FLOWERS FROM
THE HOLY LAND

A bed OF brilliant red poppies
blooming on the lawn at the home
of Mrs. Henry Grant, Pennsylvania
avenue has been attracting much at
tention. These poppies, which close
ly resemble California poppies, are
unusually interesting, inasmuch as
they are the outcome Of a few which
we're originally brought from Christs
tomb in the garden near Jerusalem.
Mrs. Grant secured them while
travelling in the Holy Land, nine
years ago. and planting them on her
return has each year saved the eds
and replanted them and the result
is the beautiful bed of poppies which
is steadily growing larger.

 FAVORS RELATIVES

Washington, b. C., Jan. B. The governments threatened prosecution of the O'Gara Coal Company and officials of the New York Central lines for alleged re- abting will come to a focus in Chicago not later than next Tues day.
 The ease, which has been un- der investigation by the federal grand jury in Chicago, is said to have developed evidence upon which the Department of Justice has been considering the draw ing of indictments. It is said the possibility of compromise by the imposition of large fines has been one of the settlements proposed.
 It is alleged the New York Gen. tral lines paid rebates aggregat- ing $60,OOO to the O'Gara Coal Company, a Chicago concern, in which certain relatives of the railroad officials are interested.

 MANY POINTS
Surrender of Adrianople the Only Debatable Ground Between
 Peace and War.

London, Jan. 3.--A sudden change has come over the war situation owing to the firm atti- tude assumed by the Allies, and a knowledge on the part of the Turks that further delay would mean a resumption of hostilities.
 Today the Turks have ceded all the demands of the Balkan dele gates except the surrender of Ad- rianople. This the Allies insist upon and Dr. Hadneff, chief of the Bulgarian delegation, threatened a resumption of hostilities un- less Adrianople was surrendered. With this point of controversy settled the road to peace ~1N be smooth.

COLD RECITAL
 DASTARDLY CRIME

Moosejaw, Sask., Jan. 3.--Mrs. Ralph Warwick, a pretty young English woman, confessed last night at a coroner's inquest that she and Stanley Price, a neigh boring farmer, had plotted to kill her husband at heP home near here three weeks ago and had succeeded. Price stayed at a ho- tel here last Sunday and it was al the inquest over his body that the woman made the, confession.
 Mrs. Warwick gave as the mo- tive for the murder, the officials say, a desire to gain possession of her husbands property and marry Price. She said that Price met Warwick in the latter's sta- ble one night about three weeks ago and struck him on the head with a piece of scantling, killing him instantly. He then threw the body under the horses feet in an effort to make it appear that he had been trampled upon. The police traced the crime to Price, who came to Moosejaw, where he killed himself.

'SC0TTY' WINS
 THE FIRST: RACE
Preliminary to the Nome-soio- mon and Return Race, old
 Champion Wins Short Dash

"Scotty" Allan, winner of the Nome Sweepstakes of last win ter, added another victory to his list on Thanksgiving day, which marked the opening of the rac- ing season on Seward peninsula.
 The Thanksgiving race was a dash to Fort Davis and return. The trail was in excellent condl- tion and splendid time was made. There were nine teams entered, including practically all of the best dogs in the camp.
 The race was the occasion of unusual interest, which is taken as an indication that this will prove one of the best racing sea- sons the camp has seen in late years. The streets were crowded both at the start and at the fin ish. and a lot of money changed hands on the result.
 The following race took place on the last day of the year, which is known as Carnival day. The teams ran to Solomon and return for a purse of $500 for the win ner, and S2OO for the first team reaching Solomon.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING EXPLAINED
Cedar Rapids Policeman Killed Dur
ing Jail Delivery Excitement Was
Shot by Fellow OFFICER.

Cedar Rapids.-Further investiga-
ton regarding the death Of Patrolman
Charles P. Gillin Of the Cedar Rap
ids department who was shot and
killed during an attempted jail deliv-
cry at Marion has brought to light
ample evidence that Gillia was killed
accidentally by one of his brother Of
ficers. One of the policemen was
armed with a large caliber automat-
ic revolver, with which he struck
Harvey Lee on the head during the
fight. The blow exploded the wea-
pom, and it is believed the bullet
passed entirely through Gillin's body
and wounded another officer in the
hand. Harvey Lee, the alleged bank
robber, who exploded two charges Of
nitro-glycerin in the Jail, blowing
open his cell door and section of
the wall, is lodged in the city jail
here for safe keeping, together with
the other more dangerous prisoners.

The BAROME TER OF THE POST
OFFICE, THE READING OF
WHICH SHOWS WESTERN
CANADA'S GROWTH.

Several of Western Canada news.
papers coming to hand during the
last part of the year 1912 contained
items of news such as the following.
speaking Of the Christmas work In
the postof1ce: Il
/ "Other years have been heavy and
the employees have had plenty Of OPP
portunity Of learning what 1t was to
work overtime, but the past has had
nothing equal to the present. Forty
extra men have been employed Tin
Winnipeg), and mail trains have been
run special. The increase in the mail
this year has been due to the enor-
nous influx OF people into Western
Canada during the season, and also
the general prosperity which the
prairie provinces have enjoyed. To
the latter cause has been due the
heavy increase in the number OF par
cells which have been shipped to the
old country and Eastern Canada"
The above extract taken from .
Winnipeg paper gives fair idea Of
the great work that the Canadian
postohlces have had all through the.
western prairies. During the past
year hundreds of new postofflces were
established, many of them at remote
points from the railway, but all forced
upon the country on account OF the
new settlements that have taken
place during the year. It is said OF
the Canadian government that in its
immigration and settlement policy
there Is nothing left undone to take
care Of the people and their welfare,
whether it be in the new town along
a new line of railway or in the re-
hottest hamlet. This solicitude and
care are not confined to the postof-
fee, but with every branch that has
to do with organizing new districts.
Bridges have been built, roads con-
structed, the district policed, and
dozen other things have to be done
and are done. Is 1t any wonder that
with the splendid land, the higN
yielding land, the land that-is free to
the homesteader or open to purchase
at reasonable prices from the railway
and land companies, that the Cana
dian immigration records for 1919
will show arrivals Of upwards OF
100000, one-half Of this being from the
United States. The new literature
being sent out by the immigration
branch at Ottawa, and Its agenciesi
throughout the United States deals
with many Of the new and interesting
features that will mark the work OF
that branch for the year 1913.-Ad-
