Alderman J. A. McKinnon. chairman of the Labor day celebration committee, submitted the financial statement, which showed that the total amount collected from amelter ■ ■mi.loyft'K, other citizens and business men, totaled $2314. Expenditures on the celebration totaled $1635.40, leaving a cash bank balance of |B78.fiO. The itemized statement showed expenditures as follows: Sports, $619.10; refreshment*, $541.15; first aid, $59; music, $207.10; decorations, $65.95; Jointing, $63.30, and Incidentals, $79.80.

He warmly rommt tided all those who assisted financially and in personal service In making the celebration such a aplendid success. Of this sum,- $500 was apportioned for financing the May 24 celebration which for years haa been tha big day for all Trail youngsters. Seventy- five dollars was set aside to finance Trail school athletes taking part in Nelson intercity schools field and track meet. The remaining $100, an approximate figure since there may be one or two small bills yet unpaid, waa set aside to be used tn such a way as a Bpeclal committee shall decide. The committee appointed was Alderman J. A. McKinnon, chairman; C. J. Minton, secretary; Als»x Balfour, treasurer; H. Holden, representing the smelter employees' finance committee, and Walter Murray, repre- sfnting the downtown finance committee. Suflgeet Winter Sports To thiB committee were submitted several suggestions. One was that the $100 should be used to stimulate competition in outdoor winter sports among children, such as skating, speed races. Oeorge Murray, making this suggestion, stated the park board planned to have two outdoor ice rinks this winter if the weather man was kind. At first the award of $500 to the May 24 celebration was opposed as too high, When It was pointed out that the $200 so used this year was inadequate to financing the celebrn- tion on the scale of former years, with the rapidly growing Juvenile population, Mr. Holden, Mr. Dock- steader. Mr. Murdock and others spoke In favor of the appropriation, Alex Balfour reminded the fitthtriM that It was hoped to initiate a t angular Kootenay-Boundary schools field and track organization this week, and if possible, to hring the first meet lo Trail in conjunction with the May 24 celebration of 1927. Following the Trail Amateur Athletic ftaaoobtttoa annual meet here on Friday, a meeting of representatives of Nelson, Rossland, Grand Forks and other distant points would he held. One Big Meet The idea of Trail men was to have a big annual meet, swinging to successive points in the organization year by year, and eliminating a succession of small meets. If organization resulted and the first meet were brought to Trail May 24, part of the $500 would be devoted toward finnnr- InK it. Tlure were congratulations on nil sides for the success of the Labor day celebration under adverse conditions, for the unprecedented financial Bupnort given to it, and for the cooperation and work of all concerned in the under'aklng. Those attending the meeting were AMerman J. A. McKinnon, chairman; Alex Balfour, C. J. Minton, J. A. McKenzle. Oeorge Murray, F. S. Willis, Rev, N. I>. B. Larmonth, Alderman A. O.

J. Foggo, a Nelson acoutmaswi". told briefly of boy scout activities* In Nelson, outlined the Work of th* organization and described briefly how the movement endeavored to train the boy in the right path. "The problem of the boy confronts us at every,4urn of the roacW' asserted Mr. Foggo'. "We do not understand what a boy Is." The Boys' Coiilnt.llt-.imis The boy; he stated, was the possessor of a very level head, a big heart, Impossible tp drive, hard to lead, but fairly easily guided. -He possessed unbounded loyalty to those he loved, and had a fiendish faculty for "getting the goat of those whom he does not care a snap for." Although he might grumble when asked tp bring up the coal, shouM the occasion arilie he wcjuld risk his life for his friend, "The boy is a big interrogation mark, he wants to know why," hA remarked. "The same doubts ana problems that confronted you and me confront the boy of today, but you and I were afraid to voice our doubts—the boy of today is not." Two Million Scouts Now There were many organizations working on behalf of the boy today, said Mr. Foggo, but there waa one which stood head and shoulder! above ail others—that was the boy' scout movement. "Its activities are world-wide, it knows no color line, It embraces all religions, It haa a membership of 2,000,000 boys, it Is In 50 different countries." Sir Robert Baden-Powell, when an officer in the British army, realized that the training a soldier received did not help him to act individually when he was In a tight corner, and he instituted In his own regiment a course of instruction to overcome this deficiency, Mr. Foggo stated. •■ During the selge of Mafeklng he organized the boys of the town Into utility troop. The results exceeded nil expectations. On his return to England at the close of the war he set about devising some scheme of training boys along the lines which had proved so successful at Mafeking. In 1908 the first scout troop was organized, and in 1910 the movement had grown to such ; an extent that Baden-Powell resigned i from the army to devote his life to the movement. N Mr, Foggo recited the scout promise and law. "The corner stone of the movement is character-" he said. The word of a scout Is accepted Just as If he had taken a most solemn oath." He also told of the practical side of.scout training, describing the tenderfoot, second class, first class and proficiency badges. "But until we are willing to come down off our pedestal of self-efficiency and be boys ourselves, our plans will go astray," he asserted. Ni teon HooutH 'I often think the scouts are .too modest," he said. "In fact, 1 think many citizens of Nelson liken our scouts to a cuckoo which has been hatched in another btrd'B nest, and does nothing but squawk and open its beak for the fattest worm that is going. If that Is your opinion of the scouts of Nelson, then let me tell you that you never made a greater mistake In your lives. Mr, Foggo told briefly of a few community works of the boy scouts were doing. These Included many minor but time-taking services, such as visiting the sick and reading to them, gathering clothing and supplies for the needy, sometimes also contributing from scout funds for the object. Then there was the Christmas cheer fund for ■ the boys and girls In the hospital and the isolation hospital, a public church service conducted by the scouts, a play given to raise funds toward the annual camp expenses, and other activities. "Do not, for a minute, think that because we do these things w% are sissies, for we are not," he stated. "The scouts of Nelson, hold three medals for life saving, and for two years in succession they have won the Junior ambulance championship of British Columbia." * It was a movement/ stated Mr. Foggo, which the League of Nations, placed on record as being the greatest factor toward World peace in the world today.

RUSSELL SCflH MM GEI NEW T Flaw Discovered in Last Case When Was Declared Sane; 'I'm Glad/ He Says CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—Saved once from execution by a governor's reprieve nnd again by an order from a sanity hearing which averted his death by more than a year, Russell Scott, convicted slayer of Joseph Maurer, drug clerk, found his hope of life rekindled today, four days before the third date Bet for his hanging. The elerk of the supremt court at Springfield, III., Issued a writ of error today which if upheld by the court tomorrow would re-open Scott's case for appeal or for a new sanity hearing. The writ waB baaed on the sanity hearing by which Scott was found sane last summer. Previously he was found insane and Bent to an asylum, but after a year was found at the new hearing to have regained his reason. The writ was asked by Scott's attorney because the Judge, who heard tha last sanity ptoeeedkig refused a change of venue after listening to court attentats who called Scott sane. Open New Fight The court's affirmation of the writ would open the way to a new fight to save the life of Scott. Reversal of It would apparently seal Scott's last hope of escaping execution. The convicted man, a few years ago. hend of a $10,000,000 Canadian corporation projecting a bridge from Windsor, Ont., to Detroit, was arrested In 1924 and convicted of the slaying of Maurer in a holdup. He won a new trial, pleaded guilty and was to have been hanged July 17, 1025, but a hoax telegram, purporting to come from Russel's brother, a participant in the robbery, induced the governor to grant a week'B reprieve. A few hours before the second date for the hanging Scott won a sanity hearing and was adjudged insane. When Scott was brought from his cell In the county Jail today to hear the news of the new writ, he believed he was being started to the death cell. "I'm glad," he exclaimed when he learned of the writ. A Book I have written will be out,this week and I hope it will bring money enough for financing my defence.