Farms are springing out of the ranges;, great herds giving way before the inevitable march of the settlers; virgin soil being turn- i ed on a thousand plains; railroads piercing the hitherto unoccupied land- to the northward; manufactures increasing; more aud larger elevators rearing their structures for the housing, of her grains. Her population increased from five millions in 1901 to seven'millions in 1911���and is fifty-five per cent, rural. She has 700,000 occupiers of land against 540,000 in 1901. Her government is spending $10,000,- 000 in aid of agricultural instruction. Her root and fovdder crop last year was valued at close to ��200,000,000, re founded on substantial basis. A panoramic view of the great wheat belt already referred to gives an excellent idea of the general topography of this vast region���a body of land embracing 270,000 square miles. The Canadian government is ready to give every adult 160 acres of this wheat land, and -with a view of cultivating shrubs and trees presents the settlers with the seedlings. Since January, 1897, Canada has given away 400,000 free homesteads Of 160 acres each��� and has seven V.~iar. that amount yet to give. In the foreground of this picture are! miniature homes, elevators, etc-, and tiny trains traversing back and forth on-their grain-carrying trade.

An orchard scene is a picture that causes the beholder to pause in wonder and admiration.

Perry Belmont predicts the downfall of the German Imperial government, which he describes as "modernized feudalism, heir in form and spirit to the despotism, of the iniquitous Holy Alliance."

The ?.~onroe Doctrine, says Mr. Belmont, was democracy's answer to the challenge of absolutism of the'. Holy Alliance. The doctrine, he says, is one of the most vital issues before the American people.

After this the "fiagman" of the day���a lad of -nine���takes his place at the door with a large Union Jack and the children file past him and form it circle round the old poplar tree which serves as a flagstaff. Two boys pull the flag iip while all heartily sing the first v_rso of "God Save the King." It is now time to begin the work ot the dr.y, and the children march Into school with happy hearts to wrestle with the difficulties of the t'-ree R's. "God Save the King." Yes, and long live such noble-hearted teachers as this young man in the little rural school. the allies had done so? Answering the assertion of his. correspondent that Germany did not begin the war, President Church uses these memorable words: "If G-erflnany is not guilty, then, in God's name, why are our armies in 'Belgium? Why -c-rc. they in' France? If you had waited until you had been attacked, you would never have found your nation at war. Your imperial chancellor says that you have vio- .lated international, law an-J. that you 'will endeavor to make good the wrong you are committing. Why, all the gold you could give to France and Belgium in a^thousand years, and all the penitential prayers you could Utter in every hour of a thousand years, together v.ith the', contrition; of .- shamed and broken heart, woiild uot repair your ruin of two nations by fire and slaughter, nor dry up the ocean of human tears which have accompanied your hideous invasion. People sometimes ask us* 'Would you rather have the Slav than the German? Arid the reply is always to the same effect: 'Yes; since we have seen the German at. war, we would rather have the Slav, rather the Turk, rather the Hottentot;"' Ii_ the opinion, of President Church, who has visited Ge-rmany, the war began potentially 25 years ago, when the Kaiser ascended, the throncj proclaimed himself Supreme War Lord and proceeded ��� to prepare his nation for war. His own children were raised from the cradle to consider themselves soidiers; "and liere in America we know even his daughter only by her photograph "���_.. a colonel's uniform." The man wearing the Kaiser's uniform became at once a member of an exclusive class, A waiter questioning a score with a drunken officer was stabbed to the heart; his uniform making a good defence. A man. in humble station who sought to greet with familiar approach a soldier now in officer's uniform^ was killed for his impudence, the murderer even writing a letter to his victim's mother justifying the crime. * "I have myself," says President Church, "seen German officers elbow gentlewomen on the street to make more room for- themselves. ��� 1 have seen others of them raise their glasses to the day when they would be at war." Another paragraph in the reply of Dr. Church to his German correspondent is worth quoting yjn full, for it expresses, as he declares, the opinion of the great masses of the American people:A ���'���'..��������� "And so, at last, we find ourselves shocked, ashamed and outraged that �� fllirietion _a_in�� <_l./.iil_ "ha mrnil+v of this criminal war.

