Many Windjammers Clear from

VICTORIA, Sept. 16. There is
not the slightest doubt that 1912 will
set a new record for the amount of
lumber shipped from British Column
bia ports to foreign countries in sail
ing ships. !, So far this year about 25
windjammers have cleared from Vic
toria and Vancouver, and approx
mately 100000 feet of lumber has
been taken out by them. Before the
year closes many other sailers will
load cargoes of British Columbia fir
for South America, Australia and
Great Britain, and there is every in
dication that the record for the enter
the record for the amount of lumber
shipped will both be broken. Owing
to the superior quality Of British Co
lumbia fir it is in great demand in all
parts of the world. Three sailers are
now heading this way for cargoes, in
Guiding the Maria Teresa, the Schiff-
bek and the Lady Elizabeth. = News is
received that the latter, a Norwegian
sailing vessel, left Los Who's, s. A.,
on August IL for Vancouver to load
at the Hastings mills She will not
be due in the Royal roads until about
the middle of October. Word has
been received also that the German
bark Schiffbek, which is also to load
at Vancouver, sailed from Santa Ro-
salia for the Royal roads prior to Au-
gust 6. She is expected here in the
very near future. The Schiffbek
brought cargo of coke and general
to Santa Rosalia from
Hamburg. = 49, 4r........... 4

Greater Speed, More Silk.
Will the new C. p. r. Oriental lin
ers, Empress of Russia and Empress
Of Asia, which start in the trans-Pa-
cific service next spring, control the
bulk of the rich shipments OF silk
rom the Orient to this coast? asks the
Vancouver News-Advertiser This isl
question which is interesting local
men, and the general opinion
IS that the new vessels, which are to
have a guaranteed speed of twenty
me knots an hour, will undoubtedly
handle nearly all the silk brought to /
America from the Far. East when they
commence operations.
While the rate for handling the silk
has some bearing on securing the big
shipments of raw silk, which are
sent overland to New York, the princi-
pal feature is the speed with which
he material can be landed in the mar
1et. The quicker it is handled the bet
er the price received. and as the
new steamers of the G. P. r. are toI
make the passage of the Pacific a
couple of days faster than any vessels
low operating between the Orient and
he west coast, il is believed that the
traffic, which has been turning to Pu-
