v THE DBK E OF SlT HERLAl Will Send 5,000 People to Canada to Colonize Yast Tracts. : A despatch from Tac<^mft, Wash- yigton, say*: I'or the purpose of inaugurating a big colonization pro- ject tlie Duko of Suthorlaiid lias ac- quired a, substantial interest in 12,000 acres of land near White's Laiuling, on the west side of the Frascr Jtivcr, twenty miles below Fort George, British Columbia. He intends to sell l<X)-acre farms on easy terms to any of his Scottish tenants who desire to emigrate to Clana<la. The first colony will be psu<l)lishc<l next spring. Tlio Duke has also in view who acquisition of larger tracts in the same diatrict, uiid will not restrict betllcmcnt to his own tenants, but intends i<> offer liberal inducements for emi- gration from Scotland. His agents are now examining various land propositions. Boforo leaving Rritish Columbia th« Duke expressed his belief that ho would be the means n[ sending 5,000 people to British Columbia nc.\t year. Ho has also acquired 50,000 acres of prairie land along the line of the Canadian Northern Railway in Saskatchewan and will colonize this in the same manner. He owns farm lands in Okanogan Valley, as well as real ostato in I'xlraonton. Battleford, Lloyd Minister and Trinoo Albert.

A despatch from Winnipeg says ; Regular loan companies operating in the three western Provinces in- creased their investments in this field by $15,006,821 during the year 1910, according to carefully com- piled statements. The Btatcmcnts cover the operations of 76 com- panies, and show that at December 31, 1910, there was loaned on real estate mortgages $71,323,550, as against $58,315,735 at December 31, 1909, the increase for the year be- ing equal to 20 per cent. The in- crease in Manitoba was $5,606,241, or 39.8 per cent. ; in Saskatchewan $G,CJ3,'211, or 17.3 per cent., and in Alberta $2,552,309, or 42 per cent. Last year was exceptionally active from a loaning standpoint, and while largo sums have been loaned by all regular companies this year, the best authorities doubt if the increaso will be as great as during 1010. -â- S GENERAL.

Luusnal Opcriiliiiii Witnessed by Visitors tu lti>erdale /mo. A despatch from Toronto s.ays : Th<> elephant at the Kivcrdalo Zoo acts as his own dentist. A few days ago it pulled a tooth which h.'xd been bothering it, the opciralion bo â-  ing witnessed by a number of por- icinH who wero watching the ani- mal al the time. It ajipeared to bo iu iiaiu, and worked its trunk round in its mouth as though to dislodgo something unpleasant. At last, af- ter moving its trunk frantically, the animal drew something from its mouth. It cast the tooth thus ex- tracted out of the enclosure. Th* molar was large, and had evidently broken off in the giim, as all tho root did not come ..out. The crown was in a good state of preservation, but there were signs of decay lower dow n. CONTROL OF SUBMARINES. Successful Experiments by the British Admiralty. A despatch from Portmouth, Eng- land, says: Successful experiments with the wireless control of sub- marine boats have been made, but tho details are kept secret. It is known, however, that a submarine was taken to shallow water off Selsey, while the Hertzian waves were worked by the cruiser Furious. The submarine, which was on the surface, wa* manned and was found to be entirely under tho con- trol of the cruiser. Then the crew was taken out, and the experiment was equally successful when tho boat was submerged. Similar ex- periments are being made with tor- pedoes. IRISH STRIKE SETTLED. Companies .Vgreo to Rein.stalo 00 Per Cenl. of the Meo Out. A despatch from Dublin says : The strike declared on the Irish railroads by the Amalgamated So- ciety of Railway Servants, Septem- ber 21, has been settled. The strik- ers abandoned thoir original griev- ance, which was thoir objection to handling lumber shipped by a firm which was having trouble with its employes. By tho final arrange- ment tho companies agree to rein- state 90 per cent, of the strikers at once, and the remaining 10 per cent, when vacancies occur. They will not dismiss the new men who were taken on during tho strike. -*- BLUY SUCCEEDS WUYTE.

