"The country has been practically swept clear of good dogs as far west as Winnipeg. Prices of $100 to $200 have been peid for a single dog, and $500 for a four-dog team is by no means an extravagant price. The country is hungry for a new gold camp, and the Red Lake excitement will be the means of opening up || hundreds of square miles of country that otherwise might have lain dor- il | mant for years.

Demand for Canadian potatoes in ithe fact that British Columbia is establishing a reputation As a grow- er of superior tubers. The Maritime provinces, too, with the smallest crop on record, got last year nearly double the sum received in 1924. Like British Columbia, they classed and packed their product properly and had no difficulty in getting the prices they demanded. "The Ontario farmer does not at- tempt to market potatoes co-opera- tively," admitted a local dealer, "with the result that shipments are not dependable for quality and do not bring the best price." British Colpmbia boasts that it is capable of producing more potatoes to the acre than any other province in Canada or any state of the Union. A total of 17,781 acres were planted 1925, as compared with 16,339 acres iin 1924. The average price in 1923 was $1.23 per bushel, and in 1925 it was $1.75, returning $3,260,000. | The Prince's Body Guard | a There oo could be no more Striking demonstration of the firm hold which Scouting has taken among boys of every race, country, color and creed throughout the wide world than the recent tour of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales.

EVANGELISTIC SERVICES, Discourse by Evangelist Chapman in Alfred Street Church. "But leaving the subject of the sanctuary and its cleansing, let us trace briefly the 2,300 days. This period, it may be observed, forms the . | connecting link between the shadow and the substance, between the typi- cal sanctuary on earth, and the true sanctuary in heaven," sald Evangel- ist Chapm his lecture last night at the New Church on Alfred street, taking for his text the 8th and 9th chapters of Daniel. "Daniel was told that the begin- ning of this 2,300-day period would be when the commandment was giv- {en by Artaxerxes to restore and build stracting 457 B.C. from 2,300 gives us 1,843 full years of 1844, The judgment took place in 1844, nearly a hundred years ago.'
