Reccird Land %Mem
One 0 the most unimpeachable bits
of testimony recently given respect-,
ing ,the worth of the Canadian West
was tbat afforded by the results of the
sales 0 school lands near Francis,
Saskatchewan, Record prices were
realized; and the buyers, for the roost
part, were the farmers of the vicinity.
The speenlators wens outbid by the
men on the spot, who ere already tifl.
int; the soil, and who, from actual
experience, know what it is worth to
a man who combines ownersbip with
experience and industry.
These lands are set aside as aids to
local education. They are held and
administered by the Vederel Govern-
ment as trustees for the provincial
authorities; and when they are sold
the SUM realized is held as an endow-
ment fund, the interest being paid to
the Government of the province irt
which the lands are situated, to be
used by it for the purposes of educa-
tion.
At the Francis sale an average price
of $17.17 per acre was received, the
total amount of the sale being $504,-
000. The farmers stepped in and in-
creased their holdings by outbidding
the speculators. Although the price
seettied high the farmers., knew that
the land was worth it. The had
proved its value by the crops raised
on similar land in the locality.

CANADA'S CLAPHAM JUNCTION.
The "Roaringest Town In Canada"
Cannot Wait for Map.Makers.
When a Canadian goes to England
he has to learn that he has an accent.
1.1e may have been told so before, but
he did not believe it. In England he
is forced to feel that his voice is
harsh, and finally to admit that be
has a peetillarity of speeeh which
Englishmen •are justified in describ-
ing as "the Canadian accent." Yet
we are somewhat at a loss to know
where the Canadian backwoodsman,
quoted by The London Chronicle,
learned to talk. A representative of
that Sournal, ireveling frona Toronto -
to the new town of Cochrane, fell in
with the backwoodsman and they
conversed. Here is his account of the
interview:
"Cochrane's pin' ter be thar roar-
inges' town in Canada, so Mar!"
The backwoodsman paused, gave
savage chew, expectorated violently,
and shifted the plug to the other side
of his mouth in a manner that con.
veyed the idea of having imparted
some highly important information.
"Well, where is Cochrane, any-
way? It's not on the map," I ven-
tured.
"What.? Map!011-" and he
plumped bis hand savagely on my
shoulder.
"Younietin, you're a tenderfoot,
You'll soon larn that maps ain't no
account out 'ere. They can't keep up
with the growth of the country. We
ain't got no eall for mans. You jump
on tint train, book toCochrane, and
they'll put you right down thar
sure. '
I did book my seat, and some hours
later tumbled out of the Pullman with
a crowd of travelers, Evidently there
were plenty of people who knew all
about Cochrane and how to get, there,
even if I didn't.
It was indeed a motley throng.
Lantern-jawed Atnericans, swarthy
fair -skinned Scandinavians,
bushy-eyebrowed Russians, a stolid
German, two Servians, and typiell
examples of one or two other .nation-
alities elbowed one another, Each
shouldered his sack containing the
whole of his worldly possessions, and
shambled his way to it wooden build-
ing near by.

