SILHOUETTES OF
WESTERN CANADA

The man from Iowa began to tam
land before the train was well 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 a sort of
apologize smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm a bit interested in this country
myself. Some of the men down home
got a few sections up here along this
line, and I'm going to have a look at
them. Never been up in Canada be-
fore cit is curious how these mid
western Americans pronounce the
name of the Dominion as if it 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 u State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $40 or $50 an acre for it, and
every farm that's offered is snapped
up. In Saskatchewan we have just as
good land that cost us 81 and $12, so
that a man can take up five or six
times as much there as in Iowa on the
same investment of money.
1T 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 a 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
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with us, we come up here
and make little colonies with the chill
dren around us, on homesteads or
bought land. This makes it easier for
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes. The fam
lilies that come to Canada are kept
together and the families that buy
the farms they leave are kept to-
gether, too. There won't be any slack
ening of the rush, either, for they still
raise big families back in Iowa"
One could almost see the mental
process of this typical American farm
er in defending a step that meant a
new flag, a new allegiance, a new
land, and new associates. To aban-
don Old Glory of the Declaration of
independence for a good thing in
cheap land would hardly be playing
the game, but to go out into Sas-
katchewan to keep the family togeth-
er," 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? 1t is enough
to know that the sons of the frontiers
men of Iowa, and Kansas, and Mime

CAREER OF SHEEDY
One of the Country's Greatest
Gamblers Dead.
Interesting Incidents in the Life OF
Sporting Man Recalled-Reeov-
cred ~Gainsborough Picture
Aided Guerin to Escape.

Chicago.-The Grim Reaper, In the
last two months, has called upon three
of the greatest gamblers this country
aver has known to cash in their
checks" The term cash in their
checks" is not used with d~isrespect
for death, for had either of the trio,
Dan Stuart, AL Smith or Pat Sheedy
written this story, it would have been
the most natural thing in the world
for them to have used the phrase.
OF the trio, Sheedy, the last to die,
probably was the most noted char
acter. True, Smith and Stuart were
well-known in this country, but
Sheedy's operations reached out into
branches of life that the others never
invaded and made him a character OF
worldwide reputation. All were con-
nected at times with pugilism n
horse racing. Smith was the stake
holder for several championship ar
fairs and was an authority to whom
hundreds of matters were left for set

about a bet. Stuart came into proml-
hence when he pulled off the CorDett'
Fitzsimmons fight. Sheedy was n
Of the early hackers and friends of the
mighty John L. Sullivan.
Sheedy, known on three continents
for his gambling and participation in
sports, first gained prominence in
those walks Of life in Chicago. He
began his career as a gambler at
about 16. He was SO years of age
when he died. In the good old days
of Mike Mcdonald and the Hankinses
in Chicago he ran gambling houses
here. One of these was on Clark
street, near where the Morrison hotel
is now. When these days came to a
close Sheedy left for greener pas
lures, and since then he visited many
lands beyond the seas.
But before his change Sheedy
played in big games of chance every
where and there is not a town in this
country where his name is not known.
At one time he was known as the
greatest faro player in America, but
he had to give that up because the
proprietors of the banks would not let
him play. This was in the sos. After
that he went to Cairo and opened the

Ghesireh palace. He opened his
house and the grand balls of Sheedy
Pasha, as he was known, became IA

Ghesireh palace, which vas the for
mer home Of Ismael Pasha.
Sheedy was the man who restored
the famous Gainsborough Duchess of
Devonshire" portrait to the world OF
art, after it had been stolen and
missing for 26 years.
The picture had been bought by G.
Morland Agnew at a auction sale for
$52, 900, and arrangements had been
made to have a celebrated engraver
make a plate. Some $50, 900 had been
subscribed toward the project when
the English public was astonished and
Mortified with the news that thieves
had broken into the house where the
portrait was kept and had cut it out
Of the frame.
And all trace was lost for 26 years.
To be sure, detectives had become
convinced that Adam Worth. one of
the most inventive and daring thieves
Of modern times, had engineered the
theft and controlled the portrait, but
nothing had come of it. Incidentally,
however, the detectives had asked
Sheedy to assist in bringing about
the restoration of the portrait, if the
occasion offered.
Another thing which will make
Sheedy remembered in the police and
criminal world is the fact he was the
mar who engineered the escape of Ed.

French penal colony off the coast OF
Africa.
Guerin was a Chicago product anc

him to the famous African prison

by no motive except pity for the

said to be the narrowest street in the
world. 1t is known as Kitty Witches

inconvenience a stout person trying
to pass through it. Twenty-nine inches
from wall to wall is all the room that
a be spared in this part. Yarmouth
