rlarket Commissioner at Winnipeg ' Says
Care Must Be Taken.
A despatch €rorty Toronto says:
Competition for the fruit trade of
Western Canada is so keen that Mr.
James Parnell, Special ' Market
Commissioner at Winnipeg, in a re-
port issued on Thursday, warns On-
tario shippers that only the very
best must be offered if they expect
to control the market. Ontario
fruits are acknowledged to be bet-
ter quality than British Columbia
shimn•ents, but shipments from the
Pacific Province and the western
States show excellent stock, well
graded and packed, which reaches
the market in a splendid oonclition.
Mr. Parnell suggests that prices
far apples are likely to decline.
Good sales are reported in the
country, but city buyers are mak-
ing light purchases in the hope of
cheaper prices later on. "With the
keen competition between east and
west it looks as if the growere will
have to take lower pricee. Ship-
pers shouldexercise great care in
packing their apples, as there is an
extra' staff of inspectors on, who
are examining carefully each ship-
ment, and all shipments should
come up to the 'fruit market act.'
"Many of our Ontario growers
are shipping out fruit that will hold
its own with the best of quality,
pack and condition on arrival. In
other cases, however, too little at-
tention is being paid tograding
and packing, •some varieties of
plums and peaches being shipped
here that will not hold up and are
arriving in bad shape, which has a
tendency to lower the prices of fruit
coming in right."
Mr. Parnellstates that the mar-
ket has been crowded all week .with
foreign fruit, which has caused
quite a drop in prices,
CANADA LOST /PALMA TROPHY
An Accident to One of the Riflemen
the Cause.
A despatch from Ottawa says :
The United States retains the Pal-
ma Trophy, emblematic of interna-
tional -championship in rifle shoot-
ing.
Saturday's match at Rockliffe
Ranges was a hard one for the Ca-
nadians to lose. It was without
doubt the most exciting and evenly
contested team match ever fought
out there and with each team mak-
ing over 1,700 points, the small
margin 'of eight points separated
them, with Canada at the losing
end. It was anybody's match from
start to finish. There was no great
difference between them as on the
Last occasion, when the Americans
ran away with the honors. Sat-
urday the teams were so evenly
matched that the result was decid-
ed by one piece of bad luck which
befell the Canadians. It happened
in the 900 yards range, when Sergt.
Kelly, of the 10th Royal Grena-
diers, Toronto, one of Canada's
very best crack shots, broke, drop-
ping 13 points in one range, and
'helped to convert' Canada's lead
f' (which at the completion of half of
the "shooting at that distance, was
three points) into an American lead
at the end of this range of seven
points.
It happened in this way : The
riflemen in this match are permit-
ted to fire two shots each into the
ground before starting each dis-
tance. While doing this some dirt
flew into Sergt. Kelly's right eye.
In getting it out he irritated the
organ so mush that he decided he
had better protect it with an Orth-
optic. He shot the range with this
orthoptic on and only made 62
points out of 75 and was nine points
below any other Canadian on the
range. It was only then learned
that the orthoptic was badly bent
and had given the wrong perspec-
tive all the time. During the
luncheon hour he gave his eye a
rest and came back in the 1,000
yards with a score of 70 out of 75
and in the 800 had made 73 out of
75. It was, therefore, clear that
his unfortunate accident had at
least cost the Canadians seven or
eight points. ' Without this acci-
dent it is very doubtful who would
have won the match. The final
score was :—United States, 1,720;
Canadians, 1,712.

DROWN IN SHALLOW WATER.
Boys Failed to Swim Thirty Feet
to Shore.
A despatch from Chicago says:
Twelve boy recruits at the United
States Naval Ttraining School in
North Chicago were drowned and
thirteen more are unconscious and
probably will not recover as the
result of their boat being tossed
by a storm on Lake Michigan on
Sunday. With a complement of 29
persous, under command of Chief
Gunner's Mate William Negus, the
boat apparently hit a sand bar
within 30 feet of the shore, and,
although all but one of the 29 on
board could swim, none got ashore
without assistance, and four of
them were only revived by use of
the pulmotor.
• Eye -witnesses of the accident are
unable to explain just what hap-
pened. When the boat, storm
tossed in such a way that most of
the boy soldiers were made seasick,
had made some distance out into
the lake, Negus, who was in com-
mand, decided to return, and when
about 30 feet from the shore, threw
out his anchor. Then, finding
there °was :buts ' enc lyoyr~ eu hoard
Who coitld not • swim, he started
ashore with this youth, in water
which a survivor declares, did ,not
seem to be over his head. Both
disappeared and .neither body was
recovered for several hours.
William Stanley, one of those
saved, said :—"We left the station
about 1.45 in the afternoon. We
were not ordered out, but were
given permission to take the sail.
The water was exceedingly rough
and most of the boys were so new
to water experience that they be-
:oame helplessly seasick after we
had gone perhaps half a mile from
the shore.

A despatch from Montreal says :
Sir Percy Girouard, formerly Gov-
ernor of British East Africa, is in
Canada on a visit. "I am afraid
Our Lady of the Snows is a back
number so far as the popular imagi-
nation is concerned. A great change
has come over opinion abroad in
regard to• Canada," he said in an
interview. "People no longer
think of it as a polar oountry. They
now regard it in the true light, as a
land where there are greater agri-
cultural opportunities than any-
where in the United States, and as
a country with one of the finest cli-
mates in the world."
