TEN MILLION PEOPLE
IN THE CANADIAN
V/ESTBY1920
"Toronto Star , " Dec. 16th , 1910.
ll The prediction is made that before
[ 1920 Manitoba , Saskatchewan , Al-
"foerta and British Columbia will have
; ten million people. It is made not by
a sanguine Western journal but by
that .very sober business newspaper ,
the New York Commercial. It is
based upon actual observation , upon
the wheat-growing capacity of the Canadian -
-nadian West , and upon the prospects
-of development following the build-
dng of railways. The writer shows
liow the position of leading wheat
market of the world passed from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis and. thence
to Winnipeg. Canada's wheat-grow
ing belt fs four times greater than
that of the United States , and only
live per cent of Canada's western agri
cultural area is under cultivation.
'There are 170,000,000 acres of- wheat
'lands which will make these Western
Province * richer , more populous , more
dependable for food supplies than the
"Western States can ever become. The
-center , ot food supremacy will change
to Canada , , and 25 years tdore will
ive this country 40,000,000 popula
tion west of Ontario.
All these estimates of population
: are in the nature of guesses , and must
-not be cead too literally. But the
enormous area oC wheat-growing land ,
the rapid construction of railways ,
3ind fiie large volume ol immigration
-are facts which must be recognized.
They point to the production of an
-ever-increasing surplus of wheat and
-other cereals. , However rapidly > the
Durban , the industrial' and commercial
-population of Canada may increase ,
-the increase of home consumption Is
3iardy likely to keep pace- with that
of the production of wheat ; fora sin
gle aero of wheat will provide for the
average annual consumption , of four
people.
While production in Canada1 Is thus
xunnfag ; ahead of consumption , at a
-prodigious rate , consumption In , the
TJni { d States is overtaking production -
tion , and the surplus for export is
arrowing smaller year by year. It is
true that the limit of actual power to
produce wneat is as yet far away.
IBy methods of intensive cultivation ,
rsuch as prevail in France , the produc
tion could be greatly increased. But
-with the overflowing granary of Can
ada so close at hand , it seems likely
that our neighbors will begin to import -
port from us. turning their own. en
ergies more largely to other forms of
agriculture.
ft It must be remembered that while
-the Northern States resemble Canada
In climate and products , the resem
blance diminishes as you go south
ward. The wheat belt gives place tea
: a corn belt , and this again to semi-
iropfcal regions producing cotton , to-
"baccp , cane-sugar , oranges and. other
tropical fruits.
The man \vho secures a farm in
"Western Canada at the present time
-secures an investment better than the
"best of bond of any government or
"hank. It is no unusual thing for a
-farmer in Western Canada to realize
profit of from $5 to $10 per acre.

ssteads of 160 acres each still to be

TO REOPEN BALUNBE8 CASE
SENATOR PURCELL WOUL *
FORCE VOTE ON REPORT.
declares He Will Press Resolution tC
Have Findings of Investigating
Committee Balloted On.
Washington. A resolution was In
troduced in the senate by Senator Purcell -
cell oi North Dakota looking to a re
newal of the fight on Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger.
The resolution seeks to force out
into tfoe open the report of the joint
congressional committee that investi
gated the charges made against the
cabinet officer by Gifford Pinchot , for
mer chief forester. The report has
been in the possession of both the
senate and house for some time , but
no action has been taken on it , both
branches apparently being willing t
let the matter remain as it is.
The resolution in part reads :
"It is the sense of the senate that
the findings and conclusions reported
by certain members of said cemmlt-
tee to the effect that Richard A. Bal
linger , secretary of the Interior , ha *
not been true to the trust reposed in
him as such secretary , that his ad
ministration of that office has been
marked by a lack of fidelity to the
public interests and that he Is not
deserving of public confidence acf
should no longer be retained IB thai
office , are based upon and in substan
tial conformity with the evidence r
ported by the committee. "
Senator Purcell is a member of the
Balllnger-Pinchot investigating com *
mittee and in response to an inquir )
he sa'id that it was his purpose to
press the resolution to a vote if pos
sible.
NO PROOF OF CORRUPTION
Senator Burrows , Chairman of the In *
vestlgatlng Committee Defend *
Lorlmer In Debate.
Washington. "ThereIs absolute ? }
no proof in the case , direct or Indirect ,
from which a legitimate inferenct
could be drawn that a single metabei
of the general assembly was cerrnpfe
ly influenced to vote for Mr. Lori'
mer. "
This was the conclusion of Senator
Burrows in a speech in the senate
Wednesday defending the right of
Senator William Lorimer to his seat
in the senate.
After summarizing the testimony of
Witnesses White , Link , Beckemeyer
and Holstlaw , Senator Burrows de
clared that "it is obvious that there
ts nothing In the statement * of any
one of them or la the statements of
all of them taW * together , which
would justify a conclusion that theii
testimony as to bribery Ms true , or
could be relied upon in a matter oC
even minor Importance. "
In introducing his speech , Senatoi
Burrows reminded the senate that it
was a court of 92 judges and that no
member of that tribunal should "per
mit his judgment to be warped by
public clamor , however boisterous , or
private appeals , however potential
and commanding. "
"The labors of the committee , " said
Senator Burrows , "were greatly light
ened and the scope of the investiga
tion materially curtailed by , the ad
mission of counsel for the. prosecution
that It was not expected to connect
Senator " "LorImer" with any acts of
bribery. With this avowal there was
no evidence submitted to the commit'
tee , or obtainable so far as known , in
culpating Senator Lorimer in the bri
bery or attempted bribery , If such
there was of any member of the legis
lature. "
The testimony of Charles A. White ,
a member of the Illinois legislature ,
who charged bribery la the election
of Senator Lorimer , came 1m for se
vere denunciation by Senator Bur
rows.
At the conclusion of Senator Bur
rows' address , Senator Borah of Idaho
obtained the floor and summed up the
evidence to the contrary. In order that
at a later date he might proceed with
his argument in favor of Senator Bev-

