With toe assistance or the markets branch a special mixing privlcge freight rate on dehydrated apple* was granted and the growers got a direct benefit of $1 to 83 per, top more for their apples ln dehydrated form. The outlook for the year 1930 indicates that there is a prospect .of marketing upheaval* at distributing point cd the Prairies due to the claim made by purchasing organisation* that they have been losing money for some time for which loss they blame the Inroads of chain stores.

CARLSBAD. N. M.—Jim White, explorer and discoverer ef the famous Carlsbad cave, has Just found a cave burial tomb of the Basket Maker race, 4000 years old, ln the Guadalupe mountains along the New Mexico- Texas boundary. Several humas skeletons and numerous artifacts were revealed. So remote ln time is the Basket Maker that the ancient clic dweller, existing as long, ago as the dawn of the Christian era, Is comparatively a newcomer. Pottery making, hwlch had reached perfection 20 centuries ago, had not even come isto existence to the southwest during the Basket Maker period. Since the vanishing of the early people other races, h.ary with antiquity, have come asd gone ln this region. Mr. White, until recently head guide In the Carlsbad cave, a monument to his prowess as a plosecr, had' resigned hia position with the national park service. Looking too other vast cave:: he might again call his home, he slghl ed a black speck on a canyon wall :"': mile* away. This speck grew as he plodded, across the wlsd-swept desert, strewn. With bones of vast cattle herds per stones came to view; these refnoved, a rude iburlal coce made of sotol sticks and twigs bound together was found. Inside was a heavy packing of tule, a species of bulrush. This stripped away, next came a fiber mortuary rough made df the pulpy trunk of the Spanish bayonet, asd a grave. Finally, a human skeleton with knees drawn to chin. Then, one after another, the cave tomb gave up three more skeletons.

Hon. W. R , Smith, parliamentary secretary of the Board of Trade, in reply to question said emigration to Canada had increased, from 49,632 ln 1926 to 65,558 in 1929. while the Board of Trade figures showed the total emigration to Canada, Australia and New Zealand haddecreased from 119.- 000 in 1026 to 94,000 on 1929. The C lonial office also was questioned with regard to Dominion emigration. Dr. Drummcnd Shlels, parliamentary undcr-secretary. gave the same figures as Mr. Smith for Dominion emigration generally, stating emigration to Canada showed an annual ncrease.

Rude Burial Case Found The cave turned out to be s-,i one of the huge fairylands distinguishing these mountains, but a dusty nook, the abiding place of the dead. Is the dim cave light Mr. White discerned upon the fkor fragments of cactus cordage common to the basket maker. With no other tool than a pound coffee pot he began to sco.p away the ksee-deep layer oi dust that has accumulated during the long centuries. The excavation was made alpog Uu base of the cave wall, for these ancients buried their dead seldom iu the center of a chamber, but close beside the wall. Were counted feathers of three bird species. Tortoise Was a Symbol The tortoise' seems to have had some significance with these people of tlie dim ages. Offerings of tortlsa were observed. String from the size cf a thread to that of small trunk rope was unearthed.

The portion of the Dominion chiefly affected' during the past .season consisted of an r.ree cxtendtog from western Ontario to the Pacific coast. This men experienced very little snowfall drulng the winters of 1927-28 and 1928-29. During spring and sum- j me: of last year there was almost a complete lack of rain end this condition combined with extensive periods of high winds served to create an unparalleled condition of extreme drought throughout Western Canada. In the eastern portion of Canada Including Ontario. Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia dry periods were prevalent but were punctuated by occasional and timely rains. The outstanding feature of the 1039 fire season was the extraordinary expenditure for suppression action alone, the co2t of which was $978,000. This does not represent Uie total cost of protection, but merely the cost of actual fire fighting. In this respect lt is the highest figure on record for any fire season in the Dominion. ,~., « poems, "The Habitant.'

Mothers' milk Is a perfect baby food because it is perfectly adapted to serve as nourishment for the baby. It Is muck easier for a mother to nurse her infant than lt is for her to prepare artificial feeding properly.

