(Contlnued from Yesterday.)
 The highest pitch of this tlinrr is reached in about tw" hours The dancers are almost r,M,ty to drop from exhaustion. when at lasi til, birds ilm,l a suitable resting place. with abund .pt food.
 AS the dance proceeds, the singers sing fifty songs. some of them glory - tying the coming of spring with plen- " of game. Some coaxing the birls 10 settle near their village and be friendly. Some praising the spirits u departed birds etc Immediately after the danes. the wives of the chiefs bring buckets of water which k eagerly drunk by the thirsty per- formers. who retire to their platform ;V rest. There Is an intrrmissiOn of half an hour, during which the uudi- rnce criticise the dancers freely. and p,alse their f,tvorites.
 The next dance which is performed hy the same four chiefs aided hy six women is called "The dance of the hunters and the game"
 The chiefs representing the game birds. the women the hunters. In each hand the women hold an eagle feath- CT about three feet long. tipped with swans down, these are the weapons of the hunters.
 The dancers form a circle, the drum sounds. the singers begin lo chant the birds commence their flight and the hunters go through the motions of spearing and shooting them with ,reir arrows. Their aim apparently h poor. and the birds fly out of reach A, length they grow weary. their flight is lower. the arrows of the hunters pierce them. More and ,noro feebly dutter the wings uf the dying birds tiii at length they drop duiver- ing. The drummer sounds final loud chord and the dance ceases ah ruptly.
 The songs during the dance ar,. partly in mockery of the poor mark manship of the hunters. and partly polite requests to the birds to allow themselves to be killed. to relieve the hunger of the village. The motions Vt the women dancers are particular " graceful and beautiful.
 At the conclusion of this dance the chiefs retire to their platform and the women rejoin their companions. The chief drummer removes his great drum. His place is taken ny six natives each supplied with common Eskimo drum.
 The four assistant chiefs step "ut on the floor. and at once begin the dance of "rhe driving out nf tho strangers"
 It is interesting to watch tho cx- pression on the faces of tho audience. throughout the dance.
 The customary dull apathy replaced hy the most lively interest and OK eitement. Not a single movement of the dancers is lost. and approval or disapproval are go plainly expressed. tbat those who run. may read. Their shoulders twitch as tho dance pro- gresses. the hands being often out stretched involuntarily. initiating the motions of the dancers.

Honesty In Congress.
From the Chicago News.

recently. among other things, that mo

est has any business in congress" So
he declined to become a candidate for
re-election.

tattve Charles M. Thomson, Of Chicago,
In a communication TO the voters Of his
district. II honest meE generally were
to act in accordance with the principle
adopted by he shrinking. Whitacre, Of
Ohio, Mr.. Thomson remarks. the people
would ave to look 70 an admittedly dis
honest body for it's laws, a body with
minds completely Bubservient to some
controlling interest" Such q condition Of
things the people would not tolerate.
On the contrary. rs Mr.. Thomson says,
mo man has any business in congress
unless he wants to be and Is intellect
ually honest" He points to the record OF
Representative Cooper, OF Wisconsin,
who has adhered to policies that he be-
Heved to be for the best interests Of all
during the 81 years he has been In con-
gress, despite The demands OF party ex-
pediency'' and similar eXactions. Though
the party bosses in Washington made
him suffer for his attitude, Cooper Is still