The West Expanding Prairie Acreage and Railway Construction Figures ' The great importance' of railway construction in tho prairie provinces Is strikingly depicted in a.report recently published with respect to pro- gresr in this regard in Saskatchewan during tho past ten years.

Of this, the greater proportion was built in an easterly nnd wostcrly d-.eetlon,* tliat iu a northerly and southerly direction being composed mainly of branch linos, built as .feeders for tho main lines.

CRESTON, B.C., FRIDAY, SEPT. 17 Wi* In another column we have a letter from K. M. Winslow,' provincial horticulturist. We do not pub- xxk/xx xxi v___ -cvuuiiu vi i.o ii-vvo value ���������its entirely lacking in that respect���������but seemingly Mr. Winslow is of opinion that his epistle fully answers our "Bo They Stop?" editorial of September 3rd, aud under- the circumstances Keview readers are entitled to hear him out. In attempting to justify liis possible failure to arrange a stop at Creston, Mr. Winslow would have us believe it is all or account of the C.P.R. refusing to co-operate with him; the railway has refused to allow the regular train to stop here a couple of hours, and they have business men are expecting him to show them every possible worthwhile fruit-growing point. Creston is the one best bet in this respect in the Kootenays, and if Mr. Winslow has not gumption enough to at least enquire from some reliable on- the-spot authority if a stop at Creston is humanly possible,and if so to arrange accordingly, then the sooner the minister of agriculture gets this gentleman with the soothing- syrup cognomen into some less- iuiportant position so niuon t������e better for the province, in at least this respect. B ������_ Ii mJggsi***g M&i The Review came in for some adverse friendly criticism last week for printing the letter from K. Sinclair Smith, headed "A Strong Protest." We expected as much. Had Mr. Smith been anywhere in the neighborhood we would have returned him his manuscript, stating that suoh letters were not in the public nterest. But as he was several V_&������-ftfttftri.

Overlooking the cheap sarcasm Mr. Winslow attempts at- Creston's expense in discu^isg these features (something that should be. beneath the dignity of a man occupying the post of chief horticulturist) we -would draw attention to the fact that it isn't necessary tn ask the railway to hold the westbound express here at ail If the visitors come in on the regular trein we think Mr. Winslow could arrange with the C.P.R. to cut off the business men's cars here and have them taken on west by the freight train that is going through here every night about ten o'clock, which would get them into Nelson long before daylight next morning, and give Creston about six hours in which to show the tourists the Valley and otherwise dispense hospitality. If they are travelling on their own special train, of course, no special arrangements such as these will be necessary. While Mr. Winslow would have ns believe the market commissioner's report "does not make clear that they are going to stop at Nel- H'on" (nor at Grand Porks) we still are of opinion that Nelson is positively mentioned. If no stops are scheduled for Creston, Nelson or Grand Forkb why the run through the Kootenay and Boundary at the front end of the tour? It's too near in defense of the empire, knowing him to be a level-headed citizen and assuming he penned the article after mature deliberation���������under these extenuating circumstances we allowed him the use of our COiU"i_1_e_- or* _ - ?

Your money hack if goods are not satisfactory E /-apc'iYMir There are several reasons why parties situated as is Mr. Smith should hesitate to make the public statement he has just issued, but the principal one seems to be that no matter what "slander against "the dependants of some of the "men at the front" may have been brought to his attention he can only have heard one side of the story, and until he has fully investigated the "slander" the true Britisher that he is should observe the fine old English precept that a man ! must be held innocent until he is proven guilty. We might also add, too, that such a worthy fighter against the host of Prussianism should be the last to advocate the methods of the Huns in dispensing justice in such cases, as per Mr. Smith's ^remark "that the men who are punishing "the aggressors of French and Bel- "gian women will know exactly "how to deal with theni." So far as THE REVIEW is able to observe the dependants of every man at the front are held in the same esteem, socially, financially and in every other respect as they were prior to the troops' departure. If any person or persons is or are or have conducted a campaign of an election, if for no other reason, I slander against them Mr. Smith is starts in ' n his graveyard-filling rampage we suggest that he give due notice so that the local cemetery can be put in real good shape to receive his victims.

