Next spring«everal promising claims at Tulameen will be worked extensively. There are extensive deposits of mercury awaiting development in British Columbia. The biggest placer proposition ii> the world is the Bullion mining property at Barkerville. The ( Nicola Valley is rich in mineral, and some day mining men will flock to that section like tramps to a free lunch counter. George Bennet is of the opinion that Camp McKinrjey and Fai-rview will be on the mining map again when the power line is completed; The Grtanby Company may resume operations at Grand Forks. The company is considering erecting a concentrating plant to-utilize 500,000 tons of low grade Phoenp; ore. ,/The St. John Del Rey mine in Brazil is the deepest gold mine in the world—6320 feet.

Near Calgary, last Monday, three seagulls werje killed. A second crop of strawberries is being picked in the Lillooet valley. The Canada Coppor corporation, near Princeton, which is investing $2,000,000 or more in development and improvement, will probably complete its work, in progress for several years, on December 1. But it will not be able to engage in production at that time, owing to the la£k of a railroad and a power iinja,^ There is a gap of eight miles between the mine and the mill that remains incomplete and it is cdlisiderefeurilikely that much construction will be attempted upon it after snow flies except in tunnels where work may be performed under shelter. Several trestles remain to be_ built. It is believed that, construction of the power line will keep pace with that of the railroad, as i£s completion in advance of 'the railroad would mean little to the^ mining company, the service of both utilities being required at abqut the same time. It is believed their construction may be concluded next summer. All departments of the mining enterprise may then start-together and on a large scale. The* concentrating mill at AUenby will rank with, the largest in British Columbia. It will have a capacity of 2000 tons of ore daily and is large and impressive. The work upon it lacks only five per cent of completion. In recent weeks a crew of miners has been engaged in placing the mine in condition to yield oiv> on completion of the railroad and power line. About 200 men are employed in the mine^ and?'. f|jj>pns the mill and - ^h^s^t^^feti^S^fr^feBtenmi^ shop, blacksmith shop, boarding house and individual houses for • married employes and other buildings have been completed.

Comittees had been arranged, the last meeting having been held by Organizer D. B. Johnstone at Chase on last Thursday evening. Mayor S. A. Shatford is actively working in the Northern Okanagan, of which he is chairman. The Okanagan is divided nto three sections this year, and Mayor Shatford lis intent on having his district lead the field. The fruit crops, said Mr. Kearns, have been very heavy, and this coupled with a. shortage of cars and labor, is retard- ;ng the movement of fruit. Notwithstanding this, hoiwever, it is hoped to clean up the crop movement by the first of NovemberU, when the work* ars will devote their entire attention to the drive. The committee at Kelowna which has selected (Lieut. Col. Belson as district secretary, has taken over the luarters of the Great War Veterans' .Association, from Iwhieh the campaign will be carried on. The G-.W.V. V. In all parts of the district are solidly behind 'the loan, as is evidenced by the fact that.at Vernon the local district secretary, Capt. Tuck, is al30 president of that branch of the G.W. V'.A. At Peachland Mr. Kearns found that Chairman R. J. Hogg has already done excellent work. The same could be said of iSummeriand, iwhere the executive head is Rev. J. Solly, and at Penticton where Reeve F. M. Smith, chairman, and Lieut. T. L. fJarrison, secretary, have already started the good "work. The Simdlkameen district embraces the towns of Keremeos, Hed- 'ey, Allenby, Princeton and Copper Mountain, in all of which places ^aggressive committees have been formed, under the direction of Organizer 1. H. Carmichael, who will remain 'n that territory during the campaign. There are 800 men in the catnips in hat- part of the country and thus far < strong feeling favorable to the loan ~as been shown. Provincial organizers and district chairmen are working in harmony, ind the people are generally taking ictive share in the committee work. The generally expressed opinion is hat there, is a most favorable recep- • ion. awaiting the bond-selling drive vhen it begins next week. The Prince