Crandall, of the British United Press, 'acting for the American Publishers' Publishers' Committee on Cable and Radio Communications, for the erection of a Targe and powerful wireless ;station here, • Fredericton, N.B.-.The' grading of wool which has been collected here by the Provincial department of agricul- tura from throughout the province under the co-operative grading and marketing arrangements, is expected to she commenced early this month. Last season .22,000 pounds was the amount graded, while, it is expected that the total this year will be in excess of 30,000 pounds. Quebec, Que.-It has been . annou*c- ed at the. Forestry Department of :the Provincial Government that the ban. on sportsmen and others entering the forest domain has been lifted and that they were now at liberty1 o enter the woods. In making the announcement,. however, special emphasis was laid upon the necessity for the exercise of the greatest caution. Ford, Ont. -A factory for the low temperature distillation of coal, by which a ton of coal is expected to yield as high as ten gallons of motor fuel as a- by-product, is under con- struction at the Ford factory at Walk- erville, according to an announcement of : the President of the Ford Motor Cq. of Canada. The factory, which will cost in the neighborhood of, $500,- 000, will distil about 400 tons of coal a day. Should the experimental fac- tory prove successful other factories will be 'constiiii'ted by the Ford Co. Winnipeg, Man. -With. ample mois- ture and no excessive, heat, the crops throughout this Prairie Provinces are in exeellerit condition and are making. rapid progress. ; Vheat is in shot blade. Oats and barleyeeire <uniformly ,good" crops; grass is .abundgnt; andthe hay yield is' heavy. Regina; Sask.--A large number of wool shipments are being received from Saskatchewan' producers at the warehouse here• of the Canadian Co- operative Wool Growers, Limited, ac- cording cording to the General Manager, Mr. Thomson. In -addition, to the 26,000 shipped out there' ie , another 8,000 pounds on hand andfurther consign- ments are coaling in every day. Mr. Thomson has received 24 contracts for further. shipments, -making a total of over. 500 Saskatchewan contracts signed this season to date. Vermillion, Alta. --The, greatest wheat" crops on record are expected. The grain is well advanced and an early harvest is looked for. It is interesting to note that wheat froth this district, back in 1876, took first prize at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, but of course, at that period there was no export from that part of Canada, Vancouver, B:C.-With orders for 40,000,000 feet of lumber on the books at the first of the month; coast mills are assured of an active cutting sea- son for the next three months, The market has softened a little but mill- men do not anticipate any slump in quotations. Foreign business is offer- ing in good volume. f Natural Resources • Bulletin The Natural Resources Intekl- ligence Service of the Depart- ment of the Interior at' Ottawa says In Ontario. there are approxi- mately 850 saw mills, which are producing lumber. Fifty of these are in what is known as Northern Ontario, and they produce an average annual cut of 1,000,000 board feet each. There are also many portable mills cutting lumber and rail- way ties. One-third of the total lumber cut of the province comes from the northern por- tion, about 350,000,000 board feet annually. Forest fires have caused great destruction of timber in Northern Ontario, where some of the finest forest lands have been burned over. As the for- ests and mines in this portion of the province, provide a mare ket for the product of other parts of Canada to the extent of $75,000,000 per year,the im- portance of protecting the for- ests froth fire should .appeal strongly both to the employer and employees ,in the older por- tions of the province. - ti DR. RANTING CALLS • , AT BUCKINGHAM World's Shyest Genius Has Delightful Interview With His Majesty. A despatch from London says: -Dr. F. G. Banting, the Canadian discover- er of insulin, has been received by the. King. • Dr. Banting, who has earned by his abhorrence of publicity while in London the title of the world's shyest genius, had nerved himself for an ordeal, but the King's easy and con- versational• manner- immediately put him at his ease, and the interview be- came a mutual pleasure. The London