A faulty chimney 1s alleged to have? heen the cause of the, blaze, Al- though part of the contents of the home were saved, the house, with most of the furniture, was burned to the ground, Mr, Ainsworth had his residence and contents only partly insured and will suffer a heavy loss from the fire, The house itself was a two-storey structure of frame con- struction, Since there is mo fire depart- ment in Wellington little could he done to fight the fire which spread through the house rapidly.

Located yesterday lying indy hon of a small ravine, he d to Port Hope Hospital. Pneumonia set in and he died today. More than 100 farmers of the Plainville dis- trict took part in the search which brought rescue too late, Search- ers declare that they scoured the ravine where the man was found earlier and believe that during part of the time Nurse, his memory a blank, was deliberately eluding the men combing the country to save his life, He was known to suffer from loss of memory, local of- ficials have been informed. Nurse disappeared on Wednesday, two days after he had come from his bome at Bridgenorth to visit his son-in-law, William King. It is be- | lieved he suffered a mental lapse when exploring woods om the Tower Farm, where he had spent his boyhood. Wednesday evening the search started.

In this connection, as throughout its history, the Canadian Pacific is doing a pioneer work in Canada. We are closely watching the development of aviation in the belief that Canada with its widely scattered centres of population offers a particularly promising field for its employment," Air transport is, of course, faster than any other and although the dare deviltry of some reckless, stunting pilot resulting in injury and loss of life has earned front page prominence on occasion, it is safer than automobile transport, "Argosies of magic sails" is not a distant wision, New York, Oct. 16.--The victim of a hazardous climbing stunt which sent him hurtling to the street from a four-inch ledge out- side a window of the aparfment of his friends, Mortimer K, Wiske, on the sixth floor at No, 140 Kast 46th Street, Norman L, Sarginson, 23, an advertising salesman of Toronto, Canada, lay dead today in the morgue, Sarginson, according to detec- tives of the homicide squad, came here recently to visit Wiske, who is and advertising illustrator, Satur- day night Wiske gave a party in Sarginson's honor, Among the guests were Constance Ford, musi- cal comedy actress; Mrs, Dolores Cushing, of Sands Point, L.1.; Mrs. Edith Lewis, Charles Reisen of Brooklyn, and Al Powell, Crashed to Street The party was just sitting down at dinner at 10.30 when Miss Ford went into another room, Sargin- son excused himself also and went into still another room. A few minutes later Roland Palmer, the doorman, burst into the apartment and announced that Sarginson had just crashed dead at his feet in front of the building, Investigation by detectives of the East 51st Street Station show- ed that the young man had climbed out to the narrow ledge by the window, Foot prints indicated he had clambered along ,the wall as near as possible to Miss Ford's room. Inspired by his ardor to scorn dan- ger, he then leaped seven feet through space to the ledge of the other window. He managed to clutch it with his fingertips, but lost his hold. His hands were scratched and bleeding when ex- amined, : , After being questioned until seven o'clock this morning the guests went to the morgue, where Miss Ford made the official iden- tification, Torénto, Oct. 15.--Inquiry in local advertising circles failed to elicit any information as to the connections or past history of Nor- man L.