GRilN IS BEIl SWeLED PEPPER ADULTERATED. For ^ Years It 1108 Been 40 Per Cent. Impurr, Hays AnalyHt. A despatch from Ottawa says : That the pepper used throughout Canada has been 40 per cent, adul terated for the past 33 years has been shown by a pamphlet issued by Mr. A. McGill, chief analyst of the Department of Inland Revenue. Perhaps tho commonest adulterant is ground olive stones, which is so common an adulterant that it is called "poivrette" or "little pep per," by the authorities. Just lately two carloads of this poi- vrette have l>cen sent into Canada, obviously for tho purpose of adul- terating peiiper. As the ground olive stones have other uses the au- thorities cannot prohibit their com- ing into the countrj-. Alleged Extensive Operations Between Canada and Dakota Discovered. A despatch from Minot, North Dakota, says: In the arrest at Norma, near here, of Walter Jack •on, wheat buyer for the Atlantic Grain Company, atul A. M. Mag- nie, a farmer, by United States Customs .Agent (jcorgo W. Foulkes, Federal officers believe they have unearthed an extensive scheme of grain smuggling from Canada to the Hour mills at Minneapolis. Confessions, it is understood, are in the possession of Mr. Eoulkcji. It is alleged that the emugglers brought the grain across the bor- der at night, disposing of it to Am- erican farniers, who in turn would take tho grain to the clevaLns near tho border. In Kuiuggling })arloy there is a gain of about forty cents a bushel to the producer, th.Tt i>c- ing tho difference in price between tho Uiiiteti Slates and Canada. It is allege<l that the profits were lU- vid.'d among the i)ri>ducing farm- ers, tho American fanner, and tho grain buyer. JUST A LITTLE INDISPOSED. Visitors Found Jim's Family Droopy and Languid. An eloquent lesson in the philo- sophy of [ho wik'erness, which re commends tho traveller to "stick to the trail," comes from "The I^og of the North Shore Club," a recent book by Mr. Kir^'land B. Alexander. Wfiile the Indian guides portigid round tho falls at Frenchman's Ra- pid, which is on one of the hun- dred rivers that take their source in lakes deep buried in the unknown wild, and flow down through rocky gorges and plunge over falls, and roll at last into Lake Superior, Mr. Alexander and a companion struck an intersecting trail that looked fresh. They were simultaneously seized with a desire to loave the portage trail and see where the new trail led to. It looked as if it might lead to a lake â€" the contour of the country indicated it. It did lead to a lake, and to their surprise they saw an Indian teepee on the far side of it. They walked round the lake, â€" still on the trail, â€" and found an Indian patching a birch-bark canoe in front of the tee- pee. Mr. Alexander recognized him as Jim Radigeau, or something like that. Anyway, it was Jim. Jim said he had his "woman" and "kids" in tho teeiiee. Mr. Alexander and his friend went in to call and take some pictures. There squatted a equaw and four half or three-quarter naked youngsters in tho teepee. Nobody seemed to be enjoying tho call. The visitors stayed just long enough to ex- change a few half-Chijipewa com- monplaces and observe that all the members of Jim's family looked droopy and languid. Mr. Alexan- der tried to draw one little papoose into conversation, but without suc- cess. When they came out, he said : "Jim, the wife and the kids don't seem to be well." Jim said, "Naw," and went right on putting pitch on the canoe seams. "Been sick long!" asked Mr. Alexander's friend, sympatlictical- ly. "Two, t'rce dayâ€" mcbbe week or two." "What's the matter with thcmf .Mr. Alexander asked. "Do you know, Jim!" "Not much â€" just leetlo seek, I guess. Sniullpo.x, man at post, ho say." THE REST HABIT. Hard to Break, but It Can Be Done, Say.s Ainliibic Mr. Glluimerton. "For that don't feci like work feeling:;, with which," said Mr. Gliiiimcrton, "I fancy we are all of a more or less likely to be afllictcd, I would in some cases prescribe rest, though in most cases no doubt the proper prescription would bo exertion. "Tho trouble with the rest cure is that it is like taking opiates ; tho ninro you take the moro you want. Tho rest habit is easy to acquire and hard to break. "Tho habit of exertion, on the contrary, is one that commonly we do no take to so kiiully ; it does not, as it wore, spontaneously per- meate us as tho rest liahit docs; it moy in fact requires assiduous cul- tivation, and it takes quite a man to acquire this habit in a complete- ly saturating and penuaneiit form so that he is proof against attacks of he rest habit, whicli, if he has a trace of it loft in biin, is sure to <ievelop on tho slighost provocation. "Exertion is the only real cure. It may bo hard to iake at first, but you'll come to'like it. Persist and y(ui'll liiid it vastly strengthening aiul then <li'lightfiil, and then, while in takinp; tho vest euro you are all the time p;iyini? money out, in tak- ing this one you have money all the time cdining in. "Try work, continuous, steady, hard work. Once get tho habit <if work enibed<lod in your system and you won't bo troubled any more by that tired feeling." Captain Allen of the Tiollcvillo Sahation .Vrmy was attacked and seriously injured by a young man suddenly si ized with iloinentia. .\bout two t'uius.md five hundred years ago, the first taxes were le- vied on tho Atheni.in people by tho legislator Solun.