A unique sightseeing trip through this delightful country can be made along these waterways tn a canoe. The start to made at Bordeaux With It* almost six miles of wharfage, lt ls among the few big ports which have troubled to beautify their water fronts. Its broad, quay-paralleling thorough- fan with here a tree-shaded promenade, there a public park and yonder a towering pair of columns dedicated to Commerce and Navigation, Illustrates for the benefit of manw another siunr- my water front may bring beauty out of business. From Bordeaux for 38 mile* thc Garonne river1 forma 'toe' waterway. The lateral, canal starts at Castets, and parallels the river to Toulouse.' Though navigation hasn't usually much to: do with hills and dales, that landsman's phrase aptly describes a canal "trip. The 260-mile' waterway ' which stretches from near Bordeaux to the Mediterranean—that is, the conjoined routes of the Lateral and Midi canals—ls regulated by 118 locks. These give a 630-foot drop on either dde of Caatelnaudary, the highest intermediate point. Thus the canoe voyager goes "up- . hill" to Caatelnaudary, then "down dale" to the Mediterranean, averaging lOVi'feet of ascent or descent each time he passes a lock. Beautiful Country The, Lateral canal leads through a smiling countryside of gently rippling hills and of close cultivation, with tobacco, plantations and vineyards alternating. Regiments of " staked vines align: themselves across the fields at the queerest angles, a planting system aimed at* securing the maximum exposure of sunlight. Here and there some picturesque ?. village,' Its Fifteenth-century houses dominated toy .a ruined donjon, mirrors itself in the Garonne. The canal and Its river feeder parallel each other for 130 miles, and lt ls but a abort stroll whenever one wants ' a glimpse of the latter. Their courses '.intersect at Agen. One suddenly finds himself cruising between two seemingly endless walls of masonry, and the scenery begins to drop out of sight.

Long before ono enters thc Can?,! du Midi at Toulouse, one realises how well named is France's "Midi", The to th* French word for m'.ddiy. In summer and autumn lt Is e. country of withering heat, shuttered houses, white roads, and dust-covered foliage, under a brilliant cloudless sky. Toulouse—alas for tho betraying charm of It* name I sprawls commonplace and disconsolate-looking, as If depleted by centuries of sunstroke. Of the medieval city that was the seat of a powerful countshop and the scene of religious war*, little remains but St Bernin's Romanesque pile, named for St. Saturnlnus, who was dragged behind the bull he had refused to sacrifice on Jupiter's altar, to recall Toulouse's architectural past. Old Custom* Retained With one other exception what the visitor would expect of that high- sounding name la discoverable only In histories. This exception ts the curious spectacle of forty citizen patrons receiving nine gold and silver flowers from La Daurade's high altar, then defiling through Toulouse to award these artl- flced amaranths, marigolds and other blossoms ln a poetry contest and finally hymning an eulogy on the festival's reputed founder. Dame Clemence Isaure. Such ls the May day fete of the ancient Academle des Jeux-Floraux. While floral festivals of varying kinds are held at Nice, Cahors, Lyons. Cette* and ln Normandy, Catlonia and Rhen lsh Prussia, lt ls only the Toulouslan] event which represents an unbroken tradition of six centuries' span. At Toulouse travelers by canal leave the Lateral canal and enter the much older Canal du Midi. Constructed In 1066-1681, this "canal' of two seas" re- j presents the earliest step .toward, the present Atlantic to the Rhone line. Beyond that 20-mile route extend the Rhone's northern canal connections whereby barges can travel Inland' from Bordeaux to French channel' ports. The most recently completed canal link ln southern France has opened a Marsellles-to-Calais line. This ls 8S3 miles long, or considerably shorter than the sea route. The Canal du Midi to not only tu. Important commerce carrier; it is among the most beautiful of French waterways, immediately beyond Toulouse lt traverses a series of woodland vistas, a ceaseless interplay of lights, shadows and reflections, that change with each turn of this endlessly twisting stream. The Midi canal's picturesque character ts due to the magnificent trees which line Its banks for more than 100 miles. Here are venerable oak- glades, there alleys of plane trees and yonder spear-stralght pines or somber walls of cypress. Often, Indeed, ranks of these different species, parallel each other In a multiplied depth of sylvan shelter. The lovely curves and green wealth of foliage are alike due to it* planners' method of mitigating, foi the benefit of barge traffic, the sweeping winds of the region. Nothing less than the epithet "flsh- i.biiity" could convey a picture of the Midi's anglers, squatting In endless succession along the canal bank. The approach of boats scarcely stirs them from their piscine dreams. Busy Market Day Scenes C^teln'audary tempts one ashore for that busiest of sights, a market town on market day.

