the results of each year better than those of the year before. Speaking a chert time ago. Mr. Sny
der said: -I have always said that we
nave the bet irrigatod country in the United Suites. Mr. Hurley gave us a chance to prove it, and It was as much tho opportunity of showing that we could ntako good, as tho money, which induced mo to go into this competition." v Notwithstanding hla achievement. Mr. Snyder does not believe that his record will stand. He has too great a faith in tho potato Industry and in Idaho to permit such an opinion. "I do not think we have reached the limit, by a long way." he remarks, confidently, and there are thousands who are familiar with that country who
are ready to echo the assertion. Tho fact Is that largo profits from potato raising In Idaho aro the rule, not tho exception. H. P. Prodsham. a" farmer In the American Falls district, commonly takes COO bushels from an acre, his yield per acre thus being, at
i- cents per bushel, J210. -Someone who knows the conditions In and the possibilities of Idaho has said that "it is a maxim in southern Idaho that the new settler, with little
or no capital or Implements, but with a willingness to work, can plant potatoes on his irrigatod farm the first year and make a good living for bis family, besides laying aside money to make all necessary payments on his land." William B. Kelley, who owns a ranch near Gooding, says: "We get to many potatoes to the acre that we don't stop to count the sacks."
Samuel Lewis, also lirlng near Gooding, reports as follows: "Potatoes grow large and thick. Six potatoes from my field weighed 21 pounds. The crop runs 500 to 000 bushels to the acre, and can aways be depended upon." The price received by Mr. Sayder for his prize-winning potatoes doos not by any means represent the "top" of the Idaho market. Much higher prices have been commanded at various times, yet at the 2-cent rate received by Mr. Snyder his profits were very large. Scores of Instances may be cited to
show what the lands of Idaho hold in

Washington. If you bad discovered and interned a cholera anti toxin that could stop an annual loss of $30.000.000 worth of hogs In the United States, would you give the Invention away to the general public? Or. if you had found that oil and cement will mix to form a new style of concrete which may completely revolutionize the building industry, would you patent the process for your own pocketbook or for the free use of the people? These questions are hypothetical to the ordinary citizen, but they havo been real to two raon. He who dlscov-
ered the bog cholera serum might have been rich now, and with a stupendous fortune In sight. He who Is about to obtain a patont on a new building material modostly admits that there probably would bo millions in it" and a patent right, but that he has no desire
to take profit from his discovery.
325,000 IN ONE YEAR
int. IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
SURPASSES ALL RECORD.
The returns recently issued by tho Canadian Immigration Branch shows
that upwards cf 32S.0O0 persons ar
rea in Canada during the past twelve months, declaring their inten
tion of becoming settlers In that country. Of this number about 130.000
were from the United States, the bal-
anco being from the British Isles and Northern Europe. It will thus bo soon
that the sturdy farming: element that
has gone forward from the United Statos is being splendidly suppleraanted by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. The lure of Canadian wheat, oats, barley and flax grown on the rich prairie of Western Canada is constantly attracting more and more, and year by year the tide of Immigrants to tho Western Canada plains Increases; there Is no ebb to this tide. The Canadian authorities are not surprised at the number from the United States being as large as It Is but tbey did not look for bo large an Immigration from the old countries. Still, they will not bo found unprepared. Reception halls are In readiness at all Important points In Manitoba.

i Ith tho "Dahneny ! Those who have succeeded In this .rWr of potatoes. The ! or,e o potato raising, trace their
accomplishments to Industry, of course, and to a study of conditions and needs. But they could not have reaped such harvests If Industry and determlaatio had not been iortlüed by Ideal conditions of climate and seil. Such conditions prevail in the agricultural districts of Idaho. There the ground Is rich and eager. There the climate is conducive to the outdoor task. There the schomo of irrigation has been so well prepared and is so unfailing in its supply that growing crops have water when they need it. With water, senshlao and cultivation to bless the crops at proper interval, the growing of potatoes, or any other agricultural or horticultural industry in Idaho, is as sure of abundant cash roturas as any of man's tasks can be.

While walking down Bishopsgate street one morning they quarreled orer some medical question and adjourned to the square of the college to fight It out with swords. Woodward fell, wounded in several places, whereupon Mead magnanimously said "Take thy life." "Anything but your physic." hissed back the chagrined Woodward ere he swooned away. London Chronicle.
