TO RAISE WINNIE WING.

On Saturday the Donnelly Wrecking company, of Kingston, sent an outfit to Napanee, to raise the schooner Winnie Wing, which sank in the river opposite that town a week ago Friday, after a collision with a government dredge. There are five feet of water over the decks. The Winnie Wing has 300 tons of hard coal.

The schooner Ford River, loaded with feldspar, will clear for Charlotte tonight.

The assets of the steamboat companies to be taken over by the Canada Transportation Lines, Limited, are $33.055,538, and earnings for 1912 $1,494,554. An increase next year is anticipated, while by the new arrangement a substantial saving in insurance will be effected. It is proposed that the shareholders of this company receive $12,000,000 7 per cent cumulative preference shares and $4,000,000 ordinary shares of the new company for the $10,000,000 of Richelieu stock. The president said it would not be necessary to advance freight rates. The sale to a larger enterprise was deemed better business at a time of financial stringency like the present.
