It '.a the policy of tbe govern\nment to maintain the road. Tbe\nidea of ab ndoouient could never\nbe entertained. It would bave a\ndisastrous effect on tbe credit of tbe\nprovince to advertise tbat tbe govn\nejnment is prepajed lo abandon an\nasset, on wbicb it baa a liability of\n\u202250.000,000.\n2 Tha proposed legislation pro.\nviding grants of land to tbe Pacilic\nGreat Eastern Railway company up\nto 20,000 acrea a mile is witb tbe\nhope of enlisting either of tbe two\ngreat transcontinental railways, tbe\nCanadian Pacific and the Canadian\nNational or soms otber private enterprise to take over the line.\nIn working out this policy tbe\ngovernment contemplates seeking\ntbe assistance of (be government of\nAlberta, of tbe Dominion and of\nQreat Britain in connection witb an\nextensive colo ization policy of the\nPeace River district.\n3. Failing to secure an agreement\nwhereby somebody will take the\nline off tbe government's hands on\nterms that can be justified to the\npeople, the government it- prepared\nto come to the house next session\nwitb legislation to complete construction of the railway at least to\nVancouver and PrinceGeorge.\nTbere was a general desire on tbe\npart of the province to be relieved of\nof some portion of the burden of\nCarrying tbe Paciflo Great Eastern,\nif possible, said Mr. Oliver.\nTbe land grant policy was a step\nin a direction wbich tbe government\nbad been looking ior some time.\nNo progress had been made in inducing the C nadiau Pacific or the\nCanadian National to take over the\nline, but with tbese tracts of land,\nthe government would bave some,\nthing definite to lay before tbe two\nbig railways\nL\nof information of per'ons doiug\nkimnge to property, either owned by\nthe city or by private iddividuals.\nAusten Chamberlain\nShe moving spirit in the Locarno\nconference, who was given the highest\nhonor tho king can bestow, the Order\nof the Garter.

DECEMBER 18, 1925\nA revived spirit of community cooperation\nseems to be pervading the towns and cities of\nthis condtry.   The purpose may differ from\nthat of old, but the results are much the same.\nEvery community from the smallest   rural\nsettlement to   the largest city appears bent\nupon outdoing others in this community cooperation.   Every available excuse for con-\ncerted action is pounced upon and  made the\nmost of.   Before the war the old-fashioned\ntown bad almost disappeared.   In most towns\nand cities they lived in memory only.   People\nwere regretting the passing of the Old  Home\nWeek, the once popular Harvest festivals and\nothers of the old-fashioned vehicles for com \u2022\nmunity fun-making. Since the war there has\nbeen an unmistakable reversion to the old order of community activity. All over the|nation\ntowns and cities are planning town  .reunions,\nold-home   weeks, holiday celebrations, community picnics and  many  otber community\ndemonstrations. It can even be'said that the\npresent is outdoing the past at the latter's\nown game.   Many explanations may be advanced for this resurrection of the community\nspirit. One, and perhaps the most accurate, is\nthe use to which community cooperation  was\nput during thi war in   support   of national\nmovements and the extent to which community cooperation was organized. Another is the\ngrowth ofjthe community advertising plan.\nEverywhere towns and cities are outdoing big\nbusiness in   all forms of advertising.   It is\ncommonly remarked that every town in Canada is engaged in the business of putting its\nname on the map. Many community activities\n-ire   sponsored   by   merchants   and business\norganizations to attract suburban trade. There\nis still a third cause for the return of the\ncommunity spirit, and tnat is a new desire on\nibe part of the millions who >ue seeking the ir\nrirtunes away from home to revisit the  old\nliome town with their fellow wanderers.\nFROM EVERYWHERE\nA seven passenger twin-engine\nflying boat, which it is said will\nrevolutionize the aerial fire-fighting\nmethods employed by the Govern\nment protective patrols, is h'*!