Here and There
A new record has been established
by the Department of Marine and •
Fisheries in the number of white
fish eggs collected for hatchery pur-
poses in the Great Lakes and the
Lake of the Woods. A total` of 464,-
560,000 eggs were obtained, which
exceeds all previous collections in
the province of Ontario.
A new' deposit soapstone has
been discovered on Trap Lake, a
small lake south of Wabigoon Lake,
in northwestern Ontario. The quality
of the stone has been reported as ex-
cellent for various industrial uses,
and practical trials are under way.
Water transportation is available
direct from the deposits to Wabigoon..
and Dryden, on the main line of the
Canadian Pacific Railway.
It is announced by the Canadian
Pacific Railway that two free
scholarships covering four years'
tuition in architecture, chemical,
civil, mechanical or electrical en-
gineering at McGill University, are
offered, subject to competitive ex-
aminations, to apprentices and other
employees enrolled on the permanent
staff of the company and under 21
years of age, and to minor. sons of
employees.
Canada's fisheries' production dur-
ing 1923 is estimated to be worth
$40,000,000. At the beginning of the
year it was not thought that any-
thing like this mark would be reach-
ed, for the Fordney tariff had cut
deeply into exports to the United
States. But as the year wore on the
demand and prices generally im-
proved, thus giving fishermen along
the Atlantic coast especially a much
better market.
Approximately $5,000,000 will be
spent by the Dominion Coal Com-
pany to open up a new mine and
colliery at Lingan, Nova Scotia, and
construction of a branch line of rail-
way to the new site has already been
started. The new colliery will be
equipped with every modern device,
and a model town will be planned in
its vicinity. It will have,a capacity
of some 2,000 tons daily.
The tenth annual Ski Tournament
will be held at Revelstoke, February
5th and 6th, in connection with which
ski-joring, tobogganing, • snowshoe-
ing, skating, etc., will be featuied
An endeavor is being made to secure
the attendance of Uno Hilstrom,
Sweden's champion ski -jumper, as
well as other famous ski -jumpers
from both Canada and the United
States.
Canada in 1923 produced more
coal, lead, cobalt and asbestos than
during any other year since mining
records have been kept.' The• output '
of coal was in the neighborhood of
17,300,000 tons, or 635,000 tons bet -
to than the best • previous record,
and 2,000,000. tons over' that in 1922.
The output' of copper,,, -nickel, cement
and asbestos was also much above
that for the;', preceding years. Gold
production was down somewhat, but
this was due more to a power short-
age than anything else.
As a result of efforts. on the part
f H
oon. J. A. Robb, Minister of Im-
migration and Colonization, a 20 per
cent. preference rate on Atlantic
passages for all British immigrants
settling in Canada has been ar-
ranged to come into effect on March
1 and continue until the end of the
main immigration season at the end.
of November. It will apply only
to British immigrants coming direct
to Canada from the British Isles,
and will affect all lines coming to
Canadian Atlantic ports.

Three delightful cruises have been
awarded ` to agents of the Canadian
Pacific Railway for services'' rend-

That the Iate"rage weight of " Al-.
`berta's 1923 wheat was 64 pounds to
the bushel, or four pounds more than
the standard, is the statement of
George Hill, Dominion' Grain •In-
spedtor at Calgary.''
• The season of navigation for the
year 1923 is the longest since the
year 1814, or 109 years ago, accord- •
ing to a statement made at Quebec
by Captain J. E. Bernier, Arctic
explorer.
Two-thirds of Canada's exhibits
for the British Empire Exhibition
are now in England, most of these
being already at Webley. Among
them is a monster silver nugget,
weighing nearly three tons, the big-
gest ever unearthed, which was dug
up in Canada.
Twenty-nine million pounds of
halibut were landed at Prince Rup-
ert, B.C., during the past year, with
figures for the month of December
incomplete. This total is consider-
ably in excess of the previous year.
'Several large shipments were made
to Chicago and other middle West-
ern States' points.
• E. W. Beatty, President of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, has ac-
cepted the honorary presidency of
-the. Province of Quebec , Safety
League, succeeding the' late Lord
Shaughnessy, who was its first hon-
orary president.'The object of the
League is to institute safeguards for
the protection of life, especiallyo„
children, providing preeted play-
ground< and streets.
It is estimated by the provincial
tourist bureau of the Province of
Quebec that 125,000 American auto-
mobiles visited the province in 1923.
0f this number 40,000 travelled over
the King Edward Highway, the prin-
cipal route of autotnobilists from
across the border motoring to Mont-
real and a record in the annals of
that thoroughfare as regards Ameri-
can cars.
The Canadian Independent Oil
Company, of St. John, New Bruns-
wick, has closed a contract to sup-
ply lubricating oils of all kinds to
all Canadian Pacific steamships ply-
ing to Atlantic po=ts. This is said
to be the biggest contract for lubri-
eating. oils ever closed in Canada.
This company means a new indus-
aryfor St. John, for its compounding
plant will be located in East St.

