THE PORT OF MONTREAL The annual report of the Montreal Harbor Commissioners just made public, tells a story in which not only Montrealers but' all nadians can take pride. The highlights of this report are: . 1. For eight consecutive years the port of Montreal has shipped more grain overseas than any other ocean port in the world, 2. It is exporting annually 45,000,- 000 bushels more than New York, and over 125,000,000 bushels more than Philadelphia. 3. During the year 1928 the net registered tonnage of ocean vessels which traded to the harbor of Mon- treal was 500,000 tons greater than the tonnage of 1927, 4, The net registered tonnage of inland vessels during the same period increased by about 1,360,000 tons, The truth is that Montreal is not merely the second largest port. in North ' America; it is one of the greatest ports in the world, CANADIAN FRUIT CIRCLES Canadian fruit was exported to thirty different countries of the world last year, according to the annual report of the Canadian mine ister of agriculture, The list includes Great Britain, the United Statesy Scandinavia, New Zealand, Soutly Africa, Australia, Germany, Belgiumy France, Holland, Ceylon, the Baha mas, the Barbados, Bermuda, Chinag Egypt, Fiji, Finland, India, Italy, Japan, Hawaii the Philippines, etcg etc, Beckett's Landing to Ottawa. asphalt must drive carefully at culvert was). out.
