IA dcspatch from Winnipeg says: central Saskatchewan, where local 111 an interview with Premier Rob- lin, who has had thirty years’ ex- perience in farming and in the grain business, and who has coverâ€" ed many parts of the Province in the past week in his election tour, he expressed his views on the crop situation in Manitoba. He declares that even with the most favorable conditio's from now on Manitoba cannot possibly harvest more than half a crop in 1910, and, he adds, that another week of heat without rain will mean practically no crop at all. The same story was told by one of the biggest wheat operators of Chicago and Minneapolis, who spent a week in the Province sat- isfyinghimself at first hand as to ‘ the prospects. The G. T. P. issued, on Wednes- day afternoon, a crop report show- p ingthat for 120 miles west of Win- mpeg the wheat is in--bad shape, in some places being burned red. West of Bigger conditions are more fav-l arable throughout northern and Md.â€" NO OUTLET FOR WHEAT. ~â€"â€"- A Serious Situation is Created at Montreal. 'A despatch from Montreal says: There is a wheat blockade here, and grain is. steadily flowing from the west. The elevators here are full, and there is little export, so that the situation is serious for the grain-carriers of the lakes. There are ten now lying at the elevator, with no space to unload, and some have been there for almost a week. Each day means a loss of about $200 and more carriers are arriving daily. The reason of the block is that the buyers for export are about 10 cents off the Canadian price, and so there is practically no export wheat. The commissioner’s elevator has a million bushels and cannot get rid of it. Mr. James Carruthers says that it looks as if Europe did not want a bushel of wheat from Canada, and the grain men of Canada would have to get together and devise some way out of the difficulty. MAKE 'rnff’ ,IN A DAY. Route Into Porcupine Has Been Misrepresented. ‘A despatch from Toronto says: P. H. Heimer, M.E., who has spent a week in the Porcupine camp, with a view to purchasing claims, says: “Considering the age of the camp, I believe that it has a very bright future before it. Things are ra- ther quiet at present, but indica~ tions are that there will be consid- erable activity within a month or so. The bugbear of the camp at present is the inexcusable lack of transportation facilities. However, the conditions with regard to the accessibilitv of the camp have been greatly misrepresented and it is a very easy trip for one to make P-chupine from the steel in one day.”- BOY DIED OF LOCKJAW. Lost Life Through Small Wound in the Ear. A despatch from Toronto says: Lockjaw originating in a small wound in the ear caused the death of Harry Jones, aged 7 years, at Mimico, on Friday afternoon. The boy, who lived at 214 Howland showers have been more or less fre- quent and the heat is not so great- Southern Manitoba is to date the greatest sufferer, and in many dis- tricts the farmers have practically given up hope of saving anything. A special crop report issued on Wednesday by The Winnipeg Free Press says:â€"â€"-“The hot, dry wea- ther which has existed for the last ten days has at last aWakened the public to the fact that the general condition 'of the crops is anything but booming. The consensus of opinion seems to be that the crops to the south of the C. P. R. main line in both Manitoba and Saskatâ€" chewan are considerably damaged. North of the C. P. R. main line there are sections which have been seriously . damaged, but on the whole the cropsappear to be in a: retty fair condition." Mr. McKay, Superintendent of the Experimental Farm at Indian Head, claims that the crops in that locality never before looked better at this time of the year. avenue, was pushed from a fence at Huron street school by a play- fellow on June 21. A small twig pierced the lobe of one ear. The injury was not considered danger- ous, however, and he went to Mi- mico with his parents. On Thurs- day last lockjaw developed,‘and he died in spite of the efforts of Dr. Forbes Godfrey, 'of Mimico, and Dr Clarke, of Toronto. - __>I4..,._. GUNNER LOST ARM AND EYE. Was Firing Sunset Gun at Royal Canadian Yacht Club. A despatch from Toronto says: While attempting to load a small cannon preparatory to firing the sunset gun, Elmer Smith, 18 years of age, was seriously injured at the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, at Centre Island, on Saturday. He was taken to St. *Michael’s Hos- pital, where his right arm was amâ€" putated below the elbow. He was badly wounded about the head and the sight of one eye was dtstroyed. Smith had been employed at the yacht club only for a short time, but had fired the gun at sunset on four successive days without acci- dent. On Saturday, according to one report, the blank cartridge used in the cannon jammed in such a way that the breech would not lock. Smith thereupon attempted, it is said, to drive the charge into its place with a second cartridge, which exploded in his hands. â€". â€"â€"._â€".-.,z’__ QUARREL OVER A GIRL. it Fatal Brawl at 9. Morning Dance in New Brunswick. A despatch from Moncton, says: News received from Covervale, Al- lbcrt county, tells of a fatal brawl there at a dance on Friday morn- ing. James Power, aged 23, an Intercolonial Railway employee, is dead, and Thomas Connolly, an Intercolonial fireman, has given himself up to the police. One wit- ness says there was trouble over a girl; that Power had gone to the verandah of the house and Con- nol‘y followed him, this witness says, striking him several times on the head and neck. He fell and was carried into the house, where he died twenty minutes later, with- out making any statement. A Dill llllllliS l‘ll Bl} Bil LT Plans Have Been Approved For Sault Ste. Marie and Vancouver. 'A despatch from Ottawa says: {ins for two large drydocks have n approved by the Government. One is to be built at Sault Ste. Marie, and the other at Vancouâ€" ver. The Sault dock is to be sev- en hundred feet long and 0055: nine hundred thousand dollars. It will nccommodatc the largest craft on the great lakes, a number of which are over six hundred feet long. The Government- will pay on this dock : subsidy of three per cent. for twenty years on the cost. The Vancouver dock is to be one'of the second-class, and on it the Govern- ment has agreed to pay a subsidy of three and one-half per cent. for twenty-five years on the cost up to $1,200,000. This is to be a floating dock, with a lifting capacity of fif- teen thousand tons, and is, there- fore, capable of handling the larg- est craft sailing to Canada at the present time. . The company con- template the operation of.a car con- struction plant in conjunction with its drydock and shipbuilding and repairing industry. The car works will involve an additional outlay of half a million dollars. There will he no subsidy upon this. .. 1-. ......._..,T. , nu nu GOULlTH l’l‘ll’S Blllml unronrs anon run LEADING TRADE ons'rnns. - l’riccs of Cattle.
