RED" INFLUX

SHANGHAI, Jan. 13. (By MaiD -
Fear of Bolshevism entertained by
employers in Shanghai is factor
which is making more difficult the
hard lot of the hundreds of Russian
refugees who have been fleeing in in
creasing numbers out of Siberia into
China
The growing colony of these Rus
sian refugees, whose numbers swell
ed after the Siberian capital of Omsk
fell into the hands of the Bolsheviki,
has become a problem in the city of
Shanghai One handicap upon their
efforts to obtain employment has
been the reluctance of employers to
give work to persons from Siberia be-
lieved to have been exposed to the
Bolshevik infection.
Members of the colony here which
numbers several hundreds have es-
tablished school where English is
being taught to the newcomers. At
first one or two of the colony itself
acted as instructors. After few
weeks volunteer teachers came for
ward and classes are now being held
day and night in the shabby and
cramped quarters provided at No. 73
Range Road. Another undertaking in
the colony is community food kit
chen.
unwillingness on the part of many
of the Russian newcomers to recog
nize the Kolchak administration as
the government OF Russia has kept
many from registering at the Rus
sian consulate, which, it is stated,
can extend aid only to regularly reg
istered Russian citizens.

EXPLORERS Off
J. FOR bAFF|N
.a> LAND IN 1921

BOSTON, Feb. 14.-Secrets Of Baf-
lin Land, one of the portions OF the
Arctic still unexplored, will be the
objective of the Macmillan expedition
which is in preparation now for de-
parture in the summer Of 1921. Al
though the region was visited sever
al times before the Pilgrims crossed
the Atlantic to Cape Cod. Baffin Land
from the point of view Of explorers
and scientists is still one OF the rich
est and most alluring fields OF re-
ssaarch in the north. 6

ed that section Its flora and fauna
have never been studied; little is
known of the movements Of the tidal
currents along its shores; and facts
Of geology, mineralogy and meteorol-
0gy await the coming of scientific
observers. -.
The party headed by Donald Mac
MILAN, Peary's Lieutenant on the ex-
pedition that reached the North Pole,
plans to leave Boston about July 1.
1921, and to reach Baffin Land in
less than a month, with good luck.
The following winter will be spent on
the western shore in latitude SO. The
camp will probably be just south of
the entrance of the dangerous Fury
and Hecla strait where the ships Of
Captains Parry and Lyon, seekers OF
northwestern passage, were blocked
a century ago. That is $50 miles
north of the Arctic Circle and 700
miles south of Etah on the short Of
northwestern Greenland where Mac
Millan's Crockerland expedition pass
ed four winters.
During the winter attempts will be
made by dog teams to explore the
coast northward and in the following
summer the interior of the island will
be penetrated. The plans for the ex-
pedition call for an absence of two
years from this country. In case
longer stay is necessary, no relief
expedition will be sent, according to
present arrangements. If the ship is
crushed in the ice, the party plans to
retreat by dog teams to Fort Church
i'll, the trading post at the foot of
Hudson Bay and to return to civili-
zation by way of northwestern Can
ada.

WEALTH IN WEST
Canadian Farmers Confident Of
Record Grain Crop.
Boston Banker, Returning From Trip
Through the Country, Tells Of Rich
Yields Of Great Northwestern
Wheat Fields.

A Boston banker, desiring to re-
work, did what most bankers do. or
should do, took a holiday, away from
the confines of the city life. Canada
was in his mind. He would make the
trip, learn something Of the country,
breathe of its ozone and return ex-
hilarated both in mind and body. On
his return a few days ago, he told the
reporter of the Wall Street Journal of
the richness of the vast fields of gold
en- grain that he saw on his trip
through the Canadian West. Doubt
less he broke his journey into the
Canadian Rockies long enough to make
an inspection of them. Who could
help it, as from the car window were
to be seer miles and miles Of golden
stocks, ranged row upon row away
back to the lines of the horizon? He
nus have done so. for when he got
back to the Hub, he was filled with
enthusiasm owe his trip and what he
saw in Canada, and he had to get it
off his mind. 1t was revealed in this
way:
Canada is getting strong,
ing by leaps and bounds from the de-
preston caused by war. While unrest
and lack of cooperation seem TO be
holding things back on this side of
the border the Dominion to the north
faces an era of unprecedented activity
and prosperity. One of the basic
reasons for this brilliant comeback is

