Canada from Coast to Coast CANADIAN M.P.P. BIDS BRITONS EMIGRATE Halifax, N.S. A member of tht Federal Fisheries Dept has been sent to Yarmouth and Shelbourne counties to conduct a further inquiry in regard to the advisability of changing the lobster fishing season. The question of changing the season so that fishing may be permitted in the winter or fall has been constantly raised and it Is confidently expected that a settlement will soon be made. St. John, N.B. The Canadian Inde- pendent Oil Co. which have two large oil tanka at Courtenay Bay are now erecting additional tanks, one large one with capacity of 187,000 gallons for fuel oil and four small ones each with a capacity of 40,000 gallons for gasoline and lubricating oils. Quebec, Que. What is considered an Important departure In marine af- fairs is the departure of a coastwise vessel which took a large cargo and a number of passengers for Newfound- land. The present trip is more in the nature of an experiment to determine the possibilities of a trade between Quebec, Montreal, and the west coast of Newfoundland. There is at present no line of vessels engaged in this trade and the provincial government is said to be keenly interested in the result of the venture. Ottawa, Ont The Soldier Settle- ment Board has compiled crop produc- tion reports on 18,216 soldier settlers' farms for the season of 1922. They show a total of field, orchard and gar- den crops amounting to $15,966,203. Eighty-one per cent of the settlers had a farm garden, 79 per cent, had milch cows, 43 per cent, brood sows and 77 per cent, poultry. They ac- counted in the year for the raising of 7,594,018 bushels of wheat and 6,- 480,731 bushels of oats. Winnipeg, Man. What is conceded to be the largest steer yet seen in the Winnipeg stock yards was sold during last week. The animal weighed 3,170 pounds and sold for $250, the highest price brought at local yards since the war. The animal, which came front a Walnwright Alberta, ranch stood six feet at the withers and is destined, for a while at least, to be a side show at- traction. Regina, Saak. It is estimated by the Provincial Government that Sas- katchewan has 12,332,000 acres devot- ed to wheat this year and 5,098,000 acres to oats.

Tourists from the United States registering at the Calgary auto camp have purchas- ed lands in Alberta and are remaining to engage in farming. Twelve holi- daymakers in the past month purchas- ed farms in the province and one bought four for himself and his sons. So far 4,600 tourists have registered at the civic auto camp, many of them arriving via the new Banff-Winder- mere road. Field, B.C. Having completed one of the most spectacular crossings of the Rockies, occupying 26 days, an expe- dition organized by the Apalacian Mountain Club of the United States have arrived at Jasper Park. The ex- pedition headed by Dean Peabody of Boston left this point journeying with a pack train of sixty-five horses across the highest passes of the Rockies, through 250 miles of mountain terri- tory seldom traversed and never be- fore by any expedition of this kind. There are nine men and eight women in the expedition.

Bar Associa- tion In Montreal early in September, will be one of the guests of honor at a banquet tendered by the Govern- ment. Estimates of $1,000,000 of terri- torial revenue for the province of New Brunswick in 1923 will be fully realized by the end of the fiscal year on October 31st, according to a state- ment made by the Minister of Lands and Mines. The Minister further tated that indications point to a busy season in the woods during the com- ing fall and winter. ONE WEEK'S FIRES DESTROYS 56 YEARS Forests of Ontario Will b De- pleted in Twenty Years, Says Robson Black. A despatch from Port Arthur, Ont.,: says: "Forest fires in Ontario during the past summer have destroyed five to ten times the amount of timber put to use by all the mills in the province,"; declared Robson Black, manager of the Canadian Forestry Association, who is at the head of the lakes arrang- ing details of a three months' com- paijrn in Northern Ontario in the in- terests of fire prevention. Mr. Black states he had the report of one company that lost $500,000. cords of pulpwood due directly to, oarelci'sri'ss of prospectors setting out fires in the woods. One other com-. pany lost fifty million feet of pine. ! Perhaps the most serious loss of any. was that in which an Ontario firm' lost in one week's time enough pino to keep the company's mill goimf, for fifty-six years. "We have come to the point where we have got to face the coid facts with regard to forest fire prevention. At the present rate of waste the forests of Ontario will be depleted in twenty years," said Mr. Black. "If fires con- ! tinue at the rate of this summer, On- 1 tario is going to face a large exodus i of population attached to the v/ood ! users. It will mean that scorif of i towns in the province will ceas> to i exist as towns which are now dcpend- i ent on the product of the forest f Dr j existence." Mrs. Mary Ellen Smith, of Bri- tish Columbia, on Visit to London. A despatch from London says: Among many distinguished visitors to London is Mrs. Mary Ellen Smith, "Our Mary Ellen," she is called in British Columbia, who claims to be the first woman In the world to take her husband's seat in Parliament This happened during the war, when Mr. Smith, the Financial Minister in the Government of British Columbia, died and his wife, contesting his seat in Vancouver, entered Parliament by a majority of more than 3,000 over her nearest opponent Mrs. Smitn is over here on a mis- sion from the Canadian Government to persuade more Britons to emigrate to that Dominion.

