Won Many
Prizes
Cattle From Brussels and Ethel
Vicinity Win Many Ribbons at the
1928 Feeders Cattle Show at Tor-
onto last week.
The 1925 Feeder Cattle Show at
Toronto was one of the most suc-
cessful in history of feeder shows.
The exhibit of cattle this year was
very good, there being over 05 car-
loads of cattle there. The quality
of steers this year were of a marked
higher type than previous and cer-
tainly made competition quite keen.
The country around Brussels and
Ethel was exceptionally well repre-
sented, not only in the number of
cattle shown from this district out
in the number anti kind of print;
won. The prizes won by' A. Mae -
Donald were: Reserve Champion
earlot; champion carload of Short-
horns; 1st for 2 year old carload of
Shorthorns; Grand Champion of all
groups; 1st for group of five Short-
horn yearlings; 1st for group of five
2 year old Shorthorns; 2nd for
group of five 2 year olds; 4th for
group of five two year olds; 4th for
group of five two year olds; and 4th
for mixed carload.
The prize won by A. C. Dames was
first for carload of Angus yearlings.
0. H. Walker won 2nd for 2 year
old carload of Herefords.
The sale was well attended and in
consideration of the slump in the
market the selling was very good.
The Grand champion carload owned
by Ackert, brought $12.00 while the
Reserve champion load of A. L. Mc-
Donald's outsold them, bringing 12'4
and will be fed in Canada by Geo.
Rowntree.
The yearling cattle seemed to be
in greater demand. Senator O'Brien'„
load bring $12.70 and A. C. Dames'
$12.50.

graphed at Banff Springs hotel.
Anne of the most outataniling groups of eastern
business men that over visited western Canada
together accompanied Mr. E. W. Beatty, chairman
and president of the Canadian Pacific on his recent
annual tour over the company's western lines. The
party which was representative of the finaneial and
industrial activities of all Canada left Montreal at
the end of August and spent a full month travelling
shout the country between Montreal and the Pacific
coast.
The purpose of the tour was to become more con-
versant with western conditions and problems—and
more particularly to visit The Peace River country,
most of the party never having been there before.
The party returned east with optimistic views re-
garding the entire country visited.
"I have never seen the country looking better at
harvest time," said Mr. Beatty on his return, "and in
all my experience I have not previously found so gen-
eral a feeling of complete confidence in this country
and its possibilities as was observed in the cities and
districts where we' 'made stops and had an opportunity
of talking things over with their representative citiz-
ens, More than ever amlimpressed with the potential-
ities of Canada's north land. I think it almost not
too much to say that Canada's future lies to the north
and that the opportunities already discernible there
are a challenge to the oncoming youth of the older
parts of the country.
"We had an excellent opportunity of learning this,"
said Mr. Beatty, 'during our 'visit to the Peace River
country which most of us had hot previously seen. As
a result of that visit we have arranged to take over
aid operate the E,D. & B.C. Railway, which arrange-
ment, I believe, will prove very greatly to the advan-
tage of that country and the people who live there. 4
It is a beautiful as well as a fertile country,' con-
tinued Mr, Beatty. 'I can perhaps liken it best of all
to some parts of olcl Ontario. It is a rolling country,
in some places quite heavily wooded and much broken
by lakes and rivers. The soil is generally a rich, black
loam and highly productive, and although there is a
steady movement of settlers into the area which will
no doubt increase.. in volume as it becomes better
known, its extent is s0 great that it must 1)e years
before the available land is all taken up, Our party
took every advantage of the opportunities offered to
see the country. We motored over three hundred and
fifty miles of its excellent roads, and almost every-
where we found fine farms or newly broken homesteads
and in some cases. well settled communities having
every appearance of prosperity.. In town and country
alike we met with a cordial welcome and I think our
visit was taken as a friendly gesture of interest on the
part of the East towards the new, far Northwest. We
motored over the British Columbia border line as far
as Rolla and as far north as Peace River Landing,
and still feel we did but touch the edge of Canada's
great north.
"It is hardly possible to say what the next few years
Will bring to that country, but we must recognize the
fact that there is a new Canada being opened up well
beyond what we have previously considered to be the
northerly limit of habitation and prodtiction. We hope
that we shall very shortly be able to go to work on
the task of putting the E.D. & B.C. Railway into
better shape e to serve the communities it reaches. p Much
money will have to be spent in order to bring it up to
standard and it will also take some tilne.

