BIG SHEEP RANCH
 FOR MAS VALLEY

Calgary. Jan. l7-P. Burns, of Calgary. and a syndicate of Calgary capitalists and others are interested in 5000 acres of land in Naas val ley, and they intend to go in for eN- tensive sheep raising in the near future. This purchase was made just recently and the deal involved a very large amount of money reach ing into the hundreds of thousands. Mr. Burns does not admit that he IS connected with the gigantic syndi- cate. but others who have been iu touch with the property in Ques- ton, state that he Is, and that the largest sheep raising ranch on the continent will be started within the next few months on the property.
 The ranch is located in British Columbia on the slopes of the mountains, and extends for miles over an excellent country suited in every way for the raising of sheep. It Is stated that the syndicate will endeavor to demonstrate that West ern Canada, especially that part in the mountains and southern Alberta Is equally as well adapted for the raising of sheep as Australia, and within a few years millions of herds will roam the mountains and another great industry will flourish in the west and with the raising of cattle the raising of sheep will be as much sought after.

NOON Is FLASHED

Washington, Jan. 16-When the little wooden ball on top of the State. War, and Navy Buildings drops with a thud, ships thousands of miles at sea in all the directions of the compass, set their chrono- meters.
 For this little ball represents the official time of this country and the official time at sea for American vessels. It is operated from the naval observatory, exactly at noon and as it falls, the Arling- ton radio station wireless the one flash "noon," through the air, the telegraph operator flashes 1t over his keys, and tens of thousands of clocks are teTegraphically regulated to the dot.

London, Jan. 17-The situation surrounding Balkan war matters is somewhat uncertain owing Co the delay occasioned in translating code dispatches but there is every evi- dence to think that war Is on again or will be within the next few hours
 The Porte at Constantinople has not yet received the official notice or formal note Of the breaking of the peace negotiations.
 There is a widespread belief that the Balkan Allies have been tricked in the negotiations. From the very beginning it was clear that Turkey had everything to gain from an armistice and little to lose. What is not so clear is whether the arm ies of the Allies had come Co such a pass that delay for them also was very desirable, if not absolutely i'm perative. Indeed, it is only on this supposition, or on one of almost Quixotlc chivalry and patience that

TRAITOR MORE DETEsTED
 THAN ARE DYNAMTTERS

Washington, Jan. IA number of federal attorneys were called in Co consult with Attorney General Wickersham this morning for the purpose Of determining what Co do with Ortie McNanigal. the confess cd dynamiter. It was through the confessions of McManigal that the McNamaras and other dynamiters were caught and sentenced, and his confession was secured by promises of Ieniency. Just how much len iency shall be shown him is the question which is troubling the gov Crnment. It Is true that he a"es not deserve any, but the promises were made and must be fuEiIs1.

London, Jan. 17-After third reading and long battle the Irish home rule bill passed the House of Commons yesterday by a large ma jority, and has now gone to the House of Lords for a first reading
 The fate of tho bill with the upper house of Parliament is a tritle in definite, but the leaders of the meas ure claim to have a majority. The effect of the large majority in the lower house will serve a strong in flueuce in securing early passage. The committee had previously re ported favorably on Its passage and there seems to be no impeachment in the way of granting the fullest

Grand Arctic Recorder J. M Kel- Ter is today in receipt Of cable gram from Grand Arctic Chief II. J. Landahl advising him that owing Co the sentiment expressed by the sub ordinate Camps Of the Arctic Broth erhood relative to the establish ment of auxiliary camps Of the or der at Vancouver and Seattle, Mir LandahI realizes that the dele gates at the last Grand Camp con vention did not vote in accordance with the sentiments Of the Northern camps, and that to proceed with the extension of the original juris- diction of the Brotherhood would be !n opposition to the wishes of the majority of the members of the or ganization.
 In the advice received from Grand Arctic Chief Landahl he says in part as follows: Not only would the establishment of camps of the brotherhood fin Vancouver and Seat tie likely mean a breach in the

the recent course Of events can be explained
 The Allies must have known the methods Of Turkish diplomacy; they could not possibly have neg, lected to learn the lessons which were flung in the face Of Italy dur ing the negotiation of the Treaty of Lauzanne. There the Turk pre- varicated and clustered, gaining de- lays for the most trumpery req sons and signing at last only, so to speak, at the point of the bayonet.
 It is quite clear that the same methods have been employed in London. The Turk has nothing left in Europe but a small slice of terri tory and the three fortesses Of Constantinople, Adrianople and Scu- tari. Scutari must go in any case, and the Powers have agreed that Constantinople shall remain Turkish The whole question then hinges on AdIianople, which the armistice un- doubtedly saved from equalization.

measure of home rule to Ireland, a consummatlon which she has de- voutly sought for years.
 When the news was received Tn Belfast of the passage of the bill' the Orangemen, and members of the Protestants unions, organized a big demonstration in opposition to 1t. A copy of the bill was publicly burned in the streets and orators waxed fervid in denouncing the Commons for passing 1t.
 The Irish Catholics are jubilant over the success of the home rule bill and telegrams of congratula- tion are pouring in upon the mem bers who supported it.

Landahl would abide by the wishes Of the mem bers from the Northland when the facts Of the case were put before him in a proper light. and the as- surance conveyed In tOday's mes sage Is no surprise to him, as he confidently expected that the Grand Arctic Chief would take this stand.

Up the Orinoco andy Down the Magdalena." has a wonderful expanse of branches for which nature has sup piled special props. These are large buttresses, from six to twelve inches thick, and from ten to twenty feet above the ground, that project like rays from all sides of it's lofty trunk.
