CANADA ATTRACTS
THE PEOPLE OF IOWA
J. T. keppel Tells of Increasing
Movement of Population
Across the Border

people in Iowa and that part of
the United States who are looking for
a new home are not turning their ewes
westward but to the north and south"
Such is the expression of opinion of
j. 7. Keppel of this city who has been
in Iowa for the Yakima Orchard Sc
curities company Canada and Tex.
ts," says Mr.. Keppel, seem to be max.
ing a strong bid, with Texas grad.
ually losing out. There have been 81
many corporations and land schemel
of one kind and another in connection
with Texas and Florida that would not
bear inspection that the people are be-
coming suspicious of the good and bad
alike so far as the south is concerned
and are not buying as freely as thew
did. They, beyond question, are go
ing into Canada and the reports
which the people are sending homo
from that country seem to be encour-
aging to the relatives left behind.
VIII Draw from Canada
canadian lands are advancing in
price and quite bit of money il he
ing made by those who are on the
ground, and'fI think that has some-
thing to do with their contentment
Personally. I think that within the
next four or five years we will BEGIN
here to draw freely from the Cana
dian northwest. Those people who
are going there do not intend to mako
it their permanent home and a large
proportion will not. Gradually thew
are learning about the climate and
conditions of this part of the United
states and when they decide unon
making permanent home manv NJ
them will come here.
Iowa Is Advancing
Iowa is going ahead steadily. The
farmers there are making interest Off
their land and the land is steadily in
creasing in value. While thew havp
been hit hard by the movement of
population into Canada they are. as
said getting ahead Unfortunately
the Northwest does not attract them
strongly at this time"

HELPING men TO
HELP THEMSELVES
Movement on Foot in City, Back
ed by Prominent Persons, to
Care for Homeless Men

During the coming winter, homeless
men out of work need not go to the
saloon for refuge for some good peo-
pie in North Yakima are arranging to
open a room either on Front or First
street, where those with few cents
may obtain warm meal, a place to
rest and read and spend quiet COM
Portable evening. In connection with
the lunch room, where men may OBJ
tain a cup of coffee and bread for five
cents, or something more substantial
for ten or fifteen cents, there will be
a reading room for the benefit Of
those applying for food. 1t is not
charity, but men holding tickets, pro-
cured from persons around town
whom they may ask for a meal, will
receive food in exchange therefor.
Cheap baths will also be provided.
There will be no sleeping quarters
in connection with this work. but at
the Warner lodging house, run in con-
junction with the Cole wood yard.
the men may get employment to pay
for food and lodging. 1t is the in
tention of those back of the scheme
to provide an army heater, in which
to put the clothing of the men while
they sleep in order to remove germs
and insect life. Applicants for free
lodging and food will be given work,
wherever possible, arrangements hav-
ing been made by those back of the
scheme with certain manufacturers
around the city, to help by giving
these men employment Every self
respecting man who is willing to
work will receive help, but hoboes
who try to live off others and will not
work for the living, will soon be
found out, and they i'll receive short
shrift in the police court
While there will be no religious
services in the reading room a SYM
pathetic Christian man will he given
charge and he will give the men a
welcome and help them to the best
of his ability. He will be present in
the police court ready to help those
who need assistance and also ready to
spot the impostor. The man who asks
for something and will give no return
will be given a chance by the police
to move on out of town.
1t is not expected that this work will
he self-supporting, for no effort will
We Indue TO make any m ney. 1t is
expected to have to feed hundreds of
homeless and penniless men who APP
ply for help. Help has been prom
ised by numerous persons in North
Yakima who wish to see such a work
succeed. They have subscribed a GER
tain amount for every month and in
return will receive meal tickets to
give out to those asking for help, in
place of handing money to unknown
persons
These tickets will be numbered so
that each donor may know II her has
been used and thus be able to Judge
as to the character of the one asking
for assistance. This method will be
hailed by many man who during
the winter is approached by those
needing food and shelter, for 1t will
be a means of helping some poor soul
the donors knowing that their help
is not going astray
Those interested in the work are
headed by a committee composed of
