ATLANTIC TRAVEL FOOD PRICE DROP
BACK TO NORMAL IN UNITED STATES
Expected That End of October
Will See Close of. Military
Monopoly.
A despatch from Montreal says:—
Indications point to an early ending of
the reciuisition of passenger space for
Government requirements on both the
Canadian and American routes, and
from British ports,
A circular received at the *hits
Star offices advises that third-elass
bookings could now be accepted on the
steamers Lapland and Adriatic, sail-
ing from Southampton to New York,
beginning with the sailing of tho Lap-
land from Southampton, Sept. 160..
This is taken as the beginning of
Me end of war activities, and will open
the way to the resumption of normal
ocean travel, It was stated that tiie
indications are that plenty of space on
all lines will soon be available for
civilian travel, on both the New York
and Canadian lines to British ports.
Probably the end of October will see
the close of the military monopoly of
•passenger service, which has caused
so much dislocation during the past
five years.
CANADIAN AMBULANCES
OVERSEAS BEING SOLD'
A despatch from London says:—
The Canadian Red Cross Society will
cease to exist as an overseas 'organiza-
tion in a few more weeks. The Cana-
dian aanbulancss, which rut 'was first
proposed to return to Canada for
presentation to various hospitals,
were found to have clone such long
service in France that it was eonsider-
ed. advisable to dispose of them here,
and this Is being done. Like other mili-
tary stores, they have realized good'
prices.
Colonel Braylock, (head of the Cana-
dian Red Cross, will shortly retire to
private life amd remain in England,
while Lady Drummond will return to
Montreal eft the end of the month.

lows Government investigation.
A despatch from Washington says:
—Reports to thq Department of Jus-
tice from twelve states indicate that
there has been a decline of 10 to 15
per cent. in food prices since the time
the fair price commissions began their
work. From four states have come're-
porta on wholesale prices indicating
a decline of two to five per cent. Vir-
tually no reanottons in clothing prices
have been noted,
The reports on retail food prices
were said to have been from cities
and counties well distributed through-
out the country, and the information
is believed by officials hero to be a
fair indication of what is going on
everywhere. They think that ,results
now becoming evident will be cumu-
lative as the season advances, new
declines in wholesale prices being re-
flected in retail prices and additional
reductions coming from the campaign
against hoarding and profiteering,

MUST SAIL THIS YEAR
A despatch from London says:—
The Canadian emigration officials are
busily engaged in .soothing the vexed
spirits of the Canadian soldiers and
their wives, who fondly (hoped to spend
their Christmas here and remain till
springtime, but now find themselves
compelled to sail before the end of
the year or sacrifice their free pas-
sage. The hardship of mid-euginiter
crossing is not denied, but it is point-
ed out that but for the Overseas Min-
istry's proclamation the process of re
patriation would have been spun out
manly months longer, to the detriment
of the normal emignatlon business
yvlsuch already has been held up long
enough.

