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.

are taking place within what Was at

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

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-

rr At Paust, on Lessen Slave Jake, and

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

be 100 feet high and 7,700 feet long.
In the northwestern portion of the
province, in the Rouyn district, active

Service of the Department of the In-
terior at Ottawa says:—
Among the groat inventors and dig
ooverers of new processes that claim
Canada aa their birthplace that of
;Thomas L. 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

The most general 'nee .for calcium.

WHEAT MAKES QUICK
ADVANCE ON MARKET
Farmers, Bankers and All In'
terested Gaits by improve-,
anent in Business.
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.
This advance has made the farmers,
bankers, and all interested feel better,
and it is reflected in, an increase in
general business, with a cheerful tone
everywhere. A month ago speculative
trading on the Board' of Trade was
around 20,000,000'bushels a day, while
on Wednesday it readied the highest
since May 1, 1923, with an aggregate
of, more than 110,000,000 bushels of',
all grains, of which 69,000,000 bushels
were whdat for future delivery.
