The vil- lagers quickly turned out to fight the blaze, but found it beyond them, Help was summoned from Napanee and Kingston, and the brigades of both palces responded to the call. The fire had leaped across the Napanee River, quite narrow at the village, and the power building caught fire and was badly wrecked. The damage is estimated at $50,000.

These three dolphins, or killers (as they are called) round up the whales with all the dexterity but not of the gentleness of sheep-dogs marshalling a flock of sheep. And because of their priceless value to the whalers the benevolent hand of the Government has been stretched out to protect the three dolphins, Stumpy, Humpy and Jimmy. Under that illustrious pat- ronage they enjoy the freedom of the New South Wales coast, south from Bermagui. On one day each year they are the subject of a solemn notice in the Government which chronicles the affairs of State, They are not mentioned by name--the whale killer (Orca Gladiator) family is embraced in the notice--but it is these three musketeers of the Pacific to whom the notice is intended to apply. The killer, or killer whale, often called the grampus, is the flercest of the dolphin family. It pursues the whale with the voracity of a hungry wolf, George Davidson, the whaler of Eden, who christened the fish Stumpy, Humpy and Jimmy, de- clares that without their support and vigilance the whaling industry at Twofold Bay would die. In 1922 the New South Wales Government decided to protect the killers which had attached themselves to David- son's whaling station.' Twenty MURDER AND SUICIDE Grand Rapids, Mich., April 29. --After shooting to death his wite, Mrs. Emma Corwin, aged 73, at his home here last night, Charles Lee Corwin, aged 71, killed him- self n a murder-and-suicide paet. The bodies were found in the basement of the home this morn- ing. Three notes were found in the living-room of the Corwin home indicated, according to Cor- oner H. C. Wolf, that the couple, worried as a result of Corwin's incurable illness and the poor health of 'Mrs. they would "be better off on the other side," according to the lan- guage of one of the notes, | of a start being made in seeding, Corwin, -decideds PRAIRIE SEEDING OPERATIONS START Land in Excellent Condition With Plenty of Moisture 'Winnipeg, April 30, -- With a continuation of - fine weather throughout, the western provinces, seeding operation were commenced in many districts, while in other sections plows and threshers were busy, according to reports from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al- berta centres. » Reports from the districts of Brandon and Portage La Prairle, west of Winnipeg, and from: Southern arpas of Manitoba, told and all recorded the land in excel- lend condition, with plenty of mois- ture. : The reports from Saskatchewan and Alberta follow: Regina--The seeder, plaugh and thresher have all been busy since the first of the week in the south- western part of Saskatchewan and sprung work is advancing at a rapid rate. Very little seeding has been done to date in the Regina area. Saskatoon--Seeding, which has already been commenced on some farms, will be general throughout the district by the end.of the week. Cultivating, harrowing, dis¢ing and plowing-- is already in progress, worth; south, east and west and spring work is proceeding at all points. . General Calgary--Continued fine weather throughout the province of Alberta to commence spring work in the flelds, according to an announce- ment made by W. S. Woods, sup- erintendent of the local committee has enabled many soldier settlera| of the Soldiers' Settlement Board. Seeding is becoming general in the southern parts of the province, Edmonton, Alta~--With midsum- mer weather prevailing, farmers began plowing in some sections of the district. Reparts indicate that Spring work will be general by May 1. This holds good along the C. N. R. main line both east and west of Edmonton and along the St, Paul and Athabasca branches, Work along the E. D. and B. C, up to Peace River will be commenced about May 5. The outlook is stated to be most promising in the Peace River Dis- trict, the estimate being for an in- crease of twenty per cent in the crop this year owing to new break- ing. Easy breaking conditions with wet weather resulted in much land being broken throughout the prov- ince last year, A good many Canadians are gorry that the horrors of the Great War are being so y.vidly re- called by that trial at Cobourg.-- St. Catharines Standard. g years ago there were 15 of the killers, Now there are only three. It is interesting to follow Hum- py, Stumpy and Jimmy when they swim out of the bay on a whaling expedition, They are wonderfully skilful in their manoeuvres and their co-ordination is as good as a football team's. When' they sight a whale they close upon it, and head it off to- wards the bay -- and towards George Davidson. He is a clever whale who can elude them, or ex- tricate himself from their clutches, They fling themselves on the flanks of the monster, and tear its flesh if it attempts to get away. Sometimes a long, fierce battle is fought, the whale lashing the sea into foam with his powerful tail; but Stumpy, Humpy and Jim- my. are alert in avoiding danger, Gradually they force the whale in- to shallow water, repelling his des- perate efforts to escape until the moment comes when Davidson com- pletes its capture, Then Humpy, Stumpy and Jimmy look for their reward-- the tongue of the whale, They will eat no other part of the prize, Davidson would never forget to toss them this delicacy. If he failed to give the dolphins their just re- ward they might not heel any more whales into the bay for him, This close, intelligent co-opera- tion between master and fish is a perfect partnership of the sea. Davidson is more than satisfied with their service, and the killers make a happy home in the bay un- til the whaling season is over, Stumpy, Humpy and Jimmy have not yet become so famous as New Zealand's Pelorous Jack, the familiar friend of seamen in Aus- tralasian waters. Pelorous Jack used to lead vessels entering Pelorous Sound along the channel towards Nelson (New Zealand) as accurately as any pilot, For this service the New Zealand Govern- ment passed special legislation to protect him, But Pelorous Jack was 'a brifliant free-lance, a proud and lonely individualist. Stumpy, Humpy and Jimmy merit lasting yemembrance in the chronicles of the Pacific because of the loyalty of their partnership, and their ad- mirable "team spirit."
