A despatch from Regina, Bask., says: A strange communication signed 'The Chief of the Unem- ployed Gang,'"' wag published here on Friday. .It threatens direful things for Regina, nothing less than the immediate and total destruction of 'the city by fire and dynamite if the "white. unemployed' are not found immediate work. The mdtter was not very seriously regarded, but impelled the police to issue a warning to citizens to report any uritoward 'happenings as quickly as possible. The letter. states "that the unemployed gang"' will take the city by "rioting, shooting and. burning property," if some help is not immediately vouchsafed them. em ee pene LAST SPIKE DRIVEN. nected Up" With the West, © A desptach from" Port Arthur 1 , and party arrived late oii hursaay night after driving the ast spike in the C.N.R. at Little te hia Reh early 8 jhe morni "Although arriving: late. the pai : queted by A 0 rg Board of £m romi- | Whil e rough fig- A despatch from Ottawa says: The Department of Agriculture is preparing to greatly expand the [by the Shareholders at their annual meeting held in Winnipeg on Decem- ber 17th, is the best in tlie history of the Bank, The net profits for the year after making the usual deduc- tions for expenses. of management and making full provisions for bad and doubtful debts amounted to $750, 095 or $44,000 more than was earned in 1912, Other evidences of progress are shown by a further examination of the Bank's statement, The note circulation throughout the year in- creased from $4,700,000 to $6,200,000.

THE WORK. UNION BANK HAS FINE YEAR. Restoration of the Live Stock In- Cent. of Liabilities. 400,000. Current loans increased from $45,000,000 to $46,700,000, while total assets show the large gain of $11, 800,000, now standing at $60,766,532. A striking feature of the Bank statement is found in a further exam- ination of the assets. The Bank pos- sesses an unusually large amount of gold, Dominion notes and other quick- hy available assets--these amounting to $27,655,000 as compared with $22,- 790,000 for the previous year. This policy of maintaining a large propor tion of the assets in a form easily coriverted into cash is a character istic of this Bank, and the present holdings of nearly twenty-seven and three-quarter millions bear a high pro- portion to the Bank's total lability to the public. The fact that deposits Increased during the year also calls for comment, as 'during the past year there were unusual demands for funds and depositors were more inclined to withdraw funds then to increase thelr holdings.: The fact that deposits in- creased fs an indication of the fn creased conflderice on the part of the public in the management of the' Bank. The Bank on its side has been doing {ts full share in catering to the business needs of the communities in which its branches are located.