of Wales' flag, which is o be offered as the honor trophy thif >ear, is attracting great attention in he city and elsewhere. A red-border ^d field of white bunting, .with the rJnion Jack in the upper left hand corner, with the crest of H.R.H. 4n colors on the white field, makes a striking combination. It is possibly he most attractive looking of all of- 'icdal British ensigns. "I hope every own and city will v-'-1 my flag," said he gallant young prince, who won svery heart in the west on his recent cur. It is possible for every unit tc vin, for the flag is awarded on per- ' rentage basis. Every city or town leaching the quota of bonds set to be ;old, will be awarded the flag. For ivery additional 25 per cent, sold, a- jove the set .quota, an additional crest s to be sewon on the "white field of .he flag. The size for towns under 10,000 population is 4ft 6in. by 9ft Por towns and cities over 100,000 population the size is 7ft. by 13ft 6in. An .'ndustrial Banner, embodying the features of the flag, is to be awarded to companies or organiaation^wfta- >0 employees or over. An Employees Honor Emiblem, of the same design, >n heavy bristol card»is to be award- id to institutions with less than fifty employees. In each case seventy-five per cent, of the staff are to be sub- scribrs to the 1919 Victory Loan. A "$Hi2,OOO,0O0 Luncheon" is planned for Friday noon, by the Vancouver Victory Loan workers. The name s that of the objective set for the Terminal City, and as a selling campaign has been perfected on a most mterprising basis, the committee is nore than positive that the objective vill be reached easily, and I as the nany sanguine predict, it will be jcreatly exceeded. The luncheon is to )e addressed by Provincial Chairman V. H. Malkin; Mayor. Gale, chair- nan of tlhe Vancouver city organiz- ition, and Frank Parsons, vice-chair- nan and campaign manager. Gipsy Smith, the famed evangelist, now con luCting a series of revival meetings n the city, is also to speak for the /ictory Loan. "Carry on in the spirit of the Can- ldlan corps, Iwlhich never lost a campaign it engaged in, and never failed to reach an objective it set out for. I can only give you that message in the campaign you have*"§et out on." That was iihe message of General El Arthur Currie, K.C.B., G.C.M.G., in his speech to the provincial Victory Loan eomimittee at the Hotel Vancouver on Octdber 10. If only every British Colombian 3ould have read, not the words alone, but tlhe quiet, even, impressive tone of the unassuming leader of the Canadian forces, It would have been an Inspiration, as it was to those who heard his forceful address. That sentence should be the slogan of British Columbians especially of all .Canadians, for the. 1919 Victory Loan 1 H ii !'5;|| n ./ '*i&z *"!» "I Hope ' I'll Every City and District Will Win My Flag" ;. v§\ When Edward, Prince of Wales—eager, bright] eyed, smiling and sincere—arrived in Canada in I August, and when he voiced his great admiration of the wonderful achievements of Canadians, on the fields of battle and at home, once again we were thrilled with joyous pride. He asked concerning Canada's reconstruction programme, and when he was told of the Victory Loan 1919, he graciously consented to the use of his Coat of Arms on a flag, which is to be the prize of honour for districts' achieving their quota in the loan. In dedicating "The Prince's Flag" at Ottawa on l^abor Day, His Royal Highness said in part:— "It is a great joy td me to be associated with the loan, which is the bridge between war and peace, and which is finishing off the job." "I hope every city and district will win my flag." Striking, and beautiful in design, this flag will foftn not only an unique memento of Victory Year, but a lasting and outstanding souvenir of the visit of His Royal Highness—a visit which will remain as one of the most memorable events in Canada's history. The reproduction above shows the design of the flag. The body is white, the edge red; in the upper left hand corner is the Union Jack, and in the lower right hand corner the Prince of Wales' Coat of Arms. The flag is made in two sizes, 4 feet 6 u^chesJ^y' 9 feet for smalt cities, towns and villages, ancTT feet by 13 feet 6 inches for cities of over 10,000 population. Canada has been divided into canvassing districts by the Victory Loan Organization. Each city forms one district. Other districts have been determined according to population. Each of these canvassing districts has been allotted a certain amount in