The free press has received the following press despatch from Montreal the Rumor which gained currency some weeks ago that an English Syndicate was about purchasing a the flour Mills in Canada has gained new credence. The three principal milling companies Are Ogilvie a Lake of the Woods and Hudson Bay and they have already been secured. The combined output of the Mills controlled by these companies is barrels per and the Price named a nearly three million of dollars. In reply to further enquiries from Montreal regarding the matter the fallowing dispatch was received with the purchased three of the principal Canadian flour it is Learned the Transfer will be completed in two weeks. It u also Learned the English Syndicate is More or less of a pretence to enable Canadian Millers to form a Combine controlling the output of every barrel of flour in the country. The Mills will remain under Canadian management and we. Ogilvie is named for the position. It is pointed oat that one great advantage of this Combine will be to put an end to Competition of companies and consequent cutting prices by which it is estimated the of companies have been effected this year to the extent of some of the Millers in Western Ontario Are holding Back most stubbornly but in a few it is expected even they will be brought into line.

Boulanger s great Friend pays the City a visit. The objects of Hla journey the Sab i Wever a gentleman who had personal knowledge of what he was speaking about says two or three months ago a movement was set on foot in London to organize a Syndi Cate to Purchase the Canadian flouring Mills.

Those who had the privilege of hearing these ladies on their former visit will no doubt be pleased to Welcome them with bumper houses. They appeared at Ottawa a few weeks ago before an immense audience under the Patron axe of hit excellency the governor general of Canada and received a most enthusiastic reception. A fire occurred about one o clock tuesday in an unoccupied store and dwelling House at the Cornet of main Street and Burrow s Avenue. The brigade after much difficulty in reaching the locality owing to the bad state of the roads succeeded in extinguishing the flames when damage to the amount of 9150 had been done. It was quite evident that the building had been deliberately set on fire As it had been fired in four different places. A pile of paper in one closet had also been ignited but did not Burn the door having been closed thus preventing a draft. Chief code is making an investigation. The building is owned by a Man named John Snow a water Man. A Public meeting will be held in Calgary on oct. 23rd, to consider the question of establishing a Public Hospital in that the discussion at a preliminary meeting it was stated by Rev. Father Leduc thai so impera Tive had it seemed to the Mission authorities to establish a Hospital at an Early Day they had already decided to go Forward in the absence of any movement for a general Public Hospital in reply to a question As to whether the Mission authorities would go on with their own Hospital in the event of the people of Calgary moving promptly father Leduc stated that a decision on this Point would rest with the Bishop. It also came out that the claims of the sick on such a Hospital even at the present moment Are such As to justify immediate action. There is already a fund of about which could be applied to this purpose. The new reformatory at Brandon will no longer be tenant less. To Day or next Day there will arrive at its Gates a Young lad who will have the building All to himself until the next budding criminal a nabbed.

Alt. Derrick his travelling com Panion in route to British Columbia. The object of the count s visit to Canada Baa been the subject of Many contradictions. The Patrie of Montreal declares he u Here to prepare at a Safe distance another bowl angst coup. Count Dillon himself refuses to nay anything except he is Here strictly on general principles exercising the rights and privileges of an Ordinary tourist. He is credited How Ever with stating that he is in daily com Muni Cattou with the son of Boulanger s Phil Anthro Phio millionaire Duchess who found the Money to run the Boulanger machine. Several papers profess to know that the count s Only object is the acquisition of land for Boulanger and bowl ingists in British Columbia. One paper declares he had a con fab with Mercier before coming up to Ottawa on the subject of promoting immigration of French citizens from la Belle France to que Bec and special Grants of land and other in dec memento and that Mercier fell in with the project with abandon. Another statement is that in pursuance of the episcopal scheme emanating from mgr. Grandin and the ecclesiastics of Quebec and sanctioned presumably by members of the Federal Cabinet he has come Over in the interests of an extensive French colonization scheme in the Northwest. Mgr. Grandin it will be remembered appealed most pathetically to the predates of the East in a letter last Winter to encourage. French Immi Gration to the Northwest. It is understood that the count met members of. The govern ment in Ottawa and had Long consultations with several members of the govern ment on the subject of French immigration land Grants to French colonization societies.

