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-
oommodation 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
to Canada during the present year.
and there were those who doubted
that the previous years figures OF
10000 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 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 1t. 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 I 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.

Don't you know what that is?' The
Dutchman confessed that he didn't.

man-Hawley, without doubt-must
be in the cabin. At the thought
Keith's teeth clinched. and he had to
struggle to control his passion. But
no; that would never do; he must dis
cover first exactly where the girl was
located; after that they would attend
to the ours. Before creeping back to
the others, he made quick examina-
ton along the rear of the cabin, but
could find no visible point of weak
ness. He tried to recall from memory
the nature of the lock on that back
door, but could remember nothing ex-
cept an ordinary wooden latch. If
he could insert knife into the crack
that might very easily be dfslodged.
He drew his hunting knife for the at
tempt, and, first glancing about, per-
ceived a man creeping toward him. 1t
proved to be Bristoe.

Bring our fellows up closer, and post
them where they can cover those fell

Bristoe crawled back like a snail,
and confident the others would do their
part, Keith thrust his knife blade deep
into the narrow crack and began prob
ing after the latch. In spite of all eau
ton this effort caused a slight noise.
and suddenly he started back at the
sound of woman's voice:
What do you want? | am armed,
and will fire through the door If you
do not go away!"
His heart leaping with exultation,
Keith put his lips close to the crack.
Hope" he exclaimed as loudly as
he dared. This Is Keith; open the
door"
He could hear little smothered cry
break from her lips, and then the
sound of bar being hastily removed.
An instant, and the door opened ST.
ently just wide enough to permit her
slender figure to slip through. She
grasped him with her hands, turning
his face to the light of the stars, and
he could feel her form tremble.
"Oh. knew you would come!

the words barely audible.

held her close to him. begging her
not to break down now.

Eaqer for His Riuhts.

AS little Freddie had reached the ma,
ture age of three, and was about to
discard petticoats for manly raiment
in the form of knickerbockers, his
mother determined to make the occa.
sion memorable one. The Bristol
Times tells what happened.
The breakfast table was laden
with good fare as the newly-breeched
infant was led into the room. "Ah-"
cried the proud mother, now you are
little mani"
The tledgling was in ecstasies. Dis
playing his garments to their full adj
vantage, he edged closer to his moth
er, and whispered, "Mummie, can I
call pa Bill now?"-Youth's Compan-

before sundown-two Mexicans and an
Indian. One of them was an awful

cheek, and face that made me shud-
