10000 AMERICAN
SETTLERS GO
49, 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 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
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 1t. 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 a high
value, and it is worth every dollar
oclxad for IL Rut tharo 10 not rO0,,,
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 q reasonable calculation, 25 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 $12.50 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
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.

more than double that Of the past
year. For instance, special appropria-

planning engagements of their work,
and new organizations are being

AS the result of County Detective

Detective Peltier appeared at police

According to the detective, Maca-

detective says, were seen drinking
inside, but when the detectives APP
preached they fed out a rear door.
Macarowshi, the county man de-
%clares, was himself outside the sa-

the detectives were seen approach

MOTOR BOAT
INSPECTION
Custom House Has Begun
Work to See that Law
,,
Is 0beyed.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
Inspector Coutts In Charge
of the Work--To Visit
All Sections.

FOLLOWING orders received from
the government. the custom house
officials have started the inspection
of all motor boats within the juris-
diction of, the port of Perth Amboy.
The work was commenced yesterday
and will be kept up indefinitely. In
spector Stacey Coutts is in charge.
The gasoline launch Eff1e, Of South
Amboys has been engaged for the
work.
This action Is a measure taken to
e that the laws regarding equip
ment and condition Of propelled YES
sells are obeyed.. Under the regula-
tions for motor boats various sized
craft must carry certain equipments.
The last laws on this subject were
issued June, 8, in the form of IAN
act to amend laws for preventing
collisions of vessels and to regulate
equipment of certain motor boats
on the navigable waters of the Uni
ted States" Pamphlets giving the
contents of the act may be had for
the asking. They explain what
lights, whistles, fog horns, life pre-
servers, etc, must be carried by ves-
sells of various sizes. Smaller craft
are not required to carry much of an
equipment, but large vessels of five
net tom and more must carry a more
complete equipment.
Inspector Coutts has thus far
found conditions in motor boats fair
ly good. The boats inspected yester-
day gave evidence that the laws are
being adhered to-. Most Of them
were properly equipped.
The port of Perth Amboy covers
approximately $50 miles OF shore
front, extending from Railway river
to .Barnegat. and there are. many
vessels within 1t. Not alone will To-
cal vessels be looked after, but all
craft that happen to be in local va
ters when the inspector is around
will be inspected. 1t is the local de-
partment's intention of visiting every
nook and corner within the jurisdic-
ton of the port.

WOODBRIDGE MAN IS
RUN DOWN BY AUTO

Refusal of the steering apparatus
to work properly caused an old
Cadillac fve-passenger touring car
to knock down and run over Charles
Jensen. about forty years old, of
Woodbridge, last night. Although
the wheels of the machine passed
over his legs, no bones were broken,
and after being attended by DR.. M.
8. Meinzer, Jensen returned home.
The accident occurred at Smith
street and Madison avenue about
$40 O'Clock last night. Shortly be-
fore that time George Stilwell, an
employee of the Perth Amboy Garage
Company, took the machine out for
a. trial trip. Rounding the south
west corner of Smith street and Ma
olson avenue on his return to the
garage, Stilwell attempted to steer
the car from the path of Jensen. The
apparatus refused to work, however,
and the machine, skidding, struck
Jensen.
The wheels passed over him,
bruising both legs and his right arm.
Bystanders assisted him to the office
of DR.. Meinzer. An hour later. help
ed by friends, Jensen returned to
his home in Woodbridge.

Criticises Supreme Court.

Denver, Aug. 30.-Colonel Roosevelt
while here did more smashing than he
has done since he was president.
Before the state legislature, con-
vened in special session, he criticised
two decisions handed down by the su-
preme court Of the United States.
Colorado legislators who have been
fighting their own battles with Gov
ernor Shafroth out here listened to the
to be progressive. because, he declared,
a great democracy must be progress
sive or else fall. 1t was In the cham
Der of the house that Colonel Roosevelt
shouted that he was against the muck
rakers, who accused a nan unjustly,
and that he will go the limit in con-
demning the writer's Of the public
press who tell untruths about political
and social conditions. The only man
more noxious than the corrupt public
official, according to the colonel, Is the
corrupt newspaper and magazine writ
err.
The criticism Of the supreme court
did not utterly astound the legislators
and the thousand citizens who damned
the house, but 1t did rather surprise
them at this time. The Knight sugar
case served Colonel Roosevelt as III
example of the decision on a highly
technical legal subtlety (which rem.
dered exceedingly difficult for the ma,
ton effectively to control the use of
masses of corporate capital in inter,
state business" He declared that II
rendered 1t exceedingly difficult for the
people to devise any method of con
trolling and regulating the business
use of great capital in interstate com
merce.
The New York bakeshop case was
the other matter cited whereby the
supreme court made the action of the
governor and legislature of New York
unconstitutional. They used the mega
tive power of not permitting the abuse
to be remedied, the colonel stated, lest
men be deprived of their liberty"
With the aid Of Colonel Roosevelt
Judge Ben Lindsay, author of THE
Beast and the Jungle" won another
victory over his political enemies here
Just before he addressed the 10000
people gathered in the Auditorium
Colonel Roosevelt discovered that
Judge Lindsay was not to be allowed
to sit on the platform. Several citi-
zens had objected. As soon as the
colonel heard of this he insisted that
Judge Lindsay be seated on the stage.
He declared that he would not speak
unless the judge were present. The
Judge was summoned. Scarcely any
one in the auditorium knew what
caused the delay.
