BEAIIBS BUSY WI TH DAIS Have Shut Off the Water From Power Company at North Bay. A despatch from North Bay says : (»orth Bay was in darkness on Wed- Msday night, no electric current boing available for illumination. The power for the local plant is ;enerated on South River, twenty niles away, by the Xipissing Power Company, and low water is given IS the reason for the failure of the power, caused, the company officials Itafce, by beaver dams in Algonquin Park, where the head waters and reserve storage c\ South River are located. It is claimed that beav- trg are holding back water which ihould supply the power company, with the result that not enough water is available to supply the demand. Low water is general this season, and the busy beavers, with their dams, make a bad situation worse. As the law forbids inter- ference with the beavers the com- pany are helpless, and is applying to the Ontario Government for special permission to destroy the beaver dams and allow tie water to reach the power plant. Unless something is speedily done, North Bay. Callendar, and Powassan will not only have to return to candle, but industries will be severely af- fected by the power being cut off.

St. Louis Lawyer Fled From Can- ada Twenty Years .\so. A despatch from St. Louis, Mo., says : The remarkable story of the hidden life of James M. Sutherland for twenty years a lawyer in St Louis, has been revealed through a visit to this city of his son, J. Sinclair Sutherland, of Charlotte- town, Prince Edward Island. Suth- erland was buried several days ago in St. Peter's Cemetery beside the beautiful woman who for more than fifteen years had held a hieh place in St. Louis as his wife. She died thx«e vears ago. She was the darftjffter of a crercymnn and the wife of Sutherland'*! law partner When he was a Qvegii-'^s C«un<;olor frv Canada. She caBfc' to the Unit- etl St.-ttes after hor hu-^h.-tud had died suddenlv and^ Sutherland fol- lowed hcT. Sutherl.ind's widow and loor children are in Canada. A despatch from Rome says : Italy declared war on Turkey be- ginning at 2.30 on Friday after- noon, following a session of the Cabinet, at which the Turkibh reply to Italy's ultimatum was read. An official statement from the Foreign Office says that Turkey's reply to Italy's ultimatum is not peremp- tory as was demanded, but is eva- sive and dilatory. In consequence of that fact the Oovernmeiit de- clared war against Turkey. After the reception of the Turkish reply there was a conference between the Premier and the Foreign Minister and the Cabinet. It was decided to occupy Tripoli without delay. The Turkish Charge d-Affaires has received his passports to the fron- tier and started for home on Fri- day evening. CnOLERA IN TIMS. Thirty-Six Deaths T?cportod .Vmon;; .\^rabs In One Day. A desnatch froii^ Paris says : Cholera is epidemic in Tunis, n rcpency and French protectorate of northern Africa, and the colonial offce has decided to ^Tiforce strict san^ary measures. The French rc- c;.K->t "oncral <if Tunis, (i. F. Ala- petite, has cut shore his holid.iv in Fr-mec and will return to Tunis t.-. direct the health measures.

A despatch from Tripoli says : The Italian destroyer that entered the port under the white flag this afternoon brought a summons fur the surrender of the Turkish gar- rison. The Turkish authorities re- fused. All Europeans have taken refuge in the Italian Consulate, and are awaiting the first shot. The Italian colony is preparing for de- fence. As soon as the ultimatum was delivered to the Turkish Gov- ernment the Italian fleet established a blockade oS the coast of Tripoli, and no Turkish steamer is now able to t-nter. The present mission of the fleet is to prepare everything fur land- ing the Army Corps, which is com- manded by General Caneva. If the Italian subjects are molested by Turkey the fleet will ext-end its area of operations. If the Turkish war- ships attempt action a strong Italian squadron will be sent tu deal with it immediately. Xo dis- embarkation of sailors and marines at Tripoli is to be expected, as the force would not be sufficient to sustain an attack by the garrison of Tripoli. The Turkish fortifications are armed only with small calibre Krupp guns, and cannot injure the Italian warships, which will be able to destroy the forts without difficul- ty. The cruisers Marco Polo and V'etter Pisani left Taranto with the squadron of torpedo boats and de- stroyers under the command of the Duke of Abruzzi. General Caneva, with the expeditionary forces, will be accompanied by General Bricola and the Count Giraldi. The first force is made up of 23.000 men. There will be 40,000 men altogether when the entire force is landed. Regiments are departing daily from the chief Italian towns for Paler- mo, Naples, Brindisi, Syracuse, Catania, Taranto, Genea Acona and Venice, where they will embark aboard transports. The force will be established at Tripoli by Oct. 10. Old ships, with ammunition, guns, and telegraphic apparatus, will follow the transports. Aero- planes and probably other airships will be despatched l*ter. The warships blockading Tripoli are the Pisa, Amalfi, Sardegna. Xa- poli, and Marese. In addition there are six destrovers. TURKISH SHIPS DAMAGED. A despatch from Paris says : The Matin's Athens correspondent, says the telegraph official at Von- itza, Greece, wires to the Govern- ment that a naval battle occurred off Prevesa at 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon. Italian warships belong- ing to the Ionian squadron encoun- tered a flotilla of Turkish destroy- ers cruising off the coast of Epirus. The Italians promptly attacked the flotilla, and two Turkish ships were badly damaged by shells. They have gone ashore in the Gulf of Arta. Prevesa is the southernmost point of Albania. The object of Italy is evidently to encourage the revolt of Albania, which is smarting under the recent cruelties practised by the Turkish General during the rising.

