My ministers desire it to be known that the domiinon welcomes settlers of the classes which can be absorbed into our population. Regulation have been simplified, transportation elites greatly reduced, and the care of settlers to destine- , tion and during early settlement giv- en every attention. Measures will be taken to further the retention on the land of our existing agricultural population, to encourage the return to rural parts of urban dwellers pos- sessed of agricultural experience and the repatriating of Canadians now living in other countries. Special ar- rangements will be proposed for set- tlement on crown lands. Bring and Keep Settlers "An agreement has been made be- tween the government and the rail- road companies providing a larger measure of co-operation in immegra tion activities in the British Isles and on the continent ,of Europe. An agreement entered into with the British government has already been instrumental in stimulating immigra- tion from Great Britain. "While it is of importance to at- tract new settlers it is equally, if not more important, to assist those who are already established on the land by reducing the cold of agricultural production. To this end a measure will be introduced offering wide fac- ilities for rural credits. Create Tariff Boat d "Nly ministers are of the opinion that a general increase in the customs tariff would prove detrimental to the county's continued prosperity and prejudicial to national unity. In their view the incidence of this form of taxation shouldbear as lightly as possible upon the necessaries of life and on agriculture and other prim. ary industries. They believe that in the interest of industrial development every effort should be made to elim- inate the element of uncertainty with respect to tariff changes; that chang- es in, the tariff should be made only after the fullest examination of their bearing upon both primary and manulacturiag industries and that re• presentation:4' requesting iricrease o decrease of duties should be made the subject of tho rtiost Careful in- mentrawnswasswasszsmanszteasewrsaainess TOirlit Glaring Light Dangerous to the C9e5 Tone.LIto Icora brew wal row ivrAiriZ•Y yuareyea from tho danger- ,. eye, comfort bY PlotcctiN1 ous ultra -min ray, always rto.tt 10 ...se 01 oarrng lithe. gitra.vlolet raya s/waya 0400 nt .11.1111 PAW often Cat/SCD 1012t001. 11 a ou are net enloying 1111com fort thee comas wrarlug lone -Lit; Imam arc ua at cum tun about the 11,1V410400 of thla wonderful new 1, no recommended by all leading mantels, Includint NY Oliver Leduc.

R. Wigle, M P.P. for Centre Huron The Canadian Echo, of Wiurton. of Thursday, January eth, publieh the following obituary ef the father of le. R. Wigle, P P., of Centre Huron: • A gloom was east over the people of the town and vi enity on Tuesday afternoon whon they learn- ed of the death of Dr. Hiram Wigle. He had been in faring health for the past two months, and up to three weeks ago his friends entertained hopes for his recovery, but • on Tues- day lest his bet:limit and worthy car eer came to a close, and he passed peacefully away in the presence of his family. He was a gentleman possessed of the highest qualities of citizenship, and during his fifty years of resi- dence in Wiarton, had won for him- self the love and esteem of all with whom he came in contact, and by his passing, 'the town loses one of its most 'prominent and beloved citeees, and to his diligent and united efforts much of the early upbuilding of the town is due. The late Dr. Wigle wee born in the town of Kingsville, the son of Simon Wigle, who's father was an original U. E. Loyalist, and the old homestead has never passed out of the Wigle family. Incidentally, we might relate that when a lad, having received his primary education at Kingsville, he had a very keen desire to qualify himself for the. medical profession, and when he realized that his plans did not meet with the ap- proval of his father, he decided to make his way himself, and Bred with a farmer for a very small remunera- tion, However, his father under- standing his deterinination to carry out his ideal, induced him to return home, and he was sent to Komoka to attend a Grammar School. From there he entere.d McGill Univenity, and was a college churn oe the late Dr. W. Oder, the world's greatest physician. Following his graduation McGiel in 1875 he practised medi- cine in Essex Centre for ab.put six months. At that time settlers were .m becoming ore numerous here, and they decided to advertise for a doc- tor. He appl.ied and was accepted, and during the fifty years of reside pace here, has been a most success- ful practitioner. Just here we may say that 13. B. Miller was at that time Postmaster of Wiarton. The deceased gentleman was a very public-spirited man in his earl- ier life, and devoted considerable time .to municipal matters and fur- thering the interests uf the commun- ity. He will be remembered as one of Albemarle's former Reeves, in whieh capacity he served faithfully for two years. He also served on the Wiarton Public Sehool Board and also on the Council Board. He was Reeve of the Town he 1887 and 1888 and it was during his term of office that the present system of water- works had its origin. In the mean- time Weirton was growing rapidly, and its numerous industries coupled with its increased population was de- veloping into a thrivieg town, and it was largely due to the co-operation on his part that Wiarton was in that year incorporated as a town, and the late Dr. Wiele and B. 13. Maley were the two Maymelty candidates; Mn. Miller winning by a small majority of 20 votes.

