Geological Structure of. Rouyn Township Resembles That

A despatch from Rouyn Lake, Que.,
says :-Careful examination of lead-
ing discoveries in Rouyn township con-
firms the intermittent reports from
time to time during the past winter.
Surface outcroppings do not contain
spectacular showings of native gold.
This absence of the glitter of gold
may account for the quiet that has
marked progress in the field. 1;]'ever-
theless, in this very quiet there lies
a depth of seriousness that should
augur well for the future of Rouyn.

sheets that modern • miners look, and trict.

ALBERTAWHEAT' CROP
DOUBLE 1922 YIELD
Rain Has Afforded hnmense
Benefit to Farms and Forests.
A despatch from Calgary says: -
Grain men and others in Calgary are
already forecasting the probable yield
of wheat in Alberta- this year,
and, those who are prepared to
' hazard a guess state that given.
ordinary favorable conditions be-
tween now and harvest time
the threshing machines will regis-
ter something in the neighborhood of
100,000,000 bushels. This estimate is
based on the 65,000,090 bushels crop of
last year (Alberta Government esti-
" mate) and on approximately the same
acreage seeded. As a matter of fact,
there are some grain men who say
that the estimate is somewhat con-
servative, and that the acreage in
some localities this year shows a con-
siderable increase compared to last
year, particularly so in the northern
portion of the province, where wheat
Is rapidly outrivalling oats and other
coarse grains.
While the recent rains, which
amounted to about seven inches and
• which are believed -to be the heaviest
on •record in Alberta for an equal
length of time, are regarded as being
worth anywhere up to $25,000,000 to
the province, the benefit to the forests
may also be fairly regarded as am-
ounting to millions.
By the way, another saving to Can-
ada following the rains is being ac
,complished at the Federal aerodrome
at High River, Alberta, for with the
forests saturated it is not necessary
to send out the daily airplane patrols
which cover a stretch ranging from
the Clearwater River west to Red
Deer, approximately .to the interna-
tional boundary below the Crow's
Nest Pass. The machines will,' only
be sent out when conditions warrant.

A despatch from Toronto says: -
Two women were killed outright, tw

IMPERIAL PARLEY
Far East Likely to be Most Im-

Conference.
A despatch from London says:--

Japanese aspirations in the Far East

ant question for the forthcoming Im-

15,434 Head of Cattle Sent
Since Removal of Embargo
A despatch from Ottawa says: -
Since the British embargo was re-
moved (and up to May 31), 10,190
store cattle and 5,244 butcher
cattle have been exported to
Great . Britain, says a report of the
Department of Agriculture. Of that
number approximately 11,500. were
billed from Ontario and 3,900 from the
Western Provinces: Prices on good
quality"steers have been stimulated
from 50 cents to $2 per hundred as a
esult of the improved demand for
ood stock. Practically all the stock
was either hornless or dehorned, and
eating the requirements of a high
lass of trade, sold at strong prices.
A despatch from Dawson City, Y.T.,
says: -A heat wave struck the Yukon
Territory Thursday, when the temp-
erature was 91 in the shade and 120

one exception, registered here in the
past 23 years, since the Dominion
Weather Bureau was established. here.l

St. Lawrence Reported Clear
of Ice After Long Season
A despatch from Prescott says:
According to official reports received
on Thursday the Gulf of St: Lawrence,
is now clear of ice, after a'season of
unprecedented ice conditions. The ice-
breaker Milkuia has been battling for
weeks to clear the way for incoming,
vessels.
1921. Two months ago Canada's in-
dependent signature of the Halibut
Fisheries Treaty was agitating all the
constitutionalists, and the prediction
was made that it would prove the
most contentious subject for the Sep-
tember discussions. It has since
receded into the background, as such
enlargements in the practice of Do-
minion autonomy have a way of do-
ing, and promises to be superseded in
importance by the less academic issue
of the Empire's relations toward its
neighbors.
The decision of the Admiralty to
transform Singapore Harbor into a
great naval base is concentrating at-
tention on the Pacific, which means on
Japan. China's relapse into anarchy
and the reoccupation of Vladivostock
by the Bolshevik Government are
I minor questions. Mr. Meighen's voice
in the 1921 conference was raised in
favor of the abrogation of the Anglo-
Japanese treaty. Canada in this mat-
ter furthered the cause of Anglo-
American unity. Her own relations
with Japan since the emigration ques-
tion was satisfactorily adjusted have
been happy, and though she is a Pa-
cific power, elements of future discord
with the Empire of the rising sun are
not intrinsic in her position. Aus-
tralia's feeling towards Japan con-
fiicts more acutely with the view of
the Mother Country in proportion
that her empty acres are nearer an
armed yellow race seeking expansion.
The fortification of Singapore is in a
sense a concession to her apprehen-
sions. Singapore is a naval topic.
Sir Wm. Robinson raises the mili-
tary question by his proposal that the
Committee of Imperial Defence should
become a permanent Council of Im-
perial Defence upon which the Domin-
ions should 'be represented.

