Roads Blocked by Heavy Snow in Saskatchewan. A despatch from Moose Jaw, Sask., says: The first teams since Christmas to reach the city from Leeville and Dewdrop, 65 miles southwest, arrived on Friday even- ing. The six members of the party told a. story of much hardship and suffering. They had made the journey in three days, which, con- sidering the fact that they had to break through bad drifts in the hills, was fairly good time. They brought in two men who are badly frozen, one so badly that it is thought his feet may have to be am- Elaborate Tentative Arrangements Have Been Completed. A despatch from Winnipeg says: Winnipeg has had another midnight midwinter fire which will cost the insurance companies about $400,- 000, the building destroyed being the Kelly block on Bannantyne avenue east, in the very heart of the wholesale district. The firms suffering are: The Winnipeg Fur Company, $200,000, insured for $180,000; John Einnger, tobacco- nist, $80,000, insured to 90 per cent.; Kilgour Bros., paper deal- ers, $25,000, insured to the full; the Wingold Stove Company, $25,- 000, insured to $10,000. The origin of the fire is still unsolved, but it is supposed to have started from an electric light in the fur company oflices. It started about 11.30 on Saturday night, and the firemen were not through till 7 Sunday morning, with the mercury 30 beâ€" low zero. There were many cases of frost bites, 'some of the firemen having to retire for treatment. The high-pressure service was in good working order, but the depth of the buildingâ€"â€"100 - feetâ€"rendered the streams ineffectual, whether from front or rear, on the fire in the centre of the building. UBBUNATION PROGRAMME A despatch from Stratford says: Some very encouraging facts were laid before the Western Dairy- men’s Convention, held here last week, by Mr. J. C. Ruddick, Dairy Commissioner, in regard to the out‘iook for the industry. Forthe fiscal year ending with March next our dairy exports are estimated at only $25,250,000, as compared with $31,667,561 in 1903. Meantime, however, the home consumption is believed to have increased by $25,- 000,000, so that the production for the year about ending will really be $8,582,439 greater than in 1903. For the year ending with March next the production seems to have increased more rapidly than in the year immediately preceding, be- cause, while the home consumption is still growing, our exports of dairy products for the current fiscal year will be $2,000,000 ahead of these of 1910. For the expansion that has taken place in the year near closing the partial opening of the American market to our dairy products is largely responsible. In the month of August, 1909, as a result of the reduction of the United States duty on cream from five cents per pound to five cents per gallon, we exported 1,650 gallons of cream to the American market. In November of the same year this increased to 70,000 gallons. For October last the amount was 327,- Firemen Worked All Night With Thermometer at 30 Below Zero. DAIRY INDUSTRY OUTLOOK Mr. J. C. Ruddick Says the Home Con- sumption Is Steadin Increasing. $400,000 FIRE AT WINNIPEG. SETTLTRS’ HARD SHIPS. The coronation festivities will ex- tend from June 19 to June 30, and will include a naval review at Spithead, at which the King will be present, probably a military review and a royal recéption in honor of the colonial and foreign envoys. mony, which was postponed in Ed» ward’s time, owing to the King’s delicate health, will occur on June 23. Still another royal procession to the guild hall for the coronation entertainment has been arranged for a, subsequent day. The prediction was made that much more than this will be done; that in a. few years a larger pro- portion of the two million odd cows in the Dominion will be made to increase their milk flow by fifty |per cent. Even with this increase, Mr. Ruddick contended, there need be no fear of over-production. If the production remains stationary, the home market, if the expansion continues at the present rate, will absorb the entire output of the dairy industry ten years hence. In addition to this, there is the Am- erican market. Although the United States is the largest pro- ducer in dairy lines in the world, that country imported nearly $7,- 000,000 worth of butter and cheese in the calendar year of 1909, and will import larger quantities in fu- ture. The transfer of the Ontario Steel plant at Welland to the Montreal Car & Fouhdry Company has been completed. Sii' Wilfrid Laurier has given noâ€" tice of a. resolution for the renew- al ofi the Pacific s’qeamship subsidies of £25,000 annually. Detective Sayers Fatally Wounded in British Columbia. A despatch from Victoria, B. C., says: G. O. Sayers, said to be a detective. was brought here on Wednesday in a dying condition from Alberni, where he on Tuesday night had a desperate fight with two men wanted in Saskatchewan for highway robbery there and for breaking open box-cars on the Grand Trunk at Yorkton, Sask. The story is that he trail-ed the two men from the latter place and caught up with them in a camp near Alberni. He posted one of his men outside, while he himself entered the camp to make the ar- rest. A desperate fight ensued, in which Sayers was shot in three places, but with what strength he had left he backed up against a wall and there fought till he fell from loss of blood. The comrades he had posted outside, however, succeeded in arresting the men, who are held at Alberni. Sayers re- cently made several arrests single- handed in Edson. putated, and the dead body of a, woman, who died southwest of Lake Johnston and was being brought to the city by her husband. He had made but slow progress on his mel- ancholy trip, it having taken him five days to travel thirty-two miles, when he was picked up by the party. The men report much hardship among the settlers owing to the ter- rible cold and storms. One man is said to have carried a sack of flour six miles because he could not get a. horse through. The party will take back with them four team loads of supplies. 064 gallons. It is believed that the value of our exports of dairy pro- ducts to the United States for the year ending March next will be $3,000,000 as against less than a quarter of a million the year be- fore, and practically nothing prior to the change in the American duty. The total value of the milk produc- tion of Canada was placed at $100,- 000,000, and it was said that an ad- dition of 500 lbs. of milk per cow to the average production, some- thing easily possible, would add $10,000,000 to this.

