BJ&tm* Mrs. James Maxwell left on' Tuesday for Vancouver, where she -will make quite an extended visit with her son, Clarence, who is now residing permanently in that city. J. M. and Gerald Craigie, Dolf Weir ahd Ray McKelvey spent the last three days of last week on a deer hunting expedition up Corn Creek, arriving back on Sunday without even seeing one of these animals.

According to a return brought down in the legislature at Victoria one day last week it is shown that the new high level bridge - across the Goat which-wan built about four years ago, cost almost $25,000 and will carry a load of 15 tons dead weight. Denzil Maxwell was. home from Cranbrook over the week end trying out the deer bunting in the Arrow Creeks section, but without success. The Palmer-Putnam Staples portable sawmill syndicate are busy with the erection of stables and buildings at their mill site near Goat River crossing, and expect to be erecting the sawmill plant before the end of next week. The R. Dodds household has heen well (supplied with venison this year. About two weeks ago Jim got one at Arrow Creek. Coming home from work on Satin-day Jack bagged another near the L. Littlejohn ranch, and on Tuesday Bob, jr., accounted for a third carcass while out with the gun along the Goat. Tin--" new C.P.R. depot was nuspicl- ciously house warmed on Friday night when Mr. and Mrs. Bundy were at home to members of Creston Masonic Lodge for the December social fixture. The waiting room was just right size for seven ttrbles at cards, the prize winners being Mrs. G. A. Hunt of Kitchener and J rimes Compton. The hostess was assisted by Mrs.. Long, while the other members of the at home* consmSttee wore W. It. Long and Hilton Young. The lodge membership includes seueral car owners so there was no trouble getting the town guests from and hank to Creaton, and so much enjoyed was the fraternal and informal hospitality dteponfed that it is more than likely a return visit will bo mado to the Hlwatty home bo'/oro the social season closes .n May. - A. P. Lye was here from Klockmann on a visit to his family the first few days of December, and was busy firing things/up around .the ranch for winter. 'Wilfred and Harold Langston left on Tuesday of last' week for the Continental mine after an extended stay at their ranches here. W. Petrie and C- Williams have obtained a pole skidding contract in the timber near the Helme ranch and will commence Operations shortly. H. P. Vernon was a visitor in Spokane a few 4lays last week returning on the 1st of December. - T. Weaver is down from Kleekman and will probably be remaining until after the Christmas and New Year holidays. A very successful dance was staged in the schoolhouse oh,Saturday night, December 1st, in aid pf the children's Christmas tree fund. Music was provided by the pionola, accompanied by Miss Brander on the violin, and at 11 p.m. a tasty supper was provided by the ladies.

Board of Trade Mrs. Sid McCabe is a visitor Cranbrook friends this week. with Mr. and Mrs. O. SVasssen of Kitchener, oldtime residents of Sirdar, passed through here on Saturday, on a trip to coast points. B <& B foreman Sid McCabe is back at work again after being off work, almost a week with a very- severe cold. Although auto tourist traffic . is at an end it would be well if road boss Ollie Harris and crew were put to work on the Sirdar Kuskanook road. There is some repair work urgently needed that it would be well tn attend to now rather-than let it wait until spring. Miss Bonner of Rochester, Minn., is a visitor at Kuskanook at present with Mrs. Jones. She is on the -nursing staff of the well-known Mayo Brcthere hospital and is much taken with the December climate paevaiting in this section. Sirdar ladies turned out in good numbers for the Presbyterian bazaar at Creston on Saturday afternoon. Amongst those going to the metropolis were McCabe, Bysouth, Cameron, "Whiteside, and Heap, whose purchases certainly helped swell the days receipts in all departments. A variety of matters occupied the attention of members of Creston Board of Trade who were in attendance at The December meeting on Monday night, with President Bennett presiding. Fire protection was one of the foremost subjects discussed; Major Mallandaine reporting fully on the improved equipment in tiie way of hydrants that the waterworks company nave just installed, as well as additional reservoirs. Tests of the hydrants. show a splendid pressure, and to complete the^good work it Is sow necessary to secure a considerable supply of hose as well as erect a house in which, to store same on the upper side of^the track. For the time bating a borne constructed reel wiU "have to answer the purpose. Messrs. W. H. Crawford, Geo. Johnson, 13. C. Gibbs, S. A. Speers and Major Mallandaine were named the fire committee and given full power to go ahead and secure all possible equipment and make arrangements for organizing a fire brigade. Property owners interested petitioned the board to use its influence to secure the building of.a road that would serve the Quaife place. that at present has no highway leading to it, tenants of which -are dependent on the good nature of the neighbors in getting in Mesdames North, Dennes, and out. The ptltting in of the road Lye, Douglas McGee, George Mitchell, Agnes Sinclair, Frank Yes-bury. - Wallace Sinclair, fi^F.-Whitesides, from Cranbrook, was here for the week-enk,: attending the golden wedding celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Simibter on Saturday night.

