cratic mein. Nearlo strolled into the
shop and stated in French that he had
left his ancestral chateau two days
ago to make glad the heart Of an
American heiress whose smiles he had
won on her trip abroad during the
winter. All of this was preliminary to
the REQUEST that he be shown some-

Nothing seemed quite good enough AMI
finally the count" was conducted to
a burglar proof cage In which one OF
the best gems in the shop were exhio-
ited. He selected several fine ones
chose design for their setting and
asked a salesman to accompany him to
a prominent hotel where he had de-
posted $4,000.
Apparently awaiting the salesman,
the count" strolled languidly to the
street. When the clerk reached the
door his customer had vanished. A
quick look at the jewel casket showet
that one of the brooches had gone like
wise. Two or three clerks rushed into
the crowded street and luckily over
hauled Carlo four blocks distant slow

them unceremoniously grasped him by
the collar and called him thief Carlo
shook him of easily and broke into a
run. A crowd gathered at his heels
and he was soon halted by mounted

After he had been locked up several
hours Carlo told an interpreter that
he came to America three weeks ago
from Montreal, where he had lost ST.

evidence that the allegations of the
government are true, while a small
army will testify in behalf of the de-

STAFF Correspondence to The Press.
MONTREAL, Canada, July g.
Canada is about to draw upon the
United States for the largest part Of
an army of $4,000 laborers to build
its new transcontinental railroad.
Part of this immense force will be
unskilled, and part skilled labor.

1t is to be called, is to have a man

Southern Pacific road to undertake
his present duties. 1t is said that
he is responsible more than any other
man for the existence OF the new
transcontinental project.
Had to Have yankees"
II was early discovered that the
new Canadian road could not be built
without American brains, skill and
labor. The projectors of the road
recently struck snag due to the i'm
portation of about SO civil engineers
and surveyors to lay out the line.
The Canadian engineers invoked the
alien labor act (Which. by the way,
was passed in retaliation against the
United States for the law excluding
Canadian laborers), and the whole
batch of engineers was seized and
deported. They quietly slipped over
the border again, and plunged into
the woods where their duties lay. The
Canadian authorities found IT difficult
TO follow them into the virgin forests
of the northwest. Meantime, all the
money and influence of the railway

was put forth to secure a decision
Of the courts exempting skilled la
Dor from the provisions of the act.
This has finally resulted in the Ang-
lin decision, which proves to be SO
broad that the whole law is practical
ly set aside.
Taps New Wheat Belt.
The new road is expected to tap
the region in western Canada into
which the big stream of American
immigration is now pouring. During
the last year no less than 10000
settlers have gone into this region,
most of whom are farmers from the
United States. Vice President Hays
estimates the area of the wheat belt
of the Canadian northwest as Ill.,
100000 acres. The average yield per
acre is 20 bushels from this virgin
soil, which new agricultural wealth
is expected to furnish plenty of traffic
for the new road, when 1t is COM
pleted, years from now.
