$20,000 Loss Ocensioned by F
Lindsay.
A despatch from Lindsay ays
The large milt belonging to the
Baker Lumber Company was to-
tally destroyed by fire late Satur-
day night. The blaze was .first
no-
ticd by the nightwatchman, who
sent in the alarm, which was
promptly responded to by the fire-
men. Before the latter arrived the
fire had made great headway and
their efforts failed to save the build-
ing. Besides the building and ma-
chinery, 10 or 12 thousand pieces of
barrel headings were consumed.
The mill, whorl in operation, em-
ploys seventy workmen, and was
one of Lindsay's most successful
industries. The loss is estimated
at about $20,000; insurance about
$9,000. The mill will likely be re-
built during the coming winter.

Steel Company of England recent-

about $1,000,000 for 2,500 twelve -
inch shells, will be awarded to the
English concern, it was announced
on Wednesday by Acting Secretary
Winthrop. Just how many shells
will be made by the English eom-
pany has not been decided, but it
is said only enough will be contract-
ed for to serve as a test. `
OF
NEW CITIZENS
o ver Thirty-one Thousand Entered Canada During
the Month of September.
A despatch from Ottawa says:
During the six months, April lst to
October lst, of the current fiscal
year 273,649 immigrants arrived in
Canada. Of this number 183,990
arrived at oeean ports f and 89,659
from the United States. These
figures show an increase of 13 per
centas compared with the number
of arrivals for the corresponding
montlu, of last fiscal year, which
were 158,614 at ocean ports and 83,-
317 from the United States, mak-
ing
a total for the six months,
April I to Oct. 1, 1911, of 241,931
ersons.
During the month of September
this year there were 31,140 arr;
0,690 of them having been at
in ports and 10,450 from the
les, as against, 29,077 for Sep-
.ber last year, 17,593 of whom
were at ocean ports and 11,484from
the States.
The immigration to Canada for
the last half-year is considerably
greater than the entire population
of Montenegro, the country which
a few days ago declared war
against Turkey.
The electoral district of Carleton,
Ontario, has, according to the cen-
sus of 1921, a population of 28,406;
it will be seen that the immigea-
tion during the last six months is
znore, than equivalent to the popu-
lation of nine sech districts.
Supposing that all the immigrants
who arrived during the last six
months were in line of march one
pace apart, Indian file, the pro-
cession would reach from Toronto
to Kinget-an> more than one hun-

tario and Manitoba.
A despatch from Ottawa says:
A bulletin iesued on Wednesday by
the Census and Statistics Office
cove= the erop conditions in Can-
ada for the moeth ended Septem-
ber 30, It states that during this
month disastrously wet- weather
continued to prevail over most
parts of Canada, especially over
the Provinces of Quebec, Ontario
and Manitoba. At September 30
large areas of grain, both in the
ia.st and West, were still either un-
cut or were exposed to the wet in
stook. Much damage has been
caused by sprouting, and in the
North-West Previneee second

ees did some damage, but as a rule
only late -sewn crops, including flax,
were seriously affected. In parts
of Southern ()Atari° the greened is
.So Wet that many farmers baVe
abandoned the sewing of Vail wheat
for next year.
The estimates of yield published
a month ago could only be regard -
4 as of preliminary value, because
in onsequence of the had weather
and late season harvesting tions had made AO little progress.
The new estimates of yield ob-
tained from eerrespondents at the
4 of Sepkenaber eenfirin geoeral-
ly the previous estimates for Pleat
of the crops, but inasunish as very
little threshing had been poesible
and large areas of grain were still
uhervested, it is feared- that the
Sue/ eetimatee after eompletion of
he threshing may turn out lower
than the figures now given.
For Spring wheat the estimated
production is 165,810,600 butibela, as
