nrILpINGs FOR MONTH.

Building permits ITO the number of
fftysone were issued during August
by the board of tax assessors. This
is three more than the number of per-
mits issued during August. 1908
The number of permits for the year
up to date Is slightly behind the num-
Der issued during the same part of
last year. More buildings have been
put up, but the permits are combined
in many instances now instead of be-
ing issued separately as formerly This
accounts for the decrease in number.

There is little doubt that the Villas

THE CANADIAN CROP
A Winnipeg Banker Says 100000
Bushels.

About fifty million bushels is the way
Benjamin Wilson Of Winnipeg, manager
Of the Bank of Hamilton, estimates the
crop Of the Canadian northwest. Mr..
Wilson bases this estimate on his own
personal investigation having travelled
by team extensively, both north and
south Of the Canadian Pacific in Mani
toba, and on the managers of the TWEEN
ty-one branches Of the Bank of Hamil-
ton who have reported to him weekly
on crop conditions.
He says there is no rust north
of the Assiniboia worth speak
ing of, that it does not extend
further west than a line running
southwest from Harbury, which is lit
tie east of Brandon, and that in the re-
gion affected the damage has not been
serious. There is always little rust,
he says, in some localities, except in
very dry years, and he has yet to find
a section where the damage this year
has been important.