"BEING DEAD YET SPEAKETH.”
The Shade of His Son—"Fight for year rffights, data, by all means—
but don't spoil my work."
RICO t tt DECOR RIES Iii MANITOBA
Sufficient to Pay National "Aebt of 'Canada Several Times Over,
is Opinion OT Experts.
' Two itch' gold strikes, both made
within a fortnight, but in widely sena-
rated fields, have started a rush, of
fortune-hunters to the province of
Manitoba, that recalls the' beginning
of the stampede for the Klondike,
The first was made by an Indian
prospector, Jacob "Cook, a few weeks
ago at Copper Lake, about sixty miles
north of The Pas. The second is the
find of Robert Wachman, a Chicago
salesman, and Gue Larsson, a pros-
pector. It is in the Contact bay region'
in western Ontario, about 200 miles
east of Winnipeg.
Cook made his find by literally
stumbling upon it, Wh11Q on
his way to his cabin along the shores
of Copper Lake he tripped and fell
over a rusty spur of quartz jutting up
from the ground. Impelled by anger
more than curiosity, he streak the
spur with his pick and uncovered evi-
dence of gold, Within a few minutes
he had opened up a pay streak four
inches wide and several -feet deep--
a
eep—a pay streak that airady is,00lloquiai-
ly known as "The Golden Sidewalk,"
Copper Lake is east of Lake Atha-
papuskow,' in 'the Cranberry lakes
region, and about fifty miles east from
the great sulphide mines, Flinflon,
Sehtst Lake and Mandy, operated by
the Guggenheim interest's, It is about
the' center of the great mineral belt--
that
elt*that extends from beyond the eastern
boundary of Saskatchewan across the
vast stretches of northern Manitoba
far into Ontario. Every known metal,
from Iron to platinum, has been found
at various places in that belt and a
dozen or'more:rlch mines are in opera-
tion, among which the best known are
at Cobalt, Ont:; Rice Lake, Man.;
and The Pas.
Subsequent prospecting revealed
that the width or .the large ore body
varies teem ten to thirty feet and is
continuous on the surface for about
1,400 feet. To the southwest and
northeast of the main exposure the
lode has been uncovered, Taking for
granted that the lode is 'the sante and
continuous, it would have a length of
two miles, Thehlgh-grade gold occurs
in a vein paralleling the main' ore
body at a distance of about 1,200 feet
to the southwest. This vein 15 ex
posed for about 300 feet and consists
of a schistecl zone about four feet
wide. At the point of discovery the
quartz is eighteen inches wide and
from the quartz wall to the gangue
consists 01 quartz stringers and sheets
of schist. At the bottom of a five-foot
pit the hlgbrgrade ore is about six
inches wide, -while on the surface it
was from three to four metres wide.
Assays of the quartz to either side of
the 111711 grede.ore give $10 in gold to
the ton,
Wachenaa's was a stroke of .good
fortune thatsurpassed his fondest ex-
pectations. He had come to the wilds
of western Ontario to spend a vacation
fishing and hunting. By chance he
met Larsson, a veteran prospector,
who induced him to lay down his fish -
pole and gun and take up a pick "For
exercise," Wachman Rad been oxer-
,tieing only two days when he struck
a vein of gold that assayed at a high
rate, although its extent has not been
determined.
The vastness of the country may be
illustrated by the statement of one of
the old-time prospectors, that if 10,000
prospectors started in different direc-
tions front The Pas they could be out
for months in the mineral belt without
anyone creasing another's path.
Beneath the moss and muskeg of
northern Manitoba lie riches sufficient
to pay the national debt of Canada
many times over, is the opinion of
Frank Moore, mining expert and pion-
eer prospector, of Winnipeg, who
staked the Rex and several other
mines in the Rice Lake region.
The building of the smelter and the
construction of railway lines into dis-
tricts •known- to be rich in minerals
are matters only of time.
BRITISH WOMEN
EAGER. TOEMICRATE
Munitionettes Clamoring For
Chance to Settle Abroad.
despatch from London says:
There is going to be a big spurt In
emigration as soon as the shipping
situation In Great Britain becomes
easier, Demobilized women workers
who cannot find employment to their
taste at home are clamoring for facili-
ties to go abroad—especially to the
overseas dominions.
War work has unsettled enormous
numbers of women who had previous-
ly been content, to apply themselves
to domestic duties, and the result Is
that the taste for adventure Is attract-
ing them to new and unknown spheres
of effort, The Overseas Settlement
Department is helping ex -service woe
men as well as men with free pass-
ages, but only such as have the quali-
fications demanded by the dominions
will be aesisted in this way.
Munition workers have been particu-
larly eager to avail themselves of this
offer, but oddly enough, this is one of
the classes to which it does not apply.
CANNED SALMON
AT 18c PER POUND
A. despatch from Ottawla says':—
The IOIsherlos Branch of the Depart-
ment of Naval Service has arranged
with producers on the Pacific Coast to
sell canned chum salmon in Canada at
prices that will enable It to be retailed
anywhere in the Dominion, as far east
as Montreal inclusive, at 18 cents a
pound can or two cans for 85 cents,
At these prices, it is estimated, 18
cents' worth of chum salmon will sup-
ply as much body building material
as 54 cents spent on beefsteak, 56
cents on a log of Iam1b, or 68 cents
spent on, pork chops. Chum salmon
is light in color.
VICTORY LOAN CAMPAIGN

Q EE PS HOME
A FACTORY
House in Which Victoria Lived
Now Motor Building Plant.
A despatch from London says:—
Townley House, in Ramsgate, situated
in one of the prettiest parts•of Eng-
land, where Queen Victoria lived as a
girl with her mother, the Duchess of
Kent, is to become headquarters of a
motor carriage building company, by
whom it has been adiuired.
The beautiful old elms that digni-
fied the grounds are being felled to
provide carriage bodies, while the
house itself is being converted into a
home for employees.
CORRECT NAME IS
GENERAL "CURRY"
A despatch from London, Ont.,
says:—War correspondents and all
others notwithstanding, the correct
name of the Commander of Canada's
Army Corps is "Sir Arthur W. Curry,"
according to a definite statement made
by officials of Middlesex county.
A few days . ago the General was
made the recipient of a $500 chest of
silver, on which was engraved the
name "Curry." Fretful persons, great-
ly disturbed, rushed to see what could
be done to remedy the supposed en-
graver's error, but Warden John
Curry, brother of the General, set
their fears at rest. He stated that iihe
family name had been eorreetly spel-
led, and indicated that the General
had simply lob the other go by default
during the war as not worth bother-
ing about.

CEREMONY AT OYSTER BEDS
Quaint Ritual, 1,000 Years Old, Opens
1919 Season at Colchester.
The Colchester oyster fishery hat
been formally opened with the usual
quaint c'tremony, says a London des.
patch. The mayor of the corporation
traversed the fishery grounds in a
dredger and made the first haul of
oysters which proved to be of excel-
lent quality. The mayor and the cor-
poration then consumed gingerbread,
a custom that ha.s prevailed since the
fishery was first opened under royal
charter in the reign of Richard T.
More than a thousand years ago,
when Roman soldiers were sitting on
that spot opening oysters with their
swords, the East Saxons so appreciat-
ed the Colchester fishery that they
took three oyster knives as their
arms and this device still forms the
arms of the county of Essex.
GoodReasons For Good Roads,
The way' to make prosperity flow
into any locality is to build roads that
will last and not have to be done over
every few years.
With good roads farmers can deliver
all their products direct to towns'
within a radius of fifty miles or more,
and by making more profit themselves
they reduce the high cost of living for
other people; for merchants are able
to take advantage of new sources or
supply to buy their stocks under favor.
able conditions, and sell them to their
customers at a lower price.
Millions of dollars are lost every
year through perishable goods spoil-
ing on the railroads because of the
freight delays and complicatione.
Single large iirms have actually saved
more than 3100,000 yearly by using
motor trucks; and the tracks will un-
doubtedly contribute largely to organ-
ize improvement of roads.
Good roads bring trade and increase
property values in a community. They
attract homeseekers and industries.
