True, much of the Dominion lies too fair north to become thickly in- habited, and therefore unfit for agriculture and commercial pur- pose's. Yet so rapid has been Can- ada's trade expansion, so great her increase in population during the past quarter of a century, and so bright and solid is the assurance of her future that the time is al- most here when that country will divide world honors with the Unit- ed States. It is no longer a strip of Iand to the north of us. So at- tractive is it that within the past seven years something Iike 500.000 people have moved over the bound- ary line, chiefly from the Middle Northwest, into Manitoba and neighboring Provinces. They were our best class of citizens, too, who have migrated, and the movement is still going on. Twenty-five years ago there were 2,000 miles of rail- road in Canada. Today there are 23,000, with three transcontinental lines. The total trade of this part of the British Empire has grown from $34,000,000 in 1851, to $550,. 000,000 at present, and the great impulse has come in 'very recent years, Manitoba raised 47,000,000 bushels of wheat in 1003. but last year the crop amounted to 87,500,- 000 bushels, While the population of Canada is but one-seventh that of the United States, that country can rightly claim to be the fairest flower with the most glowing pros- pect of any of England's dependen- cies. The Ladies' Aid of the Ltttheran church held. their first meeting in the church on Wednesday. The road to' the Lake will be opened by theiay council, This will prove a convenience to the public. ?ABOR ]!RS VANT1D' tan teeni Manitoba, Alberta. Saskatchewan Work harvesting for 25,000 men.

The regular meeting of the W. C. T. U. met Wednesday afternoon for their regular meeting at the home of Mrs. S. Rennie. The de- votional exercises Were conducted by the President Mrs. Heyrock, after which the educational half hour was taken by Miss Ethel Wil- liams, the subject being the Mis- sionary and Lumber Work in our north districts of Ontario., There are 100,000 men in our camp ready to receive the topic of Jesus Christ. (low these lonely rnen of the for- est listen with deepest reverence and respect to the Gospel message, as preached by our W. C. T. U, missionaries, sing :the old familiar songs with a volume of sound that would startle any congregation in Lower Ontario, And when the meetings are over they crowd around the missionary and earnest- ly thank them for the message they have taught them and urgent- ly invite them to return. We have been praying for a great Revival, the out pouring of God's spirit upon our missionaries and all who hear them, and already evidences of answers are not want- ing. This year we aro hoping a third missionary may be placed in the field that all the Damps in the 70,000 square miles may be visited each year. The business was then discussed. A most interesting letter was read from Mrs, H, Magel of Detroit, and Much enjoyed by all. The meeting closed with song, after which a dainty lunch was served and a pleasant social half hour was spent. F. G. O'Hara, deputy minister of trade and commerce; is at Victoria investigating the charge that Chinese are smuggled on Mexican steamers. omos The Santa Fe system is perfect- ing plans for a forest of eucalyptus trees in San Diego County, Califor- nia, from which to obtain a steady supply of crossties. A ranch of 8.000 acres has been purchased for this purpose, and as a start 600 acres will be planted. It is estim- ated that in eighteen years the company will be able to harvest from six to eight ties to a tree, and keep up the harvest thereafter con- tinnally. At present the Santa Fe system uses about 3,000,000 ties annually. In eighteen years . the company thinks it will be able to obtain from its forest 7,000,000 an- nually. The growing scarcity of timber suitable for ties. with a resultant increase in their cost, has led ele- ven roads, including the Santa Fe to start forests. Ten roads in the East have already planted in their respective forest sites thousands of catalpa, black locust, red oak, pin oak, and chestnut. The Santa Fe has selected the eucalyptus be- cause of its rapid growth and adap- tability to the climate of California New Mexico, and Texas. Eucalyptus ties in Hawaii are said to last fifteen years. East of Albuquerque the Santa Fe is using Georgia pine. At present both the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific are using many thousands of redwood ties on the coast. They are also getting oaken ties from Japan. 0.000 Cynical Epigrams on Women. A woman has more confidence in her doctor than za man has in his religion. Take as many as six girls togeth- er and you can bet 300 to 1 that within a half-hour the discovery will be made that one of the girls has recently washed her head. A young wife talks beautiful about her faith in her husband ; but an older wife can't work up any more eloquence on the subject than if she were talking about wash day or the mumps. When a woman cannot reform a man, his salvation here is impos- sible ; when she cannot destroy hire, his destruction is impossible, You have only to say that a woman is pretty to hear some one in the crowd say: ,•Yes, but she hasn't any sense" Some man -hating woman recent- ly won a prize for giving the fol lowing definition of a man : "Man - A creature not made very much in the likeness of his Creator—with less fortitude than awoman, and less fidelity than a dog." The first election in Cuba under the American Government took place on Saturday last.

Mont, Toronto The World Loves ;: Comparatively few peop, le comprehend the great change that is taking place in Canada in the develop- ment and use of telephones. Farmers and small villag- es have cotne to realize that the telephone is a necessity, an economy and a great convenience. 1 The Telephone 1 1 1 1 1 4 1 is an Educator It aids and oheapens communication, and cotit- munication is the first es- sential of civilization. Canada and Canadians in general have come to realize that rural communities are entitled to as gtele- phone service as cities have enjoyed. And it costs you only 1.00 per month, to have a telephone right in your house. Can you afford. to be witholxt it at three and one- third cents per day?
