A despatch from Regina, Sask., says: The crop report of the Sasâ€" katchewan Department of Agricul~ ture, based on replies received by telegranh to inquiries as to the conditions on July 11, states that conditions at the moment justify the statement that seldom has the crop within one Province shown such excellence on the one hand and such poor conditions on the other. Fortunately the area of the crop in which conditions are excel- lent greatly exceeds that in which they are poor. The outlook at the moment is for seventy~five per cent. of an average crop. Conditions have been improved recently by a fairly general rain on July 11 and a considerable number of local showers. Seldom have the crops been called upon to withstand a. long period of intense and con- tinuous heat with few and local rains as have most of the crops in the western and central parts of the Province during the period from June 30 to July 14. Without the slightest doubt the summer fal- low that has ‘been early and deeply plowed and has also received suf- ficient subsequent cultivation, has justified itself once more, and will prove to be the sheet-anchor of those farmers in the drier districts that had prepared one. In many of the newer districts, of course, settlement is almost too new for this form of preparation to be as general as it must. become if agri- culture is to be succeszully and permanently practised in those dis- tricts.

She was still playing with them when her mother found her and took them away. The heads of some of the matches had annarently been bitten off. The child was seizâ€" ed with spells of vomiting so severe that the parents summoned Dr. Hepburn. The doctor had her tak- en to the hospital immediately, and for three hours, With the assist- ance of Dr. Rankin, he worked on‘ the child, but with no avail, and she died about three o’clock Friday afternoon. The victim of the matches is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. “Toad” Edmunds.

A despatch from Cochrane, Ontf, says: Between two and three hun- dred people were rendered home- less as the result of the destruction by fire of the little Town of Hearst, 134 miles West of here. They all tell stories of three days’ and nights’ fight with fire, nothing but a, bucket brigade being available. Several times they thought that the. fire had been conquered, but each time it sprang up again and a. weary fight was resumed. The wind almost blew a cyclone, and men who had been through the Porcupine fire be- gan to make for the railway tracks, fearing for their lives. Finally it got beyond all control, and every- one tOOk refuge on the Transconâ€" tinental Railway tracks. Mr. M. J O'Brien, of the firm of O’Brien, McDougall and O’Gorman, ,who have their construction headquarâ€" ters at Hearst, took all homeless people to his camps at Pit 7, where they were fed and the women and children housed. They passed the night and next day there until the relief train arrived in the midst of smoke and flame and torrid heat. Hearst is a town of between six and eight hundred inhabitants most- ly foreigners, Most of the dwellings were built of wood and a short time ago. There are also, however, the divisional offices of the Transcontin- ental Railway, :1- large cement round house. the offices of M‘. J. O’Brien, and Due on July principa O’Bri work‘ ed or the contractor for that section of the railroad, and a, large house occupied by a. brother of Mr. O’Brien, who was in charge of the. work. A short time ago a fire burn- ed one section of Hearst. A despatch from Ottawa, says: Collingwood Schreiber, chief co-n- sulting engineer of the Government returned from an inspection of the G. T. P. from Winnipeg to Prince Rupert, announces that all sections of the line are linked up, and will be ready to operate this Fall. As the Government- has completed the Eastern section this means that, the LADY HARDINGEL Vice-Reine of India, who died at 3: London nursing home after under- going an operation.
