WITH The TEN PIN ROLLERS
Match Games Between Omaha and st

SCOTT MAKES NEW HIGH RECORD
Crack Bowler OF Mercantile League
Rolls asa In One Game, with
Total Of D for
Three.

The match games between the st. Joseph
and Omaha teams that were to be bowled
the coming Saturday and Sunday have been
postponed until a week following, the st.
Joseph bowlers being unable to complete
arrangements so that all could be present.
However, this disappointment will be off
set by the fact that instead of one team,
two teams will come and instead OF but
three games, six will be played.
The Storz Triumphs and the Metz Bros.
teams will tackle the visitors first and then
picked teams from the various leagues will
have a tryout. The Storz Triumphs are
now in the lead in the Omaha league. This
is the first time in three years that the
Metz team has been out of the lead, at
this time of the season. The Metz team
has bowled three less games than the
Storz men. These will be bowled Friday
night, however, and # will be up to the
Metz five to win them all In order to still
maintain the leadership.
The Molony and Triumph match was
bowled against new pins last night, maxi
Ing scores Of 2,T35 and ash. respectively.
Had Zimmerman been able to get away
from some Of the bad splits he drew in
the last game, a new single game mark
would ave been made.
The Booster league is disposing Of a SIS
bowling ball, the proceeds Of which will
go toward the fund to send their best to

Scott's single game mark of 254 and his
total for three games of sos, sets a new
mark in the Mercantile league and places
him high man in the average column.
Art Metz will nave to get busy with his

10000 AMERICAN
SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA
THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY
PER CENT IN AMERICAN
settlement.

Recent advices from Canada, our
next door neighbour, the neighbourly
country across the boundary line,
are that upwards of ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
into Western Canada during the past
year, most of them for the purpose OF
taking up and settling upon the va
cant lands, 100 acres Of which arS
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars
per acre were paid, the price would be
low, as the lands produce wonderfully,
and at these higher figures there is a
large interest on the money and labor
invested. The ninety thousand set
tiers of last year, followed about sixty
thousand of the previous year, and for
several years the number has been
running into these large figures. There
must be a reason for it. 1t may be
found in the single phrase, "they are
satisfied" Nothing attracts people
more than the success of others, and
the news of this reaching other thou
sands, causes them to investigate. The
investigation in this case is always
satisfactory. The splendid land of
Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio
and other States has risen to high
value, and it is worth every dollar
asked for it. But there is not room
now for all on these lands. With the
ever increasing demand for grain,
there comes the ever increasing de.
mand for land. Canada IS the only
country on the continent in a position
to supply it. Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an acre, produces
on a reasonable calculation, Is bushels
of wheat to the acre, or about $4,000.
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $3.50 per
acre, leaving balance of $3.50 per
acre. The $3.50 carries good wages
able contingencies. With conditions
like this, covering the entire area Of
about 100000 square miles, it is read
lily understood why 10000 Americans
should follow the sixty thousand of
the previous year. Canadian Govern
ment Agencies at different points in
the Union are always ready to give in
formation regarding the free home
stead lands, ready to advise the set
tier as to the districts which would
suit him best.

Lucy, "but we aren't going to be here

stopped abruptly.
"But come" Ransom urged her, "I

you were talking about me-"
~ suppose it YVES because we were

you were living there. You are still

sudden eagerness.
"To be sure" he answered, "iust
been in New York on business. You
will surely stop off with me, you and
your aunt. You weren't going through
without letting me know?"
Lucy shook her head in the mega.
tive.
Lets have your address. Perhaps
l can persuade you If l write"
Lucy opened her handbag and took
out a small gold pencil. Then she
leaned over the seat ahead. Aunt
Louise" she said, twill you give me

was producing it she had whispered
conversation with her
"You understand, don't you? Thank
you so much" Ransom heard hel
say. She took the card and, crossing
off the "Miss Louise Elting," wrote
miss l.. Preston" Then she hesitat
ed a second and gave her address II

mail will be forwarded from there"
Further argument being useless
Ransom gave himself up to such i'm
personal conversation as happened tt

the two at Philadelphia, he though
he saw a look Of regret come int
Lucys eyes, AID then, just for mo
ment, something seemed to linger OF

"Seats ahead" called the brakeman
as the Philadelphia express was draw
ing out of the New York terminal, and
Ransom Pratt made his way past the
projecting bundles of his Christmas
laden fellow travellers into the car
ahead.
The waving feather on Lucy's small
black hat, bobbing to keep time to her
energetic tongue, struck Ransom for
an instant as something uncanny, for
he had been thinking of her only a
moment before.
Hello, Lucy" he said, dropping
into his old schoolboy familiarity as
he seized her outstretched hand.
Lucy, with ill-concealed embar-
rassment at the meeting, introduced
him to her aunt, Miss Elting.

crowded past Lucy into the aisle.
"There is room ahead she explained,

Lucy looked entreatingly at her
aunt with a look in her eyes that
made Ransom uncomfortable. please
don't co." she said, but it was too late.
Ransom had already taken his unwel-

old-time enthusiasm. "And the funny
part of it is that l was just going to
write to YOU"
you're always Just going to- do
things, Ransom, interrupted Lucy.
"Well, truly was this time, and I'll
tell you why. I have few days off
at Christmas, and 1 thought I'd spend
them with YOU"
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Lucy asked with shade of disappoint-
ment, before had made other plans"
II thought you'd like it better if it
came as SURPRISE" said Ransom
simply. "But it's all the better now,
because I won't have to waste time 60
