There are 1,259,987 tele phones in Canada, recently pub lished statistics disclose, allowing for a 'phone for every eight per sons. If all the conversations that took place during the past year were placed coJ to end they would be heard in Mars, for every citizen held on an average o f 221 conversations during 192S. Pre sumably this does not include w rong numbers. One of Montreal's first big bu/' dings that was demolished to make room for one o f the · latest sky scrapers downtown has appeared on an entirely new site, to the amazement of the citizens. So care fully was the building taken down that scarce a score of hew stones were required to com plete its re construction on its new lot. Up to December 31. 1928 the Canadian P acific had spent in co lonization and C r-r-iian develop ment work, land s«. ' ement, etc., nearly £85,000,900 o f its own money. Sir Charles Go; !on, G.B.E., president o f the Bank of Montreal, has been appointed to the board o f directors o f the Canadian Paci fic Railw ay to fill the vacancy caused by t'ae resignation o f Mr. J. K. L. Ross. Senator the Hon. F. L. Beiq :e, also, has been ap pointed a member o f the executive com m ittee of the board. A shipment of animals that w ill resemble the cargo o f livestock on Noah's Ark w ill take place shortly from Moose Jaw W ild Animal Park, when a number of buffalo, mule deer, elk and other animals w ill be sent to the Rocky Mountain NationaJ Park at Banff, Alberta. Everyone in Canada is worth $2,700 ! That at any rate, is what governm ent figures show, the ag gregate national wealth for 1928-- $26,691,482,000-- w orking out at that amount per person. Agriculture is the largest single item, and the western provinces come first in the highest per capita wealth of any part o f the Dominion. The Canadian Pacific Railway, in co-operation with the Manvtotn Department of Agriculture, Sead Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture ' " STi" ftre Agricultural College, has provided two good seed cars and a poultry car, which is travelling through that province. There are dem on strations of grasses, clover and corn, and poultry displays, while ic co m 7i".nying lecturers talk on the 'inpcrt-ince of good seed and forage crops and lecture on the rearing of cLickens, turkeys, etc. t MINAKI LODGE A Lu x u riou s Stop-Over F o r T ravellers W estern % (259) Although W H E N YOU REQUIRE iiiiiM inaiiiiiiiH U iiiiiiQ iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiD iiiiiiiiam iiiiim iiiiiiiiH iiiiiiiiiiiniiH iiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiio Lumber, Building Supplies* P lasters Cement, W i n d o w Sash, EtcI f you are buying rough or dressed L um ber, F loorin g, Siding, In ter ior T rim , W od or Felt Shingles, W o o d or Metal Lath, Sash, D o o rs, P laster material such as H ard P laster Paris.
