Reports to the Natural Resources Inâ€" telligence Service of the Department of the Interior from the fur sales there are to the effect that all skins offered were sold and at an advance of fifteen per cent. over former prices. To quote one of the prominent breedâ€" ers of the Island province, the handiâ€" cap of the United States tariff and the proportionately few residents of that country who appreciate the merits of the silver fox pelt did not warrant the Canadian fox breeders in continuing their endeavors to sell their output in that market. The United States furâ€" rlers took the ground that the comâ€" paratively small number of skins available, when spread over such a large field, and the financial returns therefrom were not worth the effort required to educate their public in the value of the silver fox.

Canada has lost, chiefly through forest conflagrations, almost twoâ€" thirds of her original forest inheriâ€" tance and with five million acres deâ€" stroyed in New Brunswick during June and 500,000 acres in Quebec, it is difficult to see where the raw material for "cheaper lumber"‘ is to come from.

OOAAA iC A0, BR oi oi ie ic o ies t e it Bill t the e one keeps along During the season of 1922 and since September of that year, the irrigated district centring on Vauxhall, shipped 153 cars of wheat, 44 cars of potatoes, 17 cars of hay, 87 cars of sheep, 8 cars of cattle, 5 cars of hogs, and 6 cars of mixed feed. The above shipâ€" ments came from 10,000 acres, which were in crop in the district last year, and is an indication of what is being accomplished on irrigated lands of Southern Alberta. Aarother factor in the dear lumber situation is that twentyâ€"five years ago and more, timber was better gituated than toâ€"day. It lay along rivers and lakes, easily accessible, easily and cheaply marketed. ‘Toâ€"day, the timber that reaches market often must be floated down the rivers for more than two years before it arrives at the mill and the losses on the way as well as the burden of extra interest charges ; make every log cost more. Lumber| camp labor has also deteriorated in | skill and industry in many areas and this is refjlected in higher costs of, production. | In the phrase of a famous Forest Enâ€" gineeor: "Every forest fire must be paid for by the lumber or paper conâ€" sumer." The great foe to the user of lumber, however, is the forest fire and nearly all forest fires are started by ordinary citizens on a camping or fishing hike. It is an interesting fact that the farmâ€" ers of America use more forest proâ€" ducts than any other class of citiâ€" zens. The farm demand for timber represents threeâ€"fifths of the annual cut. § Thousands of tourists are now passâ€" ing through Alberta, visiting the various national parks and other places of interest, The auto camps at Calgary, Edmonton and elsewhere reâ€" port many visitors.