A despatch from Constantinople says : The Turkish War Ministry, according to the reports current here on Friday night, has received a despatch from the late Turkish MiHtary Attache at Paris, who has assumed command of the forces at Tripoli, stating that the Italians began to disembark Friday after- noon, but the Turks succeeded in sinking the first two barges. It is rumored also that Italian forces have landed both at Tripoli and Benghazi. A despatch from Edmonton says : Three carloads of reindeer from northern Newfoundland arrived in Edmonton on Wednesday on the ^ Canadian Northern Railway from ; the east. There were 43 reindeer in three cars, and a fourth car was stocked with reindeer food, moss and grass. The Department of the Interior has planned to stock the district of Mackenzie, and the ani- mals are to be used for carrying purposes in long reaches of the north in place of dogs. The con- signment of reindeer left Newfound- land Sept. 8. and passed through Quebec en Sept. 18 to readi 1 d-, monton a week later. The reiad' or, will be taken by rail as far as Stoay Creek, sixty miles north oJ Edm^ir. ton. and from that point they wjl be taken overland to Athaba>iA Landing. Some that have been well broken will be Led and the oth"r» will be conveyed in waggons. \tt Athabasca Landing the animals wilL be placed in scows and floated down the Athabasca River to Fort Smitk, which is their destination. Threy will have travelled fully five thoor sand miles by the time their jouxiMy b at an end. INSULTED ITALIAN FLAG. A despatch from Salonica says : Immense crowds gathered before the Italian Consulate here on Sat- urday night. The Governor of the town and the Director of Police tore down the flagstaff and the Italian arms, which they trampled under foot to the accompaniment of angry howls and the vilest epithets. The Italian Consul and Vice-Consul surveyed the scene from the steps of the Consulate, courageously run- ning the risk of at any moment fal- ling victims to the bullets of s<.>mo fanatical Mussulman. The Italian postoffice and other establishment;; afterwards receiver eimilar treat- ment. Grave news has been received from Albania, where the authori- ties are apprehensive of untoward developments. BOMBARDED RESCHADIE. A despatch from Constantinople says : It is announced from Janina that two Italian warships on Sat- urday bombarded the port of Res- chadie and torpedo boats lying in that harbor, one of which was dam- aged and landed its crew. The Italian ships entered the port and shelled the town, several houses be- ing struck. After taking soundings they left and later entered Port Musto, taking the Captain of the port and three boatmen prisoners. MAKING SAFE INVESTMENTS HOW THE PRICE OF MONEY AFFECTS PRICE OF SECURITIES.

