Democrats Score Victories

Tuesday of last week was regu-
lar election day in many of the
states of the union and in prac-
tically all of the large cities. In
nearly every instance the candi-
dates of the Democratic party
were successful. To the national
administration the endorsement
of the principles of the Democrat
ic party ought to be very crafty
ing, and it clearly demonstrates
that the people are in hearty &C
cord with the reforms that have
: been made in the tariff and those
proposed in the new currency
bill.
Probably the most important
event of Tuesday was the Mary
land election. Here Blair Lee, a
prominent Democrat was elected
to the United States Senate to
fill the vacancy made by the
death of Senator Rayner. When
Sen. Lee qualities he will be the
first Senator elected by popular
vote. In the Third Maryland

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 175,000
new settlers from the United States
10 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. AZ 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 1t 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 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 1t and what his
friends say of 1t. 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 1 would
sell out my interests In less than two
months and come right to the Cana
dian Northwest, where so many op-
portunities abound. "-Advertisement.

GOVERNMENT MONEY
MAY HELP BUILD ROAD FROM
HUNTINGTON TO STATE
CAPITAL.
Governor 10 Willing to Recommend
This Route to Those in Charge Of
Fund IL Counties Act Promptly.

Charleston.-If Kanawha and Cabell
counties join hands and act promptly
1t will be possible to improve the road
between the two cities, assisted by the
United States government. The two
cities have already given the matter
some consideration, and the matter
has been placed before the governor.
Discussing the matter Gov. Glass
cock said:
About a month ago / received 6

eral and secretary of agriculture re-
ferring TO the appropriation made by
congress Of 100000 to be expended by
the secretary of agriculture in coop
GRAFTON with the postmaster general In
improving the conditions of roads to
be selected by them over which rural
delivery is or may hereafter be estab-
lished and stating that if / would
cause TO be selected a suitable road

over the entire length of which is de-
livery of mail by rural carriers and
arrange to have $4,000 raised by the
state or local subdivisions thereof,
ia dSSoIudHCe WiIu the requirements
of the law, the federal government
would set aside $4,000 additional from
the appropriation above referred to
and expend the sum of $4,000 thus
provided, or so much of it as might
seem wise, for the improvement and
maintenance of the road selected.
Il gave notice OF this fact to the
newspapers sometime since and have
received several applications for this
money. Some of the applicants, how
ever, were not in a position to fully
comply with the conditions Of the APP
preparation, in this that the road that
they desired to improve was not fifty
miles in length, and the first to place
themselves in position to receive this
money are persons interested in the
improvement of the road between
Charleston and Huntington and if
kanawha and Cabell counties will
provide for the $4,000 required by the
government l will recommend that the
$4,000 which the government is to
furnish be used in improving and
maintaining the road between here
and Huntington.