ANS. - GEOGRAPHY ( From the Toronto Saturday Nigh,) During the four menthe which end- ed November 30, some 63,000,000 bushels of Canticle -in grain were ship- ped to the British isles via United States ports, while only 17,000,000 bushels passed out through Canadian ports. Publieation of this fact in the daily press had caused u large num- ber of heated editorials and letters from indignant readers, all demand- ing that Canadian grain shall here- after be restricted wholly to Cana- dian channels. Wilke Montreal has had a very busy season, Vancouver reels that she has not had her fair share of traffic. and Halifax is com- plaining bitterly, that not one buithel of Canada's 1925 crop had arrived there up to mid-December, notwith- :enacting that the Nova Scotian capi- tal now possesses two fine grain ele- vators, one of which was only com- pleted this year at a cost of more than one million dollars. Quebec has only had it few crumbs -from Mon- treal's table. The public is pleased to hear that Montreal has done so well, but at the same time wants to know why we do not keep within the country the graim traffic that now goes elsewhere. The answer is Geography. 'It has been given many times before, but iio one will accept it. The sad truth is that Halifax and St. John and to a lesser extent Quebec, cannot hope for a large share of the country's grain traffic unless that traffic is giv- en a Government subsidy that will reduce railway rates. Grain traffic Lo those ports cannot stand on its own feet because it is not econemic- ally possible. In addition to the long end expensive rail -haul required, the Marithne ports are at a disadvantage because of the comparatively small populations they serve. A vessel has a better chance of carrying cargo both ways when trading to New York Philadelphia, Baltiniore or Montreal than when erading to Halifax or St. John, which fact influences ocean rates to the disadvantage of the last named ports. In precisely the same way the American ports have an ad- vantage over Montreal. It obviously would not pay an ocean vessel, after discharging her inward cargo at; New York or Bose ton, to go on empty to Montreal or Halifax in order to load her outward cargo of grain, if it were possible Lor the required grain to be sent dir- ect to her dock at New York or Bos- ton. It should be xemembered that grain is not a very profitable cargo and that a very large proportion of the total exported is taken by ships merely as filler or ballast because of their failure to secure more remun- erative cargo. In such cases the grain -must seek the ship, not the ship the grain, and there are moreof such ships to be found on the busier Unit- ed States sea -board than hi Canadian ports. The former can also offer. a wider variety of millings. In spite of these great advantages offered by United States ports, the chief of which is their greater ac- cessibility to larger markets foe west- bound cargoes, the Canadian port of Montreal, for the fifth consecutive year, shipped out more grain in 1925 than any other port in the world. And there is a strikihg fact in con- nection therewith, which is often for gotten. Of the 164,747,859 bushels which Montreal elevators delivered to omen Vessels for export IA 1925, nearly one third of the amount, 51,- 794,427 bushels, was composed of United State grain. In 1925 Mon- treal handled 681569,959 bushels froin south of the border, consider- ablymore than one third of the total volume handled. For previous years the wetted is much the same. Theis, While it is true Quit melt Canadian grain finds an outlet via the United States, it is also true that moch United States' grain travele via LAPOINTE STOLE A MARCH ed to fumilierieing himself with,the United States end of his business, and, about September 1, Me. and Mi', McKenzie will sell -from Mon- treal for London, England.

Montreal handles the United States proinet in the spring and sum- mer. until the new Canadian crop starts coining down in September. For the two months of its navigation seaeon remaining, it works night and day to handle the domestic grain, but owing to the immense volume, much has to go elsewhere, and the line of least resistance is via Buffalo and the United States seaports. One sure way to increase the Can- adian flow is to enlarge Montreal's handlieg capacity. Buffalo to -day has a storage capacity of thirty-one million bushels; Montreal but twelve and a half millions. With suoh a lim- itation the Canadian "neck of the bottle," cannot help but become blocked occasionally. Not even the highly efficient organization and man- agement of the port of Montreal can make 'possible a flow of grain beyond its capacity. To make Halifax and St. John grain -handling ports on any consid- erable scale the people- of Canada must pay the cost in the form of railway subeidies, direct or Indirect, also provide the port facilities nec- essary. There is no doubt that every Canadian citizen is earnestly desirous of seeing the Maritime ports, and also Vaneouvei and Quebec, receive the share of Canada's grain traffic to which the yare justly entitled, but there is obviously reason to doubt if the people are presently in a posi- tion to assume an additional burden in respect of railway guarantees. It is a matter which might well receive the early attention of the new Dom- inion Board of Trade.
