STORAGE ELEVATORS
AT BRITISH PORTS
Facilities for Moving Cana-
dian Wheat Planned by
Labor Government.
A despatch from London says:—
Provision of storage elevators at Brit-
ish ports to afford facilities for he
movement of Canadian wheat in Brit-
ish bottoms from Vancouver is a plan
understood to be engaging the atten-
tion of the Labor Government as an
alternative to the Imperial Preference.
So much interest has been taken by
Labor members in the scheme that
Hon. Geo. Hoadley, Minister of Agri-
culture for Alberta, was asked to talk
it over with Labor members interested
in Empire affairs. Liberal members
have also expressed approval of the
scheme.
The plan would in all probability
ultimately resolve itself into a co-
operation agreement between the Al-
berta wheat pool and interests on this
side, whether Governmental or pri-
vate, which would construct stowage
elevators. It is urged in its favor
that a large part of the grain shipped
via eastern ports poses over Amer-
ican railways, is loaded at American
ports and financed by American
money.

SMUGGLING AT BORDER
Canada and United States
Sign Treaty Regarding
Liquor and Narcotics..
A despatch from Washington
says:—Secretary Hughes and Ernest
Lapointe, Canadian Minister` of Jus-
tice, signed at the State Department
on Friday a treaty between the United
States and Canada -for the suppres-
sion of liquor and narcotic smuggling
across the international boundary

The convention is a result of the
conference in Ottawa between Can-
adian officials and officials of the
State and Treasury Departments, the
Americans going to Canada to work
out some means of co-operating to
check rum -running across the border.
It will become effective •ten days after
exchange of ratificatioes .and will re-
main effective for one year, after
which it may be terminated on thirty
days' notice.
The State Department described
the pact in part as follows:
Prof. ,Weinberg perfected proved to
cure most gangrene cases • arising
front appendicitis, :and also most peri-
tonitis cases from the same cause
when used in time. Thirteen oe fife.
teen cases were saved.
Meanwhile Dr. Jablons, 'working lit
America, perfected a "buffered citrate
cure" for dry gangrene, or Raymond's
disease. A meeting of the Pasteur
Institute will announce the formula
of the solution this week and a com-
plete list'of its cures.
Dr..Jablons is now investigating

The reports also refer to the facts
that the heads of the rivers are still
covered with ice, which is a rather
unusual occurrence.
At the :Forest Protection Branch
elation is expressed over those reports,
as well as others coming from other
sections of the province, which mean
that the dangerous period is still far

Forty out, bf :tile 140, subway sta-

situation is the result of the strike
of sixty per cent. of the emeloyes ;of

it is a purely unofficial strike, not.
authorized or recognized by the onion

Thursday declaring the strike was fo-
mented by "an unofficial committee
cc•tminated by Comrnuuist inl'-uences."
The men struck in sympathy with
another unofficial strike of more than
1,000 shopmen of the Great Western
Railway, who are demanding an in-
crease of ten sh'llings a week, a mini -
muni wage of three pounds a week, a

to return to their depots ani prepare

Natural Resources Bulletin.
The Natural Resources Intelligence
Service of the Department of the In-
terior et Ottawa says:
The industrial structure 07 Canada
rests in uncommon degree upon the
utilization of water -power, and the
extension of the, water -power industry
has been notable with regard ,to both
the rate of development and the di-
versity. of the field which it serves.
The actual extent of Canada's water -
powers has been by no means fully
ascertained, but they are known to be
abundant and well distributed
throughout the Dominion, which, with
their tributaries, form important
zones for settlement and industrial
txpansien.
Foremost amongst the' outstanding
power rivers in Canada is the St.
Lawrence, not only because of its
enormous discharge, but also due to
the almost complete natural storage
of the Great I.alees which feed it. This
great river is capable of furnishing
over 3,500,000 horse -power, of which
less than 1,500,000 horse -power is in
the international reach and would
have to be apportioned between Can-
ada and the United States.
Among the many large rivers flow-
ing into the St. Lawrence from the
northern Laurentian plateau is the
Ottawa, for most of its length lying
between Quebec and Ontario. On the
Ottawa river development has been
confined to less than 100,000 horse-
power in the vicinity of Ottawa city,
leaving still unutilized 21 sites, aggre-
gating 678,000 horse -power, on a basis
of ordinary minimum flow, and prob-
ably twice that amount with adequate
storage. It is from the headwater
tributaries 01 the - Ottawa that the
silver' mines of Northern Ontario draw
their main supplies of electrical and
compressed air energy. Many other
rivers from the north enter the St.
Lawrence river and gulf and, while
surveys have not been, initiated on all,
a number of sites are known to offer
large power possibilities.
