One load only, amounting in value to $19, was delivered, when the bailiff from New Liskeard, acting for Harris,. seized the horses. .

Report That Flyâ€" â€" ing is Impossible Just Now. â€" The following telegram appeared last week in the despatches from Winniâ€" ! The message came to search headâ€" at Winnipeg from Andy Cruickshanks, who joined the airâ€"hunt for McAlpine and his men three weeks ago from Prince George, B.C. It told of snow fiurries in the vicinity of Baxâ€" er Laks, located on the eastern fringe of «thse rockâ€"andâ€"tundra earth area; of ice formed solid over all of the smallâ€" er lakes: of the certain, but leisurely. appreach of the freezeâ€"up. Until the freezeâ€"up arrives, flying is impossible. "Exactly five machines from Baker Lake will conduct the early search for McAlpine as soon as winter weather gets in. It had been planned that three other machines would be despatched from Stoney Rapids, in farâ€"north Sasâ€" katchewan, to Baker Lake to join in the fiying hunt. Now, it is annosunced, the three machines will be held. in readiness at Stoney. "Five machines will conduct the searchâ€"and they will be the only ones," stated W. L. Brintnell, directing movemetns of the planes from Winniâ€" "We are holding the other planes in reserve and they will wait at Stoney until they are ordered to move to Bakâ€" er. The same applies to two . Royai Canadian Force machines due to leave Ottawa for the West tomorrow. They are to be stationed at Cormorant Lake, near The Pas in Northern Maniâ€" toba, until they are needed ‘elsewhere." Cruickshanks‘ estimate of two weeks as the further duration of the current ‘"inâ€"betweern" season forecasts a someâ€" what more lengthy period of delay than had ‘been anticipated. Officials at Winnipeg had believed that it might be safte for skiâ€"equipped planes to venâ€" ture over the barrens by the end of this week; meteorological authorities had considered that a proncunced cold snap was due in the north today or tomorâ€" row which would assure solid ice for landing within a week.
