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
7OS1 1863, which with outlying points
to be heard from, may bring it up to
IN millions as compared with 5,371,-
315 in 1901. Though these figures arc
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 249o; the per-
centage of increase in Canada for the
decade is 329o. Thus it 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 it's neigh
boring provinces east of the noun
tains, 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 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
c
ulation of Alberta is set down at 372,-
919, as compared with 1902 in 1901;
Saskatchewan 453,50S as compared
with 1870 in 1901; Manitobas 1884,
691 compares well with its 255,211 in
1901; and so does that of British Co.
lumbiaA362, 76S as against 17S,657 in
1901; but in territory as large as
this population of 1,643 900 is little
more than discernible in point of num-
bers. The work through it 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
monton, 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 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 it will
be well worth while inspecting it and
getting information from those who
may be in charge.

WILM INGTON.
Hubbard Needham.

Last Wednesday evening amid the fall
ing leaves of October, a small party of
relatives assembled at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. S. l.. Bond to witness the
pretty wedding of their niece, Miss Lot
tie Needham, to George Hubbard of that
town.
The ceremony was performed at 7
o'clock by Rev. a. f.. Martin, the sin
gle ring service being used. Both
young people are well known here,
highly respected and much loved.
Mrs. Hubbard is a graduate of the
Wilmington high school, class of 1911,
and for some time filled the position of
librarian. Mr.. Hubbard Is a successful
and up-to-date young farmer.
The brides tried and true friend, Miss
Lettie Kingsley, was bridesmaid. while
the brother of the bridegroom, William
Hubbard, was best man.
The bride was simply but prettily at
tired i'm cream white silk poplin, trim
med with silk messaline and silk tat
ting applique and carried a bouquet of
white carnations. Miss Lettie also
looked very sweet in her stylish gown
of ecru silk poplin, and carried a bunch
of pink carnations.
When the strains of the bridal march
from "~Lohengrin," played by Miss Hila
Haynes, rang softly through the room,
a hush fell upon the expectant friends
and the bridal party marched slowly in
and took their positions beneath an arch
covered with hemlock boughs, sword
ferns and autumn leaves, their bright
faces lending an added touch of color.
The room was tastefully decorated in
Boston ferns and autumn leaves. The
couple We're the recipients of many val
liable and useful gifts, including silver,
cut glass, furniture, china and linen.
After the ceremony a short social hour
was enjoyed while partaking of light re-
freshments, following which Mr.. and
Mrs. Hubbard stepped into a waiting au-
tomobile and We're whirled away amid
a shower of hearty good wishes and an
atmosphere laden with rice and con-
fetti.
Those left behind were more con-
scious than the newly welded pair

ing swiftly down the hill through the
moonlight into the pink clouds and rosy
hued promises of the waiting future.

home.

Editor of The Phoenix:
You will agree with me that it is the

of Mr.. and Mrs. Estabrook, and r. G.

/" Roess, administrator of the estate of
G.. W.. Estabrook."
Your misleading informant wen knew
that John l.. Roess was never the adj
ministrator of George w. Estabrook's es-
tate and that c, l.. Stiekney and c. l..
Harris were not, in fact, commissioners
on this estate and that no hearing was
held at the stated time and place by the
commissioner of Mr.. Esterbrook's es-
tate, of which Rollin S. Childs Is the
administrator and therefore no account
against this estate could have been dis
allowed, as Hon. F. b. Pier and John

missioners on the estate of George w.
Esterbrook and the account of myself
against the estate was allowed without
objection by anyon and their report ac-
