(Applause ) "The great stream of population that has settled in the 53 years I Lave lived in the States has set- tled in the country west of Chica- go. When I came throt.gh Chicago had 90.000 people, or claimed to have. Within 100 miles of the city it- was wild, unoccupied prairie. To- day Chicago claims three millions of people. Think of it Nearly half of the population of the Do- minion! Now, Chicago was years older than Winnipeg before she had the population you have." 1 1' ed, would always bind, the domin- ions to the Mother Country Turning to Mr. Hill, the vener- able Commissioner expressed his cont fiction that his friend would not forget that day, some time in .April, 1870, when they niet for the first time in St. Paul, somewhere near the river. Things were at that day in a similar pioneer stage to that prevailing in and around Winni- peg. His Lordship then dwelt on the Fort Garry days. when the popula- tion of Winnipeg was perhaps 120, ul at the outside, 200, and contrast- ed those early conditions with the thousands and thousands of people who now throng the streets of Win- n;peg. Looking back those forty years at the change of conditions, he felt no hesitation whatever in CANADA TO BUILD CRUISERS Announcement Regarding Navy for Canada ----Vessels for Pacific and Atlantic. A despatch from London says: The Canadian Associated Press learns on high authority that the vessels to be loaned to the ('ana- dian Government by the British Admiralty, will be two third-class cruisers, ono for the Pacific and the other for the Atlantic. The -•o ships will require refitting and al- teration, which w111 be done on this aide at the expense of the Canadi- an Government. The officers of these ships will also he loaned to Canada, and be paid by Canada. When Canada starts to build war- ships, which the Canadian Associ- ated Press understands will be of the Bristol type of cruiser, they will be built in Canada. A representa- tive of a leading firm of shipbuild- ers will shortly proceed to the Do- minion to select a rite for a ship- yard. Regarding the site of a Khip- ;jard nn the Pacific. a prominent aval expert was asked his opin- ion by a, Canadian official and he replied: "Vancouver is more suit- able than Esquimault, though it might also be necessary to have a dock at the latter." The Canadian Associated Press further understands that the idea o; having submarines on the St. Lawrence River and the Pacific coast has been suggested, and the suggestion has been received with some favor. The Bristol type of cruiser, which it is understood Canada will build, establishing a shipyard for the pur- pose, is a second-class protected vessel, being (f 4,800 tons burden, and capable of developing a speed of 26 knots an hour. Britain is at present building five such vessels herself, to be completed next year. They will have turbine en- gines. Tho third-class cruisers Canada will borrow will probably have a speed of from 20 to 22 knots and be of from 2,000 to 3,000 ton- nage. 111NITOB.t A!TEA LS FOR 1[Ei.P Eight Thousand Men are Wanted at Once to harvest.

Mau Lived all the Time on Berries and Roots. A despatch from Fort William says: Lost in the wilderness for thirty days, during which time he subsided entirely on berries and roots, is the almost unheard of ex- perience of Herbert Reeves, aged thirty years, who was admitted to the hospital here on Wednesday morning. Wasted in form, he was found by a band of Indians near Gull River, forty miles from Schrei- her, where for many days he had lain almost too weak to procure the scant food which he had been eating before. When the Indians discovered hien he was almost de- mented, and endeavored to hide himself, but he fainted in the ef- fort. Reeves had been working in a lumber camp, but left over a month ago to walk overland to the Canadian Pacific, and was lost en route, and was without food or a gun. He still remembers, but only at random, sonic instances of his terrible pilgrimage• He says his home was formerly in Macon, Georgia, and that he had served in the U. S. army. + RIOTERS SENTENCED.

Thompson, Vice -Presi- dent and Managing Director of the Ogilvie Flour Mills Company, in an interview on Thursday says :--"The gi eater part of the wheat crop in Manitoba is already cut, and har- vesting is well advanced in the other Provinces. Thrashing is under way at many poiuts, and it will be pos- sible in a few days to measure fair- ly accurately the average yield. The quality is the best we have Lad in many years, both in respects to strength and color, and it is just such crops as the present that '7ays tuhade Canada famous the world over in the past for the quality of her hard wheat. While our official estimates of the crop have not yet l:cen completed, we believe from reports so far received that the to- tal yield will approximate 115,000,- 000 bushels." EARL'S SON SU'ICID)ES.
