When s8én by The Whig, Mr. H. C. Nickle, superintendent, stated that he could sot say just yet what the company would do in regard to the offer. He did not consider the figure a fair one, because in arriving at it the experts had charged the company / with two peak periods of twenty 1 pinutes---one of these peaks oc- urring when a seeper had gone "off the tracks, and the other when the company was giving a certain ten-minute evening service. "Can you say if the street railway company is liable to cease opera- tions?' Mr. Nickle was asked. "No, I cannot, but it is quite pos- sible it may," was the reply of the superintendent. . "Will the company continue to operate for the summer?" "I could not give a definite an- swer to that question either.

Body Found Near Lansdowne That of Albert Buchanan. Lansdowne, July 13.--The young man, 'found dead on the C.-N. R. track near this place yesterday morning has been definitely ide sibly permit a cessation of the street car service, te admitted it would be a bad. day for the city should the company find it impossible to keep going. He did not see how it could afford to sink more money. in a unprofitable project. Motor cars had practically *'settled the hash" of the electric street cars in small cities. What Can Be Done? Should the street rdilway com- pany decide to discontinue opera- tiond it is thought that the time for that is not far distant. The com- pany has so far refused to. accept anything from the city in the way of a bonus. It asked for electric power at cost, and the Utilities Com- mission has decided that .75 cents per kilo-watt-hour is cost. This is 45 cents less than the old figure of 1.20 cents, but it appears that even with free power the company would not make any profit out of running street cars. All kinds of schemes have been tried but the patronage is not half what is neces- sary to give the company a margin of profit. Kingston has been given a street ear service for some years that has not paid, and if the service is snd- 'ceive a bl never recover. Leading citizens are convinced that the whole matter will have to be dealt with by a com- bined meeting of the City Council, the Utilities Commission and the Board of Trade. In the meantime, the meeting of | street railway company will be Jooked forward to with keen interest .Kingston has had a street railway service for more than fifty years and it cannot afford to see that service ended now, * Will Transfer Mowat Hospital Yo in Beene Pd The following statement has been d by the Board of Directors of Kingston Health Association: "An agreement in general terms has been reached between the On: tario Government and the Kingston, Health Association under which he property, buildings and equip- t of the Mowat Hospital for become part of the Hospital for the Insane. announcement in the Kingston rd of the 13th is premature a details have not been q pleted.

'Dover, N.J., July 13.--Cessation of the bombardment by shells to. day warranted uninterrupted recov. ery of the dead and help to the living on New Jersey's peace time battle fleld.

Mrs. Albert Buchanan | went to Lansdowne as soon as she | heard of the discovery and she re- | cognized the boy as her son. {. The envelope found in the pocket of the young man, was addressed by Mrs. Buchanan, to herself, so' her son could write to her. The young man, who was subject to paralytic fits, worked for J. 'B. Wilson, a | farmer, between Lansdowne and | Gananoque. It is believed that he { was on a freight train, on his way to | the farm,when he took a fit and fell fro e train. When found, his body 8 quite cold, Indicating that he had been dead for quite a while, Dr. Mackie, the coroner, held a post-mortem, but adjourned the In- Quest until next Monday night. LAD DROWNED AT GANANOQUE Edward Johnston Swept Off Raft While Gananoque, July 13.----A very sad accident occurred here yesterday about noon, when Bdward (Teddy) Johnston, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Johnston, South street, was drowned. It seems that he and little Keith Me Intyre, both about twelve years old, were playing on a raft near the town wharf, when Teddy was washed off by a wave: His"little comrade ran home and gave the alarm, and Hor- ace Green, who resides on South street, jumped in a skiff and, though knowing little of the art of swimming, rowed out to the spot to which he was directed, jumped in and almost immediately brought the body to the surface. David -Belfie and a Watertown, N.Y., gentleman, who was in town for the Orange cele- bration, and who happens to be a member of a life-saving crew, worked diligently with the little lad in an effort to resusitate him. Dr. Edward Bird was summoned and he, too, did all in his power, but to no avail. It is believed that had a pulmotor been available at the time this little life might have been saved, as there were faint indications of this during the resuscitating efforts. Mr. and Mrs. Johnston and family have the sympathy of the whole community in this very sad bereavement. Only a few days ago a younger son' had the misfortune to almost sever one of his toes, and is at the present time confined to bed through this accident. pe n 1. TUESDAY, WHEAT YIELD 1S ESTIMATED FOR THE YEAR At 348,626,000- Bushels by the Dominion Bureau. LOWER THAN IN 1925 But Final Figures in 1925 Were Greatly in Excess of Offi- cial Estimate. Ottawa, July 13.--Canada's "esti- mated wheat yield, as indicated by crop conditions om June 30th; is 348,626,000 bushels: The yield es- timated for the prairie provinces, according to a report issued yester- day by the Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics, is 327,226,000, and for the rest of the Dominion 21,400,000 bushels. The total estimated yield for oats indicated by conditions on June 30th is 458,840,000. For barley the yield for the Dominion is forecast at 100,624,000. For rye the total estimated yield is 11,762,00 bushels, and for flax- seed a yield of 8,419,000 bushels is forecast, based on conditions indi- cated on June 30th. This forecast, the repqrt points out, is subject to changes due, first, to subsequent re- vision of the areas shown, and sec- ondly, to the effects of the season as between June 30th and the time of harvest. i The crop report issued on the same date last year estimated the wheat production of Canada at 365,- 000,000 bushels, oats at 468,000,000 bushels and barley at 86,000,000 bushels. Final figurés of last year's harvest were greatly in excess of the estimate. Production of wheat w. barley 113,000,000 bushels. The total avea estimated as sown to. wheat in Canada for the season of 1926 is 22,492,000 acres, as com- pared with 21,972,732 acres finally reported for 1925." The increase is, therefore, 519,268 acres, or two per cent. Fall wheat to be harvested occupies 753,100 acres, as compared with 793,819 acres in 1925, and spring wheat 21,738,900 acres, as compared with 31,178,913 acres, the final estimate for 19265.

Ottawa, July 13.--Premier Mel: ghen's mass meeting here, called for next Frjday, has been postponed un« til July 21st, officials of the local Conservative Association announced at noon. It {s presumed that the Prime Minister has asked for more time in which to prepare for the meeting. With 'negotiations for the new cabinet still going on, he has little time to prepare his message to the electors, Mr. King's First Meeting. Ottawa, July 13.--In connection with the report that ex-Premier King would open his campaign in or around Toronto on July 24th, Mr. King's office stated to-day that no definite arriogements had: been made as to his opening campaign meeting. It is considered likely, however, that he will make his first speech in Ottawa. z Hon: Charles Stewart. Calgary, Alta, July 13.-~That the constitutional question would be ed by Hon.

In other words, Conservative chief will fire his first gun over the shoulder of the Gov- ernor-General. This inevitable effort to align those who are not T s against the héro of Vimy is for the purpose of clouding the people's eyes to the real and central fact in this ir- repressible issue of responsible self- government and of preserving Can- ada's status as a Dominion. That fact is that the Governor General did not necessarily err--the King can do no wrong---and no one has sug- gested that be has.
