The spotlight OF politics has shift
ed to new figure. The man on
whom 1t now rests is Henry D. Esta-
brook, OF New York and Nebraska.
The story Of American possibilities,
political observers are saying, is told
In Estabrook. A year ago he was

rapidly gaining speed.
Estabrook first attracted national
attention when he stumped the Mid.
die West for Mckinley in 1896. Then
he dropped out Of sight for time.
He is now again in the public eye as
a result of series of brilliant
speeches in which he has proclaimed
the doctrine of protection, prepar-
edness and prosperity" Business
and commercial organizations in
every section Of the country have
listened to this doctrine. liked 1t and
called for more.
Adivces received in Washington
are to the effect that sentiment is
growing for Estabrook. Already
Estabrook headquarters have been
established in Omaha, and his friends
are confident that he will find the
Nebraska delegation.
Tall. square-shouldered and square
5awed, this new political figure is a
man about sixty years Of age. He
\ achieved prominence in the practice
1ot law in Omaha, was later well
known in Chicago legal circles and
now is a leader of the New York
bar.
This new figure. which promises to
have an influential following at tho
next national Republican convention,
is described as plain American.

animals and birds. He is an out
door man, democratic, and a great
student. While some OF his friends
have classified him as a progressive
Republican. he says 81 am Re-
publican without any qualifying ad-
jectives."
Mr.. Estabrook was the first among
those recognized as Republican
presidential candidates to outline q
concrete program OF national de-
Tense. He has declared himself for
navy as big as any in the world,
standing army Of 10000 to 1000
with reserve of ten times that
number, military training for the
youth of the land and creation of
a merchant marine. He did this be-
fore the American Bankers Associa-
ton, at Seattle. Immediately there
after the bankers adopted resolu-
tion endorsing his program.
He believes that military training,
diffused by all schools and colleges
would be great thing for the
nation.
II should advocate discipline
that went beyond a volunteer militia
and this for several reasons that
grow out of my own observations"
said Mr.. Estabrook in illustrating
his point.
THE only political office l ever
held in my life. was that of a regent
OF the Nebraska University. Part
Of our revenues came through the,
Morrill, act, under which, also. the
government furnished US a West

time this young officer happened to

appraisers sometimes with perfect
honesty quote land values far great
er than they should be-not greater
than they appear to be at the time
Of appraisal, but greater than they
should be. II. by a lot Of enthus-

ened city pride-combined with an
eye to the profits-you can get
enough men in city to believe that
land ts going to rapidly increase in
value, series OF sales will follow

a temporary, inflated market value is
established which bears no true rela-

admitted assets Of all American life
insurance companies In 1904 amounts

total assets to 34.5 per cent. More

les are therefore invested In real es-
tate mortgages and. as American life
insurance companies have at the pre-
sent time about seven hundred mil

THE GROWTH OF
WESTERN CANADA
Increase in Railway Mileage,
School Attendance and
Population.

Some idea of the extent of railway
construction in Western Canada can
be derived from the fact that the rail-
way mileage in the Province of Al
berta has been doubled in three years.
The present mileage is 4,097 In all
OF the settled districts there is ample
railway privileges. The rates are gov
erned by Dominion Railway Commits
sion, and in the exercise Of their pow
ers they not only control the rates,
giving fair equality to both railway
and shipper, but form a court to hear
complaints of any who may desire to
lodge the same.
In the matter OF education no better
instance of the advancement that is
taking place can be given than that
found in the information to hand that
attendance at the University of AL.
berta has increased 1000 per cent in
five years. and is now thoroughly rep
resentative of all settled portions OF
the Province. The students In attend
ance are from sixty-one distinct dis
tricts.
Then as to the prosperity which fol-
lows residence in Western Canada, J.
e. Edward of Blackie, Alta. gives
splendid testimony. He writes, in
the spring of 1907 first came to this
locality from the State OF Iowa, Cass
County, and located on a quarter sec
ton of land near Blackie. Since CON-
ing here have been engaged in mixed
farming, which 1 have found to be
more profitable than where formerly
lived On coming here my worldly
holdings were small besides having
family to care for. now own three
quarter sections. sixty head OF cattle,
twenty head of horses and forty head
of hogs, without encumbrance.
During the seven years have not
had crop fail. My best crop of oats
averaged ninety bushels per acre, with
general yield of thirty-five bushels
and upward My best wheat crop aver
aged forty-three bushels per acre.
When / have had smaller yields per
acre / have found that 1t has been
due to improper Sltivation. The win
tiers here, although at times the wealth
er is cold, find as whole are very
agreeable. The summers are warm,
but not sultry. The summer nights
are cool and one is always assured OF
a good nights rest. My health has
been much better, as I do not suffer
from catarrh since coming here. I
have no land for sale, and am not
wishing to make any change, but
would be pleased to answer any en-
quiries concerning this locality. "--Ad-

KAISER GIVES PEACE TERMS.
Dutch Envoy Arrives in Washington

OF Queen Wilhelmina OF the Neither

He came to Washington on Friday
equipped with the peace terms of Ger
many, which that country has been
publishing to the world for months. as
follows:
Evacuation Of Belgium and North
ern France.
Reconstruction Of the kingdom OF
Poland.
Freedom Of the seas.

SO far as Official action is concerned
It is not believed here that President

since he has received no official com

peace on the terms stated.
