A despatch from Melbourne, Au- stralia., says: _ The coming season's wheat crop in Victoria is estimated at 6,000,000 bushels. The figure is much above the previous record. The prospects for a large export of apples are good. Victoria's state coal mine, produced 1,500,000 tons of coal during the past year, and has proved a profitable venture. T110 coal is used by the state rail- ways. The Reads Board is starting works which will absorb the whole of the available supply of labor in Victoria. TRADE SHOWS INCREASE.

Woet1 Controls .the LIfe of 7,00MY People in Canada. One of the most popular men in Southern Alberta is Edwin J. Wood, president of the Mormon Church in Canada, While Mr: Wood is greatly attached to his church, he is nevertheless broad. enough to believe in tolerance to all denominations holding religious worship in the oonflnes of the+ large stretch of country w'htceh tb'e Mor- mon people have taken over to themselves. It is now 26 years since Mormon settlements of Southern Alberta be- gan. - In that year Charles Ora' Card, after whom Oardoton, the Temple City of Alberta, ;came with a dozen Mormons and settled along the St. Mary's River in Southern Alberta. This was the nucleus of the 7,000 Mormons to be found in Canada to -day. President Wood has entire con- trol of this Mormon population in- sofar as their relation to the church is concerned, and relation to the Mormon Church means busi- ness, social and religious affiliation. Everything the Mormon does is con- trolled by the churcee. His business President E. J. Wood. is better known by the president than by his banker. Hie, goods are the church's if the church wishes use them. Over matters of this :kind Mr. Wood has direct jurisdic- tion When the church undertook to purchase the old Cochrane ranch in Southern Alberta, it was Mr. Wood who did the business for his organ- ization. Some 65,000 acres were in- volved it the. deal, and the Cana- dian president has had the selling of this tract in small' parcels to Mormon people from Utah and other Mormon colonies. Edwin 3. Wood is also the stock- man of the church. When the large tract of land wars purchased a num- ber of cattle went with it. The herd. has now increased to several thou- sand, and these this man has under control. He sells to whom he ploases. No ease in Canada asks where the honey goes. No good Mormon dare doubt She integrity of. President Wooci. The responsibility of finding m.a terial for a $300,000. temple re' now engaging the attention of Mr, Wood. The new _structure is to be at Gardston in Southern Alberta, and it will be the first on British soil. Marble must be secured, ar- rangements made for hauling' me- tered, workmen employed, and a thousand other things to engage his attention. ' A Mormon president does not re- ceive any salary. President Wood is supposedeto do all this gratis. He' is a man of considerable wealth,;: amassed probably before his ap- pointment to the presidency, and can afford to give the time. It has been said that his wives number more than one. This has been disproved on severer ' occa- cions, Mr. Wood, however, he- lieves in the principle of polygamy, although he advises his people to refrain 1ron1 the practice because of the law of the land forbids it.

CANADA HAS LOTS OF MONEY. Cavernntollt Has $98,500,000 Stored Away In the Vaults. A despatch from Ottawa says: A book of gilded figures has mado its annual appearance as the "Public Accounts" report. The book tells bow many dollars there wore in the Dominion treasury at the close of the fiscal year. It tells how many dollars were made in the mint, how much Finance Minister White bor- rowed, and how much was spent. Among other interesting items in the book is the issue of Dominion notes. The total issue for the year was $39,749,000, which is seven millions less than the year before. A good deal of cleaning up was done, over thirty-three millions be- ing retired and destroyed, or more than twiee as nnich as the year pre- vious. The largest bill printed for gen- eral circulation is $1,000. The de- mand for them was much reduced, two million dollars worth having been issued in 1912 and only a mil- lion dollars last year. The coin factory had a busy year, stamping King George on silver and bronze to the -value of about a. million and a half dollars. Gold eoin was made to about the same amount. In spite of shard times there is a good deal of money .around Can- ada, even if not iiiueh' of it is loose. At the dose of the + e 4 bills out to the value of over a:•'ltun- dred and twelve million dollars. In gold the Government had lock- ed up ninety-eight and a half. mil- lions. It is of some interest to ob- serve that of this 93 millions are 1n Canadian coin,. and only a• little over fourand a, half luillions in British. Though Canada kept American gold, it sent back American silver to the face value of six millions and spent 48 thousand dollars to do it. ,1W ELEPHANTS USEFUL, IN ASIA, Children Are Taken Care of by Them -Children In Trunks. In India it is not an uncommon thing for the childreu of a mahout -the keeper of one. or more elephants -to be cared for by his animals. Instances are not wanting of a mother's sys- tematic placing of her baby in an ele- phant's care and within reach of its trunk while the mother herself goes to fetch water or to get wood or mater- ials to pook the fancily meal. It is pointed out that no jackal or wolf would be likely to pick up and carry off a baby which was thus con. fided to the care of an elephant. Most people who have lived in the jungle know How very possible it is for an animal of the first class to carry off,a baby when it is lying in a lett or when the mother is unprovided with means to fight off the marauder. ' Children brought up in the compan. ionship of an elephant become ridicu- lously familiar with the big pachyderm and take all manner of liberties with him, liberties whish the elephant seems to endure on the principle that they do not annoy him while they amuse the child. One may see, it is averred, a little native child, quite naked, about two feet high,. standing on an elephant's baro back and taking it down to the water to bathe, vociferating all the while in most unbecoming terms of native abuse. On arriving at the water, the ele- pliant ostensibly in obedience to the child's coniInsnd, lies. down .and joys himself, leaving just a portion of his body, like a shall island, above the water, tlpon this part of the elephant the child will stand and shout. yelling all the more if he has several com- panions of his own age also in charge 'of elephants, all wallowing in the water aroaud him, If the child should ip oft Itis island the. elephant', trunk umodiat.ely replaceshim in safety.
