THE GAZETTE, OLDS, ALBERTA. OPENING UP NEW LAND WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING AMERICAN FARMERS Charles Melville Hays, of the Grand Trunk Pacific, Gives an Interview in Chicago, and Talks of the Pros- pects-of the West Americans Who Come to Canada Are .Here to Stay. : Chieago. Charles Melville Hays, se- cond vice-president and general man- ager of the Grand Trunk railway fys- tem, came to Chicago the other day, and gave a long account of his opin- ions on. the Canadian northwest, and other things, through his private sec- retary, Mr. Falloway: i, What significance do you see In the opening of a great tract of farming country in the Canadian northwest? Why, it opens a great new land for agriculture. Nearly all the district bordering our new road from Winni- g, Manitoba, to Prince Rupert, Brit- th Columbia, is undulating plain. It is to some extent grazing land, but rincipally it is sown .with wheat. undreds of people are pouring. into this country every year, and it is be- ing settled rapidly. A great many Americans among the immi- grants. os . Do you think these Americans in- tend to stay permanently in Canada? Well, they may think they will go back to the United States after they have made a bunch of money, but at the end of eight or ten years they will find they are content to stay where they are. The laws of Canada are similar to those of the United States. It does not make much difference which country you live ine. Do you think it is something new for Americans to emigrate? Ts it not generally.conceded that there are plen- a of opportunities for . everyone in is country? ae Yes, But I think these men who have gone up in Canada are sons of joneers Americans who took farm are opened first, Canadian lands are simi- lar to-your,own Minnesota and Dako- tas, and the. young men remembering what their fathers. did, are eager to go up there and strike out in the same way for themselves. They are men who are able and willing to rough -tt, to hew out their own homes, and be- gin to gain their livelihood: from soil which has never known the plow. - What do you people think of Chi- cago uy there? Well, -I don t. believe I ever heard any one mention Chicago. Supt. Niblock Retires . Calgary; Alta J. Niblock, district superintendent. of the C. P. R. at Cal- ae has retired after 30 years service with that company, and will be suc- ceeded in that office by C. 8: Maharg, who is the present district superin- tendent at Medicine Hat. J. F.

Calgary. T. N. Webster, eommis- sioner in charge of the Alberta exhibit at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle, hag returned after an ab- sence of five months at the Coast. Mr. Webster was the proud bearer of the two handsome banners, which were won by the exhibit of Alberta s agricututal resources at the big fair, and whieh were pronounced by every visitor to the fair tu be easily the best display of its kind made there. The banners are each of purple silk, ex- quisitely designed, and. of excellent workmanship. One of them is in- scribed in gold letters, Alberta, Can- ada, awarded gold. medal agricultural resources. n centre is the stamp of the A. Y. P. exhibition asso- ciation, Seattle, 1900, on either side of which is painted fac similie of the totem poles which -were dis: ed at the exhibition, The other b is similar to the first with the exeep- tion that the word silver .is substi- tuted for gold and. was awarded for installation and design of the exhibit. Mr. Webster: sta that so. much had been said and written about the big exhibition of the Canadian exhibit land of the Alberta exhibit in particu- lar; that it would be, almost impossible for him tc add to it, anything. that would be new. He was proud, how- ever, of the exhibit of which he was in charge and of the way it was ad- mired by the thousands of visitors. However, now that the exhibiti i a thing of the past.and all possible honors have been won, he- ad to be back again to Calgary and to breathe again the fresh invigorating prairie air. Other cities may be larger than Calgary, he said, but there is none of them that are making more substantial progress -and in none of ey is business on.a more substantial is. Members of London Stock Exchange Enthusiastic Over Possibilities of This Part of Canada Winnipeg. We will lose no op tunity of telling our friends in Eni land of the great opportunities for in- vestment in Canada. They are un- r- With those ideas firmly impressed in their minds and glowing with. en- thusiasm over the worderful develop- ment and prosperity of Canada, Allan T. Neville and H. W. Birks, two mem- bers of the London Stock Exchange are returning to England from a trip through the Dominion: We arg both convinced more than ever of the unlimited chances for in- vestment