RAIDERS DESTROY
IRISH BARRACKS
Explosives Used in Attacks
on Police Depots.
Dublin, May 0. -After an attack
lasting upwards of two'hours, a party
of 200 armed men set fire to the R. I.
C. barracks at Cloyne, County Cork,
on Saturday night, compelled the gare
risen of six men to surrender and
burned the building to the ground.
Three houses close to the barracks
were also burned down. The assail-
ants were armed with rifles, shotguns
and bonibs, the police replying; with
carbines and hand grenades. About
1 raclock in the morning an explosion
occurred which blew in a portion of
the gable erd of the barracks, and
the raiders then inserted explosives
which made the opening wlder. They
tried to enter the building through
the breach, but were prevented b3- the
police, who used hand grenades and
rifles freely.
Finally the attacking party finding
.iliwassi* 4o OVereothe the -resist-
twee' c,f the georison, set the barracks
afire, Whereupon the police 'evacuated
the place.
In preparation for the attack the
roads had been blocked for miles

wires cut,
Another atteek was made by a
gang of armed men early Sunday
limning on the police baeracks at
Newton Hamilton, County Armagh.
The garrison, consisting of a ser-
geant and four constables, put up a
splendid defense. The attackers, after
picketing the loyalist houses in the
locality, attacked the barracks with
rifle fire and. bombs, They captured!
the house next door and bound the)
occupants.

him. The Dublin Papers made no
comment upon his arrival, except the
Irish Times, which said:
"We assume that the new Chief
Secretary will take immediate steps
for the restoration of law and order."
The fact is, however, that Sir Ha -
mar is ignorant of the actual state of
affairs in Ireland, however good his
intentions may be, Dublin generally
believes that, even if matters have
not gone too far for any new regime
to cope with, Sir Hamar cannot move
until he has learned what he is up
aga.inet, and that tuition, it is evident,
will come from the saine permanent
officials and soldiers who directed Ian
Ma cpb ers o 's course.
Despite Sir Hamar's hopes, nobody
in Dublin expects any drastic or en-
lightened change from the old policies,

0- The Executive of the "Triple Al -
Ontario Millers Must Pay In-
crease of 40 Cents.
W.innipeg, May 9. -The Canadian
Wheat Board issued new regulations
effective at midnight, May 8, advanc-
ing the price to mills of all grades of
'Western wheat 85 cents per bushel,
and British Columbia, Ontario and
Quebec wheat 40 cents per bushel.
Another regulation, effective at the
same time, increases the mastimum
prices of bran and shorts to the ex-
tent of $3 per ton.
Canada's Wheat
Will Bring $2.55
A de,spateh from Winnipeg says: -
James Stewart, Chairman of the Cana-
dian Wheat Board, announces that the
value of the participation certificates
will not be less than 40 cents per
bushel. This, with $2,15 already guar-
anteed, will bring the price to $2.55.
United States wheat averaged $2.14.
Many of the farmers believe that the
price will indeed be much higher than
the most optimistic had hoped for, on
account of the abnormal increase in
the price of wheat from the time it
left the farm until it was sold to Euro-
pean buyers.

ALBERTA SEEDING
A MONTH LATE
Feed Situation Improved With
Milder Weather.
A despatch from Edmonton, Alta.,
says: -The first serei-monthly crop
and live stock report issued by the
Department of Agriculture states that
the seeding ia Alberta is from twenty
to thirty days later -by the calendar
than it was last year, varying with
locality. If quick general seeding were
poseible, the prospects are the best in
a dozen years.
There is a depth of from two and
a half to four feet of moist soil over
the driest parts of the Province, and.
the report asserts that -once the seed
is in it has a moisture supply for -
germination and growth- to carry the
crop well into June.
Central Alberta has made Scatte'r-
ed beginnings on dry spots; Peace
River is backward, except along the
valley. The late season is going to
curtail the 'wheat acreage, especially
in the centre and north, but there
are much better prospects for a good
total acreage than people entertain-
ed at one time. The feed situation
has greatly improved since the cattle
and horses have got on open ground.

says: -Seeding will be general in the
Moose Jaw district at the end of the
