Blackfoétjgggns to Have First Bible in Their Language Since the war all the special ma- chinery in the munitions plants has been sold to private purchasers. Now the townships themselves are about on go under the hammer. The townships of Gretna and East Rigg, in Scotland, which were estab- lhhed during the war for mass pro- duction of cordite. are the bargains oneer for sale. The entire property Includes some 3,000 acres of land and more than 100 miles of railway. At the time or the armistice 30,000 1\eo~ pie were at. work in Gretna, and the government undertook to provide them with all the amenities of life. Does anybody want to purchase a. city?

TWO Towns in Scotland to be Sold by Auction REVOLT IN BRAZIL MAKES HEADWAY Naval patrols, formed of sloops be- longing to the British, French and Italian navies, are maintaining an active supervision of these waters with .a view a the suppression of the slave traffic tom the African to the‘Arab- ian coast. Their works consists in stop- ing and searching the native dhows which they meet in the course of their patrols in order to ascertain that there are no slaves being transported on board them. It is, however, becoming apparent that the vessels which have been op- erating in the Red Sea are not suffi- cient completely to suppress the traf- fic in slaves. There are numerous is- lands with rocky creeks into which the dhows, sailing by night, can retire during the daytime and hide, and, with a fresh breeze, it is not always possible for the warships hitherto available to overtake them. The government hopes, with the re- inforcements of fast ships now being sent, to put an end to the slave trade in the Red Sea. From time to time, slaves are dis- covered, the dhow arrested and the slaves liberated and sent home. Government Troops Fighting Rearguard Action â€"â€"- Re- serves Called Out. It was announced at the Foreign Office that the government had decid- ed to reinforce the British naval force in the Red Sea by the dispatch of a division ‘of fast destroyers, says a London despatch. Fighting ls declared to be going on sixty kilometres from 'Santos, where the battleship Minas Geraes and six torpedo-boat destroyers are anchored. The inhabitants of Santos are report- ed to be greatly alarmed. It is stated that the first line reserves are to be called to the colors and that rein- forcements for the Government troops are awaited in Santos, to which point they are proceeding from many parts of Brazil. British Navy to Check Red Sea Slave Traffic Montevideo, Uruguay, July 13.â€"â€" Authoritative advices received here say that the Brazilian revolntionists in Sao Paulo have won fresh vic- tories over the Government troops. According to these advices the Gov- ernment forces have been badly de~ feabed. “Federal troops are continually arâ€" riving to serve as reinforcements in an encircling plan in an endeavor to force the rebels to surrender without the necessity of causing serious damâ€" age to the City of Sao Paulo.” Reports which have passed the cen- sor assert that the situation in Sao Paulo is momentarily growing worse; that the rebels, after getting the up- per hand of the Government,'estab- lished a. pro‘visionnl Government in Sao Paulo City and now are advanc- ing upon Santos, which port is the supply base of the Government troops, which are declared to be fighting a rearguard action and endeavnring, though unsuccessfully, to hold back the advance of the rebels.

Vancouver, B.C., July 13.â€"~More than 6,000,000 feet of the finest fallen Douglas fir timber has been totally destroyed, besides considerable log- ging equipment, in the devastating forest fire which is still raging over Redonda Island, according to advices received last night by R. V. Stuart, Chief Forest Ranger, at Vancouver. The fire on the large island is stated to be completely out of control, and, fanned by strong winds, is sweeping the vast timber reserves from end to end. All efforts to check the blaze have been rendered futile by the in- tense heat of the'fiames and the depse clouds of smoke. After fighting for the last two days 200 men. under the supervision of Dominion Forest officials, have got the fire in the Cowichan area under control. New York’s example in providing one-way traffic streets will be followed as a tryout for relieving traffic con‘ gestion here, says a London despatch. The experiment will be limited at pre- sent to the main streets in the theau/e area, and to the hour from 10.30 to 11.30, when the theatres are emptying. FINEST B.C.

One slde of the one-way thorough- fares will be used for-ordinary traffic and the other side will be reserved to theatre tramc. Each theatre will have its private parking space. in which police will guard the cars. More Than 6,000,000 Feet of Douglas Fir Destroyed on Redonda Island.

At Kamloops there is one fire, and the hazard conditions are fair. At Sicamous 1.950 acres have been burn- ed ovet since the big electrical storm that started so many fires on July 2.
