Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10th, 1927 H ere aiv ere During 1926, the Canada Colonization Association settled 734 families on 168,094 acres in Western Canada, 59,678 acres of which were in the province of Manitoba. Plans have been completed for the World's Poultry Congress, to be held hi Ottawa from July 27tb to August 4th. More than thirty countries will be represented and the number of delegates is expected to reach 6,000. Shanghai is at the present time operating more trolly bosses, carrying more passengers per mile of route, and charging a lower fare in terms of gold wares, than any other system in the world. The champion Jersey cow of the world, an out and out British Columbia product, is to go on tour according to the directors of David Spencer Limited of Vancouver, who stated the champion would arrive at the Canadian Pacific Express yards shortly Reports indicate that the many dairy companies in Nova Scotia have had a most successful year. One company reports that they manufactured well over 100,000 pounds more butter than in 1925. This increased production was valued at over $50,000. Developments in bacon-hog raising in Nova Scotia and particularly in the Annapolis Valley as a by-product of the dairy industry, is already an assured success. In 1926, 21" swine clubs were functioning successfully in the Province. Of these eight operated in the Dominion Atlantic Railway territory. The first fish net factory to operate in Canada is being started here by the Canadian Pish Net Co., Ltd., financed by Canadian capital and employing Canadian labor. Hitherto the nets used by Canadian fishermen have been imported from Europe and the United States, which has at times entailed heavy losses owing to late deliveries. Grain left Montreal for seventeen different countries in the 1926 season. Great Britain imported to the heaviest extent, followed in order by Holland, Germany, Belgium, Italy, France, Norway, Greece, Ireland, Portugal and South Africa. Great Britain 'took 39,291,763 bushels or 31 per cent, of the total exports from the Port, being also the heaviest purchaser of oats. Norway and Holland were the two largest buyers of rye. The grain harvest of 1926 has left more money in the country than the greater harvest and somewhat higher prices of 1925, according to N. M. Paterson, president of the Paterson Steamship Company, and owner of a hundred country elevators in the West, with one other city elevator now being built at a contract cost of $800,000 at Fort William, Mr. Paterson, who was interviewed at the Windsor Hotel in Montreal recently, having arrived from Winnipeg, is travelling with bis father and mother, wife, six children and two nurses, by Canadian Pacific route, land and steamship, to England with a view to staying at Bournemouth for the next three months. Steamship companies brought approximately 165,000 passengers to the Dominion in 1926, an increase of nearly 48,000 over the previous years. Third class passengers, the • majority of whom were immigrants or new settlers, accounted for over 123,000. An outstanding feature of travel has been the development of tourist third class accommodation. > Approximately 7,100 passengers of this kind were carried eastbound across the Atlantic from Canada and 8,050 transported westbound during 1926, making a grand total of this kind of travel of 15,750 <- th-. sear. The year 1926 was a banner year for the British Columbia coast steamship service of the Canadian Pacific Railway, according to Captain J. W. Troup, manager of that branch of the C.P.R. fleet. The "Princess Marguerite" and the "Princess Kathleen," in the triangular service, make a fine record and the Alaskan tourist business was For the first time in the history of Alberta, alfalfa seed is being shipped to Denmark. This is registered Grimm alfalfa grown by the Grimm Alfalfa Seed Growers' Association, at Brooks, which this year produced one-third of a million pounds of this seed. It appears that Danish growers have experimented with this seed in the past and have now placed an order for 50,000 pounds. VERNONVILLE February 8th, 1927 After the holiday season was over with, one might naturally expect some deminishing of social events in the rural districts, but so far, in this neighborhood at least, there doesn't appear to be much let up in these social affairs. Last week saw one continual round of parties, suppers, birthday celebrations, etc. We regret that time does not permit us to.mention all these several functions, but all were pleasant and enjoyable affairs and all contributed to the general joyment of the winter season in this coirimunity.

WHAT HOSPITALS HAVE DONE At the session of the Counties Council last week grants were made by the Council of $750 to each of the hospitals of these Counties at Cobourg, Port Hope and Bowmanville. These hospitals have a splendid record of service to the sick of the Counties. In 1926 535 patients were looked after at the Cobourg hospital, these including 52 births and 21 deaths, and a total days stay of 4654, at a cost of $16,926, of which patients paid $12,232.
