A despatch frolic
says:—Northwestern Ontario, from
Port Arthur to the Manitoba boun-
dary, is a hive of •activity. ;Old -tine
residents cannot recount a winter so
full of business. Tho soil is covered
with, snow knee-deep, but still .the op-
erations go on, the workers seeming
to enjoy the zestful tang of a typical
winter in the hinterland:
Along the railway lines, on both
sides, are immense piles of pulp and
cordwood; ood; the banks of streams are
the temporary resting -place of thou-
sands of ties. Men are busy trapping
in the bush or hunting for minerals.
Enginers :are mapping out a route for
an immense power line from Big Falls,
seven miles north of Atikolcan, to Fort
Frances, where the ultimate electric
energy will be used in mage pulp and
papor mills.
During the ,past three winter
months building after building has
been added to the structures in the
hinterland hamlets. '. Mine Centre, the
trackheadquarters of the British-
Canadian Mines Co., developing the
Foley gold property, is building up
rapidly. New stores are dotting the

ditions permit: Little station houses,
built in Port Arthur and placed our
flat ears, are being deposited on a site
to mark a new stopping place.
Atikolcan is• the seen° of activity.
IIere the Backus interests are erect-
ing track buildings in connection with
their power developmeet. At Big
Fails they have 150 men working.

CANADA EXPORTS SEED
GRAIN TO ARGENTINE,
Record Consignment of Fifty
Tons Loaded at New York.
t3, despatch from New York says:—
The largest shipment of Canadian
seed grain ever "shipped to tbe Argen-
tine was loaded here on the Vestvard,
of the Houston -L F. C. lines. Totalling
in all •approximately 50 tons, the ship-
ment was made up of 18,000 bushels
of pedigreed Marquis wheat and .15;
000 bushels of pedigreed Banner oats.
It was consigned, to the Bunge and
Born Corporation of Buenos Aires,
from the Moose Jaw branch of the
Carnelian Seed Growers' Association.
The loading of such a large consign-
ment of grain aroused' no little inter-
est and the event was marked- by -a
luncheongiven by the captain of the
carrying vessel. Frederick C. Hudd,
Canadian Trade Commissioner of New
York, attended, while Harry Lesser,
president, and_ Alfred Meale, vice-
president of the lines, were also
present.
Moving pictures of the loading
activities were taken for public dis-
tribution.
Sir Austen Wins French
With Smiles and Smokes
A. despatch from Paris .days:—Sir
Austell Chamberlain is ono of the most
popular. British foreign secretaries
that France has ever known. His close
friendship with Premier Briand seems
to delight the people•of this country
and the press never records the meet-
ings of the two statesmen without fre-
quem allusions to the welcoming
smiles in which they ane. wreathed.
Two factors tend to contribute to
this happy state of affairs. In the
first place Sir Austen speaks French,
and it is noted with enthusiasm that
his French is so improving that he
now picks the "mot juste" with all the
facilities of an old Parisian. And
secondly, Sir Austen, and this seems
very important, is able to smoke, cig-
arette for cigarette, -with the French.
Premier, who is a)most never seen
without a "gauloiso Maryland" droop-
ing from the corner of his mouth.

two counties may often depend.

MOTHER SAVED BABIES
BUT FATALLY BURNED
Port Arthur Woman Perished
and. One Child is Severely
Injured.
A despatch from Port Arthur, Ont.,
says:—Mrs. M. Hotchkoski received
fatal burns and her three-year-old
daughter is in a critical condition in
hospital her following a fire which
destroyed their home on Thursday.
Mrs. Hotchkoski died in hospital short-
ly before noon, retaining consciousness
until an hour or more before she ex-
pired.
Awakened from sleep by heat and
smoke, the mother seized her two chil-
dren and threw them out of a window
on a snow-covered verandah, where
they were picked up by neighbors. The
eldest child was severly burned, but.a
baby was unharmed.
Forced from the open window by a
rush of flames, Mrs. Hotchkoski fought
her way to the rear of her little home,
escaping through a doorway. The
soles of her feet were burned raw, and
her whole body was charred.
Australians Invite Canadians
to Parley.
The four Aiistil:Ilan' wheat pools
have extended an invitation to the
Canadian wheat pools to send a dele-
gation to Australia In August to eon -

