Productive Power of Western Can

Winnipeg correspondence:
There has never been any who have
doubted the productiveness of the soil
of Western Canada, but there are some
times found those who question the fact
Of its superiority. During the past
seaso 1t has been shown that in grain
raising qualities it possessed the very
best. The late spring prevented grain
being sown in many cases before the
middle of May. Yet, a large percentage
of that sowr at that time produced ex-
cellent yields. Had it not been for the
frost early In August, which visited
most of the north half of the continent.
there would have been a magnificent
yield in every district in Western Can
ada. Throughout the Southern Alberta
district, where about 100000 acres was
sown to winter wheat, the yield wilt
be enormously large. There are vast
tracts of valuable grain-growing land
in Western Canada that are available
for bomesteads, the Canadian Govern
ment giving 100 acres free, and entry
may be made by proxy, by any near
relative. thus saving considerable cost

subordinate branch-Federal City Lodge

degree)-who have captured first prizes at
the different meetings Of the sovereign

doubt as to the respective merits of these
teams in the exemplification of all the de-
grees.

of the 18th promptly at 7:30 o'clock. Visitors

will welcome any criticism from. visitors
who may be present.
The members Of Columbia Lodge who do
not attend the meetings regularly are also
requested to come on the 18th of April and
by their presence give encouragement to
the staff. Good degree work is one of the
principal ends toward making the meetings

sacrifice of their time in perfecting the work
should be. rewarded by having crowded

ROOSEVELT EXCITED.
William Jennings Bryan Talks About
the $4,000. 600 Fund.

ROANOKE, Va, April BIN an interview
here last night William Jennings Bryan.
after reading a newspaper article that
stated that story had reached this coun-
try from Hawaii to the effect that Bryan,
on the occasion of his visit to the Hawaiian
Islands, two years ago, had advised the ma
tives to assert themselves and by their
power in majority overthrow the whites,
and asked If he would offer the same ad-
vice to the negroes of the south, declared
there was no truth in the story coming
from Hawaii and said he could offer no ex-
PLANTATION for it's publication.
eff the people have read my paper, the
Commoner," said Mr.. Bryan, they know
my views on the race question, which were
very largely expressed at the time OF the
Booker Washington dinner at the White
House."
Asked about the speech OF John Temple
Graves, in which the Georgia editor asked
the Nebraskan to nominate Roosevelt for
President, Mr.. Bryan said: Il said at the
Chattanooga banquet all that at present 1
can say. I said then, as at present ad-
vised. I cannot see that 1t is my duty to
nominate Mr.. Roosevelt. In both of my
campaigns 1 stated that IL elected 1 would
refuse a second nomination. I have sought
to secure constitutional amendment max
ing President ineligible for a second term.
I could not consoientiously urge the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Roosevelt for a second term,
even II there were no other reason"
Mr.. Bryan said he didn't care to dis
cuss candidates. but declared the outlook
for democracy, which is always good, was
never better than at present.
Mr.. Bryan delivered an address here last
night under the auspices of the Daughters
of the Confederacy, talking to 2,C00 people
in the Academy of Music on Travel
Abroad" His daughter. Grace Bryan, who
is a student at Holins Institute near Roa-
noke. met him here. The meeting was
very affectonate. Col. Bryan had not seen
his daughter since early last fall, when he
accompanied her to Roanoke.
In an interview at Bristol Mr.. Bryan said:
"The President seems unduly excited over
an alleged 100000 fund raised by Wall
street to prevent his reelection. If Wall
street is opposed to any doctrine held by
the President it is certainly not a repub-
lcan doctrine. When came up against
the corruption fund in 1895 we found no
more ardent champion of these special in
tereSts than Mr.. Roosevelt"

socialist deputies, pending their trial for
political offenses, submitted to the lower

element at yesterdays session.
The prosecutions of the deputies have been
instituted in the provincial courts for acts
committed before the convocation of par

teacher and social revolutionist of Kuban,
and A. A. KuznetsOff. social democrat of
Smbirsk-are accused of being socialists
and therefore members of party contem-
plating the overthrow of the state. The
third, A. r. Kupstas a peasant landowner
of Kovna, who was returned as a member
Of the left party, is charged with making
revolutionary speeches.
The constitutional democrats. who are
anxious to avoid heated discussion on the
floor. proposed to refer the minister's de-
mand to a committee. but the socialists
and social revolutiOniStS insisted on an i'm
mediate fiat refusal in order to place the
house on record against the classification
as crimes Of such acts as the three deputies
are charged with committing.
M. Alexinsky. social democrat OF st.
Petersburg in an excited speech. pointed
out that a recognition of the minister's
right to demand the exclusion of the depu-
ties might lead to the exclusion of third
of the membership of the house.
The minister of justice defended his de-
mand He said the law clearly provided
for the temporary suspension of deputies
indicted for criminal acts. The house. he
insisted, had discretion jn the matter,
and he further asserted that the Russian
courts were above suspicion. sta tement

both the socialists and government. was

were swept off their feet. The rule closing
the sitting at 6 o'clock was suspended and
the house shook with applause speaker
after speaker denounced the Russian jul

NJ Teslinko. constitutional democrat of

minister of justice had been tearing out
pages from the code of Russian laws until
nothing but the cover remained The pros
ecuting attorneys he declared, were grad

NJ. Azemon, constitutional democrat re-
ferred to the fact that in the indictment of
M. kuznetsof he was classed a revolu-
zionist, phrase of speech appealing to the