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—A tale of having: been shanghaied, held prisoner aboard their own ship and forced under penalty of death to transport arms and ammunition for NIcaraguan rebels waa told by 18 seamen who arrived here aboard the Panama-Pacific railway liner Cristobal today. The seamen said they sailwi from Brooklyn laat June SO on the trawler Foam for Sam Diego and first suspected all was not right about the trip when at Puerto, Mexico, on shore leave to find groups of dark skinned mfn loading packing cases In the Foam's hold. They questioned the captain, according lo second assistant engineer, John Holland, and were persuaded tn remain with the ship until it reached Blue Fields, Nic, where he promised them they would be paid off and given passage to New York, according to their story. Rather than be stranded In Puerto, Mexico, they accepted. Shortly before sailing, they said, about 20 "pasasengers" came aboard, and these shortly after the ship had cleared the port doffed their civilian clothing and appeared In the uniforms of Nicaraguan rebels. In OrneraJ's Uniforms Two were in the uniforms of generals, the seamen said, and swaggered about the deck brandishing pistols in the faces of the Foam's crew. On the morning of August 15 the F(»iim anchored three mles off Progresso, Mexico, near the coast of Nicaragua, they said, and machine guns were mounted and the United States flag taken down. Then began a eerlfs of activities In gun running. The ship was ordered run alongside the dock at Bragman's Bluff, they said, while the town was being attacked by rebels from land and sea. Bullets whizzed over their hends, they asserted and then the town finally was captured by the rebels. Ship Is Wrecked Their ship was ordered to Rio Grande and then to Blue Fields Bluff, where heavy fighting was In progress. After a few hours' sailing the Foam drew off and when ordered to return ran aground on the false Blue Fields rocks, said the seamen. No longer of use to the rebels, the seamen said the vessel was abandoned and the crew left, practically without food to shift for themselves. For three weeks, they asserted, they lived on coffee, a little rice and cocoanuts which they picked up on the beach nearby. Finally the United States cruiser Rochester was sighted and eight of the crew rowed In a life boat eight miles to where Bhe was riding at anchor. The men told their story to the ship's commander and asked to he sent home. None of the 13 seamen had received any pay for their services, they said.

Serialized by Ledger Syndicate.) clutched convulsively at the edge of the table. He marveled at the complex nature ot this woman who talked coolly of murder, but drew the line at torture. He could understand the state of mind that would make such a distinction, -but he had not looked for It in Miss Winton. "Gosh!" muttered Sammie the Swell. "So little cutis is going to be bumped off. I thought Mr. Emanon——" "What you thought makes no difference. Swell. The plans have been changed. In the beginning 4t waa the Duke's intention to have Miss Hard wick turned over to the police as soon as he was free. That Ward murder was a rather malodorous af- members of the Duke's gang spirit fftlr. and Miss Hardwlck Is hopsleasly ■yaopsis of rreeetlag XnstnUawate THE GRAY PHANTOM, hero of many miraculous near-criminal adventures. Is lured from his quiet retreat near New York by THE DUKE, his old enemy, whom he had been Instramental in sending to prison. -Reaching hie agents through underground wires, the Duke has schemed to present a perfect case of guilt against HELEN HARDWICK, sweetheart of the Gray Phantom, and she is wanted by LIEUT. CULLIGORE. of the police, for the murder of PAUL WARD, a wealthy rogue. The Phantom Is also being tracked down In connection with the murder of MRS. SLADEft, the Ward housekeeper, who waa found knifed in the back the next day. Before the police can arrest Helen members of the Duke's gang spirit her away to a deserted place outside the City, and send FAY WINTON, a vampire type of woman, to deliver the Duke's ultimatum to the Gray Phantom. The plan le to keep Helen a hidden prisoner, not to be released until the Gray Phantom has used his extraordinary ability to rescue the Duke from the penitentiary. Ten days are given the Phantom to perform this act before Helen hi put to death, Desperately, the Phantom tries to find a way out. Through AMBROSE MARR, eccentric acquaintance) With whom he bad shared past adventures, he learns that the only one of the Duke's gang who knows* -Helen's whereabouts is MR. EHANON ("no name" spelled backward), the Duke's right-hand man, who may be recognised by his fondness for playing weird violin music. Craftily, Marr tells the Phantom that this mysterious personage is Fay Winton. Before he can act on this knowledge, the police surround the house and Marr hides the Phantom In an underground chamber. From the hidden room he Is kidnaped by members of the Duke's gang and taken to the deserted house where Helen Is held. Here RED MAGEE, a brutal criminal, tortures Helen until her screams force the Gray Phantom to accede to the Duke s demands. Doped and brought back to the city unconscious, hie first act Is to seek out Fay Winton and force her to tell the location of Helena hiding place. But, after