Some of the finest of thee., law
roads are to be found in the maritime.
Alps westward from Nice. tier( In a
region of narrow vallo:y ,, low ridges,
and mountains with hatstopped
peaks, there extends over a stretch of
some seventy miles of country a rot -
lection of ancientow
towns; towns for
the most part deserted, that dream in
the sun of memories of the past.
Most of them are off the beaten path,
and until the gradual expansion of
motoring toads in the last few years,
an extension still being continued,
they were only reached after a steep
climb on foot tip narrow paths first
worn by nimble goats. Indeed, it was
largely the tourist demand to visit
these places that led to 0 series of
roads remarkable in construction and
very costly, but which have already
more than paid for themselves
through money spent by visitors,
These accent towns basking sleep-
ily in the mild climate are, scattered
here and there on scores of ridge
tops, or on fiat little plateaus mark-
ing the culmination of the low moun-
tains of the region. They are all very
much alike, these brown and gray
huddles of stone, with here and there
rising among theta the tower o1' a
deserted church. They are all about
the same age, belonging to the fif-
teenth century, though a few date
back to Roman times, Built In those
day's when defence was the first thing
considered, these ancient towns were
always placed on the edge of a ridge
or plateau, so that two sides at least
faced upon a sheer drop. The outer
walls of all the houses were built to
form one solid front, a stout fortifi-
cation broken only by narrow slits of
windows in the earlier centuries,'
through which arrows could be sped
or rifles fired. During the more re-
cent times of habitation some of the
old walks had parts of them knocked
out to give place to modern windows,
With the exception or such changes,
these relics of the historic past are
unchanged from the days wizen they
were erected from 400 to 000 years
ago. For long centuries the inhabi-
tants of these places terraced up the
meagre earth on tate surrounding
hillsides and valley slopes and gain-
ed a poor living frm the none too fer-
tile soil. But the last twenty - five
years have so changed living condi-
tions that to -day the majority of
these towns are deserted. In some of
them one or two families remain and
gain a living catering to tourists. For
the most part the inhabitants have
migrated to the big centres where
the manufacture of automobiles and
other industries gives them a living
which their barren fauns on the
rocky hillsides no logger offer in
these days of high cost of everything.
So the ancient towns now remain
dreaming in the sun, the only excite-
ment when a motor -car with tourists
arrives, and the visitors go prowling
through undulating and narrow
streets which once rang to the shouts
of men at arms fighting in the nar-
row ways, the clank of knights in
armor and the twanging of cross-
bows. As the towns are built of
solid stone, they will probably endure
for centuries to come,
And if the natives of the land have
largely oeasedto be interested in these
habitations of their forefathers, there
have been tens of thousands of for-
eigners yearly so eager to see these
historio spots that the "Routes Na-
tionales," the roads built by the Gov=
eminent, and the "Routes Deperte-
mentaloe," roads built by the dif-
ferent municipalities, have been ex-
tended to reach some amazing places,
till, by the end of the year there will
hardly bo an interesting part 'of re-
mote France that is not available to
the motor tourist.
A description is here given of one
of many pieces of similar roads, that
leading to the very old village o•f
Gourdon. This place stands on a high
point at the end of a long valley some
forty miles from Nice. To reach it
front the valley a road had to be cut
00 the face of the mountain, some
2,000 feet, Yet, though ttte ascent
is very steep, a road Was completed
Up which a ear of average power can
climb at the rate of twenty miles an
hour, This feat le achieved by a ser-
ies of switchbacks, some of them ex-
ceedingly short, In some places al-
most touching onuh other, In order
to overcome the ascent with an easily
climbable grade, When the road
reaches within a few hundred feet of
the top, a series of rooky benches
make the climb somewhat easier,

Sea and .invaded Africa, It was
brought to Canada in 1850. By 1870
it had spread all over the Eastern
States. It continued to extend its
