Tanbark as a Fuel.

Perhaps the most important OF
waste fuels in the United States has
been spent tanbark. A rough estimate
would indicate that this material gen
Grated few years ago an amount Of
steam that would have otherwise re-
CURED the yearly consumption of
about 100000 tons of high grade coal.
Yet this valuable fuel was at one time
considered mere detriment and an
expense to the leather industry 1t
was disposed of by dumping it into
rivers, filling in waste ground and by
making roads with it, often necessitat-
ing the paying out of large sums for
its disposition. This strikingly illus.
trates a case of how the Improvement

THE LURE OF THE WEST
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOUSANDS OF SETTLERS.

Writing on the Canadian West, an
eastern exchange truthfully says:
1.-THE West still calls with impera-
tive voice. To prairie and mountain,
and for the Pacific Coast, Ontario's
young men and women are attracted
by tens Of thousands yearly. The
great migration has put an end to the
fear freely expressed not many years
ago by those who knew the West from
the lakes to the farther coast of Van
couver Island. that Canada would
some day break in two because of the
predominance of Continental European
and American settlers in the West"
This Is true. While the immigra.
ton from the United States Is largo,
running close to 10000 year, that of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that member, max
ing a total of 100000 per year, there
is a strong influx from Eastern Can
ada. 1t is not only into the prairie
provinces that these people go, but
many of them continue westward, the
glory of British Columbia's great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture
and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast expanse
OF the plains attract hundreds OF thou

tivate their vast holdings There is
still room, and great opportunity in

est part of the great panorama that
is spread before the eye on a journey
through the country. Nature is still
supreme, and man is still the divine
pigmy audacously seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
unconquered half continent
The feature that most commends
itself in Western development today
is the home making spirit" The
West will find happiness in planting
trees and making gardens and build
ing schools and colleges and UNIVERSE
ties, and producing a home environ

one is trying to make his pile prepar-
