Minister of Interior. Issues Annual
Statement on, Progress of Power
Development
With world interest centered upon
the efforts bent{; put forth in almost
every civiliacd country'to secure addi-
tional suppliesfof tow -priced power
for the needs of industry, the annual
review of hydra -electric progress in
Canada by tie Ftonenteable Charles
Stewart, Minister of the Interior, is
of timely significance, indicating as it
does, that throttlhout the Dominion
the greatest activity prevails in har-
nessing for industrial, comrnenc.ial .and
domestic use the advantageously sit-
uated and ample water -power resour-e
ces of the coiintry;
During the yeatr 1928 the energy of
the water -wheels Or turbines actually
installed and brought into operation
arhounted to 550;000 horse -power,
thus bringing the total for the whole
Dominion to 5,328,000 horse -power.
In addition to this large increase there
are many projects under active con-
struction, some of them nearing coma
pletion and others just recently ini-
tiated, whose combined installations
will resuit in adding more than 1,200,
(100

are also many projects of magnitude
in tire, formative '.stage some of which
Will undoubtedly be :undertaken in they
near future.
Vltat this great activity means 10
the prosperity of the country may be
gauged from the huge sums of mon-
g to
ey. which must be' 'emended to bring
these projects into being and to ap-
tly the power to its 'ultimate uses,
for the actual de'- elopment,' trans-
mission, and distribution: of the pow-
er capecty installed in 1928; together
with that now under active construc-
tion, it is estimated that not less than
$330,000,000 will be required; while
for every dollar expended in power
development competent authorities
have estimated that six dollars are
required in its application. 1t is nec-
essa.ry, therefore, to visualize the ef-
fects throughout the country of the
expenditure of au amount reaching,
probably, $2;300,000,000.
With regard to the activities, of
1928 although the works of greatest
nlagnitucie were in the province of
Quebec as has been the case for the
past few years, probably the most in-
teresting feature is that practically
every -province is represented in the
year's program. From west to east
the major projects were:—
British Columbia. -=The West Koot-
enay Power and Light Company prac-
tically completed its '75,000 h.p. plant

gh its subsidiaries, brought into op-
eration, the 12,500 lip. Alouette de-
velopment and advanced the construc-
tion of the 300,000 h.p. Bridge River

ZUZULAND FAIR
Tribes Show Eight Hnn lred Exhibits

of to 'Work.
A half century ago the
Zulus
spent,ent
their time fighting white settlers and
neighboring tribesmen, but the recent
Zululand fair, bold at Eshowe, indi-
eater that needlework, carp eat tv,
carving, clay modelling, basketwork
and agriculture are utilizing a part.
of the time on.ee given to slaughter
ing "foreigners,"
There were nearly 800 exhibitors,
most of whom wex•e from mission sta-
tions, where they learned that whole-
sale murder is less profitable than
modern industry,
In Zululand, which is about as
large as New Jersey, with a native
population twice that of 'Trenton, the
National Geographical Society re-
ports, there are yet thousands of
Zulus who live much the same as
their fighting ancestors. The family
kraals, consisting of cattle pens sur-
rounded by thatched huts, still dot
the forests of Zululand, and the old
ribal chiefs continue to rule with an
iron hand.
Before the coming of the white
man the Zulu roamed at will over.
South Africa, but most of thein now
inhabit the semi -tropical reserve in.
the northeastern par;, of Natal pro
vince, which the British setaside for
their use.
For instance, the Lulu boy still
pays "lobola" for a wife. When he
has found an affinity he tells the
prospective father-in-law about it.
The father-in-law sets the amount r,f
the "lobola" necessary for the hand
of his daughter, and if the love --smit-
ten youth can deliver the "order he is
a married man. ••'Lobola" consists
of a gift of from ten i8o tvrrrty cattle
to the father-in-law as a guaranty of
good faith and evidence that the hus-
band is able to provide.
After marriage the woman goes to
work. The man milk', a few cows,
hunt occasionally and loafs most of
the time. AIS wife ,tug's the garden,
reaps the harvest, provides for the
family and attends to all domestic
duties in the kraal. If any one must
hire out, the tribesman must get to
work. In the villages they are em-
ployed as cooks,' housemen, washer -
men and messengers.
Often a tribesman has more than
one wife, hut each of them is accord-
ed the same consicl.'ratinn and treat-
ment fr'o'th the husband. Odd, hut
true, they also live in harmony and
show great affection toward one an-
other. A. trrh 1'nian with forty wives
might frequently be seen covering his
face as he passes down a village
street. He roust not look a mother-
in-law in the face, but avoid her as
graciously as possible. The wide
tribesman perltaps does not confine
his pursuit of wives to one village.
