Immoral Traffic Among In

Awful Conditions.

Ottawa Ont, Jan. 22.-Canadians are
up IN arms over the report which has
been made public by the Dominion
government to the effect that ini GER
tain parts Of British Columbia there
are regular slave markets as cruel as
were ever known in darkest Africa.
This, coupled with the recent expo
sures about the traffic in young girls
between certain procurers in Canada
and the United States, has stirred up
the authorities and vigorous action is
going to be taken Immediately to sup
press the things referred to.
The Dominion government has init
mated to the government of British
Columbia that If it believes it is not
able to suppress the horrible state of
affairs the national government will
step in and see that this blot on the
fame of Canada be wiped out imme-
diately.

tinental Europe is Grow
ing Well.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The foreign
crop report of the department of
agriculture for December shows that
over large areas of Europe, the pre-
vailing characteristics were unsea-
sonably warm weather and excessive
humidity. Crops lately sown have
terminated finely and entered on the
winter In strong healthy condition.
Late sowings, however, were unusu-
ally extensive and some anxiety is
felt concerning them.
FOLLOWING is summary of the con-
ditions in the principal producing
countries of Europe:
Great Britain-Winter wheat AREA
has been extended. The acreage.
however, is still believed to be dimin-
ished as compared with last year.
The growing crops have an improved
appearance. Flowing for spring crops
has been general.
Belgium and Holland-Some excess
OF rain. but no complaints as to condi-
ton of growing crops.
France-Crops looking well, rye
and barley especially. The wheat area
is the average.
Switzerland-Winter sowings re-
duced on account of the abnormal
humidity.
Spain-Crops satisfactory.
ltaly-1n extreme south and Sicily
generally satisfactory. In the north
growing crops have suffered some
damage. Olives abundant and oil ex-
cellent.

Two Harbors, Mimi, Jan. 23.-
While reading a recent issue of a
newspaper published in Sweden, her
native land, Mrs. P. C. Peterson of
Two Harbors, learned of the death at
Portland, Oregon, of August Lind,
her long lost brother and that he had
bequeathed to her all his property,
estimated to be worth more than So

at Portland and has taken other steps
to establish her identity. Her brother
sent for her nineteen years ago and
she came to America. Lind went
west and for eighteen years was
thought dead by his sister, who re-
ceived no word from him.
