10000 AMERICAN
SETTLERS co
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 are
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining acid by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even II 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
nd 10 ,Tnrtb Inliar
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 position
to supply it. Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an acre, produces
on n reasonable calculation, % 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 a balance of $3.50 per
acre. The $3.50 carries good wages
for the farmer, and all other conceiv-
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
m"au 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 host.

ACorner in Ancestors
Guild, Guile and Gle Family

BY FRANCIS co VILE

Their three children that lived to
maturity were Samuel, John and Eliza
beth Samuel was a member of Capt
Mosleys company in King Philips war
in 1915, and was brave soldier.
Johns second son, Samuel's brother,
also named John, removed to Wren
than in 1881, and was made deacon OF
the church there in 1907. He had eight
children, and likewise founded a big
branch of the family. Descendants of
Dedham branch Of the family later
moved to Lebanon, Walpole and Attic
borough.
In the meantime Samuel, brother OF
John of Dedham, had settled at Pen
tuchet, now Haverhill, Mass, and he
had established a big family there un-
der the name of Guile or Gile. which
his descenants bear to this day. So by
the third or fourth generation the
Guild, Gle and Guile families really
all the same, were numerous through.
out New England, and other parts of
the east. Now, of course, the family
extends all over the United States
One of the members of the fourth
generation, Nathaniel, descended from
John of Dedham, had a big mine
which he work d in connection with
an iron furnace He made wheels,
shot, gun carriages and other nipple.
ments of warfare, and when the revo-
lutiOnary war broke out, his business
received a big boom. So he petition.
ed the government that the men in
his foundry be exempted from service
in the militia service, so that he may
be able to supply garrison wheels and
shot for the service" This request
was granted in 1916.
Samuel of the fourth generation
moved to New York state. He had
bought some land in that state for his
sons, Samuel, Joel and Elijah. 1t was
the custom then to let the cattle range
the uncultivated fields, and sometimes
they would wander miles away from
home. One day Samuel Joel and
Elijah were out searching for some
strayed animals, when they came to
al lutdl SpbI near lut tHdullld river,
They wrote to their father to come
there and buy land for himself and
settle. SO in 1892 their father Samuel
sold all his goods and started out
with his money and his clothes in his
saddle bags, the money well hidden
among the clothes. He became a
prominent member of the community
in the part of the state where he set
tied, and helped organize the first
church. and the first school; his hos.
pitality to phone ers passing his way
was noted throughout the state.

StraWbridge Family

The SuaWbridge, Srobridge and
SUoWbridge families are all descended
presumably from the same family in
the north Of Ireland, where they had
come from England. whore the family
had been prominent for several gener-
atoms, and was known as Trowbridge,
Strowbridge, Strawbridge, Trobridge,
Throwbrdge and Trobblebridge. They
took their name from the place where
they had lived for generations in the
parish of Creditor, Deyonshire. Eng

THERE is something significant about
the straw ballots" as published in the
daily papers that the reading public
has probably overlooked, and yet is an
important point that should be taken
into consideration, and especially by
prospective republican candidates for
the legislature. 1t will be noticed in
the publication of the totals Wilson is
credited with so many, Burke with so
many, PoindeXter so many, and not a
vote cast for democratic candidate
for senator. There is either fraud in
the taking of these straw ballots, or
democratic voters are united in sup
porting some one of these republican
candidates for the senate. The demo-
cratic party of Washington is not en-
tirely obliterated. 1t is a too vigorous,
aggressive, recuperative an organiza-
ton to suddenly give up its existence
We have taken an active part in polit-
ical campaigns in Washington as ter
ritory and state, for nearly 80 years,
and have never failed to find democracy
wide awake, active and up and COM
ing. No less than thrice during that
period have the democrats carried
Washington. In every campaign re-
publicans have felt it necessary to keep
up the fight until the day of election.
Now here is a case where it looks as
though democracy had thrown up its
hands and quit. But no one can be
fooled by such deceptive appearances.
There are still democrats, and lots of
them. They have simply joined hands
with the insurgents, as they joined
hands with the populists and active
republicans, and will endeavor to de-
feat the dominant party at the prima-
ries and at the Novembe election.
The democratic support is concentrated
on Poindexter. The most ardent sup
porters of Poindexter in the state are
the democratic papers. He would be
almost without shadow of following
were it not for his democratic support
ers, and democrats would not support
him for a moment if they did not be-

COUNT HIM IN.

The followers of Poindexter sneer-
ingly refer to those who cannot extend
aid and comfort to democracy through
the medium of insurgency as stand
patters." 1t depends as to what con-
stitutes "standpatter" whether the
writer can be classed under that head.
If having cheered for Fremont and
Dayton in the piping voice of child
hood is the first symptom OF stand
patter, then he pleads guilty of having
been early innoculated with the virus.
! If worshiping at the shrine of Lin
coin in boyhood, and ever afterwards
cherishing the memory of that great
man is the crime of a standpatter, he
pleads guilty.
If having voted for Grant, and Hayes,
and Garfield, and Blaine, and Harrison,
and Mckinley, and Roosevelt, and
Taft, is a sign manual of standpater,
the stamp is on him indelibly.
If never having voted for demo-
crat for high office, excepting Poin-
dexter, for which crime he has asked
I forgiveness at the throne of Grace
! times without number), is an indica-
ton of a standpater, he is one.
If to believe in the principles of re-
publicanism as promulgated in the
party from its birth to the present day
is the humiliation Of a standpatter, he
meekly bows to the name.
If belief in the republican party as a
safeguard to the best interests of the
common people, and the means of up
lifting the nation in the future as it
has in the past is standpater he is en-
phatically standpatter.
If belief in party organization, and
for the endurance of party organiza-
ticn the majority must rule, is that OF
standpatter, then count him in.
If believing that no one man is big
ger than his party, and that loyalty to
party is the badge of true republican,
ism, is the depravity that indicates a
standpatter, mark him down as among
the depraved.
If believing that the interests of the
skilled workmen of the country should
be so guarded that they continue to be
the best paid laborers on earth is a
symptom of standpatism he surely has
the disease.
If contempt for the demagogue who
plays traitor to his party in the hopes
of political advancement is sign OF
standpatism count him ina -
If unfaltering allegiance to the re-
publican party for 80 years, through
the spasms of greenbackism mugwump-
ism, populism, silver republicanism
and insurgency, is the brand of stand
patter, then, by the eternal, he is among
the branded, and proud of it.
