They had been hauling ties from the camp at James Lake to the river and after unloading decided to have a swim, and went into a shallow place. Frank Maida waded in first but went beyond his depth, the river being about 40 ieefc deep at this place. He could not swim and he was seen to flounder by his brother Rocco, who was present, and* called to Simpson who. immediately went in after the drowning man. Simpson only made three or four strokes when he threw up his hands and sank. Rocco ran to Howard Smith's and gave the alarm. Mr. Smith and G. S. Walters ran to the river but ���could, not see anything of the drowned men. Mr. Walters went to Rock Creek and notified the Provincial Police. - A raft was made and a number of men got on ib and floated over the eddy. John1 Walsh saw Simpson's body and dived, for it bring it to the surface. Constable Stewart had some men with a drag neb and Dan Rose and Arthur Mellor found the body of Maida the next morning. Dr. W. H. Wood, coroner, viewed the bodies and decided that an inquest was neb necessary as the drowning was purely accidental. The bodie3 were removed to Grand Forks for burial. & There were a lot of people in town on Saturday evening, but not many dixring the day.

Dines, F.R.S., who points oui in Nature that many well-known statistical facts are opposed to this belief. In European countries the death-rale is "highest in the south and lowest in tlie north, and the British Isles and the Scandinavian countries are especially favored. Though llie duration of possible sunshine is nearly the same in hot hpails, the intensity is far greater in the south. English records Cor 1881 lo '1912 being at hand, comparison was made 'ot the summer sunshine and summer death-rale of the different yea'is, and this showed that the iota- most sunless summers (1SSS, 1S91. J!)10 and 1912) all had an.exceptionally low death-rate, .while tin* sunniest summers (1S77, 1S99 and 19 U) had moio Ihan the average number of deaths. It is contended that the lacl thai ultra-violet rays aro help- 1 nl iu certain diseases does not prove that an excess of sunlight is generally beneficial, it is thought to be hardly credible that sunlight alone'Should be prejudicial to health and the explanation is suggested that it is the heat, with which sunshine is usually associated, that io harmful.

H ere an dTK ere Although it is only 18 years ago that Alberta became a province, its population fths increased fourfold, while the grain yield has increased twentyfold. Ev��n at the present low prices, the total agricultural products of Alberta in 1923 were worth $223,000,000. Reports concerning the apple crop in the Annapolis Valley show that the entire crop, including the estimated local consumption, was 1,816,000 barrels. It is reported that 70,000 apple trees and '3,000 plum trees will 'be set out in the valley this spring. The railways of Canada up to the end of last April earned ?6,000,- 000 more than they did for the corresponding period in 1923. This favorable result is due entirely to the fact that the people hav_> been doing more business. All' authorities are agreed that such a condition means growing trade. ^ Card of Thanks John E.
