TWELVE DEATHS FROM HEAT IN UNITED STATES People Fall in Their Tracks in Steaming Streets of New York. A despatch from New York says New York mopped a red face on Thursday, as the heat wave swept the entire country, forcing the closing of. some mills in New Eegland. There was no sign of a let-up while the mercury hit the high spots and pepple fell in their tracks in the steaming streets. Tho usually beneficent sun became an evil thing. Old Sol hung over the sluggish city, hardly moved by the light southwest breeze. Folks peeled their , coats. Babies squalled in hot tenements and gasped for air. The subways reeked. Many persons were prostrated in the metropolitan district. Six were killed and three were injured, the heat being indirectly blamable for the ac- cidents, This brought the tally for the dura- tion of the heat wave so far to twelve killed, five in the city itself. The mercury reached 93 degrees here by 8 o'clock. This is the high mark for the season. Reports indicated that the only cool spots in the United States were in the far West. In some parts of the South it was cooler than in New York in the early -morning hours. It was 76 in Pensacola and Jacksonville, Fla., at 8 o'clock, while in this city at that hour the thermometer registered 78. Beyond the Mississippi, electric and wind storms came with the heat, took heavy toll of life and caused large property damage. The highest tom- perature recorded in the morning hours was 82, at Key West, Fla., and the lowest 36, at Boise, Idaho. While Washington was sweltering, with the official thermometer at 99 degrees, a water famine was threaten- ed. Citizens have been warned against using a cooling hose or trying to wet their lawns down to dissipate the heat of the sun. At Hamilton Ohio,Lloyd Russell' Y became crazed from extreme heat dur- I ing the night and sbot to death eight' persons ---his mother, brother, sister -1 in-Iaw and her five children. Neighbors called police to the Rus -1 Bell home, and there they found the eight bodies strewn through various, rooms of the house, and Russell with i an apparently self-infif:ted gunshot: wound in his cheat. I o i Arabian 140 Years Old Says He Saw Napoleon FATE OF AMUNDSEN PARTY STILL IN DOUBT Norwegian Government Dis- patching Relief Expedition of Two Naval Scout Seaplanes. A despatch from Oslo, Norway, says: -A fortnight has passed since Captain Roald Amundsen with his five companions disaprreared into the Arctic wastes in their quest for the North Pole, and the mystery of their whereabouts is still unsolved. Amundsen is understood to have left with Captain Hagerup, of the steamer Farm, sealed instruction, to be opened a fortnight after his depar- ture. What these contain has not been divulged. Meanwhile, the Norwegian Government, at the request of the Aero Club, which promoted Amund- sen's flight, is despatching on Satur- day two naval scout soaplanee by the 4,700 -ton steamer Ingertre, placed at the Government's disposal by the Great Norwegian Coal Company of Spitzberggn. The Ingortre, it is expected, will arrive about mid-June at King's Bay, where the seaplanes will be unloaded and flown to Wellman Bay, Dane Is- land, to connect with the Farm and Hobby, and will then begin immediate- ly a systematic search of the ice edge along about the 81st degree of lat. titude. Sovereign Recognizes Humble Life -Saver A despatch from London says: - Tuesday's list of King's Birthday hon -i ors contained the name of B. W. Tib -1 ble, who was awarded the Order of the British Empire, "for public ser- vices in saving life." Lord Knutsford,; Chairman of the London Hospital, has disclosed the nature of these public{ services. Tibble some time ago in -1 formed the London Hospital author -i ities that he was prepared at a mo-! ment's notice to give a pint of his blood to save a patient's life. Since then he has on 44 occasions given a pint of blood. The usual fee for each transfusion is five guineas, but Tibble always refused to take payment for, his services. The Governors of the hospital therefore elected him a life Governor in recognition of his un- selfishness. Gold Stampeders Suffer Lacking Food and Supplies Stampeders to new gold diggings in the Cassiar County of northern Brit- ish Columbia are suffering under se- vere privations, according to a des- patch from F. J. Cotter, a sourdough • f poet and miner, published by "The Post-Intelligencer." The despatch, which came from Telegraph Creek, B.C. said: "No supplies or equipment are on the ground, but it is believed the con- dition will be relieved when a pack train completes the 102 -mile trip from here. The Hudson's Bay Co. 1 sent a five -ton tractor loaded with supplies to Dease Lake last week, and the Dickinson's Mining Co.'s tractor ;with a trailer and a crew of twelve !men lefteMay 29. i "There is much snow still in the hills end the streams are running up to the banks." A despatch from London says: --1 - ,There is one man living who claims to have seen Napoleon Bonaparte. 1 Members of the Royal Geographic Society were told of him by H. B.

The Natural Resource Intelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior at Ottawa says: In 1923 them were thirty-two thou- sand men working in the sawmill and , pulp and paper mills in Canada. In this work they earned seventy-two-- million dollars. The mills and timber limits, with their' equipment repre- sented an investment of nearly six hundred million dollars. This might with justice be termed big business. Canada has a variety of such large organizations,` and they are the back- bone of the manufacturing life of this sentry. Think for a moment, however, of what . these large industries • mean. Canada's` virgin natural resources are being 'developed. Her forests are be- ing utilized in building ,up Canadian industry and commerce, and this is as it should be. In providing work for these 32,000 men the Roosts were pro- viding wages that enabled them to purchase the necessaries and some of. the luxuries of life. The development of the forests thus made itself felt in providing work for the factory work- er who produced the foods which the forest worker required. The latter, also, was a consumer of foodstuffs, • and the wages earned from forest de- velopment reached the farmer who produced the grain and meat supplies that the forest worker required. The farmer is thus interested in'forest de- velepment. To' follow this interest in the fitest to its logical conclusion we would of necessity have to include every trade, every industry, every business, every profession and the workers 'therein, because none is exempt from a conrec- tioneolirect or indirect, with Canada's forest development. With a population ss closely allied to forest interests, it would appear to be the duty of every Canadian to see that the forests are protected from da` stcuction by fire, Oats, Can. west.,; No. 2, 73c; Can. west., No. 3, 660; extra No. 1 feed, 64c. - Flour, Man. spring wheat pats., Solution of Last week's mizzie. firsts, "$10.40; seconds, $9.90; strong bakers', $9.70; winter pats., choice, $7.30 to $7.50.
