This, to be held from February 7 ti to 14th inclusive, is planned to be the greatest yet. Calgary enthusiasts have decided to cancel their owr carnival arrangements and to unite with the Banfi citizens to ma e it a success. A very comprehensiw program of s rts has already been drawn up coverin events in cur mg, skating, snow-shoeing, ski runnin an jumping, ski-joring, tobagganning, trap-shooting, s eigh- ing, and swimming in the hot sulphur pools. For none oi these sports could the setting or the conveniences be excelled. For the adventurous visitor Lake Minnewanka ofiers ice-yachting. Dog-sled races are a never failing source of interest. These races are often run down the main street, and, as in other sports, it is often a case of the best dog being beaten as a great deal of comedy is played. It often happens that an over anxious or jealous contestant grabs an opponent in any convenient place and in the ensuing mixup any old hound can waddle home an easy winner. But its all in the game ;. and the game at Banfi is ‘the outâ€"door gameâ€"with dancing, cards or concerts in [which each one plays a part in the evening. BEAR PLAYS PEBK-A-BOO, TAG AND OTHER GAMES Exciting Tillie on Stone’s Line When a Bear Appears. Last. Thursday, while a couple of men were working in the bush on Stone’s Line, a small black bear came wandering along. Their dog saw it and gave chase, and when he came back. he showed signs of having had all he wanted. He was scratched up and bleeding. This bird of a bear evidently ignored old traditions. He came out on the previous Monday. saw his shadow. and was so pleased 'with the picture that. he decided to stay out. 0n Fridm, Bruin, Jr. was seen in a'farmer 3 field. and a couple of men gme chase, following the trail until daik, when they retired to their homes, unfettered by hear meat. Saturday the bear came around again to play hide-and-seek and his challenge was again accepted. This time. Teddy Bear ran into a drivmg shed where he was cornered. One man threw a rope around him, but the bear said "wool” and made a lunge for the lassoer, who took to his heels and distanced the bear by several rods. Again the chase was taken up, and one. pursuer got so close to the prey that he was able to kick the little animal in the place where a bear ought to grow a tail but don’t. On Sunday, the bear showed himself again, _hut as every: body on that concession is a Presbyterian and kee s sacred the "Sawbeth” day, the c allenge went unneeded. But Monday! Oh, my! The whole concession (or a his portion of it) decided that they would tag that bear or die in the attempt, neither of which event- uality occurred, of course. ‘The best plans â€"” you know the rest. The unforseen occurred. _ A heavy rein came on, the hunters came home disconsolate, and the little bear is hidden somewhere out in the long swamp between here and Prieeville. The gentleman whom we relented to, tagged the beer lnst, and as the bear is “it”, he will have to show up min. ,In the meantime, the game is postponed, and this truth! chronicle of on actual hear hunt in Artemis; Township has to he “Gon- tinued next week.” -â€" Flesherton Advnnce. Illusion all lit-magic- What is likely to he the result of any serious euempt to tcndo with Bolshevist Russie? A distinguished United States journalist. lane 1". Win, who visited Toronto re- cently, where he addressed the Can- edien Club, gives proof, from the experiences of people who have made the experiment of trading with Russia, of the impossibility of doing it. In a recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post, Mr. Marcosson, who has recently visited Russia. explains how Americans who have tried to reopen trade with that country have been despoiled. He prefoces his ar- ticle by a catalo e of the foreign investments in ussio before the war, every penny of which has been lost, since the Bolsheviks have “naâ€" tionalised“ all the factories which were established by the aid of for- eign capital and have repudiated every foreign debt. He continues: Wlith these post-mortems disposed of, the next step is to consider the American firms and individuals who have had the temerity to put their heads, so to speak, into the mouth of the Bolshevik bear. After the program of wholesale confiscation just exposed, you may wonder why people are willing to throw good money afterbad. The" experience of most alien con- cessionaires in Russia proves that such continues to be the case. 