j OCTOBER WHEAT CLOSED i AT 99 WEDNESDAY
The members of the city council will be forced to deal with the charge of ��racketeering" in the administration of city water ,at their next meeting. The chaige has its genesis in a letter written to Hon. Wells Gray% minister of municipal affaire, by W.'j. Allen, and transmitted by the minister to \V. G-. Fraser, city clerk, through his deputy E. H. Bridgeman. The facts of the case appear to be that Mr. Allen has a water connection in hi.-; place of business on Third avenue, through which (he water supplied to him is metered. He is also the owner of two premises on Fourth avenue to which the city water is not laid en, and his complaint is that his tenants are not permitted to be supplied with watsr through his meteied service.

The city clerk points out that the municipality maintains water stand-pipes on the streets for the convenience of those who do not have fhr> city water services laid into their dwellings: hence Mr. Allan dce.s not have to supply his tenants with water, and under the municipal bylaw an offence would be committed if he made a sale of water through his Third avenue service to his tenants on Fourth avenue. As for the charge of "racketeering" the city clerk contends th'-> would emersre if Mr. Allan were permitted to collect directly or indirectly, the water charge due by his tenants to the city.

Island Mountain Took Honors in Ball Tournament
close to French the   fighting   was
reported with as much detail as would be given a football match. During the bombardment of Irun and San Sebastian rebel shelLs and bombs fell frequently on French so.l but the French government paid no attention to them.
The rebels wanted Irun because by capturing- it they would cut off the government forces in the northwest from railway and highway communication with France. Even under the arms embargo that connection has strategic value: for example France has permitted loyal Spanish "forces in Barcelona_ and the east, to �end reinforcements to Irun through French territory.
The French town of Hendaye, across from Irun, has become a center of diplomatic activity. Many foreign envoys, unwilling to remain in Madrid, established their headquarters there. Last week the ambassadors sought to bring about an understanding, not to

FRENCH GOVERNMENT OFFER $65,000 PRIZE FOR ATLANTIC DERBY
Paris. Sept. 9�It is definitely announced the French government will offer a prize of $65,000 for an air derby next summer across the Atlantic, from New York to Paris, to comraemorafe the tenth anniversary of Lindbergh's solo flight. One of the conditions attaching to the proposed air race is that each plane shall carry radio.
While the Prince George Labor Da celebration did not get off to a ver> good start in the way of promotion, a sponsors the baseball club, backed b; a number of local merchants, put oi a very creditable program. Quite number of people were attracted to the city for the show and thorcughlj enjoyed themselves. The main feature of the day was the eliminatior baseball games which were started or Sunday and completed on Monda afternoon with the final between Island Mountain and Stony Creek Indians. The games on Sunday were one-sided affairs. Island Mountain defeating Prince Oeorge and Stony Creek Indians defeating AlezaLake.
On Monday aftrrnoon. after the game Prince G�orge wan from Aleza Lake the spoils management decided to put on a three-inning game between Prince George and Island Mountain, as an exhibition, to help out the day's entertainment, figuring the final game mi-gh no1 be so hot. While the short game was close and produced some very good ball there was no* the enthusiasm which marked the wind-up game.
The Stony Creek Indians certainly fooled the wipe one and particularly their own following, with the snappy samp they played against the miners. G-ettiam off to a fine ,c.tart they seemed to be able to hold them very capably. Until the fourth inning the game was scoreless, but in this stanza the Island Mountain boys were able to get three runs across the plate in a battirc spree. They followed this up in the next innings with three runs which proved to be their final counters for the day, and enough to take 'he ball game.
Until tho .seventh inning the Indians were blanked but in the seventh they also went, on a ba'.ting .spree which netted them four runs, and sent the crowd wild. Shutting the miners out in the next inning the Indians were playing well over their heads, and started another rally with the threat of another flock of runs. The island Mountain pitcher was yanked and a new one put in to -rtop 1he flow of �Indian hits. The best they could do however was to get a man as far as third ba^e before Hie inning was ended after a couple had flied out. Thi.s nded the rallies as in the last inning both fides went out one-two-three, with Island Mountain winning first place with a score of 6 to 4.
Winding up the day's features a dance was held in the Princess ballroom under the auspices of the ball club, and a good attendance helped the baU club finance a show worth holding on Labor Day.
sale executions, they sought to arrange for the exchange, rather than the slaughter, of prisoners. That these efforts were not attended with much success was evidenced in the taking of Irun. Men who escaped from the slaughter into France say no quarter was shown, the Moors in the rebel ranks killing non-combatants and women without mercy.
The rebels had a meeting at their capital city Burgas and made known the program they will put into effect-when they have overcome the government part}'. They annoimce they Intend, to institute military dictatorship, after the Fascist fashion. They would eliminate the parliament, abolish the-right to strike and" restore to the original owners all confiscated factories, lands and churches. After "exterminating" all Socialist elements, they would hold a plebiscite on the restoration of ex-King Alfonso.
Commission Will Review Montreal-New York Canal
Designed    to Give    New    York Part of Great Lakes Trade When St. Lawrence Improved
MEETING ON MONDAY
Canal Project has Endorsement of the Interests Behind the St. Lawrence Plan
Washington. Sept. 8�On Monday next the members.of the International Joint Commission.'with the engineers assigned to it by the, governments of the United States and Canada, will begin a week's survey of� the practicability of deepening and widening the waterway from Montreal to New York, and making it available to ocean vessels.
Commission members and' their staffs, travelling- from New York to-Montreal, may hold hearings en route, ater, the engineers will make estimates of cos+s and the commission will then report its findings to the American and the Canadian governments. Army engineers have been assigned as technical advisers to the American members of the commission.
The route is via the St. Lawrence. Richelieu river. Lake Champlairt. Ohamplain and Erie Canals to the Hudson River. The Richelieu river connection has a navigable depth of slightly less than seven feet of water hroughout and is now chiefly used by motorboats. and by barges carrying umber. It would be necessarv also to tviden and deepen the channel on the-!ower reaches of Lake Champlain. aixt he canal from Whitehall to the Hudson. These and related questions will be canvassed by the commission. The National Seaway Council, established recently in Washington by organizations interested in assuring senate rat-fication of the St. Lawrence waterway treaty, has endorsed the �rooos<�d new waterway between New York and Montreal.
