THIS IS AGE OF CONCRETE
Remarkable Effects Produced In Park
Improvements In Our Large
Cities.

Park pavilions and other structures
for gardens, cemeteries and country
places, especially such works as open
colonnades, pergolas and peristyles,
and shelter-houses, are often made OF
some form of concrete. Probably the
most extensive use is made of this
material in the South Park system OF
Chicago, where the large field houses
In the dozen or more small parks are
made of monolithic concrete that
blends well with the landscape. In
Washington Park in this system there
is also boathouse of granite con-
crete" reddish combination made by
the park engineer.
A very handsome structure of this
class from an architectural standpoint,
Is the City Park pavilion In New Or
leans, made of artificial stone. 1t
takes the form of a peristyle of the
Roman Doric order. placed in an i'm
posing site overlooking the lake from
which landing can be made by flights
OF steps at either end. The structure
is 50x16O feet.

named John, who was now for him,
then against him, and always change
able.

CARING FOR STREET TREES

With the increasing appreciation OF
the necessity for scientific care for

directions for planting and care. and
a pamphlet that contains this matter
and great deal more besides-the
ordinances, the lists of trees and
shrubs in use, the arguments for
street-tree care, an account of the in
sect enemies of trees and how to deal
with them.
The relative extent to which New

Gated by the report which shows that
for 1906 $15,448.21 was expended Tor
the planting, protection and care OF
trees on the streets. For this sum
nearly $500 trees were planted, on
forty-six streets; the trees on twenty
four streets were pruned; and the
trees on 1873 feets were sprayed or
otherwise especially treated for in

ress every year, it would not take long
to put the streets of a city in first
class condition as to trees-and how
much that would mean for the COM
munity!

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

That Canada has come rapidly to
the front in the past ten years is am
ply shown In the results of the census
recently made public. The population
of the Dominion is now placed at
1881, 1853, which with outlying points
to be heard from, may bring 1t up to.
IN millions as compared with 5,371,-
315 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 2495; the per
centage of increase in Canada for the
decade is 1920. Thus 1t will be seen
that the provinces west Of the lakes,
with the great broad fertile acres
ready for the sowing and immediate
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
tains, have attracted numbers, which
has exceeded the most optimistic or
the expectations Of ten years ago.
Upon the prairies Of the ten years
ago there was but a 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 we'll with its 255,211 in
1901; and so does that of British Co.
lumbia-362,76S as against 1862 in
1901; but in territory as large as
this 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; well 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 far greater advancement. In
the meantime Canada is bidding well
come the progressive and Industrious
citizen. The invitation is 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 1t will
be we'll worth while inspecting 1t and
getting information from those who
may be In charge.