'l‘wo wordsâ€"illusion and disillusion-â€"~ summarize the “opportunity" afl'ord- ed the foreigner to do business with the Soviet Government. - in when“! w W rur- cigars in m Tommy. any. vv- \-' To say that the Bolsheviks hold the absolute power of economic life and death states the case precisely. AnyhOdy who ventures commercial- 1y into Russia makes himself a party to a supervisionâ€"it is really an iron dictatorshipâ€"that is well-nigh in- credible. Tie up with Moscow and you cease to be master of your mon- ey or your enterprise. More fre- quently you lose both and sometimes your freedom as well. The Soviet Government. is no less high-handed with nations. To com- prehend the procedure you must know that the supreme trade. an» thority in Russia. excepting, of course, the political ring that bosses everything. is the Commissariat of Foreign Trade. which has a monop- oly of all imports and exports. Its direct representative outside Russia. is usually a so-called trade delega- tion. which also is a nest of propa- ganda. In countries that have not recognized Moscow, the nearest trade delegation handles the B010 commercial interests. Before. France entered into diplomatic relations ‘with Russia. the intermediary was IBerlin or London. I v. “V--‘.‘v â€" When Moscow gets peeved, she has a habit. of arbitrarily removing her trade from the country of the fancied insult to another. This oc- curred immediately after the Ger- man police raided the Soviet trade delegation in Berlin in order to get a notorious Communist, who had sought refuge there. Russia immed- iately shifted her business to Hol- land and Czecho-Slovakia. _ 3‘.--“ wâ€"v It.was not until 1921 that any American business man broke. into Soviet Russia. Concerning the in- itial concessionaire, there is a char- acteristic story. He was \Vashing- ton Vanderlip, a Western mining prospector. financed by a group of Los Angeles citizens who put Up enough money to send him to Mos- cow._ Hggotwhat came to .be knovm --‘. -__,___ as the Vanderlip concession for a considerable mineral area in Kam- chatka, a peninsula 011' the north- eastern Siberian coast opposite Alaska. “1.550. It is typical of the cunning of the Bolshevik Government that they gave the wide impression in Europe that the concession had been be- stowed on Frank A. Vanderlip, the former Wall Street banker. This grant was capitalized for all that it was worth and was used as a sell- ing point to get the trade agreement with England. Washington Vander- lip believed he had a big thing that was to be the beginning of a real era of Americanâ€"Russian co-opera- tion. Despite all the hot air gener- ated about the concession, it came to naught. - - n--_: -A UV uâ€"'°-- vv American participation in Soviet? oil disclosed the usual inability to get anywhere with the Bolsheviks. The case of the International Barns. dall Corporation will illustrate. In 1922, Mason Day, who had been man- aging director of an American trade concern in Constantinople, procured a contract from the Soviet Govern- ment to drill some wells in the Baku area on what was formerly (l'own land.

A considerable part of the compensa- tion was to be paid in oil. One of the first jokers in the agreement was that the Americans were to be paid only for work. to a depth of 2A4!) feet. . After that it was their own financial responsibil- ity. They discovered to their cost that the oil was considerably below the stipulated stage. This was mere- ly the beginning of the troubles. There was, as always, irritating Bol- shevik supervision. Then the Bolo workmen ,demanded an increase of fortyâ€"five per cent in wages. A fur- ther complication grew out of the payment, or rather the nonopayment for the eguipment, all of which 'was brought _rom the United States. fifiafiofi’fifiufi,‘ owned by former uaygr H.

T'l‘he Bolsheviks lend little aid or‘ encouragement to those whom they ask to work their eonceeslons. When an American engineer reached the Siberian coast to make a survey of the Far Eastern Exploration proper- ties, he was compelled to pa l,300 roubles duty on some tents at he had urchased. at Shanghai for 300 roub es. More unfortunate was the exper- ience of John Maitlend of Detroit, who, after retiring as worker in Russia for the American Relief Ad- ministration, got a concession to erect a group of buildings for the Soviet Government. After he had constructed three warehouses and spent more than _i,000,000 roubles, he received a notice one night to leave Russia within two weeks. No explanation was given, nor has he yet discovered the reason- for his dismissal. The best summing up of the con- cession business in Russia, says Mr. Marcosson in conclusion; was made by an Ameriqan who hus _been in the grime and who was glad to escape with a whole skin. Here it is: “If I had $300,000,000, I would not. put. one cent of it in Russia except as philanthrony pure and simple, or to buy works of art. The very nature of things there pre- cludes tho possibility of bringing about any big devolonment or indus~ trial extension on a profit-making basis.
