BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re-
ported of the wheat crop OF Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the esti.
mate Of an average yield over the
| three western provinces of upward of
rs bushels per acre. There is no
portion Of that great west of $4,000
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price Of
the land out of this years crop of
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department of the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as well.
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language Of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased ton
mage Of the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The G. P. R. earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
of $762,000 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings of the corresponding week
of 1918, when the Western wheat crop
made new record for that date. The
increase in G. P. r. earnings for the
corresponding week of that year was
only 1851 900, or less than half of the
increase reported this year. The
grain movement in the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources of the Canadian roads as
never before. despite their increased
facilities. The C. P. R. is handling 1000
cars per day, a new record. The
| G. T. r. and the c. N. r. are also max
ing new shipment records. The other
day the w. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter of the Canadian feet on the
Upper Lakes. brought down a cargo Of
476.315 bushels, a new record for
| Canadian shipping. Records are go
| ing by the board" in all directions this
| fall, due to Canada's record crop. The
| largest Canadian wheat movement
| through the port of New York ever
known is reported for the period up
to October 18th, when since shipments
of the new crop began in August,
| 4,265, ,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England. France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
of American wheat from the same port
in the same period. And. be 1t remem'
bered, Montreal. not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with Montreal.-Ad.

Salt Lake City.-Six Swedish girls,

pallbearers at his funeral Sunday.
Each girl wore red sash, which was

DES SUNK BY A SUBMARINE
AND 500 SOLDIERS KILLED.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, Nov. ga telegram from
Constantinople, by way Of Bucharest,
says the first contingent of German
troops has reached that city and that
Field Marshal Won Mackensen is ex-
pected there this week.
The entente allies have demanded
that Greece either join with them and
or demobilize, and, to impress King
Constantine that they mean what
they say. the allies have declared n
commercial blockade of the Hellenic
Empire, according to dispatches from
Athens.
There Is no confirmation of these
statements available here but it is
certain that Earl Kitchener. the
British war secretary, who had an
hours audience with the King of
Greece Saturday, and afterward saw
Premier Skouloudis, took firm stand
and told them what the allies could
and would do unless the demands
were conceded.
An Athens dispatch to the Times
says it is confirmed that the entente
powers have imposed restrictions on
Greek trade. The allied fleets, it is
added, have already begun searching
all steamers flying the Greek flag In
the 4Egean and the Mediterranean.
An Athens dispatch to the Havas
agency says: After Premier Skoulou-
dis called on Earl Kitchener, the
British secretary OF war, at the Brit
ish legation. the field marshal had a
two hours conference with Gen.
Dousmanis, chief of the Greek gen.
eral staff. and Col. Metaxas, chief as
sistant of the general staff, at which
the officers accompanying Earl
Kitchener were present"
The French troop ship "Calvades'
has been sunk by a submarine, ac-
cording to dispatches from Athens.
1t is estimated that 500 soldiers have
been killed.
1t is stated in German newspapers
that Albanian troops are trying to bar
the roads of retreat by concentrating
on the Serbian border.
The Bulgarian successes at Katchi'
max pass, Totovo and Babuna pass
have now been confirmed, anu tHe
Cussovo plateau, where the Serbians
expected to make last desperate re-
sistance, is now apparently open to
the invaders.
The fall of Monastir has not been
confirmed, and, according to latest
information, the Serbian army is ad'
vancing thence to meet the Bulgari-
ans, but, endangered as it is from
three different quarters-Babuna
pass. Brod and Kruzvo-there is
slight possibility of its holding out in

Wreck
Of The "WaIIy Flyer Near
Brink Haven
Engineer And firemen Injured
When Locomotive Turn.
ed Over

Brink Haven, O., April 20-Two
were injured and many lives were en-.
dangered when the afternoon Wal.
honding passenger train, bound from
Coshocton to Mansfield, struck huge
rock Monday afternoon at o'clock
just south of Cavallo. The locomo-
tive left the track and rolled on it's
side against the high bank at one
side of the rack. The baggage coach
left the track but did not turn over.
John Rees, engineer, of Mansfield,
was badly hurt when he jumped from
his cab. Frank Roth, fireman, also Of
Mansfield, was bruised and scratched
about the body when he jumped.
According to the story told by Rees,
the train was travelling at the rate of
about 25 miles an hour. Just south of
here, before entering Cavallo, there Is
a sharp curve and on one side of the
track is an overhanging bluff. A
huge rock, weighing several tons, fell
from the bluff squarely on the track,
and, on account OF the curve in the
track, the engineer failed to see the
danger until the train was almost on
the rock.
He shouted to the fireman and to.
together they jumped just an instant
before the engine crashed into the
rock and turned over. The baggage
coach was badly damaged but the
baggage man escaped injury. Pas
sengers were badly shocked by the
sudden stop which Jared some of the
seats loose. Several passengers were
thrown out of their seats and badly
bruised but fortunately the seats did
no pile up and the coaches did not
telescope.
The telegraph Office at Warsaw
was notified and a freight engine was
sent to the scene. The passenger
coaches were detoured over the C. A.
T. c. to Brink Haven and thence to
Mansfield. At Mansfield the two VIC
times were given medical attention
and an examination showed that
neither had sustained serious injur-
les.
The Mansfield wreck crew was
called and worked all night in an ef-
fcrt to clear the track but the engine
had not been righted.

At The lglef JcWelry Store
Tuesday Morning
LavdIIiereS, Watch Gases And
Rings Are Stolen
Entrance To Store Effected
By Breaking Down Door

Five lavallieres, eight watch cases
and two dozen rigns was the haul
made by burglars or a burglar some
time Tuesday morning in the Ned H.
ger jewelry store on South Main
street. There is an unusual absence
OF clues.
Entrance to the store was affected
through Plum alley by breaking down
"a door which opens into the yard
back of the store. A window in the
rear end of the jewelry store was
t,en forced and, further on, door
opened by breaking the lock.
4 light was burning in the back of
the store and the precaution of turn
ing this off was either not taken or
the gas was re-lighted after the crime
had been committed, as the light was
still burning Tuesday morning.
The robbery was very daring as
the plunder was taken from the show
window, it having occupied a promi-
nent place in the front of the window
Two clocks were knocked down, but
these were in the back of the window
and casual passerby would not have
noticed this arrangement.
Escape was made by the mode of
entrance and the burglary was not
discovered until Mr.. Andrew Proper
opened the store Tuesday morning.
The person entering the store must
have been slight of build as the
height to which the back window was
raised was quite small and there was
number of articles piled up on the
window sill, none of which was dis
tllrbed.
There are several clues which are
quite meager, but the police are fol-
lowing these up to the limit and may
possibly be able to shed some light on
the burglary.
The loss by the burglary will run
over $3.50. No insurance at all was
carried by Mr.. Tiger, so this means a
total loss, unless the articles are re-
covered