of capital here, and when we were in the west you may be sure that we let no opportunity pass us. Mr. Birks was in Canada eleven years aga today, and he says that the progress and development is marvel- ous. T cannot express: it in words, said he, but it seems like a great transformation scene from a theatre- Everything seems so different. Winni- peg is now.a city of solid. business houses, which indicates: good methods and from what I have seen the busi- ness men of Canada are of the best kind. The cities of the west seem to have great futures before them, and the values of property which are supposed to. be very high at the present time are not too high. The. properties, are not .over valued. ; British capital, said Mr. Neville, hitherto has been spent mostly. in astern Canada, and. has not found its way out west so much, but as soon as the marvellous: opportunities are known, money will follow in very large quantities. Britain and States Honor Canadian London. At the opening of the win- ter session of the London School of Tropical Medicine, when Prof. William Osler delivered an address on the na- tion and the tropics, Whitelaw Reid, U. 8. ambassador, . who .was in the chair, in introducing the lecturer, said that he was.a very excellent example of what the United States could-do with a Canadian when she caught him young. McGill university brought him into. some prominence, but he reached the climax of his fame at Johns Hop- kins university. Dr. Osler explained what science has done for the empire andfor civi- lization: and the enormcas possibili- Labor Men Do Not Fear Imprisonment CORRE, s , a ETS, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, of the American Federation of Labor, who were sentenced by Justice Wright ties which are still open to her.

Premier in said that the Austra- lian naval -proposals included a. pro- vision for the interchanging of ship s crews with those. of. the Imperial mavy, cruisers to be sent them, It was thought desirable not only for at tachment to other units, but also to sections of the Imperial fleet itself, they being replaced in the meantime py.

The immigration Of Koreans. to Siberia has reached such proportions since the Japanese occupa- tion of Korea that the government has resorted to the necessity of deportation in order to preserve the land for Rus- - sian settlers. The Koreans. in Siberia have now applied to the Duma setting forth the unhappiness of their lot if, they are compelled te return to Korea. Guggenheims in 2,000,000 Deal Vanconver. Guggenheim interests -are said to have obtained control of the Western Fuel Company which owns 42,000 acres of coal and timber lands near Nanaimo on Vancouver Is- land. The deal, which was ior 2,000,- 000, includes the mine at Nanaimo. Investigate Divorce Conditions London. The King has appointed a royal commission to inquire into the divorce laws, especially as they affect the sses, whd, on account of the cost, are shut out of the divorce laws, mwealth, owing to the geographical . He says the suggested capital of ven- p system has been practically exhausted so great has been the ex- enditure on new lines for this year. his information was given by Hon. Wi H. Cushing, minister of: public works. Asked for: particulars as to what has been undertaken, Mr. Cush- Hd said that.on rural lines construct- d to date, 500 miles have been com- pleted, radiating out from. the various points in the province. This has given telephone. connection to 500 farmers direct to. their residences. If th weather continues fine for another month or six. weeks it is expected that another 200 miles of the rural phones up. 200. will be completed. the court sustains free speech, and free press, it will be the perpetuation of the principle, for all. time to come, in America. In the other event, that is, the refusal to sustain labor s ap- peal, it will beyond doubt inaugurate a movement that will shave for its ex- plicit purpose the re-establishment the re-emphasis of the right secured by magna charter and embodied as the first amendment to the constitution: of the United States. . : : - Naval Policy May Lead to Divisions Ottawa, Ont. The advance quota of itici: who have been in the-city looking up quarters for the session, have not hesitated to express the opin- ion that there will -be interesting de- :velopments on naval questions and in both parties at that. To begin with, the Liberal majority is not a unit: There is a very considerable wing. of the party who characterize the Cana- dian navy as a.toy navy and. who favor direct cash contribution. Then there-are those who will stand by the government in any proposal it makes, while some are said to be opposed to any action at all. The somewhat sim- ilar condition as .to form of contribu- .tion