Victory Bonds to sell. To win the Prince's Flag, therefore, a district has to sell its allotment. That is the one and simple condition. Anticipating that many districts will buy far beyond their allotment, the organization decided that for each twenty-five per cent, excess of the quota one Prince of Wales' Crest be awarded. Thus the workers in a district doubling its quota will be the proud winners of four small crests for their Honour Flag. These crests will be sewn to the flag. The Prince's Crest— /A m I *&fn»t\ Wr*w^ »*«*,*, the three ostrich plumes—is shown at the top of the ,_coat ofarms. »J|| To every organization with fifty or more employees,^ where seventy-five per cent, of the enrollment invests a total of ten per cent, of the annual payrolljn Victory Bonds, a supplementary Prince of Wales Flag in ., smaller form—48 inches by 34 incheg—wiU^^^b^-' awarded. « * The allotment for each district has been°eare^ j^.. considered, and is based on a conservative estimate of the purchasing power of the district. Your district can sell its allotment and thus win the Prince's Flag, provided each person does his or her share. ||||| You will gladly do your part and encourage your neighbour to do his. Remember YOUR purchase may be the one that decides whether or not your district is to be the proud possessor of the Prince's Flag. The Prince's Motto is "I Serve'-' Will You also Serve? 9 A lCtory Loan Issued by Canada's Victory Loan Committee in co-operation with the Minister of Finance of the Dominion of Canada. 614 LrilL^ Drive.

This is being accomplished through the 'work of Naval 'Brigades which it has established and is operating in Charlotte- town, Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Saskatoon, Calgary, Victoria and Na- naimo. Other branches must be organized and maintained for it is very necessary that the younger generation of Canadians should "have full opportunity for free training in seamanship. Their service is required in the Merchant Marine which means so much for Canada's prosperity. .Funds for the carrying on of this important work will come from the proceeds of the 'Nelson Day campaign for $500,000, of which Ontario's quota is $2:25,000 including I$'r25,000 from Toronto. The drive will take place October 21, 22, 23, and all classes of the community are asked to contribute liberally, i BILLION SAVED BY PEOPLE ASSISTANCE TO EXPORT TRADE Navy League Is Training Young Canadians for Service on the Seas A great ship building programme is being undertaken in Canada. Shipping facilities must be enormously increased in order that Canada can properly enjoy the share of export trade which is necessary to is necessary if the business conditions of the nation are to flourish. The Navy :League of ICanada is engaged in full of unemployed men at present. Labor Shortage Vancouver—'Sub contractors at the various camps on the Kamloops-Ver- non-Kelowna line are badly handicapped in their work 'by the shortage of labor, and state that at least a thousand men could be utilized in construction work on ■tfhis branch at present were they available. The wages paid are from $4.50 to $5.00 per day, with a charge of $il.20 per day for board, and the conditions in the damps are such as to cause no complaint as to food or accommodation. Contractors have great difficulty in securing labor for this work at the Coast, though the citiies seem to be Some Striking Figures of Savings Deposits From Bank Statement for August A total of $1,196,632,93.1 in savings bank deposits is a gratifying report that many of the countries which have emerged from war would be glad to report today. This is the position of Canada as revealed iii the bank statement for August. The amount is $181,921,0616 better than the same month last year, notwithstanding the fact that a good part of it was transferred to last year's $600,000,000 Victory Loan, and is $21,- 540,778 better than July of this year. This lis a promising outlook for the Victory Loan campaign which is at present being carried on. If the depositors in Canada's savings banks were to say the word, they could subscribe the $300,000,000 asked nearly four times over. The success of the present effort should be overwhelming. ^iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisiiiisiiisiHuniiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiHiiiiniiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiNiiiiiiiiiiiiift 1 (atisfies ,aves "Canadians must sail the seas" is the heading . of one of the Navy League posters.