*-*;\ntested at the Dominion GovernriSoat\nAirdrome at South Marsh, near Ottawa. If satisfactory it will bs\nflown to Manitoba where it will take\non fire preventive duties in one oi\nthe most important forest areas.\nWhy isn't the man who tips the scales at\n300 pounds a high-weighway.\nThare were 9000 silver black fox skins sent\nfrom Canadian provinces last year to eastern\nfur markets. The pelts averaged $10586each.\nThis price represented the highest price paid\nfor any hide of our native fur-bearers. Fisher\nran second at a price of $70 each, but only\n4000 of these animals were taken.\nThe 1925 total of dividends paid\nand declared by gold and silver mining companies in Northern Ontario\nis $10,402,174, representing a gain\nef $2,013,131 over the dividend record\nof 1924 and constitutes the grei-.tcst\nrecord for Canadian precious not.nl\nmining industries. From 1904 to\n1926, since silver was discovered in\nCobalt in 1904 and gold found In\nPorcupine and Kirkland Lake in 1909\nand 1910, records show total dividends of $150,774,199 from these\nfields. The aggregate profits are\nnow averaging $1,000,000 a month.\nReal gratitude is never ashamed of humble\nbenefactors,\nTbe year 1926 is in the making aud already\npromises'to make prosperity  histion.   Tbe\nc luntry is at peace with uself and the world.\nThere is a satisfying caim in the relations be-\nl ween   capital  and  labor.    Waat and nnem\nploy ment are virtually unknown.   There is\nevery reason why Canada should have a pros\nparous New Year.   Rising stocks and an unprecedented demand for securitses promise\nmore money for industrial expansion during\nthe year and offer a guarantee of greater rail\nway stability.   Business, industry   and   commerce are confident of a prosperous year.\nWheat  is bringing high prices, with happy\nconsequences for the farmer.   Appeals tor aid\n,ire no louger heard from the agricultural areas\nand yet nrban folk are not complaining about\nfood costs.\nBurning an oil flame under water jor weeks\nat a time and avoiding most of the heat loss\nof an   ordinary boiler, is the feat of Oscar\nBrunler, a Belgian scientist, says a Science\nService letter from Brussels.    By means of a\ndevice similar to a carburetor, a spray of crude\noil mixed   with air is blown into the bun er\nunder   pressure.   Water is kept out of the\nburner until it is hot and the fire   is burning\nwell. Then the water is allowed to rise around\ntbe flame until it is submerged.   Once started\nit can be kept burning for months.    All designs of boilers aro based on tbe principle of\nbringing tbe flame ofthe fuel into the closest\npossible   contact   witb the water in order to\navoid loss of heat.  The most efficient method\nis to bave the flame directly in the water, and\nthis is what Brunler has succeeded in doing\nHis  success  is shown by his report to the\nSociety of Dhemical Industry.    More than\nsixty different kinds of oil have been   burned,\nand boilers   have worked continuously   for\nmonths.   Tbe flame can be regulated completely by turning one wheel.    While an ordinary burner seldom gives as much as 75  per\ncent of the heat, as determined by common\nmethods of analysis, this submerged flame has\ngiven a heat efficiency of practically 1000  per\ncent for weeks at a time.\nBettering the world record of 3,-\n447,024 bushels of all grains marketed on C.P.R. western lines Thursday, November 19, A.

From August\n1 to November 20 inclusive, 148,078,-\n445 bushels of all grains have been\nmarketed at stations adjacent to\nCanadian Pacific Railway lines as\ncompared to 109,661,136 bushels for\nthe same period last year, an increase of about 36 per cent.\nWit is folly when in the keeping of  a fool.\nPoems From Other Lands\nArabia\nNotes \u2022 Notions \u2022 Notables\nArt and sentiment could hardly design or\nconceive a more impressive monument than\nthat which is to mark the battlefield of Verdun.