J. M. McDonald, of Adelaide, South
Australia, who attended the recent In-

British Naval Estimates
for 1926 Are $281,785,000
A despatch from London says:—
The net total of the British navy esti-
mates for 1926 is £258,100,000 ($281,-
785,000), which is a reduction of 92,-
400,100 from that of 1925, notwith-
standing that theprovision f
starsof tis
w
construction is increased from 87,235,-
787 to £9;083,698. This announcement
was made to -day by W. C. Bridgeman,
First Lord of the Admiralty.
The estimates provide for cat rying
on the new construction program
which was preseritocl to Parliament
last July. It was otigina :y intended
. that the floating 'dock for Singapore,
which was, included in that-pr•op:ant,
should be provided' by the-rcconst.r•uc-

CREW OF SIX SAVED
FROM SINKING VESSEL
Liner Takes Off Skipper and
Men Afloat' Since Dec. 17
on Derelict Ship.
A. despatch from New York says:
TWO wireless messages from the Hol-
land -American liner Volendam were
put together to make the probable
story that the skipper and live men
of the schooner General Smuts bed
been rescued in mid-Atlantic after
spending several weeks on their dere-
lict vessel. In one respect, that of
dates, their informations received at
Halifax and New York did not jibe.
While the Halifax radio said that
the General Smuts had been abandon-
ed and set on fire in latitude 44.05
north, longitude 38.27 west, the New
York, message read:
"Notify Associated Press captain
rescued midnight. Skipper and five
men afloat since Deeembor'17 on sail -
less, sinking schoner on way Spain,
Newfoundland." Shipping records
showed that the British schooner left
Spain on December 18 bound for St.
John's, Nfld,
The Halifax message was received
by the Department` of Marine and
Fisheries. The New York radio was
sent by Ossian Lang, a ;passenger on
the 'Volendam, to Robert J. Ken-
worthy, grand secretary of the Mason
is Order.
Officials of the. Holland -American
Line said they had received no report
of the rescue from Captain de Konig,
of the Volendam. Attempts will be
made by wireless to reach the boat,
which is due to arrive at Plymouth,
England, on Monday.

The Central Selling Agency of the
Prairie wheat pools will snake its sec-
ond payment to contract holders this
week, it is officially learned here. The
payment will amount to 20 cents a

Sum of (',0,000 is Donated
to Aid Migration to Canada
A despatch from London says:—
Leybourne Davidson of Huntly, Aber-
deenshire, a pioneer in the rubber in-
dustry, and prominent in other indus-
tries also has offered to contribute
330,000 to . assist in the migration
movement from Great Britain to the,
Dominions. The details of the propos-
ed contribution are "unsettled es yet.
It appears that Leybourne Davidson's
gift, which has aroused widespread
interest, was the sequel to a speech
made by Sir Robert Horne, M.P., for-
mer Chancellor of the Exchequer, at
Elgin, Scotland, last November, when
he emphasized the advantage of send-
ing young men from Great Britain to
the Dominion.

noon, when a mail carrier returning

tioned at Hudson to carry out a regu-
lar schedule of flights.
It was indicated Thursday that the
development of the new field would be
hastened by the advent of air trans-
portation. Experts who have gone
into the field to investigate will be
enabled to return with their reports
in a fraction of the time required by
the dog teams. Supplies and baggage
will also be carried by the planes.

awaited delivery.
Mining Men Are Told
of Big Developments
A despatch from Montreal says
The impetus to the development of
Canada which had been given by the
discovery of minerals, the preponder-
ance of Canada as a nickel producer,
petroleum and gas developments in
Alberta, and the benefits of research
as an aid to the mining industry were
presented to the convention of the
Canadian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy here on Thursday.
The transformation into a populat-
ed country which had taken place in
hitherto unsettled portions of British
Columbia, through the discovery of
minerals in the last century, was now
being repeated in northern Manitoba,
Ontario and Quebec, Charles Camscll,
Deputy Minister of Mines, Ottawa,
said.
The annual pineapple crop of the
Hawaiian Isands is worth about $20,-
000,000.

