CANADIAN CATTLE REACH GLASGOW <, FIRST TIME IN THIRTY YEARS Event Wat Marked by Public Reception, and Steer Valued at 35, Handed Over to Committee, Sold at Auction for 500. A despatch from Glasgow says: The first shipment of Canadian store cattle to arrive in Scotland in thhty years reached Glasgow last week and was received by an enthusiastic gath- ering of cattlemen, farmers and a special reception committee appoint- ed by the Citv of Glasgow The ship- ment consisted of consignments by the Harris Abattoir Company, Toronto ;| the United Grain Growers, Limited,; Winnipeg, and H. P. Kennedy, Lim-| tted, Toronto, the last named firmj acting as repi-pswntativei for the' United Grain Growers in the handling; of their store cattle for export P. J. Irwin, representative for R. P. Kennedy, in Glasgow, cabled that on the shipment heir.g unloaded, a Canadian steer, valued at 35 pounds for ordinary market purposes was selected and turned over to the public reception committee by whom it was sold at auction for the sum of 5(W pounds sterling, and the money turned over the the Unemployment Fund of the City of Glasgow. A banquet in honor of the arrival of the first ship-' ment of Canadian store cattle was 1 held, with celebrities from all parts of Great Britain in attendance. EXPLORER SUCCUMBS TO BLOOD POISONING Earl of Carnarvon Discovered Tomb of Pharaoh After Seven Years of Fruit- less Excavation. A despatch from Cairo says: The Earl of Carnarvon died peacefully at 2 o'clock Thursday morning. He was conscious almost to the end. His death was due to blood poisoning through the bite of an insect, with the later development of pneumonia. When the end came, Carnarvon's wife, daughter and son, Lord Portchester, who ar- rived from India a day or two ago, were at the bedside. In 1895 he married Almina Womb- well, daughter of the late Frederick C. Wombwell. His wife inherited much of the fortune of the late Al- fred De Rothschild. The death of the Earl of Carnarvon comes shortly after the culmination of the exploit that brought him chief- ly into public notice the discovery of the rich tomb of the Pharoah Tutank- hamen, in the Valley of the Kings, in Egypt, by the archaeological expedi- tion which he headed. His father, the fourth Earl of Car- narvon, was British Colonial Secre- tary under Lord Derby, and while holding this portfolio, moved the sec- ond reading of the bill for confedera- tion of the British North American provinces. Resigning upon the pass- age of the Reform Bill in 1867, he again became Colonial Secretary under Disraeli, in 1874, serving until 1878. Later he served for two years s Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He was reputed to have spent more than $100,000 maintaining the expe- dition, which finally uncovered the Pharoah's tomb last December, after seven years of fruitless excavation. The tomb, which contained an un- precedented quantity of objects of the greatest historical value, as well as the undisturbed sarcophagus of the Pharoah, is said to have been the richest find ever unearthed in Egypt. * First Aid to Man Run Over by Train A despatch from Montreal says: Quick action on the part of a G.T.R. locomotive engineer probably saved the life of W. B. Clark, whose leg was severd by a train at the St. Remi Street crossing. The engineer imme- diately brought the train to a stop, and cutting off a piece of the bell rope, made a tourniquet, which he applied to Mr. Clark's bleeding limb and part- ly stopped the flow of blood. The leg had been severed below the knee, and when the victim was admitted to the Montreal General Hospital, it was found necessary to amputate above the knee. Mr. Clark was reported to- day as resting comfortably. BRITISH EDUCATIONISTS IN CANADA Notable figures from th Motherland are visiting Canada Just now at- tending the National Council of Education meetings at the University of Toronto. Three of the visitors are shown, Sir Henry Newbolt, lecturer and poet, who tas just completed a tour of Canada; Mis* Gilpin (centre), head- mistress of Hall School, Weybridge, a notable Engl^hwoman, and Sir Michael Sadler (right). vice-Chancelior of the Cuiversity of Leeds and one of the leading figures in the world of education. PACKAGE OF DYNAITC CAUSE OF A LIVELY SPRINT When Attorney Produces Exhibit in Suit, Judge, Jury and Spectators Make Head long Rush for the Exit A despatch from Detroit says: Judge, jury and spectators clipped several seconds off the record for the 100-yard dash Thursday afternoon, when enough dynamite to take all the shape out of the county building was found within a foot of the desk of Judge Clyde I. Webster. The discovery was made during taking of testimony in the $25,000 suit of Aaron Bayer, 14 years old, against Ray D. Baker, a contractor, for alleged carelessness. The contractor, it is claimed, left caps and dynamite strewn negligently ' about the ground near some work at East Warren and Fairview Avenues, and the boy picked up a cap and FIRE PROTECTION IN NORTH ONTARIO Some of Latest Type of Gaso- line Engines Have Been