knowledge teinong investors, that,
over aud above the admittedly gilt

the market for the last two yeas.%
has heea). a. very advantageous one,
from the investor's point of view,
and the leporte indieate that the
order has, been in a position to take
full advantage of these deeizable
conditions,.
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,-

are &Lee invested in the same clam

So wrote Dr. A. 0. MacRae, a
the Honorable Wilfred Gariepy, in
his histery of Alberta. inee the
above was written Mr. Gariepy has
more than ever won for himself a
place on the merit troll of 'distin-
guished men ha the Provinee a Al-
berta. 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. Even in spite of recent
stringent monetary 'conditions, and
-other factors that have militated
against the general progress of
fraternal insurance oancerns, the
year 1913, which !Might well have
reflected in the reports of the offie
se•re -such -conditions, on the con-
trary, demonstrate a eubstantia,1
and satisfactory progress
The isuperintendent of organiza-
tion has been able to report the
institution of forte --four new courts,
scattered over the . Dominion gen-
erally. This indicates -that the or-
der is alive to the desirability of
.establishing its agencies, in locali-
ties both in the older and in the
newer parts of the Doxoinion, as
the 'circumstances of the district
give 'reason to believe sueh courts
may become permanent and useful
centres for the acquisition of new
business'.ffi

PRISONERS PLANT FORESTS.
Australian Convicts Reforest Five
Ifundred Acres.
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.

trees 'suitable to the nature of the

Perhaps the only eity forest in Can-

Act making possible the acquisition
of such waste land for reforestation
purposes by municipal council, but
up to the present, time only one
county has availed itself of this op.
portunity. Quebec and the Domin.
ion Government have also passed
legislation to encourage tree plant-
ing, and the Dominion Forestry
Branch in the last fiscal' year dis-
tributed nearly 4,000,000 trees from

The accident to the Princess Fred-

the fatal part that the automobile

a,n accident to the auto alich he

Tell With Pride Ilow They Saved
Ruch Labor.
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

later in 'Ottawa.