In speak- ing of the buildilg of the new line: he said: “During the eunilner there have been constructed 609 miles. nf railway, including 56 miles of dou- ble track. We are now engaged on the programme for this year. and it is probable but as much construction work Will be done in 1911 as was done in 1910. Labor for railway building was never so scarce as in 1910, 3211 wages were never so high. “During fhe ynar a defermined effort was continued to turn back There are some sixty pulp mills in the Dominion, and of these re- ports were received from fifty. Half of these mills are in Quebec, one- fifth in Ontario, and the rest are located in New Brunswick, Nova. Scotia and British Columbia. The Province of Quebec furnished over half the pulpwood, Ontario gave one-third, while the rest was ob- tained from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and British Columbia. A despatch from Ottawa says: According to statistics collected by the Forestry Branch of the Depart- ment of the Interior, there were 622,129 cords of pulpwood used in Canada during the year 1909. Of this the total value at the mill was $3,464,080. In spite of a decline in the price of pulpwood the value of the wood consumed increased more than $550,000 over that used in 1908, the quantity used being more than thirty per cent. in advance of that used in the previous years. Mr. White, Vice-President of C. P. R., Speaks ' of the Prosperity of the West. CAPITAL AND IMMIGRATION Quebec Province Leads All the Dominion in Production. PULP INDUSTRY OF CANADA Two species of timber, namely, LIVE STOCK MARKETS. showed that during last year 17, 000,000 dozen of eggs in Canada were rendered unfit for consump- tion by late marketing. The loss by this was estimated at $3,400,<, 000. Out of a total production of120,000,000 dozes of eggs a year in’ Canada, it was estimated that fully seventeen per cent. was spoilt by delay in marketing. President" Gunn announced that efforts were: being made to secure a system of standardizing eggs and also to have it made a criminal offence to sell bad eggs lTerrible Crime Committed Near l Wellesley Village. A despatch from Berlin, Ont., says: A terrible murder was reveal- ed on Friday morning by the find‘ ing of the blood-covered body, fro‘ zen stiff, of an aged Pole named Franz Tobinski, tied to a. post a few feet from the kitchen door 01 his house, two miles west of Wel- lesley village, near Berlin:a Bob- bery was the motive of the crime, and it is known that the murderers got away with $130 in gold, which Tobinski had kept in a little tin box. This box was found lying out- side in the snow. Fifty yards away frOm where the body lay was found a bloodâ€"stained hammer of medium size of a kind used by blacksmiths. There were tracks of two men in the snow and also of a team oi horses, but the police have no elew as to the identity of the murderers. It is estimated that 300,000 immi- grants arrived in Canada last year. sold in the neighborhood of $5.80 to $5.90. Lambs were considerab- ly higher. Sheep were steady to firm. One dealer paid as high as $5.85 per cwt. Hogs show indi- cations of easing off. to various parts of the United States the American farmers who were removing to Canada. In spire of this campaign by interested peo ple in the United States the move- ment of farmers from that country into Canada in 1910 was larger than ever. The increase in immi- gration from Europe has also been considerable, and there has been a steady increase in the amount 0! land under cultivation. Capital has com-e into the west in large vol- ume. There never was a year when there were so many Englishmen in the country seeking renumerative investment for their capital, and there never was a year when there was so much money actually invest- ed.” 'spruce and balsam, furnished nineoj ty-nine per cent. of the wood usedl in the making of pulp. PoplarH hemlock and jack pine were also‘ used. Three-fifths of the pulpwood‘ cut in Canada during 1909 was exâ€" ported to the United States for manufacture. Nearly all this wood went from Quebec. The average price received for it was only forty- five cents more than was paid at the Quebec mills. The pulpwood shipped from Canada. in 1909 fur~ nished 46 4-10 per cent. of the raw material used by the ninety pulp mills of the State of New York, and an appreciable portion of that used by the mills of New England and Pennsylvania. The manufac- ture of the pulpwood exported in 1909 kept 69 of the 251 pulp mills of the United States running at full capacity for the year., Had it been manufactured in Quebec it would have kept running 71 mills of the same size as those running in Quebec.
