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 1t on high-priced
lands, would make It 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
cultivatable, highly productive, aces
sible to railways, and with unexcelled
climatic conditions, the opportunities
that are offered and afforded are too
great to be overlooked.
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 100000 bushels. 1t
is a simple calculation to estimate
that II four per cent. of the available
cultivatable area produces something
over 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels, what will a.
per cent produce? And then look at
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 it was 1919,
$1,000 being from the United States;
in 1906 it was 1885, 64, Of which $1,000
we're Americans, and in 1913 it was
about 100000, of which about 100000
were Americans. But why have they
gone to Canada? The American farm
er is a man of shrewd business in
stincts, just like his Canadian brother,
and when he finds that he can sell his
own farm at from 800 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 excess of anything he
has ever known. Il will take more
than an ordinary effor. to prevent him
from making the change.
And then, too, there is the American
capital following the capital of Drawn,
muscle and sinew, following 1t so as
to keep in touch with the industrious
farmer with which 1t has had dealings
for years back. This capital and the
capital of farming experience is no
small matter in the building up Of a
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 larger
number of settlers in so short a time,
or has attracted so much wealth in
period Of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions 80 favorable as those that
exist in western Canada today.-Ad.

COLDS
Anup-to-date remedy for
colds. That is what Peruna
is. In successful use over
80 years.

Colds are caught in many
ways: lily ventilated rooms;
rooms that have direct draughts;
crowded rooms; damp houses;
stuffy school rooms; Offices lily
heated.
A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, Just
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener-
ally sufficient. But after the cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.

BOYS MEMORY IS
TO COME BACK
COMPLETE RESTORATION Ex-
PECTED IN CASE OF SMITH
CHILD WHO WAS RUN OVER
BY AUTOMOBILE.

Until a few days ago Judd Smith
the little son of Mr.. and Mrs. Roland
H. Smith, who was run over by an
automobile in Shoshone a month ago,
had shown no signs of regaining mem
ory, but reports came lately that he
had recalled occurrences that trans
pired before the accident. For a long
time his parents We're apprehensive
that although he would regain his
bodily health and strength, he might
have suffered injuries that would per-
manently impair his mind. They We're
greatly rejoiced when the little fellow
spoke of things to show that he was
to be restored to them not only in
bodily health but in mental growth
and development as well.
The reports received from the hos
pital say that it will be necessary that
he remain at the hospital for perhaps
month or six weeks longer. His
mother is with him there constantly.
The staff of the hospital has watched
with her and with the father with the
greatest anxiety for every favorable
symptom, the case being considered
one of the most remarkable in the his
tory of the institution as showing the
wonderful cures wrought by nature.
The patient was struck by the auto
mobile of Brown Bros. Robert Brown
being the driver. Judd is only six
years of age. He was badly lacerated
about the head, face and back. with
fractures Of the bones.

NEW PosToFFIcE MONEY ORDER.

A new style money order has been
adopted by the postofice department
and will be issued by the various post
offices as fast as the supply of old
style orders on hand is exhausted.
The new money order is much small
er than the old, particularly in width,
but at the same time contains more
reading matter relative to the condi--
tions under which the order is issued.
There is no apparent change in these
conditions, but the new order, in ad-
dition to the information contained in
the old, has a printed statement to the
effect that the order viii be redeemed
in any continental United States post
office except in Alaska within thirty
days. After thirty days the order is
good only at the office at which it
originated.

Istreaks of dawn crept in through the

me that this was the day I was to
leave my forest home and go out and

FAITHFUL DOG IS
PET OF TRAVELLERS
BROWNIE, STATION COLLIE AT
NAMPA, COMES TO VISIT SHO-
SHONE AND LOOKS OUT FOR
BAGGAGE HERE.

There are not many travellers over
the Short Line who do not have an
acquaintance with Brownie, the sta
ton collie dog at Nampa. Brownie is
now making friends at Shoshone,
having taken passage hither about a
week ago and is as busy as anybody
around the railroad station. He is an
old time friend of C. E. Gilbert, the
express agent, who used to jolly the
dog at Nampa.
Every baggage and express messen-
ger passing on the road has learned
to know Brownie and for a long time
it has been the practice of the friendly
animal to visit with them for a ride
now and then. One of these outings
was extended as far as Shoshone when
he fell in with one of his oldest and
best friends in Mr.. Gilbert. Brownie
inspects every piece of baggage that
arrives and generally rides with the
trunks and grips to and from the
trains taking a sort of proprietary
interest in that part of the railroad
business, and there is not mothers
son of all the railroad employees any
more faithful or in love with the
work than himself.

ON ELECTION DAY
FOR VOTING ARE
MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM
THOSE OF ANY ELECTION HELD
HERETOFORE.

The primary law has created a good
many changes with which the average
voter is not familiar, and it is a good
thing for him to post himself if he
has not already done so.
For instance. all the party tickets
are not on one sheet this primary
election, and the voter on entering
the booth must call for the ticket
OF his party, and he will get tnsl
ticket only. He can vote no scratched
ticket in the primary, and must ask
for the ticket of the party for which
he wishes to vote.
Each precinct must also elect its
member of the county central com
mittee of each party.
The polls will open at 10 o'clock in
the morning and remain open until 3
o'clock at night.
Anyone who voted at the last gen
eral election did not have to, register,
but anyone who failed to vote last
time and did not register while regis
tration was open will have to have a
freeholder OF qualified voter vouch
for him at the polls on election day.
Six months in the state and thirty
days in the county are required to
establish residence.

choice unless so desired. When you