Decided On. A despatch from Cochrane, Ont, says: Considerable additions to the available equipment has been made for the coming season's work in the north by the Ottawa Fire Protection 1 Service, according to E. G. Poole, sup- ' ervisor for this district. Some of the' latest type of gasoline engines with a pumping capacity of from 350 to 400 gallons per minute, have been de- cided upon and these will be used to' protect town and village while they also will be available for use against, forest fires in the bush. Two railway motor cars and a num- ber of trucks will be added to the equipment and the mounted patrol will be enlarged in numbersv The permit system will not be employed in the New Liskeard area this summer, but mounted rangers wiff patrol the dis-l trict. Motor boats and canoes will be used extensively to cover the territory. Canada from Coast to Coast Halifax, N.S. The steamer "Pet- rel," formerly a Government craft, is being fitted out here for a cruise of the Labrador, and will start north as soon as supplies are taken aboard. The expedition is being backed by Montreal interests for the purpose* of determining whether gold exists in' commercial quantities or not in the, Labrador fields, and the findings of the expedition will largely determine the activities in that field this year. ; Fredericton, N.B. The Carlton and Victoria Development Co., Ltd., has been incorporated to carry on the de- velopment of the areas in which gold finds have lately been made between Centreville and Florenceville in Carle- ton County, as well as other properties in Victoria County. The company has | au authorized capital of $24,000, and! will have its head office at Florence- [ ville. Quebec, Que. The plans for the construction of the new Basilica of St. , Anne de Beaupre have been completed and provide for a church which will 1 probably be the most spacious and finest, from an architectural point of view, in Canada. In architectural style the new Basilica will be a com- bination of Roman and Gothic, and the steeples in front will tower 225 feet high. The Basilica will contain 26 altars in all, including those of the chapels. Toronto, Ont That some thirty new freighters, most of them built in Great Britain, will be added to tho fleets of the companies operating on the lower lakes, was the evidence of H. B. Clark, secretary-treasurer of the Matthews Steamship Co., before the Royal Commission investigating the lake freight rates. During the past year, the lake steamship com- panies moved an enormous volume of grain from the head of the lakes to the seaboard, and it is anticipated that the movement in 1923 will be equally as large. Winnipeg, Man. Increased volume of freight movement from Eastern manufacturers to western agencies for the first ten weeks of the year, compared with the same period last year, is recorded by both railway sys- tems operating around the north shore. While much of this movement consists of delayed shipments that should have come to the West last fall, a considerable quantity registered is new business. Regina, Sask. Over forty tank cars of oil from the Sweetgrass country, in Montana, have already been ship- ped to Regina in preparation for re- finement in the new refinery now building here. Vernon, B.C. The Okanagan dis- trict shipped a total of 2,400,500 boxes of apples in 1922, nearly 100,- 000 boxes more than in the previous year, an official estimate issued here indicates. Peaches and cherries also made substantial gains. Dawson, Y.T. It is reported that so many individual silver claims are producing in Reno Hill in addition to two big companies, that every horse, dog team, automobile, sleigh, and trac- tor in the district has been crowded into service rushing ore into Mayo Landing before the snow disappears. Eight thousand tons were transported before the first of April. threw it against the wall. In doing so it blew half of one of his hands off. "We wish to place in evidence some sticks of dynamite," said one o the attorneys, stooping over to pick up a bur.dle that had been lying since early naming near the judge's desk. Ten seconds later, when the attorney got the package over to his desk, he dis- covered that everyone had magically vanished. There was a protracted re- cess before the unanimous consent of the jury was obtained to come back and look at the explosive. E%'en then, moat of the jury and the judge seemed more interested in looking out of the windows while the lawyer was ginger- ly exhibiting the sticks of dynamite. "Great" Omitted from ; Great Britain Provides the Phrase "Great War." ! for Ex-Service Pigeons- A despatch from London says: A' tendency to delete the word "great" ; from references to the "great war,"; has been noted here, the most recent' instance being when the Prince of Wales unveiled a memorial window in . Westminster Abbey a few days ago. The adjective was omitted from the' inscription on the window, and it was ! also Missing from the order of service for the unveiling ceremony, contain- ing the Prince's address. The Prince, through force