Ottawa, Oct. 26:-That Allan r.
Hawley and Augustus Post are still
alive, although lost in the wilder
ness somewhere in the Hudson bay
region, is the confident belief OF the
government officials who are aiding
In the search for the lost balloon,
America H." and the crew. Now
that it has been learned Hawley and
Post had guns and ammunition
fishing tackle and plenty Of heavy
clothing, 1t is considered that they
have a fighting chance to overcome
the hardships in the uninhabited re-
gions.
The story brought by Richard Cole,
guide, to the effect that he sighted
balloon last Thursday will be In
vestigated at once. The most signif-
cant part of his story is that he fixes
the date as Thursday.
The Dusseldorf, Germania and
AZurea, the balloons covering the long
est distance, came to earth on Wed
nesday, and If Coles story stands il
will be regarded as proof that the
America got safely across Lake Huron
and Is somewhere In the far north.
Throughout Canada there Is grave
doubt whether Hawley and Augustus
Post will ever be seen alive again.
Samuel Perkins Of the crew of the
Dusseldorf II. said:
my opinion is that we shall never
hear what has become of the occu-
pants of the balloon America II. / be
lteve that at this moment they are
dead.''
He bases his belief in the death OF
the men Post and Hawley of the miss
ing balloon upon the fact that he knows
Of certainty that they carried nc
emergency food supply.

Quebec, Oct. 26:-The most likely
of all the reports at hand today
about balloon being seen, which
might be the America H." is one
from st. Felician in the Lake st.
John district. This place is forty
miles northwest of Kiskisink. A yell
low balloon is reported by several
persons to have been seen there. If
this report is reliable the America

However, the peril of Hawley and
Post can hardly be exaggerated for
there is waste beyond where the
balloon was seen drifting.

tain life for any. period.

THE stand offspring plant cane is re-

promising than it was two months or a
month ago. The fields are not as free Of
grass as usual at this time of the year,
but the cane is showing large stalks and
seems to have the weight.
The rains have had a tendency to
prevent the cane from maturing. Dry

is needed to sWeeten the cane. Indications
at this writing are that this desideratum
will be supplied.
Hon. Henry C. Braud of Burnside re
ports the crops in that vicinity in but a

tonnage is equaled the management will
be well satisfied with the result. The
wind and rain Of Friday were considered
more beneficial than detrimental to the
cane crop, while on corn and peas the eff
feet was the opposite.
Manager w. W Barron of McManol
pronounces the cane in fine condition and
believes that good results will be obtained
