Natural , Resources Bulletin The Natural Resources Intel- ligence Service of the Depart- ment of the Interior at:Ottawa says: In Ontario there are appr'oxi mately 850 sawmills, which are producing lumber. Fifeke 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 a{so 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' abouts` 360,000,000 board feet annually., Forest fires have caused''- great destruction oftimber, in Northern Ontario, where some of the efinest forest' lands have been, burned 'over. • As:the for- pests and minesin this' portion of the province provide a mar ret 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 from fire, should appeal% strongly both to the : employer, and employees in the older,por' lions ' of the ;province. • Leta Sir John Hcndrie Former Lieut: Governor of'' Ontario, who passed 'away In Johns Hopkin IIospital, Baltimore; on July 18th.

AIRMAN FAILS IN RACE WITH SUN Effort to ' Span• Continent Between Dusk and Dawn Foiled by Accident. A despatch: from Rock Springs says: -Failure -marked ,the second at- tempt within ten days of Lieut. Rus- sell L. Maughan, army airman, to span :the North American continent between dawn and dusk on Thursday when .an oil leak forced him to 'land' here at 5:08 p.m. mountain time. He had traversed more than two-thirds of the United States, a total of 1,925 miles,' and he 'was hurtling toward his goal at,a speed of 170 miles an hour, lifter leaving three of 'his five sche- duled stopping ` places behind him in his race with the sun when hewas; eoreed to descend. A tiny stream of oil' spurting from an almost invisible aperture in the oil cooler of the Curtispursuit plane, necessitated the concellation of ,the. flight: A similar leak had caused nearly, an. hour's delay at ` Cheyenne, Wyo., his third stopping place, shortly after noon on Thursday, and Maughan was driv- ing :his: motor at top speed to regain lost time. For more than 200 miles westward from Cheyenne, the motor raced'sinoothly, but at Rock Springs the cooler suddenly- began. to 'e leak. Maughan passed over:; the air -mail field at 4.58 p.m., determined to 'con- tinue to Salduro, Utah, the next stop- ping place. As the fumes from' the escaping oil became stronger,' however, he turned backand landed. A brief examination by two pilots convinced Maughan that it would be impossible -to reach San Francisco, the western terminus of his flight, before dark. Bitterly disappointed at the failure of his second attempt to cross the con- 'tinent,; when success seemed almost assured, Maughanmade: a' cursory ex- amination of theoil cooler and went to a Rock Springs hotel for the night. Maughan's average speed from New York to Cheyenne, without deducting time for stops, was '135-6 miles an hour. ,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 during the same period, while there is a decrease of 33 per cent. in immigration from the United States. The figures for the uirst five months of the present .year give cause for optnnism at least and the hope that. Canada has turned the corner as far as the slump in immigration is con- cerned.

PICKS UP MUCH OF LOST U. S. TRADE. European Countries. Buy from p '�Y _.Canada` Rather Than from the Republic. A' despatch '^from. Ottawa says:- Canada ays:-Canada is deeply cutting into the Un- ited States n-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 in 1921 agricultural products formed 78 per ,cent. of the American exports to 'the United Kingdom, in .19.22 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 cent. These 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 been los- ing, and this view is strikingly con- firmed by the. Canadian export figures. Opthalmologist Reports Pro- gress in Grafting Eyes A despatch from Paris says: - Since the publication of an offer by an Italian newspaper man to give one of his 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 plinded during the world, war might regain their, sight through the- sacrifice of sommore fortunate comrade willing to give up one .of Iris eyes, Dr. Faliede, noted opthalmologist and formerly collaborator of Dr. Car- rel, whohas made a specialty of craft- 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 beets made 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 lien pidity, but within a ,fortnight disin- tegration begins." Qw� �1 DIPN'-r KNOW e'aU WERE AN 0 Will Disellos World Supply of $oftw000 The predominating' theme for die- vuesion at; the - Eire For'- estry Cenfer'enei, which is mpbeing .con voned in Canada this summer, open - leg in Ottawa at the end of July, will be "World's Softwood Supplies." Ale though hardwoods are essential for many purposes, the