MANY FARMERS COME
BACK FROM CANADA
Men Who Renowned Citizen
ship Glad to Return

A counter movement of immigration
from Canada into the United States has
apparently set in if the influx from
over the line into northern Montana
may fairly be taken as indicative of
the present trend, says the New York
Commercial.
According to an official report by
United States Collector of Customs Blair
at Sweetgrass. Mont. hundreds of fami-
lies have come over from Canada within
the last week and have taken up gov
eminent lands in Montana. This move
ment began early in the winter and
has increased each day until the total
of newcomers from across the line has
reached many thousands.
These newcomers are. very largely
men and women who had given up
their citizenship in the United States in
order to take up Canadian government
lands Some Of them have been in
Canada long enough to prove up their
homesteads, but large numbers of them
have come back without waiting to
obtain title to their government lands,
or have sold their relinquishments, or
decided their lands. So there would APP
pear to be no call for official or other
action in this country to stem the tide
of American immigration into Canada.
These things always adjust them
selves if let alone. The Canadian land
boom. the call to the far northwest"
caught many thrifty American farmers
no doubt who, had they taken thought
and deliberately measured the chances
for the success or the failure of the
experiment. would never have pulled
up stakes apd 1t is this class appar-
emily that is now moving southwark
into "the states" Others will stay and
fight it out, of course. The incident is
at least beginning to disclose that there
is an unstable and migratory conting-
ent among our northwestern farmers
that is never quite satisfied with ex-
listing conditions. The great bulk of
our northern and western farmers must
sooner or later learn. however. that If
a change is desirable the south holds
out the greatest attractions for them.

MATHESON Denies
CHARGES OF COOK
Sergeant of Chinatown Squad at
Complete Variance With
Attorney

The written complaint made to Chief
Martin by Attorney Carroll Cook on
behalf of the Chinese community in
meeting last Thursday night, was re-
ferred to Sergeant Duncan Matheson.
in charge of the Chinatown squad and
yesterday the chief received Matheson's
reply, in which he makes a general
denial of the charges made by Cook.
Matheson denies that he or any men,

The sergeant denies that there is any

such complaint being based on the fact
that illegal gambling has been sup-a
pressed In conclusion, he says: There
is no middle ground as far as gambling
is concerned in Chinatown. 1t is either

and the cry is oppression on the one
hand and graft on the other both
equally unpleasant to the police de-
partment. The better class of Chinese
admit that police protection is better

revenue from gambling are cut of"
