markets. Late last week there was
stronger deal, but Monday this week
slight reaction put matters in rut
again. Today this market was steady.
Too heavy supplies of beef cattle in
the west has worked havoc with all
markets, and in sympathy with a weak
deal in the north the local trade has
been off. 1t takes mighty well finished
beeves to sell at $500 and better these
days. Bulk of the sales for the best
here the past week were $5.75@5.95,
and today two loads averaging better
than 1000 lbs, sold at 5000 Butcher
supplies continue steady to strong.
Heifers, of a recent sort, sell around
$4.75@5.25, and cows s4.50@4.75, with
choice kinds at $500. Bulls are about

325,OOO in ONE YEAR
THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
SURPASSES ALL RECORD.

The returns recently issued by the
Canadian immigration Branch shows
that upwards of 1876. 900 persons az
rived in Canada during the past
twelve months. declaring their inten-
ton OF becoming settlers tn that coun.
try. OF this number about $50. 900
were from the United States, the bal
ance being from the British Isles and
Northern Europe. IT will thus be seen
that h sturdy farming element that
has gone forward from the United
States is being ~splendidly supplement-
ed by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. The lure of
Canadian wheat, oats, barley and fax
grown on the rich prairie of Western
Canada Is constantly attracting more
n more, and year by year the tide
of immigrants to the Western Canada
plains increases; there is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
are not surprised at the number from
the United States being as large as it
is but they did not look for SO large an
immigration from the old countries.
Still, they will not be found UMPIRE
pared. Reception halls are in reaGi.
ness at all important points in Mani
toha, Saskatchewan and Alberta, sur
veyors were at work during the past
season opening up new districts on
which to place those seeking free
homestcads of 160 acres each, rail-
ways kSve been projecting laterals
from their main lines, and every pro-
vision has been taken to
date the newcomer. A recent dis.
patch from Antwerp reads: "The di-
version OF European emigration from
the United States to Canada is said
20 he seriously affecting Tho Atlantic
steamship lines. The Red Star today
gives up to the Canada line
two OF the best special emigrant
steamers afloat, the Cortland and the
Samland. These vessels heretofore
In the A~ntwerp-New York service are
now TO be operated from Rotterdam to
Canadian ports"
On the date Of the above dispatch
word came TO the immigration branch
that the Vanguard or the 1911 army
Of United States settlers reached Win
nipeg at 1880 o'clock this morning.
There was a solid train load Of eff
lects, comprising Al carloads and two
colonist sleepers attached to the train,
which contained the members OF Is
families. Every man Jack in the
party is a skilled farmer, and all have
come north prepared to go right on
the land. which vas purchased last
rear. They are equipped with every
thing that experience has shown is
necessary to make a start on virgin
prairie. In addition to machinery and
household effects there were a large
number of horses and cattle. Some OF
the farmers had also brought along
gas tractors, which will be put right
to work on ground breaking"
One of the agents Of the Canadian
government advises that 1t would APP
pear as IL each month OF the present
year would show a large increase over
the past year. The demand for the
literature Of the department, describ-
Ing the country and it's resources, is
greater than 1t ever has been.

excellent place on the bSnks Of the

the distance from the bridge may be
seen part Of the buildings on what
was the 1,O00-acre farm owned by the
late w. H. H. Fenton, a brother of
Gov. Reuben G. Fenton.
The river at this point is about $50
feet in width and so years ago all
traffic between Dunkirk, N. Y, and
points south crossed the river about
where the foot bridge now is, 1t being
state road, with road bridge. But
through some misunderstanding be-
tween the two townships, the town OF
Carroll being on the east side Of the
river and the town of Kiantone on the
other, the road bridge was abandoned
and traffic was forced to take what is
known as the jamestown and Warren
highway, on the east side of the river.
The state road is still open on either
side of the river, and residents have
repeatedly petitioned for a road
bridge to be built. But as eight feet
Of the west approach would be in the
state Of Pennsylvania the question
arose whether only one state ought to
build it. About six feet souht of this
