Her purchases were a seventh greater than those of Germany. They were 26 per cent. of those made up by the whole of Europe combined. Nor is this trade a oneâ€" sided afftar. It looks impressive when considered as a whole. Of the total exports from Canada in 1912 the United States bought over 38 per cent. Almost all the mineral »xports of Canada go to the latter country ; most of its forest products and manufactures, and a third of the yield of its fisheries. This comâ€" merce in both directions is destined to grow even more rapidly in the next few years, owing to impending changes in the tariff regulations of the United States, than it has at any time during the last forty to "It is usual to speak and think of Europe as the best customer of the United States; and insofar as this refers to the United Kingdom, it is true. But the Dominion of Canada is ‘ar and away the second best customer that we have. The statistics have been brought down to cover the first ten months of the current fiscal year, which began on July 1 last. During that time our exports to the United Kingdom Canada is now, in regard to the population, â€" about _ where _ the United States was in 1813, in all other respects she stands about where the United States did sixty years ago. The apparatus for her development is substantially comâ€" plete, and the process is going forâ€" ward at a startling pace. Commercial Relations Close. "In spite of all obstructions, the commercial relations between Canâ€" awda and the United States have grown to such proportions that asâ€" tonish even those familiar with the official figures. According to the report of the United States Consul in this city, the foreign trade of Canada: reached a total of over a billion dollars for the calendar year 1912. The increase over 1911 was 23.5 per cent. Of the total 56 per cent. was business done with the United States. For the same calâ€" endar year the balance of trade for the whole United States was $581,â€" 000,000 ; and of this $255,000,000 was due to our commerce with Canada. I# supplied fortyâ€"four per cent. of the balance rolled up by our comâ€" merce with the whole world. ' "A century has written in the United States a record never before equalled.

Hill, the noted American railway magnate, in responding to the toast of "Our Guests‘‘ at the banquet of the New York State Bankers‘ Assoâ€" ciation held here on Thursday. Mr. Hill, after eloquent reference to the hundred years of peace, preâ€" dicting that there would never again be war between Englishâ€" speaking nations, said in part: + _ ‘"‘Capital is the most cosmopoliâ€" tan force in the world. From the Beginnings of human intercourse it has broken down more barriers, cemented more bonds than all the armies and navies of the world. Capital toâ€"day furnishes the sinews of war.

Big Improvements Planned for Govâ€" ernor General‘s Residence. A despatch from Ottawa says : The public works architects have begun the preparation of plans for the Rideau Hall improvements. A new front of four or five storeys, with an imposing tower, is what is planned. The cost will be about $150,000. The rear of the building is largely new and with a new front the whole appearance of the vice regal residenct will be changed. Six Suspects Were Arrested at London, Ontario. A despatch from London, Ont., says : Numerous complaints of opâ€" erations of pickpockets and house thieves, supposed to be following the Barnum & Bailey show, which played here on Thursday, were made in the afternoon and the evening, and six suspects were picked up by detectives, All are said to be wellâ€"known crooks, and gave names of various American cities as their addresses.

It is not too late to prevent the robbing of the soil, the exhaustion of fertility still unâ€" impaired in your more recently settled districts. It is not so large a task, while your population still remains below the ten million mark, to introduce and enforce right methods of farming; to stop the transfer of population from country to city which has been a mark of decline in practically every counâ€" try of the world. The Dominion Government, I believe, has shown its appreciation of the importance and value of this work by an apâ€" propriation of ten million dollars, to be spent in and by the various provinces within the next ten years. This is wisely done, but you should take care that these funds are not frittered away on exâ€" tensive buildings or large permaâ€" nent educational staffs, but devoted to practical instruction to the farâ€" mer in modern farm methods with his own hands on his own land."

