PLENTY OF •RAI\ IN WEST S amples Show as Good Head and Clean Straw as Ever Exhibited at This Period A despatch from Winnipeg says: and Sunday nights, but no damage Crop eonditions in the three prairie provinces were never better nor more promising at this time of the year. This is the report being sent out by the Canadian Pacific Ran- a-a:se and is the general result of reports sent in by its agents from every sub -division on the Western 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 ouch of frost throughout South- western. Manitoba last Saturday at this time of year. 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 TORONTO CORRESPONDENCE INTERESTiNC SITS OF GOSSIP FROM THE QUEEN ClerYs In the Happy Summer TInte-Where To- rontonians Send Their HoildaYe -Visitors From the States.

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 of Winnipeg for the purpose of do- ing everything possible to harry on the work, and expedite the comple- tion of the road.

"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. STR DONALB'S PREDICTION.