' John Rhodes, who has been working at Fernie fbr some time past, arrived home at the end of the week. John Johnson, who left late in the spring for Vancouver, arrived back on Tuesday, after a visit with his daughter and wife at Bashaw. Good road** making is through for 1023. The bard Burface highway is completed from the Constable ranch to just about opposite the Compton residence. An early start will be made in the spring to connect' the good roadway up with Oreston. The Ash-Webster Wood wood sawing equipment is busy in this section putting up a year's fuel supply for several of the ranchers. There was a (line turnout of those interested in the Beorganizatian of the Social club for the winter at the Todd ranch on Friday night, and the following are the officers elected for thc year: President, Frank Martin; secretary-treasure������, Hector Stewart; executive, Mra. Robert Stewart, Mrs. J. W. Parkin, Bob Miller, Wilt Vaness, Jack Miller. The men members will pay a membership fee of 25 cents, and the next meeting will be tonight, after which there will be a recess until after the holiday season. There wer#������ a few dance numbers at tho Friday night gathering for which the music was supplied by Hector and Gladys Stewart and Bob Mat shall on the accorde on. would also provide & shorter route to town for a couple of the other property owners.

Alter a careful survey of tlie jam. factory situation the committee coin- posed of C. F. Hayes, 8. A. Speers and C. W. Allan reported that in tho present unsatisfactory shape tbe canning industry finds itself it would be impossible to interest outside capital in such a plant at Creston, for next year at any rate. The factory at Nelson, however, is likely to bein shape to take care of the surplus soft fruits and growers who make contracts early in the season should have no trouble in this regard. A pleasing feature to the month's correspondence was a cheque for 86 from Const. J. S. Clark, until recently on the R.C.M.P. force at Creston, who sends it along as his contribution toward liquidating the debt on the soldiers' memorial.

I exclaimed impusively when he told us his price. "My dear Mrs. Alywin," was the sober reply. "There have been days in the past three years when I would have given it gladly in return lor a one- way ticket to "Liverpool, and no questions asked:" Murray had been busy Avith pencil and paper, and now he. looked up. "The price is low, certainly," he , said, "but, as you say, there Is no ; great demand for farms of that sort and I am not sure that at the present time you might expect to do better. You are six miles from the railway, you say, what sort of roads are there?" "The roads," Mr. Herrington replied, "are merely bush trails, not at all bad in the summer, but likely to drift lull of snow in the Avinter except where the hauling of cordAA^ood keeps them op em The municipality has only recently been organized, from noAA" on I presume there will be some road work done." "You did not mention church or school in your advertisement," Murray went on. "Tliere is a gooij* school in the village, but none nearer," AAras the answer. "As 3'et we do not need one, most of the settlers are single men and the children in the few families are all small." "That AA^ould not matter," I said, "ihe twins will not be ready for school for two years, and even then I could teach them myself if It AA-ere neces- I sary."