Some of these prospectors camped near the mouth of the river for the purpose of prospecting the banks of the rivei, Their arrival was not view- ed with a very friendly eye by the _n-Ji&ns on the reserve, "When Father Cocola arrived to work among them he told them that he had come to instruct and benefit them as much as possible. Among the prospectors who were scattered along, the shores of Kootenay Lake and the banks of the Kootenay river were many of his co-religionists. Naturally he paid them visits at diixer- ent times. The fact of his doing so coming to: the ears of the Indians gave rise to much discussion and alsO jeaiousy, as they looked upon. the priest as one who should devote his time to them alone. He was told by the chief and others of the tribe that if he continued to visit these white men trouble would ensue. Father Cocola,, however, kept on doing what his conscience told him was his duty, and his visits to the newcomers were continued. At this time Father Cocola dwelt in a small cabin which he had erected close to A the Indian reserve. Early bnemorning he saw the door open, ahd the chief entered without- knocking���������-for Indians never knock before opening a. door. He saw at a glance that it was the chief and that he was bent on mischeif, for his face bore a wicked scowl.

Cowed by the bearing of the priest the Indian dropped the axe and slunk out of the cabin.. For many years Father* Cocola lived and worked among these Indians, but his residence was changed to St. Mary's. Every two weeks, however, he paid a visit to the reserve. On the days, (generally Saturday) when he was expected, the railroad station at Creston, on - the C.P.R., was always crowded with Indians men women nnd children, and the adults always contended for the honor of carrying his satchel and. other-articles from the station to the guest's residence not far from the reserve. It was a wonderful exhibition of affection which those once ignorant savages exhibited towards this pioneer missionary to their reserve. On the conmencement of construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Father Cocola was chosen by Ihe chtu-ch authorities to proceed to Ft, St. James to look aftor the interests of the church and of tho Indians who resided in that vicinity Father Cocola, in addition to (usability as a, nii-nionary, isa capable business man. An illustration of liis busine-R acmncn, and also of his influence with the Indians, is afforded by the great St. Eugene silver-lead . mine, in East Kootenay. This mine was discovered by some of Father Oocola's Indian flock, who told tho priest about it. He disposed of it to the company which Jong worked it, and devoted the proceeds to his mission work. __������ li__^. j_JL.__ _^^������__. x_*4u__-_._-������- __-������ -^-OSt Canyon City, Sept. 14. Editor Review: Sib,���������Let us take stock and ascertain who is paying the cost of the war? If it is the duty of the man who has nothing else to give to offer his life, what is the duty of the man who has great wealth, or privilege to be defended? Let us do away with the present unjust syKtem under which the big interests enjoy the protection of the public whom, in many cases, they have robbed of their rights, and who bear the burden of their defence in extra taxation. But if this is too ambitions a programme let us make those who have most reason to favor a large army pay for it. Let lis tax the large landowners timber limit holders, and water power controllers, and other special privileges. .Every,time you lick a war tax stamp just stop and consider what amount of war tax you are paying compared with the Other fellow.

"I can't even get an observation then unless we have clear weather," I answered. "There'll be no clear weather today, I take it," said an old seaman standing with the other two. "I don't much think it," I assented. "Well, what do you advise than?" asked Pimball. "That we stand on slowly during the day and heave to at night, and if we can't get a shot at the sun stay hereabouts until the sky is clear and tha sun visible, then we will know just exactly what course to take and just what's best, to be done." The adviee was so self evidently good, in, fact the only practicable advice, that there was no hesitation in accepting it. The boatswain stepped, up to the horseblock, grabbed the trumpet and shouted his orders- Presently the ship -was hove to with the island well under lee, distant perhaps a league and a half or maybe .two leagues. Personally I should not havo hove to a ship on a lee shore- I shouhl not havo advised it, and indeed would have protested against, it had I not suddenly developed a plan���������a plan as desperately as ever came into miln's head.