Maybe you saw the n about the
boy who carried the old woman's bas-

There was another one," the lad

Frurn the Cedar Rapids Republic

EEOID LuG SCA@A
David Brant punctures a venerable lie.
through the Iowa City Republican. a lie
that has been floating around In Iowa
politics for many years. 1t was recently
restated In a political letter Of wide pub
Ucation. The lie has to do with the re-
tirement of the judges of the supreme
court who passed upon the prohibitory
amendment, throwing 1t out on a consti-
%tutional technicanty.
It has generally been believed In poll
tics that the Judges who defeated the
amendment were all retired by the voters,
as fast as they came up for reelection.
Mr.. Brant who is. old enough to ave par
ticipated In those conventions says that
this is not true n he gives the follow
ing as the facts:
1.-THE members of the supreme court
who passed upon the amendment were
James G.. Day. chief justice; Joseph NJ.
Beck, VIM. Fl. Sewers, Austin Adams,
James II. Rothrock. Judge Day was a
candidate for a third nomination at the
convention Immediately following the de-
cision. He was opposed by Joseph r.
Reed of Council Bluffs. The writer was
q delegate to this convention from Linn
county for Judge Day. But the fact Is
that the decision helped Judge Day rath-
err than injured him. He was beaten be-
cause he lost practically an of his own
congressional district. which went to
Judge Reeds Judge Day was appointed
to I'll q varlncy md had been twice elect

ed. For some reason the attorneys gen.
orally were opposed to him. A glance at
the vote as cast by counties will show
that Judge Reed received the support OF
practically all the strong anti-prohibition
counties.
''The next year Judge Rothrock, who
had voted for the decision. was nomi-
mated by exclamation. The year follow;
ing 1885, Judge Beck, who had dissented
from the majority, was reelected. In
1887 Judge Austin Adams, of Dubuque.
was beaten by Judge Clifford c.. Robin
son, but the amendment decision was not
an issue. Judge Adams had rendered a
number Of decisions in which It was
claimed he had unduly emphasized the
rule OF contributory negligence. ATS case
was extensively discussed in the news
papers. and as he had the active oppost-
ton Of q number of newspaper includ-
ing the strong agricultural papers, and
many lawyers. he was beaten. William
H. Sewers was not a candidate for re-
election. Judge Rothrock remained upon
the bench until his death. Is years after
the decision"

WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR
SUPPLY OF WORLDS FOOD
STUFFS. ~

The present demand for foodstuffS
in all parts Of the world, and the ex-
pense of producing it on high-priced
lands, would make ii seem that west
ern Canada came into evidence at the
crucial period. There is to be found
the opportunity that will be a large
factor in meeting this demand. With
its millions of acres of land, easily
c~ultiVatable, highly productive, aces
sible to railways, and with unexcelled
climatic conditions, the opportunities
that are offered and afforded are too
great to be overlooked. d
There have been booms in almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such, and in the course
of time the bubble was pricked and
was burst. But in no country has the
development been as great nor as
rapid. whether in city or in country,
as in western Canada.
The provinces Of Manitoba, Sas-
katcheWan and Alberta have the larg-
est area OF desirable lands on the
North American continent, and their
cultivation has just begun.
Even with a two hundred million
bushel wheat crop, less than eight
per cent. Of the land is under the
ploughs, four per cent. being in wheat
Less than five years ago the wheat
crop was only 1000, 900 bushels. It
is a simple calculation to estimate
that If four per cent. of the available
c~ultivatable area produces something
oVer 200, OO0, 900 bushels, what will a
per cent. produce? And then look at
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 it was 49, 49.
10000 being from the United States;
in 1906 it was 189, 064, of which $1,000
were Americans, and in 1913 1t was
about 400, 900, of which about 140.0 600
were Americans. But why have they
gone to Canada? The American farm.
Ell Is a man Of shreWd business In
~stincts, just like his Canadian brother
and when he finds that he a sell his
own farm at from 500 to 5000 per
acre and move into Canada and home
stead and pre-empt half a section for
himself, and similarly for all his sons
who are adult and Of age upon lands
as rich and fertile as those he left,
and producing indeed several bushels
to the acre in c. of anything he
has eve known, IL will take mors
than an ordinary effort to prevent him
from making the change.
And then, too, there is the American
capital following the capital Of Drawn
muscle and sinew, following it so as
to keep in touch with the industrious
farmer with which it has had dealings
for years back. This capital and thu
capital of farming experience is no
small matter in the building up Of q
country.
Nothing is said Of the great mineral
and forest wealth, of which but little
has been touched.
No country in the worlds history
has attracted to its borders q larger
number of settlers ia so short a time,
or has attracted SO much wealth In a
period Of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions so favorable as those that
exist in western Canada today.-Ad-
VertiSement.
