A despatch from Cape Town, Union of Sou* Africa, says: â€" The Prince of Wales, looking bronzed and much more robust than when he came to South Africa, sailed from Simon's Town, the naval station, for South America at four o'clock Wednesday afternoon. He will go by way of St. Helena. The Prince said he never felt bet- ter in his life and had enjoyed the climate enormously. "I feel that I have got to know Eomething about South Africa," he re- marked, "and I hope I can now be re- j (jarded as a good South African." j Prior to sailing the Prince knighted i Rear Admiral Fitzmaurice, Command- â-  er-in-Chie£ of the African station, on i the quarterdeck of the flagship Birm- I ingham, in the presence of the Gover- nor-General, the Earl of Athlone, and ibe ship's officers.

THE WEEK'S MARKETS HRE DAMAGE FIGURES LOWER IN ONTARIO Factories Were Principal Suf- ferers During the Past Six Months. A despatch fron: Toronto says: â€" The toll of damage occasioned by fires continues to show a steady decline in Ontario. Figures for the first six months of 1925, issued by ihe Provin- cial Fire Marshal, revealed a total Joes of $5,148,463, as compared with a total loss of 56,63*2,710 for the corres- ponding period of last year, the de- crease being $1,484,247. For the '^onth of June past, the total lose was $974,689, as compared with $1,260,640 for the same month a year ago, the decrease being $285,951. During the month of June the chief fires in Ontario were one at Hagers- vllle, in which the loss waa $99,600, we at tht» Minaki Inn, at Kenora, in which the loss was $200,000, and one at the Bartlett's store in Windsor; in which the loss waa $57,430. So far during 1926 factories have been the principal sufferers in Ontario flres. Some 194 of them have been visited by flames, with resultant loss of $2,315,384. Closely following them tb the matter of damage incurred «ome retail buainess places, 579 of which have been the scene of confla- grations wth consequent loss of $2,- 006,178. During the half-year there bave been 3,650 dwellings on fire, in which the damage has run to $1,660,- 400. Farmers' barns to the nvunber d 354 have been affected by outbreaks aad the loss in this department has been $481,000. m « Germans to Celebrate Zeppelin's 2Sth Jubilee A despatch from Friedrichshavwi â- ays: â€" The twenty-fifth anniversary of the first Zeppelin flight will be cele- brated in this city in August. On Ua first flight Count Zeppelin succeed- ed in remaining in the air twenty minutes. To the coming celebration prominent personalities in the world of economics and scienc« will be lu- sted. Count Fedninaod voa Zeppelin was bom at Conetanca, in Baden, Ger- many, in 18S8. During the American Chrti War he served as a volunteer la the Union Army. It waa while he VTM in America that he made his flrat snant in a battoon. He died in Ber- lin in 1917. Hudson Bay Pictured as Sununer Resort for Motorists A procession of tourists driving into the picturesque northland on their own family motor cars, fitted with flanged rims to grip tha rails of the Hudson Bay line, is the ingenious scheme proposed by R M. Haultain, a railway construction engineer of Winnipeg. Mr. Haultain believes that such traffic over the government railway will present no difficulties. To ob- viate any danger of accid^its, he would placard the line to the effect that the odd days of the month would be reserved for northbound traffic and the even days for southbound. Each car wooM be required to carry a light derailing shoe to provide for emergencies. The investment on the part of the railway company for flanged rims, trailers, steering gear locks, etc., would be negligible, declared Mr. Haultain, when compared with the increased revenue obtained from freighting cars to different points along the Hudson Bay line.

Japanese Mountaineers to Attempt Ascent of Rockies Under the joint auspices of the ToWo "Nichi Nichi." the Osaka "Malniahi" and the Japan Mountain- eering Society, an attempt will be made by a party of Japanese moun- tain climbers to ascend the heretofore insurmountable peaks of the Canadian Rockies. Tha party, which will be captained by Mr. Maki, one of the leading mountaineers of Japan, will include representatives from the Peers' School and Keio University. Final preparations will be made at Vancouver. The climbers wH start out from Jasper, with thirty horses and a num- ber of native gruides, and a base camp | will be established at the foot of Mount Colombia.

Practically every single district re- ports crops as "good," "excellent," "bumper." There has been no hail in Saskatchewan or Manitoba, and only 1 district out of 54 in Alberta reports hail damage. These Western representatives hold a week's convention in Winnipeg, and are taking two days out of the week this year to visit the Head of the Lakes terminals. Cutting will be general next month, with tho rye in Alberta all harvested now. Cutting will be in full swing in .'Vl- berta by .\ug. 15, by .-^ug. 20 in Sas- katcliewan. and a few days later in Manitoba.
