WOMAN SUFFRAGE BILL.
Premier McBride of British Colum-
bia Opposed to It.
A despatch from Victoria, B.C.,
says: Premier McBride refused on
Wednesday the request of the
United Suffrage Societies of Bri-
tish' Columbia for the introduction
of a w.oman suffrage bill by ° the
Government. He suggested that
theagemetion" would have to be
brought up by a private, member.
"The Provincial Executive is not in
• entire agreement en this question
of the vote for women," announced
Premier McBride to a delegation
which waited on him. "If you get
the vote, then you would sit in Par-
liament, and it would-be reasonable
to suppose that some time you
would form, a woman's party and
probably run the entire affairs of
the country. That would be a logi-
cal conclusion," said the Premier,

A despatch from Ottawa says:
That the Western wheat crop for
1913 was almost 75 per cent.
greater than that for laet year, and
many previous one, is indiceted
by official figures issued by the
Department of Trade and Com-
merce on Wednesday for the firet
time, covering the receipts and
shipments of grain from Fort Wil-'
limn and Port Arthur daring the
present shipping season. Advance
figures which have been given out
at Fort William have bedloated that
the total would be,a large one, but
the final figures sheloy that it sur-
passes expectations..
The total receipts of grain:
in-
oluding wheat; oats, barley, and
flax, al, Feet William and Port Ar-
thur during September, Octobior
and November, the throe mouths of
the shipping Aeason, were 115,570,-
590 bushels, as compared with 67,-
367,502 bushels in 3912. In other
words, over seventy per' Cent. 0101.0
grain was received than dining

this season were 06,434,120 bushels,
as compared with 60,501,012 bash- e
els duririg a similar period last,
year, aro increaae of sixty per cent.
The best showing was mad o duro
hog September and October,' No-
vember receipts and shipments be-
ing about the same as for the same
months 'in 1913. This was due, of
course, to the fact that the crop
was moved earlier thisyear. Dur-
ing N.oveonber of this year the total
receipts of grain were 45,128,331,
while the shipmento were 39,598,114