"You've got me there." replied Mr. Herrington cheerfully". "Awfully sorry I can't .give you the e-\act measurements, but I should"say it is almost as big as this, as the rooms are quite i a good size. It is well built of logs, j and plastered, and it i.s yery warm. j There is a living-room with a bedroom J off one end, and another large room j that I use for storage purposes. Then I have a good log stable, with an open shed for machinery. Did I say that a team of horses, a AA-agon, a mower and a pIoav Avent with the place? /Down here by the creek," as he took some photographs out of his pocket-book, "there is a spring that is open all Avin- ter." I. took the pictures that he handed to me, looked at them- carefully and then passed them on to Murray. The house reminded me of the little old places one sees on the rh-er road to Selkirk, and the tiny creek in front and. a line grove of evergreens in the background gave it quite a picturesque setting. In fact, I still sus-. pect that it wtas. for the sake of the landscape that Mr. Herrington filed on that particular homestead. "We approach the residence from the rear, you will notice," Mr. Herrington explained. "Some day- someone will build a rustic bridge OArer the creek just there,, but as yet there is no need for it." "It is an awfully, pretty place, Murray," 1 said meekly. "Yes," was the surprisingly decided answer. "I think I shall go out with you on Friday, Mr. Herrington, and look over the ground for myself. If the place looks as well as it dounds I think we shall be able to make a deal." CHAPTER TEN ".- nd ,.-,;���*. ; '(di |��;jii "r-i i: tri'.

My anticipations were not all pleasant, I must confess. City bred as I AA'as, and deep-rooted by nature, I knew that so complete a change of enA'ironnien.t Avould demand an adaptability that I was not sure I possessed. In my early girlhood I had once suffered a violent attack of homesickness and the experience had left its mark. I am glad I had those four days in which to disguss the situation with myself, for I knew that^I must not let Murray suspect that I was anything but enthusiastic. The feeling that,. In one sense, he was a failure as the head of a family was bitter enough to him without my adding to it by the admission of my misgiA'Ings. "You can stand anything for two or three years, Margaret Anne," I told myself. "You will have Murray and the children, and unless you are prepared to disgrace the family potash kettle you had better buck up." Then I would bring all raj" carefully cultivated imagination into play and, aided by Mr. Harrington's photographs, Avould picture Murray strong and Avell once more, the children sturdier than ever, and myself the jnis- tress of ti charming shooting-lodge sort of home dramatized out of Mr. Herrlngton's three-roomed log house. : I am not sure that.

"What are the horses' names?" Rupert would ask. "Bui haven't they got any names?" he would Insist when. I confessed iny ignorance. "I suppose Mr. Herrington named them," I replied. "But," with a sudden inspiration, "you may name them. o\rer again, if you like." "Like Adam in the Garden of Eden!" chanted "Rupert joyously. ""Nicolas, I am going to name our horses. I'll be Adam and you can be Eve and look after Cain-an'-Abel." "I'm going to help Mother, and perhaps I'll name the chickens," returned Nicolas with dignity.

FRIDAY, DEC. 14 Imperial Bank Adds to Reserve Closes Year in Strong Liquid Position���������Highjy Favorable Report The favorable showing of the Imperial Bank of Candada in its financial report for the fiscal year end ing October 31 last will be gratifying to shareholders and the public alike. This institution lias maintained its position in the face of an external situation that on a number of occasions during the period was distinctly disquieting. Furthermore it has improved its liquid standing, made profits well up to the usual standards, and well ia excess of dividend requirements. Dividends have been maintained at the usual rate ef 12 per cent plus a bonus of one per cent and substantial additions have been made to the several reserve accounts of the bank in addition to making careful provision for all bad and doubtful debts. The noteworty feature of the re port is undoubtedly tbe very splendid liquid position revealed. Immediately available assets, consisting of cash, government and municipal bonds, call and. municipal loans, etc, stand at $55,785,358 as compared with $53,520,449 a year ago. These assets are equivalent to 54 per cent, of the bank's total liabilities to the public aud over 26 per cent consist of cash assets. Investments in Dominion and Provincial Government. Municipal and other gilt-edged securities have been increased from $13,237,812^0; $17,134,575. Other items, susceptible to external influences, show but a minor reflection of the unsettled banking situation. Total deposits are but slightly reduced, this item standing at $89,442,750 compared with $91,106,971 a year ago Current loans too are lower at $55,643,946 against $58,720,099. Notes in circulation on the other hand show a slight increase at $10,878,235 compared with $10,577,295. Profits for this year after deducting charges of management and other items including lull provision for bad and doubtful debts total $1,141,600; to this total is added the sum of $338,801, representing surplus from realization of real estate which with the balance of $1,006,931 carried forward from previous years brings the total up to |2,487.333. and after charging up to this sum dividends at the usual rate of 12 per cent per annfj um plus bonus of 1% and'aftefr applying the sum of $100,000. to the reserve for Bank Premises, $250,000 to Contingent Reserve and $151,000 in payment of Government taxes, the balance carried forward at credit of profit and loss account amounts to $1,033,833.

