But the largest benevolence seems
to have been in the distribution of
wood. In October, 1872, so loads we're
bought, at an average of 16 shillings
per load. The next April John Muir
ray, Jr. donates 10 loads and prom
ises 5000 for purchasing more. In
June. 1914, the purchase of a hundred
loads is reported. In March, 1916, $50
loads are ordered. In October, 1921,
81 loads have been bought, at the cost
of II shillings per load, plus the
carriage.
For convenience this wood seems at
times to have been stored in such CEN
tiers as "the Westinghouse yard in
Second street" and "the yard of the
Duane Street Westinghouse. free Of
expense" A certain number of loads
was allotted each walk for distribu-
ton.
On March 4. 1872. it was reported
that 1,0S7 had been aided since Janu-
airy 20; the next month 1874 had been
helped. In December, 1872, 3.499 "suf.

Chamberlain Makes Good Money That
Friends Lost In Bank Owing
to Their Faith In Him.

Senator Chamberlain of Oregon has
been going through life carrying a
burden that few men would have been
conscientious enough to have assumed.
When Chamberlain was young
man practicing law out In Albany.
Ore. he invested $1,000 or SO. practic-
ally all the money he had, in bank
stock. Later he was made one of
the directors of the bank. His con-
nection with the bank became an I'M
portant asset of the institution. for
even as a young man Chamberlain
had a way of inspiring peoples con-
fidence in him, and scores of deposit
tors went to that bank solely because
It was George Chamberlain's bank"
However, Chamberlain was only one
of several directors, and he was I'M
able to have the bank run in as con-
sentative a manner as his own judg-
ment dictated. During period of
financial depression the bank failed.

Vermont Asbestos.

{ In the town Of Lowell large guam
titles Of excellent asbestos is being
produced. Some forty men are en-
ployed and there is a promise Of a
production of 100 tons a day in the
near future. The asbestos produced
in the Lowell mine is of high grade
and known as chrysotile asbestos.
This is the same kind that is pro-
duced in the province of Quebec.
There is only one other mine in the
United States that produces this kind
of asbestos. This is located in Wyo-
ming and is still in the development
stage, SO that it is quite true to state
that the Vermont mine is the only
one of the kind in this country that
is producing asbestos on a CONNER
cial basis.

325, 900 IN ONE YEAR
THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA.
suRpAssEs ALL RECORD.

The returns recently issued by the
Canadian immigration Branch shows
that upwards of $4,000 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 10000
were from the United States. the bal
snce being from the British Isles and
Northern Ervope. 1t will thus be seen
that the sturdy farming element that
has 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 flax
grown on the rich prairie of Western
Canada is constantly attracting more
and more, and year by year the tide
of immigrants to the Western Canada
plains increases; there is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
are not surprised st the number from
the United States being as large as It
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

veyors were at work during the past
season opening up new districts ON

ways have been projecting laterals
from their main lines, and every pro
vision has been taken to accommce
date the newcomer. A recent dis.
patch from Antwerp reads: THE d.
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-C Canada line
two of the best special ,emigrant
steamers afloat, 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

which contained the members of rs
