Somewhat Different Condition

The story of canadas s progress in the
 last two or three years differs in one jm- portant respect from the record of the achievements in the United States. Ap- parently in this country the limit of rail- way expansion has been for the present reached, not again to he passed over un- til after the financial condition of the
 American railroads and the attitude of legislation toward them has somewhat changed But in Canlda the public, as well as the government, has been encour- aging railway expansion and relatively speaking, there is no country in the world where rev hallway construction has been carried to such an extent as in the case in Canada.
 This construction, of course, is stimu- recently acquired of the natural resources of much of that part of British North America which was regarded a few years ago as containing no other resources than that of which the fur hunters had knowl- edge. and possibly timber. Yet the great timber countries were of no avail with out railway transportation Now the

The Panama Canal in Canada

In British North America, and especially upon the Pacific coast of the dominion, there seems to be an even better under standing of what the opening of the Pan anna canal to navigation is to mean for international trade than many people in the United States have. The lumbermen of British Norah America are preparing for very large exportation of lumber by way of the Panama canal to the United States Not many persons in the United States realize the magnitude of our com mercial relations with Canada, and it is only the foremost intellectual forces in business and commercial life of this coun- try and of Canada who seem to be able to look far into the future and see be- fore nsany years have passed commercial intercourse between the United States and Csnada which VII surpas ss the commercial intercourse between any other two na- tions of the world
 These business men believe that the time is not distant when the prophetic vision of the late Goldwin Smith is to become a fact Professor Smith was con fident especially in the last years of his life that while 1t was irconceivable that there shofld he any political union be- tween Cahada and the United States the dcnnica and this country were likely to Ibecome thoroughly well united so far as commerce. trace and other business re-

 The great men of affairs of Canada speak now with encouragement of tht promise of great activity in the do minion.

northwestern British North America rich deposits of gold, tributaries from the great lode which exists somewhere in the Alas kan peninsula But there are really more valuable mineral resources than gold In that paft of the country which are now waiting railway transportation Sir Thomas Shauglmessy is convinced that there are natural gas, mineral oil and coal in abundance in that region.
 What, however, is of immediate inter- est respecting the relations between the United States ana Canada is the presump- tive offering or considerable part of what is really a Canadian government
 loan in the American market. There are some reasons for suspecting that an un- derwriting syndicate has been, tentative ly at least, arranged to which will be committed that portion of these bonds which the anadian authorities will offer for sale in the United States. The trans action cannot be look ed upon in any other , light than the one which serves to show how rapidly and greatly the relations be- tween Canada and the Emitted States are advantageously progressing.

BASEBALL DOPE.
MiIIsrs Getting Usual Bad start, But
Look Good.

The 1914 baseball season was cp.n-.
ed in the Kansas State League at
Hutchinson last Friday, with Hutch
inson and Great Bend as the oppos-
ing teams, the game going to- the
home team by 5 too score. The
Millers are getting away to the same
start as for the past three years, los
ing thee first several games played,
which is habit Manager Wilson he's
the start Of each season, working his
men out slowly and paying more at
tention to finding the weak spots in
the opponents lineup than to winning
games. But he has a bunch Of young
fellows on his list that are going to
develop into real players with but a
little practice and In a few weeks the
team can be relied upon to be win
ming gemes with the regularity Of
former years. There IS not a mana
ger in the league who is the equal
Of Wilson in developing raw players,
and he can be counted on this year
to give the people Of Great Bend and
vicinity the same kind of a fast ag-
gregation that he has in the past,
and he has won three penants in sue
cession.
The second game on the Hutchin-
SON grounds also went to the home
team by score Of Is to 5, while the
Salt Packers also took the third,
shutting out the MIXERS with a 6 to
0 score.
Monday was an off day in the
league, and the season opened
here Tuesday with Great Bend and
Hutchinson again opposing. On &C.
count Of the cool weather there was
but a small attendance compared to
the opening games Of former years,
but those who attended got the fun
worth Of their money, the game being
one Of the best which has ever be n
played on the home grounds and end
ing with a score Of Ito 1 in favor
Of the visitors. 49,
Riley, the fast, hard-hitting pitcher,
Of last years team, was OH the
mound for the locals and pitched a
fine game, keeping the hits well scat.
tered and striking out eight 6f the
Salt Packers, and made the only
score annexed by the Miners BY hit
ting a home run I'M the ninth inning.
Hutchinson, however, played Just a
little too fast ball for the home team,
taking one score in the first and an
other in the third.
The second game Of the series, play
ed ON Wednesday,, was also won by
the Hutchinson boys, the score beng
z to 2. The Millers made 7 errors IN
this game. which was largely fespcn.
sdble for their defeat. Lillis, who was
ON the mound for the home team,
passed four men and also made three
wild pitches. ~
The Hutchinson team is now going
at its best, having been in good prac-
tce at the opening Of the season,
while the Great Band team was only
assembled about a week before
the first game, and the boys have
not got hned out In good shape yet.
Manager Wilson has already turned
some Of the players loose and has
signed others for their places and IN
a couple more weeks viii have a team
which win make all Of hte others hus
tie. I'd"
Emporia, Of this league, has also
been playing fast bail, having won
four out Of the five games with Sa-
lima. The standing Of the teams up
until Wednesday evening Is as fol-
lows:

 1t will be remembered that the chiI- dren have been quarantined for weeks on account of the outbreak of scarlet fever in the school early in the fall. All but II of the 54 children who have been i'll with the disease were not re- strtcted by quarantine regulations Christmas-that is, as far as going about the home is concerned-so most of them could participate to the limit in the doings of the day. And they did.
 A fine Christmas dinner was pro- vided for the children Chicken was served with all the vegetables and other things that go to make up a very bountiful holiday feast.

DRIVER MISSING.
Providence Poultry Dealer Thinks His
 Man Met Foul Play.

Chief George M. Filling of the local police has been asked to make a search for the driver of a poultry dealers wagon who disappeared Tuesday eve ming after coming from Providence to the William H. SayleS place at Elm vile for the purpose of making a big purchase of Christmas chickens.
 The missing mans employer, Nathan Kerkovitz, of Providence, seems to feel that his employe- has been the victim of foul play and this view is also taken by relatives of the man, whose name was not obtained by any person who has been in touch with the case.
 BeriSoVitz says that the man, in whom he places implicit trust. left Providence Tuesday to come to Elm vile for poultry. Berkowitz gave him $135 to pay for what he was to buy and the missing man is also known to have had $4 of his own on his per- son The man arrived at the Sayles place in Elmyille after a long drive from Providence late Tuesday after noon. He called at the SayIes farm, but no business was transacted owing to the >lateneSs of the hour and it
 was agreed that the Berkoyitz rig should be placed at the keegan stable in Elmville until Wednesday morning. Having stabled the horse, its driver boarded the APO car for DanieIson. Since then he has not been seen.
 The failure of Kerkovit1's agent to return to Providence with his load of poultry started the investigation to es- tablish his whereabouts, but up to Christmas night it had not been suc- cessfui. The missing man is de- scrihed as between 25 and 30 years of age stammers and has 8 glass eye Notwithstanding the seeming ease with which such a man might be traced no one in Dallielson interviewed by the officers about the matter re- members having seen him He did not go to either of the hotels nor to boarding houses where he might have sought a cheap lodging. Chief Filling is not at all convinced that the man has met with foul play although his employer and relatives insist this must be so. The man is married. has children, and. one theory Is that he has gone for a holiday visit with them.
