Assassination is Discussed by the American Association. A Washington despatch says :â€"At the American Health Association, during a. discussion on the bubonic plague, the statement was made that rats undoubtedly disseminate the plague. Surgeon-Gen. Wyman ex- pressed the belief that an interna- tional agreement is entirely practi- cable, having for its object the fumi- gation of all vessels that have dis- charged their cargoes for the purpose of killing rats. In support of the theory that rats convey the plague. it was said to be an established fact that an epidemic of plague invariably starts with a. new crop of rats.

In de- livering the hammer one of the comâ€" petitors, a. medical student, threw wild to one side.

Brod- erick, Manager of the Molsons Bank RATS AND THE PLAGUE Son Suffered Twenty-six Year’s Imprisonment. A Berlin, Germany, despatch says : â€"-A bricklayer,_ named Burmeis’ter, who has served 26 years in the penâ€" itentiary, though innocent of the crime for which he was sentenced, has just been released under singular circumstances. In 1877 Burmeis'tcr and his father undertook to commit a burglary at the house of a. farmer at Damsdorf,_ Sehleswigâ€"Hoistein, and Burmeister’s father in so doing shot and killed the farmer and his wife. At the trial the son confessed that he fired the fatal shots. Both men were sentenced to death, but a peti- tion to the Emperor secured a change in the sentence 'to imprison-‘ ment for life in the penitentiary. The father died in prison in 1896, and the son recently gave such a circum- stantial narrative of his part in the affair that the authorities were conâ€" vinced that he was not guilty. Bur- meister, knowing his father had a. black record and would certainly sufâ€" fer death, took the guilt upon him- self in order to save his father. Upon the basis of this statement Burmeister sought for a pardon. which was at first refused him, but he renewed his efforts with success. Burmeis'ter has now been liberated, and has joined his mother, who is 90 years of age. STRUCK WITH A HAMMER. Little S on of RICH STRIKE IN YUKON Will Have Formidable Fleet of Revenue Cutters. A despa'tch from Washington to the Chicago Record-Herald says: A formidable fleet of revenue cutters is to be maintained upon the great lakes. Not long ago the old Michiâ€" gan was the only Government vessel upon those waters. Now, however. the United States has the Tuscarora, the Merrill, and the Dallas upon the lakes, and to this fleet will soon be added the Mackinaw, The Tuscarâ€" ora is to be assigned to Lakes Su- perior and Michigan the Morrill to l-Euron and Eric, the Dallas to On~ tario, and the Mackinaw to St‘ Mary's anchorage as station ship. The fleet will be augmented as fast as available appropriations will per- mit, it being the purpose of the Government to have American interâ€" ests upon the great lakes thoroughly protected. especially in View of re~ cent developments, which indicate that the Canadians will attempt a stricter enforcement of their laws. As the question 0! boundary is in~ volved in most of the cases, and as the Canadians are quick 'to fire upon American vessels, it is deemed im~ perative that our force of revenue cutters should be augmented until it is adequate to grant prompt protec~ tion to all American ships upon the great lakes.

The trade 1, in butter for the Orient is for the '0 European residents there and not for the natives, and Mr. J. A. Rud- dickl chief of the Dairy Division hopes also to develop an extensive L. trade with the warships touching at Nagasaki for coal. It is a good 1. thing that this trade with the Orient has been worked up by the government creameries, as it requires some financing and could scarcely be i' handled so well by private enter- prise; as it is necessary to have every facility for studying the mar-i ket and also to be in a position to ship at once on receipt of cahlegram. In the case of the trade with the warships for instance; they some- times stay several weeks at this coal- ing station and in that time it would be possible to get a supply - of iresh butter to them from Canada. V Part of the butter shipped this , season, especially in the summer months, Went lorWard in tinsl but a considerable quantity has also been sent in boxes of assorted sizes. It stands the journey very “ell in the latter, and has been reported in very good condition on arrival. "She l Yukon trade is increasing, and ship- I ments have been made to that dis. : trict in boxes also. ' COLLECTING EGGS. In connection with the system of creamerics, the Department has ' adopted the plan of collecting eggs from the larmers of the Territories and holding them in storage. It worked well the first season and has improved ever since, but greater improvement is noticeable, in the eggs this year than ever before. The plan adopted is as follows zâ€"Each creamery patron has a number and he is required to mark this number in pencil on all the eggs he sup- plies. No driver will accept the eggs without the number being on. These eggs are held at the Creamery for a short time and then sent in re- frigeratorcars with the butter to the storage at Calgary. There all the eggs are examined and classified by an expert who has the egg lists in front of him, and every farmer is credited with the exact number of each class of eggs he has Sent. The Department advances fifteen cents per dozen on the eggs at the time they are received and later the farm- or gets the balance according to the classification. This year the average price to the farmer will be just about '1 twenty cents per dozen for the seas- on, or fully double what could have been obtained locally. About 30,â€" N 000 dozen will be handled. Last year 21,000 dozen were handled and M the town of Calgary consumed them k all. Shipping first class eggs great- ly increases consumption, and it will I be some time before this trade can 9‘ possibly be crowded, because there is m a. market in the Kootenay and an ‘4 ever growing market in the North- CE west Territories. ti wac-r‘lfi'amb .nl ofimogmfilhâ€"‘Hf’HNHAi-s The increase has been mainly in Alberta, This year all the butter has been taken by the markets of Western Canada or has been exportâ€" ed to the Orient, none having been shipped 'to Great Britain. The ex- hibit of Canadian dairy products at the great Japanese Exposition at Osaka. was an excellent advertise- situated at Calgary, Innisfail, Ed~ monton! 'l‘indnstoll, Wetuskiwin, Red Deer, Blackfalds and Lacombe in the ’l'errirory of Alberta, at ('hurchâ€" bridge, Moose Jaw, Whitewood, Ite- gina. Moosomin, Saltcoats, South Qu’Appelle and Grenfcll in tho Ter- ritory of Assiniboia, and at Prince Albert in the Territory of Saskatchâ€" ewan. Three creameries of the creameries formerly managed were closed by the Department in 1902, owing to the lack of sufficient patâ€" ronage. The failure of the farmers in these districts to support the creameries does not appear to arise from any lack of confidence in the dairy business, but simply because they are in a position to go into stock raising and grain growing,_ and because they prefer the latter means of livelihood. The changes of the past few years have altered the asâ€" pect of farming operations In many parts of the Northwest. Last year five carloads of butter from the gov- ernment creamerios were exported to Great Britainl one carload was sold for export to Queensland, Australia, and shipments were also made to China, Japan and the Yukon. The remainder was disposed of in local and British Columbia, markets.