The Directors' Report and Statement of Affairs of the Bank for the year ending 31st of October, 1923, were presented as follows: THE REPORT The Directors have pleasure in presenting to the Shareholders the Forty-ninth Annual Eeport and Balance Sheet of the Affairs of the Bank as on 31st Octot>er, 1923, together with Statement of Profit and Loss Account for the year ended on that date. The balance at credit of Profit and Loss Account brought forward from last year. was *......* $1,006,931.33 The net profits for the year ended 31st-October, 1923, after deducting charges of management, Auditors' Fees and interest due- depositors, and after making provision for bad and doubtful debts and for rebate on bills under discount .- 1,141,600.40 To which has been added surplus from realization of real estate 338,801.47 Making a total at credit of Profit and Loss Account of .*._ This amount has been apportioned as follows;��������� ���������" Dividends at the rate of 12% per annum Bonus of 1% for the year ." ....-��������� Annual Contributions to Officers' and Employees" Pension and Guarantee Funds -.

The following branches and sub- branches which had proved unprofitable have been closed;���������Glen Morris, Hilton Beach, Smooth Bock Falls, Tottenham and Waldemar, all in the Province of Ontario; Harding, Manitoba; Foam Lake and Krydor,. Saskatchewan; Dorenlee, Greencourt, Lousana, Peace River, Spirit River and Whitecpurt in the Province of Alberta. Tour Directors regret that on aecount of the state of his health, Dr. Merritt is at present unable to attend to the active duties attaching to the Vice-Presidency. The Board has therefore deemed it advisable to appoint an additional Vice-President, and Sir James Woods has kindly consented to serve in that capacity. During the year the decennial revision of the Bank Act was undertaker by Parliament and a number of important changes designed primarily to protect alike the interests of Shareholders and Depositors have been made in the Act. All bandies and the various Departments of the Head Office haye been carefully inspected in accordance with the Bank's invariable custom. The Auditors appointed by yoa at the last meeting have also made their examinations as required by the Bank Act and their report and certificate is attached to the Balance Sheet. Owing to changes in the Act necessitating the appointment of .members ^of separate. firms and prohibiting .the appointment of an Auditor who may undertake any other work, on behalf of tha Bank', Messrs. Olarkson and Dilworth have intimated their intention not to seek re-elction. It therefore becomes necessary for you to appoint others. The Directors have again pleasure in bearing testimony to the care and zeal with, whieh the various officers of the Bank have discharged their respective duties during the past year. All of which is respectfully submitted. PELEG HOWLAND, y- President. TiTABTTiTTTES Notes of the Bank in circulation.