The powers in command knew this and played safe at first by refusing absolutely to discuss the matter at aU*a*slmply buttoned their black coats defiantly and settled their chin whiskers into their collars in stubborn silence. It was no use. The ladles were in a talkative mood and there is no one man or group of men extant wh; hold ground Indefinitely under such circumstances. The good elders were finally goaded into bursting forth ln wrathful condemnation of the intrepid petitioners***and they were lost. Now that women have managed to bring the matter to a point of argumentation lt will be cinch for them. In the few Instances where the question has been taken to the mat, the rounds are slightly ln favor of the' permanent-waved ones, although the final outcome ls still a matter of speculation only. From the national office the prop osition was recently sent to 395 head Presbyterian districts throughout the United States asking for an opinion on It. Only 57 replies came in. Of the* 30 were flatly against any such fool innovation, 35 were half-heartedly for lt and two were on the fence. The rest of the 295 sniffed indignantly and with gritted teeth and quivering nostrils, refused to touch the question even with gloves on. In the 57 centers where tbe matter was thrashed out, things got pretty peppery. Indignant Stand-Patters threw everything but tbe church organ at the female faction. "Follower* only but never leaders", "rebelling against the law of God and Jesus Christ", "plotting to usurp the rightful power or man In the church", were some of the accusations burled at the determined sisters but they refused to yield ground even under tola barrage. One good pastor went so far as to say, "If we men haven't any more zeal than to be, put In a shoulder-to-shoulder position with women, then we'd better quit altogether!" And what the ladies replied to that***Sayl Late reports state that the debate is still going strong throughout this broad land of ours. Neither side so far is gaining much ground but there I* writing on the wall which predict* the final outcome. Nor does It make them any happier to remember Just what happened to the school teaching business after the women folks got their fingers into the pie a few decades ago. As a bit of encouragement however to those masculine pessimists who feel that all is lost ln the wilderness, a word of cheer may be offered. In reality the church as a whole Is In very little danger of a wholesale feminine invasion. There are actually very few women who yearn to be bishops, pastors and elders. All they are after ls simply, to be told they may If they want to. After they've been given the new toy for which they've been crying, they'll play with it for a little while and then forget all about lt. be- cause***well as men ought to know by this time, that's Just the way women are!

Ss Yukon Press Association has been at work on for three or four years materialized at Chilliwack this week when the local merchants of that progressive community, in co-operation with certain manufactcrers of B.C. Products put on an exhibit of these products for thc week of April 14 to 19th and invited the petople of that district to Join with an exhibit of the Chilliwack district products. The Chilliwack Progress, representing the press association ln that particular section, made a special 2-page spread of mass-publicity for local dea- ers and manufacturers whose products are .sold In that community. , April 15 ls the big .day of the exhibition, when Field Secretary Champion, of the B. C. Products Bureau will speak on the development of these Industries and what this development means ln adding to the general prosperity of the province, particularly in building up a B.C. payroll, and the utilization of raw materials --ound here. Thii Chilliwack affair Is the first of a series of exhibits to be given u the province during the summer, nl interior central points. Thc schedule of these exhibits has not been prepared, but will be made known ln ample time prior to the date set for this district. , The press of the province ls working in co-operation with the Manufacturers' Association and the B. C. Products Bureau, with the object of selling to the people of the province the B. O. Products Idea. It to argued that these products being equal ln quality and price with anything on the market, should be given the preference since these industries are established ln the province and contribute to its development, making payrolls for thousands of B. C. men and women, home-builders all. An important feature of this cooperative publicity campaign ls Unking up of local dealers in all Interior towns with the manufacturers of the province and through these local dealers linking the local community with the general development and prosperity of the province. It seems to be, and lr, basic development. It adds to the prosperity of each by contributing to the prosperity of all, and brings every town and every citizen within the scope of the general movement.

FOR YOUR MONEY CALL AND SKI US BEFORE PURCHASING JOHN DONALDSON GENERAL MERCHANT GRAND FORKS Transf ransrer While her builder* maintain secrecy as to her engines, the new Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Britain" is hailed by newspapers in the Old Country as a challenger in the Atlantic speed race. The London Daily Chronicle declares that "she will prove a formidable rival of the Bremen, and in any ease will set up a new Atlantic speed record, for the {ourney from Southampton to Quebec will be made n five days or less." So far the Canadian Pacific has made no claims for the new liner beyond the statement that she will bring Canada one and a half days nearer to England and will be the most luxurious liner on the seven seas. Every first class cabin is to be an outside room with natural light and air and the room without bath attached will be unusual. Other ways in which the $15,000,000 the new ship is costing will be spent ' includes two stages fully equipped for theatrical performances, Turkish baths, swimming pool, Bquaah racket court (the first on an ocean liner), fu.l size tennis court on sport* deck, beauty parlour*, violet ray installations and a eerie* of public rooms designed and decorated by prominent member* of the Royal Academy. Now building in Scotland, the Empress of Britain will enter service early in 1931. The sixteenth vessel of a building programme totalling 215,000 ton* launched in a three year period, the Empress of Britain is designed to accommodate 1,100 passengers in First, Tourist Third and Third classes. A comparison of her tonnage of 40,000 with the 20,000 gross registered tonnage of the "Duchess" class which accommodates 1,600 passengsrs, indicates the lengths to which the company has gone to make spaciousness an outstanding feature of the accommodation. ' ' In addition to her position as Speed Queen of th* St. Lawrence route to and from Europe, the Empress of Britain will have the distinction of being the largest liner making round the world cruises, achieving thla by the comfortable margin of 8,000 tons.
