COX ASKS PRESIDENT TO CLEAR BROTHER OF USING lNFLU-
 ENCE IN ALASKA DEAL.
BALLINGER IS INVOLVED
Investigation Brought On By Girls Charges Against Gugsenheim h. terests-Now Famous "Dick
 to Dick" Letter Located.

Washington, D. C.-President Taft's order. throwing open 12,S00 acres sur rounding Controller bay. Alaska. is to be investigated by the hc,Ise commit tee on expenditures in the department of the interior.
 President Taft's brother, Charles P. Taft, Richard s. Ryan of New York, secret agent of the Guggenheim syn dicate,' and Richard A. Ba finger, form CT secretary of the interior, are di- rectly involved in the investigation and probably will be subpoenaed as wit neSSeS.
 Under a resolution introduced in the house by Representative Cox of h. diana. the president will be asked to explain the order. which did not be- come public until six months after it had been issued, and to tell whether he was influenced in the matter by Ryan, Ballinger or his brother.
 Key to Cunningham Claims.
 The land was a part of the Chugach national forest and is said to be the key to the Cunningham claims, the fight around which cost Ballinger his portfolio in the cabinet. It is charged that already dummies of the Guggen- helm interests have filed on this land.
 The decision of the house committee to sift the matter was brought about by the charges of Miss NJ. F. Abbott. Chairman Graham of Illinois already has engaged counsel and has ordered the sergeant at arms to serve sub poena on Fred A. Dennett. land com missioner. The investigation was started this morning.
 Miss Abbott will be given an early opportunity to relate her remarkable story in detail.
 Girl Has Outside Evidence.
 She declares she will repeat her story under oath and that if the rec ords of the interior department do not contain the sensational letter she says she found there she will produce out side evidence on that point.
 Despite the denials attributed to the White House and the interior depart ment Miss Abbott repeated and re-en- forced her declaration that she found the now famous Dick to Dick" letter, regarding the Controller bay land or der in the files of the interior depart ment.
 The Cox resolution, which the h. diana representative declared he will press vigorously, requests President Taft to submit all papers and infor- nation in his possession relating to his executive order of July 2S. 1910.
 It specifically requests the president to advise the house whether Ryan, Ballinger or his brother used their in- f1uence to have the order issued and whether he knew Ryan was secret agent of the Guggenheim interests.

FINE EFFECT IN DECORATION
Empire style Employed for One Of
the Prettiest Adornments Seen
for Some Time.

Although empire decorations are not
quite SO fashionable as in the past,
there are still some pretty things
made In that style which merit the
favor given to all that Is beautiful and
elegant. Attention is drawn to the
decoration of a toilet table, which, by
the exactitude of details scrupulously
followed, would be worthy of figuring
at any French palace.
The central piece constitutes In
Itself a real work of art. 1t is a
Psyche" IL miniature, whose little
towers of pearl, incrusted with green
gold, support a mirror framed with
the same metal and delicately deco
rated with wreaths Of laurels.
Candlesticks with two branches, OF
the purest empire style, admirably nm
lshed. are placed on either side on a
set Of square boxes. There appear
again pearl decorations beneath gold
trellises, crossed over with laurel gar
lands Of different tones.

EXCELLENT TRADE IN.
WESTERN CANADA
sPLsNUlb CROPS, ZIG sfRlcEs.
AND PROSPEROUS outlook
FOR THE FUTURE.

Throughout all of Canada, and espe.
cially IN the Western Provinces Of
Canada, there is buoyancy in every
line Of business that is fully war.
ranted by every condition. The crops
Of the past year were what was ex.
pected, and the prices for grain Of all
kinds, put the farmers in a class by
themselves. Many Of them are indie
pendent, and many others have got
well started on the road. The latest
reports are that seeding is well under
way in almost every district, and the
prospects are that vastly larger area
than that under crop last year viii
be seeded early this spring. In the
Lethbridge district, in Southern Al
berta, steam and gasoline outfits, hum
dreds of them, are breaking up the
prairie at a tremendous pace, but
they work night and day. AS soon az
1t becomes dark, gangs are changed,
head light attached, and on, on
through the night until the first
streak Of dawn, these giant monsters
with their seven or eight gangs Of
breaking plows, keep up the work.
Then the more modest farmer is put
ting in the longest hours possible with
his teams Of horses or oxen. And
what will the Country be like in Au.
gust, when these fields have become
yellowed with the literally golden
InrNs twa SwFtH Hn Cd
panse of wheat field. And there WIN
be q market for 1t, because 1t is the
best grain grown, and the demand
will be everywhere. AS previously In
timated business throughout Western
Canada is sound and good. The grain
production Of 1909 has been the great
factor in establishing the reputation
Of Western Canada, and It is worth
talking about. It surpassed all previ.
Gus records, both in regard to quality
and quantity, and such an achieve
ment was by no means easy. The
limit has not been reached, and o
large average increase may be ex-
pected during the next ten years.
There VIII be odd seasons when q
falling-off will occur, and it is the fall
Ing.off that causes alarms and panics
In the commercial world. The plains
have done their duty so far in the
output of grain and it would be rea-
sonable to make occasional allowances
for slowing-up. The faster the rate Of
increase is now, the sharper will be
the check when the production dimin-
Isles. But there are some unreason-
able people who wonder why the
growth of one year is not continued
during the next, and at an even faster
rate. These same unreasonable peo-
pie are the ones who see flaws in the
situation as soon as an indication is
given that the startling advances have
not been maintained.

NYEGLIGEE robes and sacks may
be made up at all times and
IN seasons and although the styles
for these necessary garments
change but little, there are new
touches to be seen on the newest mod
els.
A lounglng robe is very comforta-
BILE thing to have and 1t is just as easy
and at the same time just as inexpen-
sive to make 1t pretty and dainty as
unattractive.> Unfortunately many
women, recognizing the need Of com
Portable summer negligees, fail to rec
ognise also the possibility Of being
charming in such attire.
These ungainly kimOnos made of
brightly colored silks are anything but
becoming, and they really make a
woman look frightful. Delicate or dull
colors should always be chosen, for
these are not only much more becom-
ing, but are far more dainty.
1t is far better, too. for woman to
