son has a wager up with the Glendale
Stock Association that Teddy can
carry him from Minnesota to San
Francisco in less than the time stated.
II he wins he will receive 500 for his
own efforts and the Stock Association
will buy the pony at the price Of $1,000.

We commend the work of our illus
trious and high minded Congressman,

A. Johnson.
We renew our fealty to the Demo-
cracy of the state and nation and call
upon all good citizens to support it's

SALT WATER MORE BU0YANT
Considerable Difference Between the
Fresh Liquid Of the Rivers and
That of the Oceans.

A Chinese lad dropped his ball In
narrow hole and could not get it out,
according to a writer in the Illustrated
Sunday Magazine. So he poured wa
ter in the hole, thinking that he would
float the ball to the surface. AS the
ball was slightly heavier than water,
it remained on the bottom. Then he
thought of mixing salt with the water.
as he knew that salt water would float
denser objects than fresh. This he
did, and was rewarded with the float
ing ball.
This particular fact Is demonstrated
at the mouths of rivers. Objects roll
ing along the bottom of fresh river,
too heavy to come to the top, will rise
when they are carried out to sea. The
general rule also applies to floating
bodies For instance, a ship with
cargo on the sea will sink sometimes
foot on entering a fresh water port.
On the other hand, IL she leaves a
fresh water port with her cargo, she
will rise when entering the ocean. SO
ship may be loaded apparently too
much at a wharf and still be all right
on the waves.
In building a dam the fact that salt
water is heavier than fresh must
be taken into consideration, and the
dam for the same head must be good
deal stronger; this too without taking
into consideration the beating OF
waves, etc.

CANADA'S PLACE
AS A PRODUCER
Canada Is Getting a Great Many
Americans.

Three young provinces, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, and Alberta" says 3
New York financial journal, have al
ready made Winnipeg one of the great
est primary wheat markets of the
world. In 1904 they raised 5S,0OO,OOO
bushels of wheat. Five years later
they produced 150,000,000 bushels. In
1913 the crop Appropriated 100000
600 bushels. At the present rate or
progress Canada must soon pass
France and India, and stand third In
the line of wheat producers. Ulti-
mately 1t will dispute with Russia and
the United States for the first position.
Wheat has been the pioneer Of our
development Undoubtedly it will
prove the same with Canada. In the
last calendar year our trade with Can
ada amounted to 497 million dollars.
Only with two countries-the United
Kingdom and Germany-is our trade
greater. No vivid imagination is
needed to see what the future devel-
opment of Canada means to the
people of the United States.
The influx of American settlers to
the Canadian prairies is now in full
swing. Within the past few days
over so of those arrived at Bassano
carrying with them effects and capital
to the value of 100000. Fifty settlers
from Oregon arrived in Alberta few
days ago; while Is families of settlers
from the state of Colorado arrived at
Calgary on their journey northwards.
The goods and personal effects of this
party filled 20 box cars. OF live stock
alone they had It's horses, Is cows
and 1000 head of poultry. Another
class of settler has arrived at Peers,
ITO miles west of Edmonton, where no
fewer than 200 German farmers have
taken up land. These are from good
farming families and brought with
them a large amount of capital.
Then in South Western Saskatche-
wan, there are large numbers settling,
these from the United States predomi-
mating, while In the northern and GEN.
trail portions of all these provinces,
the settlement of new people is going
on steadily. Early in April, Peter
GoertZ arrived in Cardiff after a six
day journey from Mcpherson, Kansas.
Mr.. Goertz who had purchased land
here was in charge of party Of SS
people from the same part of Kansas
and they came through with special
train which included all their stock
and implements. The equipment was
all Rock Island cars, and was the first
full immigrant train ever sent out by
that railroad. The farms purchased
by the members of the party are
amongst the best in the district.

HIS old SWEETHEART
BY FRANK FlLSON.

Uncle Eustace seemed to be as old
as the hills. He was about forty-five,
| suppose, but to boy of twelve that
is an immense age. He was very
ruddy, very gray and very clean-look-
ing, and slow and deliberate in all his
movements. He used to come to spend
a week with us three or four times a
year. Uncle Eustace was papa's
brother.
Poor old Eustace," papa used to
say, after he was gone, and there was
a sort of affectionate contempt in his
voice. He'll never amount to any
thing"
Il don't know, my DEAR" answered
mother. He's getting along very
nicely now as bookkeeper for the
Stearns-Rabbit company"
Twenty dollars a week as book
keeper" answered papa, in contempt.
But, my dear, many respectable
people only earn twenty dollars a
week. You mustn't think everybody
can be like you, entering brokers'

salary of fifteen thousand at forty"