The westerner ! who is accustomed to a light rain- ! fall watches the blossom or bloom j land, taking their cue from that,.; j many corn-belt I'armars have made j I the mistake of letting their crop get i | too far advanced before cutting. The j I bloom is not a safe guide in the corn j | belt, a much- better on. being the j growth that makes its appearance < j just above the crown of the old plant. ; ! - It is a simple matter to determine | ! just when alfalfa should be cut by ] | observing these young shoots. We ! do not refer to the suckers that sometimes grow spindlingly alongside of the old stems, says the Iowa Homestead, but, rather, to the new- buds that break out periodically from the old root. When tnis growth ranges in length anywhere from two to four inches it is then time to cut the crop, in the first place, alfalfa will cure into a palatable and nutritious hay if it is cut before the stems get woody, and, furthermore, if the cutting is done so that the young shoots are not severed, this means that the next crop will come ou with- m.- rlol--. ��������� ��������� -���������j . It is quita true that early cutting sometimes involves a difficult task in curing out the hay, because it is quite succulent at the time the new begin to make their start in life but. all things considered, it .will pay to cut rather than delay. If i'or any reason the second or third crop, as the case, may b3, should make a growth of five or six inches before the preceding crop is removed, then the cutter bar should be placed high enough so that the buds of the new- crop wil not be cut. It is better HOW THE (By William Harper < Dean, in the Country Gentleman) This is just a little story of' how a man and his wife have solved big problems; how a family of twelve is getting the best things out of life at less than cost; and why the man and his wife have concluded that Bountiful, Utah, was wisely named. Several years ago P- J. Sanders moved with his family from Kansas to Utah. Now Sanders has ten children of his own' and some thirteen hundred belonging to other people. You. see, he's the big. smiling daddy of Utah's boys' and girls' clubs. He was working with boys' and girls' industrial clubs in Utah before a single canning demonstration had been madte in that state. Then he got the department of agriculture's canning expert, O. H. Benson, to give just one demonstration. That, was enough. Sanders has taken care of canning in Davis county ever since. "Now, then," said Sanders to his wife, "I've been studying balanced rations for farm animals long enough- I'm going in for balanced rations for this family ot ours. I'm showing the club girls how it's done; let's organize another little club and call it 'Bountiful' for luck. Let's practice what I'm preaching." They did, and just to demonstrate how this family has solved the food probelm, how it lives on fresh vegetables and spring chicken .during the winter months, I'll give you Sanders' own account of what they accomplished last year. Remember, he has a very small place just on the edge of town. "My wife, daughter and myself took charge of stocking the larder," said Sanders. "Of course, some of the youngsters helped when they were not in school, but the three of us did most SOLVED FfOR FAMILY OF TWELVE or included. Total cost 52.70.

All _t cost to can them was thirty-six cent-.. At the store we should, have paife twelve'dollars for them. Another sa*?- ing of $11.64. >���������V ���������:. ; r A,;v '���������Fifteen."quarts of squash cost ve iorty-five cents. I_ bought at the store they would have cost ?2.25; savins, ���������H-80. Twenty-six quarts of beets coss. us seventy-eight cents: i don't know what tliey sell for at the store. Anc thirteen quarts o* small, tender ca_~ rots cost us thirty-nine cents. Tbe store doesn't handle -carrots. FortF- eight quarts of catsup cost us three cents a quart, saving us $10.56. For this catsup we used small tomatoes., which cost us nothing. "Chili sauce is good, especially when it costs just seventy-two cents for seventy-four quarts. And there were seventy-two quarts of preserved plunis, peaches, and apricots; four bushels .of apples for breakfast dishes:; fifteen quarts of apple-pie fining, fifteen quarts for apple dumplings; an& thirty-two quarts of Bartlett pears. On. these things our saving amounted te* about fifty per cent. Eighty-two quarts of rhubarb cost us five cents a quart- We saved $4.10 on this. "We had kept forty spritlg cockerels, until October, when we were offered forty cents apiece for them. But int- the glass jars they went���������:the whole forty, if we had kept them until now thsy would have eaten their heads o5 because of the high price of feed. But instead of our feeding them they are feeding us���������and incidentally saving us sixteen dollars. "In December, when quite a number of our fruit jars were empty, we kille_ ! of the work. Whan wre were through j three bogs and canned in glass jars and took inventory of our food supply j 215 pounds of their meat���������sausage. i- on the first crop rather than risk interfering with the growth of tiie succeeding crop. As. to the condition of the blo'om or blossom, instances have been called to our attention where alfalfa has reached the proper stage to cut without showing any signs of blooming- Thus it can be easily understood how a blunder might be made and one cutting thereby lost if one waited until the customary one-tenth of the plants were in blossom. Don't Grow Weeds Every Precaution Should be Taken to Rid Premises of Wesa's The unsighrly weed patches about the premises should be cut down before they seed to "make ranker crops for next year. Such weeds as spring up in the corners, nooks and uncultivated spots about the house and immediate .premises are offensive in' more ways than that of being unsightly; tliey furnish hiding places for vermin. Tho most expeditious way fo rid the the premises of these weeds is to uso the scythe where they can be thus reached. Where the scythe cannot bo utilized the pruning hook or boa may bo brought, into service; or, with gloved bunds to prevent, poisoning, the wcod������ may be pulled up from the extreme nooks and corner-. 11', after being thus disposed of, there in any coti_ldoi.iblo covering of tlio woedn on tlio ground thoy should bo removed from the yard or.promises, as they will create a uliino tn decaying and give out a disagreeable odor.

