congress will be the most important Of
its kind in all time. THE long series Of
interesting papers and reports to be dealt
with at the congress-" says Secretary
Porter, in the presence of the most emf
nent technical experts throughout the
world guarantees the congress the great
est scientific success. This congress WILL
however. receive still more special I'M
portance from the opportunity offered to
its members of becoming acquainted with
the characteristics and the epoch-making
progress of American technical science
both in New York, as we'll as in the
American centers of steel and cement in
dustry: and secondly, from the oppor-
tunity likewise offered of gaining practi-
cal stimulus from the repeated personal
intercourse between European and Amer
lean technical experts.
The sessions of the congress in New
York include number OF interesting fea-
lures. On Monday evening there VIII be
an informal reception under the joint aus
pices of the American Association for

Loss In Canadian Farm Acreage

We have been told for several
years of the great annual influx of
settlers into the Canadian northwest.
We have believed all this and we
have believed too, the enticing crop
yields that have been reported-all II
calculated to show that that country
was growing as no other country
ever grew.
However, we are now treated to Il
cold bath in the form Of the latest
figures of the Canadian government.
In the board of trade columns OF
the metropolitan papers of the 18th
inst, We find statement of the to-
tai production and yields per acre
OF the Canadian farmers. A little
computation develops the fact (if the
figures are correct) that
The acreage of wheat in 1912 was
652 ,594 acres less than in 1911.
The acreage of oats was 1886 less
in 1912 than in 1911.
The acreage of barley was 1894
acres more in 1912 than in 1911.
This makes a total acreage of
the three principal crops 657,
acres less in 1912 than in 1911.
This is not very consistent with
the claim of remarkable increase in
the number of farmers. 1t aligns
better with the statements that have
come to us from time to time that
many farms We're being abandoned
in the Canadian northwest. How
ever, we will not attempt to solve
the puzzle. 1t would be good guess
however that the figures purporting
to show the yield per acre are heay-
ily padded.

GOES THRU BRIDGE
ENGINEER LOSES CONTROL OF
TRACTION ENGINE
ONE MAN BADLY INJURED
Cauoht Between Corn Shredder and
Engine.-A Narrow Escape
From Death

While the traction engine and corn
shredder belonging to Fred Brown
OF Glen Flora was going up the east
approach to the bridge across the
Chippewa river a mile east OF Bruce
Monday afternoon. the engineer, VerI
Wagner, of Haley Lake, lost con-
troll of the engine, and as it started
to back down the approach, it broke
through the bridge. The engineer was
caught and crushed between the en-
CINE and the shredder, and besides
having one rib broken and another
torn loose, sustained other severe
internal injuries.
The other members of the crew
had considerable difficulty in extri-
eating Mr.. Wagner and it was found
that the throttle lever had been bro
ken when it struck the engineers
body.
Mr.. Wagner was immediately ta-
ken to Bruce for surgical attention
and we are informed will probably
recover.
Had the engine not broken through
the bridge. it is probable that it
would have backed off one side and
no doubt the accident would have
been more serious.
