Jobn\nHart, minister of finance, obtsiued\nfor the 12,000,000 worth of bonds\nJut sold. Twenty-five year 6 per\ncent bonds went for 96.877, and fbe\nreturn figures out at 5.22. In other\nwords, this price is tbe best secured\nsince the province last floated a S\nper oent loan, a little better than\nthe last loan and a good deal above\ntbe reoent western provincial loans?.\nHall of the new loan goes to take\nnp treasury bills sold to the bank to\nraise money fo capital outlays on\nuniversity buildings and trunk\nroads. The other balf will refund\nthe million dollar loan wbich matured last October. ThiB loan waa\nmade just before tbe 1920 election\n\u2022nd bore interest at 6 per cent; and\nthe price at whicb it was sold in New\nYork, together witb the premium\nwbioh was received wben tbe pur\nchase price was p-id here, mnde the\n\u2022ost to tbe province 4.79 per cent.\nConsidering premiums paid on remittances ol interest and principal,\nHie actual cost of the loan was 6.473\npet cent. Mr. Hart figured on clearing off this loan on a S.30 per cent\nbasis, but succeeded in doing so on\n4.0.23 basis.\nMeanwhile tbe pessimistic howling of opposition members io the\nlegislature appears to have had no\neffect upon the financial bouses, who\nreadily purchase British Columbia\nsecurities at a better figure tbao any\nother province in Canada is able to\nsecure.\nAttorney General Manson has\nissued a statement of figujes relet.\ning to motor vehicles in British Col\numbia, whioh shows the remarkable\ngrowth nf the province in this re\ngard. Last year the minister stated\nthere were 39,500 motor licenses\nissued, as compared with 6688 in\n1914, or an increase in ten years of\nover 600 per cent.\nThe government has kept pace\nwith the increase in motor traffic\nand -during the five years ending\nMarch 31 next the expenditures on\nprovincial bighwaye will have\n\u2022mounted to $7,760,000. During\nthe last fiscal year $1,733,821 has\nbeen spent in this way.\nMr. Manson states that ths motor\nrevenue for the past five years has\n\u2022mounted to 13,834,000. The policy\nhas been toahare this with the mu\nttioipalities and since 1921 a third\nof thia revenue has been paid over.\nThe sum ol $2,500,000 has been left\ntor the government, wbile in that\ntime $6,500,000 net has been spent\nOn the roads ot British Columbia.\nHon. W H. Sutherland, minister\nof public works, shows that since\nthe present government took office\nthe mileage of roads and trails bas\nincreased enormously. In 1917 tbe\nprovince had 12,225 miles of roads\n\u2022nd 8000 miles ot trails. Today\nthere are 16,200 miles of roads and\n2200 miles of trails. This means\nthat the government haB built upwards of 1000 miles of roads and\n160 miles of trails each year. The\nprovince also has 60 miles of bridges.\nFanners Needing Help\nGan Secure Immigrants\nWinnipeg, Jannary 81.\u2014Prospec.\ntive settlers from many countries,\ndirected by tbe overseas organization of the Canadian National railways, will begin to rsach Winnipeg\nabout March 15, and many of these\nnewcomers will be anxious to secure\nwork on farms in order that they\nmay learn by aotual experience tbe\nCanadian methods of carrying on\nfarm work. In order to assist these\nsettlers and also the farmers who\nrequire their services during tbe\nspring, summer and fall, tbe Canadian National railways have placed\napplication forms in the hands of\nall agents on C.N.R, weetern lines,\nwhicb farmers can complete and\nsend in without financial obligation\nof any kind. -Officials of the colon,\nization and developmen tdepartment\nof tbe railway in Winnipeg will then\nplace the prospective worker in\ntouch with tbe prospective employer and thus get the settler away\nto a good start.\nIt abould oot be overlooked tbat\ntbe immigraot wbo ie most likely to\nbe of uae to the western farmer ia tbe\nman wbo comes early in the spring,\nprepared for a year's work, ratber\ntban tbe man whocomesfora sbort\ntime, tempted by higb wages whicb\nare paid during rush period, and it\nis strongly recommended that, aB\nfar as possible, help should be engaged by the year.\nNo charge ia made for tbis service and tbe company assumes no\nobligation except to bring the\nworker and hie prospective employer together for their mutual benefit.\nFarmers wbo anticipate needing\nhelp during the coming year are\nurged to make application early and\nthus take steps to assist the vigorous immigration campaign being\ncarried out by tbe Canadian Na\ntional railways.\nTbe aggreasive immigrotion and\ncolonization plan being followed by\ntheCanadian National railways will\nresult iu'tbe bringing to Canada of\nmany thousands of good citizens\nduring the next few months. To\nensure theae newcomers work is the\nmost practical way ot ensuring\ntheir succeaa. By the method out\nlined the employer of farm labor\ncan supply this cooperation and at\nthe same time secure help for him\neelf for tbe coming year.\nWell On His Way\nThe KlcndYke ta ta the threes of\nanother gold aad silver mak.

