It was not until 1851 that the Suc- cas was taken out of the terrible con- vict trade to become. a permanent slope-sided cubicles the most refactory prisoners were chained to a ringbolt, unable either to sit down or stand up The majority of those so confined for any length of time came out blind, in- sane or mad. Even the condemned cells, situated at another point of the merely larger cells into which the prisoners were thrust for their spirit- ual or physical needs; and here, too, is the “tiger’s den,” where the most ferocious of the prisoners were herded to fight it out among themselves. On the lowest deck, below the water line, are the solitary confinement cells and the infamous black holes many to the strength of her teak timbers and to the skill of her master, zcapt. Smith, who is confident that the feat will be satisfactorily accomplished. Since the year 1890 the Sucecss has toured the world as a floating museum, for which purpose she is to be sta- tioned 03 the coast of Australia.

Interesting through this. association of the old vessel undoubtedly is, vastly more interesting in her connection with the convict traffic, of the fleet employed of which she is now the sole survivor. When the Success was taken from the East India merchant service in 1802 to become the flagship of the British felon fleet plying between Great Britain and Australia she was thoroughly equipped for that business, and many evidences of such equip- ment still remain. A trip through the old yellow hulk seems to turn the clock back to the middle ages. Here, in their original shape, are preserved the cells and dungeons 'in which men and women were confined, the instru- ments used to torture them and the official records of their crimes, trials and sufferings. In addition to the ancient muskets in the gun room there are old hand- cuffs, keys, locks and scores of docu- ments relating to the trial, deportation and confinement of prisoners; auto- graphs of different soverigns and rare woodcut etchings showing the in- human treatment accorded prisoners in the olden days. On the main deck immediately outside the ofiicers’ quar- ters here are displayed the original leg-irons used aboard the convict ship when she was engaged in the trans~ portation of human freight. Trans- portation sentences were never less than seven years and ranged to the term of the natural life of the pri- soners. The original pumps of the vessel, still used to keep her free of water and utilized with remarkable success during her voyage of 96 days across the Atlantic in 1912, may be seen a few feet distant.

CHRONICLE its quotation for it being at the rate of $1.00 per pound. It isostlmated that was then raised and hufidred buffalo could be disposed of without wiping out the entire herd at ‘5 2mm inHaLâ€"«b A gratifying feature of Canada’s ad- venture in bringing back the buflalo is the way in which the different herds ample ranges. The case of the main herd at Wainwright, Alberta, in which there was an increase from about 700 head to 17,000 head in eighteen years has often been cited. This year 1,088 young buffalo were sent from Wain- wright to the Wood Bufialo park near Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, and to slightly more than 100,000,000 for the twenty-eight years since the in- auguration of free tree distribution to prairie farmers by the Dominion Government. Reports of the inspect- ors indicate that at least 83 per cent of the plantations set out in these years are in 'good growing condition. It is particularly intresting to note the greatly increased demand for coni- fers during the past few years. Such hardy evergreens as used chiefly for planting inside of and to re-enforce already established broad-leaved belts by planting in single or double rows or in closely set groups or clumps. Thus they provide a much denser and more effective windbreak than if only species which drop their leaves in the autumn were used and their green coloring strikes a cheerful note in the winter landscape. Throughout the Prairie Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, the effect of tree planting is seen in the well sheltered homes, gardens and orchards. The growing of certain varieties of small fruits, both small and large, and of fine vegetables is becoming more general. Interest is spreading rapidly and the annual dis- tribution is larger each succeeding spring. With arrangements completed for the 1929 shipment, applications are now being received from those who are planning to set out shelter belts in 1930. Applications for stock for this work should be made not later than March 31, 1929, to the Forest Nursery Station, Indian Head. Inspec- tors will visit the farms of applicants during the next summer and give dir- ections as to planting and care of the young trees. The basis of this distri- bution is co-operationâ€"the Govern- in the planting of . shelterbelts on prairie farms in Western Canada and preparations now being completed for the 1929 distribution by the Depart- ment of the Interior from the Domin- ion Forest Service nursery stations at Indian Head and Sutherland, Saskat- chewan, point to next spring as one of the busiest in the history of the work. The advent of the autumn freeze-up has brought to a close another very satisfactory season’s operations. Ap- proximately 8,000,000 seedlings and cuttings have been safely “heeled in” for winter storage, and beginning in May these will be sent out to about 10,000 applicants. Last spring about 7,500,000 trees were shipped out from The facilities for growing evergreens at Indian Head are at present some- what limited and as a result it is im- possible to meet the demand for these species. On that account not more than 100 evergreen trees are supplied to each applicant. A nominal charge of $3 per hundred is made. Farmers are coming to realize that, contrary to the opinion once generally accepted, evergreens are not difficult to grow and a few hundred of these trees add to the general attractiveness and effectiveness of a farm plantation at all seasons of the year. Another Instance of Canada’s Success supplyhig the‘uees and planting ad- the and the farmers the land and the laborâ€"and the success that has at- tended the movemant“ is due to the harmonious carrying out of this plan.