The Klondyke is in the throes of
another gold and silver rush. At
the head of the Beaver River, 50
miles west of Keno Hill, 'a silver

ment of the Yukon, to the new coun-
,, try, where it is said assays reveal

than -they -ever were, -and: -enhanced facilities for travel with'a greater
degree of safety have stimulated, and not a little, the desire to see other
than their immediate environs. In the old days when. Columbus, Vespucci.
Balboa, De Soto and Drake, Cartier` and Champlain, and other bold
mariners sailed into the unknown and its perils on the seven Seas, much
'courage was needed but today --the World is every -man's oyster, nor does
it have to be opened with a sword. With a little time and comparatively
tittle money, one can see the places where history was made, far off countries
and strange people, and live the while, in comfort.
Four hundred years. ago, the first vessel to sail round the world lifted
anchor at Seville, and after three years of adventurous hardship returned
to her Spanish port. Only thirty-one of the two hundred and seventy
who set out ' came back, and only the Vittoria out of the original
Armada of five sailing ships. The spirit of these seafarers is illustrated by
the vow of Fernando Magellan their commander, as he set out from Tierra
del Fuegoacross the Great South Sea, that he would push on if he had
to eat the leather of the piggin'. Magellan himself was; killed in the Phillip -
pines, but ;.as he had already. reached that longitude on a Previous
voyage eastward from Spain, he is rightly credited with being the first to
circumnaiigate the globe.
It Sixty years after the Vittoria set out from Seville Francis. Drake,
with a fleet of five sailing ships and 164-•tnen sailed from.' Plymouth in -The
Golden Hind; and after a voyage . round .the: worlds. of .almost .three years,
returned with a rich loot of silver and gold, silk, pearls-and.;precious stones, •to
replenish the coffers of Queen,Elizabeth The, Golden Hind was the only

tons, whereas the Empresa -of. Canada, which sets out on a Round the
World Cruise from New York on Jai uai;y 30th, 1924, registers no less than
21,500 tons. Instead of three yearsofprivation and hardship, the voyage
will occupy four months of luxurious comfort The route will ba shorter, as
instead of rounding the Cape "of Good Hope the route taken is through the
Suez Canal, and instead .of traversing the stormy Straits of Magellan,
the American continent is finally crossed on the excellent road -bed of the,
Canadian. Pacific Railway. But many of the points touched by Sir Francis,
Drake and Magellan will be visited by the Empress of Canada, for instance,
Batavia, Sourbaya and the traverse of the Celebes Sea to the Phillipines.
The circumnavigators on the Empress of Canada will return laden . with
the rich experiences and mental treasures gathered from visions off
eighteen different countries,and contact..' with the costumes crafts and
civilizations of fifty different races. .
Encouraged by successes of former years, the Canadian Pacific has'
arranged for four cruisers in addition to the. Round the. World voyage
of the Empress of Canada. The Empress of Scotland will visit the cradle
of • civilization in a trip Round the Mediterranean, sailing from New
York on January loth. The superb Empress of Britain, will make two ,
cruises Round. the West Indies, leaving New York `'on january'22nd and
Februarys 23rd, and, before setting off round the world, the Empress oft
Canada will travel Round America, sailing . from Vancouver on January,
