ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TO CANADA

ian land, but if our farmers have gone
UP to Canada and made fortunes by
so doing l say they are justified aud
have a perfect right in doing so. AS
to the advertising 1 challenge any
man to find one word that has ever
been put out from the city of Spo-
kane that was not true in its en-
tirety. When you come to sand lot
advertising schemes you want to come
to Chicago or New York or some 9TH
er big eastern rotten city. You want
to come to the places where they pay
the poor man three and one-half per
cent on his savings deposits and loan
the money to us on gilt edged Sc
curity at eight or ten per cent"
There were present during the dis
cussion the invited representatives Of
the Dominion government, the West
ern Canada Irrigation Association and
the Canadian Pacific railroad who
were in the embarrassing position Of
witnessing the row and hearing state
ments made by Mr.. Frear that mis-
representations were used to induce
the immigration to Canada. Norman
Rankin of Calgary offered an explain

the dominion and provincial govern
ments against Misrepresentation to
prospective settlers, 1T is of course
correct that in the last two years
some 100000 Americans have immi-
grated to the new lands of western
Canada and ii Is also true that the
number who return are a very few in
deed, said Mr. Rankin. Figures OF
the United States treasury obtained
from customs officials showed that
the number of settlers who returned
in 1910 was only 256. No other state
ment is necessary to vindicate the ac-
curacy of representatives which are
permitted the agents of the Canadian
land companies in the United states"
References were made to state
ments of Louis w. Hin, president of
the Great Northern railroad who has
repeatedly declared that the immi-
grafton to Canada partly is due to the
failure of the United States govern
ment to provide for the comfort OF
settlers on new lands in western
states and pointed to the active in
terest tken in each settler on lands
in Canada.

New York, Dec. 13.-While w. f..
d. Stokes. millionaire hotel proprie-
tor, was still in serious, though not
critical condition as result of an
operation last night for abcess of the
kidneys, Ethel Conrad, one of the
girls who shot him, was on the wit
ness stand in the criminal court build
ing, telling her story of the affray
Stokes, according to physicians,
showed remarkable recuperative pow
ers and his recovery is now expected.
Miss Conrad proved herself a most
peculiar witness. She acted as be-
1ieving herself the star in a melo-
drama. Every move was studied;
every word prepared. She was letter
perfect.
Some members of the jury turned
their faces away while she was on
the stand to keep from laughing.
There was a scene in the court
room yesterday when the girl turned
to her lawyer and asked him to make
Assistant District Attorney Buckner
stop making faces at her, because
he makes me laugh" she said, "and
this isn't any laughing matter to me-"
Miss Conrad today proved herself
an adept witness, quick of wit and
with an amazing knowledge of the
technicalities of the law, which en-
abled her on many occasions to avoid
answering questions she did not care
to answer. She often appealed to
Justice Marcus on one OF these tech
pecalities and asked; 'Must l answer
that?" Invariably, the court decided
In her favor.
As soon as she took the stand. As
slstant District Attorney Buckner
asked her means of livelihood. She
said she had been employed a short
time ON the stage at $25 a week and
later had Joined Mrs. Leslie Carters
company.
How much were you paid?" ask
ed Buckner.
"It is not etiquette for a member
of Mrs. Carriers company to tell how
much he or she receives" answered
the girl

company in Philadelphia because Of

Miss Conrad.

mothers and the clerical force of the
New York store were entertained at
the home OF Miss Josie Wooley on
Bcllefontaine avenue, last evening.
Miss Wooley invited her guests to
bring their embroidery work. Such
social affairs are very propitous for
the making of dainty Christmas gifts
and these pretty things busted the
guests as they exchanged ideas and
enjoyed companionable issues. A
contest was introduced during the ev-

the most fortunate in this. Delicious
viands composed a lunch which was
served by the hostess at 10 o'clock.

many who believe that the feeder VIII

II Is believed that his coming will not