obtains among the opposition. The situation which seems to be de- veloping affects both parties, each of which would seem to. be, to some ex- tent at least,. divided in. its own councils. - oe : Powers: Will Keep George on Throne London. It has been said in some of. the Berlin newspapers that Great Britain, France, Russia and . Italy have notified: the military league in Athens that if it tries-to oust the gov- ernment forcibly they will intervene, being opposed to any action aiming to overthrow the dynasty. Another state- ment-is to the effect that Turkey is prepared to join the other powers to protect the Greek throne. The state- ments: are discredited in official quar- ters in Berlin, but they attract general attention and there is some reason for believing that.the individual countries have warned the anti-dynasts that they will-get the cold shoulder if they me ddle with the crown. : Pole May Be Prize of Our Own Bernier Ottawa. The estimates. for the ma- rine department now before the gov- ernment, are said. to contain a. sub- stantial appropriation for the projected pees trip of Captain Bernier, which ir Wilfrid Laurier announced recent- ly. The start will be made about: the middle of June from Quebec, and the Arctic again will be. pressed into ser- vice. expedition will befor general reseaich, and to establish Can- Ladian authority on the two northern islands that Cook and Peary reported. If proofs of those explorers in support of their claims, of having reached the pole are not regarded as satisfactory, it is not improbabe that Canadians will make a dash for that destination. Wil Follow Out Prince. Ito s Policy Tokio. In an interview published in the Kohumin Shimbun, Pre fnier Kat- sura asserts that he will try to carry into effect Prince. Ito plan for.a higher civilization, and tHus finish his work. The Constitutionalists, says the premier, will adhere to their world peace policy and amplify the imperial Progressive programme. Katsura emphasizes the point that as long as he is in er he will not depart from Prince Ito s fundamental principles, but will justify the slain statesman s confidence in him to the satisfaction of the emperor. The Koku- min. Shimbun does not believe that Prince Ito s death will affect. Japanese policy, and ridicules the fear that the militarists will gain the upper hand. In. Honor of Columbus Rome. A. monster. petition from the North American colonies praying for the Canonization -of Christopher Co- lumbus was presented to the pope. The petition. had a quarter of a mil- lion signatures.

Wild Man at Summit Creek - ee ee ene Nelson, B.C. A wild man is occas- ionally seen by miners in the neigh- borhood of Summit Creek in the Cres- ton district. He is generally discern- ed travelling on his hands and knees, but when he sees strangers he dashes away into the timber. e is believed to be a crazy Hindoo, and an effort will be made to capture him before winter. Plenty of Money to Finance Crop Ottawa. At the department of fi- nance it is stated that the Canadian banks will not find it necessary to is- sue much emergency currency in order to finance the handling of this year s large crop. One or two banks may is- sue small amounts of additional cur- rency under Hon. Mr, Fielding s. act, but the total issue will not run into large figures. Ship Building Canards London. The: correspondent of the Financial News describes the recent messages from Canada concerning a ship building enterprise in the Domin- ion as canards and says that Herland and Wolff will do nothing until their representative returns and rts. Another Office for Judge Lovett. New. York. Robert 8. Lovett was elected president of the Southern Pa- fic company to succeed the late E. H. Harriman. Wm.

That there is no talk of doing away with the Royal Northwest Mounted Police force because the need lately than ever before, was the view expres by Comptroller White of Ottawa. The force now registers about 680 men, which is 20 short of the limit allowed ,by the Government grant, al- though the enlistment quite often fluctuates above and below the limit. When asked concerning the-n the mounted policemen in this day of advanced civilization, the comptroler stated that there was as present more need of,such a force than ever before. With such masses of cosmopolitan population drifting into the country, there are more disputes and crimes to settle than ever before, and it is only by means. of such a force as this one, phat DAGy controversies .can be set- tled. In-regard-to the report that. the headquarters would be moved to Wat- rous, the comptroller stated that the barracks and the adjoining property was too. valuable an investment for them to think of transferring the sta- tion to watrous. Furthermore Wat- tion to Watrous..