R. F. Gagen
Secretary of the Ontario Society of
Artists, who dropped dead on March
2nd while looking over the work of
Canadian artists at the Toronto Art
Gallery,
1913, relinquished his diocese owing to
the ill -health of his wife, _and his
resignation becomes effective on
March 31. Mrs. Lucas's breakdown is
due to the trying life of the earlier
days in the frozen North,
Dr, Lucas, known to his brother ,
clerics as the "Bishop of the North
Pole, : has a diocese covering 600,000
square miles, with enly about 6,000
people, almost entirely Indians and
Esquimaux. On one of his visits to
.London he gave some interesting par- '
titulars of his great "parish,"
"The diocese includes the North
Pole," he gaud, "but I don't think an j
endeavor will be made to establish d•
mission thexe until we know aur way
about those regions better.'' The Ca- ,
titedral Church is at Pert Simpson,
and to catch a train we have to etart
six and a half' weeks in advance. The
nearest railway station is a thousand 1
milds away.
"The transformation worked in ouv
Esquimaux has been profound. Fon••
merly they used to be dirty, dishonest
and untrustworthy. Now, before at..
tending church every week, they insist -
on having a bath, no matter how low
the temperature may be. They will
melt snow in their huts to do it."
Eighteenth Child Born
in Family I11 With Smallpox
A despatch from Kitchener says:—
The stork defied smallpox placards
when it brought the eighteenth child
to Mrs. John K. Weber at her home
here, 25 Peter St., Wednesday night.
The mother is a victim of smallpox, but
the child, a boy, was born in a healthy
condition. Seventeen of Mrs. Weber's
children are living. Nine of the chil-
dren who are quarantined in the,house
have smallpox.

Westminster Abbey
Undergoing Cleanup
to Continue 20 Years
A despatch from London says: --
Westminster Abbey's interior is under-
'going a general scouring with vacuum .
cleaners and electrical scrubbers, and '.
marvellous decorations in gold and
beautiful bright colors are being un-
covered on walls and pillars which had
greyed under the smoke and dust of
centuries.
Every foot of the wail and ceiling in
the great cathedral is to be restored
as nearly as possible ,to its original
state. Wall paintings dating back to
1300 have already been uncovered,
and pillars which were supposed to be
ordinary stone blackened by grime
prove to be fine red and white marble.
Even the dull decorations on many of
the tombs are lovely mosaic when they
emerge from the hands of the cleaners.
Much of the art work has been
effectively concealed because of a var-
nish, believed to have been applied
under the instructions of Sir Chris-
topher Wren, which was supposed to •
preserve the colors. This varnish prob-
ably did preserve the colors, but it
held the dust and smoke and coated
the art objects so heavily with grime
that modern visitors have had little
conception of the brilliant achieve-
ments of medieval worlanen.
It will probably take twenty years
to complete the restoration, whieh is
going on under the direction of E. W.
Tristram of the Royal College of Art.

Maple sugar tine will soon be here—that time that is looked forward to
by all who own a sugar bush as the
first sign of spring. The cold nights
give place to the sunny days, the sap
hi the maple commences to run, and
the sugar -making equipment is again •
put into service.
Tho making of maple sugar and
syrup is almost exclusively a Can-
adian industry, although the New
England States make some. But Can-
ada, being known as the "Land of. the
Maple" can claim the maple industry
as its own. Are we making the moat
of this industry, however? Are we pro-
ducing maple sugar that carries an
appeal from the standpoint of qual-
ity? Unfortunately we cannot give a
favorable answer. There appears to
be no uniformity in quality or color,
the latter varying from a clear yellow
to almost a black, while some of the
sugar is so hard as to be alnnost un-
breakable. In marketing the sugar
little attention is given to appearance
and often the condition in which it is
placed on sale is far from appetizing.
Canadian maple sugar makers are
missing a splendid opportunity in not
catering more carefully to the taste
of the consumer in regard to the con-
dition in which it 1, sold. Ganacnens
