The Grain Growers Guide, of Win
nipeg Is a paper owned by farmers.
1t is the organ of several hundred
land owners and grain producers.
But 1t is not land SPECTATORS or
ganization. These men own lands for
the single purpose of making them
grow grain, They have as producers
no interest in the selling value of
lands. They would make just as
much money as they now do If their
lands were of only half the selling
value, or of no selling value at all.
So their paper, comparatively
owned, is a single-tax paper. 1t de-
clares for the full single tax as ad-
vocated by Henry George 1t would
like to see all taxes of every kind
abolished. save tax on land values.
1t would like to see every bit of
land speculation stopped and the
ownership of land confined to those
who make use of 1t productivity OF
for homes.
The selling price for their farms
would not go kiting into the hun
dreds of dollars per acre as ours have
done in the United States Their
farming would be real farming and
not speculation in farm lands mixed
with production.
In the main, they have sort of
single tax now. There are some tar
iff taxes and a few other imposts.
but in the main, taxes on farms In
Western Canada are based on land
values only. No farmer there is fined
by the assessor for improving.
1t is no longer as much of crime
there to build chicken coop as to
rob one.

Ida Lewis, the Grace Darling of

years ago today. She was every bit
as brave as her English prototype and
did as a matter of fact much more to
make her famous and yet most Amer
leans have heard of Grace Darling
and Ida Lewis is well-nigh forgotten.
At the age of fifteen she was living
in q lighthouse oft the shore of New
port, Rhode Island. Her father who
was keeper of the lighthouse had been
stricken with paralysis and in order
that he would not have to give up his
post the plucky Ida did a mans work
in rowing the boats and tending to
the light. She had to bring supple
from the shores every day and had to
take her younger sister and brothers
to school through the toughest
weather that ragged around the Rio e
Island lighthouse. Then one day
when she was seventeen the first
great opportunity of her life came. A
pleasure boat containing four young
men was upset by a careless sailor
and the young Ida hurried into her

life, saved the entire party.

1.-THE assessors report showing that
in two years land values in the cor
poration limits have leaped from
s45. 132, 005 to the enormous total OF
$120 sol ,558, an increase Of almost 200
per cent. In the past year an increase
of $18.540,643 is directly due 20 no other
cause than natural increase in land
values. Building development has
been no less phenomenal than the
growth OF land values, having grown
approximately 40 per cent. in singl6
year"
When building improvements grow
at the rate of only 40 per cent year
and land values at the rate of 200 per
cent. In two years. there is something
rotten in Calgary. So long as 1t pays
hundred per cent profit a year to
hold vacant lots, there Is no real sim
gle tax in Calgary. Exemption of I'M
provements cannot greatly stimulate
building under such conditions.
Calgary and Edmonton both. be-
lieve. pay for their permanent city
improvements out of city loans. II
they had single tax, these would be
paid from ground rents, and building
would grow at the rate Of 200 per cent,
In two years and land values would
not advance. This would end the vac
cant-lot industry.

. NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Why the Surveyors Put Curves in the New Haven Railroad

and Hartford Railroad Company l
found myself many times thinking
of that straight stretch of railroad
between Boston and Providence. For
the New Haven Railroad did not en-
counter any mountains, as the road
from Boston to Albany did or as did
the New York and New England.

or around three half-mountainous
groups. The New Haven Railroad
was built along the Long Island shore.
80 asked myself often how it
happened that the men who laid out
the SURVEY for this railroad from
New Haven to the Bronx river. in
New York, made so many curves.
1t seemed almost as though they de-
liberately so surveyed the line as to
include as MANY curves as possible.
I made up my mind that as soon as
possible I would straighten out these
curves and so relay the line as to
get as long and as good tangents as
possible.

curiouSly unnecessary curve in the
road between New Haven and

with those who surveyed the line
asked him il he knew why the sur
Veyors seemed to go almost out OF
their way to make curves when they
could even more easily have surveyed
so as to get a fairly good tangent
The man laughed and replied: why
Mr.. Clark, didn't you know what the
reason was? If you don't I'll tell you
Mr.. Bishop, who built the road, mad,
a bargain with the surveyors which
provided that they should be paid 81
much a mile for the survey. He die
not know as much about railroadinl
as his son, William D. Bishop, after
ward learned. OF course, if the sur
veyors were paid by the mile 1t wal

For example, we have been taught

would ever have thought that the sci

The Book Hungry.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The person who from childhood has
been accustomed to so to the public
library, or the nearest branch of it,
and to draw books free can have no
conception what 1t means to be crav-
ing for reading, to be book-hungry.
This precisely Is the condition, ac-
cording to the United States bureau
of education, of millions of children in
small villages and on farms through
out the country.
The pupils in the grammar and even
the higher schools In the rural dis
tricts have great difficulty In supple
menting their text books with out
side reading. The libraries of most
of the high schools in the country, it
is said, contain only a hundred or so
standard volumes.
The boy gets no opportunity to ac-
quaint himself with the political, So
cial and economic life of his day. This
deficiency of the country school the
United States bureau of education
now proposes to supply by throwing
open to the teachers of the rural
schools a great mass of government
publications that contain instructive
and interesting reading on vital sub
jects.

perish she went to his rescue and
brought him back to the lighthouse
to safety. The next winter two men
were crossing the harbor with boat
load of sheep, and just as they got
midway across they were hit by a
terrific gale, and would have persisted
If it had not been for the time'y as
sistance of Miss Lewis, who took them
in lifeless condition from their boat,
and having landed them safely at the
lighthouse went back and rescued the
boatload of sheep. By this time she
had quite reputation as a life saver.
But it was In 1869 that she did her
greatest piece of rescuing work. One
foggy day in that year two young
soldiers left Newport in a fog to sail
to Fort Adams. The sailboat had
just capsized when Miss Lewis's Wig
liant eye caught sight of it. 1t was
early morning, but she hurried out in
her lifeboat without waiting to put on
her shoes or her hat. The two soldiers
were unconscious when she rescued
them, but she speedily restored them
after she had taken them safely to
her lighthouse home. When Miss
Lewis died, in 1872 she had received
many medals and honors in token of
her extraordinary heroism, and her
name surely deserves to be remem-
bered as one of the bravest women
the country has ever produced.
