The CANADIAN NORTHERN
MAY HAVE EASTERN TERMINAL
IN PORTLAND.
Efforts Being Made by Big Dominion
Railroass-

Portland, Me.-Efforts are being
made by the Canadian Northern Rail
way, the third of the great Canadian
systems to begin a transcontinental
line through the Dominion, to gain a
terminal here.
A company has already been organ
ized and has obtained a charter TO con
strUct a railroad from Portland to
South Portland, and to erect whatever
terminal facilities may be needed
there This location offers the only
available ground for terminal at the
Maine seaport, and would make II pos
sible for a transcontinental line to ac-
quire a Portland entry 10 tidewater at
comparatively low cost
1t is no secret that for some time
the Canadian Northern, which is now
engaged in extending its line east from
Winnipeg and west from Edmonton to
the Pacific, has long desired TO come
TO Portland Its efforts to gain ter
n.inal on United States territory and
a share in New England trade led the
company to take steps toward acquir-
ing rights to build south through Can
ada from Quebec and into the State OF
Maine.
survey of the property is TO be
made soon. When the Canadian North
ern finally enters Portland, it is prac-
tically a foregone conclusion that the
South Portland charter will be turned
over to it, and that the terminal will
be built according to the plans as out
lined.
The Canadian Northern at present
taps a rich grain country in the Cana
dian Northwest, with its through line
from Winnipeg 10 Edmonton. 1t Is
building east from the latter city, and
has already a terminus on the Great
Lakes. Another line Of the system
runs between Quebec and Montreal.

MAKE AMERICAN
WOMEN FARMERS
Mrs. Kate Woolsey Plans Model
City for Girls
373 ACRES GIVEN FOR PURPOSE

Boston.-The reason for the high
cost of living. according 10 Howard
II. Gross, of the National Fertility
League, is that the American farmer
is the most inefficient in the world.
Gross made this charge before the
Forward-to-the-Land League conven-
ton at the Hotel Bellevue.
The German farmer gets 2S bush
els Of wheat TO the acre, while the
American raises barely half that
amount. He said the land league
would change this by giving each man
a little land and having it cultivated
intensively.
That women are particularly adapt
ed TO this intensive farming is the
contention of Mrs. Kate Woolsey,
New York society leader, who has or.
ganiZed a woman's colonization bu-
reau and proposes TO establish a
model city" where women will do
all the farm work. She says it will be
better for them than the occupations
they are now engaged in.
Farming is becoming a society fad
and reforms are being attempted from
the top down, instead of from the
bottom up. Such reforms. caid Prof
William Hurd, of Amherst, were
bound TO fail, because the farmer
would not be dictated TO or patron
lied.
Mrs. Haviland II. Lund secretary
of the league. defended the organiza.
ton, saying that It's intention was TO
interest farmers as well as society
people.

The 70 acres near Lowell will prob

women and children and will furnish
most of the food for the family. In
times of unemployment this will pre-
vent the misery and resulting crimes