The coincidence in names may mean much or little-according to how you regard such things. But to Captain Enos C. Nicker- son they mean much, He is the skipper of the schooner and the father of little Eleanor, As his ves- sel has just heen proclaimed the high-liner for the year ending Au- gust 31, his opinion may be worth something. He is proud to proclaim that the curly haired daughter has been the inspiration that urged him on his quests to the North Atlantic fishing grounds. Statistics released by Nickerson's agents show that during the past year his vessel made the best re- cord of the fleet, He brought in 4,359,886 pounds of fish, the total catch being valued at $156,936.35. No other vessel seriously tnreaten- ed these figures, The poorest paid hand on the schooner received $3,300 cash for his year's work, to which must he added his food and lodging making an equivalent, it is estimated of a salary of approximately $5,000. The schooner's poundage would have been greater had it not been for eight salt fish trips, on which it required three pounds of fish caught to make one pound of fish delivered at the pier. FORBUSH HONORED, Westboro, Mass,, Oct. 16.--Upon his recent return from a visit to Nova Scotia in connection with his study of wild life, Dr Edward Howe Forbush, noted authority on wild birds and former state ornithologist was accorded an unusual honor. The Federation of Bird Clubs an- nounced that it had named the new 500 acre traet which it has present- ed to the state the Edward Howe Forbush Wild Life Reservation. MARKET FOR ESQUIMO PRODUCTS Boston, Oct. 16.-- Through the work of the New England Grenfeil Association an appreciable market is being developed here for the pro- duets of the Labrador Esguimos. It is the dity of the New England or- ganization to find a market for the various carved and other products of the northland that the inbabi- tants will have an incentive to work at the tasks zssizned by members of the Grenfell Mission in the land of ice and snow, BIRD LIFE 18 STUDIED NOW IN NOVA SCOTIA Aiding in Administration of the Bird Treaty Act Be. tween Canada and U.S, Halifax, N. S. Oct. 16.--In order to obtain accurate information re- garding the numbers, distribution, and migration of waterfowl for the purpose of aiding in the adminis- tration of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act between Canada and the United States, Dr. Harry C. Ober- holser of the Biological Survey, Washington, D. C., is at present in Nova Scotia, conferring with offic- jals of the Department of Lands and Forests. The Biological Survey in Wash- ington is part of the department of Agriculture, which aims at the con- gervation of wild life, with the ex- ception of fish, and particularly that of mammals and birds. A treaty has been maintained between Canada and the United States by which all migratory birds are protected, es- pecially by regulating the hunting of them, Hunting in the United States ex- tends over a period of more than three months, during which time many of the fowl migrate from Canada and are destroyed by hunt- ers of the other country. In order to avoid this it has been found nec- essary to organize a continent-wide census of the migrations and dis- tributions of the birds, Dr. Oberholser has heen over Canada with the view in mind of arranging with the federal and pro- vincial authorities for the found- ing of observation stations. At a designated day, once a month, esti- mates will be obtained of the distri- bution of the water-fowl. In both countries there are as present four thousand such stations, and the hope is that the number will be dotbled. CORRESPONDENCE CHESS Halifax, N. 8S. Oct. 16.--Certain- ly in the Pony Express dsy when letters were weeks "on the way," the person would have been con- sidered demented who predicted that games would some day be play- ed by correspondence. And yet for the last few years, although it is not generally known, correspondence chess has been played by the leading players in Canada. No longer need a. chess player confine his matches with those fn his locality. If he feels the meed for greater competition and the de- sire for keener games, he merely selects a player, whom he consid- ers should make a good contestant, and sends him a challenge. Should the player accept, he mails a move, making a corresponding move on a board which he keep for that par- ticular game. His opponent also makes the move and in turn mails one back. This is continued umtil the game fis won, PRODUCTION GOST 1S VERY RIGH IN AUSTRALIA Tariff Board Report Urges Remedy to Meet Strong Competition (By unadian Press) Canberra, Australia, Oct. 15.--The high costs of production, which are one of Australia's most serious diffi- culties, appear to have been main- tained, says the annual report of the tariff board, which says that a lower standard of living is the only alter- native if they are not reduced. Aus- tralia is dependent on overseas mar- kets, where the declining costs have increased the handicap. The tariff wall, adds the report, is markedly rising. In 1908 there were only eight items with ad valorem du- ties of 40 per cent, or more. In the present tariff there are 239 such items. In the manufacturing indus- tries much of the high cost of pro- duction is due to over-capitalization, high wages, short hours and restric- tion of output. Requests for in- creased wages and better conditions of labor are not always based on ent need for co-operation between the authorities fixing wages and those fixing the farmers' tariff. No doubt the tariff also has some influ- ence on the high cost of produe- tion by making possible the mainten- ance of a high standard of living. Coal Industry The coal industry is an example of industries unprotected by Customs duties which, nevertheless, reflect un- usually high production costs, Its position is lamentable. In 13 years the price has risen from $2.75 to $6.00 a ton, and exports have dim- inished in the ratio of 21 to 8. The effect of the high price of coal on the cost of production in other in- dustries cannot be overlooked. An- other contributing cause is the high freights on the Australian coast. Many manufacturers produce com- modities at a reasonable cost, but the charges for distribution makes the selling price unreasonably high. The maintenance of high costs of production and distribution is alarm- ing and demands co-operative effort to discover a remedy, the report con- tinues. Productivity must be the basis of all wages. If the joint ef- forts of employers and employees fail, it is worthy of consideration whether the Government should not fix the general maximum limit of tariff assistance which it is econo- mically sound to give any industry, leaving the employers and employees to adjust the cost of production to a basis which allows successful com- petition with imported goods, Unless the costs of production can be re- duced there is no alternative but to reduce the standard of living, which would be highly undesirable, the re- port concludes. INEXPERIENCED MEET ACCIDENTS Montreal, Que., Oct, 16--Eighty- five per cent. of the accidents in gteel mills centre about the man who has been in the mill less than a month and 12 per cent, of similar accidents occur to the man with less than six months' experience, according to a safety leaflet issued by the Province of Quebec Safety League. The biggest part of acci- dent-prevention work starts with the correct training of the new man, the leaflet points out, "A new hand come to the plant a stranger," say the leaflet, "He gets down to work. Perhaps under the concentration of his job he for- gets his unfamiliarity with the equipment, He takes liberties with the machines as he has been in the habit of doing in the plant where he worked previously. Somebody should he responsible for the in- struction of the mew men in acel- dent prevention." The league sug- gests, through its leaflet, that each company should have a "Blue Book"--a book containing safety rules for that particular plant com- piled with the experience of others.