newspapers comment upon Dr. Banting's marked shyness before the World Congress of Sur- geons, which he enlightened regarding insulin treatment. I " Dr. Voronoff, of rejuvenation fame, was also a speaker at the same gather- ing, and the Evening Standard states that while the latter was a "facile, fluent master of himself as compared with Dr. Banting's less command of words" yet of the two men Dr. Kant ing is immeasurablythe greater in, point of actual benefit conferred on suffering humanity. • Dr. Banting left London on a visit to Edinburgh, i pthalmologist Reports Pro. grecs in Grafting Eyes Large Increase in Number of Immigrants to Canada A despatch from Ottawa says: - Immigration returns of the Canadian Government for the first five months of the present year show a one hun- dred per cent. increase in immigration from: the British Isles over the figures for the same period last year. The immigration. from continental coun- tries in Europe •shows an increase of '71 per cent during the same period, while there is a decrease of ,83 per cent.,; in immigration from the United States. The figures for the first'flve months of the present year give cause for optimism at least and the hope that Canada has turned the corner es far as the slump in immigration is con- cerned. Ea genie Willed 100,000 Francs for Rheims Cathedral A despatch from Paris says: -The Empress Eugenie ;of'France, who died in July, 1920, left 100,000 francs by will to the French -government to aid in the reconstruction of Rheims Cathedral. The Minister of Public Instruction and Beaux Arts has, just been authorized to accept this "gift of -the: widow of Napoleon III. A despatch from Paris says: - Since the publication of an offer by an Italian newspaper man to give one of kis eyes in case it could be grafted to a painter who has lost his sight, there has been a renewed interest in the efforts to graft eyes. There have been numerous : sugges= tions . that soldiers who were blinded duering the world war might regain their sight through the sacrifice of some more fortunate comrade willing to give up one of his eyes. Dr. IP aliede, •noted opthalmologist and formerly collaborator of Dr. Car- rel, who has made a specialty of graft- ing operations, says: "The day is not far ..distant when it will be possible to graft either an animal or a human eye onto damaged optic nerves. Steady progress has been shade in this di- rection. "We have often tried grafting the eye of a young pig or rabbit, but the results have not been satisfactory. The _eye thus transplanted retains its lim- pidity, but within 'a fortnight disin- tegration begins." Sawmills to the number of 292, with a daily capacity of over 9,500,000 feet, were in operation in British Col- umbia in 1922. In addition there were 108 shingle, plants working with a daily capacity of 150500,000 shingles; only 8 mills are reported as shut down. There ,.were 2,652 , logging operations operating hi the province during 1922. ONTARIO'S NEW CABINET First group picture of Ontario's, new Cabinet taken at Government House, after they were sworn M.

PICKS UP MUCH OF LOST U. S. TRADE. European Countries Buy from Canada Rather Than from the Republic. A despatch from Ottawa says:-. Canada is deeply cutting into the Un. ited States food exports to the United Kingdom and a number of European countries. These exports from the Re- public have so fallen during the last year that the matter has been made the subject of a special inquiry with a view to ascertaining the reason. For example, it has been found that whereas hi 1921 agricultural products formed 78 per cent. of the American exports to the United Kingdom, in 1922 the proportion fell to 70 per cent, To Germany these exports formed 84 per cent. of the, total in 1921 and only 78 per cent. last year. In the case of the Netherlands the reduction was from 81 per cent. in 1921 to 78 per cent last year; Belgium, from 77 to 68 per cent.; Italy, from 82 to 79 per coni hgse reductions took place in, spite of the fact that the American exporters have had the amplest of credits. The American Government officials no doubt have had an impression that Canada has been getting much of the trade that the Republic has beet. los- , ing, and this view is strikingly con-, firmed by the Canadian eicport figures. ...13.11SIMICEMMISIMMLIM /:11:60011111.31 iEE ? 1 .P1PN'T KNOW YOU V1/4/ERE AN --'� ORP64/NN 11 See 5 eseeseee
