THE GROWTH OF
WESTERN CANADA
Increase in Railway Mileage
School Attendance and
Population.

Some idea of the extent OF railway
construction in Western Canada can
be derived from the fact that the rai
way mileage in the Province Oh al
herta has been doubled in three years.
The nresent mileage is 4,O97. IN an
~ the settled districts there is ample
railway privileges. The rates are gov
erned by a Dominion Railway Commls-
sion and in the exercise of their pow
ers they not only control the rates.

KAISER GIVES PEACE TERMS.
Dutch Envoy Arrives in Washington
With German Proposals.


With German Proposals.
Washington, June 9.-Germany,
through a special Dutch envoy, is ask
ing President Wilson to transmit pro-
posed terms of peace to the allied
powers.
The envoy is Jonkheer van Gheel
Gildermeester, a member of the court
of Queen Wilhelmina of the Neither
lands and connected with banking cir
cles in Holland
He came to Washington on Friday
equipped with the peace terms of Ger
many, which that country has been
publishing to the world for months, as
follows:
Evacuation of Belgium and North
ern France.
Reconstruction of the kingdom of
Poland.
Freedom of the seas.
"Cession of a strip of Alsace and
Lorraine to France in recognition of
German sovereignty over Luxem-
bourg.
Acquisition of African colonies by
Germany.
Restoration to Germany of all col
onies held by that country prior to the
war, with the exception of Kiau-
chau, which is to be disposed of as
Japan sees fit"
So far as official action is concerned
it is not believed here that President
Wilson would be inclined to take it,
since he has received no official COM
munication as to Germany's desire for
peace on the terms stated.

butter, pinch of salt. Form into cones.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, June 26,-(Speoial.) )-Liver- pool continues under the influence of the bearish view in Great Britain that the vis- ible supply is so large that the market must decline. Here we decline. but slow ly, because of the heavy rains in north ern Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas and increasing complaints that the boil weevil is more numerous than in many seasons. While these advices check selling, they do not decrease the bearish view that as there are no forward sales this season of cotton as usual when the crop comes to market. it will press heavily upon the market. The entire world has gone upon cash basis for everything. There are smaller supplies on hand for every ar- ticle from frying pans to cotton goods than ever before, and if there are no for ward sales made and no future business done with the distant portions of the world there is in this very fact potential buying power far beyond estimate which may, and probably will, become buyers of cotton and cotton goods

COTTON MARKET
 STILL DECLINES Little Fresh Buying Ap- parent-Support From
 Covering Shorts

New Orleans June 26.--In spite of bull fish weekend figures and too much rain in tho belt, cotton stood at the decline throughout the session today, closing within a point of the lowest at a net de- cline of to points. Support was almost wholly from covering shorts, little fresh long buying being apparent. Lack of bullish support was generally attributed to expectations of bearish figures in the coming bureau reports on acreage and condition.
 Liverpool was considerably lower than due, which opened the local market at a decline. The tone was steadied by the wet weather over the belt and the good showing made by weekend statistics. Private reports from Oklahoma pictured the crop of that state as being in a bad way through grass and the inability of farmers to cultivate. Texas complained of the boil weevil
 Mill takngs for the week were larger than expected, Hester putting them at 21s.000 bales, against 156,000 this week last year, while Liverpool's spot sales of Fl 900 bales against only 2S,000 this week last year caused much comment. The only eff feet of these figures, however, was to steady the market.

MODERATE DEMAND FOR RAIL WAY SHARES United States Rubber Adds
 Three Points to Set back

New York, June 25.-Stdength in invest ment shares and renewed weakness in secondary railway issues and United States Rubber furnished the opposing movements of today's brief but fairly estimated session. Buying of Reading was the most impressive feature, transac- Hons in that stock aggregating about t0,000 shares at the maximum gain of ooints. Other high-grade railway shares were in moderate demand at advances of a point or whereabouts. and United States Steel. Amalgamated Copper and American Smelting together with a few war spe- cialties also reflected absorption.
 United States Rubber added 3 points to its recent sharp setback, declining to 51h against e61s at the weeks opening, on persistent reports that the dividend is to be cut if not entirely passed at next weeks meeting of the directors.
 Routine news included another break in Italian exchange. Exchanges on London also fell off, likewise francs, but neither was at recent record quotations.

SLIGHT RALL|ES| IN | EARLY TRADING
Further Decline in Cotton Market, Which Closes
 Steady

New York, June 26.-There was a fur ther decline in the cotton market here today. with prices closing steady at net loss of 3 to g points.
 Liverpool was again lower than due, and the local market opened steady at a de- cline of to points under liquidation and scattering local pressure October contracts sold at 9.62c on the call, and seemed to attract some trade buying which was attributed to splnners calling, or fixing prices. This demand proved suf- ficient to cause slight rallies during the early trading, particularly as there was some talk of too much rain in Oklahoma, but no aggressive support was in evidence. and prices soon turned easier, selling about to points lower, and at the low est point reached so far this month. Gov erng by near month shorts caused slight rallies at the close, but last prices were at practically the low point of the day on later deliveries. The detailed weather reports from Oklahoma showed rather general rains. but the precipitation was plaints from that section the crop news was considered generally favorable.
