FARMING IN WESTERN CANADA

fTT , , ... 1, ... .v... : h A WESTERN CANADA WHEAT FIELD.

Canadian cor e.s,o ldeno "WLat are the settlors of Western Canada and most of all the farmers who Iiave emigrated from the United State iotog this year?" I was asked by the JItor of one of our big American magaxins a short time ago, by which I was assigned to travel through the great wheat provinces of the Dominion West to disover just what the conditions were there, and bow the many thousands of American farmers in this "Eldorado of Wheat were prospering. This was my fourth journey through Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AllxTtn. I followed close upon the Hon) good American f armors who left the States to make new homes for themselves in these provinces last year an! in different words, tlii was how I answered the question of the editor quoted above: Imagine first of all, a train of forty-ton cars 1.4Ö-4 miles in length a train, in oilier words, which would reaih from New York City to Denver, or from the Canadian bord-r through the States of North and South Dakota. Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and for 'J.K miles down into old Mexico, and you will Lave some idea of this year's production of grain in the three great provinces of .Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta. In oth -r words, it will take more than 2fl0,!0o cars to carry the grain production of these provinces alone this autumn. If a person were standing at one point, and this "grain train' passed him at the rate of twenty miles an hour, he would tnve to remain in that one spot for just TIIIii:SIH.(- WHEAT IN Ihree days and thref nights to see the nd of it. It would carry past him more than IfJOHKMXiO bushels of the best wheat in the world. 1 20,0 o bushels of oats and "20,1X)I,000 bushels of barley, for these Cgures, aeconling to very best estimates that can be given at the present time, fclrow what the settlers of Western Canada luve raised this yar in the way of grain. Never in the history of any country lits there been a more prosperous year for farmers that the present one in the I'oruinion West. So enormous has been ;r.iin production that nearly 1.",mo,4XX) pounds of binder twine were required for the crops. Oats this season lae gone as high as one hundred lx:-;hcls. to the acre, while over large areas cf "ounf ry the average h is been as high as eighty and ninety bushels. The wheat jield has been as high as fifty bushels to the- arre, and front figures already in it Is believed that the total will ,ao an averts" yield of between twenty and tv.'en-ty-fhe bushels to the acre throughout the three provinces. It is difficult for one to understand just what Western Canada means to the farmer until he takes at least one trip through that country. As j-et the vast Rraiu lands of the three western provinces, with an area large enough to supIort the population of a nation, have l;irdly been scratched. In other words, it may truthfully be said that ' ' ,rnrloiis production of these prov -day Is that of a few pioneers. year ixty thousand of the best jtiS in th United States took up new homes for themselves there, and from the statistics of the past two or three years each rx of thfse settlers will harvesting from JV0 to 2rfX bushel of grain next 1 n .: . f EAT-STACK I N( SCENE ON THE (iiant Tr- wl KnKlnnl.

