PREPARING FOR
new SETTLERS
EXTENDING THE AGRICULTURAL
AREA IN WESTERN CANADA

For sometime past the Canadian
government has had surveyors az
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 or
1872, 900 could be increased Recent
computation made by the officials OF
the immigration branch "a 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 viii give upward of
total of 100000 souls.
But this is not to be wondered at
when it is realized what is Offering in
tue lIIoS prairie provinces anu a1SO
in the coast province of British Co
lumbia, which is also bidding strong
~ 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 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 young man would
sell out my interests in less than two
months and come right to the Cana
dian Northwest, where so many OBJ

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth of Drug Habit in United States
Alleged to Be Due to Opiates
Ordered in Prescriptions

That 80 per cent of all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured in this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by Dr. L. Z. Kebler,
Chief of the Division of Drugs, Depart
ment of Agriculture. This statement
and others. proving that physicians
and not patent" medicines are re
sponsible for fhe appalling growth OF
drug addiction in the United States
was made bySDr. Kebler in an address.
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study Of Alcohol and
Narcotics.
DR.. Kebler is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent in
the last 40 years, and that American
medical men wera not discriminating
enough in their use of opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients, he
said, is creating thousands of drug
users every year.
''It is a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use of cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor Estate
laws are not saving the public from
the grip of the drug habit, and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss of
the morphine and cocaine fiend.
1.-THE worst of it is that the impor-
tation of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. I have heard it said on reliable
authority that 80 psr cent. of the Co
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb-
ler's address, DR.. J. A Patterson, at
Grand Rapids. Michigan, in a public
statement said that 10 out of every 20
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe their
downfall to physicians prescriptions.
