CANADA'S CENSUS
* THIRTY-TWO PER CENT' IN
CREASE IN THE PAST TEN
YEARS.
That Canada has come rapidly to
the front in the past ten years is am
ply shown in the results of the census
recently made public. The population
of the Dominion is now placed at
7,081,869 , which with outlying points
to be heard from , may bring it up to
7 % millions as compared with 5,371-
315 in 1901. Though these figures are
large , they do not present a total as
large as was expected but they do
show a greater Increase of percentage
in population for the decade than any
similar increase in the United States.
The highest percentage ever reached
, by the Republic was 24 % ; the per
centage of increase in Canada for the
decade is 32 % . Thus it will be seen
that the provinces west of\ the lakes ,
Tvith the great broad fertile acres
ready for the sowing and immediate
reaping of grain and the Valleys of
British Columbia capable of producing
fruit with which to supply its neigh
boring provinces east of the moun
tains , have attracted numbers , which
has exceeded the most optimistic of
the expectations of ten years ago.
t Upon the prairies of the ten years
ago there was but a spare scattering
of people ; but today , no matter in
which way you go , take any direction ,
and you find homes and farms and
good ones too , occupied by the very
best class of people in good sized set
tlements with plenty of room for five
or six times as many more. The pop
ulation of Alberta is set down at 372-
919 , as compared with 73,022 in 1901 ;
Saskatchewan 453,508 as compared
with 91,270 in 1901 ; Manitoba's 454-
< 591 compares well with its 255,211 in
'
901 ; and so does that of British Co
lumbia 362,768 as against 178,657 in
j901 ; but in a territory as large as
this a population of 1,643,000 is little
more than discernible in point of num
bers. The work through it has been
great. Look at the towns that have
been built up ; its cities , Winnipeg
with 135,000 ; Vancouver with upwards
of 100,000 ; Calgary with 43,000 ; Ed-
inonton , Regina , Saskatoon ; Leth-
bridge ; Medicine Hat , Moosejaw ,
splendid cities none better any
where ; well maintained and equipped.
These have come with existence and
been built as they have been-built by
reason of the splendid agricultural
country by which they are surround
ed. The population is scarcely dis
cernible. A population ten or twelve
times that shown by the recent
census could be easily maintained in
even greater wealth than that which
maintains the present numbers. There
is certainly a wonderful future for
Western Canada and that which goes
to the development of the west will
enrich the last. This is the growing
time in Canada and what has been
done in the past ten years is but a
beginning. The next decade will
show a far greater advancement. In
the meantime Canada is bidding w el-
come the progressive and industrious
citizen. The invitation is a standing
one. At the forthcoming land exposi
tion in Chicago , Canada will have one
of the best exhibits of farm products
that has ever been made and it will
be well worth while inspecting it and
getting information from those who
jnay be in charge.