Sometimes an irreverent youngster may he heard to designate some one of conservative tendencies as " a regular old fossil," little knowing what he is talking about or to how beautiful and strange a child of nature he is referring. Rightly viewed, a fossil is a historical document carved hi .'tables;-of stone, of unimpeachable veracity and almost incredible age. To him who has eyes to see a fossil will Unfold a tale, so interesting that few other histories can vie with it, and so old that it laughs at such mere human attempts as the pyramids, or the palaces of Babylon, as things of yesterday. It is as if nature bethought herself how perishable all her work is; types vanish, specie and genera disappear; and are as if they never had been, yet shall something be saved for future generations to see what went before them. Thinking thus, nature, looks around and makes a generous selection, here a reptile eighty feet in length, there a- creature that only '."the microscope can reveal to mortal eyes, now a huge tree trunk and then a filmy fern, a butterfly's wing, a horny crab, an egg, a seed, or a delicate flower petal, nothing is too small or too great, if indeed nature is aware of such distinctions- Then she sets to work, i.ot to copy the model as a sculptor or a painter might do'���������no, she patiently removes the whole structure., grain hy grain, atom by atom, here a little and there a little, and as each molecule is remove! she replaces the perishable substance by something far more durable, using whatever she has at hand���������lime, sand ���������, or clay, to be afterwards baked and pressed in her laboratory for many thousand years. Each minute atom is replaced by another of its own exact form and size. This, process is carried out faithfully throughout "the entire structure, nothing is scamped, the most delicate filament is exactly reproduced, every curve or angle is as clear as in the original. When ail is finished, there is, let us say, an elegant ammonite or a dainty frond of seaweed, as exact a copy of the original as any photograph could produce, and saying plainly to those who have ears to hear, "Though you have found me at t__e _op That is the Usual Condition ef Persons Afflicted with Anaemia Anaemia is the medical term for poor, . watery blood. It may arise from a variety of causes, such as lack of exercise, hard study, improperly ventilated rooms or workshops, poor digestion, etc. The chief symptoms are extreme pallor of the face and gums, rapid breathing and palpitation of the heart after slight exertion, headaches, dizziness and a tendency to hysteria, swelling of the feet and limbs and a distaste for food. All these. symptoms may not be present, but any of them indicate anaemia which should be promptly treated with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

More than~ a thousand houses were burned by the Germans. Entire districts are: in ruins, among which wander sorrowing men and women, vainly searching for the todies of their dear ones who perished, victims of the barbarous warfare waged by the Germans. No wonder the people of Poland and Lithuania compare the German invasion to that of the Tartar hordes that burned-and destroyed everything in their path, only that the cultured Teutons go the savage Nomads of seven hundred years ago one better by sending off to Germany everything worth while.

My mother, who had been a former nurse of many years' experience, tried all that her knowledge suggested; tonics of various kinds were tried, and three doctors did their best for me, but without avail, and a continued gradual decline and death was looked for. "Later my parents decided to join my brothers in Canada, and it was confidently expected that the ocean voyage, new climate and new conditions would cure .me. For a time I did experience temporary benefit, but was soon as ill again as ever. I was literally bloodless, and the extreme pallor and generally hopeless appearance of my condition called forth many experiences of sympathy from friends whom we made in our new home in Acton, Ont. Later a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and although in a condition where life seemed to have little to hope for I decided to. do so. After using three boxes I began to mend.

