Extensive Emigration -Df
, Hebridians to Canada
A despatch from .London says:--
Canada, Australia and Newfoundland
have now expressed opinions in favor
of continuing the • British Empire Ex-
hibition for another year. It is hoped
South Africa, like Canada, will revise
her first judgment against reopening,
but New Zealand has definitely with-
drawn. The British. Government has
not yet announced whether it will con-
tinue its guarantee, but most of the
members of the present Government
are known to' advocate another year's 1
extension, As a matter of fact, out
of the total guarantee of .£1,600,000,
the British, Government is responsible
for only £000,000, while the Domin-
ions and Colonies have spent almost
92,800,000 on their exhibits and have
no material assets sueh as buildings
and lands to show for 1i. Most of the
exhibitors in the Canadian building
are preparing for another year. The
machinery firms are greasing up their
exhibits and leaving them on their
stands, while the exhibitors whose dis-
plays are more fragile are storing,
em in London. It is understood,'
however, that the Canadian exhibition'
uthorities will favor a complete;
change of -exhibits as. far as. possible
or next year.

The shipment of seven bags of 'wool
from Unalaska to Portland, Ore., this

to Portland was said to be of prime
