The "Royal Muskoka."

The opening up Of the Highlands Of
Ontario. Canada, and the beautiful
Muskoka Lake region, has been veri-
table labor of love to the advertising
department of the Grand Trunk Rail-

such an influx of American tourists as
will amply justify the outlay in hotel
accommodation which has been recently
made. The Royal Muskoka," in fact,
promises TO become to Canada, in sum-
mer. what the Royal Ponciana" is to
Florida, in the winter months, the fash
ionable resort of the continent, where
the romantic and beautiful can be en-
joyed with all the luxury and comfort
of the most modern hotel life. The
Royal Muskoka'' which has been built
at a cost of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, very much resembles
the architecture of the famous
Flagler hotels, soft gray stucco walls.

DO NOT FAVOR STRIKE.
North vassaIboro Wooden Weavers Sat.
isfied With Their Pay.

North Vassalboro, Me-, March 30
There has been an unsuccessful attempt
on the part of the delegates of Rhode Is
land to organize the weavers of the
American Wooden Cos. mills in this vii
lage. Only such of the local operatives
who have come here from other cities ana
states are members of the Weavers'
Union and these are in the minority.
Last evening, the local weavers held an
informal meeting at the home of one of
their number and discussed the published
statement of the weavers' committee of
Rhode Island. which statement was in eff
feet that the next move would be to
strike at the American Co.'S. mills and at
Skowhegan.
1t is understood that a union had form
ed among the weavers at Skowhegan but
no such union has been formed here. The
American Cos. mill at Fairfield is the
nearest mill outside of this village and
word has been received from there that
the weavers have decided not to join
any union or to take part in the strike.
Local weavers say they have no gricv-
ance and that their pay is as good as paid
anywhere in Maine and better than is
paid in Olneyville. The agent of the To-
cal mills feels confident that there will be
no trouble with the weavers.

UNDER WATER.
Thousands of Square Miles
Covered by the Floods.
Railroads See No Prospect Of Traffic
Starting for Days.
Loss Will Be Many Millions-Msny
Lives Lost.

st. Paul, Mimi, March 30-Trans-
| continental traffic by the northern
routes continues to be blockaded. The
Northern Pacific's efforts to transfer
passengers across the lake formed by
the overlooking of the sloughs near
Mckenzie, n. D., have proved futile
and but little hope is held out for a
resumption of business in the immedi-
ate future
| Reports from the Great Northern are
to the effect that their trans-continen-
tai trains, which heretofore have been
| able to get through with only slight de-
lay, are now held up by floods in the
western portion of North Dakota.
Just where the trouble is has not been
definitely learned. but Geographic re-
ports say the Mouse river is over it's
banks at Minot and that numerous
bridges have been swept away. The
Red river is also at flood tide at Grand
, Forks. but so far as reported little dam
age has been done there.
The situation of the Northern Pacific
is extremely serious. Reports from Nc
Kenzie are to the effect that lake 50
miles long and two miles wide has
formed. and the tracks are 16 feet I'M
der water, or perhaps entirely washed
out.
Efforts to transfer passengers across
this lake have not been successful. The
wind has been so high and the water
so rough that much danger has attend
ed the attempt to transfer passengers
in small skiffs. 1t is thought that an
entirely new track will have to be built
around this gap before traffic can be
carried on.
Passengers east bound have been
held at Bismarck and no west bound
coast trains have been started from st.
Paul. As no freight can be moved
westward, there is some fear that a
famine in food stuffs may result in Bis
marck, though it is possible enough
provender can be gotten through from
the west to relieve the more pressing
needs.
Some of the Northern Pacific bust
ness has been transferred to the Bur-
lington at Billingsnont and in that
way 1T is hoped to open an avenue of
communication with the north coast
cities. The most hopeful railroad off,
Gals are inclined to believe that it will
be at least 10 days before through traf-
fic can be re-established by regular
routes.
A dispatch from Bismarck, n. D., to-
day, says railroad officials there hope
to have a train through some time, to-
night. Passengers, mail and baggage,
today, were conveyed by wagon to a
neck of the temporary lake and there
ferried across by a launch.
Ties and rails are being rushed to
the lake and a temporary track will be
constructed as soon as possible. An
immense amount of freight is accumu-
lating at both ends of the washout and
unless these shall be moved soon a
great loss will be entailed upon the
railroad company, in addition to that
caused already by the delay in traffic.

Strikes Notes.

