To Can 100'000 Western Cattle
Ottawa—After consultation with
spokesmen for Western ranchers, re
presentatives of the Alberta and Sas
katchewan Governments and officials
of the Federal Department of Agri
culture, the Dominion Government
has formulated Its policy with respect
to the critical livestock1 situation in
the Prairie Provinces. Estimates fur
nished by the Alberta Government
show that the cattle population in the
stricken areas of that Provinces num
ber approximately 900,000 head, while
according to private estimate there
are some 750,000 head of cattle in
Saskatchewan for which the supply
of fodder is quite inadequate. In co
operation with the two Western Pro
vinces most seriousl yaffected, the
Federal Government proposes to ask
Canadian meat-packing companies to
remove ‘from the stricken regions
some 100,000 head of common cattle
to net the producers $1.25 per hund
redweight at their nearest loading sta
tions. The plan will provide funds
which the producers may use for
foundation herds or for the necess
aries of life.

ernment contemplates.

$10,000,000 to Aid Stricken West
Ottawa—-Although no definite ap
propriation has yet been made, it is
believed not less than $10,000,000 will
be required from the Federal Ex
chequer to provide relief for the
drought-stricken areas of ‘Western
Canada. It was a story of farmers
prostrate .from five, consecutive crop
failures, of hundred of thousands of
cattle starving from lack of fodder
and of millions of acres of wheat and
grazing lands devastated by torrid
weather and lack of moisture that was
unfolded to Prime Minister Macken
zie King and. members of his Cabinet.
In the past two years Parliament ap
propriated $9/000,000 for drought re
lief in Saskatchewan alone, and it is
estimated that at least $10,000,000 will
be necessary during the approaching
autumn and wirttor for drought relief
in the three Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Raft Gets Into Head gates
A raft which had been built above
the Truax raw by a number of boy
swimmers caused considerable trouble
when the "ship” was allowed to float
down stream and lodge in the gates
at the head of the race which supplies
the power for the factory. The con
glomeration of boards and- logs be
came so wedged in by the current
that a team of horses and block and
tackle were required to remove the
obstacle, and the Truax plant was idle
for three hours while the work was
being done. As a result of the happen
ing the powers that be threatened to
prohibit swimming in vicinity of the
head of the race, but as yet no steps
have been taken in this regard.—

into the brewery warehouse at Wiar-
