Saturday, October 28, 1916. No. 9 Following is the substance of a bulletin just issued from Ottawa, giving details of the government's policy for the encouragement of the livestock industry in Western Canada: The Dominion Lv'e Stock Branch will pay reasonable traveling expenses of a farmer, or the authorized agent of a number of farmers, from any section of Canada desiring to purchase one or more carloads of breeding stock or of feeding and stocker cattle in any part of the country. A systematic effort in Western Canada to conserve cattle suitable for breeding and feeding purposes has been made by providing special facilities for parties wishing to take advantage of this assistance at any of the western stock yards. The expenses of farmers buying cattle under these conditions at such stock yards will be paid in accordance with the general terms of the policy as stated above, and in addition the services of representatives of the Branch will be available in an advisory capacity if so desired. The actual purchasing, however, must be done by the buyer himself.or through his authorized agent. Under no circumstances will any responsibility in this connection be assumed by any officer of this Branch. It must be distinctly understood that no assistance under this policy can be rendered when stock is purchased for speculative purposes. The expenses will cover railroad transportation from the home of the purchaser to the point at which it is expected that the purchase will be made, also hotel and livery expenses (exclusive of automobile hire) for the time which should be sufficient to purchase the consignment. No assistance in the payment of freight is given, nor is any responsibility assumed by the Branch in connection with the purchase price of the shipment. The purchaser should keep vouchers for all purchases of two dollars or over, and should include with his account all such vouchers together with a duplicate copy of the receipted shipping bill. The account should be forwarded in duplicate on forms which will be supplied for that purpose. The purchaser is further required when forwarding his account to include a statement regarding the purchases covered by the accounts, on forms supplied by the Branch. These forms, together with the expense account forms referred to in the last paragraph, may be obtained from the representative of the Branch at the Winnipeg stock yards. Parties wishing to secure breeding or feeding cattle desiring to take advantage of this policy should make out their applications for this assistance on forms which may be obtained on request from the manager of their local bank, who will be in a position to give further particulars of the scheme. These forms, when completed, should be forwarded to Mr. D. M. Johnson,Markets Representative of the Live Stock Branch, at the Union Stock Yards, St. Boniface. Manitoba. Copper Strong for Years. Commenting on the recent order for 448,000,000 pounds of copper for the warring nations, Walker, of Boston, commercially known as one of the most noted copper authorities, says: "This means that the metal situation is in a stronger position than ever previously in the history of the trade. It now appears that they have agreed to pay 26 cents a pound for this immense tonnage and that the profits to the producers on this single transaction will be $20,000,000 in excess of the aggregate dividend payments of the American copper mining companies during any preceding year. "The tremendously strong cash position of the producing companies cannot fail to have a steadying influence on the metal market for many months and probably for years to come. "This transaction makes it quite clear that the ��� Allies see before them a long period of hard fighting." Vienna: The assassination of Count Stuergkh, the Austrian premier, by Dr. Adler, was purely political. That the premier refused to convene parliament is the reason given by Adler. Experts say that copper will not go below 25 cents for more than two years. A Basic Industry The remarkable economic conditions created by the war have revealed the immensity of the unsuspected industrial opportunities in Canada. Facts hitherto unknown or disregarded are now being considered by the manufac- turer.producerandthepublicwith a view to securing greater scientific application, accurancy and economy in industry and the maximum return to Canadian capital and labor. While it is essential to investigate and initiate methods to eliminate waste in production, it is equally important to study the waste in industry due to purely economic conditions and to promote the more efficient utilization of our natural resources to the advantage of the nation. On account of thecomparatively small population of Canada, and the consequently limited home market for our products, basic rather than subsidiary industries should be primarily encouraged. This object having been achieved, subsidiary interests will naturally develop. Recent developments in the mineral industry, the products of which are essential to nearly all forms of manufacturing, exemplify the concurrent growth of basic and subsidiary enterprise. The progressive policy of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co., Trail, B. C, furnishes a specific instance. For several years this company has mined and smelted lead ores and operated the only large lead refining plant in Canada. Since the war three large Cottrell plants have been installed and are recovering valuable mineral from the smelter gases. Owing to the demand for zinc and copper in the manufacture of munitions, the company has recently installed a zinc plant and is contemplating an electrolytic copper refining plant. As the zinc process depends upon a supply of sulphuric acid, the company has just completed a sulphuric acid plant, having a capacity of ten tons of acid a day. The sulphuric acid is made from fumes collected from the smelter. Five tons of acid will be used in the lead and zinc refineries and the remainder for commercial purposes. A portion of the sulphuric Hiyu Cranberries There is an unusually heavy crop of cranberries this season. On Friday and Saturday Mrs. W. H.

