NEW DISTRICTS AND
new RAIL Ways
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BET
TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER
FOR SETTLEMENT.

To the Editor = Sir: doubtless
many of your readers will be pleased
to have some word from the grain
fields of Western Canada. where such
a large number of Americans have
made their home during the past few
years. 1t is pleasing to be able to re-
port that generally the wheat yield
has been good; it will average about
20 bushels to the acre There will
be many cases where the yield will go
35 bushels to the acre, and others
where so bushels to the acre has
been recorded. The oat and barley
crop has been splendid The prices
of all grains will bring to the farmers
a magnificent return for their labors
An instance has been brought to my
notice of a farmer in the Pincher
Creek (Southern Alberta) district
where winter wheat is grown-who
made net profit of $19.55 per acre, or
little less than the selling price of his
land. 80, 40, and so bushel yields are
recorded there. The beauty about the
lands in Western Canada is that they
are so we'll adapted to grain-raising,
while the luXuriant grasses that grow
everywhere in abundance make the
best possible feed for fattening cattle
or for those used for dairying pur-
poses.
The new homestead regulations
which went into force September, 1908,
attracted thousands of new settlers. 1t
is now possible to secure 100 acres in
addition to the $50 acres as a free
grant, by paying $500 an acre for it.
Particulars as to how to do this and
as to the railway rates can be Sc
cured from the Canadian Government
Agents.
The development throughout West
,ern Canada during the next ten years
will probably exceed that of any other
country in the worlds history" is not

railway companies sold a good deal
of their land at from three to five dol

seventy-five dollars, and buying more

Colombia's One Iron Foundry.

The only iron foundry in Colombia,
South America, is at Bogota. 1t is
known as La Paradera and is operated
on a small scale, native ores being
s1nelted the iron being subsequently
remelted for casting purposes. There
are several commercial iron deposits
in the interior of the country, and one
ore body situated near the coast of
the Caribbean sea is now being drilled

Dear Sirs: / intend opening up a
Tourist bureau in Winnipeg about the
1st of May next, and am writing you
to see if you would not care to be
specially represented in western Can
ada
I have had some years experience in
railway and steamship passenger work,
and as 1 am going to publish an Illus
trated journal in connection with my
agency, I will be in position to give
my clients a good representation.
The westerners are as q rule great
travellers, and I have no doubt that
could turn some tourist business to-
wards Hawaii, and in other ways you
might suggest could be of assistance
to You in your Promotion" work. The
population of Winnipeg is rapidly in
creasing, and with the growth of the
city the tourist business is bound to
increase.
I am open to any reasonable offer
you have to make, and I hope you may
see an opportunity for benefiting your
island through my services. I would
also be pleased to receive copies of any
publications you have on hand or de-
scriptive matter relating to Hawaii.

ter your consideration, and that I may
hear from you at an early date, I am,
Yours truly.

you to Mr.. J. NJ. Lyons, General Pas
senger Agent of the Canadian Govern
ment Railway, Moncton, N. B., or Mr..

TEN SHOTS FIRED
YESTERDAY At LOPEZ

Lopez. the Porto Rican bandit, the
one of the pair that sawed their way
out of the Oahu Prison to be stilI at
liberty, was seen near WaiaIua yester-
day and chased by the local police au-
thorities there. In the course of the
pursuit he was made the Target for a
number of shots, ten bullets in all
flying in his direction, none of them
winging him.
High Sheriff Henry confirmed last
night the report of the chase of Lopez
and the abortive fusilade of which he
was the object, but was reticent about
giving out details. 1t is understood
that he has given orders that the
chase of the escaped prisoner is to be
kept up and the man run TO earth at
any cost.

SUDDEN DEATH Of
FRANK |. HOOGS
Had Been Manager of Hawaiian
Star for Twelve
Years.

Frank L. Hoogs, for the past twelve
years manager of the Hawaiian Star,
and most of the time large owner
, in the paper, died suddenly yesterday,
shortly after noon, at his residence,
Makiki and Hastings streets.
Mr.. Hoogs was at his Office and about
town as usual yesterday morning, but
suffering an attack of acute indigestion
he went home during the. forenoon. His
death came suddenly from heart failure.
Frank L. Hoogs was born in San
Francisco, forty-four years ago. His
father died many years ago, and his
mother four or FIVE years ago. He was
engaged in theatrical ventures for a
number of years in San Francisco and
California. He came here in 1891 as man
ager of baseball team from the Coast
which played series of games in the
islands. His brother w. I'll. Hoogs had
preceded him several years before.
Frank L. Hoogs decided to remain here
and in 1892 became connected with
the Advertiser, retaining that connee-
tion for several years, being at one
time news editor.
In 1896 he became the manager of
the Hawaiian Star which had been
founded by the Annexation Club three
years before, and he has been manager
of it ever since In 1898 he bought
an interest in the paper, and he has
ever since been one of its chief stock
holders.
Mr.. Hoogs married Margaret Roache
in 1896, and besides her leaves two chill
dren, daughters. Besides his brother
William H. Hoogs of Honolulu, another
brother, Albert F. Hoogs, of New York,
and a sister, Miss Lily Hoogs, of San
Francisco, survive him.
Besides his interest in the Star, Mr..
Hoogs owned handsome residence on
Makiki street, and other property. He
carried a considerable amount of life
insurance, one policy having been tax
en- out recently.

''Mr. Hoogs interest in the Star was
clear of incumbranoe. He has not had
a controlling interest for some months.
Nothing has yet been considered as
to the future of the paper. 1t will go
on as at it has, for the present. Mr..
E. A. Berndt and myself viii consider
the matter of the future of the paper
within few days. The property is in
a sound condition, and on a prosperous
basis.'
Mr.. Hoogs was Mason and Knight |

Commercial Club.

WORK IS
DONE
Everything Ready for
Tomorrow's Big
Event.

Everything is in readiness for the
Floral Parade tomorrow, which will
begin at nine O'Clock to form in the
Capitol grounds, leaving the Capitol at
ten and after parading the main streets
of the city will be lined up in mass
formation in the beautiful Punahou
grounds, where the decisions of the
judges will be announced and the prize
banners and ribbons distributed by
Mrs. Walter F. Frear.
The hopes of the committee headed
by A. Gartley that the parade would
be not only a success but an advance
on anything that has been in the same
line bid fair to be fulfilled in every
way. The number of decorated auto
mobiles to be in line, counting only
those that the committee are assured
Of will be over forty, while it is quite
possible that others will decide today
to enter the parade enough to swell
this number to half a hundred or even
more.
