100000 bushels; potatoes, 8,740,000
bushels; hay about 100000 tons and
its apples to 100000 barrels.
Last year, according to the report,
the winter wheat in this state yielded
about 30,636,000 bushels and spring
wheat about 19,758,00O bushels. The
oat crop was about 13,750,OOO bushels,
the barley crop about 100000 bush.
els, potatoes about 7,263,0O0 bushels.
hay 1,86S,000 tons and the apple crop
2,433, 900 barrels. One barrel Of apples

World Crops for 1915 Less.

The latest report of the Information
al Institute of Agriculture indicates
that the worlds crops this year will
be less than last, but that harvest
prospects are better than the average
in the five-year period, 19O9-1913.
The estimate of the total wheat crop
this year for the seven most impor-
tant countries is 396,510,000 Quantals
IA quintal equals 22O.46 pounds), or
76,734,o0O quintals less than last year.
For the United States the wheat total
is estimated at 207,0O0,000 quaintals,
or Is per cent less than last year.
For India, 97,oo0,oo0 quaintals, or is
per cent less than last year; Italy,
100000 quintals, or IL per cent in
crease over last year; Spain, 42,0O0,-
900 quintals, compared with 100000
quintals average for the preceding
five-year period. The harvests of Tu-
mis- and Japan are estimated at less
than last year.
Estimates for Germany and Austro-
Hungary were not obtainable.s
Barley prospects are everywhere
poorer than last year, as are also those
for oats and rye. The estimate OF
the Brazilian coffee crop is slightly
under last year.

BREvITIEs.

July broke all records this year for
the amount Of customs collections in
the Trail, B. c., customs house-and in
many places July has the reputation
of being dull month generally in
business. Collector Archie E. Camp
bell states that his office took in for
dutiable goods $9,643. In July, 1916
a year ago-the office collected just
$2,072, so that the total this year is
more than 400 per cent of an increase
over the same time last year. Free
goods were also imported to Trail to
a value of $3s,331 in July, which is
also large increase over the amount
of free goods brought to Trail in July
last year. This year in July the value
of goods on which duty was collected
in July was $5s,s7O, also big increase
over the same period of last year. In
land revenue collections for last month
were $1,000.
During July the Western Pine Lurn-
Der company at Grand Forks, B. G.,
shipped 100000 feet of lumber, rep
resenting total of $4,000. 1t has or
ders now for so cars more and has had
to turn down like number. These
conditions arise from the present ex-
cellent crop predictions in the prairie
province, and to the great improve
ment in the lumber industry general
ly. About so men are now employed
at the mill, which is being run at full
capacity.

According to persons in the vicin-

was standing still near the car barn

Of Angus Warner, motorman, crashed
down steep grade and into it. Both
cars were demolished. Shortly before