Ida Gardnei Drawn from actual photograph Why Monday's audience at Oddfellows' Hall was so completelyjmystified. Ida Gardner was inside the phonograph in all exit 1 cepting physical presence ties i adjacent isidence.^b ;4t the first reading, the story of the New JBJfson's performance on Monday, Oct. 13, at ^ii^adfellows' Hall seems fraught with mystery. But the explanation is simple enough. First, get a picture of what happened. Miss Gardner sang "There's a Long, Long Trail." She stopped after the first few lines, but her voice flowed on without a break. No one even noticed she had stopped—until some eyes, keener than the rest, saw her lips were still. It was only then that realization dawned. The audi ence found it had been listening to the New Edison.* .' .'■ ^/ Jj|:.- -. - jg|/ .-. To every ear, the two voices, living and RECREATED, had been without a shade of difference. That was what so mystified the audience. They had "expected the RE-CREATED art to betray its phonographic origin. It was a step too advanced for their comprehension that this instrument should be all that Miss Gardner is, excepting her physical presence. The ED << The Phonograph With A Soul" This extraordinary proof is the only means through which people learn to appreciate the true powers of the New Edison. If you are interested in music, it is indeed unfortunate that you were not present. Yet, you know this is a test which no other phonograph dares to attempt. It is a proof that no one can evade or deny. The New Edison* is the only phonograph which RE-CREATES music and the soul of music. Come in and hear it for yourself. §11 [1 The instrument used in Monday night'sTone-Test is the regular model which sells for $431. It is an exact duplicate of the Laboratory Model which Mr. Edison perfected after spending three million dollars in experiments. imf Simpso Cranna Merritt, B. C. juhi ■III THE.

II IWllllllllllllU Th rou&h the 9 In Canada, opening up _an Alpine region of entrancing beauty. It will b« possible to motor from Calgary tc % Windermere between sunrise and sunset through a hundred miles of the most glorious scenery in North America. A good automobile road rum south to Port Steele and Cranbrook and from Cranbrook,there are excel lent roads to Spokane, or eastwards through the ■ Crow's Nest Pass, anc back to Calgary. The Good Roads Association of Alberta is enthusiasts over the prospect as this will mear the advent of many tourists from air over America. The new road will als« be of great benefit to tna Upper Columbia Valley which has many attractions for settlers on account of tin, fertility of the soil and suitability foi' mixed farming. This valley is served by the Kootenay Central Railway, 5 ifi recently constructed branch of j th< ,,'fflM Canadian Pacliic.' . Between Ban£f, the popular summer I resort to the Canadian Pacific Rockies and Lake Windermere, the head waters of the great Columbia River, lies an Alpine ridge of spectacular beauty, forming tart of the Great Divide. This ridsre fa penetrated by > two cosapa«ativ&iy I easy passes, the Simpson, and the Ver- I mailon wfeieh lead into the Valley of the Kootenay River, a region afeeund- I «■« to gams on account of its being weH south of the iafein ltoe of the OasaadHan Pacific RaSaway. Between i the Kootenay RaTer ^a t^e 00^-^^ River is a small raa^e of monetaiaa. through which the Sinclair Pass and Canyon provide am easy road. Wuen the first surveys were made for an- automobile road between .Bansff and : Windermere it was gitaaimed to use the Simpson Pass, named after Sir George TMnapeon, Governor of the Hudson's : Bay Company, who made this crossing in 1841. But the rente over the Vermillion was found to be easier and at the same time more beanfcSful, and construction of the Highway of the Gr~at Divide was commenced from opposite Castle Mci;n<tain in this direction. At the same time the road from Windermere through t&ie Simetesr Canyon was also commenced and at the tkne of the outbreak of war a gap of only thirty miles separated the two roads. War put an end to coneta-uotton, and a great washout destroyed several miles of the western end, so that