This paper is now more than
one year old. In short time the
the terms Of many Of our sub
scribers will expire, and we will
be pleased to receive their instruc-
tons as to whether we shall con-
.tinue sending them the paper or
not. Some who ordered the pa
per nearly a year ago have never
paid anything for it, and under
the U. s. laws we will be obliged
to drop them from the list when
they have become one year in
arrears on subscription.

all in their power to reduce the
expenses Of county government,
yet when they have a chance to
save several hundred dollars in a

matter. Such is the way in which
the democratic members of the
board look at the question Of

Manufacturers Of hosiery in
Germany are refusing to accept
orders from the United States for
goods to be delivered next year.
They say that if the duty on hos
iery IS cut, as contemplated in the
new tariff act, they will be able TO
get better prices from the United
States next year. They do not
figure that the removal or reduc-
ton Of the tariff will inure to the
benefit Of the consumer, but that
they are the ones that will profit
by it. We guess they know their
business.

that after May 9Th. the proceed

at least find that the paper is read

the people are getting much Of
their information as to the doings
of the board, from the columns of
this paper, before they get it from

not be purchased otherwise, if de,
sired.
This commission is composed of the
chancellor of the State University,
the president of the State Agricultural
college, the president of the Emporia
State Normal school, the governor,
the state printer, the state superinten.

A negro was coming along the cross

the driver
The negro jumped about the road
and waved his arms. The COW pro-
ceeded calmly on her way.
''Haid her on Haid her off, Niger"

WESTERN CANADA'S
PHENOMENAL
development
ITS PERMANENcY VERY LITTLE
QUESTIONED.

There have been booms in almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such, and in the course
of time the bubble was pricked and
they burst. But in no country has the
development been as great nor as
| rapid, whether In city or In country,
| as in Western Canada. There may
sometimes be found one who will say
Can 1t last?" Winnipeg, today, stands
where Chicago stands as far as be-
ing the base Of the great commercial
and agricultural country lying a
thousand miles back of it. 1t has an
advantage that Chicago did not have,
for no country in the worlds history
has attracted to its borders a larger
number of settlers in so short time,
or has attracted so much wealth in a
period of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions so favorable as those that
exist in Western Canada today.
The provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan, and Alberta have the
largest area of desirable lands on the
North American Continent, and their
cultivation has just begun.
Even with two hundred million
bushel wheat crop less than eight per
cent. Of the land is under the plough,
four per cent. being in wheat. Less
than five years ago the wheat crop
was only seventy-one million bushels.
1t is simple calculation to estimate
that If four per cent. of the available
cultivable area produces something
over two hundred million bushels,
what will forty-four per cent. produce?
And then look at the immigration that
ls coming into the country. In 1901
1t was 49,149; 1900 being from the
United States. In 1906 it was 1S9,064,
of which $1,000 were Americans, and
in 1912 it was about 100000, Of which
about 100000 are Americans. In the
three years prior to 1912, there were
35S,S59 persons who declared them
selves for Canada, who brought into
Canada in cash, bank drafts, stock,
implements and effects over $350,000,-
900. Why have they gone to Canada?
The American farmer is man of
shrewd business instincts, and when
he finds that he can sell his own farm
at from s100 to 5000 per acre and move
into Canada and homestead 100 acres |
for himself, and similarly for all his
sons who are adult and of age, upon
lands as rich and fertile as those he |
had left, and producing, indeed, sew
eral bushels to the acre in excess of |
anything he has ever known, it will |
take more than an ordinary effort to |
prevent him from making the change. |
He can also purchase good lands at
from $12 to $25 per acre.
And, then, too, there is the Ameri-
can capital following the capital Of
Drawn, muscle and sinew, following it
so as to keep in touch with the indus
trious farmer with which he has had
dealings for years back. This capital |
and the capital of farming experience
Is no small matter in the building up
of country.
VIII western Canada's development
continue? Why not? The total area
of land reported as available for cul-
tivation is estimated as 21S,000000
acres; only fifteen per cent. of this is
under cultivation. Nothing is said of
the great mineral and forest wealth,
of which but little has yet been
ed-Advertisement
