Regina, Sask.-It is estimated that twenty million dollars will be spent on building in the province this year. The ris:ng price of lumber has reduc- ed the margin between temporary and Permanent building, and the increase in brick construction is more appar- ent than ever. Among the buildings to be erected are the briquetting plant at Bienfat, a new jail at Prince Al- bert, normal school at Saskatoon, Q. P.R. depot at.

A despatch from !Ottawa .says:. -4,, The acreage sown to wheat, including.. fall wheat, in all Canada,, is now estat mated et 17,186,300 acres, which earn- pares with 19, 125, 968 acres, the final: estimate for 1919, and represents a. decrease of 10 per cent.

Lord Fisher was born on the is:ard of Ceylon, January 25. 1841, ar._l was the .yen of Captain William Fieher. Of a Highland regiment sta- tioned in the east at the time. He entered the navy when but thirteen rears of age, and was commissioned a lieutenant in 1860. From this time on his rise in the service was con- tinuous. He was married in 1866 to lies Frances Broughton, who died in 1918. He is survived by one son .and three daughters. Britain's Idol. Lord Fisher was for many years a popular idol in Great Britain, enjoy- ing the affection and confidence of every rank of the people. He was known as the "father of the dread- nought," because he was the first to realize the vast power of this type of warship. During his term as First Sea Lord of the Admiralty, from 1904 to 1910, he virtually revolution- ized the navy. He entirely changed the old -established and worn-out stra- TO WN OF BRUSSA. Advance Forces Sweeping Far Past Historic City. A despatch from Smyrna says:— An cfficiai communique issued from Army Headquarters on Thursday says that the advanced guard of the Greek forces has reached a line 15 kilometres beyond Brussa. "We annihilated the enemy en- trenched in the region of Brussa, capturing all his artillery," the state- ment adds. A despaten from Constantinople says:—Major Venizelos, son of the Greek Premier, commanded the artil- lery of the 'Greek forces which re- cently entered Brussa. As the Greeks approached the city the Nationalists waved a white flag, but treacherously killed a Greek who was sent to confer with them. There- upon, Major Venizelos ordered the artillery to open fire,killing many Turks and quieting all opposition, so that the Greek flag was hoisted speed- ily over the Town Hall of the most historic city of the Osmanlis. BATTLESHIP HOOD STILL LEADS Mutsu, Launched in Japan, is Smaller and Less Speedy. A despatch from Yokosuka, Japan. says:—The Japanese battleship Mut- su, recently launched here, is closely comparable with the newest American battleship, the Maryland, launched at Newport News, in March. Both war- ships,. however, are considerably smaller and less speedy than the great British battleship cruiser Hood, launched on the Clyde, in August, 1918. The Hood, on the other hand, is armed with 15 inch guns in her main battery, while the Mutsu and the Maryland will have an equal number of 1G -inch rifles. ,. Manitoba celebrated her fiftieth birthday on July 15. She entered the Confederation in.1870, The anniver- sary was marked by the formal open- ing of the coripleted Provincial Par- liament Buildings.