the severest sort of test, the Phantom is convinced that she is hot Mr. Emanon, after all. Honing to find some solution to the situation, the Phantom explores the hidden room from which he was -. kidnaped. Hearing some one In the passage, he follows the footsteps until he enters a gorgeously furnished room. There, on the center table, lies a violin. "Like old times," drawled Swell in a tone of pleasant anticipation. "Between you and me, I'll be glad when the Duke is back on the Job. Mr. Emanon, whoever he Is, Is all right, but it gives a guy a wooay feeling to take orders from somebody he never sees." "No doubt, Swell, but Mr. Emanon has his reasons for remaining anonymous. You will have to swallow your woosy feelings and take one more order from him through me. It is his wish that you put the Igloo in readiness for the Duke's arrival." ".More and more like old times! So the Duke la going to hang out at the same old place?" "For a while at least. He'll be safe there while the search is going on. Better go there this afternoon, Swell, and try to make the place look Just as it did before the Duke was sent up. It will make him feel at home." "I get you. Anything else?' Miss Winton did not answer immediately. By some strange paradox of mental reactions, the things he had heard affected the Phantom like a revivifying shock. His suspicions had been confirmed; he was longei* floundering in the dark. Certainty terrible though It was, was less tormenting than suspense. The conversation in the next room had made the situation vividly, brutally clear. He knew positively now that the Duke meant to violate his prom lse, thereby releasing the Phantom from all obligations Imposed by his sense of honor. So positive were the conspirators that he would liberate the Duke, that already they „were talking of putting the Igloo in readiness. He had heard of the Igloo, the secret retreat of the Duke, but neither he nor tbe police had ever obtained the faintest inkling of where it was located. His mind was clear at last. Now that he knew the wotst, the feverish rage that had burned in his veins was abating- He could breathe more freely again; the choking sensation of doubt? and fear was gone. Already the outlines of a plan were shaping themselves in his mind. The outlook was black enough, but he had one advantage. The man and woman talking In the next room had not the faintest suspicion that he was listening to every word. Only a stroke of luck had guided the Phantom through the passage, and they had no reason to fear an eavesdropper. "Just one thing more," Miss Winton was saying, and now he perceived an Indefinable change in her tone. "Tell me, Swell, do you know where Miss Hardwlck Is being kept?" Swell spoke as if the question had given him a gentle Jolt. "No, and I don't care particularly to know. There's such a thing as being too wise." "Right, Swell. I don't want to know, either. I Just wondered. Yesterday afternoon you received a report from Cram which you transmitted to me." "Sure I did, but Cram knows how to relay his messages so they can't be traced." "I know, Swell. You may hear from Cram in the morning again. Tell him from me that Miss Hardwlck is not to be treated with unnecessary harshness until further orders." A muffled exclamation sounded in the next room. "But Mr. Emanon " "You heard me, Swell," interrupted Miss Winton evenly. "It will be well for you when the Duke returns, . if In this particular Instance you obey me instead of Mi"- Emanon." "All right," said Swell hastily. "what you say goes. I'll tip Cram off to what you said." "IDon't forget." Her tone softened a little. "I don't suppose you understand my feelings in the matter, Swell, and It isn't necessary that you should. Death Is sometimes inevitable, while torture is crude and unnecessary. I abominate crudities; they are a blotch on existence. Owing to circumstances that have come up. Miss Hardwlck must be put out of the way, but she mustn't be subjected to neodless suffering," Affile the. Phantom's fingers HALLETT KIN Trail Bowling League Progresses; Weir Takes Bad Beating; Freeman Loses compromised. The Duke could imagine no worse punishment for the Phantom than to have her involved in a scandal of that sort. He was right, but recent developments have necessitated a change of program. Know what has happened to Topeka Jimmie?" "No." said Swell In a mildly startled tone. "I ain't seen Jimmie since Tuesday night." There Is a reason. Topeka Jimmie Is dead." Swell gave a husky exclamation. "I shall tell you how It happened," continued Miss Winton. "It may be lesson to you, though I trust you will never need It. ft appears Topeka Jimmie had been disgruntled for some time. Imagining he was being unfairly discriminated against and not getting his share of the proceeds. Ha