r4 THE WAR SITUATION.
For m week past there has been au
embargo on all other than official news'
from the western front: The reason
of this can only be surmised, but if
former embargoes of thie nature Jena
for anything it meansthat General
Haig is preparing another t-remendu-
ous offensive which will give him com-
mand of all the ridge or co.. • din,
positiens that separate the ow ',Brit-
ish front from the plaire of Flanders.
Since the great British advance
Thurada.y it there has been steady
fighting and although not so spectacu-
lar as the great drives, it has, never
the less, been equally important. The
Germans have launched counter-at-
tack after canter -attack in a deter-
mined ottennet to item the proms& of
the British troops, but aside from the
Ives of thousando of their men in these
filUoks, they have been able to act
complish nothing in their endeavors.
The British already hold the greater
part of thd ridge and if they can gain
possession of the balanee they will be
enabled toireach the Lille -Ostend rail-
eiray, now only six miles away, • by
which the Germans transport the
greater part of their munitions and
suppliea into Belgitun, thus forcing
the emeray into a far reaching retire-
ment. On the other hand if the Ger-
mans car prevent the British from
any further advance at thiii tune, the
rainy season and winter will seen be on
hand -which will put an effectual step»
to any serious operations until the
following spring, and the fighting will
*gain assume the old trench struggle.
The result is all important to. Ger-
many and she realized that fa& and is
fighting wifh a determination that
hag not characterized her troops or
many months. So far, fortunate y,
her efforts have been. vain and are
likely to continue so. Despatches
steep that in the line and in the rest
" billets, every place where there is a
British soldier, he says and looks it,
that he is the master. On the French
front at Verdun the enemy have also
been making pereistent attempts to
assume the offensive; not with the Ire
ject or any hope of taking that city,
but in an endeavor to stop the French
advence and if possible to retake the
positions taken by the Frelich last
week. But in this, as on the British
front they have not been sucessful. It
is true, that at several points . they
have succeeded inpenetrating the
French front rine, but in every case a
counter-attack has immediately driv-
en thern out again with very severe
losses. ,
in Mesopotamia this week General
,Made and his British army gained
one of the most complete victories of
the war when at the battle of Raman -
di e he took the Turkish army com-
pletely by eurpriseiand utterly routed
them, capturing over 4,000 prisoners,
including. the Turish general and his
staff, and immense quantities of muni-
tions and other war booty.
Despatches from Rome indicate
that another Italian drive is imminent.
The French and British have sent ad-
ditional. warships into the Adriatic
and it is expected that Italian troops
will soon strike at Trieste in a com-
bined land and, sea attack aided by
the Allieei naval forces. The Aus-
trians, semn fully realize the im-
portance of the preparations made a-
gainst, theme and are, withdrawing
large numbers of troeps from the Rus-
sian and other other eastern fronts in
an endeavor to halt the Italian ad-
vance. The Italians however, are
giving the enemy no rest and it is con-
fidently expected that Italy will be in
Triest before winter. .
Almost every night for a week past
the Germans have been carrying oat
air raids over England. On Satur-
day, Sunday and Monday nights the
attempts were particularly vicious.
On Monday night four different
groups attempted to reach London.
_The British anti-aircraft guns- and de-
fences have so greatly improved, how.
ever, that only two enemy aiirmen, on
this occasion were able to reach the
outskirts of the eity end these did no
nratical. damage. The British defen-
Five guns are now's° arranged that
they can place a barrier' of shells a-
cross any part of the sky through
which enemy airmen attempt to ap-
proach. This fire is -Very much like
the barrage fire used by the artillery
on land which is laid down in front Of
the advancing troops, and was so well
placed and so effective, that the Ger-
man airmen could not penetrate it, al-
thmegh they tried repeatedly. The
tetal casualty list for the week in
theae raids has not yet been given,
but it is not expected to be heavy, not-
withstanding that some of the attacks
lased over an hour. Little • exhite-
raent and no panic was evidenced in
London \during noT Of these raids. The
ilea* had. ample Warning and innned-
lately sought shelter, leaving the
streets practically empty. In fact AO
We excitement velie there that in
many cases the theatres continued
their performances as if nothing ini-
tial was happening.

Mr. Alair will be much missed in this
community where he had lived so long,
and was a good neighbor and an affec-
tionate husband and father.
Notes .-The Bible Society meeting

in every way but attendance. Those
who made the effort and Were present

am writing you a few more lines, giv-
ing you a little more of my experience
along the way. I think I told you
about the Shasta Mountain, which can
be seen for fifty mires along the
Shasta Valley on our way to Portland,
the valley which is quite extensive in
some Palces and densely planted with
prune trees and peach orchards,. es-
pecially the prune: When ripe, they
are pulled and sorted as to quality and
spread in crates, very much like the
onion crates. Then shallow gates
are spread out in rows for the prunes
to sun dry. The weather is so fav-
orable for this industry, as little or no
rain falls or six months during the
summer, so you can frequently see a
field covered with prune crates which
are petfectly black, and at a little dis-
tance looks like a plowed field. I
think this is the home of most of the
prunes you will find in our grocery
stores in Ontario. Portland is a -fine
city of lovely parks and public buil&
ings. Leaving Portland we take the
Southern Pacidc Railway, passing
through the Santa Lowes Mountains,
we come to the Shasta Springs. The
train stops for fifteen minutes for
passengers to view the springs and
taste the water -real soda water. This
water is bottled and sold for mineral
water. It is a lovely sight to see the
water in several places tumbling down

