CANADIAN M. P. FAV0RS
ANNEXING CANADA TO U. S.
Regards Imperial Federation Un-
workable Organization

ANTAGONIST, N. S., Aug. 19.-An-
nexation of Canada to the United States
was advocated today in an address by
Henry Bourassa, M. p, the Nationalist
leader of Quebec, before the summer
school of science of st. Francis Xavier
college.
The speaker dwelt at length on the
four possible destinies of Canada,
namely:
Remaining in the position in which
she is at present, which he regarded as
very improbable; imperial federation,
which would be an unwieldy and un-
workable condition; annexation to the
United States and independence.
Imperial federation meant an "im-
perial council with a preponderant
British influence" said Mr.. Bourassa.
Conditions today in Canada make for
annexation rather than for imperial
federation. The penetrative influence
of trade by rail and coastal lines, the
mental propensity of the two peoples
living under the same or similar con-
ditions, industrial and social, the con-
slant Accommodation of Canadians
and Americans, are all powerful fac
tors making for annexation"

COMPLETE EARTHWORK
ON IRRIGATION PROJECT
Dam at Belle Fourche, S. D., the
Largest in World

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The earth
work of the big Belle Fourche, the ir-
rigation dam in South Dakota which is
one of the largest embankments in the
world, probably has been completed,
according to advices received here by
the reclamation service. The dam is
5000 feet long, with a maximum height
of lis feet and contains 100000 cubic
feet of earth. This structure closes the
outlet to q natural basin and inlet canal
six and one-half miles long and forty
feet wide at the bottom that carries the
water of the Belle Fourche river into
the reservoir thus formed.
When the distribution system of the
Belle Fourche project is completed 500
miles of canals and laterals will carry
the waters over 100000 acres of land.
About 10000 acres already are receiv-
ing water.

LEAVE MANNERS AT HOME.
WHEN TOURING ENGLAND

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-American
tourists are warned to take their man
ners abroad with them in a statement
issued to the press by the vicar of
the church at Stratford-o n-AVon.
The vicar complains that a certain
class of American tourists attend the
services in his church merely to visit
Shapespeare's tomb in the chancel. This
would not be so bad if they behaved
themselves properly while in church.
But he says that some of the visitors
bring picture postals into the church
and actually address them during the
services"
Their offenses are ascribed to the
American laxity in the proper obser-
vance of the Lords day.

STATES TO UNITE
ON CONSERVATION
Governors of Pacific Coast and
Rocky Mountain Districts
Conclude Conference
FULL DISCUSSION DEMANDED
Executives Accept Invitation to
Attend American Mining SeS-
sion to Be Held Here
FULL DISCUSSION DEMANDED
ASSOCIATED Press)


SALT LAKE, Aug. 19.-The confer
ence of the governors of Rocky Noun
tain and Pacific coast states, called to
consider a proper representation at the
conservation congress to meet at 81.
Paul September So, adjourned today
after the adoption of a resolution re-
citing that inasmuch as assurances had
been given that a full and free dis
cussion of the subject of conservation
could be had, the Pacific coast and
Rocky Mountain states would cordial
ly take part in the convention and del
egations would be appointed of such
force as would impress on the congress
the sincerity and justice of the de-
mands to be presented by the national
conservation policies and laws.
These demands were set forth in
the following platform of principles:
THAT In legislatively solving the
problems of conservation, the national
congress adhere to the doctrine of
Abraham Lincoln that the public lands
are an impermanent national possess
sion held in trust for the maturing
states.
STATE GOVERNMENT RIGHTS
"That state government, no less BEN
eficently than national government, is
capable of devising and administer
ing laws for the conservation of public
state governments should legislatively
coordinate, to the end that within a
reasonable period of time the state
governments be conceded the full and
complete administration of such con-
servation laws as may be found adapt
able to the varying conditions of the
several states.
"That the experience of the conser-
walton states demonstrates that dis
positions of public property made I'M
der existing national conservation
laws and regulations have tended to
intrench monopolies and interests men
acing the common welfare, and that
notifications of such laws and regula-
tons should be promoted by the con-
servation congress.
"That the elimination from the ma
tional forest reserves of all homestead
and untimbered grazing lands is i'm
mediately expedient.
WATER POWER JURISDICTION
"That the use and control of all
water power inheres of right in the
states, within restrictions insuring per-
petual freedom from monopoly.
THAT the privilege of American cit
liens to seek and develop mineral
wealth wherever it may be foslnd
should be fully amplified and secured
by laws.
THAT the idea OF deriving federai
revenue from the physical resources
of the states Is repugnant to that ad-
justment of constitutional powers
which guarantees the perpetuity Of
the union"
1t was also decided by the confer
ence that specific cases of infractions
and injustice in connection with the
administration of the forestry laws
would be gathered and presented to the
congress.
A resolution was adopted indorsing
the Panama Pacific exposition in San
Francisco in 1915 and pledging support
thereto.

 "I don't care whether it's just a few stray hairs a full fiedged mus tache, hair on a Woman's face will spoil her beauty. That's all there is the electric needle and all the other remedies I ever heard of. And of course the hair came back. It always will with such remedies. They don't 1t off the surface and stimulate the roots. Sometimes just couldn't bear 70 face anybody with that horrible growth on my face and arms. I was about to give up in despair, when some friend sent me bottle of Elec- tro-la. I had1.'t- faith in the remedy before l used it, but it took just one treatment to convince me. The way that hair came off was a marvel and no matter how long T left the remedy on it would not burn or smart That's the secret of it's success. You can I2ave it on long enough to reach the roots and kill the hair and a cure See, my face is as soft and smooth as a little child's and it's been months since I cured myself. If you don't believe this, just try Elec-tro-la and see.''
 We want every reader of this pa per who is troubled with superfiuous hair, to prove this sure remedy just as thousands of others affected with objectionable hair have done. If you want a permanent, lasting cure, not merely temporary relief, Elec-tro-la is what you should use