the project seemed to have been abandoned. Now, however, the Dominion Government has made an arrangement with the British Columbia Government by which the route of the road comes under the jurisdiction of the Dominion Parks, and a substantial appropriation has been allotted to findsh the work. In this way there is every prospect of the early completion of what wtM be the most wondefjgl a^ftBttofoMe road 12) Hunters The Reel Camp, Kcxrfcney River, Gate Highway of the Greait Divide. Finish the Fight Buy More] Victory Bonds AN official of the Dominion dov- ernment, who Is at present at Lethbridge, Alberta, superintending the grading of the wool in that district, computes that the clip of the Southern -Alberta Wool Growers will be about^a million and a half pounds. This is an increase for this association of twenty*nve per cent, over last year. Although it Is yet too early to make an estimate of the increase expected throughout the whole of the Canadian Prairie West, it' is not expected that the average in-* crease will be less than that of the Southern Alberta Wool Growers Association. In other words, an increase of^approximately twenty-five per cent, is looked for in the wool clip of Western Canada over that of last year. Shearing has now begun and will be in full swing before the middle of June. The increase in the number of lambs this year has been a very satisfactory one, being between one hundred and one hundred and fifty per cent, of the size, of the flocks. The Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Association, which was formed last year, is all ready to handle this year's clip. Two warehouses have been secured in Toronto, Ontario, to which the wool of this Association will be forwarded and stated for selling. A large majority of the Canadian sheep raisers are members of the association, but it is expected that much wool will be handled for - non-members, so that several million pounds will be sold through tHls channel during the season. !^j£^ The growth of the sheep industry among the farmers of Western Canada during the last few years has been a remarkable one. At least it appears so at flrBt glance, especially to those who do not know the country. But it is not so surprising to those who know the natural 'advantages of the country. Speaking generally there is no part of the continent where a farmer can engage in sheep raising with greater prospects of success than in Western Canada. The fjimate, abundance of food and, 1 '£*"*/«f**IMl mLWamaW^Lm^mLm^a»WS^m pirre water, make the country excel lently adapted for this useful industry. The comparatively low price of the. land here also gives the farm sheepman in Western Canada an advantage over his brother farther south. It is only during the last three or four years, however, that the sheep industry has begun to make any marked headway on the farms in Western Canada. The high Quality of the wool, together with the great demand and the good prices, has opened the eyes of the farmers to the possibilities of the industry, and it is growing as fast as the difficulty in securing breeding stock will allow. It is to the farms that we are to look for the further development of the sheep industry. The opportunities for sheep raising on the range are becoming scarcer every year. That this circumstance is an advantage to the industry in the more intensive farming districts there can be no do|lb,t^T^Te a few years ago it was difficult for farmers in such districts Ho make headway in competition with the sheepman, whose flocks ranged over a large stretch of country. The bi^h prices of wool and mutton have also given a great impetus to the farm sheep business,,and the continued development of the industry will contribute to the world's food and clothing supply. •fhe illustrations show sheep farms of Western e scene* Canada fCETON STAR, FRIDAY, OCT. 24,1919 KEREMEOS October 16, 1919 The Loyal Orange Lodge met on Tuesday evening, Oct. 7, and besides transacting the regular | business %f the lodge made arrangements for attending the special meeting of the County Lodge, which met at Princeton on the evening of October 16. * * * • Mr. H.