advantages of the softwoods for all forms of ordinary eonetruotion, and especially for the manufacture of paper, the demand for which is constantly and greatly in-' creasing, render them of, paramount, eimportanceiviiizedworinld, ,the economic life of the The Conference will be attended by authorities who have been making siloe tial investigations regarding softwood supplies. Although the Conference is essentially of an Empire character, and it is desired above all to aesiee in rendering the Empire Golf -sustaining in its timber supplies, it le else :webs... Vary--to_take cognizance of similar sup- plies available -in other cou}trien. It is expected that bY TaeruenalUeiall of` the Conference, a thorough preliMin- ary inventory of the 'softwood' c'o, sources throughout the world , will have been comleted. P I It is most appropriate that such a subject ehould;have been chosen for the main discussion in Canada, for our country has been most aptly described as, the "Softwood ,Storehouse of the Empire." By reason of Canada's northerly location, she enjoys peculiar advantages for the growth ofconifer- one timber. Although extensive hard- wood forests ardwood"forests ire found in Eastern Canada, particularly as regards maple, birch, and beech,' which are present in considerable quantities, it is nevertheless d fact that the economic, trees for production and exploitation in Canada are the pines, spruces, firs, cedars, hemlocks, etc. -all softwood trees. It must be remembered that as an essential process in placing lumber on the markets; it is customary in East- ern Canada (where the extensive hardwood forests are situated) "tq utilize the old method of "river driv- ing" to convey logs from the woods to the sawmills. . So far, Sit is, to all practical purposes, commercially im- possible to transport hardwood logs for long distances in .this manner, and it• is this feature which, in a• measure, renders a great portion of our hard- wood forests as of problematical value, This particular feature of the situation offers a very interesting field ofresearch, namely, to see whether some means -cap be provided to reBSer hardwood logs . drivable, or else in some manner: to devise•means whereby they may' be taken from the.woods to the mills by other methods. Many such points • as these will re- ceive attention at the -Conference, and, in view of the 'fact that representa- tives front countries wherehardwoods production predominates, will•, attend it possible, at least, that many new ideas will be made available to Can- adians attending an-adians:attending the Conference. It is now thoroughly assured that the Conference will be attended by at least : a dozen or more prominent for; estry men from the United Kingdom. India is'sending two`tlroroughly qualm fled representatives; New Zealand, Australia end South Africa are ,;also' sending delegates; finally the Colonial Office, and a 'number of the, Crown Colonies will be represented :by offi- cers, from. their forest services: Such wide and carefully chosen represen- tation undoubtedly augurs well for success of the Conference, • Royal Nerves. It is given out that the Prince of Wales intends to visit his Alberta ranch in September. He will conte to Canada without his title or any ap- purtenance of royalty,; and all he asks is to be let alone with the prize cattle of the plains and the sturdy herdsmen who attend to them. He will roam the open with rod and gun, be a comrade' on the 'trail with the "silent, smoky Indian," pitch his tent by waters that run free and frigid from the ice fields, and leave, Completely behind him, "long ago and far atoay," the tedious in-: ve`stiture of royalty in London Town. Driving down a ' teat peg In the Canadian Rockies is so much better than laying a cornerstone in Leeds or ,Manchester. To have the freedom of the illimitable reaches of the prairie is! healthier than to receive the freedom of the city from a Lord Mayor with an ermine collar or a chain of .gold: What are wearisome addresses, or a progress through cheering streets, en the rounds of fairs and factories, or the midnight amenities of the ballroom as compared with the breadth and nig- nese and heavenly apace of the magni- ficent demesne that is Alberta? To that province it fulls to put,.a Prince in repair, that in due time lie magi come as a strong man to the full.' ness of his power and wear a crown and wield a sceptre for the good of the Whole empire that the Prince has been seeing for himself. With all the constitutional hedgings of monarchy, the situation which the young man one day must fill is no sinecure, It carrier an almost intolerable burden of social and personal implications.
