4ra„ 4 NEW DISTRICTS AND 41IE IIARDIN TRIBUNE NEV RAILWAYS Be WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BET ' TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER FOR SETTLEMENT. To the Editor --- Sir:—Doubtless Many of your readers will be pleased to have some word from the grain fields of Western Canada, where such a large number of Americans have made their home during the past few years. It is pleasing to be able to re- port that generally the wheat yield hue been good; it will average about 20 bushels to the acre. There will be many cases where the yield will go 85 busbeis to the acre, and others where 60 bushels to the acre has been recorded. The oat and barley crop has been splendid. The prices of all grains will bring to the fainters a magnificent return for their labors. An instance has been brought to my notice of a farmer in the Pincher Creek (Southern Alberta) district— where winter wheat is grown—who made a net profit of $19.55 per acre, or Mtge. -less than the selling price of his land. 30, 40, and 60 bushel yields are recorded there. The beauty about the lands in Western Canada is that they are so well adapted to grain -raising, while the luxuriant grasses that grow everywhere in abundance make the best possible feed for fattening cattle or for those used for dairying eels poses. The new homestead regulations which went into force September, 1908, attracted thousands of new settlers it is now possible to secure 160 acres in addition to the 160 acres as a free grant, by paying $3.00 an acre for it. Particulars as to how to do this and as to the railway rates can be se- cured from the Canadian Government Agents. \The development throughout West- ern Canada during the next ten years will probably exceed that of any other country in tne world's history,\ is not the statement of an pptimistic Cana- dian from the banks of the Saskatche- wan, but of Mr. Leslie M. Shaw of New York, ex -Secretary of the United States Treasury under the late Presi- dent McKinley and President Roose- velt, and considered one of the ablest financiers of the United States. \Our railway companies sold a good deal of their land at from three to five dol- lars an acre, and now the owners are selling the same land at from,, fifty to seventy-five dollars, and buying more up in Canada at from ten to fifteen.\ The editor of the Monticello (Iowa) Express made a trip through Western Canada last August, and Sit as greatly Impressed. He says: \One cannot cross Western Canada to the meun- tains without being impressed with its immensity of territory aryl its future prospects. Where I expected to find frontier villages there were substan- tially built cities and towns with every modern convenience. It was former ly supposed that the climate was too severe for it to be thought of as an agricultural country, but its wheat - raising possibilities have been amply tested. We drew from Ontario many of our best farmers and most progres- sive citizens. Now ti e Americans are emigrating in greater numbers to Western Canada. Seventy-five per cent. of the settlers in that good coun- try located southeast of Moose Jaw and Regina are Americans. Canada Is well pleased with them and is ready to welcome thousands more.\ _ Colombia's One Iron Foundry. The only Iron foundry in Colombia, South America, is at Bogota.

'rests Made by Dr. Wherry Show That Ordinary House Insects Will Trans-* mit Leprous Bacilli—Experi- ments with Rats. -- Washington.—The highly important eiscovery has been made by William B. Wherry, surgeon of the marine hos- pital service, that rats have leprosy, 4nd that the ordinary house fly, after feasting upon a dead leprous rat, will carry and deposit bacilli of the dis- ease. The conclusions reached are not definite that the fly transmits the bacilli of rat leprosy to human beings, but the surgeon is of the opinion that It is quite possible for the fly to trans- mit human leprosy from a diseased to a non -diseased person. Dr. Wherry, in an important report, quotes noted authorities in expressions pf well founded belief that leprosy is frequently acquired through flies. The insects gather upon the ulcers of lepers and later bite well persons. In one instance a man who had been bit- ten by a fly in a leper settlement no- ticed the first outbreak of the disease at the place where the fly had bitten him. The inoculations of the fly are small, but when made under favorable circumstances carry leprous bacilli with them, it is believed. The very careful examinations de by Dr. Wherry_at_vatious places In California seems to confirm the theory that the fly, after coming in contact with leprosy, will deposit the bacilli of that disease for several days afterward. In the last few months Dr. Wherry examined 9,361 rats at Oakland, Cal., for leprosy, and found 20 infested with the disease, some of them in the advanced stages. One leper rat was found staggering in the streets of Oakland, blind and defense- less from the disease. The disease among rats is believed to be transmit- ted from one to the other by the ba- cilli lying just beneath the -skin. Blood- sucking insects upon the rats carry