„A second party of Swiss immigrants
'recently arrived at St, John aboard
the Melita and are en route for the
'West, where they will engage in
agriculture.,
Twenty-two thousand immigrants
to Canada from the United States
were inspected on trains' and high»'
way crossings at the 33 points: from
Port Arthur to Kingsgate, B.C., dur-
ing March of this year. "'
To date the port of Vancouver has
shipped or booked 17,000,000 bushels
of wheat to the Orient and South
America. The railroads expect at
leest 2,500,C.:,..) additional bushels to
be shipped this way in the near
future.
The memory of the early mission-
aries of the Oblate Order will be
perpetuated by the Canadian Pacific
Railway, and several stations on tho

There are thirteen new paper
making machines being installed in
Canadian paper :nibs this year.
When erected and running fall these
machines will consume more than
350,000 addieional cords of wood a
year. Canada is already annually
consenting and exporting more than
5,00:1,000 cords of pulpwood, repre-
senting the growth of a century or
more on 1,250,000 acres of land.
A new service for motor tourists
desiring to pass between the main-
land and Vancouver Island has been
inaugurated between Bellingham and
Victoria. The Motor Princess, with
a capacity for fifty automobiles and
250 passengers, plies twice daily be-
tween the ports. This boat is motor
driven and the first of its kind to
be operated on the Pacific side of
the continent.
In 1922 Canada produced 2,413
tons of salt cake, valued at $54,804,
and 1,329 tons of Glauber salts
valued at $42,719, according to gov-
ernment figures. There are a num-
ber of immense deposits of Glauber
salts in the province of Saskatch-
ewan, which are at the present time
only in the initial stages of develop-
ment, but it is anticipated that the
next few years will see a consider-
able increase in production.
The Canadian exhibit at the Brit-
ish Empire Exhibition, to be held in
London from April 20th to October
31st, 1924, is to be financed, con-
trolled and directed by the Federal
Government. The estimated cost is
$1,000,000. The two Canadian rail-
roads are planning exhibits on ad-
joining sites, each with a floor space
of 10,000 feet. The cost of the Cana-
dian Pacific exhibit is estimated at
$300,000.
The Canadian Pacific steamship
"Empress of Russia," upon her last
sailing, carried a shipment of Cana-
dian frogs for Japan. Cool space
was reserved in the hold of the liner
and the travellers were well packed
in ice. On being taken ashore at
Yokohama these frogs will be gradu-
ally warmed until they are ready to
be let loose, when they will be lib-
erated on the lawns of Japanese
importers, with the idea of giving
the Japanese a new industry in the
production of frogs legs.
Here and There
j • Vancourer as a grain port has
gone ever the topand is assured of
achieving the 1$000,000 bushel ob-
jective set for the 1922-1923 crop
year according to statistics issued at
the
year,
Merchants Exchange.
A Canadian Pacific Railway train,
ever half a mile long, left Oshawa for
New York recently. The train was
composed of 52 flat 'ars, each carry-
ing from four to six automobiles,.
and was the first solid train to leave
Oshawa for New York.
Making the heaviest loading since
the, big crop year of 1916, grain
loaded on the western lines of the
Canadian Pacific Railway from Sep-
tember lst, 1922, to March 7th, 1923,
inclusive, totalled 118,565 cars. This
is 16,000 more cars than were loaded
during the corresponding season of
last year.
While in mid Pacific, the wireless
operator of the Canadian Pacific
Steamship "Empress of Russia" was
in touch with the Leafield wireless
station in England, and received a
number of news items. "The ether
waves were evidently carried .across
the North Pole, as we were on the
other side of the world," said Cap-
tain A. J. Hocken, commander of
the liner.
•
An Owen Sound deputation which
recently interviewed Canadian ,Pa
cifi- Railwzy officials in Toronto,
urged the building of a line from
Owen Sound, through:.Meaford and
on to Collingswood and then on to a
point on the Sudbury line near Cold-
water. The officials are reported to
have been interested by the sugges-
tions made by the delegation. •
Captain A. J. Hosken, R.N.A., of
the Canadian Pacific Steamer "Em-
press. of Russia," has been awarded.
the Medaille d'Honneur de Sauvelage
de premiere Glasse by the French
Government, for the part taken by
him as commander of the' liner
"Monteagle" in saving the crew of
the French steamer "Hsin Tien", off
the China coast.
