This is 15,000 in excess of the estimated tourâ€" ists to this province the previous year, and the increase is accredited to the improved highways and widespread activities of the Nova Scotia Tourist Association.

A despatch from Prince Rupert, B.

"The Bowdoin wireless made a record for itself on Friday night when Mix, our operator, talked with amateur station 6 CEU in Hawaii.

An interesting point in connection with the new national loan as to whether its service would be in Irish or British currency was settled by an official announcement that interest and principal would be paid out in British sterling.

The whole loan was subscribed in Canada within record time, indicatâ€" ing a substantial volume of surplus wealth in the country and a faith in its future, which prompted people to invest in the development of the counâ€" try in preference to other forms of investment. The flotation, had it done no less, was of inestimable benefit to Canada as an advertisement to those ‘abroad of the prosperity of Canada and the ability of a new and young lcountry to do at least some of its own financing. The announcement of the Minist,eri of Finance that he was about to atâ€"| tempt the flotation of the loan in Canâ€" ada, instead of throwing it on thel richer and more expensive markets oi’| New York or London, was met with a general scepticism and doubt as to the! outcome. There was a prevalent lack: of belief in the ability of Canada to absorb the entire amount, or if it did so, only after a lengthy and extended period of time, which would, to some extent, affect the objects of the loan. A banking syndicate of twentyâ€"eight leading financial firms and banks was formed, and a larger selling syndicate, comprised of over two hundred and twenty investment houses all over the country, followed. ish=‘ se( uzisnn t .

It shows that the Canadian people believe in the future of their own country, and that whilst money will be required from other sources for future developâ€" ment, no mean part of it can be reâ€" ceived from the surplus earnings of Canadians. It should also have a beneficial influence in stimulating imâ€" migration because it illustrates the opportunities open to worthy newâ€" comers. Among the big Alberta wheat yields this year is that of J. J. Wanoop, of Parkland, who threshed an average of 57 bushels from a field of 110 acres. During the fiscal year 1922â€"28, acâ€" cording to the Provincial Dept. of Agriculture, there were in Quebec 7,199 beekeepers, compared with 7.559i in 1921â€"22.

"In the north, there are imâ€" mense possibilities in developed { and undeveloped mineral, forest, | agricultural and fishery proâ€" ‘ ducts, and enormous waterâ€" power. In these there is a poâ€" tency of almost incaleulable wealth in which, in my opinion, it ought to be your fixed deterâ€" mination, as a natural right, to share. In the meantime you share in it as a possession; you share in the responsibilities of its government; you bear no small share in the common resâ€" ponsibility for the welfare of its inhabitants and it should follow that you should reasonably share in the commercial advanâ€" tages incident to the developâ€" ment of its natural resources. ment is called to meet on December 27th, 28th and 29th, in the Legislative Assembly _ Chambers, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, and indications point to a membership of probably ninetyâ€"five boys from the one hundred and six constituencies in the provinces.

"I have said that the developâ€" ment of the north has only beâ€" gun. The mineral resources will no doubt bring large capital to their development in the very near future and the timber is still and will for years, be a source of much employment and profit, and also a large farm area, or I should say, two areas â€"one from New Liskeard to Englehart, extending a long disâ€" tance from east to west and one beyond Matheson to Cochrane, which is known as the main Clay Belt, capable of bearing comfortably hundreds of thouâ€" sands of tillers of the soil. "I have been in the north, and for myself I have seen some litâ€" tle of its treasure. I have faith in the north, and I entertain no doubt whatever that the time is not far off when a steam railâ€" way will reach James Bay to bear the minerals, the fish proâ€" ducts, the furs, the timber and farm produce too, to the marâ€" kets of South Ontario." The older boys, through the Parliaâ€" ment, are shouldering the responsibilâ€" ity for the promotion and support of work with boys in the province and the Cabinet Ministers particularly asâ€" sume responsibility for certain areas during the year. _ Much interest was aroused throughâ€" out the province in the local election campaigns which p_recoded the voting The Third It is a wonderful experience for these boys, and men and women interâ€" ested in boy life will find much to learn in observing the sessions of the Parliament from the public galleries in the Legislative Chambers, during Christmas week.

Some 500 men are now engaged in various works in that section and the transmission lines are being installed in the Ontario mining district. A saw mill at Prince Rupert, wigh iarge timber tracts nearby held by the Prince Rupert Holding Co., Ltd., are reported to have been sold to a group of California and lowa capitalists for approximately $500,000.