There is a growinK antagonism in Turkey against tho tyrannical sway of the t'ommitteo of Union and Progrosa.. A despatch from Rome, say* : After the shelling of Tripoli on Tuesday operations were resumed on Wednesday morning, but the Italian warships again directed the fire only against the outer forts. It was feared tiiat if the inner forts were shelled damage would be done to the town. The shore batteries in Sultanie and in Hamidie forts were dismantled. Then the cruiser entered the harbor, and two officers with a detchmeno of marines dis- embarked and made their way to Hamidie fort. Upon reaching the place they found it evacuated, and carried away with them the sights of the guns, and the bodies of three Turkisn artillerymen, which lay in the fort. Up to the present, despite the bombardment, and despite the Italian excursion ashore, there is no sign of surrender on the part of the Turks. The bombardment will, therefore, continue until the town capitulates, or until all the Turkish troops have left Tripoli for the in- terior. Even if Tripoli capitulates ther« will be intervals of several days more before the arrival and disembarkation of the army of oc- cupation. When the army has been landed the offer of mediation by Germany or some other power is ex- pected to follow immediately. Tripoli lighthouse having been destroyed by some of the first shots fired. Admiral Faravelli has given orders for its immediate recon- struction, as it is of the greatest utility to the Italian fleet. BOYCOTT IT ALT AX GOODS. A despatch from Constantinople, says: The embargo on coal an<I petroleum has been raised. An anti- Italian boycott has commenced, and Custom-house porters on Thur.sday refused to discharge Italian goods from a British steam- er. The Grand Vizier opposes the expulsion of Italians. The news- papers are pessimistic over the sit- uation, declaring that it is hopeless to expect anything from the powers. The Sultan has ordered prayers in the mosques, invoking the aid and protection of the propiiet against Italy. MOSLEM APPEAL TO THE KIKO A despatch from Constantinople eays: At a meeting held on Friday in the Mosque of St. Sophia a tele- gram of protest against Italy's de- claration of war on Turkey was for- mulated and sent to all tho Parlia- ments of the world, peace and ar- bitration societies, universities, So- cialist organizations and The Hague Peace Tribunal. The telegram says the occupation of Tripoli is unjusti- fied, and that Italy is unworthy of a place among the great power-o. It asks whether western civilization ha.s considered the effect upon the eastern mind of Italy's brigandage. The meeting also sent the follow-' ing message to King George : â€" | "How can a power liJie England,; ruling between eighty millions and ninety millions of Moslems, regard with complaisant silence the dec- laration of war against the Otto- man nation and the blockade of Tripoli? Is such policy in harmony with the present and the future in- terests of England?" MOVING STAIRWAY. London Underground Installs First One in UritaiQ. A despatch from London, E.Tg- land, says : The first moving stair- way introduced into England is in operation at the Earl's Court sta- tion on the underground railway. It will carry ten thousand passen- gers hourly and do more work than six ordinary lifts. The traffic by the deep-level tube is so hea\-y at the busiest hours of the day that the lifts are overstrained and pas- sengers are delayed. If the experi- ment succeeds, similar double stairways, moving up and down simultaneously, will be constructed at other stations of the underground system. _♦ CANADIAN GRETNA GREEN. 