Latim- ler spoke about Oxdrift school, and thought that Col. Machin had misled them, when he promised large assistance in the building of | the new school several years ago. The trustees had built a school | 'Q | which was a credit to the place « on' the expectation of obtaining a large grant, instead of which all, they got was $150. The school is not yet finished, and the sec- tion has been handicapped since. Assessment $50,000, --tax rate 18} mills. - Mr. | | tioned that their section had been set back owing to the school be- ing burned down, and owing to the cost of labour, materials and equipment, the Insurance received had not been enough to replace the school, besides not giving any, assistance towards the new build-! \ing, Section had 40 lots on roll, of which 17 were military grants and only 13 resident ratepayers; he thought extra grant on salary and ; | extra tax on Military grants would ; help. Assessment $16,790; Tax rate 30 mills. Messrs. Jos. Tuckey and F. T. Brignall thought there was no prospect for some time to come of lowering their tax rate below 30 mills, unless larger grants were given. They needed a basement under the school, and desired to be able to run their own school, instead of letting the Municipality of Van Horne do it. The present act would not allow them to, as there were two miles in the muni- cipality. Mr. H. Skene, Cairnbrogie, thought that a larger grant on sal- on certain Military grants would just about put them right. Mr. H. Wright, Wabigoon, thought they were in fair shape. Assessment $42,000; tax rate 15 mills. They needed a new build- ing as they were using an old ® ported Mr. Crowley's statements. S$! Mr. Ritchie mentioned to those wards salaries would be made. i The amount would vary accord-| $50 to $150 per year. This would soon be in force, and would tend to help out the increased wages | paid to teachers Methodist Church. He made a 'suggestion for entrance exams. to be held about Easter instead of June, as the children were needed -at home more at the lattet time, ag had less time for study. r. W. White, Bedworth, ; ont there was tos big a dif-| ference in the assessment between wild 'and cultivated land, also thought, equalised assessment would fill the bill. All present were of the same opinion. Mr. McFarlane, Dinorwic, gave their assessment at $27,000, t rate 24 mills. They needed brary. It had been a hard pull for the section, but he thought they were getting on their feet, Extra grant would help. Mr. J. Olberg spoke on the hardships of Dyment. School had been open for ten months in five years; assessment $17,750, tax rate 30 mills; collectable taxes $511, collected $250.

Mr. Chisholm stated that an ap- propriation had been made whereby increased grants to- | | | ing to assessment and salary paid, but he thought it would be from The re- arra; "Thomas, Aubrey, men-' Los Angeles, Cal, produc 11} leased, throughout the Unite Lotions, Attention and Dryden is to cele- brate it 'with ; fitting honour 8.

Votes of thanks to Mr.Chisholm and Dr. Cody were pased unani- !mously, and the meeting was ad- journed. Everybody present was of the opinion that some. good {would result in the very pets fu- ture. Ei Rumania Would Like 'What is, in a few words, the ecano- mic strength of Rumania the gallant little Ah ym which 'was our 'staunch ally in the war, and to which, Canada has now granted a credit" of $25,000, 000? Rumania before the war con- tained 600,000 square miles, with a to- tal opulation practically equal to that of Canada. - With the additions made 'by the peace treaty, Rumania will pro- bably have from fift teen to eighteen mil- lion people. Mineral resources are im- ortant, though only partly worked. Fhe principal are rock salt, lignite and copper. The Rumanian oil fields i 101 gave 1,344,000 tons 'of. exude. 'The private capital invested in home industries was about $100,000,000. Of- ficial statistics cover fifty-two principal industries. Livestock consisted of horses, 824, 000; cattle, 2,660,000; sheep, 5,260,000 hogs,' 1,000,000, 'besides goats, mules and asses. There is valuable fishing in the Danube and the Black Sea. A goat : | part of the fisheries is owned by t State, These are 2,167 miles of ne ways. : Rumanian commerce trom 1896 to 1006 showed. an increase of 50 per cent, and in 1911 with a total of $250, 000,000 it was more than double the average for the years 18:'6-1900. The "| last returns of exports before the war lshowed a value of $26,000,000. The following figiires show the proportion of trade done by various Puropean countries with Rumania in 1911: gium, 23.12 per cent; Germany, 17. ih per cent; Austria, 15. 85 per cent; Uni- ted Kingdom, 11.82 per cent; 'France 6.68 per cent; Holland, 6.48 per cent; | Turkey, 6.80 per cent; other countries 12.06 per cent. Rumanian exports went chiefly- to the following countries: Belgium, Holland, Austria, United Kingdom, Italy, France. The Canadian Trade Commission has on file interesting data, the most recent compiled, of Rumanian trade. All the information received from the best that Rumannia is likely to be one of the most stable and prosperous of the countries of the Near East. The devastation caused by the inva- sion of Austrians and Germans did, of course, immense damage; but recon- struction work. is well under way, and it is hoped thdt with a good harvest much progress 'will be made this year, while everything is being done to re- open the oil wells, which were badly damaged by the Germans. people, their: love of home, and their, intense patriotism are assets which cannot be estimated, but which are qualities which will be appreciated above all countries in Canada. Mr. Lloyd Harris, head of the Canadian Mission in London, states that the way in which Rumania' particularly looks to | Canada for guidance "in the present 'juncture is the most flattering compli- 'ment to Canada's record among the nations in the last twenty-five 'years. "You have built up," they say in ef- fect, "a vast country from virgin soil. We also have similar conditions, and we would like to take Canada as our model." 2, : A = : FILM COMPANY ABOUT TO TOUR CANADIAN ROCKIES Word has been received i in Wininepy that the Fred Stone Film Company, 'a party of fi 3 people, are in Vancouver enroute to Lake Louise, Banff and other Canadian Rocky Resorts, for the purpose of filming Western Story which will in- J clude about twenty five hundred feet EJ of inspec- |torates was brought up by 4 : A, Thoms, who thought th of our Canadian Resorts.
