W. Just, Who Recently Travelled Over Canada in Company With J. M. Mowat. Of late years the Colonial Office has e excellent policy of mak- their officials familiar with the seas Dominions at first hand. Mr. H W. Just, of the Dominions branch of the Colonial Office, and the permanent secretary of the Imperial Conference, has just returned to his official duties after a tour. of eight weeks in Canada. "Tt was not my first experies of the Dgminions." said Mr. Just] "for Mr. Chamberlain took me out with him on his tour in South Africa. My recent 'journey in Canada srose from the Conference of 1907, when several members gave ex- pression to the view that it would be an advantage af members of the Col. onial Office, ially those in the Dominions Dept ment, had personal acquaintance of t"e countries with which they had business dealings. It was with this idea in view that | went to Canada, and 1 do not wish to pose in any way as an expert oh Janadian business affairs. 1 have been simply a traveler, taking a traveler's. hasty view. | landed wt Quebee from the Empress of Britain, saw Montreal, stayed for 4 few days at the Government House at Ottawa, and then wernt straight across to Vancouver and British Columbia. On my way back East 1 dropped off at various places, such as the Okanagan Valley, for the frit farming, and the Arrow Lake wo days TI spent at Banff. a place of great resort for Canadians in the summer. One great attraction there is the National Park, where herds of moose and a few of the remaining buffaloes .are kept. Bir Wilfrid Laurier was there at the time, and I had a long conversation with him. but the matter was entirely confidential Canada made a great impression on me. It iz a land of immense possi. bilities which few of us in this country are able to realizé without | actually !visiting there. On every { hakd 1 saw evidence that the Cana. dians were taking full advantage of the enormous possibilities of their } counts in wheat growing, mining, for fruit farming. But the land as compared with the people is out of all proportion. The country is ery. a larger population it must have if its development is to proceed on the fullest lines. This applies more par- ticularly in Western Canada and iritish Columbia. In those parts of the country the skilled agricultural laborer and the farmer are wanted, men who have an expert knowledse of land 'and are able to put it to good use. Much of the land in favorable situations, that is, in near proximity to the railway line, is taken up, but as the railway system extends this difficulty will be met." Mr. Just's attention was called. to the recent importation of Canadian peaches into England. "This is al. most what I expected. The: trom Ontario, I believe, but further west, British Columbia, for Finstance, are growing fine fruit. The question is: can you get fruit from those far-away places into the English market? To the original cost has to be added the cost of freight over many thousands of miles of land and sea. At nt time Britich Columbia is supplying the country as far éast as Winni with fruit, but the British Columbians want to do greater things and extend the sphere of* their operations. In respect of fruit the people of Winnipeg are fortunately situated. A great deal of the early fruit from California is sent to that city, and later in the year they reap the advantage of the Brit. Mr. Just caine istricts eries of British Columbia would net allaw him to pass judgment on the suggestion of Bir George Doughty, M.P., for introducing a race of white fishermen on the coast. Bui he point. od out that the fishing industry of that provinces is largely in the hand; of the colored races. Railway develop. ment had inferested him greatly, especially the construction of the Hudson Bay Railway, the first sod of which has already heen cut. She Mistook Him. W. C. Wilkinson, who for thiriy. 5X year: has been secretary of To- rontd's Board of Educatiomy prides himself on his youthful snirit aod en his activenoss getting about, in spite of the fact that it was not yes. terday that his hair turned grey. So, it's with an appreefation of the fnei- dent being ar his expense that he tells of what happened to him in Ire land a couple of years ago. Mr. Willkynson was ome of » party of about sixty on a trip through the Od Land. In a hotel at which they stayed in Killarney, the maid said to hig one merning, your wife sleep Tast night?" "I don't know," was the Answer "Tou don't know?" said the maid, 'My wife is about three thousand siiles away," said Mr, Wilkinson, Th+ maid looked at him from head io foot 'and them said, "Oh, I beg your Na took you for another ttle ould maha."

Wai fwned an - Old Rhyme Inte » Joke on Late R. Walker. In ap artic which recently appear- ed in an English - -periodiont_ou an vient epitaphs one~wae. 9° oun that must have ipspired a io attracted some atlention in a quarter of a century ago. The € taph in question is described by English writer as "a delicious blend: ing of the temporal and spiritual, and one which 'shows that in the olden times the spirit of successful advertis- ing was already to be found in ile } business whrid." The verse ran: Beneath this stone, in hope of Ziog, Doth lie the landlord of the Lion, His son keeps on the business still, Resigned unto the heavealy will. Some anonymous joker who lived in Toronto in the eighties was evident: ly familiar with' this epitaph as the following facets show. One of the great merchants who helped to build up the eommercial prosperity of Toronto at the time it started to grow in real earnest was the late Robert Walker. The large emporium of R. Walker & Son stood on King street on the site now oovered by the King Edward Hotel and the Victoria street exten- sion. Those were the days of trade marks, and the title of the Walker establishment was An immense gilded lion was promi- nent on the front elevation of the store. Robert Walker was a promi. nent Methodist and foremost in all religious works. In course of tithe . he waz'called to his fathers, and short. ly after his funeral someone inscrib- ed oh the fence of the cemetery so close to his tomb that the allusion was apparent, the following verse: I am on my way to Zion, My sons are still at "The Golden Lion," Measuring goods and filling the till, Thus fulfilling their father's will. Oratorical Bulls. The Ottawa Free Press thinks fhat no bulls made nowadays compare to those of Sir Boyle Roche, but they had once in Qttawa an orator who closed an oration by quoting "the his- torie language of Lord Byron in Para. dise Last, 'A man's a man for a' that." Up at the Canadian Soo they have a close second named John Col- lins. He attended a pelitical recep- tion given to W. R. Smyth, now M.P. for Algoma, then just elected M.P.P. Collins, among other things, said: "There is an old Greek proverb, 'Vox populi, vox Dei," which being inter. | preted means that the Lord is well pleased wilh the way you voted around here." At another meeting which he addressed, he is alleged to have said: "I see many of you absent to-night that were not present Sher the last time I was here." W. Northrup, M.P., tells one that is enough for Mrs. Partington. pd had just returned from a trip through France and was describing the beau- ties and glories of that magical coun- try. "It was simply delightful," she said," "to hear the Phiaannts singing the mayonnaise." tive member wags ogee bois introduced to Sir Wilfrid I by a Liberal mem- ber, "Our friend here," said the Lib- oral member, "was once a Grit, but he fell from the error of his way. Apparently he had in mind two things, 'tell from grace" and "saw the error of his way," and he got them mixed. Not Puffed Up. What's in a name. Allen Bristol Aylesworth suddenly becomes Sit "Alan." Dan Mann becomes Sir "Donald.". What magic is there in the touch on the right shoulder of the royal sword, which changes tha com- monpiace nomenclature into things of oral beauty? There is no doubt that Dan will still be Dan to the average man, no matter what his official name may be in the table of precedence. And as for Sir Alan, he will continne to be {amiiiarly known about the Par. liament Buildings as "old A.B." the man who spends hour after hour each week in his little private office study- ing the reports of judges concerning convicted prisoners, weighing évery tithe of evidence to see if by chance justice cin be tempered with mercy. He has a great contempt of the little, petty things of politics. And that new bowler hat he bought for his Washing- tom trip i not a whit larger in size for "Sir Alan" than it was for Hoa. Allen B.