No one was injured. According to a dispatch received at Saskatoon, the machine, piloted by! Flying Officer Harrop, accompanied by j Sergt. Livingstone and Airman Crossy, v.-as making a fast landing on glassy ���������water. The surface was deceptive -..mil the boat hit hard, striking sev eral times in a succession, of high bumps. Owing to tlie proximity of "buildings on shore, the boat was unable to overshoot. The alternatives were to crash into a motor boat loaded with women or to attempt a swing up the Pas River. The pilot chose the latter course, sinking one gasoline boat, wrecking another and demolishing a canoe. The collisions swung the nose of the boat around preventing it 'bumping into the shore. The machine, an HS2 L Curtiss, had made S-t successful flights this season. France Has Many Unseaworthy Ships Men Refuse to Sail On Freighters ������������������*.��������� With Bad Reputation French freighters of a certain type have earned such a bad reputation j among seafaring men that today sailors are refusing to go to sea on them, while naval draughtsmen declare they should be taken out of service altogether.. ���������-,. Twelve such vessels were built by the government during the Avar. Their holds are clear, with no bulkheads, which permits the sudden shifting of cargo, and their water ballast tanks have a trick of filling unexpectedly. Five of them already have turned over. The last was the Emile Durant, which rolled over without warning and drowned 19* members of the crew. Nevertheless, some sailors are occasionally found, from time to time, who will take a chance, so several the craft ave still at sea. Of Pine Air Is Good For Catarrh.

Outlook For World Wheat Supplies Buying Power of Europe to be Factor In Disposal of Surplus The crops in Western Europe are considerably in excess of last year's and about equal to those of the pro- war period, says the National Bank of Commerce .in New York. Continuing, in the October issue of Commerce Monthly, it states that: "The partial restoration of agriculture in Russia and expectation of a record wheat crop in Canada, together with an assured crop and restricted purchasing power in Western Europe, have combined to provide a supply of wheat for the 1923-24 harvest year which promises to be somewhat heavier in relation to prospective demand than the crops of the two preceding years. Any estimate of the net world surplus of wheat must be a rough guess at best, for it is subject to many and conflicting influences. Some of the indicated surplus for the current year would be absorbed if European purchasing power approximated prewar standards. Per capita consumption in Europe is undoubtedly low and its restoration will be a slow process. On the other hand a continued low price of wheat should enable consumers to purchase considerably larger quantities for the same outlay of money than at any time since the- war began." On a conservative estimate, total world imports are likely to range between 500 and C00 million bushels. Continuing the bank says: "Stocks are too small in Europe, a fact which accentuates the effect of a large world carry-over upon the market. Prior to the war European importing countries were accustomed to buy heavily just after harvest, and any surplus there was at the end of the year was widely disseminated, much of it in hands close to the ultimate consumer. At present, financial conditions and the -fluctuations of exchange have forced these countries to purchase largely on a hand-to-mouth basis, thus leaving a larger proportion of the surplus in exporting countries where its existence and amount can bc more readily determined." fgter& msP. 6*1 PLE Xour injury may be just a simple scratch,a cut,bruise, bum or scald; but it needs prompt treatment with zam-bulc.

Shakespeare, the death of Nelson, Ayaterloo, the outbreak of the Great War. ��������� Next year, 11)2*1, will go down through history as Empire Ye^ir. A strange, unparalleled thing is our. Empire -which came into existence almost as an accident, which is held together by no written code, but bj' the silken thread of loyalty to the Crown and the affection of brothers scattered throughout the world. I am old enough to remember when home-staying Britons regarded what were called the Colonies as something of a nuisance and with no regret at the prespect.... of the , time ..when they would break st-way from the old house and fend .for themselves; but I am proud to have lived to see them advance from being the children o������ "Britain-to lusty, adventurous, progressive grown- up'sons, independent Commonwealths, Dominions, Union, co-equals with ourselves in the Empire. Rome, with all its pomp, had not a tithe to show compared with the wonders of the British Empire. _, Next ;;year 1 we*, will celebrate the unity, ihe solidarity oi! the Empire. Staid, slow-moving, but shrewd John Bull is preparing to give greeting to the strong limbed men of Canada, the sturdy sunburnt happy Australians, the slim energetic and experimental "New Zealanders, the men who arc- making South Africa prosperous, the men of the Crown Colonies and the innumerable possesi sous scattered throughout the 'seven seas, the sons of gorgeous India, men of many races and religions, but living in freedom under,* the Union Jack. .- At Wembley, within the great heartthrob of our race called London, thousands of men are toiling day and night erecting a y huge caravanserie where not only will be,exhibited the best the Empire has to show, but where all the Briton, far-separated, making ne-vv lands fruitful, will meet, many of them -for the first time, aitid'look"into each others eyes and know that however distant they may live from each other, they are brothers. We -want to see these men and women of our own blood whether they come from the great cities like Montreal and Sydney, from the prairies or the back-blocks, from, our dependencies in tho east or the islands of the Pacific; and we want them to see us. If there be a lingering sentiment amongst our oversea brethren, as I sometimes'* believo there i.s���������that there is any superciliousness on the part ol' the Englishmen lo those, who live in* Canada, Australasia or elsewhere, we are going to show thorn how Wrong they" are. We havo the reputation ot being generous in hospitality to the -stranger without our . gates. How then shall wc treat our own brothers? Tliere is plenty of evidence that next year London will 1 surpass Itslf in fhe exuberance oC its '.'. hospitality. .;������������������'" "How little, they know of England who only England know," is a line that will bo quoted at many a banquet. It is true. Rut there Is a gathering '* wavo oC patriotism and an eagerness . to better und era land what the Domln.- ,;' Ions signify in the Empire, We will joyously extend our knowledge. Visitors will get acquainted with ench other. We will visit the groat halls at Wembley which will present a pun- .*' oraraa, a, pageant indeed of productivity. And all of us will fool a throb of 7 pride in the achievements of each '. other.

