ENBON BEbECKED WITH mas F03 WEDDING 0F PRINCE AND COMMQNE day thirty years ago, when King George V., as the Duke of York, led his Royal bride to the altar, has Great Britain prepared herself for such a gala wedding fete as will be celebrated on Thursday next, when Prince Al- bert, Duke of York, weds Lady Eliza- beth Bowes-Lyon in Westminster Abbey. All plans for the great occasion are completed and it only remains to put the finishing touches to the scenery for staging this Royal pageant, for which the world, thrilled by the roâ€" mance of the young prince’s wooing of a subject of his own land, has been eagerly waiting. London herself will be decked like} a. bride in all the finery of her silken‘ flags and banners, and everybody in‘ the United Kingdomâ€"â€"well, almost everybody, it seemsâ€"will be here to catch a glimpse of the Winsome bride and gallent lover and lend a hand in the festivities which will be held everywhere Thursday night. Those unfortunate enough not to be able to come to London will be regaled with the wedding story told by wireless broadcasting. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to line the route of the wedding procession to and from the Abbey, and, in addition to the stands erected near Westminster for specta- tors, every building past which the Duke and his bride will drive will be FLOOD SITUATION SHOWS IMPROVEMENT Waters Abate at Portage la Prairie But Continue to Rise at Brandon. Winnipeg, April 22.â€"â€"A1though the reports from Brandon did not sustain the hope that the flood there had reached its peak, improvement was re- ported from Portage la Prairie, half- way between Winnipeg and Brandon. Taken generally, the indications to- night are that there will be a gradual recession of the Assiniboine River and its tributaries, which for days have inundated the lowâ€"lying land of Cenâ€" tral Manitoba, driving several hun- dred people from their homes, and causing extensive property damage. A despatch from Kingsville, Ont, sayszâ€"Ten million eggs of Whitefish and herring, the largest hatch ever made here, will be carried out by the government tugs two miles into Lake Erie and turned loose. The moving out of the ice recently decided the hatch- ery officials’to make the “dump” With- out further loss of time. ' The river is still running high at Portage La Prairie, where residents were compelled to leave their homes on Saturday morning, when the banks of the Assiniboine gave way west of the city, and flooded the west end'of the city and railway yards. The water has receded fourteen inches, and the blasting of an ice jam east of the city, it is believed, will afford great relief and completely save the situation. The water at Brandon receded 12 inches, but now show an inclination? to “come back'.’ and eclipse former records. They rose in the early hours of the day about nine inches, and afterwards remained more or less sta- tionary. y London, April 22 10,000,000 Fish Eggs Ready at Government Plant Competition of Baby Air- planes to be Held in England ‘ A despatch from London says:â€" The Daily Mail offers a prize 6f £1,000 for the longest flightâ€"not less than fifty milesâ€"of an airplane with an engine of 7’79. horsepower and one gal- lon of fuel. The competition is open to the world, and will take place in England next September. CANADIAN CGNSUMER PAYS EHGH PRlCE FQR UNITED SYA'E'ES 60903 A despatch from Ottawa says:â€" How $100 worth of goods imported from the United States by a Canadian wholesaler, under a duty of 35 per cent, because of pyramiding of profits on the cost of the goods, on profits and on sales taxes paid, cost the consumer in Canada $247.20 by the time the goods had passed through various hands was shown to the special Agri- cultural Committee of the House on Thursday by Isaac E.

The [windows of offices, shops and even Eprivate houses, have ,already been rented to persons who have come from 811 parts of Great Britain and from beyond the seas. Already some places of vantage are bringing big prices. One South Amâ€" erican financier paid 100 guineas for two windows in Parliament Street. lBut, in all this rush for seats, these unfortunates who returned from the .Great War grievoust wounded have not been forgotten. A stand accomâ€" modating 800 of them has been con- 'structed on the line of the procession near the Horse Guards. To handle the enormous assemblage in the streets there will be on duty 7,500 foot police, 200 mounted men and 1,000 specials. Traffic along the route ; of the Royal procession will be sus- ' pended for some time before the car- ’{ riages appear. The ceremony in the Abbey will last three-quarters of an hour. In the nave of the Abbey 600 privileged I guestsrwill see the ceremony of a life- time from tiers of seats‘ specially built, and 2,000 other seats will be placed in fhe nave and transcepts. The wedding will furnish a great occasion for the famous Abbey bell- ringers, who will play a peal of Sted- man’s Triples, consisting of some five thousand changes, which was first taught to their predecessors about the yeai‘ 1668 ,Now I Nearlyfiiohe Hundred Years Old and in Prison for 23 Years. ‘ A despatch from London says:â€" after twentyâ€"three years in prison, Osman Digna, the Dervish chief, who for sixteen years defied British tr00ps, may be pardoned and returned to his tribe. He is nearly 100 years old, and the Foreign Office will be asked in the House of Commons Monday to free‘ ‘ him. In the Sudan in 1884 at the head of 10,000 Dervishes he broke a British square by a wild charge and temporâ€" arily captured British guns. Finally Kitchener, .then a colonel, captured his camp, but Osman later won it back. Kitchener was wounded in a fight with Osman’s Dervishes in 1892. $ Manitoba wheatâ€"No. 1‘Northern, 1.32.

BRITAIN TO PARDON OLD DERVISH CHIEF A Canadian Explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who is now visiting Toronto, says that Canada has an area twice as large as the United States to be developed in the north; and recalls the time when Europeans believed the world uninhabitable north of the Alps. A despatch from London says:â€" after twentyâ€"three years in prison, Osman Digna, the Dervish chief, who for sixteen years defied British tr00ps, may be pardoned and returned to his tribe.

Lobking to Canada for Big Copper Supply A despatch from London says:â€" Lecturing before the Society of Arts relative to the importance of base metals to the nations as instanced during the Great War, Sir Richard Redmayne, ex-president of the Insti- tute of Mining and Metallurgy, said Canada, particularly British Colum- bia, presented the likeliest source of an increased supply of copper. A romantic figure pazses from Cana- dian life in the person or “Klondyke” Boyle, who numbered among his ad- ventures the making of peace term between Russia and Roumauia. He was greatly loved by the Royal family of Roumanla for his services to them and was nursed by the Queen herself after suffering a stroke, which follow- ed a strenuous trip through the war zones from Russia.
