McGillivray Here and There Although the Canadian' 'Pacific Railway has_,,,yet issued no forecast of construl;tion contemplated for 1924, the fact that It has ordered '50,000tons of steel from the Algoma.

IMPOSSIBLE TO GET RELIEF Doti! She Started To Take "Fruit-a-iiees" The Medicine Made From Fruit Alberta's butter production last year was 18,500,000 pounds, or 2,000,000 pounds more than in 1922, according to reports presented at the annual meeting of the Alberta Dairymen's Association. It was not so long ago that Alberta was using butter imported from New Zealand. The year 1923 was a favorable one in the building and construc- tion activities of Canada, and re- turns show an advance of about 10 per cent. In 1922 the total expendi- tures in this regard were $315,000,- 000, and in 1923 $345,000,000, an increase of $30,000,000. Exports of pulpwood from Canada for the year 1923 amounted to 1,- 384,230 cords, compared with 1,011,- 332 for 1922, an increase of 372,898 cords or 35 per cent. The 1923 fig- ures are equivalent to about 900,000 tons of newsprint, the amount which can be manufactured from that amount of wood. C. E. E. Ussher, General Passen- ger Traffic Manager, and E. J. Hebert, First Assistant General Passenger Agent, of the Canadian Pacific Railway, have been present- ed with medals by the French Gov- ernment, in recognition of their ser- vices to the French Exhibition train in Canada in • 1921. The medals take the form of tablets on small stands.. Attention has been drawn once more by aii?ship• experts in London England, to the fact that the on13 known•.supp:y o helium gas in the British Empire":.exists in the Prov- ince of Alberta, that 10,000,000 feet of 'this gas is 'going to waste an- nually in. this province and that the possibility of - establishing an air- ship base at some future date in Al- berta is being discussed. Canada's fisheries production dur- ing 102:1 is cs:Smated to be worth $40,000,030. .tt tee beginning of the year it ;:as /Lit th.aght that a: ;•thin., like this ?.nark would be r: ed, for the 1'e;:•d. ey tariff had cu deeply into exports t.) the United States.

She stands second only to the United States in automobile exports. Her flour exports are far ahead of the palmiest war years and are rap- idly gaining in the foreign markets. Canada's mineral, forest, agricul- tural and fisheries industries are now valued at $2,420,000,000, or $252,000,000 higher than a year ago. British immigration during the nine months ended December, tot- alled 64,127, compared with 28,525 in the corresponding period of the previous year, an increase of 125 per cent. Immigration from the United States was 17,282, compared with 18,982, a decrease of nine per cent. Total immigration for the nine-month period of 1923 was 124,- 680, compared with 60,247 in the same period in the previous year, an increase of 10.7 per cent. The Canadian .Pacific Railway has received from Boorings, Willis, Faber & Company, 2,152.10 pounds sterling for distribution to the of- ficers and crew of the steamship "Empress of Australia" for saving their ship and for salvaging during the Japanese earthquake. For the purpose of purchasing a memento to be ;presented to Captain Samuel .Robintron; C.B.E., R.N.R., then com- mander of• the ..'.Empress• of Austra- lia" and now commander of the "Empress of . Canada" on her world Bruise, 210 pounds sterling have 'been retained from the above amount.. Plans are being made to honor the captain when the "Em- press of Canada" reaches Yoko- hama next May, the Japanese gov- ernment participating in the cere- monies. Here and There • it Manitol.a is perhaps the most marrying province in Canada, For instance, in Ontario, there were 24,- 871 marriages in 1921, a rate of 8.5 per 1,000, while in Manitoba it was 8.7 per 1,000 of its 610,000 popula- tion. Eastbound steamship travel from, Canadian . ports • via Canadian Pa- cific steamships is heavier sat the present time than for several years past at this season, a recent report declares. Bookings in some instances have run as high as 70 per cent in- crease over those of last winter. According to a recent official com- pilation, out of every 100 people in Canada 51 live on farms. The 70,- 000 farms in Canada, represent a gross worth of $700,000,000 or about $10,000 per farm, and produce an annual revenue of nearly $1,500,000, an average income per farm of $2,- 000 yearly. From the opening of the crop year, September 1st, to the official closing of navigation, ',December 12th, the Canadian Pacific Railway reported the heaviest marketing of grain since the inception of the road. Cars loaded by the company also created a record for the season, hav- ing numbered 116,232. Grain mar- keted topped the 200,000,000 bushel mark. Thirty-seven per cent of all auto- mobiles in Canada are owned by farmers. Ownership of the balance, according to recent statistics, is made up as follows: business men and brokers, 16 per cent; salesmen and travellers, 16 per cent; profes- sional men, 8 per cent; laborers, 4 per cent; contractors and livery men, 3 per cent each, and miscellaneous and no occupation stated, 13 per cent, When the Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Canada" left New York on January 30th for her great round -the -world cruise, she was the first Canadian vessel ever to com- mence such a voyage carrying a regular bookstall in the charge of experienced attendants, in addition to a free library. The stock includes many excellent recent books on travel, which will enable passengers to prepare themselves for the for- eign lands they will visit, as well as a large number of novels by the best-known authors. Of the total wheat exported from Canada in November, amounting to 64,196,903 bushels, by far the greater proportion went to the United King- dom, which took 43,815,391 bushels. The United States was' second larg- est importer of Canadian wheat, taking 9,010,143 bushels. Italy came next, taking 4,013,152 bushels, and , Greece next, with 2,066,430 bushels. The exports of Canadian wheat to France during this period amounted to 1,323,368 bushels and to Belgium • 1,015,216 bushels. Those to Ger- many totalled 129,320 bushels. DTsai'rriing .Criticism.

"After : a- speaker has told one or two good stories nobody but an exceptionally hard-boiled charac- ter would have the'heart to heckle him:' Watch That Didn't Vary. "Henry;" said Mrs. Gloonip, at din- ner, looking down at her watch, but speaking to Mr. Gloonip op the other side of the 'table, "nay watch hasn't varied a second in a week." . "Remarkable r said Mr. Gloonip, "how did you get it to,vary se little?" "1 broke; the mainspring." In the keenest competition, em- bracing entries from all important agricultural districts of the North American continent, Alberta farmers won 43 prizes at the recent inter- national stock and grain show at. Chicago. Two grand championships —wheat, Major G. R. L. Strange and oats, J. W. Biglands—went 'to the province. Major Strange was also first with white field peas and Nunemaker Brothers, of Brooks, first with red clover .seed. Major Strange's success is especially re- markable as he has only been a farmer four years. The latest statements of the earn- ings and expenses of the Canadian Pacific Railway show that the strong position of that organization bas been well maintained, and that a steady improvement has been achieved, in spite of the difficulties of the past few years. The figures for December show gross earnings of $19,136,674, working expenses of $16,180,546, and a net profit of $3,- 966,127, an. increase of $491,322 over that of December, 1922. The 1923 totals show gross earnings of $195,- 837,089, working expenses of $158,- 358,079 and a net profit of $37,479,- 010, 37,479;010, an increase of $1,177,319 over the total earnings of the road in 1922. Net earnings for this year were the highest since 1917 and gross earn- ings the highest since, 1920. Good Reason. Redd—They always call a ship she, don't they? Greene—Yep. "Weil, do they call an airship she, too?" "Certainly." .,Why ?„ "Because they're inclined to be flighty." The industrious Squaws. "Don't you think the American In- dian was badly treated?"