concealed his feelings and waited for an opportunity to get revenge. Jimmie happened to be one of the few who knew where Mien Hardwlck was kept, and that Ct&ve him a chance to Vent his petty spite, and, as he expected, put away tidy little sum against a damp and dreary day. The other night he went to the place where Miss Hardwlck is confined, expecting to take her away. H« Was caught in time and—well, as I told you, Topskft Jimmie Is dead." "Served him right," muttered Sammie fervently. "But I don't see how he expected to line his pokes by pulling a stunt like that." "Oh, Jimmie was clever—a bit too clever for his own good. He thought he would try the time-honored pastime of playing both ends against; the middle. His Idea was to get even with the Duke's organization by taking Miss Hardwlck away, and then settle an old grudge against the Phantom by forcing him to pay a high ransom for her release. -There is a rumor to the effect that the Phantom Is very wealthy, but t think it is grossly exaggerated. The Phantom was always a prodigal, throwing away with one hand what he took with the other. He's made a few lucky speculations since he turned over a new leaf, and his gardens are giving him a modest Income, but he Is not a rich man. Jimmie was mis- "I never thought Jimmie would pull a raw one like that," commented Swell. "And I am telling you this In case you should be tempted to do likewise." explained Miss Winton softly. "Jimmle's interference was an unfortunate thing for Miss Hardwlck, One of our men caught them conversing through a thin board parti, tion. and Jimmie told her Mr. Emanon's real name. You see how awkward that makes it for us, Swell. Mr. Emanon Is extremely valuable to the Duke, but hla value will be gone the moment he loses his anonymity. Under the circumstances there is only one thing to do. "Well, there are better worlds than this," declared Swell In tones of mock solemnity. The Phantom, smiling grlmj/, turned away. He had learned enough, and he fancied the colloquy in the next room was drawing to a close. He must disappear before discovery came, not because he feared an encounter, but because to be found now might be fatal. He glanced, at the violin on the table, and a sardonic twinkle appeared In his eyes. The cards In his desperate game with the Duke had been shuffled in the last 20 minutes. The odds had piled up against him, but he would still win, although he would use different strategy. He looked for the exit in the wall, remembering that a slight pressure had opened it for him, and now his eyes fell on a tall full-length portrait occupying a position at the exact point where he had entered the room. The man in the painting was almost as tall aa himself, with a slight stoop to his shoulders, a neatly trimmed beard covering the lower portion of his face, while the deep- set eyes, with an expression of mingled arrogance and greed, glared at him. He pushed one side of the frame, and the picture pivoted noiselessly on Its axis. He reflected, as he started down the dark stairs, that there was an oddly symbolic touch In the circumstance that the door of escape consisted of a picture of the Duke.

(517») Hr Economies that result in lower Prices *Ivery day one meets with object lessons in the economies of volume buying. Cigars by the box cost much less than if bought one by one. Discounts of a cent or so for purchasing in pairs and dozens, is the housewife's well- known measure of economy. Imagine, then, the savings possible to General Motors of Canada, buying in hundreds of tons, thousands of gallons, millions of feet! Steel, nickel, copper and brass; wire, glass, lumber and paints; leather and various fabrics; all these General Motors of Canada buys in vast quantities from the home market • . « Canada. Naturally the finest products of Canadian mines and forests, the toughest hides from Canadian herds, the choicest weaves of Canadian looms, the best materials from Canadian factories and laboratories, are available to this great Canadian institution. « Naturally, this results in lower costs and lower prices for those economies are effected in every phase of building General Motors of Canada cars, from the enameling of fenders and the manufacture of radiators, to the construction and upholstery of the Canadian-built Fisher bodies that are used on Canadian-built General Motors cars. Couple with this obvious result of tremendous buying power, the manufacturing, selling and distributing economies of huge volume - add the supporting revenue of enormous exports to the Empire across the seas. — and the clear conclusion explains why. in the face of good wages to the superior craftsmen who build its cars, General Motors of Canada can continue to give motor car values, unsurpassed if equalled, elsewhere in all the world.

