Winnipeg, June 22.—Manitoba has
gone "wet" by a s seeping majority
which went beyond 30,000 `in Winni-
peg City, and which was going, up
slowly as the country was, heard from.
The bill of the Moderation League
was endorsed and the policy of jpr•ohi-
bition represented by the Manitoba.
Temperance Act, the; law of the prov-
ince for seven years, was overturned.
The weather also -was wet, and .a
violent electrical rain storm, which
swept the city at ten o'clock •drove the
bulletin crowds tocover,,-darkened
newspaper offices and hampered seri-
ously the collection an'd compilation of
returnsi It had been hdwn, however,
thattthe country ha,Freversed its tra-
ditional polity of "dryness" and ap-
peared to be voting ,fairly evenly,
while' the city, whiclireotd wt in the
importation refereYi'dum' of 1920 by
about 7,000, rolled up tremendous ma-
jorities in ahnost every poll and more
than tripled that figure.
Prohibition workers admitted by
1, ten o'clock 'that their cause had met
decisive defeat. They were surprised
and disappointed at the showing from
the rural polis and the smaller .towns,
and at the size of the majority in Win-
nipeg. Moderation League workers
expressed gratification, and pointed
out that they had claimed a change in
sentiment throughout the province,
Under the bill of the Moderation
League,. which Manitoba has' to -day
adopted, the Government will appoint
a comniiseion of three members to ad-
minister thesale of liquor for con-
sumption ds a beverage in the per-
manent or temporary residences of.

of the; province or guests.. Breweries,
will be permitted to -`deliver' direct.

ernment Liquor Commission.
Portage la Prairie was the only
major town which had reported a dry
majority at ten o'clock, and that was
under 100. Brandon Was wet by near-
ly 1,000.

Canadian Boat Song.
(From the Gaelic.)
Listen 'to me, as when ye heard our
father
Sing long ago the song of other
shores-
Listen to me, and then in chorus
gather
All your deep voices, as ye pull your
oars:
Chorus—
Fair these broad meads—these hoary
woods are grand.
But we are exiles from our fathers
land. •
From the lone shielhig of the misty
island
Mountains divide us, and the waste
of seas—
Yet still the blood is strong, the heart
is Highland,
g ,
And we in
dreams behold the
h
Hebrides.
We ne'er shall tread the fancy -haunt,
ed valley,
Where ';ween the dark hills creeps
the small, clear stream,
In arms around the patriarch banner
rally,
Nor see the moon on royal tomb-
stone gleam.
When the bold kindred, in the time
long vanished,
Conquer'd the soil andfortifiedthe
keep,-
No seer foretold the children would
be. vanish'.;
That a degenerate Lord might boast
his sheep.
Come foreign rage—let discord burst
in, slaughter!
0 then for clansmen true, and stern
claymore—
The hearts that would have given
their blood like water,
Beat heavily beyond the Atlantic
roar.
Tho above poem has been credited
to a number of writers, including John
Galt. About the year 1902 Mesers.
Blackwood searched the archives of
Blackwood and found the poem in the
handwriting of Mr. J. G, .Lockhart,
with a brief statement 'that it had
been sent to him by a friend in Upper.
Canada, About the time that this
poem appeared anarticle on Upper
Canada by John Galt,' who was then
in this country, also was published. In
the.estimation of the Blackwoods, it
is considered certain that the author-
ship of this beautiful poemn,.belongs to
the famous founder of ;Guelph and

west of St. Catharines, 'Ont, eompletely blocking east and west lines, The
huge cars were flung right and left off the tracks. The picture shows a

Lord of the Lands
Lord of the lands, beneath Thy bending skies,
On field and flood, where'er our banner flies,
Thy people lift their hearts to Thee,
Their grateful voices raise;
May our Dominion ever be
A ;temple to Thy praise.
They will alone let all enthrone;
Lord of the lands, make Canada Thine Own!
Almighty Love, by Thy mysterious power,
In wisdom guide, with faith and freedom dower;
$e ours a nation evermore
That no oppression blights,
Where justice rules from shore to shore,
From Lakes to Northern Lights.
May Love alone for wrong atone;
Lord of the lands, make Canada Thine Own!

Point Warning Finger to
Canada.
BY ROBSON BLACK:
WF in such nations as Greece, Spain,
Palestine, Syria, China .and others,
P
enjoyed the osition in the affairs of
the world as Britain, France and the
United States occupy to -day, it was
when those countries had broad areas
of forest wealth. It seems that al-
most simultaneous with the depletion
of the forests was the decline of the
power and prosperity of these na-
tions. Scientists and historians agree
that the explanation is not far to seek.
Agriculture, the dominant industry in
those old countries, as it is in Canada,
thrives best in a land across which'
there are wide stretches of trees.
The advantage to the farmer in
working in fairly close proximity to
forest or wooded lands means that a
cheap and easily accessible supply of
essential construction materials for a
house or barn, fence posts and for a
variety of needs is at hand. Moreover,
he knows the important, service the
forest renders in guarding the
streams against recurrent torrent and
the part they play in preventing
drought, for where there are many
trees there the rainfall is,usuafy Vele- ms
quate to meet the needs of growing
crops. ; •
Canada is to -day one of the most
fertile countries in the world largely
because of the forest resources. Ac-
cordingly as these resources are de-
pleted sowill the fertility a mt of
Y and,
course,the prosperity css a of the country
P P Y
be affected.The danger of their de-
pletion is not by the demands of com-
merce and industry, but by the, fired,
most of which are caused by some
careless or thoughtless individual. In-
vestigation of the origin of forest
fires' show that nine out of ten fires
started in, the timber limits, are start-
ed by campers, smokers, settlers and
others, who leave a camp fire smolder-
ing, or throw aside a lighted cigarette
or match. The consequence and price
of such carelessness is the heritage of
generations destroyed, with too fre-
quently a loss of human life, besides
a huge wastage of money and a cur-
tailment of industry.
Estimates of the available amount
of coal in the world will need revision,
according to reports from the Belgian
Congo, where two coal deposits `esti-
mated at over one billion tons are re-
ported to have been' discovered. One
