being an estimate of the immigration
from the United States for 1912, the
consumption of coal will naturally in
crease.
The agricultural districts of Canada
have now become SO well known
throughout the world, and the vacant
area of splendid land is still so great
that it may be expected that the num-
bers mentioned will increase from
year to year, and it will not be many
years before the immigration figures
will reach the million mark.
1t may be asked what is there to
warrant this large immigration? With
millions Of acres of land, capable of
producing twenty-five to forty bushels
of wheat to the acre; or, if in oats,
from forty to ninety, and even as high
as hundred bushels per acre, or the
same splendid yields of fax or bar
ley, there is ample inducement to at
tract these hundreds of thousands who
are filling the present agricultural set
Elements and pushing forward into the
newer settlements year by year, and
leave room still for the hundreds of
thousands who will follow There re-
mains not only the agricultural wealth
of the country, but there are also the
social advantages, the home-making
privileges, apart altogether from the
financial opportunities, there is the life
and the energy born from the knowl-
edge that the settler Is more than a
unit in the upbuilding, in. the making
of a country that will soon rank
amongst the first in the nations of
the world. There is no desire on the
part Of the writer to dwell upon the
success that has followed the Ameri-
can settler in the Provinces Of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and
the coast Province of British Colum-
bia, or to speak Of the thousands of in
dividuals whose hundreds of dollars
have made them thousands, but atten-
ton must be paid to the fact that these
people have done well. They are fol-
lowed by their families and their
friends, who also are doing well.
Where, a few years ago, seemingly
only months ago, there was nothing
but the open prairie, or If we speak Of
the more central portions Of these
provinces, the park districts, there are
today well titled and cultivated farms,
large farms, too, and the herds of cat
tie. Cities and towns are the result of

Declares She Is Innocent of Shooting
Her Husband.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 5.-Mrs. Daisy
Opie Grace was declared not guilty
of trying to kill her husband by jury
here on Friday. AS the verdict was
announced Mrs. Grace cried out:
God bless you, gentlemen"
81 feel like kissing and hugging you
all, she said to the jury. 81 trusted
you all the time. | knew you would
not believe what they said about me"
Followed by a cheering throng, Mis-.
Grace soon left the courtroom and
went to the Offices of her attorneys.
The verdict was generally expected.
1t is conceded that the state failed to
sustain the charge that Mrs. Grace
had drugged and shot her husband and
locked him in to die in order to get
$4,000 insurance on his life.
Il don't care what the jury said" de-
clared the paralyzed husband. She's
guilty and she knows it,"
Mr.. Grace announced that he would
make c statement about the case and
at once sue for divorce.

ed this year The railroads are add
ing to their already large mileage and
have got ready for handling the crop
thousands of box cars The govern
ment agents and the railways are max
ing arrangements for from fifty to six
ty thousand extra farm hands in order
that the crop may be successfully and
quickly harvested, business men are
laying in larger stocks than usual, real
estate men are active, preparing for
the rush of business that is sure to
follow, and everywhere there Is the
note of optimism, which seems to be
perfectly justifable.
There is. as has been said, vast
area Of the country still open for set
tlement and demonstrating lying in the
center north. Speaking of this part
a writer, who made the trip when the
crop was in its green stage, said:
Gust now, the whole country Is a
beautiful sight, as it presents itself in
full dress of living green, varied in
shade, many places elegantly fringed
and interspersed with pleatings Of
ed flowers in rose, yellow, white, pink,
scarlet, cardinal and purple. In trav-
cling over the virgin soil, l have seen
some Of the most charming rolling
prairies, sloping hills, deep ravines,
mirrored lakes, artistic flower fields,
and natural parks that one could wish
to behold, and all placed there without
the aid of man. The land in general
is heavily matted with grass, mixed
with vetches and pea vines, nearly up
to the knee, and many millions OF
acres of which are going to waste
while beef, pork and mutton are soar
ling at prices heretofore unknown. The
comparatively small acreage under cul-
tivation reminds one of a few small
garden patches.
when we consider the estimated
crop of 30O,000,000 bushels of wheat
for 1912, to be produced on these west
ern prairies from these garden patches,
some faint idea can be formed by an
imaginative mind as to the immense
possibilities and rich heritage of a glo-
rious western Canada"
The estimate of the wheat crop, as
made by the writer quoted, is exces-
sive, but with even ESQ million bushels,
there will be great deal of satisfac.
ton on the part of the settlers.

A report dealing with the coal re-
sources of Canada has been issued by
the Dominion Department Of Mines.
The estimates given are only based on
what Is known. In the western and
northern regions, which have been
little explored, there may be vast de-
posits of which nothing whatever Is
known at present. The officials of the
department estimate that OF btu
minous coal there is in Canada 1917
billion tons; of anthracite 461 mil
lion tons; sub-bituminous and Ignite
over 100 billion tons. The quantity
of coal now annually mined in Canada
is about IL million tons. With an es-
timated quantity of unmixed good coal,
of IA billion tons, 1t would require
6,166 years to exhaust the supply II
the inferior grades were included, sup
ply would last for 1855 years. OF
course the coal demands of Canada
will keep on increasing, but 1t will be
a good many years before the quantity
of Canadian coal mined will equal
present output Of the United States
mines. Their annual output Is about
500.000,000 tons. At that rate it
would take only 145 years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply OF
good coal, and about $50 years to get
to the end Of the total supply. And
with the increasing population, made
up of about four hundred thousand per-
sons year (and it looks now as If this
number would be reached this year,,
one hundred and seventy-five thousand

northwestern Mississippi and northern

plight Of victims who have been rendered
homeless by the rush Of the waters from

established along the lines Of the levees at
various points, but owing to the inaccesst'
bility Of some Of the vrious points there Is
much suffering due to lack Of food.
At least 40 small towns have been mum
dated by the muddy waters from the big
stream, and It Is certain that many more
will feel the destructive effect OF the most
disastrous food in the history OF the val
ley.

been exhausted. Every street OF Tallulas
Is deep under water.
