40 In Western Canada. There may
sometimes be found one who will say

period Of equal length. 40 have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions so favorable 40 those that
exist in Western Canada today.
The provinces OF Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan. and Alberta have the
largest area Of desirable lands on the
North American Continent, and their
cultivation has just begun.
Even with two hundred million
bushel wheat crop less than eight per
cent. Of tn land is under the plough,
four per cent. being in wheat. Less
than five years ago the wheat crop
was only seve1.y-one million bushels.
It is a simple calculation to estimate
that II four per cent. of the available
cultivable area produces something
over two hundred million bushels,
what will forty-four per cent. producef
And then look at the immigration that
is coming into the country. In 1901
It was 49,149; $1,000 being from the
United States. In 1906 It was 1S9. .064,
Of which $1,000 were Americans. and
in 1912 It was about 400, 900, Of which
about 100000 are Americans. In the
three years prior to 1912. there were
35S,s59 persons who declared them
selves for Canada, who brought into
Canada 10 cash, bank drafts, stock,
implements and effects over $3.50, ,000.-

Ter. Manager Frank Harrell will, on
Thurday, open the big doors of the
Hotel Winecoff to the public.
Every one is invited to inspect the
latest addition to the chain of mag
pifcent hotels in Atlanta, and to par
tcipatA in the merry festivities of
| the big opening day.
The slverware for the Winecoff,
some 1000 beautiful pieces, was re-
celved Tuesday from New York. It
contains the very latest designs in
silver service and cost $4,000. The
new hotel will be one of the few in
the South that uses an all-silver
service in the dining room.
Oriental Rug a Feature.
Another thing of beauty which was
received Tuesday is an Oriental rug
costing $4,000. Originally it was
made for a Persian Prince and dur
ing the late trouble in Turkey it was
coniscated. Later it was imported
to this country. 1t is the largest and
most costly south of New York city.
The Winecof, located at Ellis and
Peachtree streets, was built on the
highest point IN Atlanta. The cost
of the hostelry, including the site,
building and furnishings, totals close
10 81 100000.
There are 200 rooms in the hotel
and each has private bath, and from
'wo to five windows. All the rooms
are outside rooms and afford an ex-
cellent view Of the city.

The furnishings throughout the en-
IRE building are beautiful. All the
decorations are hand painted. The
lobby is of Italian marble and big
French windows here allow the pa
IRONS to watch the crowds which pass
by on Peachtree street. The rattan
furniture was imported.
The rooms are carpeted in solid
colors, the Winecoff being the sec
ond hotel in America to adopt this
style. Mahogany furniture is used
throughout. The hotel is absolutely

Sl5 a day as Legislators, which would
bring their incomes up to $2S day dur
ing the trial had not they already drawn
their salaries.
This scale of compensation Is pro-
vided by the constitution of the State
The code Of criminal procedure, however
says that Senators are entitled TO receive
the same compensation as associate JUS

ting in a court OF impeachment, which Is
$4,000 a year, with expenses of $S7O0. II
is contende, by some that the Legisla'
ture had no authority to enact law
which clashed with the constitution, and
probably the Senators will look at it ir
the same way and be satisfied with theiI
so a day.

FISHERMEN ARE CATCHING

with bass and perch plentiful and the
water clear, fishermen are reaping a
harvest. There are more bass and perch
in the river than ever before, and they
are larger. Along the Georgetown chan
mel a number OF launches anchor each
day. Among the well-known fishermen
are Capt James Raleigh, OF the District
fireboat; Dave Poole, manager Of local
barber shop. and Fred STANCE, Of the
Metropolitan Police Department.
A peculiarity about the bass is that II
bites twice. The first time he takes the
smelt from the tail to the head and
scales him. OF course, the cork Will
disappear under the water. 1t then comes
to the surface and the bass swims
short distance from the bait The next
time the bass takes the bait he swallows
it and goes his way, with the result
that he is landed every time. Some
anglers pull their line the first time the
cork goes under the water. with the re-
suit that often they miss the bass.
There is a fish in the Potomac River
that has proven not only that 1t Is
worthless. but destructive. This is the
carp. The carp destroys all spawn that
1t comes in contact with, and thousands
of young fish are killed every year BY
this river pirate.
The halfway tree just below the Steel
Plant wharf is considered by many as
the best perch fishing spot, and num-
Der of launches may be found anchored
OF this point all day Sunday and holi-
days and often through the week. -

accompanied by the Maryland veterans,
under command of John II. King, The

More than 1000 veterans passed through
the city last night en- route TO the en-
Campment
Reports from Chattanooga indicate that
tics years encampment will surpass all
previous encampments, although the
ranks Of the veterans have been greatly
thinned by death. Preparations have
been made TO accommodate from $500 to
100, 600 visitors
Interest in the elections to be held by
the G. a. r. and affiliated organizations
next week centers in the support to be
given Mrs. Isabel Worrell Ball, national
vice president of the Woman's Relief
Corps, for the presidency of the national
organization. Mrs. Ball was elected to

OLD POCKETBOOK GAME
IS WORKED ONCE MORE
Two Men Who Perpetrate il on
Woman Said to Have Netted
Seven DoIlarH.

The ancient pocketbook game again
was worked successfully yesterday aft
ernoon, according to Emma Davis, of
l222 Water Street, who made complaint
to the police of the First Precinct.
This time the trick netted the perpe-
traitors s.. 1t was executed just as il
was a week ago and the police suspect
that the same two men were concerned.
The game was worked by two men
who found" the pocketbook at the cor
ner of Tenth Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue. The Saturday previous it was
discovered" at the corner of the Ave
nue. and D Street, only about fifty feet
distant.
The game is as old as the hills. A
pocketbook is picked up in front OF an
innocent passerby and the principals in
the swindle disclose a number of crisp
bills inside. An offer TO divide with the
third person is made, but change is
necessary, which he or she is asked to
produce. If the change is forthcoming
it is grabbed, and the finders" of the
pocketbook promptly disappear.
The police have the descriptions of two
colored men, said to have participated
in the trick yesterday, and arrests are
expected soon.

presented to Gov. Felker on Tuesday.
II Gov. Felker sets the date for the
hearing later in the week, Thaw's pres

several days.
Thaw was greatly cheered this even
ing when he was shown a copy OF the
petition, which is signed by 1000 citi-
zens Of ColebroOk, asking Gov. Felker
not to eKtradite him. In addition, he
was informed that a spontaneous
movement had begun among his SYM
pathizers to secure thousands Of sig
natures TO petitions in every county
of the State.
Thaw made public the following copy
of letter which was written by his
mother to Gov. Felker. The letter
reads:

he had been gone for three-quarters Of

the hotel where Thaw is confined Gre
ated some excitement by crying out,
'Thaw Is being kidnapped"
Half a dozen deputies awoke from
their hastily snatched slumbers and the
corridor about Thaw's room soon bristIed
with guns, Sheriff Drew, who sleeps in
Thaw's room, drew two 4fs and stood
guarding the approach like a New Hamp-
shire HCratio,
Poker games and beds were disturbed
and the newspaper men stumbled out
into the corridor. Finally the man who
had caused the excitement approached
the dressed group and explained his
joke.
Wild tales OF the "Iidnappfng~ were
circulated. and Chief OF Police Kelly,
who appeared on the scene not more

men that six men had made a bold at