Mountains and hearing San Lois Obis-
po we come to the oil fields. Here a
perfect forest of ol derricks is in
sight, even on the sandy beach of the
sea. When it is high tide sonic of
these ,derricks are five feet in the wa-
ter. From here we travel for fifty
miles to Santa Barbara along the sea-
shore. Leaving Santa Barbara we
have a short run of 104 mites to Los
.Angeles. This- is one of the loveliest
and the wealthiest cities on. the Pa-
cific. It is a city of 550,000 people.
Passadena, .a suburb of the city
more millionaires reside than in any
other city of the 'United States.- To
say that it is beautiful, is putting it
very mildly, but time will not permit,
me to describe it further. Santa Mon-
ica, -Long Beach and Venus are either
suburbs of the city. These are sum-
mer resorts or watering places, and is
a perfect midway of sports and pleas-.
ures. Leaving Lim Angeles, we take'
the Salt Lake route to Salt Lake City.
This route psis' through the' Mogara
Desert for 500- Miles. This desert
varies in width from two to ten miles.
Little orenp vegetation is seen in this
valley except sagebrushand the wild
palm called the Yocka Palm. These
pains are from five to eight feet high
and belong to the cactue family. The
railway skirts the bottom of the
Mountains,frequeptly passing through
short tunnels. This is an old mining
district. Away backin the sixties
these mines were flourishing and
many men were made wealthy. But
like other industries, there caxne a de-
pression, the ore of gold, silver and
copper and nickel was so low and the
miaes not yielding so well that many
of them closed down, and some towns
of seven and eight hundred were com-
pletely deserted. Salooas, boarding-
houses and mining camps were all
empty, leaving behind all household
effects such as pianos, organs, furni-
ture, pool and gambling tables were
all left behind as the cost of transp'or-
teflon was more than the articles were
worth, as no railway passed though
this place in those days, the present
road, being- built, about eleven years
'ago. Since the war began the silver
and copper and nickel ore has more
than doubled hi value so that many of
these mines have been reorganized,
and are at work again and with rail-
way faeilities the cost' Of transporta-
tion has bedtime much less; Near

Montreal, October 2.1. --At the Mon-
treal stock yards, west -end market,
one of the strong features of the
trade was the stronger feeling which
developed in the market for bulls for
canning purposes. Prices for them
scored an advance of 25 to 40c per 100
lbs., which was attributed to the keen
competition. between packers, for this
class of stock. An active trade Was
done at $6.40 to $6,50 per cwt.' There
was. ace change in prices for canning
cows, but they were firm at $5 to
$5 .2 per cwt. Another -feature of the
market was the Weaker feeling which
prevailed in butchers' COWS and trails.

he New Rubbers
Are Here
With, the rainy season close at hand, wouldn't it be & wise pre-
caution to be prepared by investing in a pair of Good Rubbers? The
cost of a pair of Rubbers is trifling compared with the protection you
get from wet feet, colds and possibly serious illness.
Then again, by wearing Rubbers, you save Shoe Leather which is
a consideration these days. Our new Fall Rubbers are now here in all
styles and. shapes to fit any style and shape of shee. We offer our
'customers nothing but First Quality Rubbers -the best wearing, the
neatest -fitting rubbers mads rn Canada. Our mends and Women's
Fine Rubbers have the red rubber heel and the heels are doubly re-
inforced to prevent beealdng down. Our School Rubbers have heavy
soles and re-inforced heels -which means longer webr.
The prices here mentioned are for First Quality Rubbers only:

Prices for the former deelined 25e per
cwt. and for the latter 25e to 50c
There was no change in prices for
steers, owing to the fact that supplies
were somewhat limited, but the trade
in. all grades of butchers' cattle was
rather slow, as buyers generally did
not seem disposed to operate freely,
and sales were principally in small
lots to meet immediate dates. '
A weaker feeling developed in the
nierket for sheep and lambsm-Prices
deelined 50c per 100 lbs., due to the
falling off in demand from both local
and. American buyers and the contin-
ued large offeringe; The trade was
slow even at this reduction and quite
a few were left over unsold at the
close of the market. Ontario lambs
sold at $14.50 to $14.75, and Que-
bec at $13.50 to *14 per ewt.
In spite of the strength which de-
veloped in the live hog situation at the
end of last week, and the fact that
prices scored a sharp advance at oth-
er Canadian centres, with sales of se-
lected lots at *19 per cwt, weighed off
cars, there was no boom in the local
market toy. Prices advanced only
25 cents per 100 pounds, and packers
-claimed to be getting all they wanted
for immediate shipments. Sales of
selected lots were made at $18,
$1.8.50;" and rough, heavy stock at
*17.50 to $17.75, while sows sold at
$15 to $15.50, and stags at $14 to
$14.50 per ewtweighed off cars.

Union Stock Yards, Toronto, Octo-
ber 2. -Poor quality Eastern cattle
bulked largely in a heavy offering
this morning, when trade for good to
chime quahty butchers was active at
values steady to strong compared with
last week's close. Commission men
quoted heavy export steers from
$11.50 to $12.60, but this class , of
cattle was but sparsely represented.
One load sold at $11,50: choice but-
chers, which were the first to be sent
over the scales cashed in from $10 to
$10.65 and good killers were altuost
equally active from $9.50 to $9.85.
There was also a fair market for
medium butchers, but the common
Eastern cattle were none too daiy to
dispose of. Good to thoice fat cows
and best bulls were also in demand.
and 4t the eose everything had been
cleaned up that possessed any semb-
lance of quality.
Stockers and feeders were only a
moderate but steady trade, and there
was not any marked de/nand for milk -
ere and springers with $5 off last
week's opening prices.
Lambs were steady- to a shade firm-
er, best lambs selling from $15.50 to
$15.65. Sheep and calves were steady
and in demand.
During the week -end shipments of
"%NNW
1 hogs direct to the packing
while not liberal, had been above the
average, yet for fairly large offering
'in the pens this morning the packer-
, buyers had to pay ;19 fed and water