Smythe informed the meeting tbat tbe cubs were holding a tea\nand solicited the patronage of tbe\nmembers for the boys; also that arrangement for a bean feast at a later\ndate by the scouts in general were\nunder progress.\nScoutmaster Thompson spoke on\ntne work of scouting and pleaded\nfoi a more sympathetic attitude on\nthe part of many parents, emphasizing that soouting did not interfere\nwith a boy's school duties; rather\nwould it fit him better for tbe discipline of the sob ol, the cardinal\nprinciple of a scout being \"To\nObey.\"\nThe meetiug closed at a late hour,\neveryone feeling that the Boy Scouts\nwere off to a good start for the year\n1924.\nwithout further delay. The yields\nsecured from these fillers to date\nmay be of some interest to apple\ngrowers. Tbe varieties used were\nJonathan, Wagner, Cox's Orange,\nDuchess and Yellow Transparent.\nThe total yield of each variety for\ntbe eight years sin e date of planting, figured on the basis of forty\neight trees to the aore, is as follows\nJonthan 377 boxes, Wagner 301.5,\nDuchess 291, Yellow Transparent\n220.5, Cox's Orange 163.\nIf is apparent that even tbe highest producing filler, Jonathan, gave\nan average annual yield oi less tban\nfifty boxes to the acre. When the\ncost of trees, planting, cultivation,\nspraying, pruning, is considered, it\ndoubtful whether even the Jonathan\naud Wagner have justified their\nexistence.\nTheBe observaiions suggest that\nthe planting of filllers between permanent apple treeB set thirty feet\napart is a practice of questionable\ncommercial value. The problem of\nplanting fillers aod the time for removal is one which the individual\ngrower must decide for himself. In\nmaking this decision, however, he\nshould remember tbat if he expects\nhia permanent trees to produce large\ncrops of marketable fruit he muat\nbe prepared to allow tbem ample\nspace to develop.\nCan Not Dispense\nWith Canadian Wheat\nThe superior quality of Canadian\nbard spring wheat is recognized by\ntbe United SlnteB millers, especially\nby opejators in the Northwestern\naratea. Even at the high rate ot\nduty imposed by the Fordney tariff,\nlarge quantities of Canadian wheat\ncontinue to pass over tbe border at\nDuluth to be used in improving tbe\nquality of American flour. According to United States customs service reports, tbe importations of\nwheat at Duluth amounted to 11.\u25a0\n602,631 bushels in 1920; 8,763,687\nbushels in 1921; 343,165 bushels in\n1922, and 1,010,123 for the first\neleven months of 1923. Even with\nthe amount of Canadian wheat going into ihe Northwestern states,\nHour milling is not flourishing. According to the Northwestern National Bank Review, published in\nMinn apolis, flour mills in that\nstate were in December ruuning nt\none half capacity orless, and toe\noutput was booked almost entirely\nfor domestic trade. In contrast\nwith this, the readers of this Review ara told, Canadian mills are\nrunning at full capacity on export\ndemand.\nOF I92U0UNCIL\nStandin ^Committees Appointed\u2014-Chairmen Requested to Bring in\nTheir Estimates asEarly\nas Possible\n!rom\nEverywh\nere\nThat thc average weight of Alberta's 1923 wheat was 64 pounth to\nthe bushel, or four pounds more li.:-.n\nthe standard, is tho statement ol\nGeorge Hill, Dominion Grain Inspector at Calgary,\nThe scsson of navigation for tlie\nyear 1928 is the longest since the\nyear 1814, or 109 years ngo, according to a statement mode at Quebec\nby Captain J.

