SILHOUETTES OF
WESTERN CANADA

The man from Iowa began to tall
land before the train was well out Of
the c. N. r. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush to the land, the bumper crop, the
system of summer following pursued
in the semi-arid districts, were all
discussed, and then, with a sort OF
apologize smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm bit interested in this country
myself. Some of the men down home
got a few sections up here along this
line, and I'm going to have a look Mt
them. Never been up in Canada be-

western Americans pronounce the
name of the Dominion as if it was
"Can'dy")-"but if 1t looks good we
will be up to stay next fall"
you see, it's like this" said the
man from Iowa-quite manifestly con.
tinuing an argument that had been go.
ing on in his mind for some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $40 or $50 an acre for it, and
every farm that's offered is snapped
up. In Saskatchewan we have just as
good land that cost us S11 and $12, so
that man can take up five or six
times as much there as in Iowa on the
same investment of money.
ut isn't the money, though, that
brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that money would be enough.
The invasion is a family affair. We
have no chance of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have
to leave the farm and go into the big
cities of the neighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with us, we come up here
and make little colonies with the chill.
dIen around us, on homesteads or
bought land. This makes it easier for
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes. The fam.
lilies that come to Canada are kept
together and the families that buy
the farms they leave are kept to-
gether, too. There won't be any slack.
ening of the rush, either, for they still
raise big families back in Iowa"
One could almost see the mental
process of this typical American farm.
er in defending step that meant a
new flag. a new allegiance, new
land, and new associates. To aban-
don Old Glory of the Declaration of
Independence for a good thing in
cheap land would hardly be playing
the game, but to go out into Sas-
katchewan to keep the family togeth-
err" was another and a quite higher
motive.
Why seek too closely to analyze the
reasons for the greatest land trek in
the history of America? 1t is enough

Increased Price of Elk T..,b

During the last five years the value

patch. I'm 1904 you could get any num-
Der OF fine specimens in Idaho. Mon.

Tor $3.50 apiece. Now you will pay
from $3.50 to $40, and they are hard
to get for even that. The Apache,
Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indj-
ans used to have dozens of them In
their possession and traded them for
trinkets. But the redskin got wise to
their value, and you can buy them
from a regular dealer cheaper now
than from the Indian. The passing
OF the elk and the great demand made
by the members of the Elk lodge for
teeth for emblems have boosted the
price,"
The traveller recited an incident of
an Oklahoman who bought robe COW
cred with elk teeth from a Wichita
Indian for 800. He cut off the teeth
and cleaned up $4,000 on the deal.

ATHLETICS IN SCHOOL.

We note with great deal of pleas
ure the interest that the school boys
of Laurens are taking IN athletics this
year. The assistance and encourage
ment given them by the school au-
thorities are noteworthy stamps of
approval that speak well for their
knowledge of what Is beneficial to the
growing boy. The bodily exercise
that the young scholar receives daily
either on the football field. the base
ball field or the tennis court runs al
most parallel benefcialry to the mind
exercise that he receives in the class
room.
The outdoor exercise in every game
produces both mental and physi.
cal development. No one, of course
will deny that outdoor makes the
participant stronger and healthier And
no one will deny that the robust. heal.
thy child is far more capable OF learn.
