$4,000 CARS FOR GRAIN
Railway Companies Take Care
Of Wheat Transportation.
Provision Made for Handling Yield
Now In Hands OF Harvesters
In Northwest.

st. Paul. MINI, Aug. 14-More than
$4,000 freight cars have been Assem-.
bled In the wheat raising districts OF
the northwest, east OF the Missouri
river. In readiness To handle the crop
that is being harvested.
These figures were gathered from
the three roads traversing the grain
fields OF Minnesota and North Dakota
and centering in this city. An official
OF one OF the roads said that about
10000 cars of grain is ready to be
loaded for shipment to Minneapolis
and Duluth.
Railroad men say that the mobiliza-
ton of such a large number OF cars
will not cause shortage for other
traffic, as ample provision has been
made In that direction. Cars sent TO
the agricultural districts have been
loaded with coal or other commodities
with orders to send them back filled
with wheat.

Steamer Lake ChampIain Still
Standing by to Help.
NEITHER VESSEL HAS MOVED
Impression Grows In Shipping Circles
That Damage to Allan Liner 10
Worse Than Appears on
the Surface.

Montreal. Aug. IA - The ignal
service officers, when quest :. re-
piled that the Allan line steamship Cor
sican, which smashed into an iceberg
and sustained damage above her wa
ter line, and the Canadian Pacific line
steamer Lake Champlain, which went
to her assistance, were still in the po-
sition in which they were last report
ed; that is 100 miles east of Belle
Isle. The Allan liner has not stirred
from this position since the accident
occurred. Both ships report no dan
ger
Something Being Concealed.
Shipping experts, however, begin to
surmise that much more damage was
actually done to the Corsican than
was admitted by her captain in the
messages be sent to the Allan line. 1t
Is pointed out that icebergs project
under water and that as the ship was
admittedly damaged above the water
line after striking stem on she must
also be damaged much more beneath
the water line unless the berg she
struck was of quite exceptional forma-
ton. Also if there is no danger, as is
reported, it seems strange that the
ships should have made no progress,
no matter how slow.
1t is also difficult to understand
why, if the Corsican was able to pro-
coed to Liverpool as stated, the Lake
Champlain should find 1t necessary to
stand by all day and identify herself
in each report made by the injured
ship.
Private Message Leaks Out.
1t Is felt that much may have been
withheld either in Captain Cooks re-
ports to the Allan line officials, or in
the firms version of these reports as
Issued by them. A private message
sent from the Corsican by wireless to
Montreal, via Point Amour, leaked out
in transmission. Questions addressed
to party to whom the message was
sent We're replied to by a portion Of
truth, but the fact was suppressed
that the Lake Champ1ain's commander
considered it advisable to stand by
the Corsican to be ready to give aid
II necessary, although this was incor-
porated in the message.
A pessimistic feeling is growing
among those who have knowledge of
navigation, that all is not SO we'll as
is painted; that the Lake Champlain
is afraid to leave the Corsican for
fear of loss of life and that the Cor
sican is unable to either proceed or
return.