Klcbnlk, official interpreter, carries with it all tbe significance of a step to progressive and\nmodern methods ln the new Russia.\nAccording to these three representatives of the Soviet government,\nRussia now has about 80,000,000\nsheep and hundreds of millions of\nhead of other live Btock.\nRamboulllet rams have been purchased by tbem, not to increase tbo\nnumber ot sheep, but to improve\nquality. It is expected that a better\ngrade of wool will be produced by\ncrossing of breeds. In this connection, sheep shearing machinery was\nbought to supplant the old-time hand\nblades. This in itself is expected to\nincrease the wool crop about 1%, not\nbecause the machine shears closer\nthan hand blades, but because it removes the wool evenly and in an\nunbroken blanket, leaving no ridges\non the Sheep.\nRussia ls anxious to enlarge its\ntextile business with a view to producing its own wool for manufac\nturing purposes. Another committee-\nfrom that country has been studying\ntextile mills in Pennsylvania aud\nMassachusetts.\nAdmittedly, there ls great need in\nRussia for farming implements as\nthe Russian farmer now has practically all the land he wants, but ls\nunable to develop all of his ground\nbecause of lack of farm machinery.\nAnother great need is dairy machinery such as milking machines,\ncream separators, pastcurl.--.inf; machinery, horse and cow clipping machines and butter-making machinery.\nM. Pereferkovitsh said he Intended\nto buy more than 6,000 sheep, but\nowing to misinformation as to the\nbest buying season, he arrived in thia\ncountry too late to get all ho wished,\nand so expects that next year aa\nmany aa twenty men will be sent to\nthis country to make these purchases.\nRussia is doing everything possible\nto Improve farming and dairying\nmethods. Graduates of agricultural\nschools are teaching farmers and\ndairymen modern methods and the\nuse of modern machinery.\nMany things point to Russia as\none of the world's great future\nsources of dairy products.\nCITY REAL  ESTATE\nFOR SALE\nApplications for immediate purchase of Lois\nand Acreage owned by the City, within the\nMunicipality* are invited.\nPricest\u00abFrom $35.00 per lot upwards.\nTerms t--Cash and approved payments.\nList of Lots and prices may be seen at the\nCity Office.\nm\n0\nJOHN A.

If anyone\ndoubts that the busy bee can be aa busy aa all that, refer\nhim to Mr. W. D. Wright who has a large and prosperous\napiary near Souris, which is in southern Manitoba on the\nCanadian Pacific Railway, and if anybody doubts the\nfertility of the Province of Manitoba or wonders if.the\nsummer auns there shine down on wide fields of glorious\nbloom, let him read the following which is gathered from\ntiie columns of the \"Souris Plaindealer.\"\nIt waa on July 31st last that the hive of beea beside\nwhich Mr. Wright stands in the above picture gathered\nand stored the twenty-five pounds and established a\nrecord for thia continent and perhaps for the whole\nworld. There was no doubt about its being true, because\nthe Provincial Department of Agriculture made the test.\nFrom July 13 to August 3, the hive stood on a scale and\nevery evening when the bees' work was done and they had\ngathered around their fireside to talk it over, the weight\nof the hive was taken. The first gain was on July 14\nwhen 1 li pounds was brought in and from that quantity\nthe daily take varied up to 14 and 16 pounds. But on\nJuly 31 the bees got together and made a special effort\njust to show what they could do in the way of establishing\nrecords.\nPerhaps they had just discovered that their efforts\nwere being recorded Anyway we can imagine that the\nnight before, the queen called the crowd together, or\nfierhaps only the captains of teams, and said something\nike this:\u2014\n\"Now, boys, the world's got its eye on you and tomorrow's the day we go over the top. Any lad that comes\nin here with less than his full load gets into trouble and\nthe chap or team bringing in the biggest bag gets a wax\nmedal with my picture on one side and his own name on\nthe other.\"\nAnd how they worked that day! They worked all tho\nother days of the season too, because the total boney\nproduced for the season was 4C6J^ pounds. Of course\nthere were two or three rainy days when they stayed\nat home and did chores around the hive, and two or three\nother days when it didn't rain, but they stayed home\nanyway to look after the local elections or something like\nthat. And when it was all over no doubt the queen said\n\"Well, it's been a pretty good working season, I'll tell the\nworld,\" and as always is the case the Queen was right.\nHaving proved her superiority aa an organizer etc.,\nit was natural that wider spheres of endeavour should\ncall to this queen, so Mr. Wright shipped her to a big\nBee firm in Alabama who are sending him another queen\nnow, ten of her daughters next spring and three two-\nfiound packages of bees with three more of ber daughters\nn command. The trade was worth $36 to the Floradale\nApiaries. The locating, capturing and caging ready for\nexportation of the Wright queen was witnessed by J. W.\nBreakey, M.L.A., and a representative of the Plain-\ndealer. She was indeed a very fine lady Bnd was head of\nan enormous population that objected pretty strenuously\nto her removal, and you cannot really blame them for\nthat.\nMr. Wright's Floradale Apiaries thia year produced\nalmost four tons of honey and he hopes that next year\nSouthern Manitoba and the neighborhood of Souris\nin particular will again show the world something startling in the way of honey production. In the meantime\nour friend the queen will continue her campaign for \u2022\nbigger and better honey crop.\nThere i? ni> hustne-*-- that enters\nmor-* intimii'-iv iriln the lives, business and p'rivatp.