A despatch from London says: Lord Strathcona has made a conâ€" tribution of $50,000 toward the purâ€" chase of the Crystal Palace, the acâ€" quisition of which for the nation‘s use is now assured. A very considerable amount of busiâ€" ness will be laid before the delegates, and it is expected that the Sessions of the High Court will extend over seyvâ€" eral days, probably occupying their attention till the 13th or 14th inst. We find further that the Superinâ€" tendent of Organization has been able to report the institution of fortyâ€"one new Courts, so that every effort posâ€" sible is being made to establish Courts of the Canadian Order of Foresters in the new territory being opened up in the Dominion of Canada from time to time, and as the po:ints become large enough to maintain a Court. A point of special interest as indiâ€" cating the cautious selection of risks, is the death rate, which for 1912 was only 5.78 per thousand, and over the Order‘s . experience of thirtyâ€"three years, less than 5.25 per cent. per thousand. It is gratifying to note, in a perusal of the reports of all the officers, the farâ€"reaching benefits that are being derived by the membership, in the various directions in which this Soâ€" ciety endeavors to be of assistance to the individuals who compose same. The record of the Canadian Order of Foresters, as submitted in these reâ€" ports, is well worth the perusal of those who have been perhaps too apt to decry the permanence and staâ€" bility of fraternal insurance concerns. There is every evidence of careful management and of wellâ€"directed enâ€" deavor to conduct the affairs of the Society in an intelligent and businessâ€" like manner. Besides the benefits accruing from Life Insurance and the ordinary Sick and Funeral Benefit Department of this Order, we note that special proâ€" vision is being made for those of its members who are suffering from Tubucular troubles of any kind, a special grant being made for their care in any of a number of Sanitaria provided in this country for special treatment of patients so affliicted. In respect to membership also, substantial progress was made. The net result of the year‘s operations showing an increase of 4,410; the membership of the Order on the 31st of December, 1912, standing at 87,536. _ Both the Sick and Funeral Benefit and General Funds show larger inâ€" creases for 1912 than in any previous year. Interest earned on investments of Sick and Funeral Benefit funds, which are of a similar nature to those made of the Insurance funds, amountâ€" ed to $12,208.04, and, after the payâ€" ment of nearly 7,000 Sick and Funeral Benefit Claims, amounting to $166,â€" 534.30, the sum of $51,783.44 was adâ€" ded to the balance in this Departâ€" ment, as the result of the business for the year under review. The total amount standing to the credit of this fund at the present date is $306,927.03. LORD STRATHCONA‘S GIFT. In respect to the matter of investâ€" ments, it is interesting to know that the Order confines the use of its funds to the purchasing of Municipal and School Debentures of the Dominâ€" ion of Canada, and the very advanâ€" tageous market, from the investors‘ point of view, of recent years, has enabled the Executive Committee to obtain a handsome return on such inâ€" vestments, taking into consideration the undoubted security offered in this class of investment. [ This Order confines its business enâ€" ltlrely to the Dominion of Canada, and is,‘ therefore, peculiarly a Canadian !organizauon. In all its departments the result of the business of 1912 shows it to have been the best year in the Order‘s experience. The inâ€" crease in the Insurance Funds of the Order amounted to $380,727.15. This fund standing at the end of the year, after payment of 506 Death Claims amounting to $508,951.19, at $3,989,â€" 976.21, the amount at the present time being $4,108,799.50. The revenue now derived from the investments of the Order constitute a very substantial amount of the annual income. Last year interest earned on investments %GInsurance Funds amounted. to $167.-j .16. The annual reports of the various officers of this Order are of a most satisfactory nature, showing that the steady progress that the Canadian Order of Foresters has experienced ever since its inception in 1879 was continued in the year 1912, which is covered by these reports. _ In addition to the above, John Murâ€" ray, District High Chief Ranger, Haâ€" miota, Man.; D.

This order had its birth in London in November, 1879, and has on three subsequent occaâ€" sions, including the present, returned there for its Annual Meeting.

