NOVEMBER 18. 1909 NOTES AND COMMENTS For the farther protection of the traveihng public the Railway Commis - shin is ooneidering new regnlatione, and it le not improbable that the companies will be asked to inetall on their lines. between the prinoipal oeutres the block system of signals. Information, with that abject in view, is now being col. looted. The block eignals,it is Maimed, obviate the possibility of oollisions, Daring the decade from 1898 to 1908 Canada led the world, with the excel). tion of Argentina, in comparative in- orease in trade. During .the prooiding decade, from 1897 to 1907, Canada rank. ed third in respect to trade growth. Ar- gentina first and japan second. Japan now ranks third. This is the most inter- esting fact brought out in the annual report of the Trade and Commerce Department, issued recently. For the last fiscal year the statistics of trade, as already stated show a falling off of .$57,916,284, as compared with the pre- oedfng year. The Deputy Minister in his report, lays stress on the fact that this deoroase was almost wholly in imports, the decline in exports being only $3,446,586. Compared with other nations, Canadian trade figures show that the financial depression was felt muoh less severely here than elsewhere. The banquet in honor of the Hon. Charles, Murphy on Thursday night served in a small measure, to express the esteem in which he is held by the men who have known him best, Ottawa is his home town, Here he has lived and grown to manhood, and the men with whom he sat at dinner the other night were there because they had watched him grow and had approved the manner Of his growth. The Journal's opinion of Mr. Murphy need not be restated, perhaps, but it may be said that the journal has regarded Mr. Murphy as a man possessing many of the best guali. ties of Canadian citizenship. His ideals are high, his intellectual power le indie- patable, he is both Olean and strong. We may have a lane or two to break with him Upon the misdeeds of the political company he is keeping at present, bat that may be postponed for the moment, The demonstration the other night was a demonstration of respect, we might even say affection, for an Ottawa man who by *beer merit baa risen to bigh piaoe in the conoolle of the nation. --Ottawa Journal.

Hon, George P. Graham delivered an address at Strathroy in the interests of Mr. Rase, the Liberal candidate in West Middlesex. Mr. Grahamis not only a natural orator, but his addresses are al. ways filled with wholesome meat. Respeoting the progress of Canada, Mr, Graham ie reported as follows: He pointedout the result of having a business administration: in power. In the days of depression the Government had stili been able to show a surplus of several million dollars and now trade was on the up grade again. The trade of Canada for the six monthe ending September 80 amounted to $304,800,000, an increase compared with the oorres- poudiug period of lost year of $43,000,- 000, arl increase which alone was greater than that which took plane in the ten years prior to 1896. The traffic( on the onnale and waterways at the end of September was 11,000,000 tonemore than last year. The inorease was twice as =oh es the whole train of ten years ago, and there was an advanoe of 65 per cent on the previews year. Oa the 30th, of September the people of Canada had on deposit in the bauks of the country $790,627,687-a practical proof of prosperity - more than double the deposits of ten years ago. In ono decade the money of the people in savinge banks bad increased by $525,- 000,000. The great west was filling up and providing new markets at home. There were some of the results which a progressive administration had` helped to bring about. Canada had shown a greater courage than any couutry in the world in the amount of money she expended on transportation. In New York it had been said that Canada spent dimes where. the United States spent Dents on improving the facilities for Water -borne traffic, An immediate result was that a large portion of the grain.oarrying trade which formerly went to New York had been diverted to Canadian ports. "Canada in years to come," deolared Mr. Graham, "will not only do her own water-oarrying trade, but the greater part of that of the Western States." It was true that Naw York State had voted $101,000,000 for the deepening of the Erie Canal, bat there were also large schemes in the air for Canada, and when Canada was ready, as he be- lieved she would be shortly,, to make the best of her natural advantages, she could for all time control the water. borne trade for the continent of America to the Atlantic seaboard. In railway facilities similar advanoes had been made, and though the oon- ternotlon of the Na%tonal Transcon- tinental Railway had been hampered by lack of labor, yet that road was pro- gressing rapidly towards completion 'and when finished would be vastly superior to any transoontinental rail- way in America, It was a big under- taking and Dost a lot of money, but he believed that the benefits to the country which would accrue would more than testify the expenditure. Canada had in the last few years assumed great responsibilities and had become part proprietor of the British Empire. "We have," said the speaker, "ail the freedom of a democracy and all the protection of an empire, and there is a large question whioh has loomed up. We have to consider the building of ships for the defenoe of our fisheries, coasts and commerce, or the presenting of Dreadnoughts, or the money for them, to the Motherland." Daring the last session of the House of Commons a resolution had been passed, against which not a single man bad raised his voice, and, although several: Conservatives were now ,hying a bit, Mr. Borden himself had endorsed the deoision of the House. It was an ab- solute necessity that Canada's increas- ing commerce should be protected and trade routes kept open, and to assure that it was neoeesary that Britain should remain mistress of the seas, "It is not," he said, "a question 0f going out and licking somebody. It'e a mat- ter of business." With regard to the method to be adopted he felt that the only possible thing was for Canada 80 have her own navy, thereby maintain- ing the principle that she should control absolutely hatters Wherein the money of the people was expended. They had been told of proposed large expendi- tures, but he Would remind them that tete proposals 0f the Government had not yet been made public; neither would it be proper to do so until they were laid before Parliainent.

