Canada's foreign trade continues to
grow apace, For the four months end -
g October 31 it jumped no less than
22,000,000 over the same period last
)year, the relative figures being $$157,230,-
992 in 1002 and $179.256.645 in 1903. The
total imports were 585.652,255, showing
t increase of $15,918,713. Of this sum
ports of free goods amounted to near -
y elk ,half. As these consist of raw
u. r �.
Materials for factories, it indicates a
brisk c:oud.ition of manufacturing. Tho
increase in exports included a growth of
over a million in products of the mine,
two millions in animals, and their pro-
ducte, and aver a quarter of a
milhonxin manufactures. These figures
show very clearly that there is no ebb in
Canada's tide of prosperity.

MEDICAL HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT.
To the Chairman and Members of Board
of Health.
Geutlemen-I beg to submit the fol -
]owing as my report: I am pleased to
inform you that the health of our citi-
zens is exceptionally good. There are
no infectious diseases at present in our
municipality.
All nuisances which were reported
during the year were properly and
promptly attended. 6 cases of diphtheria,
10 of scarlet fever and 60 of measles
were reported during the year. One
case of diphtheria ended fatally. Disin-
fection and isolation were carried out
reasonably well. There were also 3
deaths from consumption. Great efforts
aro being made thoronghont the civil-
ized world to lessen the ravages and fin-
ally stamp ont this dread disease.
Greater success is obtained from pre-
ventiug its inception than by caring the
disease when once established.
I would like to suggest that literature
in concice pamphlet form be disseminat-
ed through homes of our citizens whore
suberculosis exists. By this means
they would receive instruction of the
communicable nature of the disease also
showing them the proper disposal of
sputum and as a further prevention,
how to properly dissinfeot dwellings and
especially rooms occupied by patient.
There were 22 deaths in all during the
year. 12 over fifty years of age and 6
over eighty. This would make a death
rate of about 11 per thousand which is a
remarkably good showing as the death
rate thoronghont the province this year
will be at least 16.5 per thousand:
Respectfully submitted,
DR. T. E. OASE,
Medical Health Officer.

ficial of the United States Steel

tion will affect about 150,000 work-
men. The remaining ten per cent. of
the employes are under a wage
agreement. Tho financial committee
of the Steel Cori oration, it is un-
derstood, has under consideration the
dismissal of many high salaried em-
ployes in addition to those already
discharged. It was asserted that,

ing plan will in the coating month re-
ceive a five per cent. dividend on the
preferred stock. to which they sub-
scribed at $2,50.

PARCEL POST AGREEMENT.
17.5• Not Likely to Enter Into Arrange-
ment With Canada.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 15. -Ca-
nadians are protesting to the Post -
office Department against the refusal
of the United States to enter into a
parcel post agreement with Canada,
but it is not likely that their pro-
tests will produce fruit. The United
States service is not equipped for
handling parcels, and should this
country enter into the treaty desired
by Canada business would be trans-
acted at a decided loss.
Capt. Brooks, superintendent of
foreign mails, said: "The United
States has constantly refused to en-
ter into parcel post treaties by which
it will have to transport across and
outside of its territory mail of other
countries.
If we made the treaty desired by
Canada it would handicap the mail
service of this country, and we
would have to make the same ar-
rangement with others. We are not
equipped for parcel post business as
are some of the countries of Europe,
and do not handle packages weighing
more than four pounds, while in
Europe, eleven pounds is the usual
weight, and some countries carry
packages weighing considerably
more."
In Peril in the Ice.
Toronto, Dec. 15. -Two perilous
incidents occurred in the bay between
the mainland and the shore of the
island yesterday. In the first, two
men in a small boat were caught in
the ice, but were gallantly rescued
by Harry Stubbs and Fireman Deans,
who went to their rescue in dinghies.
It took from two till ,five ,to effect
their rescue. Later, mea working for
the Perry Company, eight in all,
were similarly caught, but the ex-
ample of a Frenehnian in the party
who crawled over to shore on the
paddle, while lying on itis stomach,
was followed with variations and they
all reached shore in three hours. In
each case the men nearly perished
with cold.

