A.s an agency for soiling interest in 6 Canada Should Take Advant- age of Exceptionally Favor able Conditions'for Tourist Business, "Tourist traffic ie one industry ripe for development' 1n Western Canada at the present time," is the statement of one of the engineers of the Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Department of the Interior, on return- ing from an investigation of the na- tural resources of southern Alberta and British' Columbia. This engineer states that our attractions to tourists in this area constitute one natural re- source really to "cash in" on Immedi- ately with little expenditure and no diminution of the original' assets on which it is founded. Canada hae the natural attractions to meet any competition toy the Ameri- can automobile and other tourlst traf- fic. Shp has the big game and other sporting attractions, the waterways, scenery, summer climate, and so on. The service provided by our railways is the hest and our highways are now comparable with many of the main highways in the United States, and they are being rapidly extended and Improved. We have the material to sell and we have a ready•market, creating a sites. - tem of remarkable possibilities. It is a situation which has developed very abruptly -mainly within the last few years. Next door we have a nation, with nearly 110,000,000 people and over 15,000,000 automobiles, bordering us clear across the contill. ant. eldest of the motor cars are owned by people with the means and inclination to tra- vel. It is doubtful whether any coun- try ever faced such favorable condi. tions as Canada enjoys to -day with regard to the tourist traffic—a class of business which has long been nurs- ed as a large source of income in such counttiel as France, Italy and Switz- erland. In the report of the. United States foreign trade for 1923 the expenditure of tourists abroad is estimated at $600,000,000. The increasing tautest travel in Canada bids fair` 10 absorb a considerable -portion of this annual ex pendilure. What is required more than any-: thing else to take full advantage of this situation and to create a still more thriving and remunerative Indus- try is a spirit of co-operation .among tile various organizationa dealing with this tri,lfle. The efforts of the Natural ur natural resources Clnada's tourist traffic plays an Important part, The American tourist generally has an eye to business as well as pleasure.

World's Largest Electric Fan Made for African Gold Mine The largest fan in the world is at present being erected on one of the Rand gold mines. Thirty feet in diameter, it will carry eight blades, each ten feet across, writes a Johan- neeburg correspondent of The Morn- ing Post, London. It will drive 9,000 cubic feet of air a minute, and it will take a 15,000 horse -power steam en- gine to turn it at 120 revolutions a minute, The fan is to be placed above a circular shaft 3,600 feet. deep to draw out the foul air from the entire underground workings.

Natural Resources Bulletin. The Natural Resourcea Intelligence Service of the Depart. of ,the Interior et Ottawa says:— Development of natural resourcee means very considerably more to Can- ada than the taking out of raw ma- terial. Associated and necessary in - tenses are found in the large and modernly equipped industries that make up our urban centres. Take our agricultural products for example. In order that the best re- sults may be secured modern machin- ery is necessary, while to market the crop requires many and varied acces- sories. Our flour mills, to make their output available to the ecnsunter, aro large users of cotton and paper bags, which run into many millions aerie. - ally. Fruit growers require millions of containers, such as boxes, baskets, crates and barrels, to place their pro- duct on the market. Forest development has built up huge manufacturing plants to provide the necessary machinery, while the output of our forests provides the raw material for many of our large industries. Water -power development, provid- ing tho hydro -electric energy which operates huge pulp and paper mills and other plants, affords 'employ- ment to armies of mechanics in. the manufacture of machinery and electrical equipment. A re- cent order for this portion of a new paper mill amounting to between $800,000 and $900,000. Mineral production, due to the wide variety of output, the many purposes served anti the almost innumerable products into which minerals in some form enter, requires a varied range of machinery and equipment. From the manufacture of explosives, with which nearly all mining is carried on, to the containers used in marketing, prac- tically all trades •are called upon for supplies. One illustration of the lat- ter, is the manufacture of cement. This product reaches the consumer al- most entirely in cotton bags. Last year the output of cement in Canada was 7,768,652 barrels, equal to 31,- 074,608 bags. The manufacture of enormous numbers of hags absorbs a. great amount of cotton aid labor. It is estimated that these cement bags average about eight trips to and from the mills and that only two or three round tripe age made annually. To handle the annual output of cement would, therefore, require. about four million new hags each year. Gold and other precious metals are shipped in oak . kegs, gypsum and plaster are marketed in paper bags, salt is packed largely in cotton bags, while liquid minerals, such as oil, gasolines, etc., are shipped in barrels and tin cans. Marketing of fish else calls for a variety of containers, front the small sardine can to the oak barrel for pickled fish, while a great portion of the ;salt outeut' of Canutla is absorber} by her fisheries. Natural resources and theh devel- opment may not appeuz to be of great interest to our people generally, but there is not oife Canadian but-wlii, is directly or indirectly interested --- either his livelihood d•agctids upon his earnings therefrom of his Investments are absorbed and his dividend retires are governed by such developieent.