A TO E MEETING PLACE OF
SECOND EMPIRE FORESTRY CONFERENCE,
In the forefront of prominent men
in attendance at the Empire Forestry
Conference to be held in Canada this!
summer will be Major-General Lord
Lovat, K.T., K.C.M:G., D.S,Q, Lord'
Lovat is chairman of the Imperial;
Forestry Commission, which is carry-;
ing out a gigantic program of re-'
forestation in the British Isles. The;
forests of England and Scotland were;
subjected to serious depletion to sup -I
ply war demands, and the work of
the Commission is to restore as rapid-
ly as possible the forested areas in
the United Kingdom.
During the war Lord Lovat was in
charge of all British forestry opera-:
tions, and associates with him were
many men, including Canadians, prom-
inent in the lumber and pulp manu-
facturing world. He has many friends'
in Canada, and it is anticipated that
his coining will warm the hearts of
many a member of the elan Fraser,
of which Lord Lovat, as Simon Fraser,
is Chieftain. Not only is he a man
of great energy, broad vision and out-
standing ability, but he is possessed of
a most charming personality. The
several Canadians who were delegates
to the Empire Forestry Conference
held in London in 1920 speak highly
of his ability as the leader of that
Conference.
OUTLINE OF PROGRAM.
these the Conference will visit lumber-.'
I ing centres and forest areas in On-'
tarso and Western Canada. Many of
the delegates will see for the first time.
forest industries . on a scale entirely
new to them. The huge pulp con-
cerns in eastern Canada and the gi-
gantic sawmills of the Pacific Coast
will undoubtedly occasion much in-
terest.
AIM OF THE CONr`ERENCEI.
It is the aim of the Conference to
find the ways and means of making
the Empire self-sustaining in its tim-
ber supply. This involves careful
stock -taking of forest resources, the
pooling of information in regard
thereto, and the establishment of facil-
ities for increasing Empire trade gen-
erally in forest products. In many,
cases possibilities have been neglected
purely through the lack of information
that has prevailed regarding supplies
and facilities.
A most important feature of the
Conference is the placing plainly be-
fore the people of the actual condition
of Empire forestry affairs. In some
parts of the Empire forest manage-'
ment is on the basis of sustained yield,
while in others cutting is carried on
greatly in excess of annual growth, so
that the woods' capital is being seri-
ously impaired. Many other related
subjects will also re•eive attention. z
Canada is honored by being selected
as the meeting place of this, the sec-
ond Empire Forestry Conference. No
effort is being spared to justify this,
selection, and it may be anticipated
that the numerous delegates will re-,
turn to their respective countries with
a clearer conception than they have
previously had of Canadian conditions,
the advantages of Canada as a source
of raw forest products, and of the
state of her development in the Manu.`
facture of wood material into many
different forms.
Preparations for the Conference are
now so far advanced that certain im-
portant particulars can be given in
regard to the program. The Confer-
ence will open during the last week of
July, foresters from all parts of the
Empire taking part. Almost immedi-
ately after the formal opening a tour
will be made in the eastern provinces
to observe forest conditions and to in-
spect forest industries. Following the
eastern trip the meetings at Ottawa
will take place. At the conclusion of
