EXPECT FAIR TO BREAKRECORDS Provincial Exhibition Now Open at Queens Park Packed With Wonderful and Varied Display KEEN COMPETITION Officials From Districts After Dewar Shield Worked All Sunday on Exhibits NEW WESTMINSTER, Sept. 12.

The Provincial Exhibition opened, this morning under most auspicious circumstances. Never before In the long history of the Royal Industrial and Agricultural Society has there been such a happy combination of circumstances governing events, and everything points today to the most successful exhibition ever staged In Queen's Park. The weather Is Ideal, and the great trouble during the past two days lias not been the getting of exhibits, but the finding of room and propor accommodation In the buildings and sheds for the vast array of magnificent exhibits that have come to hand. i Ail day Sunday exhibitors worked unceasingly, a tag nig their exhibits to ths best advantage, but the finishing touches wore put on this morning, and everything Is now ready for the enjoyment of the thousands of visitors who are expected to visit and re vialtl the exhibition again and again, fnri wun an mere is to Da seen, it Is quite Impossible to tee one quartor'of it in a single visit. It would take anyone really interested in stock at least three davs to thoroughly go through the sheds In ths stock yards, and In these aayi when so many are Interested In iocs, poultry, and agricultural pro.

auce, tne present exhibition presents uppuriuniiies oi very exceptional educational vaue. There will be stock judging contests by children, and with the galaxy of farmers, who are to be present since the crops are now ai Hured. theie should ba no reason why anyone should fall to learn all about Ihe magnificent animals on view. Some Idea of the number of extra exhibits to be seen In the stock yards was given yesterday by the genial yard master. Mr.

K. l. MacKenxle, the reeve of Surrey, who stated that there were so many more animals that It would be necjHsary to start In and erect more buildings right away. There wer so many fine swine that the sheen would hava to out out in the open, and there were still more to oume. ne yard master comes of age this exhibition as it Is the twenty first year he has acted in that capacity.

In his opinion it Is the finest show ever staged In New Westminster, and there Is certainly a much hlsrer showing of stock than there haa ever been during the long years he has watched over the fortunes of the stoca yaras.

Halifax was thrown into a turmoil of excitement shortly after 1 o'clock: this morning when a series of explosions at the Imperial Oil Company's plant at Imper oya, roused the population and brought thousand of scantitly dressed men and women into the streets, fearing a repetition of the disaster of 1917. Those who thronged the citadel and other points of vantage overlooking the harbor saw great sheets of flames rising from the rear of the oil company's work's works and the entire basin ablaze with light. Five pressure stills of a battery of 12, completed last year at a cost of a million dollars, had detonated and the oil, which they had contained, was spouting great masses of smoke and flames.

High above the noises of the aroused city was heard the rear of escaping steam which which the fire was being automatically fought. In the excitement that followed, many people living along the waterfront on either side of the harbor, moved their furniture into the street and prepared to abandon their homes. Two hours later It was announced that the fire was under control and that all danp er had passed. Of the six men at work near the scene of the explosions at the time of Its occurrence all escaped. Gilbert Ettlnger, employed as a fireman, was missing for a time, but later reported that he had taken refuge in the fields nearby after the, alarm had been given.

WHILE pessimists amateur and professional are talking hard times, the equivalent of a new agricultural county is being added to tne province, it baa a special interest for Vancouver folk, for the new county is at Vancouver's back door.

Three lines of railway connect, it to this city. Day and night the work Is going on unceasingly, hampered only by a lack of suitable experienced help. The new county Is the Humus reclamation area of 32,000 acres. Three days ago I stood on the top of a great earth dyke near the centro of the area. On one hand a great BucyrtiM steam bucket wa throwing up car'th st the rate of 60,000 yards a month; a gasoline drag line eaulnnient was throw ing up at the rate of 10,000 yards; at another' part "of the dyke' an eleiirrlc drag line with an 15 foot boom was scooping up earth at' the rate of 40.000 yards a month, each scoop of the great steel bucket bringing up ZVi cubio yards of earth.

Near Mr. Arthur Street's farm on ths lower Human Road, an "orange peel" excavator was carving out the bank of the Atchelits River and throwing up the Atchelits dyke, while at another part of the work a crew with a smaller electric, drag line excavator were filling in the last gaps in the north Vedder dyke.