C]\nOFFICE: COLUMBIA AVENUE AND LAKE STREET.\nFRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1. 1924\nNotes, Notions and Notables\nThe remarkable increase of 34 per cent ib\nthe amount of timber scaled in British Columbia last year over 1922 is a forcefel illus\ntration of the immense value of lumbering and\n.allied industries in this province. The* total\ns3ilo in 1923 was 2,342,180,000 board feet, as\no-up.ired with 1,890,158,000 board feet the\npi'j;) ling year. Federal ii^ure.-s, admittedly\no i>;i'vative, place the -g-inding timber ofthe\nprovince at 360 billion board feet. The figure\nis g3-ici*ally given by the provincial authorities\nand timber experts as 400 billion feet. In 1922\nthe loss through forest fires was very heavy.\nLast year, happily, fire losses Mere but a small\npart of those of the farmer \"dry\" year. The\nforest branch is credited with an efficient con\nservation policy, in so far as protection against\nfire is concerned, but even at that the annual\nwaste through the ravages of the destroying\nelement is heavy. Three years ago the total\ncapacity of provincial sawmills was placed at\n2,500,000,000 board feet per annum. Last\nyear's scale slightly surpassed that fig.ire, but\nmany new mills have been established,so that\nthe present capacity is probably three billion\nfeet per year. Adding a mean average loss\nthrough fire at a billion feet, the capital stock\nof timber is being depleted by approximately\nfour billion feet each year On the other hand,\nthe annual increase of British Columbia timber through growth alone is piaced at eight\nbillion feet. A portion of this increase naturally occurs inremote districts and in forests\nwhere logging operations at present are not\nprofitable. But the fact remains that with the\npractice of the intelligent conservation methods now being followed by the lands department, careful cutting and modern reforestation, British Columbia has an almost inexhaustible asset in her forest resources. The\ngovernment is credited with having placed the\nindustry on its feet, largely through the great\nassistance which has been given the marketing of lumber.\ntrading post, and coming upon the site of St.\nLouis, located there.\nAn eminent professor of Assyrian and\nBabylonian literature has devoted much time\nand study to the cuneiform tablets unearthed\nat Nipour. These tablets reveal the fact that\nthere has been more than one effort on the\npart of ancient scribes who lived prior to the\ntime of Abraham to give a history of the\nworld, beginning with the story of creatiou\nand extending to the time the tablets were\nwritten. ; These tablets relate that a famine\npreceded the flood. The inscriptions say that\nthe people practiced cannibalism during the\nfive foodless years. The tablets also lead to\nthe belief that the Hebrews were '^natives of\nAmurru, a region between Babylonia and the\nMediterranean, and that the antiquity of their\nculture is as great as that of Egypt or Baby\nIonia.\nMah Jongg, the \"new\" game which hasjust\n\"happend\" along to agitate lovers of games of\nchance, is only about 3000 years old, accord\ning to legend. Like such a vast number of\nother things good, bad or indifferent, it had\nits urigin in China. A fisherman named Sze is\nsaid to have lived on the shores of East China\nLake, near Mungpo. He was esteemed rich\nand owned a number of boats. sSomeofhis\nfishermen were inexperienced hands and suffered from seasickness. When they fell sick\nthey had to be taken ashore. .Seasickness sSze\nregarded as a disease of the mind, so he got\nhis nine brothers together and their combined\nintelligence produced \"Mah Jongg\" as i\nmeans of helping landsmen to forget them\nselves when the boat was tossing. The game\nis also known by the names of Mah Chang,\nMall Choh, Pung Chow, Mah Juck, Pe Ling,\nMali Dia, Pung Woo, Mah Cheyk.\nMighty mastodons, infinitely larger than the\nlargest elephant,are said'to have once rambled\nover Canada.,; The skeleton of one of these\nenormous creatures was discovered near London, Ont., with tusks eight feet long. The\ngreatest mastodon cemetery in North America\nis the valley of Red Deer in Alberta. London,\nOnt., is about 700 miles south of Red Deer\nand nearly 1800 miles east of it. Through this\nenormous territory, and probably also far be\nyond the bounds of it, roamed these and other\nmonsters. The general opinion of geologists is\nthat the mastodon became extinct in the\nPleistocene age, the period before the advent\nof man upon earth, but many authorities think\nit highly probable that the mastodon and man\nwere contemporary for a short period on the\nNorth American continent. It belongs to the\nsame family as the elephant, which has sur\nvived in Africa and in Asia. What Canada\nlooked like when it was inhabited by the\nmastodon must be left to conjecture.\n!2 When the news was flashed over the world\na few years ago that General Allenby had\nconquered the ancient city of Jerusalem, a\nwoman was heard to exclaim, \"Gee! I always\nthought Jerusalem was in heaven!\" Almost\nas vague are many people with the regard to\nOphir, mentioned in the Bible in connection\nwith gold. However, there really was an Ophir\nfamous for its mines. Ophir was frequently\nvisited by the ships of Solomon and of the\nPhoenicians. It is several times mentioned in\nthe Old Testament, but its location has never\nbeen satisfactorily determined. Among the\nmany places in the writings of travellers which\nhave been identified with Ophir, may bo men\ntioned Armenia, the Molucas, Peru, Iberia,\nPhrygia, Africa, India, Arabia, Malacca, San\nDomingo, Mexico, New Guinea and Ormuz.\nIn all probability, however, Ophir was situ\nated either on the east coast of Africa, in\nArabia or in India.\nIt's a bother to have to read from a heavy\nbook. They thought the same some centuries\nago. Prof. F. W. C Meyer of Rochester re\ncently received a German folio Bible printed\nin 1672, weighing twenty-five pounds, and the\ntitle page bore this comforting legend, which\nI translate: \"Now, however, through the grace\nof God, we have for the first time printed\nthis qook in comforable and readable shape.'\nE.G.