TMy entertained a few of their friends on the evening of Oct. 8. ^p * # * Interesting and well attended Thanksgiving services were held at Keremeos and Cawston on Sunday, Oct. 13. * * * (About a dozen of the citizens drove their cars over to Penticton on Saturday, Oct. lil, to meet the members of the Vancouver Board of Trade, who "were touring the interior of the province, and convey them to Keremeos for luncheon and entertainment for a short time. Here they wWe met by some of the members of the Princeton board of trade, who took them to that thriving metropolis. The .members of the Keremeos board of trade spared no efforts in trying to impress the visitors with the beauties of this valley, also to reveal to "them the won derful possibilities in the production of fruit, vegetables, minerals, etc. The visitors were driven over the principal avenues, through some of the best orchard sections and around the grounds of two of the leading citizens, Messrs. A. Morrison and W. H. Armstrong. Luncheon was served in the Keremeos hotel and great credit is due the proprietress, Mrs. Kirby, for the way she handled the large numbers who took dinner, and for the splendid menu served. Several of the local ladies gave their assistance in waiting on the tables. The visitors expressed themselves as being delighted with their entertainment, at this stage particularly, and proved that they had certain capacities for the reception of good • hospitality as well as for the handling of ibig business. A very fine exhibit of fruit and vegetables was on exhibition on the verandah of the hotel, "which had been arranged by Mr. H. Tidy with the assistance of some of the local growers and packers. Mr. Patten also had a fine exhibit of minerals on exhibition which had been brought in from different mines in the vicinity, one from the Horn Silver being especially full of>interest. In the absence of the president, Mr. 1R. G. Clark, Mr. Alex Morrison in a brief but pity address welcomed the visitors, on behalf of the Keremeos board of trade to the valley, speaking of its wonderful possibilities, and showing how much greater things could 'be accomplished if some much needed improvements were available, i.e., a better train service, better water facilities, and last but not least, a good road to Vancouver by the southern route over the Hope pass. Mr. Chris Spencer, the president of the Vancouver board, replied on behalf of the visitors, and in a short speech thanked the Keremeos people for their hospitality and hop* ed that in the near future they might all have the privilege of meeting here again. * * * Mrs. O. H. Carl entertained several friends on Thanksgiving Day. * * * Mr. H. B. Armstrong has gone to the Coast on a business trip. * * * Miss Eva Gibson who has recently returned home from Vancouver where she underwent an operation, is yisjt ing Mrs. H. B. Armstrong. * * * ms Great interest centered around the trial of the Jensen Bros., on Tuesday, Oct. 14, when the preliminary hearing was given before Magistrates Coleman and Simpson. Mr. J. A. Russell, of Vancouver, appeared on behalf of the defendants, and Md. Burns appeared on behalf of the police and local Cattlemen's Association. Two* of the Indians implicated and under arrest, had confessed to the charge of rustling cattle, and claimed that they were bringing these cattle to the u> oal butchers here. The first charge to come before the court, which assem'bled at 10 a.m., was against the Jensens for stealing chree steers and one cow on or about July 19 last. The first witness called was Peter Terrybasket, who swore that he had brought these cattle in ,nd that $5.00 per head had been paid him for this by Arnold Jensen; also that he had brought in several athers at different times for the same price, except on ona occasidH he had .-eceived $8, because he had helped .fill the animal brought in. Under cross examination this witness confessed to having borrowed money from the Jensens and received bank cheques for amounts which were marked "for beef." He said he could not read or write, but owned to having signed his name in endorsing the cheques. William Terrybasket, aged 72, uncle of Pete, was then called. This witness said he owned cattle, several of which he had missed. He had sold two dry cows to Jensens, and that his son Willie was on good, terms with Pete his cousin; also that Willie sold cattle for him at times. Willie Terrybasket was then called. He said they had raised nine steers. He had sold two dry cows to Jensens for his father and had borrowed $91 from Jensens at various times. Cross examination brought out the statement that he did not know anything about a (hundred dollar cheque^^jsMch^ had been sa^ed-^foiHrrm^rjyMrs. Kirby. Some hides had been found in a hole in tljajgcound, which had been