Pri0 fr i'N 'TREE F�#R 1NG Government Advice Which Will Help Owners of Forest Lands, Unused landsin any pert of the United States can bo made to produce from $6 to $20 an acre, according to a recent forestry report by the govern. Went. In the report the interests of the country in general are considered, and in this light tree growers are advised to keep their trees uncut until they aro of mature size, "Plantations of red cedar twenty-five years old," says one report, "have netted $200.04 an acre. European larch, used for telephone or fence posts, will net from $200 to $225 an ricre at the ago of twenty-aveyears. White pine at the ripe age of forty years will produce $300 an acre as un- cut timber," while other woods more than twenty years of age bring prices that compare favorably with these. But to the man who is expecting that in ten or fifteen years his tree crop will reneh a salable value the figures of the national forest service are a bit out of reach. Yet to that individual slope is offered in the announcement that there are uses and even good prices paid foe ,trees which range from the tender age of six years up and that the detuand for these slender striplings is growing greater each year. An example of this lies in the match industry alone. This line of manufac- ture has nearly all been merged into a great trust which annually pnrehases at a good figure thousands. of acres of white pine trees anywhere from Maine to California. It buys these as uncut timber in size from six niches up and after clearing the tract moves on to its next forest. In the manufacture of barrel staves and boops trees of almost any tough, flexible wood are used from the ages of four to fifteen years, while any straight young trees of ten years will make salable Sag or tent poles. Young alders, poplars and willows of from ten to fifteen years serve man- kind in the manufacture of gunpowder, while the prolific beech and ' maple, from six inches in diameter upward, can be used in the manufacture of wood alcohol, for which there is an enormously increasing demand all over the country. Furniture manufacturers, always on the outlook for Wood with a line grain, will take birch, cherry, walnut, etc., not large enough to be used in making parts of house furnish- ings for use as veneer. Never before in the history of the United States has so much wood been used in the manu- facture of ornaments and toys as is now being used for that purpose, and thousands of feet of spruce are em- ployed by manufacturers of sleigbs and wagons. In some parts of New York and Pennsylvania Iarge quantities of small timber are used in wood distillation plants for the production of acid, while all over the country small timber is used for the manufacture of cbarcoal. Small sizes of timber, particularly the spruce of New England, is used in the pulp mitis where paper and other wood pulp products are manufactured. Then, again,, many small trees are bought for the manufacture of tootbpicks, while in the mining country of Penn- sylvania and other .coal producing states thousands of "sprags" are pur- chased to serve their peculiar purpose. This Is to check the speed of the mule carts as they go rapidly down the steep grade of the mines by being thrown beneath the wheels. These are only a few of the hundreds of uses to which young timber may be put if it is near enough to a market to be sold. Prairies of a New Country. 13y way of contrast in a new country' we give a picture showing the break- ing up. of virgin soil at Cordova, South America. A. large part of the Argen- tine Republic, including practically the whole of the rich and fertile prov- inces of Cordova, San Luis and Santa Fe, is in its virgin state of little u0e for grazing, being sparsely covered with coarse, bitter grasses of but little 'nutriment. These lands, although hav- ing such a poor natural covering, re- quire only the band of man to turn EnEAnI as IIP vxnor NOM IN sorra AMERICA. them into the finest pasturage in the world. Often as many as ten three- furrow disk plows may be seen fol- lowing 000 another up and down, breaking up the land preparatory to sowing alfalfa (lucern). The ;flows, as shown in the picture, are drawn by eight criollo (native) horses tied four abreast, the ptowmen riding the near wheeler. With two changes of horses one plow *will break up as much as five acres of virgin soil a day. Some ranchers sow with lucetn 5,000 acres it year. This in Its virgin state would carry some 280 heed et cattle, but onee dot i n n lne ern would support 2,000 head. Remedy Por Plant Lice.