AS TIPPLERS
British Reformers Present Some
Startling Facts.
Most Remarkable Development of All
Is Way In Which Those From
Middle Class Patronize the
Public Houses.
London. Once more the ultra tem
perance folk of England are "appalled
by the growth of the drinking haolt
among society women , " and as if this
were not bad enough the Band of
Hope conference at Swansea is fairly
aghast at the increase of tippling
among women of the middle classes.
Samuel Manger , one time postmas
ter general of Australia , while deplor
ing the fact that the society woman
drinks , says that as a rule she is care
ful not from any particular morality ,
but as a matter of expediency and to
preserve her looks and that , more
over , she usually confines herself to
choice wines and liquors. It is the
middle class woman who has become
the "dram drinker. "
j Quoting the vicar of a select residential -
dential London suburb , Mr. Manger
1 declares the reverend gentleman said :
j "If only you could see into the draw-
j ing-rooms of my well-to-do parishion-
j ers you would find In 75 per cent , of
j them women , In many cases young
! girls , sitting round playing bridge ,
i smoking and drinking whisky , and
soda.
j "Go Into any restaurant patronized
, by the middle classes , " said Mr. Man
ger , "and you will see well-dressed
women and even young girls drinking
spirits , not only at dinner , but at
luncheon. "
As if this were not sufficiently
shocking , the announcement is made
that "the most remarkable develop
ment of all is the way in which mid
dle-class women patronize public
houses. " In London we are told the
womenklnd of even professional and
business men make free use of the
"pubs , " while thirty years ago the
upper middle class woman rarely
touched wines , and spirits not at all ,
and would have been ashamed of her
self if seen in a public house.
According to the reformers , this re
markable change In the customs and
tastes of the middle class women is
the outgrowth of the practice of din
ing at restaurants. Society set the
| fashion of restaurant meals and the
middle class women followed their ex
ample , finding in whisky and soda at
the "pub" a convenient medium be
tween the expense of wine and the
plebeanism of beer.
The hotel smoking lounge , too. we
are told , has made dram drinkers of
many women. Formerly , according
I to the temperance folk , if a man stay-
j ing at a hotel wanted to smoke he
went to the smoking room , but now he
I joins the ladies in the lounge and if
j he feels inclined to have a drink he
naturally asks his fair companions to
join him , and the modern woman
makes no bones about asking for a
i "peg" or a "whisky and. "
; After declaring that drunkenness In
! a woman is much harder to cure than
in a man. Mr. Manger announces that
of 3.031 persons admitted to inebriate
reformatories during the last few
years no fewer than 2,548 were worn-

Discover New Diamond.
New York.
Australian diamonds are
the latest novelty in the Maiden lane
jewelry district. They are declared
by experts to be of fine quality. Hun-
dreds of these diamonds were obtained
in the space of a few hours in an extinct -
tinct volcano in the northern part of
New South Wales , and were extract-
ed from the loam by the primitive
method of hand sifting the sands in
a tub of water. About twenty speci
mens were sent here for private exhi
bition.
OCTOBER 24 , under the direction of James W. Witten of the department
of the Interior , the lands of the Rosebud Indian reservation were
awarded to settlers by lot There were 18,014 registrations , and the town
of Gregory , S.'D. , where the drawing took place , was thronged with hope
ful people from all parts of the country. Our illustration shows , above ,
some of these would-be land owners in the main street of Gregory , and be

who could not find sleeping quarters in the town.
Monster Struggles Desperately to Free
Itself From Shoals Into Which
High Tide Carried It.
Atlantic City , N. J. A GO-foot whale ,
weighing seven or eight tons , churned
the sea into foam off Fourth street ,
Ocean City , the other1 morning as it
struggled desperately to free itself
from the shoals into which he tiad
been carried at high tide by the
waves. Spray was dashed up 30 and
40 feet as the whale whipped the sea
with sweeps of iris powerful tail , and
for three hours , while the tide was
falling , hundreds of persons watched
the mammal's dying struggles. ,
Surf men from the Ocean City life
saving station rushed their craft into
the water and cautiously ventured
near , but rowed away in fright as the
monster threshed about wildly. They
Covered close until the whale weak
ened from his struggles.
Then , as the whale , after a last des
perate convulsion , surrendered , the
government men roped him. He was
dead when the men anchored his car
cass to the sands to prevent the sea
at high tide from wresting their prize
from them.
Low tide at noon enabled the
throngs to crowd about the whale and
photograph and examine the giant of
the ocean. He was pronounced to beef
of the bowhead sperm family , whose
value for oil is in the hundreds of
dollars.
The life savers , who held that his
body is their property , through dis
covery and capture , will sell the car
cass to a syndicate , which plans to
exhibit it in one of the metropolitan
cities.
PpWER OF AUTOMATIC RIFLE
Swedish Inventor's Device Makes Or
dinary Infantryman Much More
Formidable In Battle.
London. A Swede named Svenson
claims to have invented a new auto
matic rifle which may do away with
machine guns on the field of battle ,
while the ordinary infantry soldier ,
armed with this weapon , would be
come much more formidable than he
is with his present eqpipment.
The new invention has ot only
been applied to rifles , but to fowling
pieces and other weapons. As regards
rifles , Mr. Svenson has invented two
kinds of appliances , one of which can
be used as an ordinary rifle and an
other as a machine gun. Mr. Svenson
claims that his weapon can at will be
made to perform both functions with
out its weight in any way being in
creased. It can be loaded either at
the breach or underneath by inserting
the cartridge magazine.
A company of infantry equipped
with the new rifle and forming a front
of 15 paces , can fire , it is said , 70
shots per second , or if fitted with a
larger magazine 240 to , 250 shots in
three seconds. A battery of machine
guns , consisting of feur 'pieces served
by 16 men. with their officers , would
occupy a front of 15 paces and fire un
der the same conditions only 32 to 95
shots , respectively , in the same space
of time.
In addition to this , machine guns
are difficult to transport , or to place
in position , or to hide from the enemy ,
which is not the case with the rifle
of the Svenson type.
The new weapon is about the same
.weight as the Mauser rifle , and has

