take a long trip
abroad, was willing to sell her favor
lite horse .tDobbin.i
After the money had been paid.
and within "a hours, DO5bin began to
undergo a most curious transforma-
ton What had been a magnificent
specimen of horseflesh began to show
strange signs of decrepitude. He shriv-
eled up, as it were; it seems almost
impossible to properly describe this
marvellous transformation in mere
words.
The scene now shifts from Chicago
to Lows Exchange In Trafalgar
Square, London Wilkie at that time
was the London correspondent of an
American paper, and while standing
| in the corridor of this hostelry he was
surprised to see his old-time -Gyp'

] his name on the hotel register Macy
