Deportation of ’l‘hew Directly to New York Considered Unlikely. A despatch from Ottawa. says: The last instruct-ions issued from the immigration Department to the officers in Sherbrooke afford a. gleam of hope for Thaw, inasmuch as the officers are not directed spe- cifically to depOrt Thaw at the New York State boundary. The instruc- tions are to carry out the regula- tions in regard to Thaw, as they would be: carried out in regard to any other man. That leaves the officials free to send Thaw back the way he ciime, the usual course, if they see fit. The view of the immi- gration authorities seems to be that while Thaw is entitled to no favors, at the some time they are not call- ed upon to go out of their way to rejudice his chances. It. is be- lieved here that Thaw in accordâ€" ance with the instructions to “carry out the law” will re-entcr the United Stet-es at or near the point . of his entry into Canada, and is in no danger of being taken to the New York State line. Jerome to Act for State. A despntch from Albany, N.Y., says: William Travers Jerome, formerly district attorney of New Yerk City, was appointed by Attorney-General Carmody on Fri- day a. special Deputy Attorney- Gencral. Mr. Jerome was specially designated to represent the state in procuring the return of Harry K. Thaw to New York’s jurisdic- tion. He was selected because of his entire familiarity with the Thaw case gained in the two murder trials and as special counsel in sev- eral attempts of Thaw to establish his sanity by legal procedure. It is not the present intention to send Mr. Jerome to Canada, where Deputy Attorney-General Kennedy is directing the state’s case, but to employ his services in procuring the extradition of Thaw from any state to which he may be deported from Canada. .._â€".â€"â€"JI4 SETTEERS ARE nanvno. Downpour of Rain. Checks Fires in Muskokzi. A despatch from Parry Sound says: The rain of Friday has saved further destruction of property by the.,bush fires,_gnd in many where the fire fighters had grown weary of their long fight and had almost given up hope the heavy downpour has effectually quenched the fires, and no further trouble is antici« puted. The 'few fires that- are left after the drenching rain.will burn themselves out Without doing fur- ther damage. The extent of the loss in this district is not yet known, but from the extreme north to the south of the Muskoka. dis- trict, a distance of nearly a. bun- dred miles, the fires have been more or less prevalent. The air is free from smoke, and the anxiety of the settlers is ollay'ed, and now only the rekconing up of the dam- age remains. .â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-’."â€"â€"â€"-â€"- NOVA SCOTIA FIRE-SWEPT.

Two Train-Loads oi Newcomers will Purchase Farms in Canada. A despatch from Winnipeg says: Two important special trams ar- rived in western Canada. on Thursâ€" , day morning, bringing 650Ifnrmers The interâ€" est attached to the newcomers is the fact thwt they have no intention of going homesteuding, but, on the other hand, they have left their us.- t-ive country with the idea, of pur- chasing farms and settling down in the Canadian west. The first of these trains came in by way of North Portal, and brought 275 per- sons from Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Wisconsin. « They arrived under the guidance of the C.P.R. department of nat- ural resources, ‘and are bound for Calgary. Some of them possess from $3,000 to $40,000, and on- the whole they averaged $10,000 apiece. The second special train come through Emerson, and carried 376 homeseekers for the Lost Mountain Valley district. The members of the party hailed from VViscon-sin, Iowa. and India-no.

A. Lawrence, minister of agriculture, has just. returned from a. trip through the south coun- try and reports the crops throughâ€" out the country in. splendid‘condi- tion, with harvesting in full sway at almost every point. The crop promises to grade higher than last year. Recent storms that swept over the country were reported to have done greet damage, but the damage appears to have been more imaginary than real. There is good demand for harvest help, but a. steady stream of workers is pouring into the province from the east and from the British Isles.

A desputch from Toronto says: For the second time in a. month the Provincial Health authorities are concerned with an outbreak of smallpox at Collin’s Inlet, on Geor- gian. Bay.

APPLE FAMINE IN ONTARIO. Fears Entertainod that Output Will Not Be Half Normal Yield. That there will be an supple fam- ine in Ontario this season is preâ€" dicted in the crop report recently issued by the Provincial Depart- ment of Agriculture. According to the statements of the Government correspondents throughout the pro- Vince, the apple crop will be re- markably light, and under excepâ€" tionally favorable conditions will not equal half the normal yield of the orchards. From the first of the season the apple trees have suffered greatly from early frosts and subse~ quen-t dry spells, While even in many of the sprayed orchards the scab ravages have been very bad. The tent caterpillar has also been bad in the Eastern sections, and some orchards have been greatly defoliarted. The early frosts have also injured the vineyards badly, and the grape crop will be but small. The pear yield will be good, while plums and peaches will be fully up to the yield of lost your. The reports of the groin crop show that the average yield per acre is large. The grain is plump end of excellent color, and, al- though the unfavorable conditions prevailing in the early Spring caused some anxiety, the excellent weather following eliminated any bad effects which might have result- ed. The barley, oats and spring and full wheat yield is heavy, c.1- though the rye is said to'bc only fair. The grain has been free from any blight, and there are practical- ly no complaints of smut, rust or ravages of insects. The straw, how- ever, although clean and of good quality, is remarkably short. The pea. crop will be fair, the yield in Northern Ontario being exception- ally good, while the bean yield is heavy. Corn also will have a. good. yield. A , In the opinion of farmers the potato crop will be only fair this year. In some districts the reports showthat there is practically no crop at all, while others state that the yield will be good. They will .u be undersized, however, owing to: the midsummer drouth, but the quality will be good. The tubers, have been exceptionally free from: Colorado beetles. The -root eropd will also be fairly good, although the turnip yield will be larger than that of mangels.‘ - K‘â€" DECIDEDLY OPTIMISTIC. Bank of-Comnicrcc Olliciol Finds Business Outlook Good.
