Where it Pays to Trade
CANADA
IS SL1PP
AWAY FROM ENGLAND IN
SENTIMENT AND IN FACT
Tills la the Opinion of Cy Wurman,
tlie Correspondent, Now in Alber
ta He Finds Many Things Hap
pening I'pon Which to Base the
Assertion That Loyalty to the Brit
ish Crown Is Perfunctory and Is
Being Outgrown by the Natives.
Cy Warman, the American corres
pondent, in a recent letter to the
Spckesnian-Revlew of Spokane from
A'.berta says:
The growing friendliness between
the people of the stutcs and the peo
ple of Canada is being "viewed with
alarm" In England by Englishmen
who have never crossed the Atlantic.
"Anyway," said a Canadian daily the
other day, "Root got a warmer wel
come in Ottawa than Alvestan would
find."
Canadian school teachers go out of
their way to tell the children that
"America Is a great country and Am
ericans gTeat people."
"The British had no business in
South Africa," said a little boy to me
yesterday.
"Who told you that'" I asked, and
the little boy, who goes to a Canadian
school, answered, "My teacher."
I found by further questioning that
be had been told the Boers were a
little people, patient, plodding, but in
the way, and so the Kngllsh had ar-
rogantly rubbed them out, And this
picture ho had from a native Cana
dian teacher. Native born Canadians
do not like the English. Scotch-Ca
radians refer to themselves, half In
jest but more than half In earnest,
a "superior British." The French
and the Irish positively disclaim
them. Only the most heroic English
settlers survive the three years neces
sary to prove up on a homestead in th
northwest.
"Tims change, and our prejudices
pass with the passing years," said a
leading lawyer and a K. C. My peo
ple were U. E. loyalists and I'm an
annexationist, or would be If there
was any hope of annexation."
British BKmln' Blunderers.
"Wh?" I asked, for the annexa
tionist Is a rare bird in Canada today.
"Oh," he answered wearily, "the
RrttfRh nr such hlaomln' blunderers.
They blunder below the line and they
blunder here. They fail utterly to
understand Canada, and their nervous
chatter about the Americanization of
the Canadian west makes them ridic
ulous. Moreover," he continued,
"H. R. M. Is out of place on this con
tinent as much as a fish ashore."
Prttlse'y as a big hoy coming of
fige longs to cut loose from the old
folks to try Jt alone; to be his own
b-ss and boss his own jobs, doth this
Dominion of Canada, merging Into
manhood, as it were, fret to be free
from England, to run up a banner of
its cwn and to blossom out as a na
tion. Some millions of Canadians
know this, thousands will admit It,
hundreds have.
Thl feeling has been growing
steadily for 10 years. Naturally,
Canada ran never become a kingdom.
so trere Is a dream In the working
hours of present-day statesmen of a
republic fashioned after that of
Switzerland The American republic,
onse so haughty and arrogant when
dealing with Canada, Is coming more
and more to respect the big men of
the dominion. Canadian papers are
ful' of nice things about America and
Americans. The governor of Kings
ton was more severely criticized
above than he nwis below the border.
Growing Sympathy Townrd America.
Serious statesmen In England know
the dominion Is drifting, and every
little while something happens to era-
phaslzo the fart that she Is not drift
ing frcm the United States little
things like the speech last year of the
Hon. Joseph H. Choate to the Cana
dian club at Ottawa, and the more
recent, and vastly more Important,