the disease from the sick to the well, lust as it is now admitted flies do in 2ases , sot typhoid fever. Dr. Wherry used the carcasses of leper rats to inoculate flies. The car- casses were_ exposed to flies in glass Jars. After many flies had been col - tested the jar was screened. After feeding upon the carcasses the fifes soon began to deposit specks upon the sides of the jars. Examination in almost every inetance showed the presence of the bacilli of rat leprosy. The surgeon found that the flies took up immense numbers of the bacilli from the carcasses. When fed upon livers and other organs of well rats no bacilli were found. Dr. Wherry continued his important Investigations with human lepers. At the Alameda county infirmary he cap- tured two flies from the ulcerated por- tion of the face of an advanced leper. Within an hour after the flies had been placed in vials the specks depos- ited by them showed bacilli of the dis- ease the same as In the case of the rats. For many hours afterward the specks contained lepra-like bacilli. The surgeon was even able to cou the number of bacilli in one speck, tie ing the approved methode for that pur- pose. In one speck there were 1.150 bacilli. Experiments upon guinea pigs *ith the bacilli failed to trans- mit the disease to these animals. The conclusions of Dr. Wherry are that there Is no certain evidence that rat leprosy and the human disease are the same, although it is now well es- tablished that the plague is transmit- ted almost wholly to human beings frern rats coming in contact with food or clothing. The taking up of the par- asites by the fie does not necessarily mean that the fly also can carry the disease, but the facts are given for what they are worth. It was discov- ered at least that the parasites do not multiply in flies, and that in 48 hours the insects are clear (se the bacilli. BABY HAS MANY ANCESTORS. Fifty -Eight Living Great, Greater and Greatest Grandparents. McGregor, la,—The distinction of possessing more grandparents than any other one of the 10,000,000 babies In the union is believed to rest with Agnes Naomi Reah Gulley, two and a half months old. She is the first born of the sixth generation. While she coos in the arms of her great -great -great-grandmother, who does the family cooking at 95, she is learning to differentiate 58 grand, great, greater, and greatest grandpa- rents in the following order: Her parents' parents, four; their parents, eight; their parents, 16; their parents, 32, less two deceased; total, 58 grandparents for her tiny self. Her greatest grandmother, Mrs. Lydia Shrake, has rival claims to dis tinction which she jealously guards. With her ten children, 41 grandchil- dren, 85 great-grandchildren, 30 great - great -grandchildren, and one great - great -great-grandchild, making a total of 167 descendants, she rightfully de- mands attention. Whether it is more honorable to count down to a posterity of 167 or reckon up an ancestry of 68 is a mooted question in the com- munity. Mrs. Shrake has to her credit the additional facts that she sent five sol- dier sons to the army in 1861 and is the widow of a soldier of the war of 1812. EARN $15 OR AVOID MARRIAGE. eearvard Expert Says Family Cannot Be Brought Up on Less in Cities. Boston.—Thomas Nixon Carver, pro- fessor of economics at Harvard uni- versity, in an article printed here says it is not in the interest cf society or the laboring classes that men who cannot earn $15 a week should try to marry and bring up a family in a place like Boston. When persons who cannot earn $15 a week bring children into the world, the chances are that the children will be like them, he says. There will thus be a large supply of unskilled laborers to crowd the market and make condi- tions worse for the superior laborers He advocates the adjustment of the la- bor question and the exclusion of the ever-increasing stream of unskilled foreign laborers. That the standard of living among the less skilled laborers should be raised is the belief of Prof. Carver, but he also adds that under existing laws such reform would be almost impos- sible. \As long as we allow unre- stricted immigration to overcrowd the market,\ sa s s Prof. Carver, \it will be futile to try to alleviate poverty or improve conditions.\ SREKS WIFE IN DENVER. New York Inventor Asks Western Mayor to Secure Spouse for Him. Denver, Col.—Henry Schaefer of New York, who describes himself as an inventor, writes to Mayor Speer that he can't find any home girls in that city, and wants a Denver wife Schaefer says: \Dear Mayor: Owing to a scarcity of true home women In New York and its surrounding territory, 1 take pleas ure in asking you whether you can through your office, secure for me a wife who is willing to appreciate a good loving and true youth for a bus band. \I am 22, and this will be my first experience as a navigator on the sea of matrimony. Am sure it will be a lifelong success, as I am a young mari with common, practical sense, well in formed, well educated, and never ill- tempered nor made easy to fly into a fury. A young woman who is looking for that kind of a man and who her- self possesses the same trained habits, is the one I wish to correspond with and meet. To such a one I can assure a lifelong joy and happiness. \Life will then be a paradise. \I am an inventor and spend my time solving and planning mechanical problems, of which I have achieved success, controlling numerous patents of various designs and descriptions. \My income is large enough to com- fortably support a wife, whom I am careful to select ere I walk into the matrimonial trap. I am anxious, therefore, to marry a Denver woman, regardless whether poor or rich, and wish to hear from them through you. References will be exchanged.