of habit, perhaps, read into the printed version the deleted word. Some believe he op- ; poses the shortening of the phrase be- cause of his own knowledge that it was "the great war." He knows much who knows when to hold his tongue. A despatch from London says: Ex-service pigeons which were under fire several times during the war, while carrying messages for the Brit- ish Army, have been pensioned off hy the War Department to the care of a keeper whose duty it will be to sou that they are properly cared for until they die. The birds were used to convey messages ashore from ships at sea and also between France and England. Once while carrying a message 10S miles bird No. 12 was shot through one wing but carried on and brought the dispatch to land. The informatiou the bird carried saved the town of Bridlington from a bombardment. Its mate was shot down by a German sub- marine. Weekly Market Report FOOD GOING FORWARD TO COAST VILLAGES Carnarvon Die* at Cairo. Lord Carnarvon, the. Joint discoverer j of King Tutankhamen's tomb, who was reported as recovering from an attack of poisoning said to be due to mos- quito bite.*. ha,s succumbed to the malady. Th-ere is much speculation upon the effect o( tomb poisons and old Egyptian curses in their relation to his deathi. Newfoundland Sealer Returns With 11,367 Pelts A despatch from St. John's, Nfld., ays: The steamer Sagona, the first of the Newfoundland sealing fleet to return from the ice fields, has just ar- rived with 11,367 pelts. She has been absent just four weeks. The Sagona reported that she made her catch 115 miles off Cape Race, and that the other vessels of the fleet now are working there. Unless conditions improve, the Sagona's will be the only paying catch among the fleet, as she is the smallest vessel, and least expensive to operate. The total kill of the entire fleet up to the present is 73,500. Natural Resources Bulletin The Natural Resour -es Intel- ligence Servii e of th<s Depart- ment of the Interior at Ottawa says: While gold and silver are by far the most vnluablo minerals produced in Ontario, the prov- ince produces other minerals which have considerable econ- omic value. The output or mica alone was 2,229 tons, of a value of $56,480. Of this amount 2,119 tons was what is krown as scrap mica, worth but $10 per ton, whereas the 24 tons of thumb-trimmed mica was val- ued at $550 per ton and 86 tons of rough-cabled mica brought $255 per ton. The mica is pro- duced principally in Leeds, Lanark and Frontenac counties in Eastern Ontario. The Gat- ineau district of Quebec also supplies large quantities of mica. The total production of Canada last year amounted to 3,543 tons, valued at $129,281. Newfoundland Government to Send Powerful Ship to Break Ice. A despatch from St. John's Nfld., says: Determined efforts are being made by the Newfoundland Govern- ment to send food supplies to starving settlements along the south coast, isolated for many weeks by the ice fields that block their harbors. The mail steamer Kyle, plying between this [ port and Sydney, N.S., was taken off, that route and left for the southern I settlements laden with provisions. Already several vessels have put! out on similar errands of mercy, but all have fallen victims to the ice. All are held ice-bound in southern har- bors, some of them having been unable to move for six weeks. The Kyle, I larger and more powerful than the| others, hopes to be able to break through the ice barrier. Tales of terrible suffering in many south coast villages have filtered through to the Newfoundland capital. The winter fell early, freezing in the, herring fleet and thus leaving many fishermen without their usual means of winter sustenance. Later a series of bitter storms built a thick rim of ice along the coast, shutting out sup- ' plies that would have relieved the suf- ; for Ing of the people. Britain Has Huge Surplus. Chancellor Stanley Baldwin has an- nounced a surplus in British finances of 101.000,000, instead of sis or seven million pcunds which had been estimated. It gees to reduce th< na- t! nal debt according to law. but may be diverted to reduce taxation. Income tax paid by Canadian farm- ers in 1921-22 amounted to $1,324,693 ! out of a total of $78,684,354, accord- ' ing to a statement in the House of i Commons, by the Hon. W. S. Fielding:, i Minister of Finance. The number of J farmers who paid income tax in On- tario in that year was 6,138, as com- pared with 1,870 the year before. More jrold is now being produced annually from the mines of Porcupine and Kirkland Lake than the highest record ever established by the silver mining industry of Cobalt. Up to the, middle of March, the output of silver from Ontario since the commencement 1 of mining has reached approximately $222,000,000. This compares with a total gold production of about $113,- 000,000, making a combined total of $335,000,000. In 1922, the output of gold and silver from Northern On-' tario reached $'27,107,000, this being an. increase of approximately $7,000,000 over the output of 1921. TORONTO.
