COMMENT ON EVENTS

Transportation In Canada.
As Canada 'is likely to develop faster
than ite railways the subject of trans=
portation is likely 1,O.continue continue a great
problem. .The grain production - of
the Canadian West le this year five times
greater than it was ten years ago. In
round numbers it was 100' million buehele
ten .years ago, and this year it is figured;
eve 500 million bushels. Such a, cryopp
Within three00mon hs one-fifth and.
that
enormous total will have. to be removed
to the lake 'front.
In the autumn of 1911 the railways were
surprised at their inability to meet the re-
quirements, but on inquiry they found
that the product had about doubled in
two years, which was more than the rail-
ways could fully provide for, but the ex-
perience -made them active 'in their own
interest, while the Government did not
fail to urge them.
It is .said that during 1912 over •44,000'
.freight cars were ordered and nearly 500
engines. These have long since been de-
livered along with some orders for thle
year.
It is noticed that loading is now going
on ten times fester than usual,• In 1912
the Canadian Pacific railway handled dux-
ine •September, October and November
43,369 care, the Canadian Northern 19.770
oars, and the Grand Trunk Pacific 8,184
cars. The rush of grain to market made
an unprecedented run of money and cre-
dit conditions. There will be unparalleled
car facilities during this and the two
n:•ct .mentis.
Just the Thing.
If it be true, ae announced, that a
Prince Edward Teland man has invented
a contrivance which automatically indi-
oaths railway stations, and which has
been, pronounced '"just the thing" by rail-
way men, one of the greatest boons im-
aginable' will be conferred on all railway
travellers. The device •is affixed to one
or both ends of the car in full view of
the passengers, and •as each elation is
passed the next is indicated • in . large:
plain, legible letters. That the device will,
fill a long -felt want will be recognized by
everyone who has travelled on the rail-
evays 'and. who has endeavored in vain
to translate into geographical significance
the natio of the next stat'' -on as announc-
ed by the brakeman.
Forestry in Prairie Provinces.
Much' -interesting information on the.
activitiee of the Forestry Department of
the Interior is contained in the report of
the Commission of Conservation for 1913.
Last year a special examination was made
of forest lands in the west. As a result
' of these investigations it has now been
recommended that the threat reserve area
iu Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and
the railway belt of British Columbia
should be increased by eome 10,708 square
miles,' or . approximately 43 per cent. Of
the proposed additions 72 per cent., or 7,-
698
;698 square miles, is in Alberta, 8 per cent.
in Saskatchewan, and 4 1-2 per cent. in
Manitoba. Tho addition recommended in
British Columbia amouni.s to about 15.5
per mint. of the total.
Public Protection.

. ada. Tho law equipment of the country

area, the company ispermitted to ewear

Stupendous Automobile Figures.
The figures submitted to the recent see
sion of the International Good Roads
Congress at London regarding the world'e
automobiles and motor driven vehicles
are amazing.. There are at present in
use in all countries a total of 1,161,911
motor vehicles. Of these, 1,024,913 were
automobilee and 136,998 motorcycles.
The E. S. leads with 628,185 motor ye-
hielee. Great Britain comes next with
125,728. France is third with 89,185, and
Germany :.fourth with .70,006.. An interest -
:frig item in this • census is the one• show-
ing the growth of the` commercial auto-
truok. The total in use now approximates
69,556. Germany uses three times as many
motor trucks ae pleasure cars (49,120.
The automobile has conquered the world.
Egypt has 1,169, the Straits Settlements

CANCER IN GREAT BRITAIN.
Distinct Relationship Between Dim
ease and Domestic Coal..
A despatch from . London says:
The conclusions reached by Charles
E. Green, of Edinburgh, that there
is a distinct relationship between
the occurrence of cancer and the
kind of fuel used for domestic pur-
poses, was accepted as decisive by
Sir William Bennett, the- eminent
surgeon, inhis presidential address
on Thursday at the meeting of the
Coal • Smoke Abatement Society.
Sir William said investigation had
shown that the increase of cancer
was limited to those areas where
coal was the staple fuel; while it
was almost non-existent` where or-
dinary peat alone -*as used. The
only exception yet discovered to
this; rule, he declared, was in dis-
tricts . where the peat was a bard
black substance which crackled like
coal and was quite unlike the
smouldering, ordinary peat. Sir.
William . Bennett in conclusion
spoke .strongly in favor of gas as a
substitute for opal.

A despatch from Panama says
The Gamboa dyke, which separated
the North entrance ,of Culebra cut
from. Gaturi Lake, and the only re-
maining barrier to theflow of water
through the Panama ' Canal, was
blown up at 2.10 o'clock on Friday
afternoon by an electric current,
switched on by cable by President
Wilson, in his office at Washington.
The explosion threw 200.feet of the
centre of the dyke high into the air
in a fan-like mass of rock,' earth
and water, The destruction of this
dyke permitted the waters of Gatlin
Lake to flow freely into the Culebra
cut, which after nine years of the

