istence of Gold Under Streets OF

A Philadelphia assayer, Walter
Scott by name. recently took several
handfuls of sand from a street exca
walton near Independence hall. and
after putting it through an assaying
process, extracted small quantity OF
gold. He declared there was enough
gold under Philadelphia. in his opin

One Hundred and Sixth street and
Fifth avenue for many years. One OF

divining rod. He talked about its IN
erring certainty in the pointing out
OF metal for many years until he could
seem to talk of nothing else. and ne
got to be known as the Rod Crank
One afternoon several years ago
Hartshorn sailed forth from his home

the Mount St. Vincent House of Re-
freshment. Several boys noticed
Hartshorn walk along the path to the
east of the tavern and hold out his
divining rod. Presently he was seen
to stop and. after looking around to
see If he was observed. stick small
stake into the grass.
One of the boys Swallowed him for
the remainder OF the day and told his
father. That night aHartshorn was fol-
lowed to the place of the stake and
they saw the Rod Man fill pail with
sand. The news spread the next day
or two that Hartshorn had found gold.
The Rod Man never denied 1t up to

HIGH PRICES
GOOD CROPS
And Good Demand for All Farm
Products.

It is no new experience for settlers
located in a fertile country such as
Western Canada, where lands may be
bought at very reasonable prices, to
harvest a crop that in one season pays
the entire cost of their farm. Undoubt.
eddy this was the experience of many
farmers during 1915, but one instance
may be quoted. A settler who came
to Canada from the United States
some years ago decided to add to his
holdings by buying an adjoining quar-.
ter section near his home at Warner,
at $1,000 an acre, with terms spread
over period of years. He got the
land into good state of cultivation
and last spring put the whole quarter
threshed he found that it only took
half the wheat on the farm to pay the
whole purchase price of it; in short
a single years crop paid the cost oil
the land, paid all the expenses of o.
Grafton and left him a handsome sur.
plus as profit. This settler had some
adjoining land, and his whole wheat
crop for the season amounted to
over $4,000 bushels. He is now plan.
ming to obtain some sheep and invest
his profits in live stock which will as.
sure him good living irrespective Of
what the season may happen to be.
Canada's financial position is ex.
cellent. All speculation has been elm.
mated, and trading is done on a cash
basis, with restricted credit.
Detailed figures of Canada's trade
for twelve months ending October 81
show how the war is forcing Canadian
trade into new channels. One of the
most extraordinary changes is in COM
merce with the United States. A
couple of years ago Canada imported
from the United States two or three
hundred million dollars worth of
goods more than she exported. The
balance of trade was all with the
United States. The balance is rapid
iy disappearing, and the present out
look is that by the end of this year
Canada will have exported to the
United States more than she has inn
ported.
The figures for the past four years
are illuminating. They are as fol-
lows:
Exports. Imports.

1915 80. 314,11S,774 SAG, 569, 1874
Four years ago, in 1912, the balance
OF trade in favor of the United
States was no less than two hundred
and sixty-seven millions, and this
year, the balance is reduced to only
thirty-two millions. The figures are
extraordinary and reflect the changed
and new conditions in Canada. 1t
looks as IL for the first time in nearly
half century this year Canada will
sell more to the United States than
she will buy from the Americans

STORAGE MEN IN
COMBINATION To
KEEP UP PRICES
Commissioner of Weights and
Measures for New York
Makes Charge That Trust
in Food Products Exists,
t.v pos4na Jousr.u SPECIAL rsAstp wrsu


New York, Nov 30-The existence
of an interesting combination of cold
storage houses to keep up food prices
was charged today by Joseph Harti-
gan, commissioner of weights and
measures, who as secretary of Mayor
Mitchels common food supply is in
vestigating the cost of living with a
view to effecting relief for consumers.
"There is a so-called cold storage
trust" Mr.. Hartigan said.
Its membership comprises seventy
five cold storage warehouses in New
York. New Jersey and Connecticut. 1t
is believed that, to evade the laws of
the various states, it is made easy for
the owners of goods in one cold stor-
age warehouse to hold his goods in
one state until just before the time
expires for the goods to be released,
and then to move them to a warehouse
in another state and keep them there
as long as the law allows in that other
state.
Although the law in each state per
mits storage only for a limited time
ten months believe in the case of
eggs, it is possible, through the al
legged trust to keep goods in storage
three times that period. The law reg
ulating cold storage warehouses is a
joke from a national standpoint. If
the federal government were to take
under its cloak all the cold storage
houses in the country and make one
compressive law for them the evil
would be abated."

Serious Problem,

JOURNAL BFEGtAL ttNhEb WINE
Rnffalo. N. Y, Nov. 30.-All the
English newspapers of the city are to
increase their selling price tomorrow,
The two morning newspapers, the Elk
nress and the Courier, made the am
MANAGEMENT this morning and the
three afternoon papers, the Times, the
vews and the Enquirer, followed this
afternoon. All have agreed to accept
mo- returns. and the extra sporting
editions will be stripped of their vivid
hued covers.
The Increasing cost of white paper
Is the cause of the move to sell copies
Of the newspapers at least for what II
costs to produce them. 1t is under
stood that not one of the newspapers
has been able to get new paper con-
tract nor even an indication of the
price that will be asked.
Discussing the increase the Express
editorially says:
THE newspaper is commonly ana
correctly known as the cheapest thing
in the world. 1t is the only commod-
ity that is consistently sold below cast.
But the time has come for an Increase
in the price. Many others are destined
to go out of business ere the end or
the present era of high prices for ma
terals. Almost everything that enters
into the making of a newspaper has
doubled in price. The exceptions have
tebled. The hardest blow of all is
the growing scarcity and cost Of white
paper the most important Of our raw
materials. There have been days OF
late when the Express was not s7Te
twould get enough paper to print It's
edition at any price.
The news columns Of the Express
have been telling how in one city after
another the newspapers have gone up
IN price. With the rise of the cost Of
living is a rise of every cost of pro-
juction of a large newspaper. The
cost of white paper is two and three
times as much as it was under many
contracts now expired. SO also the
price Of ink has increased and OF
metals and of every one Of the ele-
ments in the mechanics of newspaper
creation"
The afternoon newspapers made the
announcement of the price increase
without editorial comment.
