had to be the man in the boat firing

completed it's returns of the showing OK
Western Canada's grain yield for 19OS

reading. In the three provinces or
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which comprise what may be known as
Central Canada, there was a total
wheat yield of about 10T, 100000 bush

barley and fax crops were worth an
other $50, 900 900. Letters have recent

these, that of Rev. Oscar l.. King has

any Canadian Government agent. Mr..
King says:
/ am well satisfied with Alberta.
This country offers excellent opportuni-
ties for anyone to make a good home
for himself and family II he is willing
to put up with a few hard knocks for

The Government takes great interest

PRESIDENT TAFT INDICATES
THAT HE WILL SEND A MES
SAGE TO CONGRESS URGING
ITS EARLY ESTABLISHMENT.
Ry Associated Press.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 25.-President
Taft indicated today that he will in
a message to congress urge the early
esta blishment of the postal savings
bank system. He believes this will
place several hundred millions at the
disposal OF the government, and sug-
gested that 1t will be used to take up
the six or seven hundred million
dollars OF government two per cent
bonds which are outstanding. These
are already selling below par and It
is feared they will further depreciata
when the three per cent issue, which
has been authorized, is placed on the
market.
BY placing the interest allowed by
postal banks at less than two per
cent President Taft thinks no harm
will be done the ordinary banks. He
expressed himself as opposed to
guaranteeing bank deposits not I'M

Siena, Italy, Aug. "a heavy
earthquake was felt throughout the
province of Siena at 1923 this
morning. Practically all of the houses
in San Lorenzomerse were destroyed
or badly damaged. Many persons
were injured.
The earthquake was felt most Sc
veTely within a radius of 20 miles
from Siena. Considerable damage
was done at Bfoniconvento. Several
houses collapsed and one person was
killed Several persons were injured
at Moteroni. A number of houses
also were damaged there, and ma
sonry fell into the streets
The shock was recorded at Piom-
bino, on the coast about so miles
southwest offSiena, at 1:25 a. m. and
there was a repetition FIVE minutes
later. The people fed from their
homes in terror, but no damage has
been reported.
Siena itself escaped with a severe
shaking. The people, however, rush
ed out of their houses into the streets.
where they wandered about in state
of semi-panic until they were assured
that the qUakes were over.

NEW AVIATOR
SMASHES THE
FLIGHT RECORD
PAULHAN, THE FRENcHMAN, RE-
MAINS IN AIR FOR NEARLY
THREE HOURS IN The CON-
TEST AT RHEIMS,
BY Associated Presas

Rheims, France, Aug. 25.-Paulhan.
the pIucky French aviator, broke the
worlds record today in a flight OF
two hours, fifty three minutes and
twenty -four seconds. During twenty
minutes Paulhan was in heavy rain
and wind storm. The previous rec
ord was made by Wilbur Wright at
LeMans, and he was in the air two
hours, twenty minutes and two and
three fifths seconds.
PaUlhan's new record for distance
is eighty-three miles. When he de-
seconded Paulhan said he could have
continued Indefinitely but the es-
sence which he carried in his tank
became exhausted.
Latham and Lefebvre, the only
others who qualified for the endur-
ance test, were more than one hun
dred kilometers behind Paulhan. The
only incident of today was the cap
sizing of Rougier, whose machine
was wrecked although ne was only
slightly hurt.
PauIhan is not an inventor. bur
simply an operator, and the flight to-
day makes him the worlds greatest
professional. The belief is unanimous
that he has already won the Prix de
Champagne, although the managers of
Wright's machine intimate they will
try for it tomorrow. The final day
for this event is Friday.

Washington, Aug. 25--President
Taft is leaving nothing Undone to
make it clear that he does not in
tend that census work and politics
shall be mixed. Acting Secretary
McHarg of the department Of COM
merce and labor today received a let
ter from Mr.. Carpenter, secretary to
the president, stating that census SUI
pervisors who hold political positions
such as secretaTyships or chairman
ships Of county committees must
give up either their political or gov
eminent position.
In a number of states. and this is
particularly true Of the south, repub-
Ican politicians have been recon-
mended for appointment as super
visors of the census. Complaint was
made that as the supervisors have
authority to appoint enumeratoTs, it
would be possible for them TO build
up powerful political positions.
Mr.. Carpenters letter was written
at the direction of the president and
Mr.. McHarg Immediately Communi-
Gated its contents to Director Durand.
As this is not a season of political
activity it is likely that the effect
will be wholesale designations from
local committees.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug, 25.-The
whole code of prohibition laws pass
ed by the legislature at the session
which adjourned last night, was
signed by the governor today. in
Guiding the monster Fuller bill, about
which there has been so much talk
all over the country. Others are to
prevent use or distribution of liquors
in clubs, make it unlawful for foreign
corporations to break the temperance
laws, taking away license when they
do so; provide for impeachment Of
sheriffs who refuse to obey the laws,
make it the duty of municipalities to
fix and enforce prohibition laws like
those in effect in the state; prevent
soft drink stands from using screens
or storing liquors of any kind, and
prevent gambling by prohibiting bar
red doors in any public place, or the
use therein OF electric bells, dumb
walters and other like machinery.
The fact that the bills were, signed
today was sent by wire to sheriffs
over the state, who are already busy.
By the Fuller bill all places under
suspicion may be raided and liquors
found in them destroyed.