Our I troops have driven back the Ger- i mans on a front of eleven miles for a depth of eight miles on what was considered an impregnable front. Paris: Four tons of projectiles , were dropped by a French air London: Between the Ancre river and the Pozieres-Bapaume road, on the Somme front, the British troops have checked the offensive of the Germans under Crown Prince Rupprecht of Ba- varia, and have themselves re- squadron of 24 machines on blast sumed the offensive with the return of favorable weather. The operations are on a large scale, and have proved successful. Repulsing the enemy attack, Haig's men pushed forward from 300 to 500 yards. An advance of 5000 yards was made between Lesars and the Schwaben redoubt, which was the scene of an earlier attack by the Germans. The British captured Regina and Stuff trenches and advanced posts north and northeast of Schwaben redoubt, with several hundred prisoners. This is the most important attack in three weeks. The troops march wearing their overcoats. Paris: Heavy attacks on the French positions at Sailly-Sailisel, as well as on positions between Biaches and La Maisonette, near Peronne, were generally repulsed. At one point the enemy gained a foothold in the French trenches, but was expelled, with heavy loss. Further south the French.were successful in gaining possession of a wood north of Chaulnes. The political and military leaders of France and Great Britain held a conference at Boulogne. London: The Russians have repelled all Teutonic assaults on their lines. On the Italian front artillery activity is reported. There is no change in the Roumanian campaign. The Entente demands that Constantine turn over all war supplies. The Greek army must march southward. Sheerness : A hostile seaplane which approached a fortified seaport south of the Thames was shot down. furnaces north of Metz and Thien ville stations. Hits were secured on all objectives. Another French flotilla bombarded the factories at Rombach. French troops fought their way forward in the neighborhood of Sailly-Saillisel, capturing the entire Spur No. 128, west of the village. North of the Somme, toward the end of the day yesterday we carried out a minor operation which was entirely satisfactory. The total number of prisoners taken since Saturday in the Chaulnes sector was 450, including 16 officers. Petrograd: Austro - German forces made a new attack yester- day.striking north of Brody,near the Volhynian-Galician border. The assault was repulsed. Enemy attempts to cross the river Boldurka.a tributary of the Stripa, north of Brody, were repelled by our fire. Along the whole Caucasian front reconnaissances and exchanges of fire are taking place. Paris: There has been desperate fighting at Cerna, on the Macedonian front, resulting favorably to the Entente Allies. The Bulgarians counter-attacked in force, but were defeated by the Servians. Petrograd: The Russians and Roumanians in Dobrudja continue their retreat, offering a stubborn resistance to Von Mackensen's army. London: The German cruiser Muenchen 'vas torpedoed. A Berlin despatch says she was only slightly damaged. puts a damper on the enthusiasm aroused by the continued success of the Entente Allies in Picardy and at Verdun. At Tchernavoda is the only bridge across the Danube between Belgrade and the Black Sea, and full possession of this by the enemy would open to him the way to Bucharest. Bucharest: Roumanian troops yesterday made an attack on the whole Oituz front,near the Transylvania-Roumanian border, capturing ten machine guns and several hundred prisoners. Paris: There is no activity on Struma front, owing to floods. Servian troops have captured several trenches from the Germans and Bulgarians in the Cerna region, in Macedonia. London: Frantic with rage at the loss of so many airships, Count Zeppelin is reported to have declared that he will send eighty zeppelins to wreck London. TUESDAY, OCT. 24 London: The British have captured more trenches, which carried them near the Bapaume- Peronne road. Seven Teuton aeroplanes were brought down and several forced to land in damaged condition. Railway stations were bombed by our airmen. Berlin admits the retirement of German forces. During the night there was considerable shelling on our front between Lesars and Gueudecourt. Our troops now occupy the positions near the tip of two mine craters formed yesterday by the enemy at the bluff south of Ypres, and are satisfactorily establishing their positions. The British have captured since the beginning of the offensive thirty