A despatch from Montreal says: The Canadian Pacific Railway will spend $16,000,000 'on its eastern lines during ‘ the coming season. 'This expenditure, which is approv- ‘ed of by Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, President of the company, will not be wholly for new work, as at least ten millions of the amount is to complete work commenced last summer, including a portion of the new Lake Shore line, and the ex- tension from St. John’s to Farn- ham Junction, and the Forsythe street branch in Montreal. The majority of the new works will be double-tracking various parts of eastern lines, which will cost in the 1 vicinity of six million dollars. O9 to $10; No. a, 39 to $9.50.

Another important work to be commenced this year is the double- tmcking of a. small stretch of fifâ€" vteen- bathe between Agincourt and North Toronto. It is intended to eventually double-track Athe entire Toronto- Sudbury line, a total distance of 553 miles, in order to handle grain after the close of navigation on the lakes. Guelph Junction on the London subdivision will be double-tracked for a. distance of thirty miles, and it is expected the work will be fin- ished by November. It is proposed to double-track between Romford, which is the junction between the main line and the Torontoâ€"Sudbury branch, and Port Arthur, covering a distance of 135 miles. Flre Swept Through the Centre of Tokio. A despatch from Tokio says: Over 15,000 persons are homeless as a result of fire which swept through the centre of the Kanda district of the city on Wednesday. The fire started in the Salvation Army hall. A high wind fanned the flames, and they spread rapidly from street to street, destroying 8,300 buildings. The loss is estimated at several mil- lion yen. Among the buildings burned were several churches, in- cluding the Baptist Tabernacle, and a number of educational instiâ€" tutions, including the School of Foreign Languages. Troops were called out to assist the firemen, but they were almost helpless against the windâ€"driven flames.

Rich Diggiugs at Atlin, B. 0., 0m- ciully Reported. ‘ A despetch from Victoria, B. 0., says: Rich placer diggings in Swan, Silver and creeks flowing in- to Testin Lake at its south-eastern end are reported to have been re- cently discovered and proved. The reports come from official Govern- ment sources. On receipt of the news Hon. Dr. Young, Provincial Secretary and member for Atlin in the Legislature-h made arrange- ments to proceed to the field of the new find. At Atlin he will go over- land by dog team and sled to the lower end of Testin Lake. The dig- gings are reported to be from three to six feet deep, and the gold taken out is said to be coarse and to greatly resemblethe gold peculiar to the Atlin country. Stampedes from Atlin are now occurring, and it is reported that some four hun- dred claims have been taken up on Testin Creek. Difficulty , of finding Suitable Homestead Land. ' A despa’och from Ottawa. says: Homestead entries in western Canada for the last calendar year totalled 35,516, a,- decrease of. 3,344 as compared with 1911. The de- crease indicates the increasing diffi- culty of finding suitable homestead land in the Prairie Provinces still within reasonable distance of dis- tricts now served by the railways. The homestead entries last year were distributed by Provinces as follows zâ€"Manito‘be, 3,133 ; Saskat- chewan, 18,425; Alberta, 13,646; British Columbia, 312.

A despatch from North Bay says: A row in,the Italian colony on Wed- nesday night resulted in the fatal shootingof the five-year-old son of James Demarco, a, contractor. The shooting took place in the house of Liberto Conte, who had an alterca- tion with Antonio ’Deccio over money and took down his rifle as he says, to frighten Deccio off the premises. Several men present tried to take the weapon away from Comte and in the melee the trigger was pulled. The little boy was standing near and received the bul- let in'his breast, living only a few hours. Comte/and Deccio were both arrested and locked up pending an inquest.

Grain-Growers Buy British Colum- bia Timber Limits. A despatch from Winnipeg says: A transaction which promises farâ€" reaching effects was consummated & few days ago, whereby the Grain Growers’ Grain Company purchasâ€" ed timber limits near Fort George, B.C., comprising about 300,000,000 feet of lumber at a price of about $1.50 per 1,000 feet. It is said to be the intention of the grain-grow- ers to hold this as a reserve supply, with the idea. of establishing lum- ber-yards at different points in the Province for the purpose of supply- ing farmers and settlers-with lum- ber at reasonable prices. Dent-Governor of Indiana Told Chaplain to Stop. A despatoh from Indianapolis, Ind., says: Lieutenantâ€"Governor O’Neill caused a sensation in the Senate on Thursday when he stop- ped the Rev. E. R. Henry of the Emmanuel Baptist Church of this city, who was making the opening prayer, and said :â€"“Stop making a. political speech.” The minister had prayed for the separation of the rum tr‘aflic from the State and for the day when Indiana, would re- fuse to sell to men the right to make other men drunkerdls, murâ€" derers, filling prisons and benevo- lent institutions. The Lieutenant- Governor, who had been showing signs of impatience, vigorous-1y banged the marble eleb with his gavel and commended the minister to stop. He ordered the journal to be read, and Rev. Mr. Henry im- mediately left the chamber. RESERVE SUPPLY OF LUMBER President Poincare of France Ad- vocates Increase in the Army. A despatch from Paris says: Raymond Poincare, the new Presi- dent of the French Republic, in his first message, read to the two Houses of Parliament on Thursday, made some pointed references to the necessity of increasing France’s military forces. He referred to the responsibilities of the present time, and quoted the adage that “Peace is~not decreed by the will of one power.” He said it was impossible for any nation to be effectively pacific unless irt was always ready for war. A France with diminished pow-er and exposed by her own fault to defiance/s or humiliations would, he said, be France no more. It would. ‘he continued, be a crime against civilization to allow the na- tion to decrease its forces while other nations developed theirs without cessation. A despetoh from Mexico, City sayusr: Francisco I. Maidvero, former President of Mexico, and Jose Pino Suarez, who served as Vice-Presi- dent until the overthrow of the Madero regime, were shot and killed while being taken from the National Palace to the penitentiary early Sunday morning. Groups of friends of the deposed President are said to have gathered along the route followed by the guards, mak- ing demon-straatlonls of sympathy, and at times threatening to free the prisoners by force. During a per- iod of excitement the oflieers in command of the party gave an or- der to fire, and the bodies of the men who were but lately in author- ity over those who in this may wreaked vengeance on their former Executive, were filled with bullets. Two of the attacking mob were killed. ' Madeer and Suarez sank limply and died almost without a. murmur.

A Melbourne despatch to the London Standard states that Pre- mier Fisher, in conjunction with others, has agreed to make an ade- quate contribution to the fund for those dependent on the South Polar disaster victims. The despatch says that since the Canadian Parliament proposes to make a. grant the whole overseas dominions, which are par- ticularly indebted - to the courage and heroism of the explorers, should co-operate in making a. substantial gift.
