Canaga From Coast to Coast
Vancouver, B.G�Ttu n
n the mat-
ter from all angles., the general im-
pression is that there will be fairly
decent lumbering business between
now and November; that the orders'
will then fall away, particularly an
the American side; and that with the
coming of spring there will be a re,.
juvenation of business that will makes
up for the big handicaps under which
the industry has been working for,
same months.
Victoria, 13. C... There are now in
operation considerably snare than 25,-
000 automobiles in British Columbia.
Plates running up to 27,000 are being'
issued by the Itemising office here and
Vancouver is working on a series cul-
minating \xith 30,000,
Medicine Hat, Alta. ---The Gas City,
Brick Company is installing a hollow
tile plant in cc'nection with their
present brick menufaetory, with a ea -
parity of 75 tons per day, Clay will be
brought from Eastend, Saskatchewan.
Regina, Saele-American anthracite
coal which in pre-war days was de-
livered in Regina for $13 a ton will
in the very near future cost mere
than double that amount. The ,increas-
ed freight rites on the American rail-
ways which go into effect en this
month have added another 80 cents a
ton to coal delivered at the head of
the great lakes. This will bring the
Regina retail price to $25 a ton. On
the assumption that Canadian rail-
ways will be granted an increase pro
rata to the American increase, the
additional freight charges from Fort
William to Regina will be $1,60 a ton.
This will mean that American anthem -
cite coal will have to be retailed
locally at not less than $26:50 a ton.
Winnipeg, Man. -There is a total
of 4,900 acres planted to potatoes in
the province, and a fair crop is ex-

people.
Plans have been approved for the
construction by the Dominion Oxygen
Co. of a $75,000 plant in this city.
Welland, Ont. -Positive assurance
has been given by Hon. Dr, Reid, Min-
ister of Railways and Canals, that a
start will be matte at the earliest pose
sible moment en the canstruetien of
a pipe line from Lake Erie to supply
the water works system cf St. Cathar-
ines, Welland, Merriton and Thorold.

age of 618 tons of coal each in 1919.

Appalling Loss in Europe
as Result of Great Conflict
A despate'h from Copenhagen
says: -The result of special researches
carried on here into the social con-
sequences of the war show an ap-
palling lass of life due directly to the
war. In December, 1913, the ten
chief European nations had a papula-
tion exceeding 400,000,000 souls. The
this up to over 424,000,000 persons
by the middle of 1919. Instead of this
the population was then only 389,000,-
000
89,000,000 or a loss of thirty-five millions.
Of this total nearly ten millions were
killed in war and over five and a
quarter millions in epidemics and
economic blockades. Some 20,000,000
are accounted for by the fall in the
birth rate.

A despatch_ from London says:-)
Two Cana •ion grievances a ievatn,,es against the
British Food Control pre, being re-
moved. As a result of several con-
ferences between the Canadian bacon
trades, W. L. Griffiths, Deputy High
Commissioner; Food Ministry officials
and Lord Milner, Canadian bacon will
shortly be controlled. Canadian pro-
ducers may also be required to give
some guarantee as to equitable distri-
bution.
The decision is important, as Can-
ada and the United States are now
engaged in keen competition to main-
tain the bacon trade to Britain built
up during the wear.
The other grievance removed is
with regard to discrimination in the
controlled price fixed for Nova Scotia,
apples, as compared with others, a
difference of six shillings being made.
Protests Were made by the High Com-
missioner's Office on behalf of the
Maritime Province' growers, and as a
result prices have been levelled. ` The
only objection which now remains on
the • part of Canada to the Food Con-
trol here is with regard to the pur-
chase of wheat, which is still under
Government supervision.
