Grain Elevator Is Lost But Biggest
Part of Contents Is Saved.

Fort Williams, Ont. May 27.-The Ogil-
vie Company's grain elevator here started
to slide into the river during the night.
At daylight this morning the building had
moved from its foundation and it was
considered impossible to save it. Dis
placement of the pile foundation is be
lieved to have been the cause of the col
lapse of the building. The Canadian Pa
cific Railway and the other elevator COM
panies here promptly offered assistance
and men have been working all day to
save the grain. of which there are $4,000
bushels. Seventy-five or 80 per cent. Of
1t can be saved as the bins remain in
tact. The total loss on the elevator and
contents Is estimated at $4,000.

Rivers not only carry sediment, but
they also dissolve many substances.
such as salt. various carbonates and
sulphates. This constant transport of
dissolved substances into the sea has
made it salt throughout. common salt
being the most readily soluble of min
erals. and. therefore, the most freely
transported by rivers.