Wetmore, secretary of the Wetaskiwin district of the United Farmers of Alberta, which is the see of the, Alberta Farmers Association and Canadian Society of Equity, was in the city re- eently. - E Since those two societies. joined hands the U. F. A. has been very suc- cessful and ia doing good work all along the line. The north country is ell organized and next. year special eflorts will be made.in the south part of the province. The 2al convention has just been decided upon. and will take place in Edmonton on January 19, 20 and. 21. The membership this year has rapidly increased and the U. F..A. is now the largest farmers organization in the west. : During the past three months large petitions have been signed and are still being circulated, for government ow hip of the terminal elevators. This petition will be forwarded. to the House of Commons at: their next ses- sion. 4 gi : The chief question to b considered in Edmonton will be the government ownership of a packing plant. For this purpose the members of the govern- Lment, have been invited to attend the convention to discuss this all import- ant question. - ss A notable feature of this year s work has been the organizing of several co- operative associations in certain dis- tricts. These associations are worked gemething similar. to an exchange.. armers bring their produce and stock to these associations for disposal. So far these exchanges have been in the shape of experiments, but the farmers are confident that if worked on a busi- ness basis they will be a success and, a great benefit to the farmers. To Start This Year eink Edmonton, Alta. We will let the contract for the construction of the first 50 miles of the Alberta and Great Waterways railway within. a couple of weeks, and if the: present favorable pect. to do considerable .construction yet this year. . This was the announcement made b Wm. R. Clarke, president of the Al- berta and Great aterways railway, who returned from a trip to Winnipeg. The entire right-of-way to Fort Me- Murray will be cleared this winter, said he, and a party of surveyors will be kept in. the field until'the location is completed. We expect to let con- tracts for our rails and our ties very shortly. The ties will all be taken out this winter and distributed along the tight, of way. Our rails will also be shipped this winter. In Two Years Will Fly Across Ocean New. York. Count Zeppelin. will fly in his great airship from France to New York within two years, accordi: to a statement he made to Otto F Kahn, a member of the banking firm of Kuhn Loeb company, who arriv- ed here the other day from an automo- bile tour of Europe, on the Cunard liner Mauretania.

Discussing the governor generalship, the Herald says: t A Canadian of position and influ- ence, who recently returned from Eng- land, says it is not improbable that Lord Morley will be the choice of the goverment for the position of gover- nor-general of Canada, when Earl Grey s term in office expires. A despatch from London received here, quoted the Times as authority for the statement that the government has decided to offer the position to a mem- ber of the. cabinet. ferred:to, who will not consent to be reels ee on the subject, seve that Lor orley is the member of t cabinet referred to. ( Tt is not unlikely, he says, that Lord Morley. will accept the position, as it is both honorable, dignified and congenial. His administration of the India office is not only brilliant, but has been marked by more far-reaching reforms than that of any minister since the mutiny. The appointment of Lord Morley would in a sense be a new departure for sithongi aie have been governors-general of great capa- city and brilliant attainments, there have been none of high literary. dis- tinction. .Were he to accept the. posi- tion the British crown would be repre- sented by a distinguished man of let- ters on both sides of the line in this ontinent. - Laurier Advises Great Britain Montreal. Sir Wilfrid. Laurier speaking bef re the women s elub out- lined the leading principles of British and A i ituti pr ti a comparison between the two.. The pecs outlined the history of the ritish. constitution and dwelt upon the spirit of liberty which the British had always possessed to an extent un- equalled by any. other race. Sir Wil- frid said one point in which the American. constitution was superior to the British was that the American was a federated union, while the. British was legislative union. * eae: - Tt geems astonishing to me, he said, that Gladstone did not hit on the federated principle, which I be- lieve is the remedy for the-Irish ques- tion. The Imperial parliament ought -not.to have its progress impeded by discussing such petty details as roads, ditches or a piece of bog in. Ireland, but. perhaps some day -we. shall see the federation principle applied in a new form of the constitution for the British Empire, for experience has shown that the federation principle is a powerful instrument for unity, de- spite ethnological and geographical divisions. ; s : Canada Is Not.a Pinal baicny Now Ottawa. The report of Lord Strath- cona, high commissioner for Canada, has been issued by the interior depart- ment. It deals with emigration work much upon the same lines.as the re- port of Mr. Edward Smith, published some. weeks .ago.

