Here are wo paragraphs from the current weekly finan
cial letter of Henry Clews, the Wall Street authority : "From
all parts of the country come favorable reports concerning
business activity. There, has been a large percentage increase
in, the production of copper, and in fact of all non-ferrous
metals, while the recent growth in steel and iron production,
already so well known, has continued to go forward. A re
cent notable advance in tanning and leather probably repre
sents the arrival of a period of recovery in this branch of
business. Exports are also increasing in a good many staple
lines, the proceeds of recent large foreign loans in this mar
ket being used to pay for purchases The favorable de
velopment of the various crops throughout the country still
proceeds, and private reports concerning the. prospects of
cotton are even more hopeful than had been expected a week
or two-ago. The! ; reports from the Northwest a3 regards
grain also indicate the probability of an even better produc
tion than had been forecast."

THE LAND HUNGER
"Fifty families from the state
of Oregon are treklng up in old-
time prairie Bchooners through
the Fraser valley, towards St
George, a rich farming district
in central British Columbia.
Their rate of progress is about
three miles an hour, and they an
ticipate being months on the
trail. The new land to which the
settlers are bound Is proving a
great attraction to United States
farmers, and it Is expected to ab
sorb five hundred colonists before
the fall."
The above is an item dated at
Vancouver B.C., in the current
weekly (bulletin of the depart
ment of colonisation and develop
ment of the Canadian Pacific
railway.
It is a very safe guess that,
within a few years, these fifty
families from the state of Oregon
would have been much better off
financially, socially, educationally,
and In most other ways that seem
worth while to a high state of
civilization
If instead of treking with their
pld-tjime prairie Bchooners into
far away central uruisn Colum

and nuts that can be produced

Democratic leaders claimed and
Republican leaders conceded,
that it would not be possible to
obtain for the motion the two

would limit debate on the bill
and its amendments to one hour
for each senator. Leaders were
hopeful, however, that out of the
move would come a unanimous
consent agreement for the limit
ing of debate, at least on the
less important items in the meas
ure. Negotiations looking to
such an agreement are under
way.
' If. the cloture move falls, con

steadily ahead. Whether there
will be a return to night sessions
may depend upon, the outcome of
