The Seaforth News, 1924-09-04, Page 3WORST STORM N YEARS PLAY.. S HAVOC win SHIPPING ON NOVA: SCOTIA COAST Many Boats Missing in. Gale Which Sweeps Maritimes Passengers of Aspy Endure Hardships After Perilous Rescue. A despatch from Halifax, N.S., says: -With sections of the Nova Bee- tle, coast strewn with wreckage; with, 4" asels failing bo reach their destina- tions; with no. hope that the crew, six' all told, of the three -masted schooner; Anna MacDonald, portions of which have come ashore on the lonely Pros : pest Ledges, near here, were alive; with the American cruising yacht;. Shanghai wrecked off White Point Bluff, Canso, but her company heroic- ally and miraculously saved; with the' coastal steamer Aspy wrecked at Neil's Harbor, Gape Breton, but with' her crew and passengers, numbering about 70, rescued, and with a man drowned at Yarmouth when •the schooner Lizzie E. was driven ashore on the Yarmouth bar, it became appar- ent on Thursday that the storm which swept over thie Province Tuesday night took a heavy tall of life and shipping. Not for years has such surf piled up along the ledge.; and shoals and headlands of the Province, dashing its victims to destruction. The schooner Julia If. C., Captain Devons, which was reported abandon- ed and about to become a total wreck near the Bird Rocks, sailed into port just as several craft were about to be despatched in search of her. The Captain stated his crew were dead tired with fighting the storm and were sound asleep in their bunks when hail- ed by the vessel that brought the news of their peril to Sydney and did not hear either hails or whistles. The coastal schooner Lady Thor - burn, Captain M. Pearson, broke her anchor chain and became a complete wreck on the rocks at South L',rdoise. A doapateb from Sydney, N.S., says :-The rescue of the passengers of the coastal steamer Aspy when she struck on Long Point, Neil's Harbor, Cape Breton, Tuesday evening,,. was touch and go, according to details drifting in slowly from the North. The firet boat lowered was smashed by seas against the ship's side and a reef. The" met with more suc- cess. The 23 passengers, incdluding 15 women and children, had a perilous paseage over the boiling surf to a ledge at the foot of the cliffs. With the aid of the Aspy's searchlight, a cove was discovered, and entering this 'the party clambered to the top of the cliff, where they spent the night far from human habitation. With day- , light the seamen in the party found a road, by which all made their way to Neil's Harbor. Captain Yorke and .the mato are still aboard the Aspy awaiting the ar-. rival of other boats of the same fleet, which will attempt to salvage the bag- gage and some of the cargo, The ves- ' sel is split open, her stern is gone, and ;although there are 15 fathoms of water at her bows the middle of the I ship is stuck fast among the rocks. ' . A despatch from Gloucester, Mass., says :-The fishing schooner Dorcas ' was reported swept aground on the coast near here on Thursday night. Her captain was reported to be dead as a result of the accident. Details of the reported wreck were not avail- able. FOUR MONTHS' RECORD. 18,870 CANADIANS Return to Dominion After Spell Across Border Along With 7,005 U.S. Citizens. A despatch from Ottawa says: - During the four months of April, May, Juno and July of this year a total of 64,023 immigrants were admitted to Canada, and du:iig the same period a total of 18,870 Canadians returned to this country from the United States, of which total 16,166 were Canadian - born citizens, 1,046 were British sub- jects who had acquired Canadian domicile, and 1,058 were Canadian citizens (naturalized). This makes an average per month of Canadians returning from the Un- ited States in the first four months of the present fiscal year of 4,717. In April the total of returning Canadians was 4,078; in May, 4,936; in June, 4,720, and in July, 5,127. July's total of immigration into Canada, which was 10,778, was a de- crease of 28 per cent, from the same month last year, while the total of 64.023 for the four months ending July 31 was an increase of 17 per cent. over the corresponding period last year. Of the total for the four months, 33,248 were British, 7,005 were from the United States, and 23,- 770 were from other countries. For July this year 4,789 were British, 1,- 578 were from the United States, and 4,416 from other countries, There has been the usual seasonal falling off of immigration' into Canada during the summer months, entries for April be- ing the high mark, with 19,330, which was an increase of 103 per cent. over the same month in 1923. The first shipment of Manitoba- salted butter was made to England' recently, comprising 99,000 pounds.' After deducting freight charges, two cents per pound, the butter• netted one cent per pound over the local quota- tion for salted butter. Among the, British scientists who are now touring Canada is Prof. 8. S. Muir of Edinburg, Scotland, a famous alpine climber, who is convinced that the British really conquered the peak of Mt. Everest. - 4 Women Detectives to be Em- ployed by Scotland Yard Woman's wiles, wit and charms ver- sus criminal craftiness is a possibility of the future, and the outcome .is ex- pected by Scotland Yard to rope in more crime perpetrators than has been the case recently, says a London de- spatch. Recruiting for the new women's po- lice force is opening shortly, and, from the many applicants, the Criminal In- vestigation Department hopes to get some bobbed• -haired, daintilygowned detectives who will prove more than the equals of the wily jewel thieves and dope traffickers who have hither- to eluded attempts of mere men de- tectives to track them down. The authorities are satisfied that many of the present crimes and rob- beries are engineered by a new set of smart criminals who can only be countered by detectives of the same outward smartness and equal wit. Canada from Coast to Coast Summsrside, P.E.I.-Fox farming Inc continues to be the chief branch of fur farming in Canada, according to a report issued by the Bureau of Statistics. According to the report there were 1,179 fox ranches in opera- tion in 1923, of which number 448 were situated in Princo Edward Is- land, 123 in Nova Scotia, 89 in New Brunswick, 198 in Quebec, 201 in On- tario, 22 in Manitoba, 4 in Saskat- chewan, 44 in Alberta, 29 in British Columbian, and 21 in the Yukon, The revenue derived from the sale of live foxes and pelta totalled $2,159,898 in 1923, compared with $1,526,822 in the Halifax, N.S.-Owing to the contin- ued dry weather the apple crop has been quite heavy, and as a result of the total yield for the Annapolis Val- ley is now estimated at 1,274,744 bar- rels, :which is approximately 70 per cent. of last year's yield. There is practically no injury from ineeot pests, but there le some scab develop- ing, even in some of tho well, sprayed orcharde, St. John, N.B.-New Brunswick and Prince.

