Saskatchewan Express Wrecked Near Regina. Al despatch from Regina 3 ays: The engine and tender of the Sas- katchewan Express on the Canadian Nmthern Railway, which left Rc~ ginu. at 8 o’clock on Saturday evâ€" ening, were derailed at a point about 22 miles east of the city. The conductor immediately secured means of coming to Regina for anâ€" other engine, as there is no teleâ€" graph office at Jamieson. While the conductor was en route to Re- gina, however, an explosion took place in the baggage car, as .1 re- sult of which the ears caught fire. The fire spread with such rapidity that it was not under control until five coaches had been destroyed”. Wet blankets were hung between the cars in an effort to confine the fire, but these were of no avail. Steadin the flames gained on tose who fought them and it was not un- til early Sunday morning that it was extinguished. All the passenâ€" gers on the train were more or less seriously shaken up, and the whole train was delayed at Jamieson for some twelve hours. On Sunday morning the injured men were brought to the Grey Nuns" Hobpi~ tal, Regina, where they are being treated. The injured are: Garfield McKay, baggageman, of Winnipeg; Antoine Moskow, sectionnmn, of Jamieson; Aylmer Travis, passen- ger, it farmer from Sintalute; Grant Holt, an American passen- ger from Chicago; J. 0. Olson, an American passenger from Zealanâ€" «die. formerly of Petoskey, Michiâ€" gan, also F. J. Hutchinson, brakeâ€" man, Winnipeg. United States Railroads Increase the Wages of Their Employees. 'A despatch from Indianapolis.

The miners, zm-mbers of the United Mine Workers of America, declar- ed the walk-out was not a strike. brt merely a. suspension of work pending an arrangement between themselves and the operators for a wage scale for another year, the old scale having expired with the month of March. The men demand an increase of pay in some instances of five cents a. ton, and in other instances more, and certain changes in working con- ditions.

From The American Lumberman, March ‘20, 1909, the greatest lumber trade journal in the \Vorld: “It is probably true that land can be dmmted to no other use that will be so profitable as the growing cl eucalyptus, if the climate and land are both suitable. Under proper conditions a eucalyptus plantation should begin to pay after five or six years, and within ten or twelve years should be yielding enormous net profits, exceeding anything that can be secured from a. citrus crop, and horticultural crop, or even truck gardening. The probabili- ties thus expressed seem like a. dream, so tremendous are the fig-- ures of yield and almost certain profits.’ _ Extracts from Circular 116‘ enâ€" titled, “The Warning Hardwood Supply,” issued by the Forest Ser- vice U.