He builds himself a cabin or a rude board home, ami if he hi s not much capital of his own he works a part of his time for his neighbors, for work is always plenty and wages Rood. Tic second year, how ever, le has in Lis own grain. It is a commoi saying throughout Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta that "the s-ntlet makes a pood living the iirst yar, buiM himself a pood home the second, and it independent the third." 1'ntil 1 had become thoroughly acquainted with these thousands of my p-ojle who have emigrated to Western Canada, and with the conditions now existing among them, I was inclined to believe with othei hundreds of thousands of Americans that Canada's wheat lauds were considerably overestimated. There are a largo nutn ber of land companies in the United States whose promoter very much dislike to see good American farmers taking up land in Canada when they have vast tracts of their own to dispose of. One of the "stories" frequently seen in American papers is that the good homestead land, or free land, of the Dominion is already taken tip. Millions of acres of the btst land in the world are now open to American settlers in Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta, and t lies' acres are of fered to them absolutely free, with taxes so low. after they have gained possession, that they may almost be counted as nothing. To-day three great railroads stretch across Western Canada, and within a few SUL'TIIEKX ALl'EKTA. miles on each side of the.se roads the great part of the population of settlers live. Iteyond these narrow belts are millions of acres of the best land in the world and it is safe to say that within ten years it will Im almost entirely taken up and American farmers will occupy a great jmrtion of it. No firmer iu this country has to carry his crops far, for every few miles along the railroads towns or stations are laid out, and at every place there is a huge elevator, and sometimes several of them, each holding from J.UHiO to MM.U' bushels. A few paragraphs back. I made the statement that many American land companies are trying to give the impression that the free homestead lands of the Dominion are about gone. To show how ridiculous this is. 1 will give the figur s which have lwen secured through W. .1 Kennedy, of the Department of Immigration, who has made an exhaustive investigation of this subject. According to the results of his investigation there are at the present time more than li,n free hone-steals already surveyed and awaiting settlers, and in addition to those there are va-t tracts of the best land in the world which have not yet been surveyed, and which will be homestcaded. And from my long experience in the Dominion West, 1 oati den tly believe that during the next two ears nearly all of these homesteads wil have been taken up by good American farmers the farmers from our own States who -are making Western Canada what it is today. Years ago the best advice in the world was, "Young man. go West." To-day it has changed in a small way. Now it is: "Young man, go to Western Canada." CANADIAN NOliTIIEKN RAILWAY. IntrrrillnK Illta.

CONSERVATION OF

IL :b Far Reaching Policy for the Good of All the People. "Republican Party Uncovering1 Vast Wealth and Making Home Owning Easier Each Year. An extremely important feature of the constructive Itcpubllcau policy is the national povtinent for the conservation of tin natural resources of the country. This measure has been originated by the present Republican administration and. like the homestenl law, the national irrigation act and other measures for the benefit of the whole people, its inüuence is destined to Le far reaching and productive of great pjod to the home builders of the country. The National Conservation Commission as it exists to-day Is an outgrowth of the Inland Waterways Commission this Commission was appointed by President lioosevelt in March. 1007. In his letter creating the Waterways Commission the President uses this language: "That the Inland Waterways Commission shall consider the relations of the streams to the use of all the permanent natural resources anil their conservation for the making- and maintenance of prosperous homes." Home llulldliig for t'i People. The inquiries of the commission along the lines indicated led to the priinsal to the President on Oct. 3 that he call a conference on the general subject of the conservation of the national resources of the nation. Among other reasons mentioned for this movement their letter to the President, stated: "Hitherto our national policy has been one of almost unrestricted disposal ol ratural resources, and this In more lavish measure that by any other nation In the world's history; and this policy of the federal government has been shared by the constituent States. Three consequences have ensued : First, unprecedented consumption of natural resources; second, exhaustion of these resources to the extent that a large part of our available public lands have passed into great estates or corporate Interests, our forests are so far depleted as to multipiy the cost of forest products, and our supplies of coal and Iron ore are so far redtnt'd as to enhance prices; and third, unequalled opportunity for private monopoly, to the extent that both the federal and State sovereignties have been compelled to enact laws for the protection of Unpeople. "We are of opinion that the time has come for considering the policy of conserving these material resources 0:1 which the permanent prosperity of our country and the equal opportunity of all our people must depend; we are also of opinion that th policy of conservation has s marked an advance on that policy adopted at the outset of our national career as to demand the consideration of both federal and State sponsors for the welfare of the people." Tbl fonilrni'liTr I.oavfn at Work. In his address before the Lakes-to-the-Cnlf Deep Waterways Association at Memphis Pres! lent Kooscelt announced hi intention of calling such n conference, and on Nov. 1Ö, 1!7, he Issued imitations to the Coventors of all I.n l ollrtlr 011 Toft. "Nature gave him poise, judicial temperament, great force of character and tenacity of purpose," said the Senator. "His lon.g life in the public service is distinguishing for its marked ability, its wisdom, its integrity. Its patriotism. He has taken advanced grounds on the great issues that are engaging the pro foundest thought of the people of this great country. "Now from a somewhat Intimate acquaintance with him for the last twenty years I say that' he is progressive in principle and he is equipped most wonderfully In experici.ee." The Senator then reviewed Mr. Taft's career for the last ten years, whn. he said, he had been culled on to advise by two Presidents on questions cf government which gave them the greatest concern.

