R. Healey, shot alongside and suddenly applied the brakes, skid- ding some distance and crashing the fence, smashing some posts. The skidmarks indicated that Mr. Malcolm was clear of the road. The noise frightened the horses, which ran to the barn, the jar throwing Mr, Malcolm into the manure spreader, where he escaped serious injury almost by a miracle. The spreader was broken, and his silo was damaged from the impact, Mr, Malcolm wishes to correct the statement that appeared, as his horses were not running away, and did not causc the accident. On the contrary, the noise ot the accident caused the horses to (run to the barn.

"It is what I would expect, how- cver, in a plant' designed by Mr. Dallyn and constructed under his upervision, He is an engineer in a I have every confidence,--he was in my Department for sixteen years--and this plant is still further evidence of his professional ability" said the Chief, Health Inspector.

Ottawa, Oct. 8.--Flotation of a domestic loan by the Dominion Government is thought to have been' under consideration yester- day at a conference of Canadian investment bankers with Hon. E. N. Rhodes, Minister of Finance, leading Toronto and Montreal bond dealers were present, No official announcement will be made until arrangements are completed, but it is believed in financial circles that the Govern- ment will seek to raise, perhaps, $100,000,000 from Canadian in- vestors by the sale of bonds at DOMINION GOVERNMENT PLANNING TO ISSUE NEW 100 MILLION LOAN cent. The marked' improvement in the bond market encourages tthe hope that the proposed issue will be readily absorbed. Money is required to meet & $30,000,000 maturity, to finance unemployment relief contribu- tions and other Federal projects, and to provide for the deficit of the Canadian National Railways, which will be in the neighbor- hood of $60,000,000 this year. The Federal Government is un- likely to have a surplus at the end of the fiscal year, owing to disappointing returns from new taxation imposed in the last Bud- par bearing interest at 4% per get,