In the rear and completely ecreened from view are immense gardens which compare creditably in size with many of the city parke. Here hedges and ehrubs have been planted and these with a numâ€" ber of fine old trees which have been preserved, will add greatly to the attracâ€" tiveness of the surroundings. Tennis courts have been provided for the use of the nurses. To illustrate the area covered by the buildings, it may be mentioned that to make a complete twur of the various deâ€" partments taking only a casual survey, The institution ae it stands has cost the enormous sum of _ $5,400,000. Of this amount practically one million dollars has yet to be raised, desvite large donaâ€" tions from the Provincial Government, through the University, from the city and from private subscriptions. The {nâ€" stitution has accommodation for 670 paâ€" tients, which may not seem a large numâ€" ber in view of the amount of money that has been expended, but it has to be reâ€" membered that a good deal of the money has been sbent for laboratories and other experimental equipment, a feature which goes a long way to give the institution stam'iir'\l. 500 nurees and holuo surgeons will be required as a staff, and there will be required as a staff, and there ployees. Toronto‘s splendid new General Kospl-| tal, formally opened on June 19, is said by experts to represent the last word in | hospital construction on the Americnn. continent. Many famous hospitals in | other citiee have been kent up to date| by alterations and additions, but the| local hospital as it exists toâ€"day has the‘ advantage of being planned as a whole and therefore is a model of completeness and efficiency. At least such is the claim of those who are responsible for it. Some idea of ite size is indicated by the fact that in all the large centres of populaâ€" tion in America there are only two hosâ€" pitals which are larger than Toronto‘s new institution. One of these is in Boston and one in New York. A famous Eurâ€" opean surgeon who a few weeks ago looked over the new buildings declared as his parting word, "No man can say he hae ecen the hospitals of America until he has seen this one of yours in Toronto." Mr. Gordon Waldron is a lawyer, with considerable foree of character, though often thought to be extreme in his views. He spent many years in Central Amerâ€" ica, but recently has been practicing law and journalism through the Weekly 8un in this city. Professor Hutton is a very distinguished scholar with etrong militarist ideas. It was he who at the recent annual dinner of the Canadian Prese Association critiâ€" cized the prese and drew fire from the representatives of the newspapers who responded. At all events there scems little doubt that political feeling is running higher at the University now than it has for many years. It is perhape only a reflecâ€" tion of increased political particanship throughout the country, or it may indiâ€" cate that the student body is taking a more active interest in political affairs. Mr. Waldron‘s charge is in the charâ€" acter of a counter aitack to those who have been criticizing the University beâ€" cause of the recent organization there of a Young Men‘s Liberal Club. It is known, too, that there is a considerablo clique of thoroughâ€"paced Nationalists in the stuâ€" dent body. Rome two or three years ago invitations were extended to Mr. Bourâ€" assa and Mr. Lavergne, the prominent Nationalist leaders. It is now said that this Nationalisem had as its basis a cerâ€" tain resentment of the ultra Imperialism of certain members of the staff. Bomething of a rumpus has been stirred up in University circles by the charge made at the annual meeting of the Alumâ€" ni Association by Mr. Gordon Waldron to the effect that an insidious effort is being made to introduce Imperialism into the University. Mr. Waldron did not go further in support of his charge than to say that a distinct tendency was obserâ€" able to introduce Oxford graduates to the staff. But he declared that in Uniâ€" versity College, which is the bailiwick of Dr. Maurice Hutton, there were ten Oxâ€" ford men. In the whole institution there were no lees than 2%, nine of whom had been appointed during the past vear. As to whether these men were conducting any political propaganda and if eo by what methods, Mr. Waldron did not say, The sobricty of Canada bothers others. An employer who had engaged a number of Englishmen on some construction work was scandalized on going up to the top of the building one day recently, to find that the new laborers had laid down their tools and were enjoying hbalf a dozen bottles of beer. But these are exceptional cases. On the whole the new influx constitutes a great addition to the wealth of the nation. No more adaptable are eome of the women. One who took a place as a doâ€" mestic in a home where there were hot and cold water taps and all other conâ€" veniences, was found by her mistress an hour after dinnver sitting in the kitchen beside a dish pan full of disbes. On being asked why she did not go ahead with her dishwashing she said that the water from the hot water tap had been t,col hot and she was waiting for it to eool. Another who was applying to a farmer for m position was meked if he could milk. "Oh aye, brawley," was his reâ€" eponse. "I once milked a goat." _ _ TORONTO CORRESPONDENGE In truth . many of the new lrrivullI know absolutely nothing of conditions on | the farm. One nearby farmer tells m | story of the other day taking home an | immigrant. Early in the evening be ehowed him to his room and in a few | moments heard the thud of boots dropped | on the floor outside the new arrival‘s door. ‘The new hired man was putting his boots outside to be cleaned. | Never before has there been such an influx of immigration from the British Isles into this province as during the pr°â€" seut season. As the distributiug centre, Foronto gets first choice of these fresh civizens. OUften in a stroll along the street, one would judge from the enawhes of conâ€" versation picked up from passers by that one was walking on a London or Birmâ€" ingham thorougofare rather than Canâ€" Adi@L. The crowds in the local immigration offices mare eloquent of the great migraâ€" tion. Figures tell the tale oticially.
