Cnulinotonouthatthheoumrynowludq They will be heart the world in the production of newsprint, asâ€" the land of opportunity The world demand for Canadian products is convincingly evident in the fact that this country with a population of about ten million people exported in 1926 goods to the value. of $1,269,000,000. This implies a tremendous per capita productivity. Canadian agriculture, minâ€" ing, fishing, manufacture and transportaton have all benefitted by the insistent demand for Canadian products. ‘ The Mississippi has some two hundred and forty tributaries which drain over a million and a half square miles. When these become swolâ€" len by rains the accumulated floods sometimes bursts the dykes and submerges a wide. terriâ€" tory as in the present case. The present floods surpass even the disasâ€" trous floods of 1882 and 1912 which took heavy toll of life and property. are included some forty and fifty cities. Hunâ€" dreds of thousands have been driven from their homes and an unknown number have lost their lives. The extent of the floods is seen in the fact that the inundation has spread over some three million acres of lowlands of the south in which The devastation caused by the Mississippi floods in the United States has been such as to evoke universal sympathy. A terrible toll of life and property has been taken and there are daily fresh reports of new disasters which have overtaken communities in the areas affected. | _ WORLD DEMAND FOR PRODUCTS | OF CANADA _ It is interesting to observe that. sixty years ago on the confederation of the first four provinces to enter the Dominion the present site was chosen as the capital. It was, however, forty years before this that a party of Royal engineers from the British Isles with Colonel John By in command, founded the village of Bytown, on this site which has now developed into the present city of Ottawa, the Dominion‘s capital city, Ottawa is becoming one of the distinctive capital cities of the world due to the plans being carried through for its improvement. At the recent session the Dominion Parliament voted to establish a Federal District Commisâ€" sion which will proceed with plans for the further improvement of the capital city of Canada. The fact that this year the Dominion celebrates the Diamond Jubilee of Confederaâ€" tion has doubtless given impetus to the moveâ€" ment. The city is beautifully situated and durâ€" ing the years has been made increasingly attractive. Worldâ€"wide Â¥nterest was taken in the event particularly in view of the unknown fate which befell the two French aviators, who sought, but a week or two ago, to accomplish the same feat. The modest young hero is deservedly recéiving the acclaim of the world. The victory of Lindbergh was truly a magnifiâ€" cent human triumph. Marvellous accomplishment such as that achieved by this brave young American flyer prove a stimulant to invention and make for progress. They increase the mastery of men over matter, over time and over space, and lead to further achievements which but a little while ago were looked upon as impossible of accomplishment. The daring exploit of flying from New York to Paris alone was accomplished over the week end by an intrepid and youthful American flyer, Captain Charles A. Lindbergh, and he is toâ€"day receiving the homage of the world on the achievement of this wonderful feat. As Captain Amundsen, the first man to fly across the Arctic Ocean and the veteran conquerer of both the North and South Poles, declared, it was not merely the fact that Capâ€" tain Lindbergh had crossed the Atlantic in an aeroplane. This has been done before. It was the cool daring and gallantry with which he set out alone on his great quest which excites the admiration of the world. Sir Arthur Brown, who with Captain Alcock, made the first air crossing of the Atlantic, also expressed sentiâ€" ments of admiration over the feat, "The boy is a wonder. His nerve and pluck are little short of marvelous," he declared. 1 ADVERTI8ING RATESs On application. Advertising copy must reach the office not later than Mondsy noon to insure insertion. BEAUTIFY THE CAPITAL CITY One Year, in United States, per year. FLOODS BRING DISASTER A DARING YOUNG AVIATGR BUBSCRIPTION RATESs As in the years 1912 and 1918, indications are that thousands will move to the Canadian West. They have disposed of their holdings at good prices compared with what they paid for them and are securing land in the West at nominal prices. Having both experience and the necéssary funds, the prospects are that they will attain a full measure of success. They earthnly make a very desirable class of settler and will materially contribute to the developâ€" ment of the country. ' They will be heartily welcomed by Canada, Discouraged farmers in the midâ€"western States are again seeking new homes in the Canadian West where they are purchasing lands with a view to becoming Canadian proâ€" ducers. They have found economic conditions in their own section such as to hinder them achieving the measure of success desired and have come to Canada believing that it offers special opportunities agriculturally. One writer, in commentikg upon the effecâ€" iiveness of the new laws, says: ‘"‘This seems to answer pretty definitely those jurists of the new school who would ‘cure‘ the criminal instead of punishing him. American courts have been experimenting with new ‘humane‘ methods for years. And crime has increased. Now, in six months, a set of severe penalties has definitely and concretely reduced crime figures. It is the unanswerable [act that punishment, and nothing but severe punishment, will prevent crime. In Massaâ€" chusetts, Utah, Connecticut, Kentucky, Louisi-‘ ana and Minnesota similar laws are being preâ€" pared. A wholesome cleanâ€"up of mawky court procedure, pampering criminal laws and judiâ€" cial red tape all over the country would give United States in five years criminal statistics as favorable as those of England. This is of vital interest to Canada because Canada and United States have already become and will beâ€" come to an even greater degree a social and moral unit on the Northâ€"American continent." | _ U. 8. SETTLERS COME TO CANADA Of particular effectiveness has been the aw making the third offence a life sentence crime. A knowledge that after two convictions another offence will end their liberty and shut them off from society for the rest of their lives, is having a wholesome effect in markedly iessening the activity of criminals. Legislation introduced by Senator Baumes of New York, and which has been enacted into ‘aw, increases <penalties for practically all criminal offenses provides life imprisonment cor habitual offenders who had been convicted three times previously and curtails parole privileges. The growing activity of criminals in the United States has led to more determined efforts to cope with them and New York State appears to have now placed on its statute books a law that is effectual in reducing crime. The plans formulated by these organizaâ€" tions which call for a material extension in their facilities, furnish convincing evidence of their belief in the west as a wheat producing country. Each year new areas are being opened up, the discovery of new varieties of wheat materially assisting in the utilization of hither to unused territories whick are proving their fertility by the bountiful yields of grain being harvested from them. Foremost in the construction activities is the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool which will either build or acquire elevators at fiftyâ€"seven addiâ€" tional points, bringing the number owned by this organization up to 644. An extensive pro# gram is also being embarked upon by the United Grain Growers‘ Limited which provides for the erection of new elevators at ten differâ€" ent points. A number of new elevators are tol be erected in Alberta also. The announcement made recently by big grain organizations in the west that they will erect further grain elevators indicates their conviction that the prairies will this year again produce an abundant wheat yield for which they deem it necessary to provide further facilities for handling it to advantage. mobiles and Jumiber; third in gold and silver|| _ * * wmnâ€"fi in steel production and|5zozcy~75" in that of conl. â€" * ~a ‘The rapid. development of the natural reâ€"| ‘The warâ€"tor sources of this country is attracting wideâ€"| has been reâ€"op« spread investment interest and has, as one|!#tor of educe writer points out, resulted in the investment of | MMMASS Sht X® ahontfiwmdnhllfbflflonddhnfmfmmm. eign sources, Of this amount about three bilâ€"| 1t is stated it lion dollars has come from the United States|years to compi and two billion from Great Britain, . > country will be a «wource of encourag to Canadians throughout the Dominion.