Revision of Express Rates on Vegetables ts Refused A judgment of the railway commission, just issued, denies the application of certain business firms in Medicine Hat and Calgary/Alberta, for a revision of express rates on vegetables moving east from these points, to accord on a-distance basis with rates on these commodities in force eastward from British Columbia points. The ���������** same judgment also denies the application to advance by one month the period of special commodity rates on vegetables from Vancouver to Winnipeg, which is now in force from Ma3T. 15 to November 30. ;; iPrairie Provinces Of Canada Supply HigkGrade Seed vVneat or Growers Of Southern Climes (By P. Stewart, Secretary Canadian Seed Growers' Association) G. V. Hawkes, Eiditor and Proprietor of The Express, Broadview, Sask. Productivity, purity and vitality are the essentials looked for in good seed. On account of Canada's northern latitude and rigorous climatic conditions combined with immense tracts o������ rich virgin soil, Canadian-grown seed of any given kind or variety when planted in a southern latitude is known to j ent* yield- a bigger crop of better quality ��������� ed f������1' than does seed of the same kind or variety produced in the southern latitude. Of recent years this phenomenon has been capitalized by potato growers in the iSouth Atlantic States. These growers usually obtain a large portion of their seed potatoes ylroro New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

But not until now has -Canadian pedigreed seed found its way in commercial Quantities to another contin- The S.S. Hesperia, which sail- r j ea ior Buenos Aires recently, carried . 500 bushels of registered Marquis wheat produced by a member of the Canadian Seed Growers' Association in Saskatchewan and exported from Montreal. This variety of wheat is Canadian- bred of imported parentage, the parents being Hard Red Calcutta from India and Ked Fife from Germany. The originator of Marquis,'Dr. Charles K. Saunders, first placed Marquis at the disposal of Canadian grain growers in 1907. Now 90 per cent, of the Canadian spring wheat crop is Marquis. Two years ago it was estimated that some 12,000,000 bushels of the United States spring wheat crop belonged to this variety. '" By the educational and control work of the Canadian Seed Growers* Association, extending back over a period of twenty years, th<| most promising strains of various kinds have been pedigreed and multiplied in their.purity.' Superiority of pure-bred seed ts. obtained and maintained by: 1. Approval and acceptance of varieties based on extensive plot tests by plant breeders at Government stations throughout the Dominion. Only those varieties of proven outstanding mei'it are accepted for registration. 2. Careful inspection and scoring of seed fields by trained inspectors. 3. Testing of seed from approved fields for pu'-tfty and germination by Dominion Seed Laboratories. - 4. Pinal inspection, grading, marking and sealing^'ofL seed a-at growers"' premises:* or''central cleaning plants. 5. Careful recording under registration numbers of all eligible seed stocks each year. Production of> registered seed for the season 1921-22 in the prairie provinces amounted to some 80,000 bushels. This amount is not nearly sufficient io meet the demand, and consequently provision is now being made for production of this class of seed in greater volume in order that not only may home requirements be'-flHed, but that the growing demand from foreign countries may be met lo_some Vxtent.

