In these matters he seems to he fairly in line with Mackenzie King, who bas also reduced national ex- pendituee and endeavored to promote unity throughout the Dominion. Conservative Leaders, both Federal and provincial are making highly imaginative guesses as to the support. they are likely to receive in the proviuee nr Qleebec. ft is true that both Patenaude and Bourasse are oat at all particular in the matter of th-ir e speeches sn long as they attain their respective objectives, but it,will take a great deal of speechmaking to ),rake the people of Quebec abandon their distrust of Ceneeevalism in any form, or dressed in any guise. Political expediency and servile compromise cannot after all, works miracles and it will be more than e surprise if the most ardent hopes of the Opposition Leader are not doom- ed tof disappointment. POPULATION AND PRODUCTION Of the many needs for the develop- ment of our country, the two not standing ones are population and pro. duction. In regard to the Former, the Liberal government has been pur- suing a selective policy. Perhaps the time has come to wake our field of preference a little wider, but there Eire ample sources of supply, and Mackenzie King has peomieed that his next minister .of Immigration will devote his whole time to the problem. If he turns out to be a man of claim) .and administrative ability, he should be able to work wonders in his de partment in a very short time• With courage and with confidence, the founders of this country, possinly moved by the successes of the United States, planned and developed the most wonderful system of railways, radials, transportation, canals, 'good roads and hydro•electric power time any country of equal eize has yet at- - tempted. If we fully realise three splendid resour•oes, we must have courage to adopt -intelligent means of expansion, and, above all, we must shave population, Canada has been getting hard knocks from some of ber own sons, apart from the statements of the Opposition Leader, whose Jeremiahs have begun to tire the people. One correspondent a fete days ago stated in the Preen ; "Conditions have been ab very bad in Western Canada, that even the very beat farmers could hardly keep above water." This: does not jibe with the fact that there has not been the crop failure in the proyince'of Manitoba tllie year, and that in Saskatchewan last week a world record was broken when 1,600,000 buebele of wheat passed through the elevators of one comp- any. The Dominion cannot prosper und- er the Meighen policy, but it will grow and flourish if the King govern- went is returned to power with a majority large enough to allow it to pursue to success and fruition those plans for the good of the country which the Ptemhee and his followers have foreshadowed from time to time during the present campaign. ar.,y FORGING AHEAD ..wa.-,W•...-, 3313,333, Onager Signals p'�a^,-.

This is the Gospel, the law and the prophets with the Meigbenites. The electors of this country should study the nature and source of this attempted indoctrination of the )people. If they give the matter care- ful thought -and we trust they do for their own protection -they will 'set that no matter who prospers by the" high and still higher" tariffs, they are persnus who pay the increased mist of commodities. But where does there exist at the present mameut any need for the uosttum, the pal- liative, the cure-all, proposed by the Conservative party ? Notwithstanning the anguished wails of polleicans anxious to get back inn oMee, Canada Is prospering and Win enjoy , en ern, of eventeatee prosperity in the 001 distant future. The glass is rising. This is proven by figutes that cannot be either con- tradicted or twisted to stilt the purpose of any side in the present eon test. Expports of Canadian products dur- ing the twelve months ending August 81st last, amounted to S1,180,758,650, an increase of over $70,000,000 as oompared wiih the preceeding twelve mouths. The increase in tate value of imports during the same year was $4,240,020, As indicating the value of the Briiieh market, goods valued at over $420,000000 went to the T7nit• ed Kingdon, while the Vetted States too entninoditiee Worth almost 444,,000,000.

It is esti- mated that 760,000 people from all over the continent visited Montreal last year, while this year the number is placed at a million. It is understood that .. contract has been let for the laying of a sub- marine cable from Vancouver Island to Suva, Fiji Islands, by the Pacific Cable Board. This is part of the "All -red" cable and wireless route which is being established between British possessions the world over. In order to facilitate the work of the air force patrol radio stations are being erected at the Pas, Norway House, Victoria Beach, and Fort Osborne Barracks, Winnipeg. The stations will be completed shortly and will have, it is stated, a radius of communication all over ' ,anada, 3 "Judging from the e...6tiet8 of sound business activity noticeable here, British. Columbia is launching into an era of constructive develop- ment which augurs well for ber fu- ture prosperity," comments Grant Hall, Vice -President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, who recently spent ten days on the Pacific Coast. "at long as the Canadian Pacifie Railway has a dollar left in its treas- ury, it will fight for the ideals, up- hold the faith and maintain the preci- ous heritage of confederation," said E. W. Beatty, Chairman and Presi- dent of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, when addressing the Canadian Manufacturers' Association at their annual convention held at Hamilton recently. Eleven hundred pounds of speckled trout, gray trout and pike were the trophies taken back to New York recently by seven members of the Caughnawaga Hunting and Fishing Club, private preserves near Mont- real, after a two-week stay on the fishing grounds. The catch included a 19-1b. gray trout and the average weight worked out at around eight pound*. • Frank W. Ashby, secretary of the Australian Manufacturers' Associa- tion, visiting here recently, said the impression in Australia was that Canada was the back door to the North Pole. People in the Antipodes think that Herschell Island and Baf- fin's Bay are linked up municipally with Montreal and Winnipeg, he said. He was surprised to find the Dominion had a delightful climate and cities more modern than those in Australia. What is stated to be the biggest log jam in sixty years recently oc- curred on the Montreal River in a gorge through which the river flows into Lake Temiskaming. 300,000 logs were piled up to a height of SO feet with a width of 250 yards, chok- ing the river for 300 yards down at the point where the jam took place.
