Strictly speaking, If the Conservatives argue tbat Progressive votes should be detached Irom the Liberal vo'e, so should the Patenaude votes be deducted from the Conservative total. Tbe Patenaude wing was even more insistent on its aloofness from Mr. Meighen than the Progressive party was on its differences witb Premier King.

"ONTARIO" FIRST UNIT IN ALL-CATTLE TRANSATLANTIC FLEET ANEW era in Canada's export cattle trade is believed to have been begun with the organization of the Livestock Steamships Limited for the purposo of operating a fleet of all-cattle boats from eastern Canadian seaports to Great Britain. Tho first boat ever designed solely for the transport of cattle, the S.S. Ontario, sailed from Saint John on January 24th with a cargo of 1,168 Canadian cattle for Glasgow. Tho sailing of this steamship, which is shown above, marks not only tho inauguration of an entirely new type of cattle boat, and the advent of a new steamship line plying between Canadian and British ports, but also, in the opinion of export cattlemen present, a significant movement towards enlarging the cattle export trade of the Dominion and the r lacing of the Canadian exporter in a position where he will be ablo to compete on more equal terms with his Irish competitors. The formation of the new line, which is known as the Livestock Steamships Limited, is due to Mr. TI. P. Kennedy, president of the Livestock Producers of Canada— probably the largest exporter of cattle in the Dominion—and Albert Jensen, steamship operator of Copenhagen and London. With them are associated in the venture a group of men in Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton and other parts of Canada. Mr. Kennedy is shown in the group of pictures above. Beside him is a scene on board the S.S. Ontario, showing the loading of feed for the first cargo. While the photograph at the top is of a group of cattle on one of Mr. Kennedy's feed lots adjoining the Canadian National Railways at Edmonton, where many hundred head of cattle have been prepared for export during the past two years under his supervision. The "Ontario" is the first of four sister ships to be placed in operation immediately and is equipped to carry cattle on five decks. All decks are of steel and cement construction and access is had to each by runways and elevators. Each deck is divided into a series of stalls, each of which accommodates four animals. Ventilation is provided by a series of turbine ventilators, which produce a complete change of air on every deck every six minutes. The schedule calls for a round trip by the "Ontario" every 27 days and the cattle industry of Canada will be able to control the steamship to any desired port, thereby ensuring to the shippers the best market prices.—C.N.R.

Comparatively few of the thousands of miles of railroad in Canada are electrified, but there is no railway organization' which does not rely to a greater or lesser extent on electricity as an aid to efficient operation and service. Electricity plays an important part in all of the great Railroad Shops through the country. Some trains and cars are operated by power directly transmitted or stored in batteries. Bridges are operated, and a thousand and one electrical devices are in constant use which beside being labor saving do away with the human element which might make for inefficiency. Numbered among these are the automatic Block Signals which one finds distributed along the line of the Canadian Pacific, •nd notices particularly in the Rocky Mountain passes where they are more urgently required. r To the average layman an automatic signal is just a signal, and the general public is only interested in it because it gives added protection, or rather eliminates possible danger from the portion of truck which it governs. To the railroad official it is more. It acts as watchman ■gainst broken rails, open switches, a fouled track or any ■» other obstruction. Through a circuit in the rail this 'n . accomplished, and if the circuit be broken, for the reaso . that another train is occupying the block, or that there h an open switch, a broken rail, washout or other obstruction, then the train approaching the signal may not pass. And while it awaits a through signal, trains following in the rear may not approach for the reason that they ara also stopped by an automatic Bignal which will not release them until the preceding train has passed from that section of the track which they desire to enter. A perfect system. No electrical circuit — no through signal — no train may pass. The value of this system in the Rockies can hardly be ov<*r-estimated. Not only is labor saved, but tht company is able to ensure absolute protection. FROM EVERYWHERE H. B. Beaumont, assistant steamship general passenger agent, has been appointed assistant to the steamship passenger traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific Steamships, according to recent advices at the head offices of the company. Canada's agricultural growth during; the past .quarter of a century is we'l illustrated by figures compiled by the Dominion Government, which show that during the past year field crops had an estimated value of $946,166,000, as compared with (196,673,000 in 1900. Production on Nova Scotia farms in 1925 amounted to approximately 140,420,000, as compared with $36,- 435,000 in the previous year. Items making up this total were: Dairy, $10,200,000; livestock, $2,200,000; field crops, $18,700,000; poultry products, $1,220,000; fruits and vegetables, $8,000,000. A railway car, originally built as an observation car for the Canadian Pacific Railway, was used as a "chapelle ardente" and funeral coach to transport the remains of the late Queen Mother of Italy. This car was used in hospital service during the war and was sold, with others, to thc Italian State Railways after the armistice. Strange scenes are laid in the Canadian west on account of hoarfrost and snow. Thc trees and shrubs are covered with snow forming strange white animals in the Kicking Horse Pass region. A number of photographs were taken recently in this neighborhood showing grotesque and terrifying figures in the form of prehistoric animals. Her Excellency, Lady Byng, wife of the Governor-General of Canada, speaking at Ottawa recently, gave a vivid description of the scenic beauties of the Canadian Pacific Rockies. She advised Canadians to see Canada first and get to know this country and something of the lives of the people who live in its various parts.
