It is known that the Great Northern lias loen closely watching develop- ments ia western Canada for some time. a<i there is considerable likeli- hood of mid-Western freight ship- meut.i moving through to Hudson Ray. The extent to which American grain shipui-jnu might find a profitable exit through Fort Churchill has already re- ceived much study from the railroad inlci-'-htK -concerned. As final condi- tioning will be made on the Hudson Bay Ilailroad this spring, it is expect- ed that regular service wil be avail- able to the port by August. In vi<!w of this, four elevators with a ca->a.;ity of 2,000,000 bushels each are b1ns planned for Churchill har- bor. Work on the first of these will commence early in the spring. At the same time the dredging of the harbor will l.-n ruKiimed. The dock already built there has an approach of twenty- five f.-ot of water. It is intended that this shall be deepened to thirty-five feet. Work on extending the docks will also be pushed. It is expected that approximately 3.000,000 yards of grave! will bt- required for the fillin,,'- in operation i > the water-front area.

There are a consider- able number of stations In the Domini- on, but the reports indicated that they cannot support themselves by adver- tising programs, as 1u the United States, in t!)e majority of instances, and fear was expressed that the heavy expense incident to the opera- tion of the stations would eventually result in tho (.-Ionia? down of many of them, leaving the Canadian audience with little radio entertainment other than that received from the United State The commission recommended that broadcasting be placed on a basis of j public service, that a provincial direc-l tor should be appointed for each pro- ' vince, to have full control of pro-! grams broadcast In his leritory, and that he be aided by a provincial advis- ' ory council on radio and broadcasting.

Existing broadcast-', ing stations, all of which would be , put out of operation or converted into auxiliary stations under the plan, would be taken over by the govern- ment and their owners compensated.

Wilson, Toronto, secretary, said the "hard-earned money of farm boys and girls should be protected affiiinst the fakir and the Rambler, i Who arc allowed the use of the fail- grounds by defiance of the law." "It is said without these wheels of fortune, dice games, pools and so- called amusements a fair cannot be financed," said Mr. Wilson. "If that is ao, then it is better if the Fair went out of lusiness or else have the Legis- lature wipe out the law. 1 ' Duncan Marshall, former Minister of Agriculture for Alberta, said a well- known oil company is prepared to spend $50,000 toward an educational campaign- t.> aid Ontario farmers in the eradication of weeds, n problem which he termed "one of the greatest now confronting Canadian Agricul- ture." "You must follow modern fcientific rules or you are not going*" to getany- where," he continued.

Their horses, save four, were bred iu the East, and are all young, i being from five to six ycrtrs old. The j training, at present, confined to daily morning drives on long reins, followed later by driving under riders, will gradually become moro intensive and varied so that when the detachment makes it* appearance at the show from June 18 to 28, inclusive, It will present u program of horsemanship, including Roman ridini?, musical rides, vaulting and drills.

The (inickoniilg of product ion in practically all lines of industry is con- sidered by eeonomisMs to J)n largely due to an increased supply of power and a widening of its uses. Special significance therefore attaches to the fact that with undertakings brought into operation last year and with those which are either under active con- struction or are being studied for ear- ly development, a steadily increasing flow of low-cost hydros-led rl power is upsuri'd for Canadian industrial en- terprises for sonii! >'H.ir.

Believed Silver Plane Carries Liquor from Winnipeg to North Dakota Winnipeg. Reports have mac-lied hero from Pembina, North Dakota, that another aerial runi-riinuer has en- gaged in the traffic in liquor between Manitoba and thu United States. The silver plane which was report- ed to have made use of Winnipeg fly- ing fields in October last has, report* say, been seen again, but this time it has not ventured to the city. The Pembina story is in the effect that the plane landed there on Tues- day about three miles outside the town. It came from Canada. Bofore town officials could get to it th>: ma- chine took to tlie*air and flew south- erly. At Iho siiniu time ;ui automobile was seen to leave the planes side and con- tinue on the road in the direction of St. Paul. Kxaminatiou of the field where (h piano landed showed that boxes about the size of whiskey cases had rested on the snow probably while being transferred from the plane in which, officers are inclined to think, liquor was brought from Canada, to the automobile, which, if their theory is correct took thf cargo further in- ward its destination. Kiuntiries made in Winnipeg as to whether the plane had been seen her brought no information of value. No pi-rsou couid lie found who saw. Krom the .Manitoba Liquor Commission it was learned that no large purchases of liquor were made on that day. but there were many transactions, all to permit -holders, wh.-ro snul- cases were involved. MOM of the pun iia..es liave been checked and still have their liquor so it is doubtful if the plane'.-: liquor cargo, if that was its nature, was se- cured here.
