Destroyed,
•
A despatch from Cobalt, Ont„
says:—The fire is still burning, but
slowly, in Gowganda, according to Ube
.latest advice;' however, much of the
dan=ger is passed and, if the wind does
not change, there is a good chance of
the flee dyilrg out. The report that
the Big Four mining plant had been
completely ' destroyed is confirmed,
but it is learned that the O'Brien
mine power line had survived, but
was in danger on Thursday as there
was a fire burning not- far from the
O'Brien plant. The T. C. mine 'op-
posite the Big Four, lost a huge am-
ount of wood used in their plant, and
the Silverado and Bonsall will be in
danger if the wind changes. It has
been a hard battle and every worker
-and visitor in the camp turned out to
help keep the fires from the mines.
Cobalt presented an unnatural ap
pearance owing to the dense clouds of
smoke passingbetween the bright sun..
Cinders and leaves are falling as a
terrific fire has again sprung up at
Clear Lake west of here. As yet no
settlers are in danger and the only
sufferers are Cobalters from smarting
eyes, so thick is- the smoke.
A- perusal of weather statistics
show this spring to be the North's
driest in 27 years, less than half an
inch of raid having fallen since Macy
first, The driest spring previously
was in 1914, when three quarters. of
-an inch of rain dell, but the period of
drought was much shorter.
The outlook now is that the North
will have practically no crop. When
the bush, sheltered as it is, is so dry
•as to slake excellent fire tinder, the
conditions of the crops in the open
fields can be judged.
SUGAR PROFITEERS
TO BE USTED
Board of "Commerce tri Pub-
lish Names of Indictable
Persons.
A despatch from Ottawa says:—The
Board of Commerce proposes at an
early date to issue a list of persons
and: firms liable to indictment for
sugar profiteering. The list contains
the names of retailers and whole-
salers,'who are scattered in many
parts of Canada, chiefly in Ontario
and Quebec,
Whether prosecution will follow:
depends upon the action gO the Attor-
ney -General in each of the Provinces,
These officials will be furnished with
particulars of the profiteering alleged
by the' board, and it is up to them to
indict the Offenders finder the Crim-
inal Code as provided for in the Com-
bines and Pair Prices Act.

A Telepone .seer r
Apparently. of its. own accord, a
rural telephone fine in a remote dig-
trlet of Colorado went on etches far a
sixteen -hoar working dey, During
the daylight hours the, line .worked
perfectly, but between nine and ten
every night something happened and
the telephones would not work until
morning. Finally the manager and a
l,neman started on a nocturnal trouble
hunt,
Earl in the morning they reached
Early g
the last house en the line and were
admitted by the aged occupant.. Con-
spicuous on the top of the wall tele-
phone were his metal -rimmed epee-
tacles that rested in electrical contact
across the terminals, where it was his
habit to leave them every night. The
inyetery,was solved. •
The Raising of Sheep.
-In introducing the estimates for his
department to the House. of Commons
the %Ion, Dr, Tolmie, Dominion Min-
ister of Agriculture, pointed to the
fact that in Australiathereare no
fewer. than 80,000,000 sheep, in the
United States 40,000,000, in Great
Britain 27,000,000, and in Canada only
3,500,000. As shown in The Agricul-
tural Gazette of Canada for May, ef-
forts are being made in all the prov-
inces to remedy this state of things.
That is to say, encouragement is' being
given to the raising of sheep in a
variety of ways,—by pure -bred -rams
being distributed or sold on easy
terms; by the holding of competitions,
at which generous prizes are given for
the best ewes and for the best flocks,
by obtaining the highest price for
wool through the Departments and
through the Canadian Co-operative
Wool Growers' Association; by organ-
ized sheep sales and, as in Ontario in
particular, by placing flocks on a share
basis. Amended legislation has also
been passed for the protection of
sheep from deed. As a .sample of the
good work that is being performed it
might ,,be :mentioned .that in .Saskat-
chatean in the last four years -the
amount of wool consigned to the co-
operative brunch of the Provincial De-
pnrtment cof Agriculture increased
from 179 consignments, weighing 60,-
404 Pounds, for which the average
,pride realized was 17%c, to 916 con-
signments, weighing 394,068 pounds;
at an average price of G13'ec per
pound, The articles in The Gazette
would imply that what has been done
in Saskatchewan is also -being accom-I
plished in the other provinces of the
Dominion,
Imperial War Museum
Opened by King George
A despatch from London says: In
the opening on Wednesday of the Lo-
perial War Museum by King George„
the Crystal Palace regained for one'
day at least, a measure of its glory,
of forty years back. The museum re-
mains open until next October and
comprises military and naval exhibits!
from every quarter of the war. I
The King expressed thanks to the!
Allied Governments and the Deirdre -
ions for their assistance in the pro -t
jest.
"This museum will ever preserve,
continued his Majesty, "to the neem -1
ory of future ages that we owe under
God, ttur success; not to armed forces
alone, but to the .labors anti sacrifices
of soldiers, civilians, both men and
woinen, alike."

Wireless on Same Basis

A despatch from -Paris says:—
France will be the first country in the
wend to place wireless on the seine
basis as the telephone, according to
plans announced by Munster of Posts
Deschamps, Under tho scheme out-
lined, a chain of wireless stations
throughout the country would replace

the most beneficial part of the plan

livestock by the co-ereinated , efforts
of Dominion -and P0ovinciel Govern-
nients, farmers and packers,
The public has, within the lad few
years, been' awakened to the enpriilous
loss of human life, shown to be a
greater mortality than that of war,
resulting from tubercular d seaso. Yet
the transmission of tuberculosis from
farm preclude to humans has never
received from the public a thousandth
part of the attention it - demands.
Physicians have fought the disease in
every thinkable way except one. Clin-
ics have been opened in large centres
throughout the world; expensive sani-
for:a have - been •'built; preventive
treatment hes been widely taught
through nursing institutes and even
the public schools. None of these,
however, has struck so radically at
the'root cause of the human disease—
the presence o£ tuberculosis in dom-
estic livestock—as the new movement
to eradicate disease from among farm
animals," If for this feature of 110-
'tional health and the preservation of
human life alone the movenhenit Claims

tarian hope for the mass of the pan-
' i An encouraging beginning has been
made. A definite plan of work has
ben framed to co-ordinate the eii'orts
to combat disease in animals, It will
be plain to -farmers and stockmen that
better prices will follow the raising of
better stock—better' because healthier,
more robust animals which will feed
well and make heavier weights in re-
turn fox the expenditure of feed and
labor,
