WHY PEOPLE GO TO
CANADA

Those who are wondering why the
number of Americans going to Canada
year by year increases in the rates
that 1t does, would not be so surprised
they to accompany one of the
numerous excursions that are being
run under the auspices of the Govern
ment from several of the states, anG
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
100 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 100 acres or on land which he may
purchase at from SIS. to $40. per acre,
fully as good as the 500. and $3.50.
per acre land of his native state, and
which his means will not permit his
purchasing. On the part of the men,
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.
It 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 1t.
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
United States says: eve have had no
failures of crops during u nine years
in Canada. l threshed 1908 bushels of
wheat and 1888 bushels of oats in 1911,

country. keep six good work horses

prices for butter and eggs. We get

to $25. per acre. Improved farms are
much higher. l am well satisfied with
the country, and would not sell unless
l got a big price, as we have all done
we'll here"
Good reasons to account for the
number going to Canada.

Ozark, derided good humoredly the
~aristocratic %pretentions that too many
Americans, as soon as they get rich,

Wis. We've got no criterion, no meas

RISE AND FALL OF MINE TOWNS
Bubble OF Popularity Frequently Is
Quickly Punctured In Many
Gold Camps.

Vancouver, B. CIT don't take
long to puncture the bubble of a
towns popularity" remarked Paul G.
Stephens, formerly of Washington, at
the New Ebbttt. Mr.. Stephens has
been In nearly every mining camp
which has sprung up in recent years
in the west, Alaska and British Co
lumbia. The average person in the
east" he continued, does not com
prehend what great gold mines there
are in the small places of the west
about which one hears but little. Take
Nevada, for instance. think the
largest gold producing mine in the
world is located there, near GoIdfeld,
which yields more than 81, OOO, 900 a
month. In Colorado there are scores
of mines that are yielding fortunes,
but they are rarely heard OF. Gold
field, New, at the time of the boom,
grew into a city of nearly 10000 popu-
lation. Today, with the fever gone, it
has scarcely 5000. Rawhide, which
was another of the great gold finds
had at one time more than 10000 peo-
pie, but there are not more than 300
or 400 residents there today.
THE realty values of GoIdfieId have
deprecated so much that property is
worth comparatively little. Lots that
were selling during the boom for as
high as $4,000 are offered now for
$4,000, and there are no buyers. 1t is
almost sad to walk the streets OF
Goldfield and see the vacant business
blocks that were erected by investors
who were carried away for the mo-
ment by the gold craze.
I'm British Columbia, on the Frazier
river, is a little place called Bankers
Vile, which is populated by perhaps rs
or 100 persons, mostly Cinnamon.
There was a time when Barkersville
had 10000 people in 1t and was a
thriving mining camp"

Convenient Code.

Frank I. Cobb used to be a reporter
in Detroit, and knew intimately a for
mer governor Of the state of Michi-
gan, who was renowned, among other
things, for his ability as a free-hand
swearer.
One night Cobb was dining with the
ex-governor and him family. A mes
senger came in to tell the host that
one of his pet political schemes had
just been defeated through the bun

ripped out a string of dark blue ones.

FiIlpinos Dislike Autos.

The reckless and insolent automo-
bilist is hated the world over. In the
Philippines, where most of the auto
mobilists are foreigners, and where
the natives have been used to loiter
comfortably in the roads after the
fashion of easy going southern coun-
tries, the automobiles have long been
a grievance, and, failing TO secure ef-
fectiye regulation, the Filipinos have
adopted the practice of rolling big
boulders into the roadway as a hint
not to turn corners at a breakneck
speed.

Fading Label to Stop RehIIInu

Meditating over the non-refllable
bottle problem, Archibald A. MacDon-
aid of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, has
hit upon a substitute that he believes
will accomplish the same purpose. 1t
is a label which fades on exposure to
the light. The printing thereon van
ishes entirely after a short time,
when, of course, the bottle can be
reflled with anything, but this can
not be palmed off as the original

ceived a patent for his label.

TEETH WORTH $500 EACH
Man Who Lost Eight Is Awarded

New York.-It is very expensive to
knock eight good teeth from a mans