This number, considering the other animalh in the park, was felt to be beyond the grazing capacity of the area and the wild animal enclosure, fifty-one square miles in area, about 37 mlles northeast of Edmonton.

Without control there would be constant risk of being forced to pay high prices for apparatus or of being unable to secure consistent standard of equipment. If either of these conditions prevailed the malt would be higher rates or poor service for telephone HE Northern Electric has developed from a small . . knmnrn'nn +n on nnfcf-onrnnnn nonorhon cnnmcc A large factor in obtaining these lowco’stsandlowrateshasbem the arrangement and relationship between the Bell Telephone Com- pany and the Northern Electric Company. I. dividends from Northern Electric Apart from this protection there are two definite results secured. These are: first, dividends; second, low prices. 2. low prices from Northern Eiectric It is thus the lowest price level of this competitive business which governs the prices paid by the Bell Telephone Company. The Board of Railway Commissioners in 1926 made a detailed inquiry into these prices and their judge- ment was that “â€"the agreement and supplementary agreement which govern their relations are distinct- ly advantageous to the Bell Telephone Com pany.” Proof of this is seen in comparing costs of building the telephone system and rates paid by subscribers with those of other systems. The average cost of building other systems in Can- ada, England, Brazil and the United States has been $227 per telephone. The cost in Ontario and Quebec has been 3189 per telephone, or 17 per cent less than the average. And the rates which telephone users pay in Ontario and Quebec are the lowest in the world for compar- able service. 1 beginning to an outstanding Canadian success. In 1928 its total business was more than $25,000,000 which is four times its business in 1914. 48 per cent of this total was with the Bell Telephone Company. 11 per cent was with other telephone companies and 41 per cent was in general electrical business in Canada and abroad. In the fifteen years since the Northern Electric was incorporated the telephone company has received from it in dividends over two-and-a-half million dol- lars. In all this total of success the Bell Telephone Com- pany participates as ,majority shareholder. 51 per cent of all dividends paid by the Northern Electric have come back to the telephone company’s revenues. These have contributed to operate the system in place of equal sums subscribers would otherwise be called on to pay. THE contract between these two companies stip- ulates that 121.; prices which the Bell Telephone Company pay for equipment shall be as low as, or lower than, the lowest prices paid to Northern Elec- tric by its other customers. The dividends paid by Northern Electric represent an average annual return of only 5.7 per cent on the capital stock, surplus earnings having been devoted coz1s;stc.ltly to ext *: 'J plant and equipment. The other customers of Northern Electric include every telephone system of importance in Canada and business from them has been secured in open com- petition with British and American manufacturers. 2. contractâ€"the telephone company has a contract 1. ownershipâ€"the telephone company controls the Northern Electric by owning 51 per cent of Northern Electric shares. ;HE relationship between the Bell Telephone Company and the Northern Electric Company is direct and definite.
