ONE DOLLAR WHEAT. Western Canada's Wheat Fields Pro duce It—Magnificent Yields—Free Grants of Land to Settlers. The returns of the Interior Depart ment show that the movement of American farmers northward to Can- ! ada is pach month affecting larger areas of the United States. Time was, i says the Winnipeg Free Press, when the Dakotas, Minnesota and lowa fur nished the Dominion with the main bulk of its American contingent. Last year, however, forty-four states and districts were represented in the ofli- j cial statement as to the former resi- J dence of Americans who had home- I 6teads in Canada. The Dakotas still 1 head the list, with 4,00t5 entries, Min- ! nesota being a close second with 3,887, but with the exception of Alabama and Mississippi and Delaware every state ' in the Union supplied settlers who, in i order to secure farms in the fertile prairie country of Canada, became citizens of, and took the oath of al legiance to, the Dominion. Last year no less than 11,841 Americans entered : for homestead lands in Canada. From the Gulf to the Boundary, and ; from ocean to ocean, the trek to ths Dominion goes on. Not only the wheatgrowers of the central Mississip- j pi valley, but the ranchers of Texas : and New Mexico, and the cultivators of the comparatively virgin soil of Ok lahoma, are pouring towards the pro ductive vacant lands of the Canadian North-West. It is no tentative, half- j hearted departure for aa alien coun try that is manifested in this exodus; j it has become almost a rush to secure possession of land which it is feared, I by those imperfectly acquainted the vast area of Canada's vacant lands, ! may all be acquired before they ar rive. Tnere is no element of specula- | tion or experiment in the migration. ] The settlers have full information re- ! epecting the soil, wealth, the farming j methods, the laws, taxation and sys- < tem of government of the country to which they are moving, and they real ize that the opportunities offered in j Canada are in every respect better and i greater than those they have enjoyed in the land they are leaving. Canada can well afford to weleomo j cordially every American farmer com ing to the Dominion. There is no question but that these immigrants make the most, desirable settlers ob tainable tor the development of the prairie portion of the Dominion.

Y., Toronto, Can. j Beauty, Size and Sentiment of the World's pair It Is Larger and More Beautiful Than Any Other Exposition Ever Given. When President Roosevelt touched the electric key at the white house in Washington, which set in motion the machinery of the world's fair at St. Louis, he not only opened to the world the greatest display of the arts of peace the world has ever known, but he gave to the nation a tit climax of a century of growth or that vast territory west of the Mississippi—the Louisiana territory. When, at the swing of a lever, 90,000 j gallons of water per minute was re- : leased to flow over the beautiful cas- j cades in front of Festival hall, there , was completed the most beautiful ex-1 position picture the world has ever seen, a picture that will live in the j mind of every visitor to the great fair. ! Chicago had its Court of Honor, its ! stately palaces set against a back- ' ground of the blue waters of Lake [ Michigan; Buffalo had its wonderful illumination, its dusk of evening brightening into day again as the countless thousands of twinkling lights brought back the effect of the rising sun, but these pictures, beautiful as they were, have been surpassed by j the glory of the cascades, the foaming! waterway, rushing downward from the colonnades surrounding Festival hall,; to the great lagoons, with their myriad colors, intersecting the wonderfully j beautiful grounds in all directions. Just as this newest of expositions j JSjf 1 tJ&b&ML 112 yj '! Jij 111 11 rhprip mih FAI-.A<K OK I.IKKHAI, Ali'J'S, WITH UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BUILDING AT END UE DAUOON AT WORLD'S EAIK, ST. LOUIS. surpasses all others in beauty, so, also, i does it in size. One thousand two hun- ' dred and forty acres, literally covered with the treasures, the productions, the | curiosities of ...o world, tell the story of the fair in a sentence. No one vis- ] itor will ever see it all, though he 1 spent, the full time the exposition is open at the task. An exposition which cost $50,000,000 before its gates were j opened to the public; an exposition to which 52 nations from all cor ners of the world have sent their best for the people of the world | to look upon; an exposition two miles ! long and one mile wide; an exposition that is twice the size of any other to which the public were invited; an ex position that is larger than the three j previous large American expositions ' combined. Such is the exposition with which St. Louis celebrates the j centennial of the Louisiana purchase, j But the men responsible for the ex- j position do not wish that it should at tract by its size alone. They have \ builded for beauty, ns well as for big- i ness. and who can stand in the center of the great panorama without, being | aroused to a pitch of enthusiasm by the beauty that surrounds him? It is the beauty, rather than the size of the : fair, that first appeals to him. Another thing that appeals to the I American, the man who loves his coun- | try, is the sentiment the exposition stands for. It is a sentiment that is \ fully exemplified iri the imposing he- j roie statues of the states that stand on | either side of Festival hall. These j statues typify, not the states of the j east, but those of the west, the states carved out of the Louisiana territory. ! the