U- lOtiii Sound Advice on the Care of Man's- Best Friend There is no time in the colt's life when he requires more generous feeding than 'during the first year after being weaned. The colt should have plenty of bone and muscles-making food. A small ration of oats and wheat bran should be given daily on pasture- The foundation of bone and muscle development must not be overlooked nt this time. A colt that is neglected at this time will never develop into the horse that he might have mado. It is found necessary to give the young colt cow's milk, it should be. diluted about half with water, and sugar added. Maro's milk contains less solids and mora sugar than cow's milk.

An Improved'Machine Gun A new type ' of machine, gun, an improvement on the 1904 model of the Maxim gun made by Hiram Maxim, Jr., of Hartford, Ct., has been adopted by the United States army. A model, which will be a standard for_the army, has already been constructed. This gun overcomes the difficulties of jamming experienced in both, the 1904 Maxim and the Benet-Mercier machine gun now used by the army, it being possible to fire 16,000 rounds without jamming. This has been ���������demonstrated by elaborate tests made in Texas. The new gun has already been adopted by the English army and is now being uped In the European war- In fact several improvements have been suggested as a result of its use in the present war and will ho incorporated in the new model. ' German Torpedoes According to the latast information, the newest German torpedoes heve a range of from 1,000 io 1,500 yards. Instead of carrying 250Tb or 3001b of guncotton or'other high explosive, the instruments have" a charge of but 1001b or less. Because of the shorter range and lighter weight, the ordinary intricate mechanism is simplified. Indeed, some of the propelling parts necessary in the greater^ torpedo are omitted. Probably the most valuable saving is in the time of construction.

Vast Empire Has as.Vet "Been Little Effected by the War Despatches from Berlin, carefully framed to create the impression that tliey originated in Russia, suggast that th? people are tired of the war and are likely to clamor for. peace if the Grand Duke Nicholas is forced to evacuate Poland and fall back upon, the line of the Bug. It requires only a glance at the map of Russia to see that the great"mass of the S'.i.v race are as remote from the sound of war's alarms as they would be.if they dwelt on another planet. The evacuation of all of Poland, and the retention by tha Germans of the portions of the provinces of Suwalki, Kovno and Courland now held by them, would give the Germanic powers a little under three per cent- of the area of Russia in Europe. When, they cross the Bug in pursuit of the Bear���������if they ever do���������the Germanic armies will still be 650 miles from Moscow, and to reach it must traverse the most aifficult country in Europe. But even were they to occupy Moscow, Russia would be uncon- quered still���������as Napoleon discovered a century ago���������so long as her will to fight remains and her western allies continue to supply her with munitions and war supplies. There are between thirty aud forty million men of service age in t.Ti_ Rus-i-_r_ 6__pire; Not -Tnovfi than one iu five of them has as yet been called to the colors. The Avar to the great mass of the people meari.o only the disappearance from their familiar places of ������. small portion ot tiie men who have had military training. ���������To- say that among the people there is a demand for peace is to presuppose that they have a grasp of the meaning and scope of the war and l-irow how it is progressing.- The Intellectuals and the .Bureaucrats are doubtless no less well informed than the average man iii western Europe-as to what is happening, bht unquestionably the bulk of the Russian peasants only know that the Little .Father' is having some trouble on the -western border of the empire, and that to prevent the soldiers who are helping him from talcing too much vodka* it has been found 'advisable to close the state dram shops. Russia is not yet a democracy, whatever she may become as the result of the changes war will inevitably bring, and the little group of men in Petro- grad who make war and peace on behalf of her swarming population arc as determined to see the thing through as Asquith or Kitchener. The war was begun because Russia refused to give up her small.Slav satellite, Serbia, to the unrestrained vengeance of Austria-Hungary. It \v411 be continued to a successful end becauso Russian statesmen know that a Teuton triumph now .would make the Balkan States the plaything of Germanic diplomacy, and the bridge across which the Teuton would pass to the ubs3cs- ison of a great empire in the Near East. Russia may be badly hammered during the next six months, but tho Bear will take It all standing up. Countless havo been the cures worked by Holloway's Corn Cure.

A coneus of the kind taken iu Western nations iias never been attempted tn China, and tho nearest approach to a reliable estimate is probably tho census of households (not individuals) takon by tho Chinese ministry of interior In 1010.
