A private company, adequately financed, has been organized, and it is said that development operations will begin at once. White talc deposits are also found in association with the blue talc.

In order to establish a model settlement just outside Winnipeg, a party of Catholic colonists sailed on the Canadian Pacific liner "Mar-loch" for Saint John and reached Winnipeg in charge of Father Keir-dorf, of the German Catholic Immigration Association. The party consisted of about 30 families and came under the direction of the Canada Colonization Association. Included in the programme of new construction in the Manitoba district of the Canadian Pacific Railway is the building of new standard station houses to be located at Up-sala, Toulon, Petersfield, Kemnay, Alamedy, Pettapiece and Dominion City. New section houses will be built at sixteen points in the Manitoba district while a mechanically operated coaling plant with a capacity of 100 tons will be built at Poplar Point. Saint John Nelson Christananda, describing himself as a Christian Apostolic Preacher, and originating from Southern India, arrived in Canada recently on the Canadian Pacific liner "Montrose" from England. He is a "Sadhu" which translated signifies a Saint and is conducting a short mission of about two months in Canada. Mr. Christananda stated that he had been preaching through Europe and had visited about twenty countries on. that continent. His creed, he asserted, associated with all Christian churches without being bound down by any dogmas. He said he was welcomed by all religious organizations. A consignment of Cana'dian manufactured ice cream shipped from Saint John about the middle of last month featured the menu of a banquet tendered to over 400 British buyers by the Hon. P. C.

PEEBLES ESTATE rT"'he last link in the Canadian Pacific Telegraph system across the continent, to conform with the most advanced developments of telegraphic science, was completed recently, when a new telegraph repeater station was formally opened at White River, Ontario. The main switch, cutting the new up-to-date station into the circuit, was closed by Mrs. J. E. Depew, who had been closely connected with Canadian Pacific developments at White River since construction days. Many prominent officials of the Company were present at the official opening January 29, including: J. McMillan, general manager of Telegraphs, Montreal; H. J. Humphrey, general superintendent, North Bay, and D. H. Bowen, superintendent of Telegraphs, Sudbury. Through the installation of the new plant the efficiency of, overland facilities will be greatly in- creased owing to the fact that signals formerly carried direct from Sudbury to Port William, will now be strengthened and repeated at White River, the half-way point. It was pointed out to the press by Mr. McMillan that the overland service will be increased in speed and flexibility, thus affording additional service. The present approximate distance between stations of this nature operated by the Canadian Pacific is 300 miles. A few years ago distances between repeating stations were fully double the distance now accepted as the best practice. For example, Mr. McMillan pointed out, the Canadian Pacific overland wires were stretched from Montreal to Vancouver with the first repeater station at Fort William, a distance from Montreal of about 1,000 miles. Since the opening of the service the first station of this nature was built at Sudbury. The decision to further cut down the distance to Fort William resulted in the construction of the new station here. Through the introduction of automatic printers and the possibilities of still greater advances in the science of telegraphy, H waa found necessary to establish the new station. Starting from Sudbury, the Canadian Pacific now have repeater stations at White River, F«rt William, Winnipeg, Moose Jaw, Calgary, Revelstoke and Vancouver, on the overland trunk lines. In telegraph service across the continent the Canadian Pacific have installed all-copper wires, and the best equipment obtainable is provided in all their repeater stations from East to West, making the service fast and reliable. The station here comes under the superintendency of D. E. Bowen, the chief in charge of the station will be C. W. McMillan, with repeatei chiefs G. B. Bowen, and S. Faney.
