In one in- stance at Holland Centre, Ontario, -an automobile drove up and stopped on the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The driver thought that an approaching train would take another passing track. The driver, realizing his mistake, tried to get his car cut of the way of the "But his car was stalled. The cér was unable to stop the with the result that the auto- mobile: was smashed and three occu- pants of the car were injured. "- At a crossing on Aylmer Road, near Hull, Quebec, an automobile ran into a Canadian Pacific train. The driver was going too fast to stop his automobile when he saw the train. Two occupants of the auto- mobile were injured. A motor accident with all the thrills of a movie stunt occurred at the corner of Yonge and King streets, Toronto, when an automo- bile charged into one of the King street windows of the Canadian Pa- cific Building, making a report that sounded as though the gas tank had exploded. The car, according to the police, was coming north on Yonge street. The signals were against the car, which in its flight grazed a Belt Line car going east on King street. It continued to swerve right across the pavement into the plate glass front of the imposing C. P..R. office building. Here, with a loud back- fire from the engine, the car sud- denly plunged its front wheels through the quarter-inch plate-glass window. Being up against an im- movable obstacle it naturally came to a standstill. No one was hurt. The fender of the car was badly smashed up, the right front tire torn off and the rear. wheel badly damaged. The window was broken right across the whole twelve feet or so, and to a height of about six feet in one point. The driver admitted that he was nervous at the time; he hadn't the slightest idea of what was happen- ing. New Liskeard.--The work of con- structing the northerly extension of the C. P. R. from Kipawa to Des Quinze is progressing at a good rate, 'and already the grading has been completed on 35 miles of the exten- sion, with 19 miles of rails having been laid. The present contract, held by Angus & Taylor of North Bay, calls for the construction of 70 miles of roadbed, the northern end termin- ating in the vicinity of Des Quinze, one of the greatest series of water- falls in Northern Canada. "This extension places the C. P. R. on the southern outskirts of min- eral lands of big prospective merit in that part of the Province of Que- bec lying adjacent to the gold-mim- ing fields of Ontario. It is known that the C. P. R. has also carried survey work far into the new land to the north. Moose Jaw.--The subway at the Canadian Pacific Railway station is about to be put into commission. All six passenger tracks in the pas- genger terminal are completed, and the first four tracks are in operation. The work of completing the sub- way is in full swing. The stairways | are in place and the interior of the subway is lined with the handsome glazed tile. When the subway is put into com- |} mission the general public will not : Raila nes were called apon' be permitted on the station plat- form. The tickets will be inspected at the doors leading from the wait- ing roum to the subway. Passengers alighting from trains will descend the stairs to the subway and then pass up the stairs into the depot. The completion of the subway will finish the building programme un- dertaken by the company three years ago. Moose Jaw.--Out of a total of 44,817 cars of grain loaded at coun- ° try elevators on the Canadian Pa- cific lines in the three prairie prov- inces, between Septemper 1 and October 14, 25,500 cars [were loaded in the Saskatchewan aistrict. The total quantity of. grain ship- ped on the Canadizn Pacific lines up. until October 14th, was 65,219,- 498 bushels, or an average of 1,455 bushels per car. Some idea of the enormous in- crease in the quantity of grain handled this year, up until October 14, as compared with the amount handled in the same period in 1215 and 1921, can be obtained from the figures following: : Bushels Cars Bushels Year.

R. the laying of heavy rails is being continued from St, Stephen towards St. Jehn, and "it is expected that the heavy steel will be completed to Pennfield be- fore the very cold weather sels im. lly all of the basic products of j Canada. Since the first of September, "lwhen the big prairie grain crop be- 'gan to be moved to market, and when the coal miners in both Canada and United States resum- ed work in the mines after a pro- longed strike, the "National" lines have been called upon to handle a tremendous tonnage, not alone in those two essential commodi- ties, but 1 live stock, paper, pulp and lumber as well. In the handling of the products of the pulp, paper and lumber mills some shortage of freight cars developed as.a result of conditions in the United States. An un- precedented volume of traffic, coupled with a shortage of freight cars to handle it, prevailed on United States lines so they could not furnish their due share of cars for the International traffic origin- ated in Canada. The chief market for the Canadian pulp, paper and lumbe mills is in the U.S.A. The Canadian National was well aware that the movement of any of its equipment to U.S woud result in temporary loss of such cars, but since, on the other hand, the withholding of cars from this In- ternational trafic would have resulted in the probable closing down of, and financial hardship to the Canadian Paper, pulp anl lum- ber idustries, the C.N.R. perforce protected these Canadian indus- tries to the utmost of its ability and the large number of cars were loaded that moved south. Absorp- tion followed as had been expected The National Lines made a logical and persistent effort with the neighboring United States Lines, and with the American Railway Association to secure return of the cars with all of the organization, Officers and employees, were bent the more strenuously to the task {of meeting the local demands. i During September, October and 'November in 1922 the C.N.R. 