PEARY Is HONORED ON
ANNIVERSARIES DISCOVERY

New York, April S.-Rea- Admiral
Robert f. Peary, d~iscoverer Of the
north pole, is Of h,. ,pinion that both
A~mundson, the Norwegian, and Captain
Scott, the Englishman. attained the
south pole. He expressed this view
last night in an address at a celebra-
ton marking the third anniversary Of
his discovery. at which he was hon.
ored by an unique medal made up in
part of q meteorite which he brought
from the Arctic regions in 1897.
Admiral Peary declared that from
his study of the competition between
Amundsen and Scott, he believed the
Englishman had also been successful
in reaching the south pole about the
middle of January. or about a month
later than Amundsen reached it.
The polar celebration was under the
auspices Of the Peary Arctic club, the
American Geographical society and the
American Museum Of Natural History.

When a child sulks drowsily, or is

PHILADELPHIA MEETING
WATCHED WITH INTEREST

Philadelphia, April 9.-One hundred
and seventy-ive thousand idle anthra-
cite mine workers and numberless
thousands of other interested persons
will turn their eyes toward Philadel-
phia this week. hoping the conference
to be held in this city on Wednesday
between representatives Of the men and
operators will result in a new agree
ment and speedily end the suspension
of mining inaugurated April /.
The eagerness shown by both sides
to meet again has caused the miners
to feel that with concessions on both
sides there will be little difficulty in
reaching a satisfactory agreement.
When the suspension began many Of
the men felt that a compromise in
crease in wag 8 would be granted. thus
ending the trL dbles, but during the last
week evidence has cropped up hat the
union officers will insist on some sort
of recognition OF the organization. If
the conference splits on this question
a long suspension Is likely.
In any event 1t is expected the sus-
pension will last at least two weeks
longer, for II an agreement Is reached
its acceptance will be left to the men
at a convention.

WHY PEOPLE GO TIC
CANADA

Those who are wondering why the
Number of Americans going to Canada
year by year increases in the rates
that it does, would not be so surprised
were they to accompany one of the
numerous excursions that are being
run under the auspices Of the Govern
ment from several of the states. and
remain with the settler until he gets
onto the free homesteads, which. as
stated by Speaker Champ Clark. in the
U. S. senate the other day, comprises
16O acres Of the most fertile soil and
with remarkably easy settlement con-
ditions. Then watch the results,
whether 1t be on this free homestead
OF l6O acres or on land which he nay
purchase at from SIS. to $40. per acre,
FULLY as good as the 500. and $50.
per acre land Of his native state, and
which his means will not permit his
purchasing. On the part Of the mem
bers of the U. S. Senate and Congress
there is nothing but praise for Canada.
Canadian laws and Canadian lands al
though the reasonable desire Is shown
In their remarks. that they pass legis-
lation, (Which is very praiseworthy)
that will make the land laws Of the
United States much easier.
1t is the success of the American
settler in Canada that attracts others.
and when experiences such as the fol-
lowing are related to the friend back
home" Is it any wonder that increased
interest is aroused and a determine
ton arrived at, to participate in the
new-found way up in Canada that
means wealth and health and all that
accompanies it.
William Johnston, who formerly
lived at Alexandria, Mimi, settled in
the Alberg District near Battle River
and in writing to one Of the Canadian
Government agents, located In the

the country, and would not sell unless

Good reasons to account for the
number going to Canada.
