The situation in Manitoba, is
greatly improved over one week
ago. Last week some points still
needed rain, but now every 'district,
has been greatly relieved. While
generally eool, the weather has
been good for sturdy growth and
filling of the. beads. Seventy-five
per cent. of the grain is now out in
head and a large part of it shows
a fairly long head, although on
some of the light land owing to pre-
vious dry weather the head is a
little shorter than it would other-
ise have been. There was a slight

was done except on some low-lying
land in the vicinity of Napinka., and
this was confined to a very small
area. There was also some hail in
different sections, but the aggre-
gate damage is very small.
What is title in Manitoba is
equally true in Saskatchewan.
Splendid progress has been made
during the past week, there being
a fairly good growth of straw and
the heads filling well.
All authorities in Alberta state
that conditions there were never
better. There has been an aliun-
dance of rain. and on the light
la-nds the crop looks better than it
has in a number of years. It is
fully expected that with the aver-
age warm weather and plenty of
sunshine the fall wheat will be
ready for mating the first, part of
August. Samples sent in from dif-
ferent seetions show as good head
and clean straw as was ever shown

A despatch from Ottawa says:
Major R. W. Leonard, the chair-
man of the Transcontinental Rail-
way Commission, has just returned
to Ottawa, and lost no time in issu-
mg an absolute denial' to news-
paper assertions that he has in-
creased the grades of the railway.
There has been no change it the
grades, he declared, that will effect
the hauling capacity of a locomo-
tive either eastbound or westbound
to the extent of a single pound.
Neither has he any intention of
making any such 'change.
Major Leonard has Just complet-
ed a long trip, in which he went as
far wast as the Yellowheaci Past in
company with Hon, Frank Coch-
rane, Minister ef Railways, and in
particular weat over the line east

ing everything possible to harry on

While Major Leonard will not
commit himself to a definite etate-

"HERB" LENNOX'S PICNIC,
"Herb" Lennox's picnic in North York
has become an annual midsummer insti-
tution. It is anneaneed that, now that
Tammany Hall of New York has gone
out of the picnic business, "Herb's" is
the greatest political pienic in America.
No disrespect is intended by the 1150 of
the nickname "Herb." That's wbat he
likes to be called, and the name under
which he advertises the picnic. It helps
to make votes, and besides lie really likes
it.
North York hi one of those constituencies
which shows more loyalty to men than
th parties_ This is illustrated bsethe fact
that it, is nearly the same riding that
now gives Lennox a thousand of a ma-
jority that used th give Sir William 'Mu -
lock a four -figured majority nearly every
election. "Bill" had 'his own ways of
keeping in toneh with his constituents,
the picnic is "Herb's" way -one of them.
It also gives him an opportunity to show
a l*t of- his city friends the beauties of
Lake Siincoe. The farmers and their
families come in thousands. There is
&molar and sports and a good time gen-
erally. with a suitable seastoning of
speeches for, the more serious-minded,
speeches which, it does not need to be
added, contain • only good Conservative
doctrine.
A HYDRO:ELECTRIC Logs.
There is peneral regret at the retire-
ment of P. W. Sothman from the chief
engineershin of the Hydro -Electric Corn -
mission th go into private practice. In
his profession Sothman is regarded akin
th a genius. By birth he is Danish and
talks English only with a decided, but
very attractive, accent.
His hobby is airships. He has designed
more than one, -and bas constructed mod-
els. Many times have les reporter friends
pleaded with him to let them print an
airship story about him, but he always
refused. He was too busy working for
the Government, he said.
Sothman used to be very short-sighted.
Then when on a bit" engineering job in
Liberia- he met with an accident which
sent many thousand volts of electricity
through his body. He was knocked sense.
less a,nd badly scarred by the burns, but
his short-sightedness vanished.
He applied to tbe Hydro -Electric Com-
mission tbroueb an advertisement in a
New York engineering paper. And it
was it lucky day when he came to Can-
ada. ITe proposes to stay here.
76 NEW PO STOFFICES.
sfeaees seepera---atest of Them in
Rapidly Filling West.
A despatch from Ottawa says:
Seventy-six new postoffices were
opened in Canada during the month
of June. The great majority • of
t,hern were in the western prov-
inces, thus indicating the rapid
settlement of new districts by the
reeord influx of immigration this
year
sudden expansion in the company's sys-
tem of mains and in its plant. A. less
substantial company would lied it neces-
sary to issue securities more attraotive
than ordinary stock to raise the money,
and conceivably the Gamin:nen' Gas
Company during some such period of
stress as occurred in 1892, 1902 or 1907
might find it necessary to &ell bonds to
raise this money. These bonds would, of
course, come ahead of the common stock.
and that stock would. by the issue of
bonds, become less satisfactory as an in.
vestment. Indeed. lt might happen that
as earninge are limited to a sum sitflici-
ent to pay 10 per tent. on the common
stools, that in order to pay the bond in-
terest it would be neeessary to cut, the
return on the junior security.
Or, suppose, under stress of a coal
strike or some other unforseen contin-
gency the Company's eaenings fell be-
low the 10 per cent. mark. It would be
necessary to cut the dividend in order
to keep vsithin the earnings. But a bond
in a similar Position couldn't be denied
its interest. In a period of stress such
a company could. raise by means of a
loan from its bank enough money to
take care of such a temporary contin-
gency. But the law and the ordinary
principles of good business would pre-
vent the directors taking similar steps in
connection with the dividend in such a
case.
That is why a stock should not be called
an investment. Many people will find
fault with this attitude, but when we COMO
right down to facts nothing can be de-
vised which will come ahead of a mort-
gage -and therefore of bond, which is
secured by mortgage; but if a contin-
gency arises it is a very. simple matter
th slip in a couple of bond issues and
all descriptions of preferred stock be-
tween the common stock and the assets.
And even if there is nothing between,
the common sbareholders has no right to
demand, or expect to get his money back.
He is merely a partner in the enterprise.

The Ownership of a Bond
Lays the Basis of a
PERMANENT Income
IN those sections of Canada
where there is the greatest
per capita wealth, Bonds
form the largest item in the
list of investments. Bonds are
considered the most desirable
method of investment from
standpoints of safety, income
and convenience.
The purchase of the first
bond -whether $100, $500 or
$I000 -forms the basis of a
permanent and independent
income. The satisfaction in its
possession stimulates the desire
to own another.
We can aid you in solving
the problem of making your
money earn more money-
making your savings grow and
earn a constantly increasing
income.
The man of small capital
should consider the safety of
his investments. He needs to
'know about bond investments
because they offer the highest
possible return consistent With
absolute security.
We have excellent bonds in
denominations of $100 and $500
as well as $1000. The security
of these bonds is established
by expert engineers and expert
attorneys.
The financial position of the
properties by which bonds are
secured is strictly investigated
by us before bonds are offered
to our customers ---in fact, since
the organization of this house
there has been no default in
principal or interest payments
on any bond it has brought out.
We will be pleased to consult
or correspond with investors
regarding any securities in
which they may be interested.
We have bonds of the highest
grade yielding from 5% to 6%