Seldom\nhave we cause to coiriplain of the service rendered in exchange for our few\nrents and we have come, to expect the efficient regularity of that service\nregardless* of the natural or economic disturbances which affect other\nservices. The letter was stamped and placed in the postal bos. It must be\ndelivered, and with dispatch, rain or shine.\nDue to the increasing use of His Majesties Mails, the Canadian Pacific\nRailway has found it necessary to add to its rolling stock, twelve new Mail\nand Baggage coaches. These, being up-to-date in every respect, provide\nevery facility for the handling of the mail, and a number of conveniences for\nthe clerks which the older type of cars could not boast of. The \"All Steel\"\ncars are some of the finest used by Postal authorities in the world, and the\nCompany is to be congratulated, in that providing every facility for the\nquick handling of postal matter, it has kept an eye to-the comfort of the\nclerks.\nThe forward end of the travelling Post Office, for snch It fs, ia Used\nmainly for storage purposes. On one side, movable iron stanchions separate\nthe buf-i destined for the various towns en route, and on the other ls tne gas\nstove, for cooking purposes, ice .water tank, lavatory, wash basin, and\nclothes cupboard \u2014 innovations which are greatly commended by the clerks.\n- The rear end of the mail compartment is the business end. A long\nreversible table, running lengthwise, allows the clerk to face either aide ol\nthe car in order to sort his parcels into the bags which are supported by\nfolding racks, and into the boxes conveniently arranged above tne bags for\nthe accommodation of newspapers, and which can be quickly emptied by\ntbe simple expedient of raising tha front. At tba rear end ia a table, the full\nwidth of the car, and behind this are the hundreds of pigeon holes into \"wfcU-'i\nthe clerk must distribute the letters for the various towns, quickly, alrcc I\nautomatically. At hia feet as he stands at his table, the clerk nas a tray i:.i\nwhich the letters posted when the train is at a station, drop. These lott:ra 1* \u2022\nstamps and distributes with those put on the train at the terminal. Cora v. it'.-\nwhich to tie the letters Into bundles is conveniently at hand, and ii some oi\nthe bundles contain registered mail they are placed into the pigeon hole::\nat one aide, over which a wire grating is fitted and locked. EverytH'-.ir is\nscrupulously clean.\nThe baggage and express end of the coaches is also the last word in c- r\nconstruction. As with the mail section, the doors open in the centre of I\ncompartment, one half of which has a solid floor, the other half b< l.-.g f*. \u2022\u25a0 \u25a0:.\nwith fish racks. In addition to the conveniences afforded the mcll der!:**,\nthe baggage men bave a folding table which fits tightly against thc wi 11\nwhen not in use, and which maybe utilized as a dinning table and \u2014 hut no!\nthere ls too much business to talk of cards.\nThe twelve new cars were designed by C. H. Temple, Chief of Motiv*\nPower and Rolling Stock, Canadian Pacific Railway, and were constructed\nby the'Canada Car and Foundry Company, Ltd., Montrcrl. They are\ndesigned to carry 80 tons of express matter and 10 tons of ir-il, a tcU-1 ef\n40 tons, compared with 30 tons, the capacity of the old type of coarh.

Thia eliminates the danr r of\npeople \"riding blind\".\nUntil more are constructed, the new coaches will operate between\nMontreal and Toronto, Montreal and Sault Ste. Marie, Toronto aud St.\nJohn.
