MANY ENTRIES
FOR RACE meet

Leslie Strong reports that indica-
tions point to very successful race
meet here on August 80 and 81 and
September and Q. Considerable
work has been done on the track
this summer and 1t will be in the
"pink of condition" for the event.
Race horse men pronounce it by far
the fastest and best half mile track
in the inter-mountain region.
Entries for the races, which are
being filed daily, are coming from
Odgen and different points in Colo
rado, Oregon and Idaho. There
will be two harness races every day,
with liberal purses for each race.
Running races will be over night
events. All races will be conducted
according to the rules of the Ameri-
can Trotting Association.
The price of admission will be so
cents for adults and 25 cents for
children, with an additional charge
of % cents to the grand stand.
II good weather prevails, Mr..
Strong anticipates a better attend
ance each day than they had last
year.

MANY ARE RETURNING
TO U. S. FROM CANADA
The Unfavorable Climatic Conditions in Alberta
Section Has Caused Thousands toGive Up
Their Holdings and Return to u. S.

Returning settlers from Canada
claim that practically every Ameri
can farmer in the neighborhood of
Alberta, where the Canadian gov
ernment maintains an irrigation
project, is anxious to get back as
soon as he can sell his holdings in
the Dominion. Though many are
compelled by the force of circum
stances to remain where they have
settled, thousands have already re-
turned to this side of the line in
the Pacific Northwest. In Idaho
" ashington, Oregon, Montana and
Wyoming they find definite oppor-
tnnities and advantages in agricul-
ture not to be equalled on the
Canadian side. This applies to
both irrigated and non irrigated
lands.
While the great flood of emigra-
tion from the United States last
year to Canada is estimated at "a
600 comprising about one-half of
the incoming population of that
region, the number of people who
have already this year come to this
part Of the Northwest from other
portions of the United States is
even greater than was The total
Emigration to Canada for all of last
year. Railroad authorities claim
that 100, 600 people have settled in
Idaho, Washington, Oregon and
Montana since the first of January.
The aggregate for the year will
probably be from 100000 to 2oo,-
900 or number equal TO or in ex-
cess of that which went to Canada
last year.
The loss of the eastern states by
this movement toward the West is
much more than balanced by the
flood of foreign immigration that is
pouring in, at the rate of more than
one million year. The movement
in this direction is a relief to the

Both the republican and demo-

In talking with Messrs. Burrell
and Harris yesterday, both express
ed themselves as being highly pleas
ed over the result of their trip.
Superintendent Manson received
them most cordially, and assured
them that he entertained friendly
feeling for Montpelier and this Sec
tion of the state. Personally, he
said, that he fully realized the needs
of better depot accommodations at
Montpelier, and that the plans of
the company include the expendi-
ture of a large sum of money place
in the near future, in the re.arrang-
ing of the yards, construction of "a
new depot and freight house and
building of branch line to Paris.
While Superintendent Manson was
not privileged to fully divulge the
plans of the company, the commit
tee is perfectly satisfied, from his
conversation, that the company in
tends to commence operations here
in the very near future. From the
statements made by Mr.. Manson it
is quite evident that it is the inten-
ton of the railroad company to
build not alone for the present needs
here, but will erect such buildings
as will afford accommodations for
the increased business that is bound
to come with the development of
Bear Lake valley and country tribu-
tary to it.
Superintendent Manson expressed
his hearty approval of the steps that
have been taken by the Montpelier
Commercial club towards advertis-
ing this valley throughout the east
and other sections of the country,
where people are looking for oppor-
tounties to secure homes in Idaho.
He said the railroad company stood
ready and anxious to work hand in
hand with the local organizations
in the up-bnilding of all sections
through which the Short Line runs.

Mr.. Gardner has been with the
Sidney Stevens Co. for the past IA
years, and for 10 years of that time
e has bsen in cl4rge of the branch
house here.
BY his removal to Ogden, Mont
pelier loses one of her progressive
and substantial citizens, and one
who has been held in high esteem
by all who know him. His promo
is just recognition of his faithful
services for the company during the
past IA years. His family will
join him IN Ogden about the first
of September.
Mr.. aud Mrs. Walter Stevens
arrived in the city last Sunday and
are now stopping at the hotel Bur-
goyne, but will occupy the Stevens
property, as soon as Mr.. Gardner's
family vaeate it.
While here Mr.. Bushnell inform
ed US that it is the intention of the
company to start work this fall on
their new implement house on Main
street, between 9Th and 9th streets.
The structure will be 60xlO0 feet,
with full basement and two stories
high. The excavation and base-
ment walls will be completed this
fall, and the material secured for
the upper stories during the winter,
SO that the building can be CON-
pleted early next season.
