There were $4,000 there last

delighted. The big stadium was
all filed with the exception of one

rivals and broke the tournament

kept the audience in a constant
state of enthusiasm.

HAS THE TIDE TO
CANADA TURNED.

In report to the deaf of the
United States reclamation service
at washington, Statistician @. j.
Blanchard says that practically
every American farmer in the
neighborhood of Alberta, where
the Canadian government main
tains an irrigation project, was
eager to get back to the United
States IL he could sell his holdings
in the dominion. In the last nine
months, 1t is said, $4,000 settlers
have returned to the United States
from Canada. Government Off
Gals believe that this means that
the tide of American emigration
has turned.
WINNIPEG, Canada, July 29.-
Western Canada is building towns
on a wholesale plan. The govern
ment and the big transcontinental
railroads working in harmony in
tend to lay out and populate 220
new towns in the next year and a
half; an average of three new
towns will be placed on the map
of Canada every week during the
next IS months.
Along the new Grand Trunk
Pacific, now building, will be
placed over $50 of these infant
cities; the Canadian Pacific will
build up new towns along its road
bed wherever there are more than
16 miles between existing stations;
the Canadian Northern has en-
tered in the new BODYBUILDING
scheme, too, and will place 35
new towns on the map as it drives
it's 3000-mile extension through
the unbroken wilderness of the
great Canadian northwest.
These will not be boom towns,
plotted and sold to spectators,
and then left to decay. Every one
of them will be built because there
is a demand for them, and the
Canadian government immigration
bureau has even now 800 agents
in the United States creating that
demand among the farmers bust
ness men and mechanics there.
Agents are also busy in Europe,
but the largest portion of the
population of these new towns will
be Americans.
Last year 59,S32 Americans left
their homes in the states and start
ed life anew in Canada. They
brought with them $60,000,00O in
money and property, for 1t is not
the poorest class that has come
over; it is rather the farmer of
moderate means, who, dissatisfied
with conditions in the states, finds
a virgin country up here awaiting
his pillow, and few, very few, of
them ever go back except upon
temporary visits. 1t is estimated
that in the last 10 years more
than a half billion dollars has been
brought over by the 100000 immi-
grants from the states. Last year,
for the first time since 1913, more
Americans came over than British.
OF course the real reason that
brings the most of them over is
the cheap land, the homestead land
and it's fertility. But other reasons
enter into consideration, too, and
they are cheap lumber, cheap
clothing and the general feeling
that laws are enforced in a much
better fashion in the Dominion of

When Manager Cuddy announced

stereotype title so often mt1sapplied,
but to see the artists in action you
would say at once that he was justi-

bar artists. This classy trio do a
stunt on triple bar that amazes the
audience and sends a thrill that
evokes applause from the hardened
observer who thinks he has seen all
that there is in this kind of an act.
The comedy producing member of the
trio is a very amusing fellow and does
some clean work Martin and Fabrini