visit of Mr. Root. Lord Grey goes to
New York: the minister of Justice and
his wife go to dine at the 'White
House to n.eet the American supreme
court. But more than all, these lit
tle exchanged tails and the constant
streams of sturdy Americans to the
Canadian west have helped to con
vince Canadians that, there Is, after
nil, little difference between the peo
ple cf the republic and the people of
the great colony.
They see these Americans coming
In, settling down, sowing and reaping
and rejoicing In the almost unpre
cedented prosperity, accepting things
as they are, respecting the laws of
the land and the customs of the
country; in short, behaving precise
ly as the millions of Canadians have
behaved who have crossed the boun
dury for the same reason that brings
Americans and many former Cana
dians to Canada a desire to better
their condition. This steady stream
that still flows across the New Eng
land frontier, sweeps through the
middle west and back Into Canada,
east of the Rockies, is the great mix
er that Is slowly but surely making of
Americans and Canadians one people.
The men who are steering the ship
of state are heading for the open sea
of absolute Independence.
T
DIVIDENDS
SUEZ CANAL PAYS BETTER
THAN THE CHARTER ALLOWS.
Reduction In Tolls Have Been Made
In Order to Kepj tho Profits Inside
of 23 Per Cent Few Supposed the
Venture Would Ever "Pny" Food
for Speculation nnd Comparison by
All Interested In tlio Panama Canal
us a Business Umlcrtnkliig.
The Irony of commerce Is typified
nt Suez. Years ago practical mer
chants nnd economists were sure
the great canal would never be made
to pay profits, If even operating ex
penses. Yet It has been necessary
more than once materially to reduce
the rate of tolls and thus to reduce
the receipts of the canal In ord-r to
keep the yearly net profits within the
maximum of 25 per cent permitted
by the charter. The latest of such re
ductions was made, we believe, In
1905, the net (profits of the preceding
year having amounted to 26.2 per
cent', and the latest redujIUon before
He Fired the Stick.
"I have fired the walking stick I've
carried over 40 years, on account of
a sore that resisted every kind of
treatment, until I tried . Bncklen's
Arnica Salve; that has healed the
(ore and made me a happy man,"
writes John Garrett, of North Mills,
N. C. Guaranteed for Piles, Burns,
etc., by Tallman ft Co., druggists.
25 cents.
It may be doubted, then, whether
It will be practicable to "remove" the
canal tolls altogether until the con
cession for the canal expires, 61
years hence. Further reduction, how
ever. Is probable. Indeed, It may be
regarded as certain with the Increase
of commerce. In 1S70 the tonrfage
was only 436,609. and the rate'wns
12.60 a ton. In 1905 It was 13,134,
105, and the rate was $1.55 a ton.
And trade with the east Is advancing
by leaps and bounds.-
The example Is not to be disre
garded by ourselves In the promotion
of our Tanama canal. How the lat
ter will compare with Suez as a high
way of trade and travel Is problem
atic. Some have thought It will much
surpass Suez In volume of commerce,
while others, with equal assurance,
take the opposite view. Rut at least
the disappointment of prophecies of
failure at Suez may hearten us to look
for a like disappointment of like
prophecies at Panama, and the record
of marvellous .success at Suez may
give ground for confident expectation
of success at Panama, with ever In
creasing traffic and decreasing tolls.

