MaeMillan therefore expects to return east within two or three weeks, with one or two others to complete the work so well begun. In Mr. MaeMillan 's opinion, it is a young man's job, covering Tin? entire eastern portion of Canada on fast time, which Las already had its reward. From 15 to 20 founders have agreed to give $10,000 each to the cause. These men have gone through the eastern provinces with a fine tooth comb, and have got results that astounded even themselves.

It loo sharn between the two sides of the dividing line, and hurts all trade in the vicinity of such line.

WEBSTER'S ADDRESS His Jellnltlon of an architect: "The arlst who jo-nposos bcllding determine th.lr proportions, distribution and deowraOon. directs their execution and controls the expenditures upon them. First then, ne is an artist, and by the term -irtist. I understand no more painter or a draughtsman than 1 do' an actor. The architect should be a man of remorseless severity in the standard of his own attainments, in so much thut he should grudge no expenditure of time and pains to achieve the unulleat Improvement in bis work.

One In who's mouth the words "it will do!" or "That Is near enough," fchould not be found. With an eye trained to the appreciation of form and the rare creative endowed with -all attributes ut the artist, his is yet but un Imperfect for too artis must be added, tne technician- to make the' architect. The artist then msst train his unaccustomed feet to tread lirmly the planes of geometry, for he has to be able to Jeienate things not as they ixlst but as they are to be. Muthe tnatlca he must know, and master the Intricacies of the trades- Mason, inlckluyer and carpenter he must be. The worken in nietat must yield, to him the secret ot their craft, he must explore the myafery of materials, rocU, tree ant the sands by the seashore, lie will uluo find himself something of an engineer now-a-liays, being called upon to deal with Lteel almoxt daily.

The study ot hygiene is within his province and lie must arrange all ranitary matters, not merely to their general disposal, but ho must havo a knowledge of climate, aspect, rainfall, and 'ail matters pertaining to public health. Still another fight is required for J-ls already full equipments He must possess the powers of inductive, and reaboning which go ta make what commonly called "business ability." 1 would like you to consider with me for a moment, his position, who intrusted with an important work j0f architecture and how his condl- tlons vary from those of the painter, or the sculptor. Tne painter and sculptor produce their work to terms of its purchase and that the end of it a mere money transaction. RESPONSIBILITY But the architect from the time the contract is signed between his client disbursed by his direction, none can t0 as the work Is completed and the cost, reckoned iwneiner or noi ne nan wisely ana lion at the word of the architect, neither doubting thut Justice shall be done them. When I think of the unlimited confidence and trust which ia placed In us day by day by strangers fer the most part who know us not in pnv ate life, I must say thai 1 am proud of my profession.

He is convinced that this summer and fall will see an unprecedented Influx of immigrant to the West which will be greatly accentuated if the present crop prospects should be realised.

Settlers are expected' from the States, some from Eastern Canada and a large majority from Norway and Sweden. The land that are-now helna offered are the last of the good lands silling cheap in the west It Is the Idea of the company to get a few families Mettled there and then let them work through the medium of correspondence a press a genu for the company. "Once we get a few families settled and content th remainder will come easily," he forecasted, "f- STARTED LAST FALL" Thl colonisation scheme was started last fall but wa not urged to an great extent throughout the winter. The committee wMch ha just returned was appointed by th Scandinavian settler In th State and while greatly Impressed with th country In the Turtleford district are, dubious of the ability of the government to. construct a line of railway through' that district They were disappointed with the recent action of the railway committee of the Houm of Commons In not granting th charter of the C.P.R.

for the, line from Cory to Birch Lake, which would havo served the Turtleford district to a more or less degree. Commissioner Thornton expressed himself 'as being well satisfied with, the result of the trip and I confident that the right kind of settler will be brought to the country a Its result. He was very optimistic a to th outcome, and with a realisation of the crop prediction for thl year expect to act the district thickly populated very shortly.

MaeMillan was approached by Mayor Urown and the upshot of this eon. versation was that Mr. MacMlllitn wired for a substitute to carry on the private business on which he 'in-1 left, while he himself started on colouration work, with the abov'e results. Where the western men gained the advantage was In being acquainted with Hie majority of the firms on whom they called. Thus the Ico was broken, and the remainder of the worK was niailo easier.
