Rimouski, Que., May 29.—The twin screw Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Ireland, carrying 1,437 persons, passengers and crew, sank in the darkness before dawn to-day in the St. Lawr ence river near here with a loss of perhaps 1,000 lives. Early esti mates of the dead varied from 678 to more than 1100. The vessel, bound from Quebec for Liverpool, with 77 first, 206 second and 504 third class passengers, was cut wide open by the collier Storstad, and sank within twenty minutes in nineteen fathoms of water. Of those saved the majority appeared to be members of the crew or from the steerage. Many were badly in jured and 22 died after being picked up. CRASH FOUND NEARLY ALL IN BED The crash occurred about 2 o'clock this morning off Father Point, Quebec, a village brought into prominence when Dr. Crip pen, the London murderer, was caught. The collier, bound for Quebec, struck the Empress of Ireland on the port side about the middle of the ship. She literally tore her back almost to the lin er's screws, leaving a rent through which the water pored in such a deluge that she sank before many of the passengers were aware of what had happened. Brief wireless calls for help sent out by the Marconi operator were heard by the pilot boat Eureka here, ten miles from the scene and the Eureka followed by the Lady Evelyn, a mail tender, put on forced steam and made all speed for the spot. It was these two boats that found afloat the few lifeboats that were launched Late News Bulletins TRUST BILL IS AMENDED Washington.

S \ Intensive Farming When the manufacturer uses the newspapers for his advertis ing campaign lie is applying the principle of the intensive farm- When he advertises In the newspapers of any city, he Is thereby picking out a particular spot and cultivating It for all there Is In it. He Is not wasting time nor money nor energy. He is not spreading Ills advertising over territory where he may have lit tle or no distribution. His campaign Is concentrated where it may bo studied and where resultß can be definitely computed. Perhaps more important than all, he Is gaining the support mid the co-operation of the local dealers In the community where he advertises, and who appre ciate that the missionary work done In their own town lq bound lo send customers to their stores.
