It began all over the United States this 1 morning, bright and early. In this city the enumerators must complete 1 the work within fifteen days. This ' means they must move along. It is | easy to overlook some one. Don't let | it be you. We are all proud of our citizenship, and each of us goes toward making the eighty million. The omission of one person counts on the total for the city, county, district, state and nation, and upon this manythings depend. If they miss you see I that your name is on the list. It costs nothing and it may nelp. Besides we want to compare with other cities in this section in population.

HANNELE. (Continued from cage 1.) press next day, and Mr. Meltzer received the following appreciative letter from Carl Rosenfeld: "I have not yet expressed to you my sincere gratitude tor all the trouble you took in behalf of ’Hannele.’ I am sure as well as my brother and Mr. Hauptmann who on his departure left his best regards to you—will never forget how much of the success of 'Hannele' we owe to you.” The “blasphemy” issue was disposed of once and for all some years later, when Cardinal Gibbons not only authorized the reading of "Hannele" for the benefit of a Catholic fund, but offered to attend the function. Mr. Meltzer's anglicization is faithful to the original, both in the realistic anfl the poetic passages. NEW GREAT NORTH (Continued from page 1.) western branches of the Peace river, most notablb being the Ingenika country along the Finlay river in northern British Columbia, and immense quantities of coal have been located along the Peace river near the Alberta and British Columbian boundary. Valuable deposits of asphalt and petroleum have been discovered in the vicinity of Fort McMurray, nearly four hundred miles north of Edmundton. A stock company composed of wealthy promoters and business men of the states and Canada has recently been incorporated at Winnepeg ! with a capitalization of five million dollars to develop these valuable resources.

legislature guaranteed the bonds for the construction of the Alberta Great Waterways railway, which is to be built from Edmunton to Fort McMurray, four hundred miles north of the Alberta capital, at the junction of the navigable waters of the Peace and At- ' habasca rivers, which will give an outlet to this great waterway system of the north, extending to the Arctic ocean, via tae McKenzie river and up the Peace river to Fort St, John, the ' head of navigation in British Columbia, on which for several years the Hudson Bay company steamers have been plying. The survey for this line was completed during the summer of 1909 and the present winter. An army of men are at work clearing the right of way and making ties to be , used in the construction of this line - and the outlook is that this road will - be rushed to an early completion to a give access to this valuable territory. 1 A million dollar packing plant has just i been completed at Edmonton by Swift & Company. Each year large - herds of cattle are driven on foot down a to this gateway of the northern em- >■ pire and in the future this north - country must supply most of the lives stock for the markets of the Canadian i northwest until the country is given - transportation by the numerous lines ; of steel projected northward, when it i will ultimately be given over to - farming as in the already settled 1 tions of the provinces to the south.
