IS THERE AIN EXODUS
FROM CANADIAN FARMS?
Report Says Settlers Are Pouring Into
Washington, oregon and Montana
Land About All Taken

An unusually heavy movement of
homeseekers this spring into various
parts of the arid west is indicated bv
reports that have come to the reclama-
ton service at Washington, D. C. There
have been settlers pouring into Mon
tana, Oregon and Washington, and
large numbers have been seeking the
milder climate of the southwest.
A cheering feature in connection
with the movement is said to be the
return of thousands of American citi-
zens of Canada, offsetting in a measure
the exodus of others across into the
dominion. This had grown to consido--
able proportions. In the fiscal year 1909,
the departures to Canada from United
States points aggregated 72,349 persons,
of which 31,781 were citizens. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 have returned.
For the nine months ended March 81,
$4,000 Americans went to Canada. Ex-
tensive railroad building is now in pro-
gress in Montana Idaho, Washington
and Oregon. The estimate has been
made that an area of 100000 acres
of land in Oregon alone soon will be
available for settlement.
On the reclamation projects in all
these states the influx of settlers is
rapidly increasing. At the present rate
of settlement every farm unit included
in the government projects thus far
complete will be taken up before the
close of the year. On nine of these
projects not a single acre of public
land is unentered, and the remaining
projects do not contain all told more
than 800 farms available for settle
ment.

Fiend Innoculated Victims With Cholera
Bacilli in st. Petersburg.
st. Petersburg.-The mysterious death
of young and wealthy army officer,
Count Bouturlin, has led to the discov-
cry of an extensive murder agency.
Bouturlin's brother-in-law, Count de
Lassy, and his physician, DR.. Patchen-
ko, who attended Bouturlin at De
Lassy's suggestion, are both under ar
rest. DR.. Patchenko confessed to the
police that he innoculated Bouturlin
with cholera bacilli. He admitted he
poisoned other wealthy persons in a
similar manner during the recent
cholera epidemic, under the pretense
of innoculating them against the di-
sease. For this work he was paid huge
sums of money by relatives of the =
Tins.

Blackmail, But

The parsimony of the old New Englander of the type now al- most vanished was nobly exem- plifed in Benny Huntington, who lived with his maiden sister in a little town in Western Mass achusetts. Neither had ever spent penny unnecessarily, and when, in his old age, MT. Benny became crippled with "the rheu- Inatiz," and had, as we'll, strange futterings of the heart, which were unrelieved by the best re- comended "yarb teas," they were greatly shocked at the sug- gestions and warnings of their friends and neighbors that they ought to send for a docter. MT. Benny refused, declared his scorn of the entire medical profession, and continued to save his pen nies.
 But the pain grew worse. Mir. Benny was confined to his bed, in great agony, and overheard some of the neighbors telling his sister that he was gong to die. Then he sent for an old school mate, a man as "careful" as him. self.
 Josiah" he asked, in a low confidential tone, "haveyouev ever had a doctor?"
 Josiah shook his head. "Dunno as I have" he answered.
 MT. Benny reached out and laid a trembling hand upon his old friends arm. Josiah, he asked again, "did you ever hear how much one O them doctors charges for a visit?'
 Ios1ah looked at his suffering friend with pltying sympathy. Well" he said, breaking it as gently as he could, "well, 1 have heard, Benny, that they charge as much as two dollars a visitl"
 1.-Two Dollars!" Mir. Benny repeated. Two DollarsI" Then he sank back on his pillow, and seighed, in a voice of strangely mingled relief, regret and resig- nation, "Well, 1 dunno but I'd rather spend five dollars than die!"-St. Paul Dispatch.

and those who have rented farms have had their rent raised as the price of land ln- creased. These Iowa farmers who have emmigrated-proba- bly, mostly tenants-have evil dently not been very prosper ous, or they would not leave their homes and their neigh bors and their friends to go to new countries and begin all over again with all the hard ships of frontier life. No won- der that in Iowa and in all the Western states where similar conditions prevail there has been a general demand for tariff revision downward; for 1t is very evident that protection does not protect the farmer, but plunders him.

IS NO LITTLE O danger that in seeking
 to enforce more rigid

/\ AAHA>T N M Ok danger that in seeking
 to enforce more rigid economy in the Government service a loss of efficiency will result. For this reason, 1t is likely that the special Board appointed by the President to cut down expenses will find 1t necessary to view with the closest attention all the plans submitted for promoting econ omy. One proposal which has already encountered criticism Is the plan suggested by the Post Office Department to save money in the registry di- vision, amounting to some thousands of dollars annually, by not returning to the sender a receipt for a registered letter or package unless an explicit request is made for 1t. One of the principal things which makes the registry service effectual and desireable is the return of receipts to the send CT. showing that the nerson to whom the article was address ed received it. Many persons will not think about the new rule and there will be a flood of complaints following the putting into effect of such a rule, which will be likely to convince the department that the rule was unwise. Another result will be the decrease of registry business. The latter, probably, is not looked for or desired, but it will follow. Economy is good thing, but it has always been held here tofore that in the Post Office Department especially, efici- ency should come ahead of economy. Otherwise, means might long ago have been found to cut expenses, and the rural free delivery service, among other things, would never have been inaugrated.

The Republicans have been declaring they are not respon- sible for high prices, and yet they have always charged the Democrats for being respon- sible for low prices. It must be a poor rule that works for the Republicans both ways.

7HE FARMER WHO

. owns a farm Is the par
 ticular person who is fixed. Banks may fail and fac tories close, workmen strike and mines suspend, merchants fail and town burn, times may be paniky and even crops may be short but the farmer who owns his acres will get along. He will live in comfort and quiet, with plenty to eat, drink and wear. He Is the most in- dependent man on earth. Yet there are lots of them who do not appreciate their situation.

At<+fHAT HAS CAUSED

pulatiOn since 1900! Secretary Wilson has told us that the tariff Is making the farmers prosperous, and yet thousands have moved away from this l prosperity to seek other and more inviting fields. Is 1t pos sible that the bleak prair1es of Northwestern Canada, where corn will not ripen, offer better prospects for successful farming than the rich lands of Iowa?
 The fact is, Secretary Will son is mistaken and the farn- CTS know 1t, else why their intense demand for real tariff revision. The only Iowa farm CTS that the tariff helps are those who raise sheep, for they benefit by the tariff of I2 cents per pound on wool. But there were in 1909 only 747,ooo sheep in Iowa (see yearbook of the Department of Agricul- ture, p. 73o), and the number is decreasing; for according to the same authority there were 8oo,ooo sheep of shearing age in 1908 (see page 732), which shows a reduction of 53,ooo in one year.
 In these same official statis- tics the price of sheep on the rdrrn appears to be decl1n1ng; for in 1908 the average price in the United States IS quoted at s3.S8 per head, while i'll 1909 the price had declined to s3.43 (see page 729). This does not indicate that the farmers are getting their share of the prosperity which the Republicans assure us IS due to the protective tariff. Even their sheep and wool on which they are protected do not seem to be adding to their prosperi- ty; and on nothing else than wool is the Iowa farmer really protected by the tariff.
 The price of wool has de clined since the passage of the new tariff law, although the very high protection on wool and woolens was not changed. At St. Louis the highest price reached in January 1908 for best tub-washed was B cents a pound; while during Decem- Der of the same year the price fell to 28 cents per pound There are no later government statistics published, but the Daily Herald of Quincy, Hi. nois, November 4, 1910 in its market report of the price O. hides and wool says: "Wool- Although prices are not ad vancing just yet the market i. toning up.
