Vancouver, B. 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: ,

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.

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.
