Foreign Capital Invades
the Dominion of Canada
ARGE sums of foreign money
are being invested in Canada, a
4 number of prosperous industrial

concerns having been purchased
by foreigners. German and English
capitalists are investing money in
that way and are paying what the
Canadians regard as high prices. If
the trade prosperity should be inter
fered with the investment might in
many cases prove unsatisfactory to
the new owners
The Toronto Globe, the Dominion
Government organ in Ontario, has
caused a good deal of surprise in de-
claring that Parliament at its session
in November should remove the duty
on coal, which it says would largely
stimulate manufactures. The Globe
says that in the fiscal year of 1905
So, 200, ,283 was paid in duty on coal.
Anthracite coal is free, so that this
duty on bituminous coal fell largely
on the manufacturing industries. The
Dominion Coal Company and the
Nova Scotia Company and other coal
mining corporations in the maritime
provinces, all of which produce soft
coal, are very much opposed to any
change in the duty on coal. They
claim that even with the present duty
they are unable to hold the Dominion
market any farther west than Mon
treal, as the item of freight prevents
their competition with American coal
west of that point.

BAD FIRE
AT MOORE
LOSS WILL AMOUNT TO ABOUT
THIRTY FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS.

A fire occurred at Moore last night
that will entail loss, according to
present incomplete estimates, of
about $4,000, which is believed to
be fully covered by insurance.
The fire started shortly after mid
night in Albert L. F1eming's saloon,
and spread from there to J. D. Kipe's
barn, from that point it was carried
to the warehouse of the Judith Com
mercial company, but by that time
the goods had all been removed and
the damage to the company was not
extensive. Just how the blaze start
ed is not known at this time.
Mr.. Flemings saloon was Quilted, and
the loss there is estimated at about
$4,000. Mr. Kipe had 300 chickens in
his barn, and they were all lost The
Judith Commercial company's loss
is from $500 to $500.
Made a Good Fight.
The facilities for fighting fire at
Moore are not very good. but the cit
liens quickly got to work, and it was
due to their constant efforts that the
blaze was kept within bounds. Among
those who led in the battle with the
flames were DR.. owen and DR.. David
whose clothing was nearly burned of
their backs. 1t was not until go
this morning that the fire was extin
guished. 1t was an exceedingly close
call, and while the fire was a ser
ious one, it came near being SO much
worse that the citizens feel very thank
full over their escape from a real dis
aster.
In the warehouse Of the Judith com
mercial company was stored large
number of cases of coal oil, and ha6
the fire reached this part of the
building, it would have been impossi
bic to have controlled it at all. The
warehouse was provided with an iror
roof and there was an iron partition
through the building, and these count
ed largely in favor of the fire fight
ers.
The insurance is all carried by Hill
ger & Busenburg. and while exac
figures cannot be given at this time
Prof. Busenburg states that the in
surance will cover the losses prett!
fully. He left for Moore this after
noon.
