Two or three days ago three immi- grants arrived in the city looking for positions on farms in the vicin- ity and two of thsm have' been mak- ing all kinds of trouble for Immi. gration Agent George Hunter since then One of the three is still working on a farm close to the city and his employer is quite satifiai with 'him, but the other two are now in "parts unknown." As they were raised in a city these two men wished to get a city but as the Government -paid their way from Montreal here providing they would work on a farm, they were quickly informed that it® was farm work for them, R. Balls and W. .J. Balls, Sunbury, wanted a couple of good men: and as these two seemed capable of do- ing any kind of work, after a little traning, Col. Hunter sent them out on the 'stage to the farms. Some- where between here and Sunbury the two dropped off the stage, leav- ing their overcoats in the possession of the stage driver. Since then they have not been seen, and word has been sént.to the Department so that if they dre caught the Government will be able to get back,.the money for their fares from Montreal to Kingston. job A 22nd BATTERYMAVN. Writes From Shorneclife--Gr. Baw- den Tells Of Experiences. Gunner A. Robert Bawden, son of George Bawaen, Newboro, with the 22nd Battery, 6th. Brigade, second C., E., F., writes as follows: "Since we left Kingston, we have not had a moment to ourselves, not even at Halifax for there the oniy glance I got at the City was on a | route march we had the first morn- ing we landed there We touched at Queenstown, Ire- land, and got ready to go ashore, but just as we were about to march eff, | orders came by wireless to- "stand fast", so we waited there for twenty- four hours, waving and yelling to Irish lasses, throwing pennies to kids, while women threw us oranges and apples. Queenstown has any- thing beaten-for seenery that I have ever seen. After twenty-four hours of yelling and cheering we sailed for Liverpool and landéd there safe and happy but very glad it was over. "As soon as we landed, we were hustled on board train and were rush ed to Shorncliffe Camp which _ has rows and rows of barrack rooms and buildings of all s8rts, making old "Tete de Pont" look extremely small. ""There are about thirty thousand | men stationed here and an aeroplane base. "We started right in to work as soon as we landed and are still going but it is nothing new now, and things are going like clock-work. We | hope not to bé here long. Our Major said he expects great things from us and every one is anxious for a chance." 3 Vaudeville At The Grand.

The derrick scow that drifted ashore at Macdonald Park on Mon day morning, and which was released the same night, was docked at . the Davis Company on Wednesday 1 after- noon. The scow contains a derrick capable of lifting twenty-five tons. On account of the bulky size of this craft, although it went ashore on a flat rock, it is thought several planks were smashed. A thorough examina- tion will ke made of the hull and it will require the remainder of the week before the scow will be able to be re-floated. The * Thunder Company was in hopes of resuming operations on the new causeway at once, but with this misfortune hap- pening it is going to set them back some time. Other equipment has. al- ready been gotten into shape. A dispute has arisen as was to blame for the breakin of the scow: 'It is claimed defective tow-line was used.

London, April 15. The Official Gazette announces a new departure on the part of the Treasury for fin- ancing the war, Instead of treas- CANADIAN ury bills being: issued from time to time by tender, as previously was the case, there will be an unlimited js- fue of such bills. The Bank of Eng- land, acting on behalf of the Treas- ury, is now empowered to offer trea sury bills daily, for either three, six or nine months, according to the fancy of the purchaser, the hills to bear a fixed rate of interest, to be de { termined from time to time by the Treasury. In the opinion of bankers, the new operation, if skilfully, handled, wir in addition to steadying the market, provide the Government with all nec- essary resources for. considerable period, and obviate 'the necessity for another war loan for a long time.