In this letter he said: "liecently I declared tin re is no other question now before the nation of equal gravity with the question of the conservation of our natural resources, and I added that It Is the plain duty of us who for the moment are responsible to take Inventory of the natural resources which have ben handed down to us. to forecast the iie?ds of the future and so handle the great sources of our prosperity as not to destroy in advance all hope of the prosperity of our descendants." This conference was held, President Iioosevclt presided and the practical conservation work was properly launched. Tafl to Illrrct the Work. Mr. Taft is thoroughly in sympathy with this movement to build more homes lor tbe people and to make them more attractive. He is one of the great Americans w ho typify the Indepi'iideue and the constructive genius of the American lu.m- builder. There is an innate desire in the heart of the American citizen to own a home. Mr. Taft iccogniLS the inherent yearning of the l.ople apparent on every page of history to own in fee simple some portion of the earth. The desire is as keen today as It ever was. Of all our wealthproducing class, the farmer needs 11 home most. He must have land. He should by all means owu it. Ills farm need not be so large as some suppose, but it should beiong to the farmer, not to some one else. This Is not only self-evident because of the advantages to the fanner, but because of its advantages to the nation at large. It is the corner stone of our national life, it lies at the root uf all true patriotism and all social improvement and content. (Jive a man a home uion the soil, and you have made him a patriot who will defend your institutions at the ballot box or on the battlefield. Mr. Taft proposes to open the dor to our vast natural resources with the liepublican key of national conservation. This is a most hopeful augury of the future. When the people have easy access to the land and can fully utilhe our great natural resources, most of cur other troubles will settle themselves. The property owner is a conservative man who loves his family and his country. Let the property owners be as numerous as possible. Let the ?:ooA work of home-making continue under Taft and Sherman. 'I he future (irimlnK nrltfliter. We are entering" upon a new and momentous era that calls for the highest qualities of constructive statesmanship such as Taft has so impressively demonstrated le possesses. This revelation to our iecple of the wealth at their very doors is characteristic of the wjit-hfulness of the Kpubliean party, and the work must be linnly and intelligently directed to reach Its highest possibilities to the citizen. We are 1 tinning not only for ourselves, but for future generations. We are the forefathers of a mighty future in a mig'iry land. If we are equal to our duths and opportunities we will make homes west of the Mississippi river for a hundred million of the freest men and women who ever walked the earth. We are living in an age of mighty achievements. The great canals and reservoirs for constructive work for irrigation iu the arid region, the Panama canal and other mammoth projects will s-Hn stand as completed monuments to the constructive genius of our people, and this age. The future is potent with still grander undertakings which will iu a few brief years, under Republican direction, stand as accomplished facts.

WILL VOTE FOR BRYAJT. Tim Too I'rosperou for One Kaiinan furnier, II Says, A Saline County farmer, who came to the country in the early days and accumulated six or eight hundred acres of farm lands, who has raised lots of wheat and corn and always voted the Republican ticket, national, state and county, declares that he is going to vote for Eryan this year, says the Saliua (Kan.) Journal. His argument is a peculiar one and from a Democratic standpoint is a good one. Mr. Farmer says he is land hungry and wants more Kansas lands, but because It is too high he is unable to acquire It. He declares that the juice of wheat is too high, and likew ise the prh e of corn. With a lower price on wheat and corn and other farm products the price of farm lands Is bound lo decline and when the price has been reduced he will be enabled to purchase more farms. Mr. Farmer says the election of Itryan is sure to reduce pri'v.? on everything wheat, corn, rye, alfalfa, oats, nogs, poultry and farm hands and the land itself. Mr. Roan wild at Kingston that President Roosevelt's Indorsement of Mr. Taft was worthless, for it was "the indorsement of a bankrupt." Why, then, has Mr. Eryan made such frantic claims as "the natural heir" of Mr. Roosevelt? New York Tribune. "I don't care for the Presidency if it has to come by compromise with Senator Foraker or auj-oue else in a matter of principle." William IL Taft. A vote for Eryan, the free trader. means a vote for free wool and the ruin of the sheep and wool industry. American Sheep Ereeder. The panic was doubtless chiefly due to the exhaustion of the free capital of the world by reason of the overinvestment in enterprises that have not been as product 'vv as expected. The enormous industrial expansion has at last tied up nearly all the world's capital which was available and new Investments had to halt. This result was world-wide.--Hon. Win.

