Strangs Citizens of the Far West May 2 Move Again, It the published reports from Western Canada concerning contem- plated changes in the ownership of Dolikhobod lands fn favor of Cana- dian soldier settlers are true, one more migration, total or partial, of these Russian peasant communities may yet be witnessed, And so thé Question is instinctively raised, Whither would they Bo? ' One has associated the Doukhobors 80 Jong and definitely with Western X that the part of their career which has been the most formative in their history is apt to be over looked. Their manner of lite in the 8] ly populated prairie sections of itoba and Saskatchewsn, or ami the partially cleared but potential tertile valleys of British Columb ' is the direct outcome of those pe culiar conditions which they were compelled to endure in their native Russia. An agricultural folk, with the instinet for settlement highly de- veloped, their migratory movements began when Tzar Alexander I ban- ished the Doukhobortsy, as the com- munity is more correctly termed, to the banks of the River Molochnava, in the neighborhood of the Crimea. Their original home was Kharkov, a city several hundred miles to the southwest of Moscow. The movement spread so rapidly from his common centre that governmental hostility Was aroused against them, and their enforeed settlement on the Moloch- naya was the result, Just 100 years ago, the Russian Government resumed its hostile meas- ures, which culminated inthe final deportation of (he community to Pranscaucasia; Pobiedonostsev's pol- fey of bringing all religious elements of the empire into conformity with Greek Catholicism being responsible for the severities which attracted the world's attention to the Doukhobors In the nineties, Their refusal to obey the law afforded a pretext for this persecution. In the inhospitable and barren region to which they had been banished, and which was to be their final home in Europe, they never- theless, by dint of sober living and dogged perseverance in the face of perpetual hardship, managed to pros- per. 'In 1885 they were burning their weapons and refusing to sub- mit to the tyrannies of the Cossack soldiers, Eventually, through the good offices of Count Tolstov and of the Society of Friends in England, some 8,000 were despatched as emi- grants to Canada, and there again they not only tolled and thrived, but succeeded, where others indubftably would have failed, in converting to productive uses hundreds of aeres of apparently waste lagsl. They amassed comparative wealth as a community, and despised it as individuals. They paid their- way. They bought land in province after province, and now they are almost in sight of the waters of the Pacific.

The the STUER ST. LAWRENCE Meets Thousand Tsland Excursionists at Clayton Dock for First Time in Two Years--Hotel Season Be- gins, For the first time in two years the steamer St. Lawrence, famous as a river exewssion boat of the old' Fol- ger fleet and later bearing the stamp of the New York Central lines, will meet Thousand Island excursionists at the Olayton dock. The steamer will start on her re- gular (trips Sunday, June 29th meet- ing all trains and carrying tourists and passengers to Alexandria Bay, as | was her custom for years. The boat, probably the most fam- ous. of the old river fleet, with the '| possible exception of the Island Wan- derer, is now owned by the Richel- ieu & Ontario Navigation Company of Canada and has beén prepared for senvice after a year of inactivity, Whether the yacht Romona will' be restored to the daily ramble among the islands vas not been determined, Starting July 1st, the New York Central lines will open a branch ticket office at Alexandria Bay. This will be the first office maintained there since the war, Never in the history of the islands have the vacationists arrived so eadly. Manager. Freeman of the Crossman House stated that his hotel now had as many guests as were re- gistered in August last year. 'Che hotel has bookings imsuring a busy season. The full hotel force has been put on, it being necessary to go to Syra- cuse and Boston for help. Usually the season dis not expected to begin with any rush before July, but the hot weather and a desire for rest afi- er the strénwous years of war are the causes assigned to the present in- flux 'of tourists, At the Thousand Island House business is also booming with one convention in progress and several others booked. Indications are that Manager Warburton will make this the convention hotel of the iiver. Two or three conventions are already planned for September, and in addi- tion to the three heretofore announc- ed for June and July, the New York State Association of Dyers~ and Cleaners will bring upwards of 125 to the Bay.
