STI.HOUETTES OF
 WESTERN CANADA

The man from Iowa began to talk ,ond before the train was we'll out of the c. N. R. depot in Winnipeg. The talk began in rather wide circles. The rush to the land, the bumper crop, the system of summer following pursued In the semi-arid districts, were all discussed, and then, with sort of anologetic smile, the Iowa man said: "Im A bit interested in this country myself. Some of the men down home got few sections up here along this line. and I'm going to have g look at them. Never been up in Canada be- fore''- Git is curious how these mid western Americans pronounce the name of the Dominion as if 1t was "Can'dy")-"but if it looks good we will be up to stay next fall"
 You see, it's like this," said the man from Iowa-quite manifestly con- tinuing an argument that had been go- ing on in his mind for some time "Back in our State land has become dear. Anybody wanting to sell can get s70 or $S0 an acre for it, and every farm that's offered is snapped I'D. In Saskatchewan we have just as good land that cost us $11 and SIP, so that a man can take up five or six times as much there as in Iowa on the same investment of money.
 Tt isn't the money, though, that brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm not sure that money would be enough. The invasion is family affair. We have no chance of keeping our sons around us back home. They have to leave the farm and go into the big cities of the neighboring States to get york. To keep them on the farm and in touch with us, we come up here and make little colonies with the chil- dren around us, on homesteads or l Tt land. This makes it easier for ;n armers back there in Iowa to get land for the stay-at-homes. The fam- flies that come to Canada are kept together and the families that buy the farms tley leave are kept to- gether, too. There won't be any slack enng of the lash. either for they still raise big families back in Iowa."
 One could almost see the mental process of this typical American farm CT in defending a step that meant a new flag, new allegiance, new land, and new associates. To aban- don Old Glory of the Declaration of Independence for good thing in cheap land would hardly be playing the game, but to go out into Sas- katchewan to keep the family togeth. CT, was another and a quite higher motive.
 Why seek too closely to analyze the reasons for the greatest land trek in the history of America? It is enough to know that the sons of the frontiers men of Iowa, and Kansas, and Mime sota-the best blood of the midwest are pouring into the Canadian west in an ever-increasing stream, and are learning that God Save the King" and My Country Tis of Thee" are sung to the same tune.-Toronto (Ontario) Globe

Increased Price of Elk Teeth

During the last five years the value or elk teeth has more than trebled :" said a western traveller at the Fred. eric, according to the St. Paul Dis. patch. Tn 1904 you could get any mum. per or fine specimens in Idaho. Mon. tana. Washington and bordering states TOT $z.5o apiece. Now you will pay rom $7.50 to s10, and they are hard to get for even that. The Apache. Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indi. ans used to have dozens of them in their possession and traded them for trinkets. But the redskin got wise to their value. and you can buy them rom regular dealer cheaper now than rom the Indian. The passing Of the elk and the great demand made by the members of the Elk lodge for teeth for emblems have boosted the price,"
 The traveller recited an incident of an Oklahoman who bought a robe GOV. cred with elk teeth from a Wichita Indian for $100. He cut off the teeth and cleaned up s2,2OO on the deal.
