Wild Horses on Rampage

A new problem has come in that
wonderful pioneer region in Eastern
British Columbia, known as the Peace
River country. The Canadian Minis
ter of Agriculture has been urged to
take steps to protect settlers against
the depredations Of wild horses which
have made raids upon the ranches
of new settlers, killing domestic horses
and leading away a number Of
well-bred domestic mares which have
been imported at a considerable cost.
The wild horses are supposed to be the
descendants Of horses abandoned dur
ing the gold rush to the Yukon terri
tory in 1878. From the Bow River
westward these animals have raided
the ranches Of settlers as far west as
Kamloops and even the contractors on
the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway have
been pestered by the mischevious stall
lions.

ElOpes With Father.


BERLIN, Sept. 17.-Fraulein Myra
Goersen's father, wealthy manufact-
urer of Treptow, having refused to let
her marry Jacob Xaver, his former
clerk, the young lovers planned 10
elope. Herr Goersen discovered the
plot but craftily kept silent At the
appointed midnight Myra stealthily
opened the hall door and hoped into
a waiting motor car at the wheel Of
which, much muffled up sat, as she
supposed, her Jacob. With finger 10
his lips he quietly steered the car into
The darkness. After an hours ride
the machine came to a sudden stop
Myra's own door. Her companion
stepped out, removed his goggles, and
laughed. 1t was her father. Just
then another car dashed up, bringing
the real Jacob, whom Papa Goersen
had misled as to hour by a fake mes
sage. Myra, promptly deciding that d
lover who was so stupid would proc
ably bungle matters as husband, dis
missed him on the spot, and entered
the house obediently on her fathers
arm.

Russians VictimiZed.

(By United Press Assoc1ationsD
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. II
Thousands of persons have just been
victimized in cleverly manipulated
land swindle, according to dispatches
from Nakhitchevan. Circulars had
been sent out broadcast by a gang
OF real estate agents, saying that the
authorities had agreed to give 100
square yards of land in a new town
site Oh the River Don nearby to every
settler who should fence in his allot-
ment and promise to begin building
operations within a reasonable time.
The result was pretty fair imitation
Of western reservation opening in
the United States. Thousands stam-
peded to the place where they were
met by the agents" who assisted
them in stalking out the lots, and who
sold them at high prices large guam
titles Of fencing and building mater
ial. The swindiers also sold and re-
sold lots among the settlers in return
for fancy commissions.
Next day the agents" disappeared
just before the arrival of a detach-
ment of police from Nakhitchevan n
who proceeded to arrest the settlers
for occupying land without legal
authority. They not only lost their
claims but also the building mater
ials which they had purchased.

MARKET REPORTS
Los Angeles Produce

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17-Butte'
dropped &c a pound on the Los Ange-
les produce exchange yesterday, go
ing to 37c. This is nearer the proper
quotation than it has reached for some
time, as it was largely through specu-
lation that the price was forced up.
Rather large receipts Of the last few
days were instrumental in sending the
price down. There were no transac-
tions in eggs or cheese yesterday, their
prices remaining unchanged.
Dealers said yesterday that the
demand for apples has picked up a
little this week, but that there is still
great room for improvement. One of
the large houses received a car Of
Bellefleurs Monday and these were al
most cleaned up yesterday at s1.5O a
four-tier box This was largely due
however, to the fact that there Were
few Bellefleurs on the market before
this and that they do not believe that
large quantities would be disposed of
so quickly.
Pears, plums and peaches are ran
idly being celaned up on the market
and one Of the large houses took the
last Of their supply of nectarines out
of storage yesterday. There are only
a few more nectarines to come on the
market. All of these fruits are gradu-
ally getting more expensive, as they
are gradually getting scarcer. Packed
boxes Of Bartlett pears sold yesterday
for from S2.25 to S2.40.
Receipts of produce in Los Angeles
yesterday were: Eggs, 173 cases;
butter, 42,O98 pounds; cheese, 496
pounds; cheese, AIS sacks; sweet po-
