EXPRESS COMpAN BILL.
Senator Gardner Would Have the Gov ernment Take Properties, Operating
 Them as Part of Postal Service.

Senator Gardner of Maine introduced a bill under which the government would take over t4e properties of ex. press companies and operate them as part of the postal service. extendino the service to the rural delivery The measure indicates the probable cost of taking over the properties as follows:
 Real property, $14,932, ,169: equip ments, $7.381 ,4O5; materials and sup plies, $13S,210; advance payments on contracts. $5,S36.6UG: franchises, good will, etc, $10,877 .3G0; total, 39, ,165. .S19
 While the balance sheets of the com. panies show other assets of nearly $150,0OO,OOO, Senator Gardner argues that these are not devoted to express service and that this property might be retained by the corporations with out impairing its value.
 1t is proposed by the author of the bill for the establishment of the postal express, including members of both branches of congress, that rates charg. ed for express service under the gov. ernment shall be based upon weight and length of haul rather than upon the system In effect for the carrying of mails. The power to fix rates would rest with the postOfflce department subject to appeal to the interstate commerce commission.

Newspapers and Literature.

All this over emphasis of the I'M
meaning surface is due to confusion
Of newspaper and literary standards,
ends, aims. The word literary has come
to suggest an absence of red-blood;
spinners and knitters in the sun; the
S5 cent magazine crowd; this is non
sensical, of course. In its elemental
meaning literature is at least as stern
a jab as journalism, albeit the inten-
ton and function of the latter is mere
ly to present things that happen, of
the former to volatilize such material
into lowering and potent meanings, to
strike the rock and raise spirit that
is life.

knack of driving home a statement
with an epigram.
At a luncheon Senator Pomerene
described as a would-be litterateur.
Thanks to whisky and strong
cigars" he said, "the poor fellow has
failed to make good. He earns a pre-
carious living by newspaper work.
but though he is so now, none of the
wondrous novels and thrilling stories
that he used to prate about have ap-
peared.
"And yet, in his shabby apartment,
over a bottle of cheap liquor and a
box of cheap cigars, he will boast by
the hour-poOr, gray, wrinkled duffer
of his unfinished MSS Oh, they
will appear yeti Yes, he will yet H.
lumine the world with the light of his
genius"
Senator Pomerene sighed and con-
cluded
"Ah, if we could deceive others as
easily as we deceive ourselves, what
regulations we'd all have, to be sure!"

WESTERN CANADA'S
PROSPERITY
NOT A BOOM, BUT DUE TO NAT.
uRAL DEVELOPMENT.

One of the largest banks in Holland
has been doing a big business in
Western Canada, and Mr.. w. Wester-
man, the President, on a recent visit
into the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta, expressed
himself as being much impressed with
present conditions and prospects, and
was convinced that the great pros
perity of the Dominion was not
boom, but merely the outcome of nat
ural developments.
Not only has money been invested
largely in Western Canada by the
Holland Banks, but by those of Ger
many, France, as well as Great Brit
ain. Not only are these countries con-
tributing money, but they are also
contributing people, hard headed, in
dustrious farmers, who are helping to
produce the two hundred million bush
els of wheat and the three hundred
million bushels Of the other small
grains that the Provinces of the
West have harvested this season.
During the past fiscal year there
came into Canada from the United
States 1870; from Austria Hungary
21,651; from Belgium 1901; Holland
LOTT; France 1904; Germany 1854;
Sweden 1894; Norway 1892; and
from all countries the immigration to
Canada in that year was 354,237.
From the United States and foreign
countries the figures will be increased
during the present year.
Most of these people have gone to
the farms, and it is no far look to the
time when the prophecy will be full
filed Of half billion bushel crop of
wheat in Western Canada. Advertise