\ TWINS KEEP TOWN GiJESSING. Renidents of New England Village Can't Tell Which is Which. Providence, H. I.—\Gee!\ said a small boy who could not go to school because he had a sore toe. \You ought to see 'em. They both wore brown hats an' brown shoes an' hose, and you couldn't tell 'em apart. An' brown dresses, too,\ he added as an after- thought. \There's the school, right up there,\ he said, pointing out a yellow building with a flagstaff in the front yard. \I ain't goin' no closer, because it's re- cess an' she'll see me if I do.\ \Which one are you afraid of r asked the stranger. \Both of 'um,\ answered the boy, disappearing in the opposite direction with an agility surprising for one with a toe sore enough to keep its owner out of school. He was taking no chances, for either of the two young women who teach at the Glendale school might be his teacher—and he could not tell them apart. Neither can the others in the village; and as for the children, they are at their wits' end to tell whether they are speaking to Miss Mary or Miss Elizabeth when they pass \teacher\ on the street. They are certain of speaking to Miss Rey- nolds, for the teachers are twin sisters and so like that their mother could not distinguish between them in baby- hood and early childhood, while to -day it is difficult to tell which is which, even when they are together and thus inviting comparison. invents Needle Blind Can Thread. Edwardsville, Ill.—Miss Alice G Bradley of Edwardsville has just re- ceived a patent on a needle that can be threaded by a blind person. Mine Bradley found great difficulty In threading sewing machine needles on acconnt of a defect in her eyesight, and worked for a long time to devise a needle that could be threaeded with- out loss ef time. The needle is split from near the top to the eye, which In a sewing ma- chine neeylle Is near the bottom. TIAre the thread slia Into the eye and the slit closes automatically and is clasped, making the rhank practically solid SAYS CANAL DAM WItt,VAlL. Panama Editor Insists Present Plan Is Not Feasible. Los Angeles, Cal.—That the Panama canal project as now prosecuted must eventually be abandoned, and that the great ditch will cost $700,000,000, in- stead of $350,000,000, and will probably not be completed for 20 years, is the Assertion made by J. Gabriel Duque, Central American multi -millionaire, owner of three newspapers, including the largest in the canal zone, builder of Panama's new $700,000 theater, and close friend of Lieut. Col. G. W. Goethals, chairman and chief engineer of the isthmian canal commission. Duque is visiting his brother in this city. He has been in Panama 32 years and bases his discouraging statement on expert knoWIMge of natural condi- tions there. He declares the disintegrating ac- tion of the fierce sun will break the Gatun dam, release the impounded lake intended to form part of the ocean -to -ocean water way, and force the government to build practically a new canal in parts, on the sea level idea originally recommended by noted engineers of all countries. USES $5 BILL AS A LIGHTER. As Result of Blunder Man Had to Go to Jail. Long Island City, N. J.—Casmus Val - chi of Bayside bad to go to the county jail because the man who was sent to the Flushing police court to pay his fine of five dollars used the money for lighting a cigarette. -1/VIlliam Hewlett, a negro, was sent to Flushing by John Casmus of Bay- si le to pay Valchi's fine. In order not to lose the money Hewlett rolled the bill in a piece pf paper and put it In his vest pocket. On, the way ter the courthouse Hewlett stopped at a blacksmith shop, and, taking a piece of paper from his pocket, lighted kis cigarette. When he reached his destination be looked for the money, but it was not 'where be had put it, and he then re- membered having lighted his cigarette with a piece of paper taken from his pocket. He ran back to the black- smith shop, and there, in the furnace, was the five -dollar bill smoldering on the but coals. The remains of the bill were picked out, but were not suffi- cient to pay Valchl's fine, and he had to go to jail. I AM A MOTHER How many American women in lonely homes to -day long for this blessing to come into their lives, and to be able to utter these words, but because of some orpnio derange- ment this happiness is denied them. Every woman interested in this subject should know that prepara- tion for healthy maternity is accomplished by the use of LYDIA E. PINKHAIWS VEGETABLE COMPOUND Mrs. Maggie Gilmer, of West Union, S.