914 Marriages Performed in Wind- sor During Vaat Three .Uonths. A despatch from Windsor, Ont., says : Marriages, as usual, head the list in vital statistics of Wind- sor for the three months ending Sept. 30, according to the figures given out by City Clerk Lusted. During the quarter there were 911 nuptial knots tied within the city Limits, and Windsor's reputation as a Gretna Green is sustained. In these marriages 97 per cent, of couples were non-resident, most of them living in the United States. Births during this period totalled 115, and deaths numbered 79. . * SUICIDE AT POUT ARTHUR. Finn Shot Himself Dead in News- paper OUloo. A despatch from Port Arthur, Ont., says: Charles Johnson, a Finn, entered tne office of the Fin- nish newspaper hero on Thursday afternoon, and, in the presence of Etlitor Hehi, whipped out a re- volver, sending the bullet into his 1 stomach. Ho died in a few iiiin- ' utes. Johnson was 30 years of age. j Ho had been drinking heavily. DUKE BUYING UP MILES. His Grace of Sutherland Has Op- lions on Vast Tract in West. A despatch from Winnipeg says i If certain negotiations now pending reach a successful conclusion, the Duke of Sutherland, who recently visited Vancouver, will own larger land holdings in British Columbia than he does in Great Britain. It is understood that his agent has obtained options on nearly thirty miles of agricultural lands on both sides of the South Thompson River, extending eastward from near Kamloops. A great deal of this area is under cultivation. The ma- jor portion will not be produetiva until an irrigation system is in- stalled. The purchase price will probably exceed 3500,000. 6,000 .MILES WIRELESS TALK. Mes!<agcs E.vohaugcd Between San Franciseo and Japan. A despatch from San Francisco, says: Wireless messages flashed from Sau Francisco to Japan, span- ning 6,000 miles of ocean, tor the first time, at 2.15 o'clock Thursday morning. Greetings were exchanged between the San Francisco operator in the United Wireless station at Hillcrest and the Japanese opera- tor at the Joi station on the Island of Hokushu. the most northern sta- tion in Japan. After fifteen min- utes' "talk." sound ceased, and it was impossible to get into communi- cation again. GRE.VT FIRE IN ENGLAND. Church and Three Factories De^ stroyed at Leicester. A despatch from Leicester, Eng., says; St. George's Church and three large hosiery factories were destroye<l by firo here on Thurstlay night. The loss is estimated at $1, •250,000. The fire is said to have been the most disastrous in the his- tory of Leicester. ODB SAVINGS AYERAGB $82 Canadian People Have a Great Deal of Money Earning Interest. A despatch from Toronto says: In spite of the evidences that money is being expended fairly freely in this country I?radstreet's, the com- mercial agency, has computed the average savings of the people, on a basis of population of eight mil- lion at $82 each. Bradstroot's point out that at the end of August savings deposits in tho various charteretl banks of Canada totalled $575,710,930, thus slu'wing an in- crease since a year ago of about $30,000,000. While the great bulk \ of tho re.idily availible s'lvi igs ..fi the i)eople is to be found in the ' chartered banks, there weic i ., i August 30 deposits in other tinan- cial institutions totalling $30,037 ,» It'G. Of this amount !ill.t,G77,873 was in tho Government savin.ga bai.k at the end of 1010, while $43,-, 58(i,3,57 was in the Postoffice Sav- ings Bank and $27,772,937 was in the loan companies and building, societies. This brings the known total up to $001,778,122, m.iking an avcrago of over $82 per head of. population, presuming the ixipula- t:on to bo eight million. No doubt this average is estimat«j od too low. as the figures other than those for the chartered banks' arc ivr the oiul of the year 1910, â- ^iuc© when depwite in other insti- tutions must hav» increased ap- preciably.
