FLOODS ABATING

Railway Communication Re-
sumed With Interior Canada.
and United States.
St- "John, N.B., May 6. -Railway
communication with Upper Canada
and the United States was resumed
on Saturday night when the washouts
on the Canadian National Railway
were sufficiently repaired to allow
drains to run. The situation on the
Canadian Pacific Railway was much
improved and it is believed that
through trains will be run on Tues-
day. -
On the St. John Valley Railway
there was no improvement and the
water was still over the rails in many
places.
The peak of the floods has been
passed and the swollen waters of the
St. John river, after causing millions
of dollars worth of damage, are slow-
ly receding. Reports of damage con-
tinue to pour in from many places
throughout the province but the sit-
uation is expected to improve and it
is believed that the water will fall
rapidly.
As a result of flood conditions pre-
vailing in the Megaguadavic near St.
George on Saturday, George Little,
who attempted to shoot the Long
Whip. Rapids, was drowned. A young
Frenchman who was engaged in log -
driving in the same district is missing
and it is feared he has been drowned.
A third drowning occurred at New-
castle when David Travis fell off the
brow of a log drive on Saturday.
Ice Jam in St. Lawrence
Delays Cattle Export
A despatch from Montreal says: -
Cattle shippers of Montreal stated on
Friday that the huge ice floes off the
south shore of Newfoundland and the
Gulf of St. Lawrence were causing
heavy losses to those interested in the
newly developed export trade in Can-
adian cattle to United Kingdom ports.
At least twenty vessels are at present
being held up in these ice fields which,
but for this hindrance, would be
available for cattle export In the
meantime store cattle for export have
been arriving here daily until it is
estimated that there are now about
600 head here. Prolonged congestion
spells heavy losses to exporters says a
prominent cattle shipper.
On the execution of its road pro-
gram the Province of Quebec is to ex-
pend over $6,000,000 this year, With
the exception of a few highways on
which wort. has already been started,
the expenditures will effect the main-
tenance of provincial and regional
roads,

FISHING CONCESSION
ON FRENCH ISLANDS
Canadian Awarded Five -Year
Monopoly at St. Pierre
and Miquelon.
A despatch from London says: -J.
11.•Anderson, a Canadian, well known
in New York shipping circles, is in
London for the purpose of interesting
Anglo -Canadian financiers in a five-
year fishing concession, which he isl
understood to have secured on St.'
Pierre and Miquelon, from the French
Government, Anderson's concession
is said to be a big one, amounting to
a monopoly of the fishing, wharfage,
and storage rights for the island, and
it is understood he plans to bring the;
fish to British and other markets.
Four passengers of the ice -bound
French trawler, La Provence, who
were rescued from ice floes south of
St. Pierre by the White Star liner
Canada a few days ago are under-
stood to have been employees of Mr.
Anderson. 1
Mr. Anderson is the man who,
three years ago, sought a contract
from the Ministry of Shipping for
the repair of 14 ex -German ships -
interned in South American waters.
The action of the ministry in sending
the ships instead to German firms for'
repairs caused much talk and clues -
tion in Parliament at the time.
The period of operation of the Can-;
adian wheat board Act of 1022, has
been extended by Order -in -Council un-
til the fifteenth of July, 1924: The act
expires on August 15 this year. The:
Act provides forthe appointment of
a wheat board on the request, of two
! or more provinces.

NEW RUSH TO NORTH
FOLLOWS OLD TRAILS
Human Stream Pouring Into
Gold Fields of Northwestern
7" Quebec.
A despatch from Cobalt says: -
Judging from the number of people
who are signifyingtheir intention to
visit the gold fields of northwestern
Quebec "just as soon as the break-up
comes," it is evident the transporta-
tion facilities are going to be taxed to
their utmost limits.
A . good many prospectors' will no
doubt travel in with their own canoes,
so as to be equipped for cruising far
and wide throughout the new district,
but there will be an army of men who
have set destinations in view, and will
rely upon the trails for moving from
place to place.
Travellers, for the greater part, will
carry considerable baggage, it being
practically necessary for, • each to be
provided with his own shelter and
food. This will add to the burden
under which the transportation com-
pany will labor, and already it is pos-
sible to picture open boats, barges or
pointers being towed by gasoline boats
up the upper Ottawa and Kenojevis
Rivers, often moving throughout the
night as well as during the day, and
loaded heavilywith miscellaneous
freight ht -and with.. pioneers.
p s.
Seasoned prospectors, representa-
tives of capital, ordinary adventurers,
prospective storekeepers, mining en-
gineers and a swarm of would-be pros-
pectors will comprise the human
stream.
Experiments Prove That
Cancer is Infectious
A. despatch from Paris says: -The
infectious character of cancer is said
to be proved almost conclusively by
the experiments of Professors'Roussy
and Wolf on a number of hens of Ply-
mouth Rock breed, A. cancerous
growth was regularly produced by
inoculation from a tumor and the
curious feature was that old birds and
sick ones remained immune, while fowl
in the best° of health invariably suc-
cumbed. The experimenters were able
to transmit cancer to other breeds of
hens, but not to pigeons. The cancer
microbe, however, still is undiscovered.
Fowl cancer is not communicable ,to
human beings.
Yeast Plant Yields Relief

Tt•is• thought that the yeast plant
contains an active principle similar.

KING AND QUEEN
EN ROUTE TO ITALY
Their Majesties Aeclaianed by
French Citizens on Journey
-to Italian Frontier.
Modane, France, May 6. -King
I George and Queen Mary of Great
Britain passed 'through here about 8
o'clock this evening, on their way to
Rome, where they will be the guests
of the Italian sovereigns at the Quir-
inal palace. The station was decor-
ated with British, French and Italian
flags, and a beautiful bouquet of Al-
pine flowers from the mountains of
Savoy, from the Mayor of Modane, to-
gether with some lovely spring blos-
soms from the Italian colony here,
were handed to Queen Mary. '
French and Italian officials were
present at the station, and Count
Carlo Macchi di. Cellere, master of
ceremonies at the Italian court, wel-
comed the royal visitors in the name
of the King and Queen of Italy.
Their majesties' special cars were
detached from the French train and
attached to the Italian royal train,
which had been sent to the frontier
to meet them. The engine was driven
by the chief engineer of the Italian
railways, and was decorated with
British and Italian flags.
