MEAT FAMINE IN
 WESTERN CANADA

Calgary. Alta., Feb. 7.--Wesl- rrn Canada is threatened with a meat famine. It now transpireS that the amount of beef in cold storage at the Burns packing plant here, which was destroyed by fire recently, was greater than at first thought.
 It. is estimated that S200.0O0 worth of dressed beef was con stunned, with fully as much more in hog and mutton rarcassrS. Much of the mutton was shipped from Australia and cannot be re- placed for some time. The result has been a sharp rise in prices. Beef on the hnnf has ris"n from , tu : i-i cents and is scarce at these figures. Retailers are raiS- ;ng prices prOpOrtiOnately

TO PAv HEAD | TAX MAKES
 HER BLOOD BOIL

New York, Feb. 1.-The suf- fragists have a new grievance to use in their demand for votes for women." Mrs. Harriet Stan ton Blatch, one of their promi- nent leaders, had to pay Si as a head tax when she arrived on a steamer from the Bahamas yes terday because her husband, who accompanied her, is an English man and the United States, there fore looks upon her as an alien.
 ''Il makes my blood boil,' she said. Il was married before this law became effective and l have never before been asked to pay the taX.' Her husband cheerful ly handed over the money.
 Mrs. Blatch was greeted by scores of sutfragists who had fit ted out tug with their banners and who sailed with her on a triumphant tour around the bat tery, up the Hudson river, oppO- site her home. On board the boat the suffragists held a birth day party in her honor.

a GOOD TIME FOR
 THE NAVAL MILITIA

Washington, D. C., Feb. 7.-- The Navy department is consid- cring plans to attach the naval militia to the fleet which will make the initial trip through the Panama canal. The naval mil itia on the Atlantic coast will go trough the big ditch in their own ships, while the Great Lakes or ganizations will form part of the crows of the Atlantic reserve fleet.
 This information has been communicated unotficially to of ticers of the National Naval Mill itia association, so that the na- val militia shall have sufficient time to arrange for the trip. As in the mobilization last October, the naval militia will be enlist ed temporarily in the regular army and will be discharged at the conclusion of the cruise.
 While the program for the trip has not yet been determined, it is probable that the fleet will sail from New York down the At lantic coast, proceeding to San Francisco after going through the canal. At San Francisco a grand review and sufficient shore leave to give officers and crews an opportunity to see the expo sition grounds will be the features of the expedition.
