SPEAKS Up FOR CANADA
And No Misunderstanding His

Per Acre.

So many Americans now have per
sonal knowledge of Canada that false
reports concerning this country are
being continually corrected by Amer
leans themselves who know the facts.
and who are too fair-minded to let
false statement 60 unchallenged. A
case in point arises out of statement
supposed to be made by a resident of
Alberta. and published recently in the
Spokesman-Review. Of Spokane, in
which the condition Of settlers In this
country was painted in a very bad
way indeed. The writer of this at
tack on Canada refused to let his
name be known, so it can be taken
for what 1t is worth, but Mr.. 8. L.
Wallace, of N 4723 Crestline, Spokane,
who lived for some years in Western
Canada, came to the defense of the
country in the following letter which
was published In the Spokesman-Re-
view OF February IL, 1876
ITO the Editor OF the Spokesman-Re-
view:
'In Sundays Spokesman Review was
letter from a man in Alberta to the
chamber of commerce, asking that
something be done to keep Americans
from going to Canada, and saying that
that government was run by the rail-
roads, banks and manufacturers: that
once a man got there he never could
get away. Had this man published
that letter over his own signature
there is no doubt but he could get out
of Canada.
No country will do as much to help
a man to get on his feet, II he tries to
help himself, as Canada. know of
the government helping people to pro-
visions, feed, seed grain and fuel, and
charging only cost of delivery to the
nearest town and 6 per cent. What
more could man ask?
I lived five years in Southern Sas-
katchewan and earned a patent to 800
acres of as good land as / ever saw.

on sod, 40 bushels of wheat, and 90

health never was better satisfied any
where. had my land rented this last
year for one-third. 1t brought me al
most $3.50 per acre, or $1,143.91 for
1856 acres.
This man says he loves the land his
fathers died for. So do !, and love
the land that gave me my home.

TINE song sparrow is the true her
i aid OF the spring. notwithstand-
ing the fact that the robin and
bluebird have that honor OF men.
The song sparrow is the singer OF
the year. Neither winter cold nor
summer heat has power to check his
tuneful desires. In the February fields
when the snow still lies banked deep
against the combining fences the song
sparrow voices the promise of spring
before the robin and the bluebird dare.
In August, when every other bird
voice Is stilled and the earth Is baked
and the green is parched. the song
sparrow sings Of coming autumn rains.
In no month of the year Is he wholly
silent, and though storm and hunger
may force him to long journeys he has
a song ready for each new resting
place. The search for a sweet and
perfect optimism ends with the song
sparrow.
The bird is nothing to the we and
everything to the ear. He dresses In
drabs and browns with streakings of
black and bay and ash, with white
enough below to make prominent and
Identifying brown patch on the
breast.
The song sparrow gave the frost
bound pilgrims OF the Plymouth col
ony the first syllabled hope that some
where beyond the awful winter lay the
spring. He has been giving the same
word of hope to every northern farm
ing household for nearly three centa.
