SECURE A FREE HOME IN THE
FERfrlL£ WHEAT FIELDS OF
/WESTERN CANADA.
To th/e Editor:
Th® emigration of well-to-do fann
ers from the United States to the
Canadian Northwest has assumed
Bucft proportions that organized ef
forts are now being made by inter
ested persons and corporations to
S'tem the tide. The efforts are being
ii/itiated chiefly by railway and real
efctate interests in the States from
which the bulk of the emigration
lakes place. The movement of popu
lation lias taken from numerous
states thousands of persons whose
presence along railways in these
states made business for the trans
portation companies.. The move
ment has also become so widely
known that it has prevented the set
tlement of vacant lands along these
lines, parties who might have locat
ed there, being attracted to the free
and more fertile lands of Canada.
The result of the movement has been
that the railway companies not only
see the vacant lands along their
lines remain vacant, but they also
see hundreds of substantial farmers
who have helped provide business for
these railways move away and so
cease their contributions. The
farmers have moved to Canada be
cause they were convinced that it
would be to their financial interest
to do so. In moving they have been
inconsiderate enough to place their
own financial interests before those
of the financial interests of the rail
way corporations.
In addition to the railway corp
tions, real estate dealers are work
ing to stem the flow of emigrants.
Ot course every emigrant who goes
+ ftimdii rviPnti c. litcc n+ cmil
missions on land deals by real es
tate dealers. Now a person lias but
to know what the interests are that
are trying to stop the flow to know
what motive is influencing their
course. The emigration means finan
cial loss to railway corporations and
to real estate men. These interests
therefore are not directing their op
position efforts out of any love for
the departing emigrants or out of
any high patriotic motives either.
They are doing so purely from self
ish interests. It is a matter of dol
lars and cents with them. They are
so patriotic, they are so consumed
by love for their fellow citizens that
they want to prevent these fellow
citizens going to Canada and getting
free farms of the best wheat land in
the world; and instead they want to
make them stay on high priced farms
in the United States where they will
continue to pour money into the
pockets of these railways and real
estate men.
One of the methods employed by
these interests to stem the tide is
the distribution of matter to news
papers, painting Canada in the dark.-,
est colors. These articles emanate
chiefly from a bureau in St. Louis.
They are sent out at frequent inter
vals for simultaneous publication. A
writer is employed at a high salary
to prepare the matter.
Moreover, statements absolutely at
variance with the truth have lately
been published broad east. These ap
pear chiefly in wliat purport to be
letters from persons who are alleged
to have gone to Canada and become
disgusted with it. Only a few of such
have been published and they con
tain statements that are absurd in
their falsity. Whether the parties
whose names appear in connection
with these letters have ever been
in Canada and if so, their history
while there, is to be thoroughly
looked into. The discovery of their
motive, like the discovery of the mo
tive of the interests who are en
gineering the opposition, may prove
illumining. In the meantime, however,
it may be pointed out that only a few
of such letters hinj^ftppeared but
since 1897 over 87,000 American set
tlers have gone to the Canadian
West. Can any reasonable person
suppose for a moment tliat if Cana
da was one-quarter as bad as repre
sented in these letters the 87,000
Americans now there would remain
in the country; or, if the Canadian
West had not proved the truth of all
that was claimed for it, the papers
of every State in the American North
west would not be filled with letters
Baying so? Imagine 87,000 aggressive
Americans deceived and not making
short shift of their deceivers. The
fact is the 87,000 are well satisfied
and are encouraging their friends to
follow them.
Anyone who sees any of these dis
paraging letters should remember
that it is railway and real estate in
terests who have from purely selfish
reasons organized a campaign to
Btem the flow to Canada. If Canada
were half as bad as represented there
would be no need of such an organi
zation. The fact that such exists is
of itself a magnificent tribute to
Canada. Finally it should not be for
gotten that the letters published are
brimful of falsehoods and that S7.000
satisfied Americans in the Canadian
West constitute a living proof that
such is the case.

whose name appears in advertise
ment elsewhere in this paper, is au
thorized to give all information as