In an interview given to a reporter for the Philadelphia Press, United States Senator John W.

LABOR DECLINES

ill Cannot Be Deceived Into Voting for Bryan and His Hollow Promises. The Democratic Candidate Ignore Pointed questions Regarding the l)eeria of 111 Tarty Toward Orunnlzcd Labor and Representative tniunhti Denounce Ulm. The professed friendship of Bryan and the Democratic party for labor is lcing relentlessly exposed. During the last few weeks the veil has been torn asunder and Bryan and his platform maker. Haskell, have been thoroughly exposed to the world. "That Bryan's record as a "friend of labor' Is the flimsiest of all public men in this line there can be no possible doubt," declares The Labor World of Pittsburg. "He has never been anything else than a talker aud he has talked so much that he has espoused all shades and angles of the great labor question without performing a single act in the Interests of the wage worker. He is just the same Bryan to-day that he ever was aud the other night in New York when asked to deny that he ever made the statement that American working men were 'public beggars.' be refused to answer it. He made the statement when fighting in Congress against the demands of the ..-ass Workers" Union. Ilryau Does Not Answer Questions. "A number of the most direct and important questions on his attitude toward labor's real interest have been submitted to Bryan and so far he has not condescended from his jHHlestal to offer a definite reply. He has been asked: 'Are you aware of the fact that since your nomination, and your Indorsement by the executive oMieers of the American Federation of Labor, the governor of Alabama, one of your friends and allies, has used his power to crush the lalor organizations ih that State, plat ing troops at the disIosal of the mine owners', and will you, now that the matter has tu en thus brought to your attention, publicly repudiate and condemn Covcrnor Comer's hostility to organized labor? This Is by all means a must vital question to every trade unionist in the country who Intends to vote next November. "The following questions have also been suhmittcd to him: "'Is it not a fact that at the present time. In the State of Mississippi, in the city of Yicksburg, to be exact, the members of the unions concerned with the river shipping are on strike, and that the Democratic administration of that city Is trying to break the strike by sending honest, law-abiding strikers who refuse to "scab" to the chain Ran;,'? "Assuming that you are Ignorant of these facts at present, will you not, as leader of the Democratic party, make immediate inquiries upon the matter, and. if you find the facts to be as stated, will you openly and unequivocally condemn the Democrats of Mississippi who are responsible for those conditions Red repudiate them? Ilnaltell the I nlun Hester. "'Is it not a fact that your intimate friend, ex-(Jovernor Haskell, national treasurer of the Democratic party (now resigned) was t!ie first presi dent of the Muskogee Citizens' Alliance, a secret organization patterned after the Citizens' Alliances of Messrs. Parry and Post, and existing for the sole purpose of opposing trades tin ionism and boycotting union men, so that every cent which a union or member of a union give to your campaign is sent to one of the most notorious and bigoted union haters in America? "'Is it not a fact that .fir. Haskell, as president of the Citizens' Alliance of Muskogee, sent out over his own signature a resolution calling upon members of the Busiuess Men's Alliance (another union-hating association) to bind themselves "to discriminate agilnst any and all labor union men" "to check the contemptible fanaticism of trades unionism." and to boycott all union men? "'Is it not a fact that the worst injunctions against organized labor i.cr issued by the courts of this country have come, many of them, from Democratic Judges, such as Justice Freeman's Injunction In 1900 against the International Cigar Makers' Union, enjoining them from even approaching their employers to seek a peaceable settlement, and from publishing their grievances; Justice Bookstaver's lujun'tion against the members of tbe International Typographical Union In their strike against the New York "Sun," enjolulng them from publishing their side of the controversy, and Justice Ulldersleeve's injunction Political Snapshots. "I cannot hit a man when he Is down," says Mr. Taft. The Big Stick, you may have observed, is used on those who are up frequently 'way up Kansas City Times.

