TO AMERICANS
NOW ROBERT sRocERs,, MINISTER
OF IHE INTERIOR, ~ WlNNlPe0
ADDRESS. ISSUES WELCOME
OF AMERICANS TO WEST.
ERN CANADA.

During the course OF a reply to an
address presented to Hon. Robert Rog.
err, the newly appointed Minister Of
the Interior Of Canada at q banquet
gwen at Winnipeg In his honor that
gentleman spoke on immigration. Tho
tone OF his remarks was that he intend.
cd to pursue an aggressive and for.
ward policy in the matter Of immigra-
tion. In part, he said:
haps Of that department, (lnterior) IL
that Of immigration.
II there is anything more than an
other we want here It is q greater pop
ulation. and It shall be my duty to pre-
sent to the people in all parts Of the
world where desirable emigrants are
to be found the advantages and the
great possibilities of this country. We
have received in the past a reasonably
large immigration from south Of the
international boundary, and In this
connection let me say Just word for
our American cousins who have found
happy homes amongst us, and those
whom We hope to welcome in greater
numbers In the years to come. There
are hundreds of thousands Of them In
our prairie provinces. happy In the en-
3oyment Of freedom as great as they
ever knew, and all contributing in q
material way towards the development
Of Canada. We are not blind to their
value as settlers. They come better
equipped with scientific farming
knowledge than most of our emf
grants. and constitute without doubt
the wealthiest class of emigrants any
new country has ever known. As
head Of the immigration department it
will be my privilege to offer them a
welcome hearty and sincere, and to
30 contribute to their welfare that un-
der the protecting folds of the Union
Jack they will enjoy as great a degree
Of liberty and happiness as under the
Stars and Stripes. The Borden gov
ernment cherishes nothing but tho
kindliest feelings for the people OF the
great republic to the south, and will
do all in its power to increase the
bonds of kinship and neighborly good
feeling that has SO long existed.
(Hear, hear)
while We adopt . vigorous emf.
grafton policy in that country, we viii
also adopt the same vigorous policy In
other parts of the world. We will go
to England. Ireland and Scotland, and
every other country irrespective Of
race. creed or nationality. where We
can find suitable and desirable emf
grants for this great country. I think
much good work can be done in those
countries, and especially perhaps at
the present time in England, Ireland
and Scotland. Now. then. 1t will be
my duty to stir up that policy in the
most vigorous manner possible"

first submarine telephone cable to be
fitted with what are known technical
ly as loading" coils. In this cable at
intervals of one nautical mile through

to increase the capacity of the cables

!. Killing ASSAULTS
JUDGE N. c. HILL

Judge n. c. Hill was assaulted yes
terday afternoon about dark by L.
King, the florist and gardener, who
struck the Juuge just ABOVE the left
eye with pair of hevy hedge shears,
inflicting a painful wound. The diff
Guilty occurred in front of the Abney
Furniture store on Front street. Judge
Hill was walking down the street on
his way home and King was seen to
pass closely behind him and when he
came alongside of the Judge, he is
said TO have without warning struck
Mr.. Hill hard blow with the shears.
The scuffle attracted the attention of
a number of men who were standing
in front of the postoffice and on the
opposite side of the street, who rushed
to the scene and separated the partici-
pants before either could inflict fur
Their injury on the other. 1t was some
time before Officer Beverly appeared
on the Sceen and arrested King, who
was still in an ugly mood.
Kings grievance seems to have
been about an account he claims Judge
Hill owes him for work done, and
about which there had been some dis
pute. Had the blow struck Judge
Hill not glanced it would probably
have caused a very serious injury as
the instrument used was of sufficient
size and weight to deal death. \
King was arrested and carried to
the city hall, where he made bond to
appear this morning, but as no charge
had been preferred against him in the
court he was turned over to the county
to await action by the grand jury.
