E tiA TIA 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. • The rd-'.'--. 10•asinr.:e.

This group was photo- 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. FECH MAB.!

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, Surveying %Vith l:xplosivee.

Two thousand years age the com- mon sparrow, familiar in so many Parts of the world to -day, lived only in Middle Europe Since that time it has covered all of Europe and enter- ed Siberia, crossed the Mediterranean 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 nanitarIOn inn nos roc years tea abundant throughout the United States and Canada.

"Aviation as a factor in commercial trans. portation has arrived and henceforth must be reckoned with on that basis" Mr. Beatty recently stated. "We have watched its development with keen interest, and while it is not possible clearly to see just in what direction or how tar progress may be effected iu the near future, it Inas already taken its place l+3 one Of the major trans,pOrt agen- cies gencies Whatever may hn'ppen in the distant future, it seems to me that at the present time there la little or no prospect of aviation assuming a serious- ly competitive attitude towa)nds present day modest of transport It is rather we ate auxiliary service to railroads and steamships that it is likely to func- tion for some time to come.
