INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF AMERICANS
GOING TO CANADA

Although Western Canada suffered,
as did many other portions OF the
west, from untoward conditions, which
turned one of the most promising
crops ever seen in that country, into
but little more than an average yield
of all grains, there is left in the
farmers hands. big margin OF profit
or course there were many farmers
who were fortunate enough TO harvest
and market a big yield, and with the
prices that were secured made hand
some returns. From wheat, oats, bar
ley and fax marketed to the LIST Of
January, 1912, there was a gross rev.
enue OF s75,3S4,000. The cattle, hogs.
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this up to SOL 100000 or n million
dollars in excess of 1910. There was
still in the farmers hands at that
time about 80 million bushels OF wheat
worth at least another sixty-five mil
lion dollars following for inferior
grades), besides about 100 million
bushels Of oats to say nothing of bar
ley and fax, which would run into sew
eral million or dollars.
There is great thrush OF settlers
to occupy the vacant lands through
out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. The reports from the Govern
ment show that during the past year
upwards Of 1000 Americans crossed
the border into Canada. A great many
of these took up farms, over ten thou
sand having homesteaded in fact the
records show that every state in the
Union contributed. A larger number,
not caring to go so far away as the
homesteading area, have purchased
lands at from fifteen dollars an acre
to twenty-five dollars an acre. The
prospects for a good crop for 1912
are as satisfactory as for many years.
The land has had sufficient moisture,
and with reasonably early spring, 1t
is safe to predict a record crop.
Those who have not had the latest
literature sent out by the Government
agents should send to the one nearest,
and secure copy.

BITULITHIC MAKES GOOD IN
COLFAX
Proves so Satisfactory That it Will be
Used Exclusively in this City

The Warren Construction Company
has been granted the contract to pave
Perkins Avenue district, thus COM
pleting the whole of the paving in
Colfax, which is now a bitulithic town
in every Of the word. The eff
forts of some property owners to
bring other paving and divide the
business of the town has come to
naught. The company which has
paved all of Colfax's streets that have
been paved to date, and which has
proved so satisfactory has been grant
ed the exclusive right to the business
of the town and no other paving is to
be used here.
This is not the result solely of
action by the city council. Bitulithic
has given such general satisfaction
that there are few property owners
who desire any other kind.

GOOD SHOW AT STAR

The La Reno troupe who have beer
playing at the Star Theatre this week
have been putting up a very goot
brand of Vaudeville.
Dick La Reno performs some dar-
ing feats, by balancing his little
daughter on his chin, with a long
pole ON which is fastened a bicycle
while she pumps the wheel at full
speed, also many other feats which
brings applause from the whole audi
ence.
Mr.. and Mrs. La Reno and family
are late from the Orephum circuit
and their work is certainly the high
up kind which shows that they are
far advanced in the entertaining line
to be playing anywhere but on the
big circuit.
Everynight the public is treated
with a complete change of program
singing, dancing, and comic sketches,
while little Utahna La Reno the little
daughter, does some singing,
and the expression that the child puts
into her work certainly shows some
very fine training on the part of her
parents She sang her "Yama' song
Wednesday night, which brought the
house down, and when they called for
more she gave them, Fiddle Up."
