Algome Company Has Ordered $500,000 Worth of Machinery in Pittsburg. AN IMMENSE STEEL PLANT A despatch from Pittsburg, Penn., sgys: Another move toward centr- ing the iron and steel industry of the United States on the borders of the Great Lakes was made on Thursday, when a contract was closed by the Algonia. Steel Com- pany for $500,000 worth of heavy steel machinery to be delivered at Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, as quick as possible. It is the intention of the Philadelphians and the London- ers- baek of this plant to have two immense steel mills in Canada. turning out bars and other steel products -by Nov. 1 next. The na-« tum of the machinery ordered shows that the mills to be erected will be rivals worthy of even the biggest and best Pittsburg mills. The mills wdl be by far the larg- est in Canada. 1116 [1011] mat( Two Men Badly Buran at. London -â€"$575 in Bills Destroyed. A despatch from London, Ont, says: As the result of the explo- sion nf a coal oil stove at Dorches- fer. on Saturday night. the res1- dence of Mrs. Wm. Banks was burned to the ground, and two man, John Banks and Stephen Budden, received painful burns from burn- ing timbers falling on them. Mrs. Banks had the sum of $575 in bills in the house, the money being in a, bureau drawer. and this, with all the contents, was lost. A despatch from London says: The Ladies’ Aid Soci Askin Street Methodist- Chur of the largest in the city, lr clured war on big hats. at recent meeting unanimously a resolution to the quarterly asking that they issue a to the ladies to remove the \' structing creations. The ladi After His; years' study those con‘ cerned in this project at the head of the Great Lakes nave decided that it would be cheaper tn carry the coal to the iron ore than hring th‘ ores to the email, as has been the custom for years. It is the in- tention to go after the Canadian trade and the trade of the North- west States, a specialty being made of the steel entering into the making of farming machinery. Announcement of placing this order caused seine interest in Pitts- burg because Pittsburg steel barons have looked on tuis north- west territory as their own, even Harry McEwan and Albert Milburn Drowned in Hamilton Bay. A despatch from Hamilton says: A double drowning accident ocâ€" curred in Hamilton Bay, near the Beach, on Saturday afternoon, in which Harry Mchwan, 476 York .str-eet, and Albert Milburn, 142 Main street west, lost their lives through falling out of a. gasoline launch. How the accident happen- cd is a matter 01 conjecture, as David McEwan, who was with them, neither saw nor knew of it until he looked back and saw the head of one man rise above the surface the last time. It is thought, however, that the two who were drowned were pumping water out of the stern of the boat, and in leaning too far over the gunwale, lost their balance. The survivor was steering the boat in the bow, and heard no outcry, but. states that as the en- gine was between them and him, its noise would have shut out the sound of their voices if they dial cry out when they fell over the side.

BRITAIN’S NAVAL STANNANN A despatch from London says: In the House of Commons on Wed- nesday night the Premier definitely laid down the View of the British Government in regard to the ques- tion as to whether the United States should be considered in deâ€" termining the British two-power naval standard. Mr. Asquith said a great deal of nonsense had been talked about the two-power stand- ard. It was nothing more than a purely empirican generalization. He agreed that the range of Britâ€" ish vision should not be limited to Europe,’ but, on the other hand, when considering the combined effective strength of any other two powers in the world for aggressive purposes one must have regard to geographical position. In dealing with a remote power whose naval base was six, eight or ten thousand miles away, with no convenient coaling station, it was elementary common sense not to treat that power as of the same effective value as a power with a naval base a hundred miles or so 1‘0 75%c; No. 4, 74c.

Therefore the United States could not be regarded as one of the two powers which would have to be taken into account. And, al- though second among the naval powers of the world, she could not be treated the same for aggressive purposes as France, Germany 0: Austria. Mr. Arthur Lee objected, saying he would deal with the probability of any war with the United States merely as an academic proposition. “It is really impossible,” he de- clared, “to exclude the United States on the score of geographi- cal remoteness when she had just sent a, fleet of sixteen firstâ€"class battleships, maintained as a fight- ing entity throughout, for a voyâ€" age of 40,000 miles, in the course of which that fleet circumnavigated the globe and visited many parts of the British Empire.” Mr. Balfour, without mentioning the United States, argued that Mr. Asquith had abandoned the tradiâ€" tional British view of a two-power standard, but the House rejected his motion by a majority of 114. ?hea.d of two years ago, but a little later generally than in 1908. At some points the wheat is three inches high. The only minor key sounded in the optimistic report is from the country around Bowden and Penhold, on the Edmonton'lina, where the work is backward, but his_eyes, condemned his former Parliamentary colleague, _Hon. P». H. Roy, to five years’ imprisonment in St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary. This sentence followed a. lengthy argument of the opposing counsel and a half-hour address of the prisoner, who gave reasons Why he should be condemned. Twenty-Six Hundred New Settlers for the Dominion. A dcspatch from Quebec says: The Allan steamer Corsican and C. P. R. steamer Empress of he- land arrived at Quebec on Friday, with 2,600 new settlers for Canada. The Corsican was the first to ar- rive, with one thousand steerage and over 300 second class. The former included 450 children, and were landed at Quebec for Govern- ment inspection, and in the evenâ€" ing were forwarded to their destin- ation on two 0. P. R. and one G. T. R. special trains. The Empress of Ireland brought 900 steerage and 400 second-cabin passengers, young, healthy and intelligent, who complied with all the Canadian imi- gration conditions. These passen- gers were forwarded after the first and second-class specials, and took two additional trains. Crockery Warehouse Was Badly Damaged.