Detroit. A special despatch trom Washington says: The United States is not. going to have a tariff war with Canade. The fact hag nof yet, official Ay an- nounced, and it. will not be until after the president returns to Washington, but it is a fact nevertheless. Tt has required but brief serutiny of the possibilities of such a. war to gcar the administration. Canada is the very best single cus- tomer, population considered, which exporters of the. United States have. It. would be in a position to make so much trouble in such an event that it. would have a disastrous effect on- any party in the United States fostering a war. This has become plain, and therefore the tariff commission has been instructed to find a way to obvi- ate trouble. It is understood that it , and that it will. report to the resident. in due time that Canada joes not discriminate against the United States in the manner that calls for the imposition of maximum. rates on. imports from the Dominion: Of course.it is a fact that Canada does discriminate against the United States to a certain extent, and that the new tariff law was drawn in a way to enable the United States to hand out. punishment for it:.. In fact it looks as if the law amoun to a mandatory order to do so, but it appears that the adininistration is to e advantage of the fact that the president is really the sole judge of what is discrimina- tion. Where it will cause trouble to judge-in a certain way he can obviate by simply judging in another way. In doing so he can take the glory, if there is any, while the tariff commission can take the blame, if there is any. It is declared that it will work fine, which is doubtless true, at any rate, it will save the administration from having: to meet the charge of having crippled the. trade of the country with Canada, a charge which might Jose the-R publi- cans tne house at the n xt election if the crippling proved to be severe. Western Canada Attracting Attention Ottawa. Canada s farm and wheat lands and western townsites were the enief topics of .conversation among the people of the states of Washington, Oregon and Catifornia, who visited our exhibit at the Alaska-Yukon exhibi- tion, said Wm. Hutchinson, x-M.P., a Dominion exhibition commissioner, who has returned from Seattle. bhere are a great. many people there living. on fruit farms, he con- tinued, wno with families of. boys and only ten or twenty acres of fruit land, are turning their attention to our. western wheat fields. We had people come to us in June with in- quiries, many of whom returned again in September to tell us that they nad been to Canada and invested in either. townsites.or farm lands.

The Belgrade correspond- ent of the Telegraph says that Abdul Hamid, the deposed Sultan of Turkey, attempted. to escape from his villa prison at Salonika. He had a work- man brought to do certain repairs. He professed to be annoyed at the man s. dirty appearance and ordered him to take a bath before he did the work. While the man was bathing his clothes were taken to Abdul Hamid, who donned them and passed from the gar- den into the street. There he was re- cognized by one of his guards and taken back.- The workman has been puceved as.an accomplice of the ex- . . End of Famous Steamer Liverpool.

Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 7, 1909. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Acts xxvii, 39, to xxviii, 10 Memory Verses, xxviii, 9, 10 Golden Text, Ps. xxxiv, 22 Com- .. mentary by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Oue night as they took soundings they found the depth of water grow- ing lees, and, fearing lest. they should be cast upon the rocks, they cast four anchors out of the steru aud longed for the morning. As the sallors were about to make off with the buat under pretense of casting apchors out of the foresbip Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved (31. Some may say, Bur-bad pot Paul assured them that all-would be saved? So we learn that, while God ts not willing that any should perish and desires ali to be saved, He, baving provided a way, says that if men will not accept His way they must. per- ish. When morning came they discov- ered a place with a beach where they might run the ship aground. And tuw death. again threatens Paul, for the soldiers advised that the prison- ers be killed l st they should escape. be centurion, for Paul's sake, pre- vented this, and so iu one way. or another all escaped safe to land, as Paul, had told them while out in the storm at sen. And so it came to pass (44), and in that saying there is one of the fiuest of Bible studies, for ft is true of every. prediction concern- ing the sufferings of Christ and will certainly. be true of every prediction concerning His kingdom and glory. They found themselves on the island of Melita, or Malta, in a time of much rain, and cold rain, too, but the people of the island showed them great kind- ness and kindled a-fire aud welcomed them as well as they could. When rend of kindness 1 recall that David axked If there was any one left of the house of Saul that be might show the kindness. of God unto him for Jona- than's sake (11 Sam. is, 1,.3, 7). There is ordinary -kindness such as was shown by these Maltese, but believers are here to show the kindness of God. Vaul did not fail to. help make this fire burn and to keep it going, for he, too, gathered a bundle of sticks and. laid it on the fire. A good prayer meeting ought to be a good place to warm, one, but how often the leader is almost the only one to help make the fire burn. whereas if a dozen or more each threw on a stick or two whut a goud tire there might be . Oue might say, I thik God for the for- giveness of my sins; another might add,- l am glad that the Son of God loved me and gave Himself for me; another, I praise Him for making me a joint heir with Himself. 1 am-sure that a few contributions like these would help to make a great blaze, and many would get warmed up. for it is very cold at some prayer meetings. That old serpent the devil or some of his generation of vipers would be sure to get warmed. up. too, and fasten on some one und say something not very kind, which might lead some one to, say, Well, I'll never open my mouth in. meeting again, but ff they would just shake off the beast into the fire where he. belongs they would feel no harm, Again, Paul is misjudged and numbered. witb transgressors. but soon they change their minds about him, and if. we will-simply pay no heed to false accusations and misrepresenta- tions the Lord will take care of all and make true His: assurance, No Weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, aud every tongue that shall. rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn (Isa. liv. 17). Some people look a great while to see gome harm. come to a child of God. but no real harm.can come to such. and what looks like evil God will over- tule for good (Rom. vill, 28, 29 . ees Paul was permitted by God to work a miracle of healing upon the father of the:chief man of the tsland, who happ ned to live im those parts. He was suffering from fever and a bloody flux, but in the name of the Lord Jexus Paul laid bis hands on him and healed him, This led to others bring- ing their sick ones, aud many miracles of healing were wrought during those three months of unexpecte. blessing which had come to that island. We may. be sure that Paul would selze every opporiunity to tell of Him who graciously healed the people through His servant, and by him and his con- pantons ft would seem as if all on the island must have heard the glad tid- jigs. not only:of salvation through 2 -fucitied and-risen Jesus Christ, but also of the kingdom which He will yet establish ca the earth when there shail be no more death, neither sorrow. nor crying; neither. shall there be any- more pain on the: whole earth, and the ihhabltants shall not say, am sick (Rey. xxi, 4; Isa. xxxili, 24. When the shipwrecked people landed on the island they were snown no little kind- ness, but wher ney departed after three nionths they were honored with many honors anf laden with such things as they neered. This must have been real gratitude to God and to His son Jesus Christ and to those who tind brought the good news to-them. For about thirty sears T have seen much of this gratitude from some thousands of people who have hid.presented to them In the simplest possible Way the t truths of salvation and the king- dom, and. in nineteen and one-half years I have seen that gratitude in the substantiet: form of over 450.000 for. missions to spread the gospel. .
