C.—It is estimated; that during 1923, 800,000 , tourists~ visited Vancouver and from which a. revenue of $24,000,000 was derived, as compared with 700,000 and a revenue' of $20,000,000 in 1922. In 1916 less than 2,000 autos entered British Col-' urnbia. In 1920 the number had risen to 18,424; in 1922 to 38,284; these coming from Washington, California, Oregon, Montana, Idaho and other states. More autos arrived from New York alone than from all Canada east of Winnipeg, Calgary, Alta. — One thousand; young buffalo will be taken from the big park at Wainwright, Alberta, and turned loose in the north in the region in which wood buffalo are found, Hon. Charles Stewart, Minister of the le- terior, announces. This will remove part of the objection to the slaughter; of these animals made necessary by i the increasing size of the Wainwright herd. Regina, Sask.--It is estimated that; Saskatchewan's 1923 crop will yield $276,844,650, distributed as follows:' wheat, $189,466,500; oats, $56,895,600; barley, +7,620,800; rye, $4,698,500;;; and flax, .$9,168,250, These figures are based on crop yield reports and gaug- ed at the average price which is ex -1 petted to prevail during the sellingi season. Winnipeg, Man.—All transportim tion records have been shattered in; the handling of grain ship -meets from; the Prairie Provinces during the past two months. Since the commencement of the crop year on September 1st loadings totalled 121,596 ears, repre- senting 169,053,085 bushels, as cam - pared with 168,795,820 bushels, handl- ed for the same period of last year. Of this quantity the Canadian Pacific has. loaded 68,469 ears, representing 100,$07,085 bushels, as against 94,071,- 320 bushel& during the 1922 period:, Port Arthur; Ont. -Pians are said to be in course of preparation by ele- vator companies now located at the head of the lakes, for the construction of an additional 3,500,000 to 6,750,000 bushels storage capacity in Port Arthur next summer. One 'company now operating at Fort William, is stated to have sanctioned plans for a plant in Port Arthur with s capacity of 1,500,000 bushels. Quebec, Que.-Work on the Keno - gaud dam is reported at the Running Streams Commission • offices here as progressing very well, and the $2,000,- 000 works located at the upper part of the Saguenay River are expected to be completed within fifteen months. As a result of these works, the mills operated by the Price interests will be kept in full activity during the whole year, instead of partly closing down in the winter months, as they had to do in the past Woodstock, N.B.—The Victoria Mills plant of the Fraser Company, Ltd., will be operated throughout the coming winter following the sane pol- icy which was adopted last winter. The winter's operations will be con- fined to the cutting of laths and shingles. The expectation is that the operation of the mill and the getting out of material for the winter's saw- ing will give about two hundred men continuous employment throughout Ithe season. FRENCH DEMANDS REFUSED BY BRITAIN Italy Also Declines to Support Punitive Measures Against Germany. A despatch from London says:— The British Government will not ac- cede to the demands of France for unitive measures against Germany, from which he has just returned to p a e Ottawa. Mr. Low spoke ofgeneral and has notified the British Arabes- p g sailor in Paris to so inform the Come- spirit of optimism which he noticed in Western cities. He said that it was felt that the turning had now been made towards pre-war prosperity, and good harvests for another couple of years was all that was needed to com- pletely put Western Canada back upon its feet. The increased use of the Vancouver- Panama Canal route for shipping Western -wheat was one of the most significant things he noticed en his trip, said the Minister. Canada's Wheat Crop Runs Close to 500,000,000 Bus. A despatch from Ottawa says:— "There seems little doubt now that the erap of 1923 will run close to 500,- 000,000 00,000,000 bushels," said Hon. T. A. Low, Minister of Trade and Commerce, in commenting at length upon a trip of inspection through the Western prov- inces rovinces and as far as the Pacific coast oil of Ambassadors. This action was taken after the Cabinet at a lengthy meeting had de- liberated on the punitive measures M. Poincare, the French Premier, pro- poses to take against Germany to force the .extradition of former Crown Prince Frederick William, and permit a full resumption of Allied military control in Germany, which has been suspended for the past ten months. The Foreign Office, , immediately the Cabinet meeting adjourned, tele- graphed Lord Crewe, the British Am- bassador to France to inform the Council of Ambassadors when it re- sumes its sittings, that Great Britain remains firm against the imposition on Germany of the severe coercive penalties threatened by France. As Premier Poincare declares France will enforce these •penalties separately if Great Britain refuses to join her, there appears to be a hopeless dead- lock between the two nations which some of the political observers believe portends an ultimate dissolution of the entente cordiale. It is felt in Ministerial circles here that matters are exactly where they were last August, when Lord Curzon, the British Foreign Secretary, sent his famous note to Premier