CANADA'S CENSUS
A THIRTY-TWO PER CENT IN
CREASE IN THE PAST TEN
YEARS..

That Canada has come rapidly to
ply shown In the results of the census
recently made public. The population
of the Dominion is now placed at
7.081,869, which with outlying points
TO be heard from, may bring it up to
IA millions as compared with 5,371,-
3l5 in 1901. Though these figures are
large, they do not present total as
large as was expected but they do
show greater increase of percentage
IN population for the decade than any
similar Increase in the United States.
The highest percentage ever reached
by the Republic was 243o; the per-
centage of increase in Canada for the
decade is 1920. Thus it Will BE seen
that the provinces west of the lakes,
with the great broad fertile acres
ready for the sowing and imm ediate
reaping OF grain and the Valleys Of
British Columbia capable of producing
fruit with which to supply its neigh
boring provinces east of the noun
talns, have attracted numbers. which
has exceeded the most optimistic of
the expectations of ten years ago.
Upon the prairies Of the ten years
ago there was but spare scattering
OF people; but today, no matter in
which way you go, take any direction,
and you find homes and farms and
good ones too, occupied by the very
best class of people in good sized set
Elements with plenty Of room for five
or six times as many more. The pop
ulation of Alberta is set down at 372,-
919, as compared with 1902 in 1901;
Saskatchewan 453,50S as compared
with 1870 in 1901; Manitoba's 454,-
691 compares well with it's 255,211 in
1901; and SO does that of British Co
lumbia-362,76S as against 17S,657 in
| 1901; but in a territory as large as
this a population of 1,643,000 is little
more than discernible in point of num-
bers. The work through 1T has been
great. Look at the towns that have
been built up; it's cities, Winnipeg
with $4,000; Vancouver with upwards
Of 100000; Calgary with $4,000; Ed
monitor, Regina, Saskatoon; Leth-
bridge; Medicine Hat, Moosejaw,
! splendid cities-none better any
| where; we'll maintained and equipped.
! These have come with existence and
been built as they have been built by
| reason of the splendid agricultural
country by which they are surround
ed. The population is scarcely dis
cernible. A population ten or twelve
times that shown by the recent
census could be easily maintained in
even greater wealth than that which
maintains the present numbers. There
is certainly a wonderful future for
Western Canada and that which goes
| to the development of the west will
enrich the last. This Is the growing
time in Canada and what has been
done in the past ten years is but a
| beginning. The next decade will
| show a far greater advancement. In
| the meantime Canada is bidding vel
| come the progressive and industrious
| citizen. The invitation is a. standing
one. At the forthcoming land exposi-
ton in Chicago, Canada will have one
of the best exhibits of farm products
that has ever been made and it will
be well worth while inspecting it and
getting information from those who
may be in charge.

Easy to Understand,

When Senator John E. Hessin and
daughter of Manhattan were doing
Europe and Asia last summer, says the
Kansas City Journal, they took mo-
tor boat ride on the Sea of Galilee.
In the party was a New York minis
ter. When the party had finished the
ride the minister asked the boatman
the amount of the bill The boatman
told him. 1t was exorbitant.

TRACTION COMPANY TO IMPROVE
EXPRESS SERVICE BEGINNING
MARCH FIRST. is5. 81

Beginning with the first day OF
March the Fairmont & Clarksburg
Traction Company will operate thor
ough express car from Clarksburg to
Mannington and return. This car will
make one round trip to and from these
cities each day. The car Will start
from Clarksburg In the morning and
will reach this city at the middle OF
the day and will reach Warrington
about 1880 o'clock. 1t will leave that
town at o'clock on the return trip:
The company feels that It can give
its patrons better and quicker service
by operating through express car.
From Warrington there Is great deal
Of freight that comes over the traction
lines. The shipments OF oil supplies
for the ShInnston field is quite an item
and by the operation OF the through
car these shipments only have to be
handled once. This will be quite an
advantage to the passenger cars on
the Warrington line for hereafter they
will not pay any attention to the
freight traffic.
The car barn at Mannington has
been closed and all Of the cars Of the
company are now kept at the local car
barn.
Just as soon as the weather condi.
tions are favorable the company will
start the excavation for the addition
to the present car barn. This addition
will be Just one,half MS large as the
present barn and will afford room for
the cars that will be operated on the
Fairmont and Northern.
The excavation for the barn will be
done by a steam shovel. A track will
be laid and dinky engines win carry
the dirt to the lower end Of South
Side Park. This will increase the size
Of the level part, of the park and will
make 1t better for oil sorts Of sports.