TWO SIGNAU5.
There are
t w o serious
signals of
kidney ills.
The first sig
nal comes
from the back
with numer
ous aches and
pains. The
second signal
comes in the
kidney secre
t i o n s, the
urine is thin
and pale or
too highly
colored and showing “brick-dust-like”
deposit. Urination is infrequent, too
frequent or excessive. You should
heed these danger signals before
chronic complications set in—Dia
betes, Droosy, Bright’s disease. Take
Doan’s Kidney Pills in time and the
cure is simole.
J. F. Wainwright, of the firm of
Bones & Wainwright, painters and
contractors, Pulaski, Va., says: “Four
or five times a year for the
past few years I have suffered
with severe attacks of pain in my
back, caused from kidney trouble.
During these spells I was in such
misery from the constant pain and
aching that it was almost impassible
for me to stoop or straighten, and it
really seemed as if the whole small
oi my oaci( nau given away. /u
times I also had difficulty with the
kidney secretions which were dis
colored, irregular and scalding, and I
was also greatly distressed with
headaches and dizziness. I used
a number of recommended reme
dies but I never found anything so
successful as Doan’s Kidney I’ills.
Yvhen I heard of tl em I had an at
tack and procured a box of them. In
a few days the pain and lameness dis
appeared, the trouble with the kid
ney secretions was corrected and my
system was improved generally. I
have every confidence in Doan’s Kid
ney Pills.”

ney medicine which cured Mr. YVain
wriglit will be mailed to any part of
the United States on application.

Arthur was one of the little unfortunata
army of live-year-olds that lives on Fifth
avenue, where he has everything to his
heart’s content except mud pies ami things
a boy’s heart really craves. Not long ago
one of Arthur’s uncles bought a country
seat on Long Island—barns, horses, cows,
chickens, and other rural conveniences in
cludled. Recently Arthur was allowed to
visit the “farm” and to inspect the same
at his leisure. One of the first things lie
saw was a strange creature on two leg-, with
wings and a mania for scratching gravel.
“What’s that thing'” he asked.
‘‘That’s a chicken,” was explained..
"Oh, no," he said incredulously, “yon

A Vetermi** Story.
Bath, N. Y.. April 13th.—The first con
sideration of tno Commandant and Officers
in the conduct of the Soldiers’ and Sail
ors’ Home here, is the health of the Vet
erans. Kidney Troubles are the most com
mon cause of ailment, very few of the old
men escaping these in some form or other.
Of course the comrades d'o as much as
possible for themselves and one of the
most popular and_ useful remedies em
ployed is Dodd’s Kidney Bills which seem
to be almost infallible in cases of Kidney
derangements', indeed, there are among
the veterans, several who claim to owe
their lives to Dodd's Kidney Bills.
For 'instance, A. E. Ayers, who came to
the home from Minneapolis, Minn., was
given up by four doctors in that city. He
had Bright’s Disease and1 never expected
to live through it, but his life was saved
and his health restored by Dodd’s Kid
ney Bills.
Ilis experience has made the remedy
very popular among the men and no one
who has used Dodd’s Kidney Bills for any
Kidney Trouble has been disappointed.

It must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces
sary to enable the best of the products of
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for world-wide
preeminence unless they meet with the
general approval, not of individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commendation, consequently,
becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the well in
formed of all countries the method of
manufacture must be of the most per
fect order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind. The above is true
not of food products only, but is espe
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family laxatives. Its quality is
due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin
ative principles of plants known to act
most beneficially on the system and pre
sented in the form of a pleasant and re
freshing liquid, but also to the method
of manufacture of the California Fig
Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformi
ty and purity essential in a remedy in
tended for family use. Ask any physi
cian who is well informed and he will
answer at once that It is an excellent
laxative. If at all eminent in his pro
fession and has made a special study of
laxatives and their effects upon the sys
tem he will tell you that it is the best
of family laxatives, because it is sim
ple and wholesome and cleanses and
sweetens the system effectually, when
a laxative is needed, without any un
pleasant after-effects. Every well-in
formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel
lent laxative and is glad to sell it, at
the regular price of fifty cents per bot
tle, because It gives general satisfac
tion, but one should remember that ir
order to get the beneficial effects oi
Syrup of Figs it is necessary to buy thi