But tho Irophy is In itself! only a visible sign of what is at stake ' in this competition. Tho terms un-; der which it Js offered mean that each ; of the four western provinces has an ' opporluniiy now and every year, an j opportunity which was never before placed within such easy reach, to -carry off judging honors at the International livestock show, the premier 'exhibition in America, that held in Chicago in December. For whichever provincial team may win the trophy at Toronto will be given a trip to Chicago, all expense being provided for by tho donors of lhe trophy, where it may match its judgment with that of America's foremost experts in livestock, f. Tho primary object in the minds of tho donors of this splendid trophy, W. C, Macdonald Reg'cl., Inc., tobacco manufacturers ol" Montreal, is to stim-i ulate interest Jn. mixed farming and ! more particularly in livestock breed-j ing in the west. This Is a part of a policy Inld down by the rounder of W. C. Macdonald Reg'd.. Inc., tho late Sir William Macdonald who, many years "ago, recognized Ihe neorl for stub (117.1 ng J the west's annual Income, insuring It I against disaster which, must occur 1 from lime to timo where everything is staked on one orop, hy promoting nn internet In general farming, and hy bringing hack in a modified form nnd under better auspices, tho old slock raising practices for which tho west was once noted. The ]?.1n Sir William MaeiToittsltl labored untiringly with thin end in view and gni'o vast suiiih of monoy to tm- count gG tho promotion of mixed farming on a scientific basis in tho west. His successors, loyal to the traditions of thoir found cr who will always bo remembered as one of Canada's moat Konorous friends of Beientlfic and technical education, aro continuing thin In flic and the trophy 11 l������wt rated ahovo jh hut. ������i������i������ -oauiiiimo *tl tlie ir devotion mounted at the four cornel's of the base, and by the plates upon which will*be inscribed, from year to year, I the names of the winning teams. It is, however, one thing to offer a trophy j and another to place all competitors upon, an equal footing for it. This was recognized, so in addition to offering tho trophy W. C. Macdonald Reg'd., Inc.. are also providing funds wherewith to defray the travelling expenses of the r.ontesttng teams from their western homes to the'Royal Show at Toronto and back homo again. Then, that Western Canada may havo an opportunity to match hor best judges with those of tho United States, W. C. Macdonald Reg'd., Inc., will pay all expenses of the winning team to the show at Chicago in December. Thc entire scheme is one which affords Western Canada an excellent opportunity to win world repute for Its knowledge of livestock. In going to the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto the four tennis will be afforded what will bo in effect a post-graduate courso in stock judging,-* They will go to brush up thoir knowledge and to extend it, 1 "* . -i * - 11��������������������������������������������� and so the winning team will go to Chicago particularly well qualified to make a name for itself. In a certain sense the contest at Toronto will be a final tryout, a sort of dress rehearsal, and it may confidently be expected that under such conditions the winning team will do full justice to itself when it meets America's best in the Illinois city. Apart from the interest attached to the trophy by virtue of what its acquisition will represent, there is also the fact that it Js one of the handsomest bronze castings ever produced. It, was cast by Messrs. Henry Dirks & Sons, of Montreal, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver, at their Montreal foundry and is the final expression of an artistic conception handled by skilled arllzans. The magnificent Buffalo Bull is tho first one-piece casting of its sl/,o over produced in this country. It weighs in the neighborhood of eighty j pounds and is mounted upon a hand- j some hand-carved oak base. An on- ; graved plate identifies tho trophy, and ; the crests of tho four western prov- ��������� incos are delicately executed Jn en- [ am el upon h liver. j The trophy will he competed for nn- | nually.