That the Baptist Church la this land be Niru. Rev. Alex. Grant at the Baptist convention in Woodstock last Friday delivered an Able address on the work of thu baptists in Mani Toba. He showed the necessity of sending the very Best men from Ontario que Bec and maritime provinces to the great Field in the West. The Progress of the country has been seriously retarded by the Boom which was on Sonve Yean ago and which left the country in a terrible state and the people almost ruined and disheartened but he was glad to say that things at present looked much brighter and More promising than for some time past. Lack of enthusiasm in the he spoke of the Way the baptists have forwarded their cause in the great new Field incidentally referring at the same time to the condition of their cause in Windsor Essex Centre and churches had been to indifference and had fallen Back their cause in Windsor other places whose erected but owing Lack of enthusiasm and were in _ worse state than when no Church at All had been established. Now what we want is men and Money. Men who Are not afraid of toil and hardship. Men who fro out there for the Good of god s cause and not for the paltry sum of Money for i Tell Yon in some cases it is a very paltry sum they obtain. If Ontario Quebec and the maritime provinces would give us the men we Wank and should have we will guarantee to raise All the Money and not ask you for a cent but. He said the men wanted in the West were the very men who could not be spared in Ontario and other provinces and since you cannot give us the proper men do the next Best Thi the Money. We shall required Koto work out there of which the maritime prov inces have subscribed now Breth Ren we want you to Supply the other and if if possible also Send some Good men to help us in the work of furthering the Baptist cause in Manitoba and the great West. Norderto raise the asked for by brother Grant it was thought to be a Good plan for each pastor to appoint a Day on which the collections received would be applied to the fund but it was not decided and brother Grant was asked to have i conference with the secretaries of the different associations and report to the convention at a later Date. Not so bad As painted. O Sullivan s demand denied. The petition for an immediate trial set aside. The demand for a trial by Appeal of Van Cue of the Cronin murderers which messes. Forrest and Donahoe made such a Strong Effort to have come up in this term of the supreme court will not be heard until the next sitting of the supreme court. An Ottawa a dispatch says it will be remembered at the opening of this term of court attorney general Hunt entered a motion in the matter asking to have the ease continued owing to his inability to prepare for the trial the continuance was allowed and the Day following the entry of the order William s. Forrest and Daniel Donahoe representing o Sullivan came to this City and petitioned the court to have the continuance set aside. The Only Point to be settled to Day was As to the continuance which was allowed and the petition filed by o Sullivan s attorneys was denied. The latter will undoubtedly take Steps to have the matter brought of at the november term of court at mount Vernon. When the hair shows signs of failing begin at ones to use Ayers hair vigor.

Tate s description of Brit ill colom Bia indians contradicted. Victoria colonist the colonist yesterday morning published a highly sensational Story of the manners and customs of the indians of British Columbia told to the people of the Eastern provinces by or. C. M. Tate wife of Rev. Or. Tate formerly of Chilli Hach. The account described the natives of the province As living in the vilest barbarism and was calculated to create Surprise especially Here where the facts of the Case am Well known. The full text of the Telegram containing mrs. Tate s charges against the aborigines of the Canadian paci6c coast was yesterday submit Ted by a colonist reporter to a gentleman resident in the province for the past thirty years and during the entire period Brown in close Contact with the Indian population. He was asked How much of the Story was True and How much was not. And his reply i substantially As follows the reporter Towt Nave misunderstood mrs. Tate and made her say traditions of the past were recent occurrences. I never heard of any cannibalism at any time cannibalism As i understand it being the Kil Hng of people for the Sake of tag them. The near at approach to it was a practice at the Medicine feasts More than and never of kiting a a Corpse and using it in the ceremony. An Arm or some torn out and the though in reality a Scarcity of Grain for Export no Manitoba wheat at the Board George Olds of Bis trip. D. G. Thompson superintendent of the Montreal transportation co., when asked by a Montreal witness reporter respecting the Scarcity of Grain for Export in the Montreal elevators said there has t been a Bushel of wheat come out of Manitoba so far and we forwarders Are doubtful if we will have much if any for Export before the close of navigation Why last year by this time Manitoba wheat had been ground into flour in England at present there Are a number of boats lying on Lake Superior waiting to bring the wheat Down. There is Only another month of Nava Gatiso so you see the prospects Are Nob Good. Then smother thing that works against us is the Ocean freight of a shilling per in artery which is charged by our steamship Sines while it is earned free from new York the steamers taking All they can get for ballast to what do you principally attribute the Scarcity of wheat for Well you see it has been continually rain ing of late in the Northwest and that has retarded the work somewhat but it is a ques Tion whether after our Home consumption bos been attended to there will be very much for or. Thomson s company carried Over 000 bushels last year when the wheat crop was considered. A number of the company s barges Are on the Way up to bring Down what Grain they can get. What traffic oaf Agub Olds sats. 1 George Olds general traffic manager of the a. R., speaking to the same reporte of his recent trip said that so far As he had been Able to see the Farmers appeared to have More Grain than they could take care of themselves. All the wheat was in the stacks awaiting threshing but the bad weather was delaying movements. He thought or. Thomson was perhaps right in saying there would not be much exported before the close of navigation but the exportation would be very Large in the Spring. All Malonff where or. Olds travelled he saw the threshing machines ready for use and Only awaiting the weather s pleasure. There was much More wheat in the than was wanted for local consumption. Olds was of opinion that there would this year be five times As much Grain of All lands available for Export and Domestic As there was last year. He was much pleased to find the wonderful growth of the cattle raising Industry. He saw More cattle within a radius of thirty Miles from Winnipeg than he had seen along the whole line on his trip four year Sago. Or. Olds Speaks very hopefully of this Branch of Commerce which is destined to become our greatest Export. He also noted the wonderful improvement in Vancouver the terminal town since he had last seen it. There had been Good crops and a successful fishing season and everybody was satisfied.