thousand prisoners, or a little less than fifteen hundred for each of the twenty-one villages taken. These had an average population of three hundred. In addition, Haig's forces have taken 125 guns. 109 trench mortars and trench guns and 429 machine guns. The British have not lost a gun. The tanks saved the loss of twenty thousand men by the re THURSDAY, OCT. 26 =% JJ WEDNES., OCT. 25 London: Switching for the time from the Somme offensive, probably as a counter-move to the Teutonic advance in the Dobrudja region, Roumania, the French smashed the German lines north and northwest of Verdun. The operation extended over a front of four and a third miles, the enemy lines being penetrated for the whole distance, while in the center the French gained a depth of two miles, taking the famous village and fort of Douaumont, with 3600 prisoners and quantities of war material. The remarkable nature of this achievement is best measured by the bare statement that the Germans are now almost exactly where they were on Feb. 26, although they have sacrificed half a million men in efforts to take Verdun in the meantime. London: More than a thousand yards of German trenches in the region of Gueudecourt and Les Boeufs,north of the Somme, were taken by the British in the fighting of yesterday afternoon. During the night there was intermittent shelling on both sides. All German counter-attacks were repulsed. London: The capture of Con- stanza by the Teutonic forces was not unexpected, nevertheless it London: The French maintain the important gains made in their sensational drive north of Verdun, and have driven back three successive counter-attacks, with heavy losses to the enemy. Additional ground has been gained east of Fumin wood and north of Chenois. The number ot prisoners taken is now 4500. Fort Vaux is still in German hands, but the new French lines run beyond it on both sides. Rain is interfering with operations on the Somme front. General Rawlinson says: "The German lines on the west front can be smashed by continual hammering. The British have not yet reached the zenith of their po<*er. The results of the Entente offensive are satisfactory." Reports from the Somme indicate that a large number of German soldiers fail to respond to the leadership of their officers. Paris: Italian cavalry from Southern Albania yesterday formed a junction with the cavalry and artillery of the Entente forces on the Macedonian front. London: On three sides the Teutonic allies are working with feverish energy in the effort to encompass Roumania. In Dobrudja the Roumanians and Russians continue their retirement,having evacuated Chernavoda. Buchar est advices say the Roumanians have been forced to fall back slightly in Transylvania. Petrograd: South of Dorna Watra.near the frontier junction of Bukowina, Transylvania, and Roumania, the Russians dislodged the Austro-German forces from a series of heights, taking prisoners and two machine guns. Copenhagen: Five more Norwegian ships have been sunk by German submarines. New York: The new British loan will be for $300,000,000, at 5J per cent. FRIDAY, OCT. 27 Paris: The Germans, after shelling the positions recently won by the French in the Vaux and Douamont sector of the Verdun front, delivered four more counter-attacks, but like all enemy efforts since the big drive by the French on Tuesday, they were successfully withstood. The number of prisoners now exceeds five thousand. Enormous quantities of war material have been taken. London: The enemy made a violent attack on the British troops holding the Stuff trench, north of the famous Stuff re- drubt, recently won by our men. The Germans were repulsed. Elsewhere on the front there was little activity. Before retreating from Chernavoda, according to a Bucharest despatch, the Roumanians blew up the bridge spanning the Danube at that point. Little knowledge can be gained of the situation in that section of the war zone. Petrograd: Russian troops in the wooded Carpathians are successfully withstanding Teutonic assaults. An attack on the height northwest of Capul mountain was repulsed. In the direction of Zlochovin, in the Zygen region, the enemy attacked in small force and was repulsed. Saloniki: The Servians have captured several heights on the left bank of the Cerna. French cavalry, supported by infantry, occupied two villages southwest of Lake Doiran, and took the bridge at Zvezda. Berlin: The admiralty announces that during September 141 hostile merchantmen were sunk or taken by submarines and that 39 neutral ships were sunk.
