Quebec, Que.-Attracted by the
pod wages paid in lumber camps near
Ville Marie, Haileybury and Kippawa,
imir five hundred young farmers, residing
mostly in Champlain county) will
leave here shortly for those Quebec -
Ontario border points. This is a rec-
ord number of men leaving here at
one time for lumber camps. The ma-
jority are taking their own horses.
The young men will return to their'
farms in the spring.

IMPERIAL PARLEY
BENEFITS TO CANADA
Achievements of Delegates of
Empire Units in London
Reviewed.
A despatch from London says
Another Imperial Conference has
passed into history. The Economic
Conference meets again on Friday for
the consideration of wireless com-
municalions, but its proceedings will
probably be brief. For all practical
purposes both conferences have con-
cluded their labors. It has been six
weeks of constant consultation, com-
mittees, conferences and speeches.
What has been the result? Not until
Sunday will the official text of the
resolutions be issued, but it may be
forecast that they will not indicate
any organic change in sonstitutional
relations; in fact no constitutional
proposals of a sweeping nature ap-
pear to have been brought forward
at all.
In matters of foreign policy there
is no change in the existing machinery.
As seen from the Canadian point of
view the results of the Conference are
summed up by a member of the Can-
adian delegation as follows:
1. A much clearer understanding of
the Canadian position as to Imperial
relations.
2. Recognition of equality and inde-
pendent initiative in matters peculiar
to one part of the Empire coupled
with willingness to co-operate in mat-
ters of common concern..
3. The clearing up of the present
position of the Dominions in respect
to making treaties with the unani-
mous understanding reached along the
lines adopted by the Canadian Govern-
ments from the treaty of Versailles
to the Halibut Treaty.
4. Recognition by the Admiralty for
the first time of the principles of Do-
minion navies.
5. Emphasis on the responsibility
of each part of the Empire for its own
defence.
6. Recognition that it is for the
Parliament and people of. each part of
the Empire to decide on the measure
of its own defence preparations.
These concern the main conference.
In the Economic Conference the chief
gains to Canada lie in increased pref-
erence, in the probability that as a re-
sult of the Conference discussions
Canadian ships trading to Great Bri-
tain will be freed from British taxa-
tion on profits made here, and further
in the probable _concessions by the
British Government in the administra-
tion of regulations under which Can-
adian cattle are admitted,

A despatch from Munich says:- the establishment of a national Reich
The Bavarian Government has been
declared overthrown by Adolph Hit-

General Ludendorff, as Commander -
Dr. von Kahr, the Military Dicta-

Hitler announced that the Govern-

flag organizations concentrated on the
Burgerbrau and occupied different
quarters of the city, chiefly the
squares.
Conferences are being held within
the Burgerbrau, and it is reported
that Dr. von Kahr is attempting to
negotiate a settlement with Hitler.
The attitude of the police and the
Reichswehr has not yet been disclosed.
Those who gathered in the Burger-
brau, which is a famous Bavarian
beer cellar, were members of Nation-

Dr. von Kahr read a manifesto to the
German nation denouncing the prin-
ciples of Marxisrn. The reading of
the manifesto was greeted with ap-

Handbook of Saskatchewan.
A revised edition of the Handbook
of, Saskatchewan has been issued by
the Natural Resources Intelligence
Service of the Department of the In-
terior, and copies may be obtained
free on application to the Superin-
tendent.
The more intensive: immigration
movement that is now taking place is
creating a demand for authentic in-
formation on Canada's particular
provinces, and in the above handbook
care has been taken that nothing of a
flambuoyant or too enthusiastic a na-
ture be included. The report goes
carefully into the natural resources
of the province and their present state
of development, the agricultural con-
ditions and statistics of production,
climate, government, transpoi tation
and communications, educational facil-
ities, and, what is of especial value to
the newcomer, a conCise description of
the survey system under which the
Prairie Provinces are being laid out.
Urban and rural opportunities are
also given attention. The volume is
'suitably illustrated and contains a
number of maps and charts of the
province and its resources. The hand-
book is one which would be very suit-
able for intending setlers and it is
suggested that residents of the west-
ern provinces .who are interested in
having friends settle in Canada send
the names of the prospective settlers
