WHY BEATEN BY AMERICA. Electric Telegraph—Press Association Copyright Ottawa. Last Night.

The lumber boats from San Francisco, on the other hand, return laden with coal, consequently the trade is profitable. The establishment of a.

The lack of accommodation for lumber aboard passenger liners was also complained of.