The shipment was made on October 12, 1878, and tonight it o banquet attended by pioneers of the province, both from the agricultural and business sections, Ihe men who handled the first grain shipment told of the experiences of the old days, the hardships and trials of the ptonaei "farmer of the plains." Serious Crop Failure There was a serious failure of the spring crop In ,t,ho province of On- *arlo in 187ft. Seed wheat was urgently needed, and R. C. Steele, founder of the firm of Steele, Brigg Seed company of Toronto, was selected to make the long, ardousu Journey tn the Red River valley In order to on tain a supply. He sought 5000 bush- lS, but was only able to obtain 800. He came via St. Paul to Fisher's Landing, the end of the railway at that time, and made the balance of the trip by steamer and ".lumber wagon." The wheat was shipped to Fisher's Landing by steamer and thence by rail to Duluth, to Sarnia by steamer and again by rail to Toronto. Guests of honor at tonight's banquet Include R. R. Keith, Winnipeg, who helped prepare the grain for shipment, and H. S. Pateraon. long a resident of Winnipeg but formerly of Toronto, who distributed the wheat to Ontario farmers.

C, Ot.'ll.—The news of the impending expansions to the Consolidated company's plant at Trail does not come as a surprise to those who are following the progress of the company's operations in this district closely. During the past few months there have been, tremendous jumps In production from Kootenay and 61 oca n mines, which has meant a corresponding Increase in custom ore at the Trail smelUr. This, along with other causes, brought about a perceptible slackening up at. the Sullivan mine, and it became obvious that extensions would be made at Trail to tako care of the output- of the Sullivan. Similarly, completion of the new addition to the concentrator here, which will add another 1000 tons a day to Its capacity, has been held up because of the inabili.y of the machine shops at Trail to fabricate some of the required machinery. *Mors Expansion The additional power line to Kimberley from Cranbrook Is obviously connected with the proposed policy of further expansion and the establishment of the ball mill at Moyie Is regarded as welcome news In this district, ,assisting still more In the rehabilitation of that old town. Opinion Is expressed that still further ajrowth In the company's sphere of nitrations is pending, and Marys- ville, threif miles frohi Klmberlty, is looked upon as a favorable slt^ for a Tvw program of development. Whether tbere will be a miniature Trail Bprlng up there to take the local concentrates is not known, but signs, are not wanting that, gigantic as the company's operations 'are at present and the scale at which Ihey are maintained, the peak has even yet not been reached.

The ills of infanta and children should be 10 well known to the youngest of mothers that a reminder or a repetition of the symptoms of illness seems unnecessary, yet there are some mothers who overlook a feverish condition, a little colic, or a disposition to be irritable. If not corrected they may lead to serious sickness. And to correct them, to bring Baby back to its happy self, is so easy by the use of Castoria —a medicine prepared just for infants and children. It will regulate the bowels (not force them), aid digestion and so bring quiet and rest. Fletcher's Castoria has been doing this for over 30 years; regulating the stomach and bowels of infants and children. It has replaced the nauseating Castor Oil, so-called Soothing Syrups, poisonous Paregoric and other vicious concoctions in the homes of true and honest mothers—mothers who love their children. Those mothers will give their babies foods and medicines ' especially prepared for infants and children. - Fletcher's Castoria safely relieves Constipation Wind Colic Flatulence Diarrhea To Sweeten Stomach Regulate Bowels Aids in the assimilation of Pood, promoting Cheerfulness, Seat and Natural Sleep without Opiates.

GLOUCESTER, Mass., Oof. It.— In one of the greatest races sailed In many years, Captain Ben Pine today brought the schooner Columbia home over a 40-mile course JuBt one minute and four seconds ahead of Captain Clayton Horrlssey's Henry Ford. Tonight in the series of three contests for the flahlng fleet championship, two silver cups and a purse of $S000. the Columbia held a decided edge and Gloucester knew It had two fleet vessels and two cunning sailing masters. It was a battle of skippers and today was Ben Pine's day. But the result was In doubt to the minute the leader crossed the finish line. Gloucester remained in doubt tonight as to their sailing qualities so closely contested was the race. Won Near Last The race was won In the last six miles, after the vessels had contested four legs of the course with. varying advantage but on fairly even terms. Pine, well to lee-ward and ahead, tacked to port and crossed the bow of the Ford. He found he could not fetch the mark, tacked back In front of Morrlssey, blanketing him completely and then In his own good time, filled and was off on the short tack once more, straight for the stake boat and on a straight course for the short five-mile reach home. The Ford could not cut down the lead.

After the casino gaming rooms were closed al San Sebastian by order of Prlmo de Rivera, the professional pelota games became the medium through which the publfc was gble to satisfy Its love of g .tines of chance.

