Magazine and special writers in
newspapers have been busy of recent
\ears telling of the vast and continu
ous emigration of American citizens
into the Canadian northwest, But al
most nothing has beeu said or written
alout Canadian immigration into the
Cnl'ed States.
The commissioner of immigration
of the Rock Island-Frisco lines now
bilngs forward a careful compilation
showing that during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1908, more people
came into the I'nited Slates from
Canada than emigrated from this
country to Canada. The balance, how
ever. is slight, for reports of the com
missioners of immigration of the two
ct untries show that during the year
io.SGo went from the United States
i'?to Canada, while iS.S-ti emigrated1
irom Canada to the United States.
The two peoples are so alike iu
r? ce stock, language, religion, princi
ples of government and sympathies
and ideals that this iuterweaviug may
It accepted as desirable and mutu
ally beneficial. It corrects preju
dices, exerts a broad educational in
fluence aud makes for mutual respect
t a' seems to be deepening Into gen
i.'ue affection? E.Xchange.
MERELY A DREAM.
1 dreamed I went to Paradise, far
from this vale so dark, and having
rt ached that happy land. 1 sought
the baseball park; they charged me
nc'hing at the gate, but led me
blithely in, aud murmured, as I took
my seat: "The home team's sure to
win." A wingd fan beside me sat,
within the grandstand's shade, con
s> miug pearly peanuts and ambrosial
lemonade. 1 asked him why the shill
ing hosts all wore such happy grins.
"In heaven here," the fan replied,
the home team always wins." The
game was nicely under way when 1 {
ft 11 out of bed and busted nearly all 1
iuv slats aud fairly spoiled my head; j
forgetting 1 was back on earth, I
cried: "How was the game?" The
surgeon said: "They shut us out ? j
;t was a beastly shame." ? Walt Ma
son.
The statement by President Taft
to the effect that Walter Clark was
ai pointed governor at the request of
Governor Hoggatt will not tend to in
crease the popularity of the new gov
? rnor. So far as it has bwn possible
for the people of Alaska to express |
tneir disapproval of the admiuistra
t:on of Governor Hoggatt they have
done so, and if Hoggatt was running
for the office of dog-catcher in any
city in the North, with the possible
exception of Juueau, he would not be
able to muster a dozen votes. Just
why, therefore, he is granted the i
privilege of naming his successor is a
! .izzle difficult for Alaskans to solve.

MY WEALTH.
?*TY wealth Is this: The wrench of soul
When thou wert taken; the long
control
So hardly won; contentedly
To walk alone, nor grudge heaven thee.
MY wealth la this: One moment's space
To dwell In memory on thy facc.
From all my thronged and hurried day
To clutch this memory fast alway.
MY wealth la this: Ne'er may I see
Thee here, but still unswervingly
My spirit leafs to thine, so I.
Exultant, time and space defy.
THOCGH land and sea of leaf and sail
Bo void and flaming suns grow pale.
E'en though earth sink Into the abyss.
I'U bo with theo! My wealth Is this.

MISSOURI, A LITTLE STATE. WANTS
?CHANCE TO ME 'SHOW HE" EXHIBIT
Realizing that the exposition is
an assured success, the state of Mis-i
souri has just applied for ground
space, informing the management
that $-0,000 is available for a "show
me" exhibit. Director General Xa
deau wired back to Governor Had
ley that it was too late to start any
more buildings. Then word came
that Missouri must get iu on the big
show, and arrangements were made
lor space in the Agricultural building.

history of expositions that there has
been such au experlnce after the
;;ates have opened.
