The ~ImpassihIe.

Andrew Carnegie, at a recent din
her in New York, said of a certain
labor trouble:
1T is silly of employers to pretend
In these troubles that they are always
In the right. Employers are often
In the wrong; often unreasonable,
They often-like Mrs. S~mithsJones-
ask impossible things:
Mrs. Smith-Jones, taking a villa
at Palm Beach, engaged for a butler a
stately old colored deacon.
"'Now, Clay she said to the old
fellow, there are two things l mus'
insist upon-truthfulness and obedl'
ence.'
Eyes, madam the venerable serv'
ant answered, and when yo' bids me
tell yo' guests yo's out when yo's IN,
which shall it be, madam"

325,0OO in ONE YEAR
THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
SURPRISES ALL RECORD.

The returns recently issued by the
canadian Immigration Branch shows
that upwards of 5000 persons ar
rived in Canada during the past
twelve months, declaring their inten-
ton Of becoming settlers in that coun.
try. OF this number about 1870. 600
We're from the United States, the bal
nnce being from the British Isles and
Northern Europe. 1t will thus be seen
that the sturdy farming element that
mas 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 he rich prairie of Western
Canada is constantly attracting more
and more. and year by year the tide
ot immigrants to the Western Canada
plains Increases; there is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
are Q surprised at the number from
the United States being as large as 1t
Is but they did not look for SO large an
immigration from the old countries.
Still, they will not be found unpre-
pared. Reception halls are in readi-
ness at all important points in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, sur
yeyors We're at work during the past
season opening up new districts on
which to place those seeking free
homesteads of 100 acres each. rail
ways have been projecting laterals
from their main lines, and every pro-
vision has been taken to accommo-
date the newcomer. A recent dis
patch from Antwerp reads: 'The di-
version of European emigration from
the United States to Canada is said
to be seriously affecting the Atlantic
steamship lines. The Red Star today
gives up to the America-Canada line
two of the best special emigrant
steamers afioat, the Cortland and the
Samland. These vessels heretofore
In the Antwerp-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 Of the 1911 army
Of United States settlers reached Win
nipeg at 1880 o'clock this morning.
There was a solid train load of eff
fects, comprising Al carloads and two
colonist sleepers attached to the train,
which contained the members of 25
families. Every mar Jack in the
party is a skilled farmer, and all have
come north prepared to go right on
the land, which was purchased last
year. 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 oil
the farmers had also brought along
gas tractors, which will be put right
to work on ground breaking"

government advises that 1t would ap
pear as if each month Of the present
year would show a large increase i've

THE question now confronting

equals Josephine county from min

and asked for suggestions. The mat
ter was then thoroughly discussed
formally and informally. H. l.. Herr
niger, as chairman of the exhibit COM
mittee, stated that he believed good
exhibit from Josephine county would
result and stated that he wished light
on one point, and that was that sever
al mine and claim owners had stated
to him that they would gladly fur
nish the ore II the expense OF gettine
II TO Grants Pass was paid by the
Grants Pass people. This point
brought out much discussion.
George Calhoun stated that II II got
abroad that Grants Pass would pay
for ore shipments here that regions
far out OF our territory could swamp
the club by sending in a mass OF ore
at no expense to themselves. Mr..
Calhoun stated that he realized that
II cost money TO pull off any kind OF
an event, and that he was willing TO
dig up his share in cash, yet felt that
the club should not pay freight on
exhibits from outside the districts.
Other committeeman we're Of the
same view, and II was suggested that
Josephine county pay the expense OF
( freight for ore displays from mines
in the county, whose owners would
not pay that cost themselves Jack
son county could take care OF lti

The matter was finally crystallzet
by n decision to pay freight on oShib

i've and large exhibit is assured, and
the matter will not be left to Tom,

mineral exhibit committee was em-

these sub-committeemen to gather the
ores and deliver at certain central
points In the county, and II any COM
mltteemen or all Of them could not at

employ a competent man on the
ground to do the work and the bill
to be footed by the Commercial club,
The provision was also made that the
ore must be delivered to the deslg.