136 PEOPLE PERISH AT
SEA
Steamer Volturno, Bound for Halifax from Rotter-
dam, Takes Fire on Voyage
A despatch from London, Eng-
land, says : - The Volturno, of the
Uranium Line, burning and help -
leas in a raging mid-Atlantic storm
last Thursday, sent awireless call
over the sea and drew to her ten
ships that came up in time to save
521 of her 657 passengers.
The others, 136, were swallowed
by the ocean when the lifting waves
crushed four of the Volturno's life-
boats against the ship's side. For
more than twenty hours the ten
rescuing ships that had wheeled in
their courses when the S.O.S. call
halted them in the Storm cruised
around the Volturno, unable . to
give aid.because of the dangers •of
wind and waves.
The rescue ships reached the
scene of the disaster in plenty of
time to save all, but for hours .stood
by the :blazing vessel, impotent be-
cause of the storm to reach the
'agonized men, women and children
otowding the afterpart of the ship
and within a. stone's throw.
All-night long Thursday the life-
boats made a desperate effort to
get alongside the Volturno; but the
waves beat them back again and
again, and not until the storm
abated .at daylight Friday did the
rescuers succeed in removing the
survivors from the doomed ship.
The Rescue Ships
were unable to leier lifeboats, and.
apparently most of the boats
launched frown the Volturno were
smashed or upset and the occu-
pants drowned. Two of the boats,
crowded with passengers, were re-
ported to have. got away from the
ship, . but a search .for them has
proved fruitless, and they have
practically been given up as lost.
The occupants of these boats are
included in the death roll.
The steamer Carmania, bound
from New York to Liverpool, was
78 miles away when the call for
help sounded. Captain Barr, or-
dering full steam in spite of the
gale, drove through the seas at 20
knots an hour, and was first of the
fleettosreaoh the burning •vessel.
She was followed by La Touraine,
Minneapolis,, Rappahannock; Czar,
Narragansett, Devonian, lifroon
land, Grosser Kurguerst, and Seyd-
litz at various hours throughout the
day. But try as they. might, the
rescuing vessels: could, get neither.
line 'nor lifeboat to the Volturno,
the' forward parto£ whish was al-
most hidden by a .dense cloud of
smoko . when the Car mania arrived.
The burning steamer lay in the
trough of the seas, pounding help-
lessly, with her propellers fouled
by the boat's tackle, Tho terrified
passengers were huddled together
as flu .as it was possible to get from
the flames,while throughout the
day the offieers and crew fought
desperately with whatever appli-
ances were at hand to hold the fire
in check.
Explosion Ends All.
But night came on and the seas
abated slightly. The circle of
steamers kept their searchlights
playing, and waited patiently with-
in the danger % zone for the first
moment when they might again
launch the lifeboats. The hope-
lessness of the situation was mani-
fested at 9 o'clock in the evening
when agreat explosion tore away
a part of the upper works, and
flames burst from the engine room.
It then became a matter of how
long the Volturno would stay above
the water.
Meanwhile several of the terri-
fied passengers,, wrapped in life-
buoys; dropped over into the sea.
One of them was taken aboard the
Carmania. It may be that others
found a haven with other vessels of
the fleet, but some undoubtedly
were swept away.
When day broke the Volturno
was still afloat. The gale had mod-
erated and the seas had calmed
down. From almost every one of
the encircling steamers lifeboats
were sent out,and into these the
women and children were lowered
first. Severaltrips were necessary
.before `the survivors were removed
to a place of safety.
Coed Havo Saved All.
Had it not been for the great
storm that made the launching of
small boats ,a desperate venture, it
is likely that few, if any, of the
Volturno's passengers would have
been drowned, for the wireless
served again in time of need, and
the ships that were passing on their
ordinary .occasions sped up in time
to have picked' up such small boats.
It appears that the Volturno was
.sufficiently equipped, but no sea-
manship or courage could overcome.
the fury of the storms.
Six boats were dropped into the
sea shortly after an explosion for-
ward had killed several of thecrew
and ,sozne of the immigrant passen-
gers and had fired the forepart of
the steamship. Not one of ,these
boats were able to get away from
the ship's side. All were gripped
by the waves and hammered to,
pieces, against the plates. Their
passengers drowned' without a
chance .for life. 'Thereafter Captain
Inch, of the Volturno, made efforts
to launch boats, but the ,sea was
too furious. Il:e and his officers
were forced to turn all of their at-
tention to fighting the . fire, which
was ;working slowly aft anddriving.

100,000 STARVING IN 'DUBLIN.
On Account of Strike One-third of
Population Is In Need of Food.
A despatch from London says:
Dublin is being ruined by the con-
tinuance 'of the transport. war,
which is now in its fifth week. The
plight of the poorer section. of the
population is dreadful, one hun-
dred thousand men, women and
children, or one-third of the city's
whole population, being on the
verge of starvation. Rain fell
heavily in the city on Tuesday, in-
tensifying the misery of the strikers'
and their wives and children, hud-
dled together for warmth. A crowd'
of girls and boys lined up at the
Liberty Hall, headquarters of the,.
Irish. Transport Union, to receive':
a dole of soup and bread, and then}
sat down on the nearest doorsteps'
to nourish their wasted bodies. The,
food which has come in the relief
ships is the only thing which has
kept many families from actual
death by starvation, and any„.ees-
"sation of these supplies would be
followed by indescribable misery.
As it is, strangers are dogged by
child beggars, who implore the
price of a meal without hesitation
and without relaxation. Other
children, more fortunate than,
these, are to be seen staggering
'home through the driving rain with
Sacks of potatoes and groceries'
from the food ship stores. The de-
cision, of the Miners' Federation to
contribute $5,000 a week is hailed
with pathetic joy by the strikers,
whose confidence that with English'
support they will overcome their
employers has never been seriously
shaken.
