TORONTO, June 16.--Ontario's largest

Company. shows by It's annual state
ment. issued last week. some of the
dihiculties incident to the transition
period. This has been a highly prosper.
GUS company during the war. having a
chain OF mills in different sections of the
country and being able to export much

Its distribution Of profits has been on

though 1t cannot be said that It's stock

tain until European trade settles down

even the spectators have had in mind
the uncertainties OF q business built up
on a war basis.
Though last years profits of Ss2s.l0b
are about $4,000 below the profits of
the previous year, IL Is pointed out that
In the last three months of the COM
pany's fiscal year--or the frst three
months OF tho present calendar year
the mills were all closed because the
British Government had temporarily
ceased buying nour. That condition was
afterward remedied.
The mills are now running to capacity.
and orders from time TO time seem to In
sure reasonable business for the future.
At the same time the companys bal
ance sheet reveals some of the disadyan-
tages OF the slack period. For example.
it's inventory on March 81 stood at So
$4,000. compared with $4,000 900 the
year before, and its advances from the
bank were correspondingly high at 81
$4,000, while the year before IL had
cash in the bank amounting to $4,000
Tho explanation of this apparently
awkward position lies in the lack OF
market for the period following the armi-
stice. During the fighting months the
mills were turning out flour as rapidly as
possible to feed hungry Europe, and at
the armistice there was a big accumula-
ton which had not been shipped. This
accumulation remained until the British
Government again came into the market
In April OF this year. Since that time
the inventory has been reduced, IL ia
understood, by $4,000 and a similar
reduction has been made in the advances
by the bank.

"Men Determined to See
That Right Was Done"

1T Asst summer the railways or
Canada were threatened with
very serious labor troubles;
wage adjustments were made and
rates were raised. but the individual
difficulties due to unrest did not en-
tirely disappear. The railways, in
conjunction with the Government and
the labor unions, adopted a course
quite without precedent in the history
OF Canada. Their heads sat around
table. discussed the best methods
TO adopt. and in the end constituted
what il known as Railway Board Of
Adjustment No. L. composed of six
representatives of the railway unions
knd six railway executives. The
board was empowered to adjust and
make binding upon the parties con.
cerned all disputes arising between
railway employees and railway COM

INTEREST REVIVED
IN FRUIT GROWING
More Attention Paid to Indus.
try in Canada.

OTTAWA, June l6.-oue OF the most
encouraging features OF the Canadian
fruit industry to-day Is the revival OF
interest on the past of growers in their
orchards. From a number OF districts
II Is learned that more attention Is being
paid to spraying. pruning and cultiya-
tion than ever before. Particularly is
tEls go IN the case OF orchards which
nave been more or less neglected during
the war. In the Province of Nova SEQ
Tia spraying Is reported to be more
thorough than at any time since 1916.
IL is not difficult to account for this
Improvement in methods Of orchard
management. During the past three
years prices have been very satisfac-
tory and have been maintained with
but little nuctuation. In 1918 the prices
obtained for small fruits established a
record which, Judging from early offers
or canning factories, promises to be
eoualled this year
Then. too, the removal OF the embargo
on the export OF apples to Great
Britain has had a tremendous stimulat-
Ing influence. Comparatively few
shippers were able to take advantage
last year of the high prices paid for
Canadian apples in England. but with
this market practically assured for next
season many growers will do their ut
most to produce fruit OF high quality.
Ontario fruit growers received a Sc
rious setback as the result OF the severe
winter of 19l7-l91s, and might well
have been discouraged. II the enthusi-
asm now indicated continues. much re-
planting may be hoped for In those sec,

Never was the fruit industry IN great

prices for their products.

WINNIPEG'S WATER
PLANT BIG SUCCESS
Huge Project Completed Dur
ing Period of War.

The Greater Winnipeg water project
"a scheme first officially discussed in
l9l2-r-is now an accomplished fact
Shoal Lake, at the northwest angle OF the
Lake OF the Woods, having a drainage
OF about $50 square miles and a water
surface OF l07 square miles, is the source
OF Winnipeg's new water supply. A
conduit ninety-six and a half miles In
length has been constructed, capable OF
delivering to the Winnipeg district S.
100000 gallons OF water every twenty
four hours. The average daily con-
sumption OF water last year was H.
100000 gallons. The water is deliv-
cred to its destination by the scientific
use OF the force of gravity. the source
OF Nipply being 2s4 feet above the level
or Winnipeg. The cost OF the project up
to December 81. l9ls--at which time II
was practically completed-was sl4,-
s22.444
The aqueduct Is one OF the major en-
cheering fcats on the American con-
tinent. Only four other communities
have gone greater distance TO secure
their water supply. Complete designs
for all structures were made in Win
nipeg. and the whole scheme has been
essentially local undertaking. Fur
thermore, II was financed and COM
pleted during a period OF war
One Of the main reasons for the con-
struction OF the aqueduct was the ne
oessty OF obtaining a permanent supply
OF soft water. The old we'll supply pro-
vided very hard water. which, although
quite pure. and pleasant to the taste,
was destructive in its action upon boil
ers, plumbing and heating apparatus.
In consequence. some Industries were
prevented from commencing operations
in Winnipeg but now that the soft
water Is available It is expected tho
district will att act many new indus
tries.

JAPANESE GRAB FISHERIES.
Calgary Writer Protests Against

Herald, boosting the natural resources
OF British Columbia, says that 1t must
not be forgotten that since the white

turEed their attention to fishing as an
industry worthy OF pursuit, had it not
been for the japanese there would have
been but little fish caught on the west
coast of late wears. But conceding this
fact and giving the Japanese fisherman
all the credit which is due him, one can
perhaps be forgiven for wondering what
would happen II any considerable body
Of British citizens should emigrate TO
Japan and set themselves TO obtain con-
troll OF any industry. always supposing
that there could be any such of which
the Japanese as a nation were neglectfIl.

troll the output Of that Industry. And yet

dences of Reconstruction.

remarkable example OF the strides
reconstructive surgery for wounded SOL
diers has taken during the present war
was furnished lately in Montreal
when four military hospital special trains
passed through that city, bearing re-
turned oonvalescent soldiers
Tho majority OF these men were sur
gical cases, most OF whom had been hit
IN the head or face, and had been kept
Tor months or even years in the British
military hospitals having their wounds
tended, and their faces reconstructed
where there had been mutilation by
shell fragments or shrapnel and bullet
wounds.
Many men had rebuilt noses, the orig
nails having been either completely or
partly shot away So skiltully had the
army surgeons rebuilt these that the
victims faces seemed perfectly normal.
A number OF others had lost ears, and
these had been replaced by grating and
reconstruction work so that the injuries
caused by the enemy shells had been
remedied to such extent that nothing
abnormal could easily be detected, and
the majority OF these men had normal
hearing.
Other men had suffered severe In
1uries TO their cheek bones and Jaws, the
latter hurts involving, with many the
reconstruction Of the bone framework of
their jaws. and the inserting OF artit-
cial teeth-the work with some OF the
jaw cases involving an extraordinary
amount OF rebuilding.
There was an infinite variety of head
injuries among the returned soldiers,
some OF the more severe being matter
for marvel that men could sustain such
wounds and still survive to undergo
surgical reconstruction, which eventually
returned their faces to normal condi-
lions. except those who had suffered eve
injuries, or who had had too much of
their features shot away to make COM
plete restoration possible.
