We may rely upon this, that the shipping problem between the Mother Coun- try and the various colonies has been thoroughly thrashed out. We are on the eve of a statement from some authoritative person who Wlll propound a new theory as regards the relations between this country and the dependencies. It forms a part of the naval scheme, and has for its ultimate object the linking up of the colonies with the heart of the Empire. “The British Government must control, or nominally control, all shipping whose chief ports are in this country. It is a gigantic scheme, but when the various amalgamations which have taken place and those which are. proâ€" pounded are fully gone into it Will be seen that the shipping of this Kingdom forms an unbroken and unbreakable line round the world, guarded by the greatest navy ever known in history.’ ' W FATAL AERIAL MANOEUVRES. weya, received notice from provin- â€"â€"_. cial authorities that the head of the Two More British Army Officers dog sent down a few days ago had Were Killed.

Those who appear- ed before the commission strongly advocated the appointment of an official Government referee to act at Montreal in cases where disputes arose over short weight. The pre- sent system, they claimed, was un- fair to the producer, who was charged for cheese that was under cheese that was over weight. They invited an inspection of their scales, which the commission said would be made. Some of those who ‘gave evidence could assign no rea- son for shortage in weight, but others said that the shipping of cheese that was too young might be the cause. Dr. Edwards, who was instrumental in having the Govern- ment appoint the commission, was in attendance, and explained that he did not charge dishonesty in the weighing at Montreal, but thought that rules were very unfair.

DISTRIBUTED More are Needed for Harvest in the West, But the Weather [S Helping. A‘despatch from Winnipeg says: Thirtyâ€"five thousand harvesters have actually been distributed over the wheat fields, is the statement made by J. Bruce Walker on Thurs day morning in answer to a query whether 25,000 harvesters had reached the city during the harves- ters’ excursions. _ “We needed fifty thousand, and the demand cannot be supplied this year. The weather conditions are helping matter-s considerably, as the crops are not all in a condition to be reaped. In the sections where the crops are ready the bar- vesters are all busy, and when the other districts are ready I am going to urge the railroads to provide transportation for harvesters who finished to the points where most help is needed. It is the only way left for us now in order to save. thousands and thousands of dollars for the farmers. Of course, out of the large number of men who came from the east on harvesters’ tickets a large number-inevcr saw fields, and just took advantage of the cheap rate to the west. Next year we must Overcome this in some way and have the harvesters selected in the east before our crop is ready. Just how this can be done the fu‘ turo will unfold.” -- . «.4 ‘~ «raga-A M“ i g ,