MARIE, PILLAR OF THE "LITTLE ENTENTE" Puts One Daughter on Throne at Athens, Another at Bel- grade, Third Destined for Bulgaria. A despatch from Paris says: j While he still refuses to be swayed from his stand in the Ruhr by British statesmen, Premier Poincare could not resist the determined appeals of a wo- 1 man in the interest of her children, j While Prime Minister Baldwin and ; Lord Curzon continue their unavailing efforts to induce a change in French policy on reparations, Queen Marie of Roumania, the most diplomatic sover- eign in Europe, has succeeded in a few minutes' conversation in inducing M. Poincare to depart from his policy , of neutrality in regard to Greece, j where her daughter now reigns next to her husband, George II. Careful manoeuvring by this wise woman diplomatist has at last borne fruit in the announcement that France is about to recognize the sovereigns now watching over the destinies of i Greece. ' The persuasive powers of this wo-' NEW PROPOSAL TO AVOID HARD COAL STRIKE HAS THREEFOLD BASIS A despatch from Harrlsburg, Pa., gays: Governor Plnchot has submit- ted to representatives of the anthra- cita miners and operators, in joint conference, a proposed basis of settle- ment, providing for a 10 per cent, in- crease in pay, recognition of the eight-hour day for all employees, and full recognition of the union by the operators, without the check-off, but with the right to have a union repre- sentative present when the men are paid. The three main points of the scheme of settlement were set forth as fol- lows: (1) Recojrniton of the basic eight- hour day for all employees. If longer hours are necessary at certain times. or In certain occupations, the overtime be paid for at the eight-hour rate. (2) A uniform increase of 10 per cent, to all employees, this increase to take affect September 1. | (8) Full recognition of the union by the operators, without the check- . off, but with the right to have a union representative present when the men are paid. A fourth point proposed complete! recognition of the principle of -ollec- tivf bargaining. The Governor also suggested that, as a method of settling differences in case of disagreement between minors nd operators, each aide select .1 man agreeable to both to attend and take part in discussions, but without a vote, and not as an umpire or referee. If then unable to agree, he proposed the differences be referred to the Con- ciliation Board, "which will be pro- vided with whatever equipment is necessary for the rendering of prompt decisions." In opening his address the Governor said: "My justification for proposing a basis upon which I believe this strike can be prevented, with justice to all parties, is threefold. "First that thi? controversy h-xs continued until a chance of agreeirent by direct negotiations by the miners and operators has been lost. "Second, that the interest of the miners, the operators and the public all require that this controversy shall be settled without a strike. "Third, that the public is entitled to a voice in the discussion, end the rights of the people generally deserve consideration, at least, as much as these of the miners and operators." He declared he based his proposals upon information assembled f rom op- erators, miners and Government ex- perts, with the belief that they afford a basis for settlement reasonable and juf.t. He then outlined his plan for a set- tlement, r.dding, that he did not regard ; the question of the open or closed shop as at issue in the controversy. I After expressing the opinion that an agreement on the terms suggested should cover a term of one year, Gov- ernor Pinchot discussed the wago queition in detail. "The whole body of wage rates in the anthracite field," ho said, "is anti- quated, haphazard and honey-combed with inequality. It needs revision. I suggest that the Anthracite Concilia- tion Board be authorized by the Joint Wage Scale Committees to undertake and complete within a year a thorough revision."

That a much larger quantity of pulp wood is being worked up in Canada than in former years is evident from a comparison of the figures for 1022, as compared with those for 1921. In 1922 the total cut of pulp -wood was 3,923,940 cords, of which 74.2 ptr cent, wus used at home, and 25.8 per cent, or 1,011.332 cords were exported to ^he United Statss.