There is a gold rush on to Rouyn
township, in northern Quebec, to
Labrador and now to the Soo dis-
trict. In fact, the whole northern
district has immense areas of rock
bearing more or less gold,. and the
question is whether the quantity is
large enough to make a real mine.
Gold mining will be one of Canada's
`greatest industries twenty-fiverears
from now.—"Mail & Empire,'
Still another case of ' children
travelling alone. Elmer Lann, five
years old, and Roland Callwell, seven
years old, both living on .St. Denis
street, Montreal, were missed by,
their parents who did not hear of,
them after their disappearance until
notified by Canadian Pacific Rail-
way officials that the children were
in Quebec city, to which place they
had begged a ride.
The initial shipment of cattle since
the Embargo removal was recently,
inspected by the Hon. W. P. Mother -j
well, Minister of Agriculture, in the
C. P. R. stock yards, Montreal. They,.
were stall -fed Ontario cattle front
along the Canadian Pacific West of:
Toronto, with the exec tion of cal
car load of Western cattle the lat-
ter being in the best condition de-
spite the fact that they had had a
28 hours run from North Bay. The
minister expressed the opinien that
the cattle being shipped were of the
first quality.
POLITICS AND
THE HYDRO
.,max
Byr. E. Middleton.
In the recent, election in North -Fast
Tarp. t0 ' e Old Party sand a es
were favor of `Hydro' ga}d
the ' adials. One said: "My
p o d Partr's principles areaoar-
xied into practice by the Hydro.'Ejee-
trio Power Commission of Ontario,"
The other said: "My grand old Party
started Hydro. It was in office when
the work began under the supergn
and control of the Hydro -Electric
Commission."
When contesting candidates ate
agreed on any public question, ti} _ t
question is either wholly outs je
politics, or else is settled for ever. In
North-East Toronto the great inaaa
of the people believe in the principle
of conserving power -resources for 4 ;
benefit of all citizens. They have
seen that principle in action and have
not been disappointed. They emir
sider with satisfaction their monthly
Power and lighting bilis. They have
confidence in the ardor, the gaithase
iasm and the public spirit of the ,
dro-Eleotric Commission. They'
realize that the Comtxaission, and the
Commission alone,, is their defence.
against a group of private exploiters
who are represented perfectly in the
street -railway service of Toronto,;
For these varied and cumulative
reasons, support of "Hydro" is almost
a religion in the capital of On 1o.
The candidate who did riot make his
position clear and unequivocal with
respect to the great municipal co-
operative power business would not
have a ghost's chance at the pone.
The ordinary Liberals and Con-
servatives who usually accept withopt
complaint the choice of the Patty
leaders and vote as they are expected
to vote, are of one mind on Hydro.
Some business men, financiers and
political leaders may wince at the
thought of Public Ownership, but the
common people, the small proprietors
and tenants, have made up their
minds that Sir Adam Beck is trust-
worthy, and that the Hydro -Electric
System is a triumph of enlightened
statesmanship.
Democracy is founded on the priw-
ciple that all citizees have an inher-
ent right to fair treatment. The pop-
ple of Ontario own the power latent
in falling streams. There is neither
Democracy nor logic in a plan of
development based upon heading over
that ownership to private individuals
and allowing them to exploit the pub-
` lio necessity to their own great ad-
vantage.
By co-operative municipal owner-
ship and operation of hydra}dic works,
transmission lines and distributing
systems under the executive control
of a central Commission the one dan-
ger of Public Trading has been avoid-
ed: namely, the inefficiency which
comes from political patronage in
action. The people of Ontario know
well that the Hydro Electric System
is a notable success, as well 'rein an
'engineering as from a #inanoigl vietc:
point, For that reason the great
majorityhave eliminated it entirely
from their political thinking, and have
' 'gupport their ardent and unfeigned
s.
