Eastern conservative news paper having used the old argument that it was the Industrial East that gave Tho West its railways and brought about the development of this part of the country id Toronto Globe remarks that there is an other Side to the question. It says the Prosperity of Tho Industrial East dates from the development of Vav is Lorn Canada and there is no doubt is largely duo to that development. In 1900, before the settlement of the West had advanced very far the product of the factories of Canada in 1910, after in years of rapid Settle ment of the West the factory pro duct was it went on increasing. I Raj in Tho War expansion was Over. It was estimates of the present production arc considerably Over three billion dollars a compared with less than half a billion the beginning of the Century. The popu lation of Toronto and Oiler Eastern Industrial can los grew rapidly dih ing the same period selecting new senators the appointment of or. W. A. Buchanan former Liberal of Lethbridge to Tho. Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the Lato senator Deveber is again urged by the Edmonton journal a conservative newspaper. It says unite As Many claims for Tho Kenul Orahim rendered vacant by the Cecal i of Hon. Or. Are being urged upon Ilia Federal government As that which has been open since i to death of Hon. Jean Cote. Tho is however that it l kinds it much easier to make a Choice in Hie first than in the Sec Ond Case. Qualifications of or. W. A. Buchanan who represented Lieth Bridge in the House of commons nature studies in Western Canada in the nights of August and september it is fascinating to listen in on the Calls messages of the Birds mysteriously migrating southward by Hamilton m.

The government clearly intended that tins was the c0mpiete and his services to both the parly and the province so sub Stantial that there should be no question about the appointment Gro ins to him if lie desires it. The minor persists that Hon. Philippe tons of Western. Canada that ship their n y be my Cote s successor Mcanin of the legislation and that All discrimination was to be removed in respect to Grain and flour going East. When or. Order to be quite sure asked if the crows nest rates reran in in Oxild apply to All set rain both or. Graham and or King positively Piini Rcd this intention. And when or. Manion referring to seem laments that had been made again asked do t understand that both amendments combined cover All Grain and flour going from the three Prairie provinces to the head of the for. Graham said the act having been passed it was incumbent on the railways o tile new schedules in accordance with the act. They did so Sipins out the crows nest rates on westbound commodities from Eastern canc a but they did not file new rates removing the differential complained of on Grain and flour. The purpose of the railways can Only be inferred from their Iii a in flip past. The discrimination which they established in Yard to lie westbound rates of the crows nest schedule when hey Ireri compelled to restore them in 1923 was undoubtedly amed at queering he. Whole crows nest agreement. They a very unsatisfactory situation and did manage finally top free from the rates on westbound commodities. Are the rail s trying the same kind game in respect to the rates on Braiu and flour do they propose to keep on fighting trying to ii acc trouble Over further discrimination with the Hope of even rally having the crows nest rates on Grain and flour wiped out the situation will be closely watched by the West and it May i assumed that All necessary Steps will be taken to see that the intention of parliament is made effective.

To those Young men who have sever seen the West before it is an interesting adventure. They travel aim Here from 1.500 to 2.500 Miles the simpler the better announcement is made by a provincial minister that the Manitoba income tax is being Well met. Hon. D. L. Mcleod municipal commissioner is credited with the state ment that ninety per cent of the amount of the tax assessed has been paid to Date. According to the news paper report of the matter inquiries elicited that the major Ity of the persons yet a assessed were Farmers the delay being the result of the difficulties Many experience in filling the present forms. Prience i Imus and themselves in a Section of j a. Simpler formula it is understood spacious country whose Nat i is under consideration which would obviate further trouble in this connection.

