There Were 423 Passengers Aboar.
Great Transatlantic White Star
Liner When Disaster Occurred
WERE ANY AMERICANS ON lT7


Star liner Arabic. which sailed Wed
ncsday from Liverpool for New York
has been sent to the bottom off Fas
net. on the south coast of Ireland, moi
far from the point where the Lu~i
tania was sunk by German submn
rine.
The White Star company says that
80 persons were saved. This leave-
iS unaccounted for.
\ message from Queenstown Ia
the press association says the Arabic
was iorpedoed without warning.
. Such reports as were available in
London early this morning indicated
that a large number of the 423 per
sons on board may have been lost
The first reports were that all of the
passengers and crew had been res
cued by another steamer. Subs,
quenily, however, II was reported
that the Arabic had gone down in ! !
minutes. raising the question whether
il would have been possible for all Ia
leave the vessel in that time. II is
said that - or 10 boat loads were
making for Queenstown.
The White Star liner. after first
announcing that there were 40 per.
sons aboard. later gave ont a cor
rect settlement. giving the total mum
ber as 423. There were l52 second
cabin passengers, IS in steerage aud
n crew of 2I2.
The steamer Magnolia, reports by
wireless that the steamship Dunslc,
was torpcdoed, but Mt the time tn,
message was received she was still
afloat and was picking up surviy.
ors.
Early this evening, when nine hour.
had elapsed since the sinking Of the
steamship, the fate of the persons at
board was unknown.
The latest word from Queenstown
was that il was feared that ther,
was great loss of life. On the other
hand, dispatches received by the tive
new sagencies in London said that
apparently the greater part of those
on hoard had been saved.
Main hope was pinned on the IT.
port that Il steamship was proceeding
to Queenstown with about 400 per
SONS aboard.
Berlin, Germany, Aug. l9-Begin
ming of an Austro- German lombard
menl to capture the important Rus
sian fortress of Brest l.itovsk, was
announced officially here today. The
statement says that the outer posi-
tions of the fortress near Rokitno
trated.
Announcement also was made OF
the capture of two forts north Of
Novogeorcievsk. which has been in
vested by the Germans for several
days. IN taking these forts 1000
prisoners and l2J cannon were cap
tured.
London. Eng. Aug. l9-Russian
reports do not concede the total
loss of Kovno. asserting the Germans
have only captured the Notifications
on the left bank of 1he Nieman
while positions ON the right bank
are still held by the defendres.
South of the Bug. the Germans are
now before Brest Litvosk. which
is Russia's greatest military station
anr railroad center of much impor-
tance. Novogeorgievsk, which has
been invested for the last ten days
is in immediate danger, as the Ger
mans are making constant progress
Reports from both sides indicate
that desperate battle may now be
under way along line parallel to the
Bialystok- -Bres Litvosk railroad.

THE GROWTH OR
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 rail-
way mileage In the Province Of Al
berta has been doubled In three years.
The present mileage is 4,097. In all
OF the settled districts there is ample
railway privileges. The rates are gov
erned by a Dominion Railway Commits
sion, and in the exercise OF their pow
ers they not only control the rates.
giving fair equality 10 both railway
and shipper, but form a court 70 hear
complaints of any who may desire to
lodge the same.
In the matter OF education no better
Instance OF the advancement that is
taking place can be given than that
found in the information to hand Uat
attendance at the University OF Al
berta has increased 1000 per cent in
hFe years, and Is now thoroughly rep
resentative Of all settled portions OF
the Province. The students in attend
ancs are from sixty-one distinct dis
tricts.
Then as to the prosperity which fol-
lows residence in Western Canada J.
Is. Edward Of Blaclde, Alta, gives
splendid testimony. He writes, In
the spring Of 1907 / first came 70 this
locality from the State of Iowa, Cass
County. and located on a quarter sec
ton Of land near Blackie. Since COM
ing here l have been engaged in mixed
farming, which ! have found 10 be
more profitable than where ] formerly
lived. On coming here my worldly
holdings we're small besides having a
family to care for ] now own three
quarter sections, sixty head Of cattle,
twenty head OF horses and forty head
OF hogs, without encumbrance.
During the seven years I have not
had a crop fail. My best crop Of oats
averaged ninety bushels per acre, with
a general yield Of thirty-fve bushels
and upward. My best wheat crop aver
aged forty-three bushels per acre.
When / have had smaller yields per
acre / have found that it has been
due to improper cultivation. The win
ters here, although at times the wealth
er is cold, find as a whole are very
agreeable. The summers are warm,
but not sultry. The summer nights
are cool and one is always assured OF
q good nights rest. My health has
been much better, as I do not suffer
from catarrh since coming here. I
have no land for sale, and am not
wishing to make any change, but
would be pleased to answer any ems
uuiries concerning this locality. y."-Ad'