BACKIIVOODSv PHILOSOPHY!.
Being Some Extracts From 'Old Abt
Ward's Diary,
Abe Ward lived many years ago in
the backwoods of Northern Ontario,
when those parts were only just be -
corning Inaewn to the outside world.
He was a good bushman, with a kind
heart and a wise old bead. In feet,
his memory is kept green by the pres.
ent generation around Simon Creek
by numerous tales of the "bilge 0 the
bush."
Far away front the influence of pro-
gressive civilization, Abe thought and
worked and lived by rules of bis own,
and even set wise preeepts for his
neighbors. Nobody could tell anything
about Abe. His past life was a.closed
book. Where he came from and what
'ne had been was never known. Abe
rarely talked, and wheu, he did he
would not be drawn into a converse -
tion about himself. He was a great.
favorite, however, with the whole
countryside. Even Jim Faber and
Peter Staker, who were the most, dis-
solute fellows for miles, would speak
in high terms of Abe, and When oUe
cold December morning he was found
dead in his lonely shack, it was a
mournful procession that laid his body
reverently to rest a few boors later.
Travelers to- those parts to -day linger
long over the stone erected by the
boys, bearing the strange epitaph, "A
dead man must be more useful than
either."
When Abe died, among his earthly
treasures were a bundle of pieces of
hark on which were scratched num-
erous notes. These have been pre-'
served 'and are known around Simon
Creek as "Abe's Diary." Everybody
for miles around bas read the diary,
but until now none of it has ever
been published.
Here are some extracts from Abe's
Diary, This part, is known in Simon
Creek as "The Bushman's Creed,"
"I believe there is a source to every
creek, a root to every tree, and a God
at the beginniag of both. '
"I believe in a •strong arm, a. cool
head, and a sharp axe with a stout
shaft. •
."I believe the best way to split a
tough proposition is to use a, good set
of wedges, and swing a beadle.
- "I believe in a future existence. If
dead trees make 'good timber, ant
dead leaves enrich the ground, a dead
man must be more useful than either.
" 'believe the Strongest part of a
pine is the .smell; the surest thing
about the hemlock, its color, and the
noblest thing about a man, his char-
acter. The pine -smell can travel a
mile.. The hernloek-blood dye a hide:
but the influence of a good character
is unbounded. •
•-"I believe these is only one way
possible -for a:tree to: fall, arid that, is
the way it leans living. So with a

"I believe in gathering up the brush,
as I. go along. .11 keeps the path clears
for others." •
But for the almost TeligiOus ere
taken. of Abe's diary by- doting friends,
it . would .'e•re now .have followed the
fate pf all 'other pie:eels ef. bark. It is
a source et -lasting credit to the. in-
habitants of • Siinort • Creek that they
had the wisdom and foresight to keep
the unique diary intact..•Abe touched
on many subjects of human:interest,
and because he .expressed hinisell hi
an original way, -heedless of the dic-
tates of orthodoxy, casting: asidethe
rigid claims of a narrow, rutty -minds"
ed generation, his words. immediately
took new life and presented truths
itt sintple language. . .
Here are two • others • of his 'short
philosophical. sayings, referring to hu
man life in general:
' "The highest form of life in this
world is humeri, and as the acorn is to
the oak, so human life contains the
seed of something greater.

COL DENISOY, IMPERIALI5T.
Whet the Vancouver Saturday Sunset
- Says About Him.
Says The 'Saturday Sunset of Van-
couver, concerning .Col. Venison's re-
cent visit to that city:
Col. George T. Denison, Canala's
most advanced and comprehensive
Imperialist, addressed the Canadian
Club. yesterday. Col: Denison is the
greatest spark consumer and 1r1411'
smoke maker which militant wiper,
ialisnt has yet .produced in Canada. un
His brand of Perialism, while it
does not fit the West; will neverthe-
less be eheerfully 'received in the
West, mainly because it does no one
any harm and it amuses the colenel.
The colonel's Imperialism includes 4
federation of all the British countries
of the earth, a trade zollverein,
navy for each, an Imperial navy dots.
ble the present size, an Imperial courts
oil, an imperial Parliament composed
Id representatives of all the countries
in the Empire, of which the greatest
shall be Canada, and anything else
that looks plausibly Impenal. There
is nothing narrow or circumscribed
about Col. Denisen's Imperial creed.
It is so big that everyone ;tan find
some phase of it that pleases hirn
and he is a mighty particular Imper.
ittlist who cannot find something in
the colonel's Imperialism that suite
hint.
You can't help liking the colonel in
spite -of his fiery enthusiasm, simply
because you know he believes and
feels every word he says. You know
the colonel is honest, clear from his
upstanding grey pompadour down to
his polished brogans. Because of his
obvious honesty in conabinatioo with
his sizzling zeal, when Col, George
drops into Louden the War Office
looks guilty, like a line of holiday
ivIebrationists in the Toronto police
court. When Col. George's clinking
spurs and clanking sword come down
the corridors of the War Office an the
understrappers stand at attention and
the heads of departments get madly
busy.
So, too, when Col. George invades
Heflin there is consternation in the
Reieltstag and the Kaiser's upstanding
Inonstaeltios droop in dismay.
