 If Murphy were at all sensitive to satire he woudl have felt the sting of the contrast between Cnderwood's s recital of the faithful public services of the congressional democrats. and the unmentioned. but notorious. public be- trayal of the Albany democrats-now being driven to political self-slaughter under the Murphy whip.

OFFICIAL PAPER.
NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST II. 1911.
CANADA.

The Imperial Act known as the British North American Acr." provid- ing for the voluntary union of the whole of British North America in one legislative confederation under the name of the Dominion of Canada. % passed the Parliament forty-three years ago-March 29, ls67
 Thus. without the expenditure uf a dollar or ihe loss or d drop ut blood, was established great and mighty nation. for nation Canada certainly is. in every essential sense of Una. Wud since she makes her own laws. man ages her own affairs and has within her own hands the shaping of her destiny h. certain federal matters the Domin- ion looks to London. just as regarding similar matters New York and vir- ginia look to Washington. but Canada is free in as fun sense as the States are free
 When the first Parliament of the Dominion met al Ottawa. with Lord Monck as Nieeroy and Sis John A Macdonald as Premier. it's population Was about 3.ooO.0oo There are today within it's borders some 5000 00O of as fine people as are to be found upon the face of the earth
 In area the Dominion exceeds the United States by 500 O00 square miles. and while some of this territory is for ever beyond the pale of civilization on account of its proximity to the Arctic Circle. much of il Is capable of sup porting large population The vast prairie lands Of the great Northwest include the most fertile soils of the world, and are already to home of large and steadily growing population. The growth of the Canadian Northwest Is one of the maryels of the las, quarter century and Il IS ab olutely certain that the region Is destined to become the seat uf p4pulous states and to con stitute one of the chief granaries of he world
 It Is no wild stretch of the imagina- lion to think of Canada, before the end of the century. as having a population of a hundred millions. with great cities a network of railways. manufacturing plants everywhere doitiug her vast ter ritory. q commerce as wide as the world. and. erowning II all. thorough iy up-to-date social order, resting on the bedrock principles of democracy and progress
 For. let it not he overlooked for a moment that whether or not Canada and the United States are ultimately united politically. they are. and ever will he united in the trend and pur- pose of their policies. in their deter mination to remain true to the cause or human liberty. in their unswerving de- votion 10 the foundation principles Of all true and lasting progress.

selves by watching the queer motions