The second accepted "with sincere and profound regret," Mr. Melghen'a resignation. The third approved the election of a temporary leader and the calling of a national convention at the earliest possible date following next session. Tribute to Hrtghon The resolution accepting Mr, Melghen's resignation adds the following tribute: "For upwards of bIx years Mr. Meighen has discharged the onerous duties and great responsibilities of leader with high courage and consummate ability. His skill in debate, his unsurpassed knowledge of parliamentary practice and procedure, not less thtn his sterling qualities and human sympathy, have commanded the esteem and admiration of his fellow Canadians and the affectionate regard of those who have known him as a colleague and friend. The record of his achievements as a statesman is written not only upon the statute books, but is to be found in the history of the international relations of the Empire. While for the present the country Is deprived of his wise and sagacious counsel and his wide vision, we are confident that when the extent and character of his public services are fully understood it will be acknowledged that they have been helpful to Canadian development and progress, and that his untiring efforts have been to strengthen those" ties of interest and sentiment which would bind more firmly the provinces of the confederation and maintain the position of Canada as a self-governing commonwealth within the British Empire. "We assure Mr. Meighen that to whatever task he may hereafter devote his great talents, he will carry with him the uffectionate goodwill and best wishes not only of our party supporters but also of all well thinking Canadians in every aec- tion of the Dominion. We extend to htm and to Mr. Meighen our earnest hope that they may enjoy many years of continued usefulness and happiness." BEPLULN, Oct. 11.—"The former Kaiser is the only man in the world who seriously cherishes the hope that some day he -will triumphantly reenter Germany, and reestablish himself on the throne, from which he ruled for 80 years." A high official of the Prussian government made this remark today to the Associated Press in connection with the Hohen- sollern indemnity and property settlement agreement, signed by the state and the former emperor's administrators, and now before the diet. The reading of the compromise bill relating; to the settlement, raised great uproar in the Prussian diet today, the communists assuming u, threatening attitude and denouncing the terms ot the settlement, which provides for payment to the Hohen- zollern family of $2,600,000, the allotment of 167,000 acres of the former estates and the castle at Hamburg for the ex-kalser and his wife, Princess H ermine. "The head of the house of llo- hensollem insisted on the insertion of the Hamburg paragraph In the agreement," added the official, "to gratify his personal \anlty." This was consented to merely for the purpose of securing the ex-kaiser's consent to the agreement. Wilhera is nearly 68 years of age. Though age is not a barrier to his ambitions, it la known that the monarchist leaders do not regard him as their chief. FAMOUS LAWYER Capone.

Oct. 11. — That optimism js again prevalent with respect to the crop, and in the crop In main will be a profitable one were the keynotes of report issued this morning by the agricultural department of the Canadian Pacific Railway company. The weather during most of the past week was favorable and much thresh ing was done. On Friday and again this morning rain and pnow fell in parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan This means' a suspension of threshing operations for at least two days.. Yields In many localities are reported as phenomenal. Warm la Manitoba Warm weather and wind in Manitoba created .excellent drying conditions. Local rain over the Portage division and on the Bredenbury subdivision caused some delay. Yields In Manitoba have been fully up to expectation and from 46 to 50 per cent of the threshing of both wheat and coarse grain is complete. Grades have suffered reduction due to bleaching and sprouting. Rain fell on portions of central and northwestern Saskatchewan. ..Further showers and snow was reported today from Secretan to Swift Current, and from Eyebrow to Ker- robert and on McMorran subdivision. Snow was reported from the-Odore West the Alberta boundary. Threshing continues In the other districts of Saskatchewan. In the central and southern districts from 80 to '86 per cent of the grain is threshed, and from 60 to 55 per cent In the north. Yields nro turning nut well and grades are generally better than expected. In Alberta cutting and threshing Continued until Friday, when rain halted operations. Threshing will be resumed in all pnrts of Alberta today with the exception of Suffield and the west end of Brooks subdivisions. Half Tare*Mag Dons Cutting is completed with the exception of the Crow's Nest and Red Deer subdivisions, where from 10 to 25 per cent of the grain remains standing. Threshing is about 50 per, cent completed. Reports of wheat growing Jn stook are exaggerated and outturns are expected to show less damage than rumors indicate. Sugar beets are being harvested and are showing a greater tonnage than last year. Live stork market is active and quite a number of cattle have hern ■hipped. On the Edmonton, Dun vegan & British Columbia railway weather conditions have been showery, but on the whole sufficient favorable to permit carrying on wltlY threshing operations. The crop (a exceptional in this district and most of the grain going into the elevators is grading No. 1. Onions and Tomato** Hurt In British Columbia the apple crop In the Okanagan is being harvested under more favorable conditions. The movement of fruit through the prartes. has been slow owing to weather conditions there. Packing houses are filled to capacity. The onion crop was damaged from 36 to 50 per cent by frost on September 26 and 27. This does not mean that all this quantity Will not be shipped, but that there will tho very few Btandard grad* onions fit to sell from this territory.

