HOW TO ACQUIRE
 CANADIAN LAND
Dominion Government Has Plan for Supplying Free Information
 to Land Buyers

An undertaking that should prove Of interest to American holders of land in Canada. Of which there are quite a number in this vicinity. has been accomplished by tho Depart ment Of Che Interior at Ottawa. namely. Che listing of vacant lands for sale in Che Western provinces. together with particulars as Go the area suitable for cultivation. nature of Soil. price. terms, etc. The value of Che information contained in these lists lies m thc fact that it places thc intending purchaser di- rcctly in touch with those who. for one reason or another. have been un- able to cultivate their holdings and are. therefore, willing to dispose Of same at Inviting prices.
 The availability Of such land is not due to any lack of value. On Che contrary. particularly In Che prairie provinces. such idle land is rich vir- gin soil. When one considers Cam ada's vast area. however, and its comparatively small population it is at once apparent that large pro- portion of the acreage which Is in private ownership must be unoccu- pied and. therefore. available for purchase at reasonable prices. The lists have been published by districts and may be obtained free of charge upon application to Che Natural Re- sources Intelligence Branch, Depart ment of Che Interior, Ottawa

EXPRESS CLAIMS REDUCED
Local Employees Explain Right Way to
Handle Shipments

At the monthly Right Way" meet
ing of the officials and employees of
the American Railway Express COM
pany, held Wednesday night, all the
different phases of the proper han
ding of the business of the company
and the shipments which pass thru its
hands, were discussed.
c. C. Case. of Kansas City, district
claim agent, was the chief speaker
He described the manner in which the
Right Way campaign, which was
started in January, has reduced the
number of claims and urged that the
employees cling to the spirit of the
movement.
One year ago an average of sixty
claims day were being handled thru
Mr.. Cases office, and at the present
time the average is about fourteen a
day. Ten thousand dollars a month
was being paid in the settlement of
claims year ago and the present bill
for that item averages less than $4,000
a month.
L. A. Costello, settling clerk. spoke
on the proper handling of and COL
lection for c. o. D. shipments. E. R.
Dillman, depot agent at the Union
Pacific, spoke on safety First E.
c. Hardiner. ION Hand clerk. spoke
on the proper way of disposing of on
hand shipments, which are left on the
hands of the company because for
some reason they cannot be delivered.
One of the main features to reducing
the number of ION hands is to make
sure before package is accepted for
delivery that it is properly marked.
E. B. Ottinger, another employe, gave
some points on the proper delivery of
goods and shipments.
The meetings are held each month,
and are attended by all the local Off
Gals and employees who can be spared
from their work. Usually some Off
Gals from outside the local forces is
asked to speak on some particular
tomb