The work- will not be completed until January of 1920, by which time it is expected that the mill will bo ready to produce 200 tons of paper a day, . and this amount will gradually be' increased until in 1929, the daily -production will amount to 600 tons.

Winnipeg, Man. -Approximately 60 per cent., or 1,262,604 of the popula- tion of western Canada lived on oc- cupied farms.

A despatch from Toronto says: - Tho golden flood of wheat from the. West for a few weeks each year is apt to blind Easterners to the riches at their own door. The very fact that estimates of the major Western crop vary by millions of bushels with every change in the weather makes the sit- uation spectacular -but at the same time very uncertain. In Ontario, on the, other hand, 200,000 farms are pro- ducing revenue every week in the year. There is no feverish climax, but this steady return over which the weather has relatively little control runs up a tremendous total at the end of the year, exceeding by a third the gross; agricultural revenue from the leading Prairie Province, Saskatchewan. It is almost double the output of Manitoba and Alberta combined - A year ago the total revenue re- ceived by Ontario farmers was esti- mated by the Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics at $400,611,000, compared with $576,470,000 received by their fellow - workers in the three Prairie Provinces. It is impossible to take an accurate in- ventory of agriculture in Ontario at any given time, as the revenue in a mixed farming province depends upon prices of dairy, poultry, and other ani- mal and field crop products on the world markets during 865 days in the year. One is safe in concluding, how- ever, that an increase of from 20 to 30 per cent. in total income should be received by Ontario farmers this year. Grain prices- have risen over 20 per cent. and the crops on the whole prom- ise bigger yields than in 1923. Fall wheat has averaged 27 bushels per acre, oats should run about 85, hay yielded a ton and one-half, potatoes and roots promise the best crop in years, and corn, while late, in the ma- jority of fields should mature safely. Pastures, upon which Ontario's great live stock industry depends during the summer months, have been particular- ly good. Fruit growers expect at least fair returns Markets areeven more encouraging, In every important line, save beef cat- tle, prices are firmer by 5 to 50 per cent. above the low point reached last spring. The demand for farms, al- most non-existent a few months ago, is picking up,with many inquiries from the United States. The labor problem, formerly urgent, has now been largely solved. Field crops should be worth 5250,- 000,000, dairy products at least $100,- 000,000, the sale of farm animals should bring over $40,000,000, the poul try industry will add $26,000,000 to the farmer's income, which should to- tal more than 5450,000,000 for 1924. Ontario is still the banner agricultural province of the Dominion. Church Property in Palestine Claimed by the Soviets As mandatory power for Palestine, Great Britain probably will be called upon soon to decide whether title to the vast properties of the Russian church in this country shall go to the Soviet Government, or to Russian Church interests outside of Russia. The controversy involves hundreds of thousands of dollars of property in Jerusalem and vicinity, as well as in Bethlehem, Nazareth and Haifa, con- sisting of churches, monasteries, hos- pices, parks and other .valuable plots of land, One of the churches is in the Garden, of Getheemane and another on the Mount of Olives. General Ferguson to Succeed Viscount Jellico in N. Zealand A despatch from London 'says:- General Sir Charles Fergusson, who was in command of the British 5th Di- vision`and subsequently of the 2nd and 17th army corps during the Great War, will.. succeed Viscount Jellicoe as Governor-General of New Zealand. Admiral Jellicoe's term expires shortly. Eskimo Chief Dies on Delta of the Mackenzie A despatch from Edmonton says:- Ilavinik, head man of the Eskimos at the mouth of the Mackenzie River, and staunch friend of the governing white race, died on the delta of the Mac- keneie this summer, word of his death having reached Edmonton by travel- lers who arrived from the Arctic circle. Ilavinik, besides hunting and trap ping and trading with a schooner on' the Arctic, was official interpreter for the Mounted Police. He assisted in` the capture of the two Eskimos who were hanged for themurderof Roman' Catholic priests and served as inter- preter in their trial. Coast of Britain to be Guarded by Powerful Seaplanes A despatch from L- ondon says; - Great Britain's coast lino will in tho future bepatrolled and guarded near by powerful seaplanes, now under con- struction for the navy. Each will carry a pilot, navigator, two machine gunners, and a torpedo for launching) at hostile surface craft. Still more powerful planes are being built to make longer flights seaward,) and these will carry five men each. eeeeeeetee j` a�� What hat 1 900 Has Done for 11 The � I Northern Ontario.
