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 &C
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 $4,000
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 off 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 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 to 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 | were a young man | would
sell out my interests in less than two
months and come right to the Cana
dian Northwest, where so many OPP
portunities abound. "-Advertisement

Ancient Science,

1t is generally supposed that those
who combated the opinion that the
earth was a sphere when Columbus
proposed his great voyage were only
giving expressions to opinions that
had always been entertained. But the
fact is that long before the Christian
era the Greek and Egyptian philoso-
pliers entertained the idea that the
earth was round and knew vastly
more about eclipses, the motions of
the moon and other astronomical mat
tiers than many do even today. The
idea of Columbus had been anticipated
by the ancient philosophers by more
than sixteen centuries.

LOOKING After His Bait.

Daniel and Harvey, two old, expert
fishermen, were still fishing for
trout in deep water, sitting with their
backs together, when Daniel acct
dentally fell out of the boat and went
down. Harvey looked back and miss,
ed his companion, who at that mo,
ment appeared on the surface, pipe
still in his mouth, shaking his wiskers
profusely.
Harvey-Gosh, Dan! ] jest missed

Every other nation except Great
Britain that has opera at all has it in
it's native tongue. France, Spain,
Italy, Germany and even Russia have
the masterpieces OF music sung in
words ineligible to the people that
hear them. Only we that speak Eng
fish are content to listen to songs we
do not understand and to follow emo
lions that might as well be rendered
in pantomime. The assertion that
English is not singing language was
born either of ignorance or of impu-
dence, says the New York World. Our
language contains some of the most
beautiful songs in the world, and some
of the greatest of singers have delight
ed to render them. Any opera singer
could surely learn to sing English as
easily as Russian.

sPooNINe A FINE AT.


Spooning, by which is meant tina:
form of affection described by the sage
Noah Webster as acting with dem
onstrative or foolish Tondness," has
been placed upon solid and respon-
sible basis in the Lynn high school.
Books on etiquette for the young usu-
ally deprecate spooning, or omit to
mention it at all, but in this high
school boys and girls who desire to
spoon have merely to get permit
from their parents. To be more ex-
plicit, the principal of the school, OBJ
serving some mushy scenes in the cor
Fidors of the building, recently an
bounced that public lovemaking must
stop; but he added that pupils desir-
Ing to spoon must bring a written per-
mission from their parents. Spooning
thus is reduced to practical work
ing basis, says the Boston Globe. If
you produce the parental permit, pre-
Bumably you may spoon. So girls who
like spooning, and evidently there are
some in Lynn who do, must produce
their permit or go unloved. Nam
ma, you haven't made me out spoon
ing permit yet" may be heard in the
homes of Mary, Margaret and Estelle,
while in another part of the city, Paul,
Henry and Oswald are saying, PA,
just sign this spooning permit, before
you go downtown" When the per-
mits are issued and have been o. KID
by the principal, there will be an OPP
portunity for organized labor to estab-
Iish Spooners' Union No. / in Lynn.

The specialists in tuberculosis, re-
porting to the French Academy of Sci
ences, declare that as long as a man
retains one-sixth of the lung capacity
with which he is endowed by nature,
his vitality remains unimpaired.
This is to be noted as encouragement
for victims of consumption. AS long
as one-third of the original tract of the
lungs remains, there is chance that
cicatrices may form and the wounds
of the disease may heal, and this one
third will constitute lung capacity suf-
fcient for the patient to do business
upon to the end of long life.

SimpIifx Life.

81 do believe in simplicity. 1t is as
tonishing as well as sad, how many
trivial affairs even the wisest man
thinks he must attend to in a day;
how singular an affair he thinks he
must omit. When the mathematician
would solve a difficult problem he
first frees the equation of all incum-
brances and reduces it to its sim
plest terms. So simplify the prob
lem of life, distinguish the necessary

at Vicksburg and the indomitable
Nogi learned by the failure of the first
rush attack at Port Arthur.
In a week, any army that has
spades and a few of the resources of
material which should be part of the
storehouse at it's base should make
such a position as that of the series
of rising hills back of Tchatalja fully
tenable against any but siege attack,
unless there was room for a flank at
tack.
Turks Turn the Tables.
And the breadth of the position
open to infantry approach in any at
tempt at storming was only Is miles,
while from either sea side of the mar
row strip of peninsula the Turkish
navy could bring into play more pow
erful guns than any Demetrieff had at
his disposal.
At the same time there is to be
kept in view the generally accepted
tenet that you must not send in
fantry against any we'll entrenched po-
sition until it's batteries are silenced
or it is known that they can be kept
under control during the infantry at
tack by a well concentrated fire of
your own batteries.
Demetrieff used his guns for day
in trying to develop the strength and
location of the enemy's batteries. But
the Turks would not be drawn. At last
the tables were turned.
Meanwhile Adrianople also was tell
ing. You may discuss as much as you
please whether the original plan of
the Bulgarian staff was to mask this
fortress or to take it by storm, the
fact remains that the only result was
to mask it, and the lesson was that
any garrison in the rear of an advan-
cling army. though it is held securely
in investment. remains a mighty force
in being for the enemy's purpose.
Nature meant Adrianople to be a
fortress. Past it on the south flows
the Martha river. taking its origin in
the Balkans and blowing its way
across the alluvial lowlands of Thrace
to the sea- A strong bridge crosses it
on the line of the Constantinople high
way at Mustapha Pasha, some twenty.
five miles from Adrianople.
This bridge, which is not far from
the Bulgarian frontier, the Turks left
intact, a characteristic piece of care
| lessness in the earlier part of the war
in keeping with all other signs of Tur-
kish decentralization and wrongheaded-
ness, which might easily lead the Bull
garians to think that Adrianople would
not resist a brilliant onslaught.
/ Mustapha Pasha became the head
quarters of the second Bulgarian army,

TURKEY DAY FOOT BALL
Two Fast Games to be Played on Local
Gridiron Thanksgiving. /,

TWO big games of football on the To-
cal gridiron, have been arranged for
Thanksgiving afternoon. Twin Falls
high school VS.. the Alumni will be the
big game with the Buhl seconds oppos-
ing the local high school seconds for a
curtain raiser
The high school alumni game prom
lses to be one of the hardest fought
games seen on the local grounds this
year. The alumni have long been
planning on this game and early be-
gan taking steps to win the bacon. A
large number of the old guard have
been induced to return for the game
and the high school will face eleven
football stars when the game begins.
Secret practice has been adopted by
both teams and the alumni are holding
evening practices in the high school
gym. Many of the alumni are on the
town team and have been out in suit
long enough to be in the pink of con-
dition.
The curtain raiser will be a scrap
to the finish. Buhl is still smarting
under the defeat their regulars re-
ceived at Twin Falls and their seconds
are coming with the do or die spirit
to square the deal. These teams are
evenly matched and we'll coached. 1t
Will be a battle royal. 1t is hoped
large crowd will turn out to these
games and swell the proceeds which
go to wipe out the debt of the high
school Athletic association.

the TACT that much of the mail for
that camp comes from Idaho the
roundabout way has become very ex-
penslve and the government has de-
clded to eliminate mileage especially
with regard to Parcel post. Another
thing which was put up to the depart
ment was the inaccessibility of the
Deeth. route in the winter owing to
altitude of the passes into the camp.
Mail from this city can go in at any
