Keeping pace with wheat produc-
ton. the growth OF railways has been
quite a wonderful. and the whole
country from Winnipeg to the Rocky
Mountains will soon be . network OF
trunk and branch lines. Three great
transcontinental lines are pushing
construction In every direction. and
at each siding the grain elevator Is
to be found. Manitoba being the
first settled province. has now an ele-
vator capacity Of upwards Of Is. 900, 900
bushels. Saskatchewan 1000. 90. and
Alberta about 1000. 900. while the ca
pacity OF elevators at Fort William
and Port Arthur. on the Great Lakes,
is upwards of 10000, 900 more.
Within the provinces OF Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta there are
-four and oatmeal mills with q com.
bined capacity of $4,000 barrels per
day. and situated along some famous
water powers In New Ontario, there
are larger mills than will be found
anywhere In the Prairie Provinces.
Last year the wheat crop totaled
10000 900 bushels. This year
the crop will yield 80, 600, 900 more. A
recent summary shows that on the LIST
OF January. 1909. the surveyed lands
Of the three western provinces, totaled
134. 000. 900 acres, of which about g..
O00, 900 have been given as subsidies to
Il,ooo ,uut disposed OF IN 9TH
er ways and $4,000, 90 given by the
Government as free home
being 236.000 homesteads OF
$50 acres each. OF this ter.
ritory. there is probably under crop
at the present time less than IL. OOO.-
900 acres; what the results will be
when wide awake settlers have taken
Of Canada's offer and are

SECOND RACfTRACk
CASE UP TO COURT
Chauffeur Accused of Receiving
Wager Demands Release on
HabeaS Corpus Writ

Former Judge Carroll Cook filed yes
terday in the supreme court an appli-
cation for a writ of habeas corpus for
w. w. Roberts, growing out of the ar
rest and detention of Roberts, a chauf-
feur, charged with violating section
337 of the penal code relating to bet
ting on horse races. According to the
allegations in the application, Roberts
was arrested yesterday on a warrant
from the police court, charged with ac-
cepting a wager from "John Doe" on
the result of a horse race to be held on
the Emeryville track, and is being held
in custody by Chief of Police Jessie d.
Cook.
The application is based on the
grounds that the petition on which the
warrant was issued did not allege an
act constituting a public offense under
the laws of California, for the reason
that section 337A of the criminal code
in the state of New York, and that the
New York courts have construed the
betting law to mean that the lay
ing of odds without the recording of
same does not constitute a crime.
1t is alleged that Roberts became
holder of a bet without gain to him
self and did not receive it with hope
of personal reward. On this showing
a writ is asked commanding Chief Cook
to release Roberts, and Roberts de-
mands to be admitted to bail pending
the determination of the mooteds point
by the supreme court.
This is another of the cases growing
out of the adoption of the oral system
of betting now practiced on races at
the Emeryville track. Owing to the
fact that a majority of the court was
not present yesterday hearing of the
application went over until today.