the rich yield Of the great northwest
- xx,hoof 6o1ISO

the rich yield Of the great northwest
ern wheat fields"
That the crops in Canada, both east
and west, are meeting the expectations
Of the farmers is a satisfying fact,
which gives a positive assurance OF a
yield that will mean millions OF dol
lars to the wealth of the country.
There will probably be as much as W
hundred million bushels of wheat to
export, giving an added wealth to the
country of nearly half a billion dol
lars. In all parts the crop yield
promises to be abundant, and with
favorable weather from now on there
may be expected a harvest that will
equal if not surpass that OF 1910. 1t
will doubtless be pleasing to the many
readers Of this paper to know that
the friends they have developing their
farms in this region Of big crops and
good prices will participate in this
wealth, and what will be more pleas
ing, is the knowledge of the fact that
the wealth in which they will partici-
pate from big prices for a
product produced from land purchased
at a cheap price.
Western Canada has never known
a failure in crops. There are districts
where partial failures have been, but
consideration should be given to the
fact that the country, that portion OF
it in which the present grain growing
lies, is from seven to eight hundred
miles in length by half that distance
in breadth.
Because one speaks of the wonder
full success of grain growing there,
there should not be lost sight of the
fact that this is only one item in the
wealth-producing possibilities. There
is cattle raising. with all the advan-
tages in every way that it possesses
anywhere; the dairying industry is as
Stunning remarkable proportions, and a
great deal of attention is given to the
development of this industry, which is

federal and provincial goyernments.-

CHAPTER ".

1 nau twice CTaVoTSeQ the cross lane
near McGowan's Pass tavern waiting
for Barbara Bradford. Although it
had been my intention to ride thither
I was amazed to learn OF applying at
two Of the stables near the park en-
trance to hire a horse that the few
they had there either were owned pri-
vately or had been already engaged.
There was nothing for me to do but
to go to my rendezvous on foot. l had
almost despaired of Miss Bradford's
coming when l spied her cantering
slowly along the lane, followed at a
decorous distance by a groom. She
was looking right and left and when
she saw MT her face frightened but
she rode a few steps past me with no
sign Of recognition. l was wondering
what to make of this new slight when
she suddenly refined in and allowed
the groom to come up with her.
James," l heard her say 70 the
groom, my head aches, and the rid
ing Is making it worse. Take the
horses back to the stable, and l will
walk the res of the way home"
Every well, Miss Bradford" he said,
touching his cap, as he assisted her
to alight.
She waited until he had vanished
and then fastened to the bench where
1 was seated, one l had purposely Sc
lected because it was half hidden by
a turn in the road and the branches
Of a wide-spreading tree.
She colored wildly as I rose to
greet her with outstretched hand.
"Oh, Mr.. Nelson" she cried, II don't

know what to do"
'The only thing to do" l suggested,
us to begin at the beginning and tell
me the whole story. I've sisters of my
own. Just pretend you are one of my
sisters and let me help YOU"
She looked at me thoughtfully,
studying me as II questioning wheth-
er or not l was to be trusted, and APP
parently deciding in the affirmative,
told me an amazing story.
Its all about my sister, Claire" she
began. "She's five years older than
I. She's a lovely girl, but she's-that
is. she used to be-impulsive, roman
tic. and headstrong. She and my
mother never got along well together,
and she was sem away to boarding
school. One winter, it was six years
ago, mother was in Europe and only
Dad and l were at home
She sighed sadly. Evidently her
words were bringing back to her mo-
ments of heartache.
ITO make a long story short. Claire
ran away from the school and mar
ried-married a French chauffeur en-
ployed by a family in the neighbor-
hood. She took me into her conf
dence a week later. and well, l told
dad. There was a terrible time about
1t all. Dad found out that her hus-
band was already married, had a wife
and child right here In this city. He
had the marriage annulled and man
aged to keep everything out Of the pa
pers. He threatened Claire's husband
with prison and made him 60 back to
France. Dad was simply wonderful.

escapade except ourselves. the prin-
cipal Of the school. and the Judge
