disbelieved by grain men of wide experience.\u201d A partner in one of the largest grain firms in the West said: \"After \"the reading the interview with Mr.Jones, we have had six experienced men on the road all the time, and their reports are most satisfactory.1 do not believe that there is sufficient black rust to do any serious damage.\u201d It ts admitted by Mr.Junes that wheat in dough will! be little affected even by black rust, and there are mar v thousunds of acres In that condition.Mr.Jones, In his talks with men about the exchange, dweit much on the fact that appearances In Manitoba coincide with the early stages of black rust in Dakota.This may be correct, but proves nothing, because from private and reliable | sources comes the news that while some of the sections In Dakota have fulfilled Mr.Jones\u2019 predictions of fall- ure to the letter.others have not only shown no further deterioration, but a decided Improvement and will yield a very fair «rop.No Damage Reported.Mr.Robt.Meighen, of the Lake of the Woods Milling Co.when seen by The Herald said:-\"Our reports show that conditions have somewhat changed in Manitoba during the last two davs.Rust has appeared on the Glen- boro igh branch in the Boisecain district.Weather cloudy.Our report does not mention any serious damage.Reports of Frost.Winnipeg.August 20.\u2014(Special) \u2014 Vague reports have been received in Winnipeg of frost near Edmonton, but ns that district is very far north, and nat considered in the large wheat belt, reports have caused little alarm.\u2018Throughout Manitoba and the eastern rart of the Territories the weather has! fur the past three weeks been ideally dry and warm, and reports would indicate that the farmers are quite satisfied.Reports Exaggerated.Winnipeg, Man.August 20.The crop report to hand this morning gathered from reliable sources at va- \u2018pous points throughout the West show that the current reports of serious damage from\u201d rust are gross exaggerations.Thee is a certain amount of rust in some places on late sown grain but the crop will not suffer any great injury on this account, The weather is all that could be wished for.and the grain is rapidly mateuring.With continued favorable conditions Manitoba wilt reap one of the finest crops in its history.Grain Healthy.Winnipeg.August 20.\u2014Mr.G.A.Simpson, 1 leading official of tire Manitoba Government, says:\u2014 I never saw healthier looking grain in my life than I saw near Broken Head.The wheat is just turning, while many farmers have commenced cutting their barley, which will yield largely.As « whole the crops look extremely promising, and T saw no signs of rust or effects of frost whatever.\u201d QUALITY AS WELL AS QUANTITY.Brandon, August 20.\u2014Reports from all parts that reach Brandon are to the effect that at this season of the year the crops never looked better than at present.All who have been travelling through the country agree that wheat is ripening evenly, ajZl§ with that rich! golden hue that betokens not only a bountiful vield.but a crop of surpassing quality.Mr.J.R.Little, manager of the Merchants\u2019 Bank, and Mayor Hall took a trip West tn inspect the crops, and they were delighted with what they, LTAW., REAL S.S.RATES CUT 1 ON ACCOUNT OF RATE WAR The rate war among the steamship com-!

perts, one from McGill, one from Laval, rand the other from the Board of Health, | was then considered.The Mayor's suggestion also included a report On the differences between the St, Law- i rence and Ottawa River waters, The | examination, if undertaken, will extend \"over some months.I After some discussion of this pro- ! posal, the board decided to ask the ! Finance Committee for funds to carry it cut, Dr.Laberge recommended that funds should also be secured for the equipment of the health department, bac- | teriologica! laboratory, especially for i the proper examination of milk.This being typhoid season, and the number l of gases reported being on the increase, | a careful inspection of the city's milk | Was very necessary.Little work, said Dr.Laberge, would be needed to properly equip the labura- ' tory.for this work, while at present in | diphtheria and tuberculosis cases, the lefty was dependent upon the kindness of the provincial officers for its analyses, The board decided to accept Dr.La- berge's suggestions, and ask for [ nds to equip the laboratory.HACK MR.JOHN BURROW MINISTER MADE 600D IMPRESSION Western People Pleased with Hon.Mr.Prefontaine's Visit THE MINISTER IS KEPT BUSY He Will Not Go North With G.T.P.Party Owing to Lack of Time | \u20148ome Important Announcements.Victoria, B.C., Aug.20.\u2014(=pertal) \u2014' The visit of Mr.Raymond Prefontaine: to Victoria has been one of the most; successful ever made Government.It Is no exaggeration to say that he has made many friends rot only for himself but for the Ministry wherever he has gone.His! energy and enthusiasm in dealing with} the important questions involved in the development of the salmon fishing in- | Gustry have evoked the warmest pralse from Conservatives as well as Liberals, Toman and Parisian.the Canada, of the Do- | , 1a his tact in dealing with what is really a question of some difficulty is the subject of general and favorable comment.On Thursday the Minister; was entertained by the Board of Trade at an excursion on the U.P.R.steamer: Princess Victoria.The route taken was among the islands of the State of Washington, where hundreds of fish traps have been for years past in operation.Hon.Mr.Prefontaine addressed the Board of Trade and afterwards met the| Council of that body in consultation upon various matters coming within the purview of his department, Yesterday he met the Provincial Government and last night he address-| ed a Liberal raily.To-day he will visit the fish traps recently established at!
