MORE ATLANTIC
LINERS REQUIRED
CONGESTION ON EXISTING STEAM
SHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANA
DIAN IMMIGRATION.

II Is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the exclusive use OF the Canadian
Trade. These are being built by the
White Star, Canadian Pacific and
Cunard Companies.
The liners to be built for the White
Star are TO be OF the same type as the
Laurentic and Majestic, and will re-
place the Canada and Teutonic. The
Cunard Lines new steamer, Ascania,
has already completed successfully
her maiden voyage from England to
Montreal, and her sister ship will be
launched early next year.
1t is predicted that the Canadian
Northern will not be slow in following
the example Of the other big concerns,
as IL is matter of common belief that
Canada, more than any other in the
world, will be the country of the fu-
ture, and the best field for investment
by shipping interests.
An Official of one of the companies
already building steamers for this
trade told the American yesterday
that the ideal steamer for this service
Is the two-cabin boat, having accom-
mediation for second-class and steer
age passengers only.
I'VE do not expect that the $4,000
cabin de luxe class will travel be-
tween Canada and England very ex-
tensively," he said, "but the business
that is to be obtained there will be
immensely lucrative, and for the next
ten years the eyes of the shipping
world will be riveted on Canada. The
Panama Canal, undoubtedly will re-
ceive a lot Of attention, but the bust
ness in that route will be nothing COM
pared with the Canadian trade for the
immediate future. Panama will de-
velop and become bigger in the years
to come, but at the present we are
most concerned with the tremendous
tide Of immigration that is being di-
verted from the United States to the
Dominion.
The farm land of the vast North
West is the attraction, and while this
food of immigration is at it's height,
the Canadian Government exercises a
strict censorship over the class of i'm
migrants admitted. In this way they
are drawing their future citizens from
the Northern countries and have
shown an unwelcome face to the peo-
pie of Southern Europe. Advertise

returning the salutes, he disregarded
all except Floyd. opposite whom he
stopped.
You seem to have nothing to do:

his ugliest intonation.
Floyd slipped off the railing and
stood up. his expression Pickering in
momentary surprise.
"All ready" he answered. quietly
businesslike under the undeserved re-
Duke.
Get It out, then"
The other men glanced significantly
at one another.
Good luck, Floyd" wished a slim
Italian driver, whose reputation
equaled Stanton's own, as he turned
away.
The Mercury car was out already.
One of the factory men cranked It.
after Stanton took his seat Floyd was
moving to take the place beside. when
his eyes fell on the drivers bandaged
wrist.
What's up?" Stanton demanded, at
the exclamation.

Slightly. l cranked an ATLANTA

The mechanician stopped with one
foot on the car, looking at him.
81 set my spark forward and went
around in front and cranked up and
wrenched my arm" Stanton explicitly
repeated.
Floyd regarded him blankly, then
slowly dissolved into a smile Of hui
morous comprehension and stepped
into the car.
81 had no right to ask, Of course,
he agreed. Il beg your pardon.
Curious people should expect to hear
nonsense"
Floyd believed himself put off with
an obvious tale, as one reproves a
too-importunate child, so impossible
he considered such carelessness. And
Stanton wholly conceded with his
Judgment. Only, the fact remained
The little episode had relieved the
atmosphere, however. and restored
naturalness of speech. They shot down
the course, in the sweet country air,
and the days work had commenced.
Then Stanton had his first exhibition
of what Floyd called tuning up his
motor.
Got her all the way up?" shouted
the mechanician, when they let out on
the first straight stretch.
Stanton nodded, fully occupied; the
speedometer was indicating eighty.
four miles an hour.
Stop her-she needs fixing"
1t was Floyd's hour of empire. Stan
ton brought his car to a halt in an ap-
propriate situation, and the mechani-
clan sprang out to investigate the UNI
hooded power-plant.
Nov we'll try. She is good for

ANIMAL AND FLOWER RESERVE
Kangaroo Island for a Preservation
of Australian Species Of
Wild Life,

Kangaroo island, which is situated
some six hours steaming from AIDE
laide, the capital of South Australia, is
regarded as an ideal place in which
to preserve permanently animal and
botanical species distinctive of the
Australian content. AT present ITS
square miles on the island are utilized
as a fauna and fora reserve and 1t is
now suggested that the area should be
considerably increased. Certain islands
in various lakes have been set apart
as bird sanctuaries, close seasons for
different kinds of birds are proclaimed
and in various other ways efforts are
made to prevent the destruction of the
native fauna and flora.
Recently the attention of the South
Australian commission of crown lands
was drawn to the desirableness Of pro-
tecting the opossum, which he had as
certained is now being destroyed in
large numbers for the sake of it's skin
for which there is a great market.
To prevent the wholesale destruc
ton of the marsupial and also to give
power to the state government to pro-
tect other native animals from time to
time as occasion may require, the com
mission has directed that a bill shall
be prepared for introduction into par
Lament at an early date to provide for
the protection of wild animals.-Lon-

RI WOULD BE OUT OF PLACE

A special TO the Times-Union from
Washington says: ut is not often
that republican members of Congress
ask that speeches of democrats be in
serted in the Congressional Record,
but this is what happened here today
Congressman Austin of Tennessee,
republican,, read the speech of Rep
resentative Frank Clark made at
Oeala on July 4 and was so much
pleased with it that today he asked
and received unanimous consent that
i be printed in the Record in its en-
tirety. This is big honor for the
Florida congressman.
Mr.. cIark's speech was printed in
several of the Florida papers. It
greatly advertised Mr.. Clark and it
somewhat advertised Ocala. It was
a very fine speech, and is worthy of a
place in any newspaper or magazine
IN the United States, but it has no
more business in the Congressional
Record than Anthony's Grafton at the
funeral of Caesar. The Star thinks
that, as good democrat, Mr.. Clark
should object to having his Oca1a
speech, or any other irrevelant mat
ter. published in the Record, which
claims to be simply and solely re-
cord of the public business.

Mechanics big Cartercar. They made
the run from Ocala to Lake City in
eight hours, which was almost as
good as they could have done by rail.
Roads from OcaIa to Gainesville
we're good, from Gainesville to the
Columbia county line tolerable, but
from there on they were fierce The
crops along the road were magnifi-
cent. and the party was particularly
impressed by the cotton in Columbia
county and the corn all the way. They
admired the splendid university
buildings at Gainesville. The people
of Lake City were most kind to the
delegates, of whom there were some
900, besides hundreds of other out of
town visitors. DR.. McClane of course
was interested in the superb music
given by the 14-piece orchestra, and
says there will be thirty-five at the
next meeting. Governor Trammell
addressed the encampment on the
fourth, and in other ways it was a
most interesting occasion.
