The mayor and aldermen of the city welcomed the delegates in felicitous terms. Mr. Stewart, the high 'chief ranger, eeplying in an eloquent manner on behalf of the order. .

Besides the inenrance department, the order operates a sick, and funeral 'benefit department, ,and the increase in the funds in this regard, 'during the year 1913, amounted to $50,746.32 after the payment of 7,271 sick and funeral benefit claims, [amounting tfo $180,- 919.10. Funds in this department are &Lee invested in the same clam o eecuritiee as the insurance fund, and the .amount eollected in le bere,st during 1918 amounted to $14,095,02, the total amount at ledit ,csf this fund at the •end of the year being $34%213.19. The general fund of the order, which is the expense 'account fund, it. being maintained 'by a- levy of ten oents per on each member, die also in satisfactory shape, leaving the order in a subetantial position in respect to the prosecution of its work. Regarding membership also sub- stantial 'progress is indicated, the net result of 'the yearte operations showing a gain for 1913 of 3,019, making the total membership of the order on the 31st of December, 1913, 90,555.

So wrote Dr. A. 0.

In 1913 he was the' success- ful 'candidate for -the -Legislature as representa.tive or Beaver River, one of the northern constituenuies, of the Provinee. In November of last year the subject of this brief sketeh was sworn in as Atinister of Municipal Affairs for Albetta., and re-elected- by acclamation as 'mem- ber foe Beaver River in December of the same year. Born at Montreal on March 14,. 18773 the sen '<if Jos. E. Gariepy, are, again, very satisfamtory. They demonstrate that the- year 1913, which is the period cove -red by the reports referred to, was no excep- tion to the series of satisfactory re- ports that have occurred from ye,az to year in the 'order's experience. An interesting feature, in -connec- tion with the business of the order is, that since its inception in 1819, it has confined its business ,entirely to the Dominion of Canada, and the excellent result which the chair- man of the medical board has been able to report as to the death rate, which was 6.12 per thousand in 1913, and 5.28 over the ;society's ex- perience, is, no doubt, very largely due to the original decision of the founder& of the -order to operate only within tide Dominion. In all departments, material betterment is shown in the ftnanoial position of the order. In the year, the increase in the insurance funds amounted to $375,- 099, this fund .standing at the end of the year under review, after the payment of 554 death claims, amounting to $562,361.19, at $4,- 365.072,07. In this tonnectiou, it is interesting to note that the revenue accruing from investments, realized last year $188,416.28, which was a sufficient income from this source to look after ;the 33.34 per cent. of the death losses. In further referenee to the matter of investments, it will be of interest to our readers to know that -the order oonfines its investments, en- tirely, to munioipal and school de- benture* of the Dominion of Can - A perusa,1 of the reports of the various officers brings to attention the large amount of benefits that have been derived by the member- ship, as, since 1879, a sura of $9,- 000,000 ha,s -been paid in reel -teary and other benefits. This society -would appear to have been carefully guided since its inception.

According to a recent report of the Forestry Department, of New South Wales, good conduct con- victs at the state prison, instead of breaking atone, are now engaged in thc more useful and healthful work of replanting with trees the waste lands of the state At one -prison al.oue 25,000 trees, mostly Arneriean ash and pine were planted in 1913, and so successful have these planta- tions been that this work will be considerably extended in the pre- sent year. A similar idea, has been worked out successfully by the eity of San Diego in California, whith possess- es 7,000 acres of bare roiling sand land at a distanee of ten 'miles from the city. A trained forester was engaged to make this land profit - yielding, and under his direction the city's unemployed have been. given ,work planting this area, with trees 'suitable to the nature of the country. Other skies in the United States that, have found it necessary to purchase and reforest large areas on the watersheds governin thg :eir water -supply have advain- tageouely used the same kind of labor. • The ptirnary purpose ot etteh reforestation ill not, however, to furnish work to the ueemployed, beltbo develop a profitable source of revectue from land whieh would Oth6tivis,e remain unpeoduetive.

The accident to the Princess Fred- erika. of Efanover, the sister of the Duke of Cumberland, near. Biar- ritz, the other day, is a reminder of the fatal part that the automobile hag playedein the Guelph family in the course of the last feeryears. Prins* William of Cumberland, the .elder brother of the present Duke of Brunswick, was _killed in a,n accident to the auto alich he was driving near Berlin in May, 1912. The Kaiser sent an iinpres- sive- message of sympathy to the Prinee'S father, and the latter was eo affected by this and by other courtesies shown in connection with the burial that he quite unexpected- ly sent his youtger svon, Prince Er- nest August, to express this grati- tilde in person ab'the :royal palaeo atTicrstedavams . the 6rst meeting of a Guelph with a Hohenzollern since Hanover, the Guelph state), was annexed to Prussia in 1686.

The betrothal was at Karlsruhe last spring. The festivities were the occasion of another auto acci- dent in which the auto driven by the Prince's future brotber.in-law, Prince Adalbert of Prussia, ran over a boy in the streets of Karls- ruhe.

In his preface to "Antaretic Days," Sir Bruest Shackleton tells an amusing little story of northern Canada. A government geologist, with in- finit•e labor,- had collected 'some very inteeeebing geologinal speci- mens in a region far beyond civiliz- ation. Most of the 'collecting was done on the barren ground tivo hundred and eighty miles northeast of the Great Bear Lake. The scien- tific man and the porters of the party carried the rocks on their backs to the Great Bear Lake, pad- dled three hundred miles across the lake, and alternat,ely paddled and portaged fifteen hundred miles lap the IVIackenzie, Slave and Athabas- ca Rivers. , The laat portage was half a, mile - long at the Grand Rapids of the Athabasca, and it was done bY In- dian employees of the Hudson's Ray Company. The Indians were ingenious men, and they 'still tell with pride how they saved much la- bor by emptying all the heavy bags and boxes at the lower end of the rapids, and filling them again at the upper end with rooks tifeimilar weight. By this eneans thee- ;laved half a mile of difficult carrying. The substitatien was found out a year later in 'Ottawa.
