Allied- Conference. - A despatch from Ottawa- says:— Canada _has' secured her point at the Inter -Allied Conference, Senator Bel - court will,, attend the conference as e member of the British Empire delega- tion, with full powers from the Icing to represent Canada and to sign on behalf of Can da. The syystem of r ep- resentation `to be followed will be similar to that adopted 'at the Paris Peace Conference, With three dele- gates, one .01 whom will be represen- tative epresen-tative: of the Dominions. There may some minor differ- ences front the •method followed at Paris. In this regard, the Dominion Government is not insisting on techni- calities. But the broad general prin- ciple of Dominion representation , it is intimated, has been accepted. Tho Dominion Government has been advised by Rt. Zion. J. H:, Thomas, Secretary of State for the Colonies, of a meeting of High Commissioners in London today at which Senator Belcourt was present. ' At this confer- ence Mr. Thomas outlined the proce- dure which the British Government desired to suggest `should bo followed -by the British Empire delegation, in theevent of the Dominions being di= rectiy:•represented at the conference. This proposal by Mr. Thomas -follows the panel System approved by the Canadian Government; Premier King has replied intimat- ing that the Canadian Government is preparedto accept and Senator Bel - court will therefore attend all meet- ings of the British Empire delegation, and, as Canadian representative, will attend the main Conference from time to time, according to arrangements made under the panel system. Man to Man. It is a recognized feat that in social intercourse' and business dealings mise understandings generally perish when those concern -ed meet face to face, Sometimes two who have a serious disagreement remain far apart, both physically and mentally, and bombard each other with .lettere. But the structure of mutual recrimination, built up like a spite fence by the vol- uminous correepondence, topples 'and falls when the two men; meeting at last, cut through, the web by a down• right, direct approach of sincerity, out. spokenness and candor.' Personalcontacts are all-important, not merely to the removal of suspicion,' but to the upbnikling of friendships and to their mainteuenee. • Rudyard Kipling recently spoke On Vale theme to "Rhodes sehblar5 at Ox. ford.'

Both. east and west and ire. the eentral provinces new developments are taking place within what Was at one time considered the undisputed habitat of wild life and the fur trader. In British -Columbia, on the Port- land canal, ; great developments are taking place in mining and Water- power. The Granby Consolidated Mining_and Smelting Company's Hig- gins mine, at Anyoa, is the largest cop- per producing mine in Canada. In 1922 its output was 30,334,180 pounds, or nearly •twathirda of the total cop- per production of, Canada for that year,. The Premier mine, which in 1922 produced 123,627. ounces of gold and 4,261,368 Ounces of silver, Is also lo- cated on the 1'ortiand. Oanal, approxi- mately 140 males, north of Prinee Rn - Pert. Each: of these mines has' de- veIcped hydro -electric power .for its operettas. In= the 'Yukon development of- the silver -lead Mines of the Mayo district] is proceeding satisfactorily,. Iu 1923 thedistrict, showed increased produc-1 tion, whine .-still greater results, are looked for, The Mayo dietriat 1s' in approximately the soma latitude as Dews on. In the northwest territories' radio broadcasting etattons are being estab- lished at rort,Simpson, on the Mac- kenzie River, and at Herschel ,Island, in the Arctic Ocean off the mouth of the Mackenzie. In Northern' Alberta arrangements. are beteg- made for shipping ont bitu- men sands from theenormousdeposits' in the vicinity of McMurray, which , point is new almost reached by rail- wiry. A company has been formed re- cently to develop the known Balt de- posits in the same area, a bed sof com- mercial rack 'salt"°14 feethi thickness having been' proved by drilling. rr At Paust, on Lessen Slave Jake, and ' on the Bdmenton, Dunvegan • and Bri' tish Columbia railWay,'a 'modern fish freezing plant le being constructed. with a capacity of 150,000 pounds. of • fish. During the flshing ?eas,oa pike and pickerel, which .reach the maxi arum of excellence in the gold north- ern waters, will =be -filleted and .pan - frozen. ni the autumn these 'will he shipped to the markets of eastern' nCnada and the United States, where exceptionally high prices' are secured. In Northern Manitoba, . 350 miles north of Winnipeg, a hydro -electric' plant is, being constructed on the Grass River, to supply "rower to the Bingo gold mine, at the head of Herb Lake, Thia mine is being developed by British capital, In Northern Ontario the railway has reached out to Tin Can Portage on the Abitibi River; and new mining areas are being opened up, The Kirkland Lake and Porcupine areas of Northern Ontario have made name wonderful production records. • One of Canada's largest water -power developments Is in course of construc- tion at the grand discharge of „Lake' St. John, -in Quebec, about 76' miles north 011ie city of Quebec. Isere the Quebec Development Company ia' constructing dams and power -Muses - to use the waters of the Saguenay River. , The ultimate' capacity of the plantis expected to be 420,001 horse- power. The dam' being erected 'will be 100 feet high and 7,700 feet long. In the northwestern portion of the province, in the Rouyn district, active pnospecting and exploratory work is being carried on, with the expectation that development of the mineral re- sources of that district will be eom- mercially feiasible. Railway exten- sion to the areas is proposed. In the Abitibi and Temisleaming districts colonization le being actively pro moted`by the pi+ovincleI government. On the northwestern coast of Nowa Scotia the coal fleld5'are reported': an about to be developed on an intensive soale. .A.coinpany.hss: recently been Incorporated for that purpose: • The northern limits of Canada are rapidly moving back, and agrldulture and industry are following closely .the new leve opments•..

Wilson, the discoverer of, calcium aarblde, should be Included. • Calcium carbide is produced by Nub. jetting a mixture of ordinary lime and coke to the intense beat of the electric arc. Some •ideaof what the intensity of this; ,Treat means may be obtained from the fact that the blast furnaces for the production of iron orthe bee. sealerconverter• in which iron le changed to steel reaches a tempera- ture of from 3,500 10 .4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, - whereas . arpproximately. 6,000 degrees of .heat -is required be- fore the formatien of carbide be- comes possible. The most general 'nee .for calcium. carbide is as an` illuminant. •When carbide is. brought into contact with water acetylene gas 15 -formed, and this gas. produces ,a light that is, very agreeable to the eyes.'

A- deapateh from, Chicago says:— Practically $1,000,000,000 has been added to the agricultural wealthof the United States and Canada as a result of the sensational advance in grain values in a little more than a month, At the same time,'many Mil- lions of dollars have been received by farmers in the Canadian Northwest, where wheat prices have jumped 42 cents a bushel as against nearly 30 cents a bushel in the United States.