One vital, dominating fact confronts the Democratic party which no oratory, which no eloquence, which no rheioric can obscure: Bryan's nomination means Taft's election. New York World. Mr. Bryan refuses to discuss whether he called the American workmen "public beggi'ts." The subject was not mentioned in the Denver platform. Omaha Bee.

against members of the same union In j the Butterkk case, 190G? j "'As a final question, Mr. Bryan, ad- ? dressed to you as a man, and not as a ! candidate, don't you think that the j

union man who votes for the Democratic party until satisfactory answers have been given to all these questions must be a good deal of a fool?' " Gompers' Man for Taft. Evidence is plentiful that the effect of Gompers' attempt to influence labor for Bryan is not very productive of results. An Illustration in point occurred at a noonday meeting in New York of the Commercial Travelers' Republican Association. John W. Armstrong, an organizer for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who was sent to Maine by President Gompers to make speeches for the Democratic State ticket, came out for Taft and Sherman. Li his speech he said : "The men whom I have met and conversed with in the American Federation of Labor are, as a rule, of the opinion that it would be unwise to support Mr. Bryan. The election of Mr. Taft means the resumption of business upon safe and sound lines. I have an abiding faith in the intelligence and loyalty of the workingmen to vote for Taft and the party and principles that made it possible for our workingman to occupy the eminent position he does, as compared with the position occupied by the unfortunate brother in the Democratic South, where the Democratic party has opposed the enactment of factory laws, child labor laws and the organization of workingmen." Vice President Philip Davis and Secretary S. T. Ingram of the Central Labor Union of Ter re Ilaute, Ind., issued a statement repudiating the announcement that Samuel Gompers is to speak in Terre Haute under the auspices of the central body of organized labor. Yice President Davis said: "Members of the Central Union are divided oh party lines, and for this reason it is not just that the union should Invite Mr." Gompers to make a Democratic speech. Let him come at the instance of the Democratic central committee." Labor Vote IlalUs at Urjnn.

The action of President Gompers of the American Fed -ration of Labor in aiding Bryan's campaign Is repudiated by James Duncan, second in command of the organization, in a letter made public Sept. ÜH. Mr. Duncan, who is first vice president of the Federation and also secretary-treasurer of the Granite Cutters' International Association of America, advises laboring men to rely upon their own judgment in voting at the coming election. NEY YORK DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. fw York World Sayn It Is Framed in the Intercuts f l'lülocr.icj. (From the New York World.) Mr. Mack must share the amazement of the World over a pretended Democratic platform which, while reiterating "its abiding faith in the principles of Democracy as against plutocracy," is framed in the interests of the very plutocracy it professes to denounce. It Is a platform for the protection of Wall street gamblers; for the protection of insurance criminals; for the ptotvetion of traction thieves; for the protection of Ryau-IIarrlman stock-jobbers; for the protection of rich taxih dgers; for the protection -of predatory corporations. It Is a betrayal of Denn erat le principles; it i a betrayal of the Democratic party; it is a betrayal of the Democratic masses. Standing before the people on such a platform, aud on such a platform alone, no Democratic candidate could le elected to office either in New York or in any State north of Mason and Dixon's line. Fortunately fcr the Rochester nominees, most of them have public records which give the lie to Murphy's corporation resolutions. Methods Contrasted. Mr. Bryan says lie would extirpate trusts, root and branch. If Mr. Bryan's language is more than mere rhetoric and he means to scire the property, to divide It up and sell it In pieces, and dissemble the parts, then I am not in favor of his method cf dealing with trusts, because I believe that such large combinations legitimately conducted greatly add to the prosperity of the country Hoc.
