RUSSIA SENDS TRADE
DELEGATES TO CANADA,
Arcos Union of Co -Operative
Societies May Open ranch
in the Dominion.
k despatch from London says: -
The Russian trade delegation to Can-
-oda, which has been sanctioned by
'tie Foreign Office and the Canadian
Government, will proceed to the Do -
;minion at the end of two months.
Jenson, who is in Italy on a trade
'mission for the Soviet Government,
swill be at its head, and with him will
be Yessakoff, managing director of the
Volga river fleet.
Col. H. 3. Mackie, who has been
in Russia for many months as a sort
of unofficial representative of the
Canadian Government and commer-
cial interests, and is now in London,
say the personnel of the delegation
is above suspicion. It will comprise
eight members and will have head-
quarters in Montreal. It is probable
that the Arcos Union of Russian Co-
operative Societies, wallah- ries been
given a monopoly ofraill foreign pur-
chases by fradanSwalateeeofineiat--,A11
,-&,:acre-cetTa branch in Canada. Russia
can hope to sell little to the Dominion,
but expects to be able to place its
furs on the Montreal fur mart. It is
prepared to buy from Canada, Col.
Mackie says, practically every kind
of manufactures. Part payment could
ibe made for the purchases but credits
would have to be arranged for the
'remainder. The bond of the Soviet
Government would have to be accepted
as security, and Col. • Mackie states
• thalia the So'd'riete have, so far, met
eveitina obligation of this kind. • Sir
Donkld Mann, who was recently in
Russia and is now in London, will
probably sail immediately to Canada
• instead of returning to Russia. Col.
• Mackie will go back to Russia and
probably stay there some time an
business of his own.
Old Roman Walls
Discovered in London
A despatch from London says: -
Masonry thought th be of Roman
origin h.as been discovered in White
Friars Street during the demolition of
a glass factory. The factory dates
'back to 1670, when it was founded on
,the site of the Monastery of the White
Friars, who first came to London
about the time of Edward I.
The supposed Roman walls are
about 6 feet thick by 30 feet long, and
are close to two long subterranean
passages, the origin of which is not
• certain. Relies of later date were
also found, among them a number of
• clay pipes manufactured there about
1680.
Until recently the excavators, ig-
norant of the value of these pipes,
have been smoking and eventually dis-
• carding them.
Dominion Has Unprecedented
Wheat Crop This Season
A despatch hosed Ottawa saysaant
"There seems little doubt now that the
crop of 1923 erill run close th 500,-
000,000 bushel,s," said Hon T. A. Low,
Minister of Trade and Connteree, in
comndenting at length upon a trip .of
inspection through the Western prov-
'bees and as far as the Pacific coast
from which he has just returned to
Ottawa, Mr, Low spoke of a general
spirit of optimisni which he notieed in
Western cities, He said that it waa
felt that the turning had now been
made towards pre-war nrosperity, and
god harvests for another' couple of
years was all that was needed to com-
pletely put Western Canada back anon
its feet.
• The increased use of the Vancouver-
naina Canal touth for shipping
Western wheat was dne of the moat
eigtiifieant things he noticed en his
trip, said the Minister.

Bodies of Unknown Buried
Abbev May' be. Removed,
• espatch _Crom. London says :-If
Britain is to continue to bury 'Some
of her greatest sons in Westminster
Abbey it will be necessary to reanove
thence a number of those frequently
described as nonentities, or there must
be a chamber set apart for the over-
flow. Bonar Law's interment has once
more focussed attention upon its scant
space. Carlyle's phrase was that Bri-
tain must some day make up its mind
to "gaol delivery."
• Recently criticism, of the burial of
Sohn Broughton, pugilist, in the abbey
was revived. Charles II.'s pages of
the bedchamber were buried there,
and also the "Taster" to Queen Eliza-
beth, "the inventor of the chronomet-
er," the author of "The New Bath
Guide" and "Miss P. Beaufoy"-a
stranger to historians.
Boner Law was the first Prime Min-
ister of this century to rest in the ab-
bey. Of the twenty Prime Ministers
of the previous century only four had
this honor conferred upon them -Pitt,
Canning, Palmerston and Gladstone.
In the eighteenth century there was
only one -Chatham. In the past many
of England's Prime Ministers were
the members of old families and it
was generally the preference of their
relatives that they be buried on their
own estates.

