CANADA FORGING
AHEAD

Thomas C. Shotwell. one of the
greatest market reporters In America,
writes from New York, under date of
March goth, and says:
"The Tariff tangle with Canada
which President Taft has taken In
hand is of Importance chiefly because
Of the multitude OF American farmers
that are crossing into the Canadian
northwest. Most conservative esti-
mates OF their number place 1t at
10000 for 1910. Some say as many
as 100000 will cross. These are ali
expert farmers and their places in the
United States are being filed by I'M
trained men from Europe and from
the cities. Canada is gaining rapidly
in agricultural Importance and with
in few years the United States will
have to call on the Dominion for
wheat. Production OF wheat in the
United States is not keeping pace
with the population. A tariff war
would complicate the problem of get
ting food. Even now Canadian farm
ers are getting higher prices for their
cattle on the hoof and Canadian house
wives are paying less for meat in the
butcher shops than farmers and house
wives are receiving and paying in the
United States. The tariff on cattle
and wheat must be removed as be-

Mrs. Theney's act was made diff
ficult not only by the intense heat
felt for a quarter of a mile I'm every
direction from the blazing trees and
underbrush, but also by the thick
black smoke which hung over the en-

many men not so close to the fire as
the women in the Marks house were

Mrs. Theney never wavered in the
task she had undertaken. Frequently
she was Obliged to turn water on her

led the blaze a short distance from
Mrs. Marks home they were amazed
to learn how effective Mrs. Theney's
work had been.
The fire was seen first in the north
western part OF this village, not far
from the West Randall and Residence
park districts, where are the fashion
able homes of more than a score of
wealthy New York business men. Be-
fore ten minutes had passed these
houses were menaced, and the local

house, more than mile away. BY
the time they got within fighting dis
lance of the fire about half a dozen
acres had been swept by flames.
These acres constituted land covered
with shrubby growth and timber. Two
barns on the outskirts were destroyed
and the Marks carriage house was
slightly damaged, but otherwise the
loss from the fire was slight.
When she saw the fire speeding her
way Mrs. Marks was in great alarm.
She had no idea what to do. Mrs.
Theney, her guest, has had little ex-
perience fighting fires, but she saw
the only way to head off the flying
sparks was to turn a stream of water
on the stable. She stood alone In the
sitting smoke and aimed the stream
at the menaced building. When the
firemen finally relieved her she was
on the point of collapse-not from
fear, but from exhaustion.
