Vast Area Available In Western Can ada in September. ( Pillebury-Washburne Company Needs to be Reorganized.. Ottawa, Canada, Aug. 11.—Next month will see radical changes in the land policy of the Canadian govern­ ment. The Oliver land act, which goes into effect September 1, will throw open to the public 28,000,000 acres of rich, arable land, in the odd numbered sections of Western Canada that are liberally intersected by a network of railroads, are adjacent to commercial markets and swarming with live, hust­ ling townships, with well established police protection, municipal govern­ ment, schools, churches and institutions essential for agrciultural prosperity. While the “ renter” and the man with limited loose cash is being given the opportunity of owning his own farm, unlike the procedure heretofore followed in granting free homesteads, he is not asked to forego the advant­ ages in settled districts and to go into the wilderness to fight the hard fights of the pioneer. Instead of this, the new instrument of the Canadian legis­ lature gives the enterprising man free land situated near flourishing towns, offering all the advantages and conve­ niences of modem life. In order to encourage railroad build­ ing in the Dominion, the government has given to the railroad companies* 32,000,000 acres of land during the last few years, and as a further induce­ ment they have been left absolutely unfettered in the choice of locality and the time of selection, but recently were made to select their lands. The com­ panies have taken full advantage of this generous provision and made a constant practice of leaving their grants in abeyance unless, after close­ ly watching the trend of immigration and settlement, they could make up their minds as to what tracts of land would best serve their interests. Minneapolis, Aug. 10.—Incident to a reorganization certain of the stock­ holders of the Pillsbury-Washburn Flour Milling company Saturday peti­ tioned the Federal District court for the appointment of receivers. Whatever action is taken by the court, the business will be continued. The indebtedness of the defunct company is set at more than $5,000,- 000, without security. The book value of the company’s property exceeds $15,000,000. The total secured in­ debtedness covered by debenture bonds, is $4,000,000, or a total indebtedness of $9,000,000. Liquid assets are esti- maetd at 3$,500,000, to pay $5,000,000 unsecured debts. The company has $800,000 of its products stored in 25 states outside of Minnesota. The application for receiver has cre­ ated surprise, but it is not expected to cause any flurry.in milling or finan- ciaEcircles. The milling interests in Minneapolis have enjoyed an exception­ ally good year and the conditions that affected the Pillsbury-Washburn com­ pany have been peculiacrtothat organ­ ization. The receivers have been appointed with full power to operate the com­ pany’s manufacturing plants and with confident expectation that this expedi­ ent will be found only temporary and that ample property, over and above all debts, will be ultimately left for the holders of shares. It is proposed to operate the mills under receivers and in charge of the receivers, so that labor interests will not be seriously affected at this time, and this is regarded as promising good results, in view of the very satisfactory condition everywhere of the milling and grain business, no other company engaged in similar lines here being in any way involved. ' MAY LOSE W ATER. BIG APPLE CROP. North Powder Company Has Prior Over 1,000 Cars o f Shipping Stock Will be Produced This Year. Right Over Farmers. Baker City—That the ranchers in some portions of the North Powder country are to suffer the loss of water a t this important time of the year is evident. if the order goes into effect that was made by the North Powder M. A M. company, which owns and operates the flouring mill at that sta­ tion. The company has prior water rights, but in the past has had a surplus of water. It was decided to divide the water with ranchers who would put land in cultivation, the division to continue until any time it was found necessary to have the whole supply for milling purposes. Crops have been planted and the desert soil responded admirably to the tiller’s efforts. Now, however, the water supply is short, and the milling company was forced to order all water belonging to their water right to be turned into the canal that feeds the mill supply. The hardship that will be worked on those who have spent their time and work in cultivating lands that were watered by the mill’s surplus will probably be hard. According to the opinion of many, however, there was nothing else for the mill to do in order to protect its business. Portland — Oregon will have over 1,000 cars of fine apples to ship this year, as compared with about 600 cars last year. Crop prospects on the whole are favorable, though some sections of the state are doing better than others. Hood River will have its banner crop, though it was feared earlier in the season that some damage had been done. The shipments from Hood River valley will be between 400 and 500 cars, against 200 cars in 1907. The Grand Ronde valley is preparing to send out 300 cars, double the number shipped last year, while Medford grow­ ers expect to dispatch about 200 cars, as they did last season. In the other apple sections of the state the condi­ tions are reported as good or a little better than they were last season, though it is known that some varie­ ties, Baldwins especially, will run lighter than last year fn the Willam­ ette valley, and it is also said the val­ ley Newtowns and Spitzenbergs will not produce the 2 crop they did a year ago. Prices that will be realized on shipping stock will be governed by conditions in the Eastern states, where the yields are reported to be compara­ tively lighL WILL USE JAPANESE Canadian Pacifia Determined Not to Give In to Men.