London, Dec. 14, -Sir Frederick
Bcrden gives the C.A.P. leave to an-
nounce the result of his mission as
follows:
1, There will be no restriction or
limitation in future in the selection
of an officer to command the Cana-
dian militia.
2. The date of appointment con-
trols the precedence between an offi-
cer
fficer of the Imperial army and of the
Canadian militia.
3. All reference to the position of
the officer commanding at Halifax is
omitted.
4. Increased facilities for educa-
tional purposes at the staff college,
etc., will be given to all branches of
the Canadian militia in exchange for
staff appointments between the two
military forces.
It is rumored at the London mili-
tary clubs that the British Govern-
ment is not indisposed to hand over
the responsibility for the maintenance
of the fortresses at Ilalifax and
Esquimalt to the Canadian Govern-
ment.
Mr. Borden has been made a mem-
ber of the permanent committee on
Imperial defence. It is the first time
any colonial Minister has been hon-
ored in this way. He is pleased
with the result of his visit, and sails
on Wednesday.
DOMINION WIIEAT DUMPING.
Lord Rosebery Says It Would Depopulate(
English Rural Districts.
Lord Rosebery, speaking at Edin-
burgh on Saturday, argued that a 2
shilling duty on corn could bo no
help to the British agriculturist when
experts urged frons. 5 shillings to
25. Mr. Chamberlain's colonial pre-
ference
ro-ference would bring the English far-
mers into direct competition with
350,000,000 acres of the finest wheat
territory in Canada and their last
state would be worse than the first.
They would be obliged to pay more
for their feeding stuffs and machinery,
while Canadian wheat dumping, spe-
cifically encouraged by Canadian
bounty -fed corn, would depopulate the
English rural districts. The United
States would soon not have enough
food for her population; then would
come the time for Canada and Aus-
tralia to become the great grain sup-
plying source for the Empire, but in
war time the surest policy would be
to take the whole world for our l
granary. Mr. Sifton's statement that.
Canada did not require to be bribed
to ensure her loyalty, would be re-
echoed through every part of the Em-
pire. The British Empire was a.
great defensive league of communities
under the august head of the British
Crown.
The Times, referring to Lord
Rosebery's speech, says: "He stud-
iously endeavors to set the English
agriculturist against the Canadian.
Lord Rosebery does not see that the
Canadian wheat belt is the greatest.
productive asset within the Empire."
The Standard says: "Lord Rosebery
made an adroit speech. It was the
recent utterances of Canadian states-
men that led him to attack the new
project on the Imperial side."
PASSING OF WOODEN SHIPS.
Fifty -Two Wrecked on the Lakes. Dui
Not One Steel Ship.
Chicago, Dec. 14. -The "hearts of
oak" passed rapidly into a bygone
era during the season of navigation.
just closed on the Great Lakes. The
transition from wood to steel was
never so marked. With no wooden
ships being built, fifty-two passed out
Of existence by being wrecked, and
probably half as many more made
their last trips and will never sail
again. The lost vessels were valued
at $924,600. From the marine un-
derwriters' standpoint, the season
was the most disastrous since 1898.
The aggregate of losses of all kinds,.
including cargoes, was about $2,100,-
000. The total premiums taken in by
the companies are estimated at about
the same figure. The net loss, which
consists of commissions and expense
of doing business, may aggregate
$300,000. This is divided between
many companies. The season wan
notable in that all the total losses.
were confined to wooden ships. Not
a single steel ship was lost, and the
partial losses on this class of pro-
perty were much lighter than usual.
Lake Erie was the most' dangerous
of all the lakes, both for vessel pro-
perty and human life. One hundred
and nineteen disasters were charged
to that lake, or nearly one-fourth of
the entire list. Lake Michigan came
next with 03 disasters. Other lakes
and rivers were: Lake Superior, GO;.
Lake Ontario, 51; Detroit River, 43;
St. Clair River, 55; Soo Passage,
85.