Rush to File Leases
in Alberta Oil Area
A despatch from Edmonton says: -
It Was estimated that four thousand
acres in the Wainwright oil area had
been filed by leasehold seekers when
the Dominion Lands Depot anent
office cloeed late on Thursday after-
noon. The rush resulting from the re-
port of the strike of the British Pe-
troleums, Ltd., just annoinaced-b-Y the
company.
Throughounthe day land office offi-
cials attended to a- steady lineup of
citizens anxious to file on leases. On,
Wednesday shares in the British Pe -I
troleums, Ltd., were quoted at the par
value of $1, but with the report of
the strike, the shares were not to be
purchased at any price, though eager-
ly sought after.
The consensus of opinion of those in
eiose touch with the drilling opera-
tions is that the flow of 100 barrels1
a day has been considerably under-
estimated. From the commencementI,
the British Petroleum Company has
been' conservative in its information, I
and peesoas interested in the old field
look for a much greater production
from the well.
New Zealand Displaces
Canada as Dairy Exporter
A despatch from Loncian, says: -

an exporter of dairy produce. In a
speeelr at a meeting of Dalgety and
Co., Hon. Edmund, Park eid 8aid that
-Yaw--Zesaiand had ne've become the
• greatest dairy produce exporting
country in the world. While in Aus-
tralia the dry season had checked the
'production of dairy produce there was
I a substantial increase in New Zea-
land's output and her exports of but-
ter and cheese reached a value of
£18,000,000.
KillDeer Dazzled .

A despatch., from, -Brockville, Ont.,
says :-Dazzled 15y the headlights of
their motor car, a black weighing 185
pounds dressed, was stunned by a
stone hurled at its head by Simon
Richards, Carleton Place, on the road
between Fergus Falls and Lanark,
and finally despatched by him and his
companion, Vincent Stafford, with a
jack-knife, Richards intended start-
ing upon a hunting trip the following
day, but abandoned it.
A campaign was started recently to
raise $100,000 among the business in-
terests in Vancouver for the purpose
of advertising the city in the hope of
attracting a greater number of tour-
ists. So far the campaign has been
meeting with success, and it is anti-
cipated that the fund will be over-
subscribed.

It has been practically decided to
double the capacity of the plant of
the Fort William Paper Co. The pres-
ent capacity of the plant is 120 tons
of groandwood.pulp and 160 tons of
newsprint daily. • The enlargement
contemplated will involve an expendi-
ture of between,. $2,000,000 and $4,-
000,00 and will increase production
to about 400 tons of newsprint daily.
The plant, as it stands, represents an
investment of about $4,000,000 and
directly and indirectly gives employ-
ment to about 1,000 men.

URGES INTERNATIONAL
REPARATIONS PARI -EY
Gen., Smuts Would Go For-
ward With or Without the
Support of France.
A despatch from London says: -
General Smuts, Premier of South
:Africa, on the eve of his return home
from the Imperial Conference, urges
an international meeting, with or
without France, th settle the repara-
tions question. In, a letter to the
Times, he says:
"Our duty is clearly th go forward
even if France does not march with
us. France, on January 11 last, went
forward without us to seek repara-
tions in the Ruhr and shall we shrink
from going forward without her when
something far deeper, far more funda-
mental is at stake?
"As a limited inquiry is,. nova ap-
parently dead,the wider -.conference
acceptable th both Britain and the
United States should besa-everted 40.
That clearly is what the Imperial
Conference' contemplated. That prob-
ably is what the British Government
contemplated when they hinted at
separate action in their note of Aug-
ust 11." '
Even should France absent herself,
from this conference, General Smuts
hopes that the United States would
attend.
Inquiry in official circles elicited
the comment that the election situa-
tion here makes any such move front
England impossible until after the
new Government takes office about the
middle of December: It ia certain,
therefore, that whatever happens in
the international 'situation, short of a
tremendous catastrophe, Britain will
refrain from any action during the
next month. .
Motor Safety Device.
Broken front —axles on automobiles
have caused mat ya serious accident,
often with lose of life. To avoid such
disasters a Danish automobile maker
has invented and tried satisfactorily
a device to keep the car upright in
case a wheel conies off or if the front
axle breaks. • It consists of a pair of.
trailing shoes made of spring steel of
-varying widths for different , sizes of
cars. -