Poincare, in which he declared that Great Bri- tain could not much longer delay sep- arate action toward a settlement of the Ruhr situation without the grav- est consequences to the recovery of. trade and to the peace of the world. A despatch from Rome says :—"The Italian Government cannot give its approval to any further occupation of German territory," Premier Mussolini declared in the Senate on Friday night. "One must have the courage to say that the German people cannot be destroyed," the Premier continued. "They are a people which has known civilization and which may to -morrow be an integral part of European civil- ization." Signor Mussolini intimated that Italy did not contemplate such an ex- tremely grave step as breaking with. France, which might involve another European conflagration and leave Italy isolated. The Premier declared the request' to deport the former Crown Prince from -Germany was a mistake. It, meant another deadlock, for the Prince could not leave Germany with- out further complicating the situation.? Prices in Britain of Canadian Cattle A 'despatere from Ottawa says :— Two further outbreaks of foot and mouth disease at Glasgow .are report- ed in a eable received by the Depart- ment of agriculture covering the British cattle market during the past week. Quotations at that port axe, not available as all sales of live stook have been prohibited. „During the week 756 Canadian cat- tle were sold at Birkenhead mostly at from 18% to 19% cents per pound in -ink. t" There were three shipments of Cain -1 adieu cattle from 54ontrea1 during the past week, with a total of 1,363 head. The shipments were to Liwerpool,x Dundee and Glasgow, respectively: , • J. E.

".<aw: THE BIG STAR IN THE POLITICAL FIRMAMENT Britain again faces 'an election on the issues of Protection versus Free Trade. Premier Baldwin and the Conservative party has declared for Protection, and Lloyd George and Asquith have patched up a difference of seven years' standing to fight for Free Trade, Lord Birkenhead, who was believed to be in the Conservative fold, has apparently broken with Baldwin and may support Free Trade. Ramsay MacDonald, leader of the Labor party, will make" a strong fight to secure the reins .of government, and it is expected that the Labor -Socialists have drop- ped Capital Levy from their program in an effort to capture public support. Lord Rothermere, the greatest news- paper owner in Britain, whose papers are said to reach eighty per cent. of the reading public, has yet to declare leis position in the fight. In the picture above are, left to right, toe row, Lord Birkenhead, H. H. Asquith; second row, David Lloyd George, Premier Baldwin; bottom row, Ramsay MacDoua Id and Lord Rothermere. CANADA IS SELLING - MORE WHEAT TO U.S. October Figures Show In- crease, Smaller Shipments to Britain. - A despatch from Ottawa says:— Exports of wheat from Canada to the United States showed a big increase in October over those of October a year ago, whereas exports of wheat to Great Britain showed a marked failing off. For the two months (mdad October —that is to say, for the fret two months of the present grain sea- son, total exports of Canadian wi,-at wet e considerably less than during the same period last year, while exports of flour showed a slight increase. Wheat exported in October amount- ed to 29,070,547 bushels, value $39,- 528,796, as compared with 37,593,074 bushels, value $40,017,249, in Octnber, 1922, according to -the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics. The United States purchased 3,119,982 bushels of Can- adian wheat last month as compared with 1,716,020 bushels in October of last year. on East Ontario Road A despatch from Brock-ille, Ont., says;—Daznied by the headlights of* their motor car, a buck weighing 18-6 pounds dressed, was stunned by a stone hurled at its head by Simeon Richards.

SMUTS URGES INTER- NATIONAL MEETING South African Premier Advo- cates Conference on Repara- tions Regardless of France. A despatch from London says:— General Smuts, Premier of South Africa, on the eve of his return home from the Imperial Conferenceurges an international meeting, with or without Franee, to settle the repara- tions question, In a letter to the Times, he says: "Our duty is clearly to go forward even if France does not march with us. France, on January 11 last, went forward without us to seek repara- tions in the Ruhr and shall we shrink from going forward without her when something far deeper, far more funda- mental is at stake? "As a limited inquiry is now ap- parently dead, the wider conference acceptable to both Britain and the United States should be reverted to. That clearly is what the Imperial Conference contemplated, That prob- ably is what the British Government contemplated when they hinted at separate action in their note of Aug- ust ubust 11." Even should France absent herself' from this conference, General Smuts hopes that the United States would attend. Inquiry in official circles elicited the comment that the election situa- tion here makes any such move from England impossible until after the new Government takes office about the middle of December. It is certain, therefore, that whatever happens in the international situation, short of .a tremendous catastrophe, Britain will refrain from any action during the next month.