Beginning April 1 there will be a
strike of all journeymen painters in
Lowell, who are not receiving $2.25 a
day.
A permanent textile organization
was effected, Saturday, in the head
quarters of the Loom FiXers' Union at
Lawrence. Delegates were present
from the weavers, spinners and loom
fixers.
The mills of the United States Cotton
Co, at Central Falls, r. L., in notices
announcing an advance in wages post
ed, Saturday, state that the increase
ploy $50 hands.
There is probability that the differ
ences between the brewery proprietors
of Boston and their employees will be
referred to arbitration and thus the
strike now threatening in the brewing
industry will be averted.
Notices were posted, Saturday, by
the Manville Co., operating the Man
vile mill at Manville and the Social,
Nourse and Globe mills in Woonsocket
and by the Blackstone Manufacturing
Co at Blackstone, Mass, all cotton
concerns, that a general advance in
wages will take effect April Z.
Last Wednesday a representative of
the girls employed in the Miller's River
Manufacturing Cos. plant at Athol
called upon the treasurer and stated
that they ought to get more money for
they work. Mr.. Gaynor declined and
eight left. Friday they received their
pay, and their places are being filled.
Mr.. Gaynor says that he has been pay
ing more than the other mills.
Albert A. Murphy, a master painter,
doing an extensive business at Quincy,
notified his workmen, Saturday, morn
ing that on and after April l he should
grant them an S-hour day at 8 hours
pay. This action was entirely volun-
tary on the part of Mr.. Murphy, and
his men were as much surprised as
trey were pleased at mis- concession. Mr..
Murphy is the first master painter of
the city to make this move.
The strike of the iron moulders in
Manchester, N. H., has been settled by
the management of the locomotive
works deciding to nail up the doors of
its foundry. At the works it is learned
that the company can have it's forging
| done cheaper at the company's works
in Schenectady, N. Y, than it can be
made here, and this plan is now being
followed. Between 60 and 20 men are
thrown out of employment by the clos
| ing of the foundry.

IMPORTANT WITNESS
AguinaIdo Will Testify in Libel
Suit at Manila.
Philippine Commission Raises the
Rate of Exchange for Silver.
Traders Disseminated but Government
Officials Will Benefit.

Manila, March 30.-Senor Valdez
the editor of local paper, who has
been sued for libel by two of the Fill
Pine members of the United States
Philippine commission, will subpoena
Aguinaldo to appear in court to testify
in the case. Gen. Chaffee's permission
to this step has been obtained.
The United States Philippine COM
mission, yesterday, fixed the govern
ment rate of exchange for silver, for
the second quarter of this year at s2.27
Mexican silver for one gold dollar. The
rate of exchange, yesterday, at the
banks was s2.23 Mexican for one dollar
gold, but the banks refused to sell gold
in large quantities, not having suf-
ficient coin to do so. The banks have
notified the quartermaster's depart
ment that it is impossible for them to
cash quartermaster's checks.
The scarcity of American gold is at
tributed partly to the banks, and large
iy to Chinese spectators, who always
buy American gold at a quotation two
points higher than the bank.
This action of the commission in
making the government rate higher
than the bank rate of exchange has
created much discomfort among i'm
porters. They are unable to obtain
sufficient gold to pay import duties and
must consequently pay these duties in
silver at the government rate of 1927.
The employees of the civil government
are elated at the new rate of exchange
as it means a considerable increase in
their salaries.
1t is the intention of the commission
to endeavor to retain the gold in the
archipelago. The bankers of Manila
say that the monetary condition in the
archipelagos cannot be helped by gov
crnmental action, and that a region as
important commercially as the Philip
pine archipelago must affect the
worlds markets.
Rufino, who spent 100000 in his eff
forts to incite rebellion in the province
of Misamis, island of Mindano now
declares that he is tired of rebellion
and has offered to surrender, with rs
rifles, to the native constabulary.
Gen. Chaffee will leave Manila, April
10, on a tour of inspection to the island
of Samar. He will visit every port
in the island and will witness the
surrender there, April Is, of the in
Surgent General Gueverra. After this
surrender the American garrisons in
Samar will be largely reduced.
During the last three days there
have been 10 new cases of cholera here
and four deaths from the disease.

Mississippi River FaIlins-Enormou
Damage-Some Loss of Life.

Memphis, Tenn, March 30.-Advices
from the flooded districts in Mississippi
are that the waters are slowly receding
and it is. believed the worst is over. The
situation has been a critical one and
the damage to railroads, farms and
other property will foot up an enor-
nous sum. 1t is reported that many
negroes lost their lives.
Meridian, in the eastern part of the
state, has had no railroad communica-
ton for several days. Railroad traffic
continues paralyzed in that section.
Not one of the five railroads entering
the city have yet been able to get
trains through either north or south.