'moved over its rails from the 'prairies to the head of the lakes, 63,527,000 bushels an increase over :1921 of more than 13,000,000 bush- 'els. In 1921 from September first 'to November 30th, only 811,916 'bushels of grain were moved to eastern Canada for domestic use, 'and for export to the Atlantic Sea- tboard over C.N.R. rails. This pear 'due largely to serious congestion at southern lake ports, the total was 7,628,768 bushels, an increase of 6,816,852 bushels, this increase being more than eight times the total handled in the same months of 1921. In the coal traffic the increase this season has been striking. Last lyear, during September, October iand November, a total of 646,465! tons of commercial coal were ,moved to market from Western {Canada coal mines. This year the | total was 996,135 tons, an increase lof more than 50 p.c. or 349,670 tons over 1921. In addition to this tonnage the 'to handle a large output from the mines of the Maritime Provinces. These, also sharp increases were registered in the figures of coal "handled to market as compared with the same month in 1921. In September 1921 the total of coal handled over lines in the far east was 04,449 tons; in September 1922 the handling totalled 108,-091 tons. In October 1921 the total cwas 71,178 'tons, while in October I1922 some T115,572 tons of coal ber 1921 there were 83,524 tons shipped via the 110,446 tons. As the Management had to keep in views, along with the commercial coal, its own con- sideration supplies, it is seen the total movement of Canadian coal during the autumn has been large and greatly in excess of that of 1921 for the same period. During July, August, September and October this year, on eastern lines alone, forest products other than pulpwood used 29,379 cars, and pulpwood 10,972 cars. During August September and October this year, a total of 9,111 cars were loaded with live stock (on western lines) . These ship-i States by way of Emerson 1275 or A 7s | Mrs C. E.

"United India and Indian Statues" has the following review of the above mentioned book: "This anthology 1s an elegant tribute paid by an Irishman to the grandeur and natural beauty of his motherland, and also is a splen did compliment to the glorious scenery of the land of the Maple Leaf, his adopted home. The poems in the book deal with the diversity of subjects and cover a very vast field. Whatever theme is taken up whether it is the des- cription of a scene or the express- ion of a sentiment, whether it is a tender tribute to the valour of a friend, livitg or dead, or a retrospective narrative of his own early school days, the poet's facile and graphic pen strikes a fine chord. Mr Hargadson is a born poet, full of love, piety, patriotism, faith and sympathy, and his poems abound with fresh- ness and sunshine. Thelanguage and the metre used ar so simple end easy in flow that even a school boy could follow them with pleas- ure and enjoyment. We cull a few lines that appeal to us as be- ing of outstanding merit, senti- ment and simplicity. Here is a Local Story (contributed) A number of local men have been proposed for membership in the American Institute of Agriculture, Chicago, a national organization for training farmers and those in- 'terested in promoting agriculture, on the principles and best methods in the marketing of farm products. membership are: J. W. BRILL, Dryden, Manager of Co-Operative Store. ; T. H. SCOTT, Oxdrift, Manager of Co-Operative Store. Othérs from this county are eligible for membership, and ap- plication may be made direct to the American Institute of Agri- culture, 326 Madison St., Chicago, IL. ry college of agriculture, county state marketing officials and the agents, farm bureaus, granges and carious farmers' associations, train suitable men for the many marketing jobs which are now states. It also aims to teach far- mers how to market their crops to better advantage and to promote general prosperity of the commun- ity. More than a hundred national authorities on the marketing of In "The Hero", the poet pays a handsome tribute: to one of his dear friends Captain the Hon. A. Shaughnessy, who was killed in France on March 31st, 1916: -- grieved not to part With his life for the cause that was dear to his heart; But few be our tears! takes the command Of great souls who inspire us to fight for our land. The oak that is strongest may fall in the blast, But a forest will grow from the seeds that is cast; Thus each drop from the breast of this flower of our race Will spring up a soldier to stand in his place." j The naturel course of passing away from this world is thus described in "Going Away" "Yet those we leave shall go away And those they leave shall go: All to th great Eternity We follow in a row." Troubles, worries and disappoint- ments are the natural shares of human beings, and the poet offers a little consolation in his poem "Broken Buds" in these words -- "Perhaps the flowers of heaven are little flowers for. he the ground; Perhaps the hours of heaven are happy hours ; That here we often sought; but never found." His own countrymen are described | in vigorous forcible languages :(-- 1"No other race has such a love For God and native land, | And none can fight for liberty 1 | With such a stalwart hand; On scaffold, prison yard, or field: { None dies a death so grand." We have nothing but praise for this beautiful book which is ex- tremely well got out on thick paper dnd in clear bold print; and has a large number of glorious reproductions of several photo- graphs of persons, and of Irish 'and Canadian scenery. : "Irish and Canadian Poems" by M.
