An Ogdensburg, ~ N.Y., despatch says: The evar increasing freight and passenger traffic on the lakes @nd the St. Lawrence bid fair in the near futtire and probably next season, to precipitate a steamship row that will. be far-reaching in its effects and overtop any similar bat- tle for supremacy in the steamship business on the majestic stream. For some time past, it is alleged, there has been a growing tension between the James Playfair inter- ests and that of the Canada Steam- ship Lines, Ltd. Mr. Playfair is a resident of Midland, Ont., and reck- oned a multi-millionaire. principal owner of a large fleet of boats that ply in the freight trade on the Great Lakes. 2 During and since the war, the steamship business on the lakes and the St. Lawrence has doubled, if not tripled, and large sums of money have been made. It is under- stood that Mr. Playfair believes that the increasing business warrants a competing company to 'divide the freight traffic with the Canada Steamship Lines, between the lakes and Montreal. , It is stated that 'with this end in view, Mr. Playfair recently purchas- ed the fine steel steamers, Huron, | Minneapolis, St. Paul and William | Castle Rhodes from Charles ~ W. Morse, of New York. They are to be brought back at once to the | Great' Lakes and St. Lawrence river service. The purchase of these splendid { Vessels will very greatly strengthen (Mr. Playfair in his alleged impend- |ing battle with the~Canada Steam- | ship Lines, Ltd: v { On the inside of marine cinglgs in | this city, it is understood that there lis to be war to the knife between [these two great Canadian companies {for leadership in the immense {freight traffic of the lakes and river. {| It was reported here Saturday {that Mr. Playfair has options on several new steel ships which are {now in salt water and which he is | very _Lacly to gobble up. The Playfair fleet now consists in addition to those listed above of the | following boats: {am Glencairn, | man, Glenfoyle, | Glentyon, Genorchy, I'striven | All of these boats are now in the | freight business on the upper lakes | and at the present time Mr. Play- {fair is adding to his St. Lawrence [ river fleet canal sized boats. Mr. Playfair is one of the most successful steamboat men of Can- | ada, and if the impending battle be- | tween the Playfair interests and the | Canada Steamship Lines, Ltd., de- | velops, there will surely be merry {times in the steamboat traffic on {the St. Lawrence. | The Canada Steamship Lines, Ltd., is one of the wealthiest and | most substantial steamboat concerns whose vessels ply river and lakes, In. marine circles here, it was never believed that. the~ supremacy of the Canada Steamship Lines, Ltd., would ever be questioned. In fact, it was never thought that any capitalists would have the courage or stamina to antagonize the power- ful Canada Steamship Lines, 1:£d., in an attempt to seize from it its proud supremacy in the navigation business of the St. Lawrence. But Mr. Playfair is said to be a man of indomitable courage and backbone and when he undertakes to do a thing, he does not know the meaning of the word fail. It is for this reason that marine men are now all agog over the re- port that has become current of the impending fight between the Can- ada Steamship Lines, Ltd., and the Playfair interests for control of the lakes and river freight tratic. Should the fight be precipitated, Glenbrae, Glencad- Glenallah, Glenfin- Glenisle, Glenlivet, Glenmorvis, Glenmount, Glenshee and Glen- millions of dollars will be involved Consider This First Class English-made Pipes-- 25.

JUST ONE FAILURE IN LARGE DISTRICT More Than a Hundred Soldier Farms Visited Show Satis factory Progress. In a district of Alberta, near the Saskatchewan border on the Cana- dian Northern Railway, there, are 128 soldier settlers on the land who were. visited by the Soldier Settle- ment Board inspector recently, 'and' {he gives his opinion that all, with the possible 'exception of one, will make good. The exception is a half- | breed farmer whose wife deserted him, and, by reason of that domestic | gress he should. Crops were exceed- ingly good throughout the whole of the district and some of the settlers are expecting to pay their entire in- debtedness to the board out of this year's proceeds. To mention a few of the farms visited, one man borrowed $4,000 from the board: He had this year sighty acres of oats and expects to thresh about 5,000 bushels, in ad- dition to which he has ten acres of green feed. Another man whose loan for the purchase of land was $3,600 will thresh about 500 bushels of oats and he has five acres of green feed and thirty-five acres of sum- mer fallow. A third man borrowed $2,260. He has seventy-five acres in crop and raises considerable stock, having at present ninety head of cattle and sixteen horses. Still another man has sixty acres of fall crop, thirty-five head of cattle and five horses which he purch without the assistance of the board. man received a stock and equipment loan. of $1,000 and an- other loan for the removal of an encumbrance. He will sell twenty head of ;sstock-to liquidate his debts Sul wm have on bushels of oats 0 sell.