the same kind of barrel , but its entire

Another advantage is its simplicity
of constuction , possessing , as it does ,
only seventeen movable parts , includ

LIVES ON 75 CENTS A WEEK
Aged Man Spends Four Pennies on
Newspapers After Buying Him
self Plenty of Food.
Philadelphia. An aged man who
looked young entered the office of
Karl De Scweinitz , executive secre
tary of the Pennsylvania Society for
the Prevention of Tuberculosis , and
after applying for work explained
just how he lived on an income of 75
cents a week.
His statement of expenditures dur
ing the last week follows : One-half
peck of potatoes , 18 cents ; 6 pounds
of onions , 24 cents ; two loaves of
bread , 10 cents ; one can of condensed
milk. 11 cents ; one soup bone. 8'
cents ; total. 71 cents.
Sometimes he gets a pound of rice
for nine cents instead of the soup
bone , and this lasts him two weeks.
The other pennies are spent for news
papers. .
He gave his name as Everard Star.
70 years old , of this city.
Get a Job Before Marrying.
Chicago. "Get a job and you can
wed" is the advice of Judgfe Plnck-
ney to a beardless youth whose plans
of eloping with his seventeen-year-old
sweetheart were frustrated by an irate
father.
Engineers measured the mammal
and declared that his bulk would in
dicate the weight as more than seven
tons , but he was a smaller stranger
from the Arctic seas than the one
which was cast up dead on the strand
about eighteen years ago in almost
the same place.
HIS WEDDING FEE BELATED
Clergyman Receives $20 Check Twen.
ty Years After Performing Ceremony -
" mony Was Short , of Funds.
New York. Rev. Horace D. Ferris ,
now pastor of a church in North Salem
and twenty years ago In charge of a
congregation at Quogue , L. I. , has just
received a fee of ? 20 for a wedding
that he performed at Quogue twenty
years ago. The couple whom he mar
ried are now living in Manhattan. At
that time of the marriage the bride
groom said he was short of funds and
asked the minister to wait for his fee ,
promising to send it as soon as he
could.
Mr. Ferris forgot all about the wed
ding long ago. He was astonished a
few days ago to receive a check for
$20 , accompanied by a letter express
ing the writer's regret at having kept
him waiting so long. It was only by
consulting his old records that the
clergyman was able to recall the cere
mony.

Black Canine Snarls , Growls and
Finally , on Battle Bent , Charges
Toward Show Screen.
Walla Walla , Wash. When the
stereotyped love play and impossible
wild west drama had been disposed o *
at the moving picture show here , so
realistic appeared the string of films
illustrating cuttlefish swimming and
disporting themselves that a black
dog which had laid quietly at his
master's feet during the progress of
the show for nearly half an hour for
got his surroundings and , conscious
only of the strange actions of the
creatures before his eyes , barked and
charged and retreated , growling and
showing such signs of anger and sus
picion as to require the service of an
usher to quiet him.
The dog paid no heed to the earlier
pictures showing human life and ac
tivities , but when the reel showing the
cuttlefish was thrown on he pricked
up his ears , and when the fish were
shown in the presence of enemies ,
darting hither and thither , and shoot
ing their black , inky fluid in jets
through the water , he sprang up and
rushed toward the platform snarling
and so determined to fight that he had
to be forcibly dragged away.