VANCOUVER, Oct. 11. — British Columbia's sine production annually is in excess of 100.000,000 pounds of a value of approximately $8,000,000. In view of that tremendous yield the possibility of sine ihorflge on the world markets ia of great Interest to this province. Practically all of the sine in Canada is produced in British Columbia with quantity being turned out year by year gradually increasing. A. J. M. Sharpe, honorary foreign secretary of the American Zinc Institute, estimates world stocks of sine, September 1, at 33,200 metric tons of 2204.6 pounds each, compared with 37.- 200 tons August 1, a decrease of 4000 tons in August. World stocks, July 1. he estimated at 40,600 tons; June 1, 49,200; May 1. -M.IOQ; 36,400 April 1; and 33,500 March 1. Mr. Sharpe, in viewing the world situation as It pertains to sine, sees a shortage of sine in Europe, in face of an abundance of ore, provided that the English coal strike is settled this month, as he expects. A possible reason for apprehension that he warns against Is an Increase in American output which must reflect Itself In uneasiness in, European prices, even if American prices should stay above European parity, ■•litres British Strfk. About Over In discussing the situation In detail, Mr. Sharpe says: "September has opened very quletlv from a market point of view, and ft is doubtful whether there will be any real liveliness until the prolonged coal strike in Great Britain is over and the miners return to work. Undoubtedly, the back of the strike is broken, and with the near approach of winter It becomes Imperative for the union loaders to make the best terms possible for a settlement. The crisis is now on its last legs and It will surprise e^-eryone if the dispute is not settled (luring the current month. "Meanwhile, the British zinc industry remains entirely closed. The 20 tons reported to have been produced in August were obtained from experimental work. It will be at least n month after the coal miners return to work before the zinc smelters can obtain full operation. Australian Stooks "Fair stocks of Australian concentrates exist, and to prevent any undue accumulation and locking up of money the bulk of the arrivals has been turned over to the Belgian smelters. Thus the nre supply has been superabundant, a factor which has influenced n hardening in the returning charge and the practical cessation of Imports of ore from the Tri-State field. "The Belgian zinc industry has attained its pre-war scale of production, and the main concern in that country today is its ability in the years to come to compete successfully with the ever-increasing output of high-grade metal produced by the electrolytic and electro-thermic methods of treatment. High-grade 99.9 per cent IS becoming increasingly popular as its premium over the selling price of common zinc lessens. The premium has steadily come down from £3 a ton a few months ago to £1 17s 6d, and as it becomes necessary to place larger quantities, so will the spread between the two grades contract, In my opinion. Belgian zinc interests are not unnaturally somewhat apprehensive of this cheaper method of producing metal, which they are unable to employ in their own country. For this reason, we may be assured that the Belgians will leave no stone unturned In improving their distillation practice at the same time trying out the new metallurgical processes. Oouraptloa is Swops Oood "Consumption in Europe is well maintained and highly encouraging, having regard to the disturbed political and economic situation. The galvanizing trade keeps busy and the rollers are still so heavily occupied that no fresh business can be accepted for delivery nearer than three months ahead. Increased number of retorts operating in the United States at the end of July has caused a certain amount of perturbation on this side, lest It Is ths forerunner of another in*3»aae tt American production of slab tmc. j* "One point I would desire to «*»*■> phastse is that if the United States smelters do inflate their output again and have to press sales st ths sacrifice of market prices, there will aa * repercussion on this side of ths Atlantic. While It is true that ths St. Louis quotation Is above London *•*"- tty there must always b« a certain amount of sympathy between tne two markets and any decided trend hi America would be promptly reflected in England."