Proposals of the Senate committee noting the recommendation of the Senate committee which recently proposed an amalgamation of the two big railway 35 that the National railways should first of All be recapitalize from the Point of View of earning the to Ronto Star remarks that a writing1 Down of the capitalization to a reasonable about was advocated some years ago by sir Joseph Fla Velle and that it was advocated again by or. Crerar when Leader of. The progressive party. It Points out that now that this proposal for amalgamation comes up the first essential of the proposal is that the National railways be recapitalize and it. Goes on to say it is Clear that there could no amalgamation without that. It is equally Clear that there could be no Sale of the railways to a private company with out that. The great sums which Canada has spent and lost in the past in connection with railways is spent and lost and at this stage in our affairs it should go into the National debt. Regardless altogether of the pos sible merging or Selling of the National railways now or at any future time this Burden of the past which the. System cannot carry which no the migrations of our Birds have always one of the most fascinating studies and no by migration is quite so wonderful As the Story of the night migrants. This doubtless is because we Natu rally Are impressed by things that Are. Obscure and hidden from us. Our imagination runs with a free rein what we cannot see we must conjecture. What we know concern ing these mysterious migrations is not now a Patch on what we will eventually. Learn but we know that certain Birds go by Day and others Are never seen on their journeying because they move in the night and our Only evidence is the evidence of our ears or indirectly of our eyes when we find our migrants dead in places in which we know they perished in the the dullest among us May read the indirect evidence of these night passing of the smaller Birds. There is scarcely an autumn goes by that we do not pick up dead Birds in the City streets or find in the morning hitting in the City Trees or City Park a number of Birds that were not there the previous evening. They Carne in the night or dropped in at Dawn. At this time of year we Are liable to find Birds in All sorts of misfit places and this is because the travellers were journeying in to nth night and when overtaken by Dawn came Down to the nearest apparent Haven. We have All seen the crows Hawks ducks and geese sandpipers and Many others striking off for the Southland boldly bulling across the sky by Day but who Lias seen the rails Coots grebes and bitterns do ing the timid thrushes warblers and Small Fly catchers better far than any indirect Evi Dence of the few dead fall by the Wayside or the visitors to unwonted places is the direct evidence of a Good pair of. Ears. The Good ear that has been trained to listen sharply tuned to coach the messages from the sky of an August night can listen in to a Many stories and learn Una scarcely can Learned in any other Way. But this is. Only possible when the Lis Tener knows the voices of the Birds. Some much better than thers for. This listening on the messages from the sky. Birds travel on the Calm warm Moonlit nights but travel then mainly at a height that keeps them out of our reach. It is during or just before a night change tha Ong ago there be Irish regi ments in the French armies. Kemal Pasha president of the turkish Republic is divorced from its wife. The news stories about it 5lve no details and it remains in doubt whether Kemal divorced his or mrs. Kemal divorced him if she severed the Bond is it nol changed Days for Turkey Soliloquy even when the weather Good and travelling conditions at their Best the. Feathered pilgrims Are Given to calling Back and Forth across the sky As though to keep in touch with one another. The Bird student who Best knows the voices and Call notes of the Birds by Day will receive correctly the most messages when these immigrants Are passing in the dark. Therp Are certain groups of Birds that have voices so similar that perhaps no human ear May Hope to be keen enough to distinguish. All the warblers have almost the same that May be written As lisping whispering plaint that though far from loud carries Wel n the night silence. A dozen differ ent warblers give this note and when we hear it from the sky _ we can say warblers Ore that is about the end of it. Number of the sparrows a equally. Inscrutable. Their Call note is much like that of the warblers Alul May be Given As coarser stronger chirp than Warbler note and though not heard by night with anything like the fre Quency of the Warbler voice yet is common enough and denotes tha one. Or More. Of several kinds o sparrows May be journeying Ovar head. There Are Many other voices tha we May recognize unfailingly. The of Bobolink the liquid rip pie of the Bartram Sandpiper the of the alive backed Thrush the ringing whistle of the yellow legs the of the Lap am Longspur the of. The Black crowned Heron the of the Blue Rtese am some other Calls May not be mis taken and All May be heard comln0 Froni the heavens during the night of August or september. There a other j Birds though that alway seem to pass in dead silence an give n Ever a hint of their passing. This hidden migration by the Small Birds necessitating night Navi gallon of the heavens has stirred up much wonder and conjecture a.
