Fort William, Ont, Jan. 9.â€"A very large proportion of wheat from Wes- tern Canada, particularly Alberta, is now being diverted at Saskatoon, Moose Jaw and Winnipeg ,and is ‘be- ing snapped up by United States buy- ers for mills at Chicago and Minnea- polis where the demand is so strong that they are paying a premium of ten cents a bushel for Canadian wheat to mix with inferior grain of the United States. Forty per cent. of the wheat grown on the southern side of the line last year is grading No. 4 and lower, so that there is an absolute necessity for the American mills to secure our No. 1 Northern, and the Western Can- adian crop of 1920 grades about 87 per cent.

A despatch from Cochrane says:â€" The concerted efforts to locate Kloor, Hinton and Farrell, navy balhonists, whidh began on Thursday night last by the Canadian Government, fur- trading‘ companies and pres-s corres- pondents, .were mystified as to the probable point of egress for the men who were mushing from Moose Factory.

These Indians stated that a fellow- trapper farther down the river had learned from Moose Factory Indians that the officers comprising the crew of the A5598 had remained to salvage what they could of the balloon, and had not left the post for the railway on as early a date as expeicted. They also stated that the officers were travelling with attention direct- ed more to enjoying a moderate degree of comfort rather than taking a chance on tiring or exhausting themselves in an effort to establish a speed record.

Walter Hinton, one of the three United States naval balloonists, was writing a book when George Macâ€" l-eod, the Indian runner who brought the news of the officers’ safety, left Moose'Factory December 23.

Among the most interesting of their activities are broom-making and chair- caning by blind men from the lndustral Home, reading of Braille, type- writng from the dictaphone, knitting socks and stockings by machine by the pupils of the school.

The remoteness of the snowâ€"beleaguered. spot is shown by the fact that it took the Indian mnner, who brought the first tidings, two weeks to make his way to the railway line. The three: fliers had food for only three daysl The balloon could do nothing to con- trol its own course, except that the use ofrballast to change the level might enable it to find currents blow- ing in the desired direction. The bal- loonists were at the mercy of a storm that swept them into the inhospitable hinterland of the Adirondacks, and the rumors that came from various quar- ters as to the fate of the brave men caused them to be given up for lost in many quarters. But their colleagues in the U. S. navy continued to hold out hope, based on the experience and character of Lieut. Hinton and his col- leagues. The former was one of the pioneers of the transatlantic flight in the famous NC-4. It can never be said that a single measure was left untried to learn what became of the aeronauts after they disappeared so many days ago. Every possible agency of rescue, on both sides of the inter- national boundary, was pressed into service. ‘ Back From Death.
