Under the direction OF Professor G.
Fl. Hill, Of the manual training de-
partment Of the city's schools, the
large number OF floats to be used by
the school children in the big parade
Of the Rainmakers which occurs on
Thursday Of festival week, are rap
idly taking form. The spacious lawn
on the north side of the high school
has been transformed into an immense
outdoor workshop and is the mecca for
numbers of spectators who stop there
daily to watch the students work.
Up to date the manual training
boys have placed platforms on about
20 OF the floats to be used and as fast
as they are completed the floats are
moved to the various schools, there
TO be decorated according to the plans
for the historical or allegorical fea-
ture to be displayed. The students as
well as the teachers have become i'm
bued with a spirit OF enthusiasm and
intend to turn out creations that will
create favorable comment.
On the vacant lots at the rear of
superintendent G. S. Meeks' residence
I09 Thatcher street, another portion of
the manual training class devotes its
time to the construction Of. a series
of wonderful floats designed to repre-
sent the Overland Limited. This dis
play will consist of three floats, each
of which will be built after the plan
or portion OF an up-to date train.
one will represent an engine. while
the other two floats will constitute a
dining car and an observation car, re-
spect;vely.
From now on each individual school
In the city will be at work on its par
ticular float. The work of decorating
and planning the figures on the floats
Is under the supervision of the yari-
GUS teachers and the principal por-
ton of the work will be done by the
deft fingers Of the girl pupils who will
have an opportunity to display their
taste,
4 large consignment Of artificial
flowers for use on the floats has been
received and will be distributed to the
various schools today. Many Of the
floats In the school division of the
Rainmakers' parade will be electrical
ly lighted and the general effect of the
great number OF beautiful floats and

125,000 AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In a report of the House Committee
Canada offers three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with six months leave
of absence each year and most lenient
regulations"
All of which Is true and Ii Is now
the part of the careful reader to con.
s,der the opportunities that exist in
Western Canada which, in addition to
the above. are attractive features.
The evidence Of these Is found in the
letters contributed by some of the
settlers. For instance: A former Min
nesotan. writing from Warner. South
ern Alberta, speaks of that district.
but what he says, applies generally to
all OF Southern Alberta. He says:
II have seen six crops, four of them
were first class. one of them a very
good crop, and the other poor crop.
Government statistics for the last If
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches OF, moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1903 crop was about
as good as l have seen IN this c0un-
try and we had about twelve inches Of
moisture. so that am thoroughly con-
WINGED that with normal conditions,
that Is. from twelve to fifteen inches
Of moisture, and with the natural in
crease Of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one Of
the very best mixed farming districts
In the world. We have good soil, good
water. and a good climate, and Alto
gether just as desirable country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin"
Hundreds of letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being settled so rapidly.
Full particulars can be had of any Ca
madam Government Agent, who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