states that stretch from the gulf to the Canadian border, from the Mis- j sissippi to Puget sound: states that ) have within a century of time been ; builded out of the wilderness. It is ] for these the exposition lips been build- j ed; it is these again that have made j the exposition possible. The lesson | they teach is written deep in tho his tory of the nation. To attempt, an itemized description! rf the wonders this expos.Jon has brought to the doors of the people of the central west is impossible in the j space of a newspaper article. Twelve i thousand ear loads of exhibits found space within the great palaces. It is j almost, impossible to realize what such ] a statement means until one has gone j from building to building, from ex- • hibit to exhibit. Nor is the space in the building wasted. Every niche Is filled with fwnething of interest, and the demand'was for almost double the ; amount at the disposal of the author ities. Some idea of this may be had ! from the statement that the breakfast food manufacturers alone ashed for more space than would have filled all j the Agricultural building, covering lf» : acres of ground, and with four miles i of aisles. To pick even the mc.e Interesting ex- ' hibits is almost an Impossibility, j though among them might be men- j CAMERON COUNTY PRESS THURSDAY, MAY 12 RQOJ. tinned the largest pipe organ ever man ufactured, with 145 slops and pipes Ave feet in diameter and 32 feet long; four acres covered with agricultural machinery; the largest natatorium on earth; ten acres of roses; ten acres of live game; the largest engines ever built; a floral clock covering a quar ter of an acre of ground, and of which the minute hand weighs over a ton. Such items but give the general idea of the entire fair. It is all big, it is all beautiful, it is all interesting. The exposition management is not boasting of the "Pile." They wish the visiting public to remember the fair by what might be termed its legitimate portion, its wealth of educational ex hibits, and yet. who would say that the shows along the '"Pike" are not edu cational in their way. On it are vil lages of every sort, and amusement features of every description. Five million square feet of entertainment. Among outdoor shows, that are not to be confounded with those of the "Pike," may be mentioned t'hc reproduction of the City of Jerusalem and the forty acres of Filipinos. Among the most interesting of the many features of the fair are the vari ous government exhibits housed in the Government building which is 800 feet long by 250 feet wide. Every function of the government is exem plified in this building. Among these exhibits is it complete government mint for the manufacture of coin, but at St. Louis Uncle Sam is making in stead of coin gold souvenir medals, but the process is the same as if the product was legal tender. While Uncls Sain has a monopoly on the money making business he guards the priv ilege jealously and does not risk tha precious dies, which put their im prints upon dimes, dollars and eagles, to leave their place of keeping. Besides a mosern coining press, from which drops a bright medal at every click, is a screw press built in 1795 and used at that time to stamp small coins. There is also a hammer 120 years old and a small pair of bal ances formerly used in the Philadel- j phia mint. Comparing these with the improvements made in the last 100 years reveals how much easier it is now for Uncle Sam to replenish hi* j treasury than it was when he was! young in the business. All of the machines used in the ■ plant are driven by independent direct '• current motors, thi power for which | is transformed from 550 volts to 220.1 The gas for all heating operations, such as annealing, melting, etc., is manufactured by an independent plant situated outside the building, and so arranged that it can be controlled in the exhibit. These machines were de signed and built especially for this purpose. First of the series of devices com posing the plant Is a furnace which supplies a heat of 2,000 degrees P. for the melting of metal alloys. Here the metal is cast into ingots and washed in a dilute solution of sulphuric acid to free the surface from copper oxide. The ingots are then run through the rolling mill and reduced in thickness from one-half an inch to eighty-five thousandths of an inch. This mill is operated by a 50 horse power motor. After rolling the strips are heated in the annealing furnace to soften ! them for the cutter. Processes used in the making ol paper money are altogether different, for it is here that the printer and not the machinist and founder servss a usefulness. In another section of the big Government building at Cie world's fair there is a fully-equipped bank note printing plant. In the Palace of Transportation may | he seen a full size section of the great 1 tunnel which runs from Jersey City | under the Hudson river, under New ; York city at Thirty-fourth street, and j under the East river to Long Island, a j distance of eight miles. It illustrates ! the tremendous work and millions of ' dollars expended upon one of tho ( greatest engineering works of modern I times. A great laboratory for testing j the power, efficiency rind economy of j locomotives is also in this building. | Locomotives will he under full steam I and full speed in this laboratory, tha j greatest show a' locomotive testing ever conceived a*id costing a quarter of a million dollars. 1 THE STRUGGLNG FOREIGNER I How He Gets Things Twisted When He First Comes to This Country.

"A neighbor of mine, a great coffee drinker, was troubled with pains in her side for years and was an invalid.