A great mistake that many dairy

HOW TO CLEAN THE METALS
Ua.S it and Iroken Egg thtll * on
Kh m led Pans and Soda on
Galv nlx d Baths.
Enameled pans should bo steeped ,
the soot removed and then washed
with hot water , any burned parts being -
ing removed by rubbing them with a
coarse flannel dipped in salt and
broken egg shells. Then rinse well
and dry both Inside and out.
Galvanised baths and the like
should be rinsed out with hot watez
and soda directly after they are used.
To clean them thoroughly scrub well
-with soap and water , to which soda
has been added ; dry and then rub
with a piece of house flannel dipped
first In. paraffin and then In silver
sand or powdered bath brick until
bright. Rinse first In hot and then In
cold water and allow to dry In a
draft in order to remove the smell
of the paraffin.
Tin can be cleaned with whiting
mixed to a stiff paste with water or
ammonia , but all the powder must
be brushed off when dry. Another
metkod is to sllc * down thinly four
ounces of yellow soap and pour over
on * quart of cold water. Allow this
to stand for a day In order to dissolve.
Then add a pound of the best whit
ing , bring It all. to a boiling point ,
keeping It well stirred , so as to Insure
all being properly mixed ; then leave
it until cold , when two ounces of
spirits of hartshorn are added. Keep
this mixture In tightly corked bet
tles.
tles.Wash zinc thoroughly with warm
water. After rubbing It dry rub again
with a cloth dipped In either paraffin
'or turpentine.
English Buns.
One cake of least , three-fourths cup
lukewarm milk , one quart sifted flour ,
four eggs , one-half cup butter , five
tablespoons sugar , one-half teaspoon
salt , three tablespoons chopped al-
moads. Sift flour and salt into bowl ,
make well in center , break eggs in
whole , then add the butter mnd the
milk In which the yeast has been dis
solved. Mix thoroughly with a mixing
spoon and set aside to rise In a warm
place , free from draft , for one and one-
half hours. When light turn out on
floured kneading board , sprinkle with
sugar and chopped almonds and work
them Into the mass thoroughly by
drawing the tips of the fingers light
ly and quickly through the dough.
Do not knead , then drop by table
spoons , half an inch apart , into
greased baking pans , let rise for ten
minutes and bake for 20 minutes in a
hot oven. The whole process takes
about two hours and ten minutes.
This recipe will make two dozen buns-
Kitchen and Pantry.
In making cakes , whatever eggs are
to be used should be added after all
the ingredients are well mixed. By
observing this rule two eggs will be
found to go as far In enriching the
cake and making it light as three
would if added at an earlier stage of
the preparation.
A teaspoon of salt in the water in
the outside vessel of a double boiler
will raise temperature of the con
tents of'the Inner vessel. A cereal
may > be made to boil in this way with

Baked Carrots.
These ace very nice and very nour
ishing , simple and inexpensive : Take
3 or 4 good-sized carrots and 'cut Into
dice ; put over a moderate fire in
slightly salted water and simmer gent
ly ( don't boil hard ) until very tender ;
drain off all the water , then mash fine
and season with salt , pepper and a
little butter ; turn into a deep pud
ding dish and cover with fine cracker
or bread crumbs ; sprinkle a little salt
and a dust of pepper over and 3 .or 4
Jny bits of butter ; put into a good
oven and bake until the crumbs are
\ delicate brown ; serve hot.
To Utilize Pieces of Soap.
Small pieces of toilet soap should bt
saved from the soap dishes , and when
a sufficient quantity has ben collected
It should be cut into shavings and dis
solved In boiling water. Measure the
soap , and to each cupful put two cupfuls -
fuls of water. When the soap Is dis
solved , add enough fine oatmeal to
make a stiff batter. The mixture is
then turned Into molds , and when dry
ziakes an excellent soap for the skin.
Removing Candle Grease.
When candle grease drops nsuallj
the first thought is to scrape it off with
a knife , so the grease wfll not harden ,
but if a heated knife is used the re
moval oC grease will be quick and thor

Take off as much grease as will
come the first time , then scrape off the
rest with a hot knife. Wipe the knife
each time It is lifted from the grease
spot.

This is better than the hot Iron and

Dumplings.
Two cups flour , 2 teaspoons baking
powder , a little salt. Sift three times.
Mix with milk. Put into boiling stew.
Cover the kettle with"a white cloth ,
then put on the cover and hold it
down with weights to keep out the
air. Allow 20 minutes of hard boil