mutilated so that no brands were found. These had been held by the police and the three Terrybaskets claimed to be a<ble to identify two of them as having been their property, but could not.be sure that they were the hides of any of the four animals in question. ;2ijhief of Police Fraser testified to having seen these hides taken from a hole near the slaughter house .of the Jensens. Constable 'Spiller claimed to have seen these hides taken from the hole, and though the hole had been dug since spring, vegetation startad. Constable Brown had seen several hides in hide house, which were in regular order, and had seen mutilated hides which were taken from chis hole in the ground, and hacl kept same hides in his charge since the discovery. Tom Daly saw the hides taken irom the ground. Mr. E. M. Crooker gave his opinion as to length of time hides might have been buried, but could not be sure. About 5 p in. Lawyer Russell gi-re a sununary of the evidence and niD--- ed that tfcre charge be dismissed, claiming that the evidence given by the Indians was of little value, as they were, according to their evidence accomplices, that their evidence was very unsatisfactory, being contradictory in many points, and that unless corroborated by further evidence would not warrant sending accused up for further trial.. Lawyer Burns in reply, stated that while the evidence was not very satisfactory from Indians usually, yet their stories were very condemning, and while their minds were dtonfused in giving evidence, -she felt that the accused should be 'held, for further trial as the finding of the mutilated hides pointed towards guilt. ■ Court was then adjourned to meet at 8 p.m. On the opening of court the magistrate announced a refusal for dismissal, and asked to hear witnesses for the defence if there were any. Alfred Jensen and Arnold Jensen were then heard. Both pleaded "not guilty." Alfred Jensen claimed to have done the shop business and very little of the killing- or outside buying, and had dissolved partnership with his brother in the beginning of August. He seemed to have a good clean cut, straight forward story to tell. Arnold Jensen was not so well able to satisfy the court regarding his actions and at the close of the hearing the magistrate dismissed the charge ■ a- gainst Alfred Jensen, but held the brother for further trial. After discussing the matter for some time with the police, Lawyer Burns announced that they were willingSto drop the other charges against Alfred Jensen, if they would be permitted to bring up the further evidence they had a- gainst Arnold. The court agreed to this and adjourned till 9.30 a.m. Wednesday morning for the hearing of the cases against Pete Terjybasket and his pal Qualtier. On Wednesday both of these two were committed for trial at the fall assizes. OWING OURSELVES It is estimated by Sir George Paish, the eminent economist, that interest- bearing securities held by Great Britain make a total, of £5,000,000,000. The British securities held abroad do not exceed £1,500,000,000. There is a favorable balance after allowing for all doubtful and Russian debts, of a- bout £3,000,000,000. At an average rate of only four per cent, this means an annual income to Great Britain from this source alone of £120,000,- 000. No one can calculate the full effect of suoh a circulating asset to the people and government of Great Britain.

Up to this year the government of Canada' had sold Victory Bonds a- monnting to more than $1,200,000,000 to the 'Canadian people. The Loan now being floated will add materially to the total. If $1,700,000,000 be considered as the final outstanding war securities, at 54 per cent., the total payment to Canadian bandholders will reach $93,000,000 a year. Consider the business advantage which must come from such a circulating and recurring asset. The business created by such a "free movement of money will make up many . times for the excess taxation required to meet the interest payments. To that extent, at least a "thundering big" public debt has advantages, when it is owing to the citizens of the country. If our War Loan securities were held abroad, the interest would be a severe drain on the country. That is the economic reason for popular government loans. Car Shortage The car shortage in the Okanagan Valley and elsewhere has become a- cute. Fears are entertained that over 20 per cent, of this year's crop will rem'ain unshipped due to this cause. We would say that the demand for No. 3 apples and crated apples has been very little this year. (No. 1 and No. 2 has sold readily but No. 3s are hard to move at present quoted prices and under these circumstances it would be good policy to use the cars available to roll the 'No. 1 and No. 2 stocky which: is i85 to 90 per cent, of the Okanagan crop.
