WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative creameries Show
Tremendous Increase IN
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at hrst an
nual convention Of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro-
sress Of 1915 which shows great In
crease in the butter production OF the
cooperative creameries amounting TO
100000 lbs. He also said the I'M
provement In quality Is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter In outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 81 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued BY
the Manitoba department Of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had a very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase Of over 1000. 600 lbs. Of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. In
crease In dairy butter and over 25,OOO
lbs. increase In the cheese output. The
increase Of the total value of milk and
milk products was over $427, 600. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was ALSO. IA lbs.
and 1t brought an average price OF 23c
per h.; Of creamery butter 5.S39667
lbs. were produced which commanded
29c per Id. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 726, 725 lbs. which sold at
an average price Of 15c-the total
value Of these three products is given
as $2,76O, 698, In addition to which the
milk produced Is valued at $325,659
and the cream at $15S,827, the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per lib. and Of sweet cream at &c
per ID. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry it is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now Is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 190,132
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop Is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 1876 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number Of cattle in the province
is given as 631,O05, which is an in
crease Of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement In
the dairy industry. On Feb. ii, 1t was
| announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
| Cardston, Alberta, creamery In 1915
paid its patrons a rate of 27hc per
Id. for butter fat and had a profit re-
naming over all expenses of 1854.
| The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $61 III and manu-
| featured $4,000 lbs. butter and 1900
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2SA cents
The development of the dairy indus
try of Northern Alberta is we'll indi-
Gated by the growth of a prominent
dairy business here. which in 1915 pro-
duced 2,525.0OO lbs. butter, an increase
of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found market In all
parts of Canada and this year will en-
ter the export trade. Advertisement.

undersea Liner May Be Preparing to
Make Dash Into Boston--Navy De-
partment Announces That No
u. 8. Submarines Are Near.

Portland. Me-. Aug. 9.-Every point
along the Maine coast is watching
sharply for two submarines, believed
to be foreign vessels and possibly the
long expected German merchantmen
Bremen and oonsort.
The strange vessels were reported
four miles off Cross island, near Ma
chias, and close to Canadian waters
by coast guard lookout, who said
they were proceeding at top speed
toward the west.
Later a thick fog made observation
impossible.
Tho lookout. Lowell w. Dunn, was
unable to distinguish the nationality
of the strange craft which he saw, but
was insistent that they were subma-
rines. Capt. Fred Il. Small, In com.
mand OF the station at Cross island,
was equally certain that Dunn's state
ment was correct.
Prepares to Slip Into Boston.
1t was suggested that tug towing
whaleback vessel might have ac-
counted for the statement of Dunn,
Both Of them, 1t was argued, might
have been lost to view In the fog and
not because they had submerged.
The Navy department announced
that no American submarines were off
the Maine coast.
Information that no British subma-
rines we're cruising In these waters
seems to create the impression In the
minds Of many marine observers that
the Bremen was lodging about close
to the three-mile limit, preparing to
slip into Boston. Another possibility
considered was that the coast guard
crew might have seen the Deutsch.
land. driven out OF her course, or else
sticking closely to shore.

in several verbal clashes with Asst
States Att'ys Frank Johnston and
Henry Berger.
In. answer to a direct inquiry from
Johnston, the mayor said he never re-
stored saloon licenses without the
o. K. of Chief Healey. Later he quail
flied this by saying that very often he
restored licenses at the request of
ministers and prominent business
men.
Many times" said the mayor
ministers have called on me in the
interest of saloonkeepers who had
lost their license and told me they
believed the man had been punished
enough. I would then notify the
chief and ask for his opinion. When
he believed the man would behave I
would restore the license.
''MT. Mayor, is there ever a single
instance where you restored a license
without first consulting the chief"
asked Johnston.
mot that>I remember" replied the
mayor.
did you ever have an Independent
investigation before you restored a
icense?"

lice"
Did you ever consult any one else
besides the chief on reservations?

Charley Fitzmorris, and the commit

had a great deal to do with the re-
stOration. If he said everything look

"Now the mayor shouted.
Johnston then tripped the mayor
and made him admit that in the
power of revocation he alone had the
only effective weapon against sa-
loonkeepers who violate the law.
Thompson admitted he could revoke
a license for any reason, but said he
only used the weapon after careful
thought.
The mayor took up a great deal of
time reading his daily crime report,
by which ne sought to proverbs
claim that HeaIy was the best police
chief Chicago ever had. He said
crime was steadily being decreased
in Chicago.

ger went into the record of restora-
lions taken from the chiefs files. On
the backs of the documents, were
written names of politicians in such
a Way as to indicate that influence