TIRED AND SICK
YET MUST WORK
M&n miv work from sun to sun
but woman's work is never done,"
In order to keep the home neat
and pretty, the children well dressed
and tidy, women overdo and often
suffer in silence, drifting' along from
bad to worse, knowing well thai
they ought to have help to overcome
the pains and aches which daily
make life a burden.
It is to these women that Lrdls
E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots and herbs,
comes as a blessing. When the spir
it m r ftnnMitud ihw head and back
aches, there are drsgging-aown pains, nervousness, sleeplessness,
reluctance is go anywhere, these are only symptoms which unless
heeded, are soon followed by the worst forma of Female Complaints. .
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
keeps the feminine organism ina strong and healthy condition. It cures
Inflammation, Ulceration, displacements, and organic troubles. In
preparing for child-birth and to carry women safely through ths Change
of Life it is most efficient.
Mrs. Augustus Lyon, of East Earl, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pink
ham: "For a long time I suffered from female troubles and hadall kinds
MRS. AUG. LYON
of aebaa end pains In the lower part of back and sides, I could not
sleep end had no appetite. Since taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound end following the advice which von gave me I feel like
sew women end I eannot praise your medicine ten highly."
Mrs. Pinkham's Invitation to Women

that had been In 1903. That another
reduction of perhaps a franc a ton
will have to be made a few years
hence to keep within the limit Is con
fidently expected.
Of course, low as It Is In compari
son with the original rats, lhe present
tariff of 7 francs 75 centimes a ton
is a considerable charge upon com
merce, and only a few weeks ago the
Austrian government expressed a
wish that it might he reduced, a desire
which met with little encouragement
from the home government.
But now the Interesting statement
Is made by the chancellor of the ex
chequer that he will be glad to co
operate with any practical proposals
"for removing or reducing" the tolls.
He does not say, of course, that he
expects to remove or to reduce them, i
or that he knows of any practical pro
posals to that end. But Mr. Asquith,
particularly hard-headed man of af
fairs that he Is, would not have made
such a statement unless he regarded
reduction and even entire removal of
tolls as within the limits of possibil
ity. There Is. of course, this para
mount consideration to be dealt with
that the canal Is the property of a
company of shatcholders, In which
French Interests predominate.
Nothing can well be done without
the assent of the shareholders, and
while they must, of course, keep their
dividends within the prescribed limit,
they can not be expected voluntarily
to renounce all further profits nnd to
throw the canal open freely to tho
traffic of the world nr.d In addition
,o nmlntnln It In good condition' at
their own expense. That sort of
thing might be done on the canals
of Altrurla or even those of Mars,
but not at Suez nor either east or west
of that magic meridian.
What would be necessary for the
freeing of the canal, then, would be
for some government or governments
to buy out the shareholders' Interests
and present the waterway as a free
gift to the comerclal world. Natural
ly, If any government were to do that
It would have to be the British. That
Is because, whllo Great Britain Is only
a minor shareholder In the canal
that she Is even that thanks are due
to BunJamliK Disraeli and Frederick
Greenwood British commerce Is by
far the greatest In the traffic of the
canal. Nearly two-thirds of all the
commerce which passes through the
cannl Is British. Wherefore If French
capital built the canal British com
merce has made It profitable end has
paid the dividends. So It Is suggested
that tho British government might
find It worth while for tfio promotion
of commerce to free British ships
from tolls by paying them Itself. That
would undoubtedly be a great boon
to British shipping.
, But that It will be granted may
well be doubted. A government which
In time of peace Is compelled to main
tain the Income tax at war time rates
and which is plnnnlng a scheme of j
old age pensions Is scarcely prepared '
to assume so enormous nn expense for !
the sake of an Industry which is In as
flourishing a state as - British com
merce. The $12,000,000 a year or
more which would be needed for that
purpose would materially affect the
British budget. And, of course, Ger
many and other competing nations
would Immediately follow the exam- j
pie, ana mus aepnve iiruisn snipping
of the special advantage.
Finding Water In Western Crook.
A driver on the Bend stage brought
the good news last Friday that water
had been struck In the well being
drilled at Redmond, at a depth of 400
feet At that depth a strong flow of
water was encountered, and at last
account there was 30 feet of water
standing In the well, and this had
not been lowered after pumping con
tinuously all day. From this It Is evi
dent that the flow of water la per
manent, and that the supply is great
enough to supply the residents of
Redmond for all household purpose.
The lock of a supply of good, pure
drinking water has been a gTeat
handicap, and It Is good news that
this difficulty has passed.
The success of the well drilling op
erations in the Redmond sectlomwlll
also greatly encourage those who are
trying to solve the water problem In
this section. The character of the
country Is almost Identical, as to its
geological formation, and there is no
reason why success should not also
crown the efforts of those who are
drilling In this locality, although It
may be necessary to go a 100 feet or
so doepcr here. Madras Pioneer.

The shipment of 1500 head of range
cattle was commenced today by Bales

Camas prairie country, says the Lew
Iston Teller. The cattle are being
shipped to landing Rock N. D.,
where they will be grazed on the
reservation range. The cattle are sold
to North Dakota stockmen, and It la
probable Bales & Jones will make
another shipment to tho same plnce
later In the season, but will probably
buy in southern Idaho nnd eastern

made was secured from stockmen In
