PREPARING FOR
new SETTLERS
EXTENDING THE AGRICULTURAL
AREA IN WESTERN CANADA.

For sometime past the Canadian
government has had surveyors at
work plating new areas for the ac-
commodation Of the largely increas-
ing number Of settlers coming in to
occupy the agricultural districts Of
the three prairie provinces. There
were those connected with the work
of securing settlers for western Can
ada who last spring prophesied that
there would be as many as 49, 900
new settlers from the United States
to Canada during the present year.
and there were those who doubted
that the previous years figures of
$4,000 could be increased. Recent
computation made by the officials of
the immigration branch at Ottawa
show that the largest estimates made
by officials will be beaten and that
the 100000 mark from the United
States will be, reached. AS great an
increase will be shown in the figures
of those who will reach Canada from
other countries this year. The re-
suits Of the years work in Canadian
immigration will give upward of a
total Of 100000 souls.
But this is not to be wondered at
when it is realized what is offering in
the three prairie provinces and also
in the coast province Of British Co.
lumbia, which is also bidding strong
ly and successfully, too, for a certain
class of settler, the settler who
wishes to go into mixed farming or
fruit raising. When the central por-
ton Of this province is opened up by
the railway now being constructed
there will be large areas Of splendid
land available for the settler.
Reference has frequently been made
of late by those interested in develop
ing the American west to the large
numbers who are going to Canada,
high officials in some Of the railways
being amongst the number t o give
voice to the fact. The more these
facts become known the more will
people seek the reasons and these
are best given when one reads what
prominent people say of it. What the
farmer thinks of it and what his
friends say Of it. James A. Flaherty,
supreme knight Of the Knights of Co
lumbus, was in western Canada a
short time ago. He says:
IF I were a young man I would
sell out my interests in less than two
months and come right to the Cana

WARRANTS FOR ARREST OF
FORMER TREASURER FLAVIN

Rapid City, S. D., Dec. 31.-Frank D.
Bangs, special attorney for the board
of county commissioners, has drawn
warrants, which are in the hands of
Sheriff Hewett for service on former
County Treasurer George e. Flavin,
alleging embezzlement. The specific
charge in this warrant is hat Flavin
appropriated $40 by raising a check
payable to the Hennepin Bridge COM
pany for that amount. This will be
made a test case, but it is affirmed
that the bonded expert has unearthed
about 200 similar cases. This is a part
of the alleged $50, 900 shortage which
his report shows exists from 1906 to
1911.
Mr. Flavin is in the city prepared
to defend all charges made against
him and says that there is nothing
that cannot be fully explained.

Professor Hugo Muensterberg writes
that the women of Germany once oc-
cupied a much higher status than they
do now. and that the feminist move
ment in Germany is an effort to re-
cover ground. In medieval Germany
every cultural interest was left to the
women and to the church and men re-
garded 1T as unmanly to learn anything
from books. In the 10th century the
German woman was regarded as decid-

ground before the educational rivalry
of the other sex.
