Some Intere,sting Statistics Given
by -Latest Census Bulletin.
A despatch 'from Ottawa says
The lab bulletin of the census of.„
1911, issned on" Wednesday, COal.-
tains the statistics of ages a the
people by ,single years, by totals
for Canada', and for ,each of the
provinces, also comparative statis-
tics ,of the distribution of the people
by age periods in 1911 and 1901.
The largest proportion per 1,000
of persons. under 10 years iS found
in the Province ,of Quebeo, with
213.508, as compared with 1).,71.456
jp 1901, wheii it also held the pre-
mier position, The lowest propor-
tion is found in British Columbia,
with 166.345, followed by Ontario,
with 200.316 per 1,000; these two
provinces oceupied the same rela-
tive positions in. 1901, the former
having 169.374 and the latter -208.-
393 per 1,000. The provinces which
show a, betterment at this age are
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Quebee. Tffe greatest falling iieff is
shown by Manitoba., which has
dropped from 270.094 to 248.677,
and by Prince Edward Island,
which has fallen from 2313.086 to
214.450 per 1,000. The Western
Provinoes are the regions of young
men and women, ,as is shown by the
large per cent. of the population
het -ween the ages of 20 a,nd 45. It
is an interesting fact that the high-
est proxiortion for this age periocl
is to be found. in British Columbia,
and that as we come eastward the
nreporbion assumes a constantly
decreasing figure.
The provinces showing the larg-
est rneportion over 70 years' are
Primes Edward Island, Nova, Sco-
tia, New Brunswick. and Onbario,
-with 52.9, 46.6, 38.1 and 34.7 re-
spectively per 1,000, -while those
showing the We et are Alberta,
Saskatehewan, British Columbia
easel Manitoba, with 8.2, 8,8, 12.3
and 13.3 per 1,000 respectively.
That gamete, is preeminently a,
count)* of, yortng people is *evi-
denced by the facb that 812,9 pe.r-
sons in ievery 1,000 Of the popula-
tion of known ,age are under 45
euv 5. .
The proportio'n, of divO'oeS 13
given as eix in 10,000. Of the betel
male popula,tiore. '62 Per emit, are
single, ;34.85 married, and e.33 wiL
clewed, ix .016 female
97,37 por emit. elle single, 36,97
married, end 5.31 widowed. One
man ancl fifteen women of under 15
years are married. From 15 to 19
tars 1.20 per cent. it)f Male.$ and
6.9 ,lacy cent, feneales li.re married.
The inlluence of immigration on
the relative standing of tho. eeXes
is .shown by the fact that in 1911
there wore nearly 113 men to every
100 Wenien, as compared With 105
to 190 in 1901. For the poputation
tinder 15 years a. age the propor-
tion of males to females is fairly
Love l, with the former having but
s. slight. advantage. In the put
tion between the ages of 20 and 45
this iefluenee is etrikingly shown,
the aggregate for this period giv-
ing 124 males to 100 females. At
the age of 70 -the ratio Of males to
females assumes again its normal
proportion. From 80 7ears of age
and upward the female population
exhibite a greater tenacity of life
than do the males.
'
In Eastern iLies the female
population outnutibers the male .in
very nearly a correspondingly ratio
to the extent that males prepon-
derate over females in the West.
Montreal is the only Canadian city
where the numbers of males and
females are in fairly true proper-
tious.

Cold Storage Bill Ready for Pre-
sentotion to LegislaterS,
A despatch from Ottawa says:
The bill respecting cold storage
wiuoh,ite recently- inbiniated, the
Government will bring- down this
session, is now in course of prepar-
ation, after having been under
consideration of Hon. Martin Bur
-
roll tor sorae time, Generally
speaking, the measure will provide
for a, stricter inspection and Ceelle
tool of old stora,ge plants and for
rettirlaii shewing the exaet civanti-
ties of provisions which from time
to time they. eontaie. The idea, is
to protect the public against any
cornering of markets to unduly en-
hance priees. The details of the
bill are now under advisement. It
will embody the results, of an in-
vestigation made in the principal
American cities by Dairy Commis-
sioner Ruddick regarding Abe eold
storage system generally.

feet badly frozen, and it is feared
that they may have to be amputat-
ed. He was working at Easter
Camp, about one hundred miles
north of North Bay, and set out to
walk to another camp at Cache
Bay, a distance of 30 miles. After
covering about 24 miles he was
overcome witli the oold, it being
about 30 degrees below zero, and
hasl to drag himself as best he could
four nines farther to reach the
nearest farm. Part of the way he
had to make on his hands and
knees and he suffered terribly.
He had a man drive him to Cache
Bay, and her he started on his
journey home,