BCIDBE DS MEET DEATH Dam Bnrsts at Austin, Penn., and Practi- «^\ally Destroys the Town. A despatcli \rom Austin. Penn., eays : Three hundred or more per- sons met their death through the bursting of a dam above this town on Saturday. Fire followed and completed the work of destruction. The curtain of night, which was rung down on the tkH.>d scarcely be- fore its victims had all been claim- ed, and its surviving sepctators fully realized how great a tragedy the elements of water and fire had enacted in the natural amphithea- tre of the Allegheny Mounttains here, was lifted by dawu on Sun- d.ay, revealing a ghastly scene of death and devastation. .\ustin itself, on Saturday a busy mill town of 3,000 people, many ..^i^jtf horn were enjoying a fine autumn afternoon as a Saturday half holiday, is now only a ghost of a town. Torn to pieces by water and eaten by fire, the wet and charred remnants of its buildings, believed to hold the remains of 300 or move persons, were strewn along the valley edge, piled in winro-a-s where the Main street business sec- tion was. or swept in scattered masses far down khe ravine. The c;roatest loss of life by fire ocLMirred at a sharp turn of the vallev just below Main street, where the debris w.as caught and .'om- prcsscd with terrific pc-.vor by the circling sweep of the flcod. The wreckage of the busiest portion of the town was carried to that point and from upset stoves and lamps caught fire. It is believed that scores of persons are buried under from ten to twenty feet of wreck- age there, and the ^ask of recov- ering them will necessarily be a difficult one. * MOTUER AND SON DIE. Because Latter Was Charged With Crime, Causing Heart Break. A despatch from East Brookfield, Mass., says: Bound together by straps about their wrists, the bodies of Mrs. Mary Lacey and her son, J. B. Lacey of Fitchburg, were found in Lake Lashway on Wed- nesday. Grief over a charge on which the son had been arrested 's suptwsed to have led them to sui- cide. Mrs. Lacey was 53 years old and hor son 30. FOR RISSIA'S N.VTY. E.stimate.s for tflt'i Call for an Ex- penditure of ^-^.MftS.OTS.

The other day an investor asked the writer if the present was a goud t;me to buy securities. Tb.s was a very simple qaentiun to asii, but rather a large order to aojjwer. It involved careluUy scruiin- iziag the in9uciii:es cuntrolhug ihe price movements of tocurities, comparing them with conditions in the past and forecast- ing the future. This is a moe*. importaut question in conuection with the investing of money, and almost absolutely esseu- tial tu successful speculatiou. Of course in investment a man need not ! estimato the future of general conditions in order to insurs a steady locomo ami safety. But by so doing be can uccad- ionally quite easily choose a time when he can get a better rate of income with equal security, or even the same security at a lower cost than at gome other not remote time, aDd so it Is quite worth while to attempt this, for while failure to do so correctly involves the upcculator iu difflculties it merely affects the in- vestor by causing him tome disgust at not waiting longer, or tit not purchasing sooner. 01 course, the true iuvestor need not worry over this feature, hut even if yuu shoold intend never to sell your investment, it is nlwnyg a source of sat- isfaction tu realise that you bought it at a lower price than it would bring at present There are two things that affect tne market for uegoliable •ccuritiesâ€" that is securities which are readily bought and sold. One Is the loaning price of money, and the other is the general condition uf business. Sometin>ee these work together, somet.iues in opposition. When working together their power is irresistablc. Usu- ally, however, thuy are in opposition; money generally being low when busi- ness is bad aud high when business is good. The effect of these uondiiions is this. When motipy rates ar« low and business bad and likely to get worse. high-(trado bondH sui'b as good municipal debenture." will advance. The reimon Is, of course. I that municipal bonds ^re practically un- affected by adverse business conditions and, therefore, their price is influenced almost entirely by the money mitrkct.

On ike other hand, wkni basi. aess is good and money dear there is s ' tcndeocy for high-grade bonds to de- cline: for the banks can »ell them aa ' they onty yield a low rate of 4 to 41-2 per ceitt al such a time, and loan th« j mouey at a beiter rate. Other bonds. I yieldiitg a higher rate, and bec<iming the mnre secure vho better the business out- look Is. will tend to advance. The present tendency is this. Money if 1 dear and business very good. Indeed, in I Canada. Therefore high-grade bonds should ease off. They will not do so to any appreciable extent because high- grade municipal bonds are not handled on the Canadian markets, but are dealt in wholly by private sale. But you wil'j notice that the prices which good mu- nicipalities get for their bonds are lesi this year than last. In fact, from all appear3n<-e», the prices are getting down to a level where they yield a return ap- proaching that on free money. Excellent business conditions, however, are cau* ing securities of a lower grade to ad vance, because their safety is improvini and because, yielding a higher rate, thi money miirket is not yet too high to in Huence them seriously. . * CUTTINt; DOWN VI KON MVIL. Only Lighter Forms Forwarded and Other Restrictions Imnosed. A despatch from Ottawa says: After the first of October restric- tions were placed on the kind ol mail to the Yukon to be sent on- ward from White Horse. This ia owing to the closing of navigation. All letters, postcards, single-wrap- ped newspapers, periodicals, etc., will be forwarded ; but newspapers and peric.x.lica!s sent to newsdealers for trade in btilk. books and mer- chandise, circulars, patterns, and samples are excluded.
