IMMIGRATION TO CANADA

Ottowa, Feb. 1.-The annual re-

was an increase of $6S7, 439 in the
gross revenue of the department
and the area of land disposed of by

results, the report says, should be
considered the strongest possible
ground for prosecuting with increas-
ed yigor the land and immigration

total revenue from Dominion lands
for the past decade was Sl3,l39,941,
as compared with $2,343,S34 for the
preceding ten years. The homestead
entries for 1906 were 4l,S6s, COM
pared with 3O.S19 for 1905. In 1896
the entries were 1857. The entries
for the past year represent a total

THAW TRIAL NOT
TO TAKE ANY
TESTIMONY
Till Next Week Though Jury
Completed Today After
Two Discharges.

New York, Feb. 1.-The morning
sessions of the Thaw trial ended to-
day without the selection of a man to
complete the twelve needed to try
the case. Thirteen talesmen were
examined, the defense twice interpos-
ing peremptory challenges when it
seemed that the trial jury was about
completed. Rumors that another
juror, possibly two more, may be ex-
cused again is in circulation today
and when Justice Fitzgerald set back
the hour for the afternoon session to
2:30 at the request of District Attor-
ney Jerome, it was generally under
stood that there was to be a further
wedding out of the trial panel. All
hope that the taking of testimony
can be reached before next week has
been abandoned. The court will not
sit tomorrow. Thaw's counsel con-
tinued today to ply talesmen with
questions as to what consideration
they would give to the plea of insan-
ity. During this part of the exam
ination the defendant seldom looked
at the talesmen, but kept his glance
upon the table before him.
The Thaw jury was completed this
afternoon.

Publishing company have completed
their work of gathering names and
the revision thereof is about to begin.
The desire of the publishers is that
this shall be the most correct as well
as the most complete publication of
the kind ever issued i'm this city, and
with that end in view they appeal to
all those who may for any reason
have been overlooked in the canvass
TO take the initiative and hand in
their names and addresses at once.
Nothing can be of greater import
ance to the city at large and to the in
dividual In particular than the possess
sion of an up to date and accurate
list of citizens and their residences,
together with banks, business houses,
institutions, etc. In order that this
may be accomplished in the present
instance, the cooperation of all our
citizens is most earnestly solicited
Especially is the help of the proper
officers of churches, lodges, societies
and clubs of all kinds in this city
desired in the furnishing of the names
tistics as are usually set forth in city
directories.
Much has been heard here lately
OF boosting Albuquerque, and most
commendable spirit has been shown
in the recent doings inaugurated by
the Boosters club. Why not trans
late this into practical form in aiding
this necessary project of directory
making to a heretofore unequaled
completeness?
One of the ways in which this may
be brought about is for every bank,
manufacturer. wholesaler and mer-
chant in the city to cooperate
through a liberal patronage of the
advertising columns, and another Is
by personally seeing to il that those
items in which they are particularly
interested are by no chance omitted
from the work.

MAJORITY OF TAXPAYERS

w. w. Strong, retired contractor

possible under the per cent system"
b. A. Sleyster fire insurance agent:

FOR
ALL COUNTY
OFFICIALS
And Not the Per Cent Plan.
Gov. Hagerman and Local
Merchants interviewed.

Governor Herbert j. Hagerman
was a pleasant caller at The Evening
Citizen Office this morning where he
readily consented to be interviewed
by a representative for this paper re-
garding his attitude on the reduction
of the salaries of county officials, as
expressed in his message to the legis-
lature. Incidentally, an expression
was secured from the governor anent
gambling and his recommendation OF
prohibitive legisletiotp He said In
part:
while 1 believe that 1t is best to
fix the salaries of county officials on
a percentage basis, as l have recon-
mended in my message, still | am not
welded to the idea in the sense that
l would insist upon the salaries being
lowered in this way. / am very anX-
ious to have the legislature get at II
in some practical way that viii re-
dound to the best interests of the
people, and IL ii can be done in some
other way l am perfectly willing to
lend my support. so long as there Is
an actual reduction of the salaries.
To my mind this salary reduction
measure and legislation which Will
prohibit gambling are the two most
important measures which will re-
ceive the attention of the Legislature
for some time to come There is
universal demand for both.
"But to arrive at a fiat basis for
fixing a straight salary in most of the
county offices would prove a very diff
ficult matter, indeed, / fear" he con-
tinued, "and especially is this true in
the instances of the county assessors
and treasurers. Putting the assessors
and treasurers on the percentage
basis at new and more equitable
classification is, in my opinion, the
most feasible way Of getting at the
matter at the present time.
'If that method is the wise one and
the most practicable idea, If it is in
accord with the peoples views. 1t
would afford a more permanent solu-
ton to the problem than fixing it on
a straight salary basis.
1.-The demand for a reform in sal
aries is no more urgent however
than the enactment of laws that Will
prohibit gambling.
NEARLY everybody in the territory
is in favor of prohibitory legislation
which will shut out gambling. The
people have tolerated 1t long enough
and now is the time for them to eX-
press their opposition to IT. The
gambling issue is one you cannot
straddle The individual is either for
ii or against 1t, and he should get on
one side or the other / believe the
majority will be arrayed with the op-
position"
