Grafton, Close on 400 miles of branch line construction in Saskatchewan and Alberta have been virtually completed up to December 1st by the Canadian Pacific Railway, according to a report from headquarters. On 282 miles of this construction grain from the current year's : harvest is being taken out, and j while work is closed down at this j. date on most of them, there r.ro .; still some on which bridge and other construction work is being proceeded About 300 carloads of Christmas trees will be delivered to the trade from the Province of Quebec from the end of November onward, according to indications of traffic received at Canadian Pacific Railway headquarters. This will mean about 500,000 trees of a value of about $150,000 to the farmers of this province. The average size of the trees tor the New York and Boston markets is about C feet. They I are mostly white spruce and b-ii-sam of the "weed tree" variety j which is of prolific growth and i little commercial value. Edmonton.--Northern Alberta's . Biggest farm land deal this year was j completed the other day when the well-known Trent Farm was sold to : a colony of Mennonites fcr more I than $126,000.

Passengers on the "Empress of Australia" now touring the world had a memorable experience when they witnessed brilliant military manoeuvres near the Grand Pyramid initiated by King Fuad of Egypt-, in honor 'of the visit of King AmanuTlah of Afghanistan. Some of the passengers were subsequently received at King Fuad's court. Toronto.--An optimistic note with regard to the market for Canadian bacon was struck by A. J. Mills, representative of the British Ministry of Food in conference with packers here. He expressed the conviction that Canadian farmers would be very poorly advised to slacken in hog production at the present time, stating that an improvement in the British market was in sight, with many of the countries which had been flooding Britain with bacon during the past year being practically out of the business. With around a thousand guests seated in the Ball Room, the Main Dining Room and the Jacques' Car-tier Room of the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec City, that famous hotel presented a remarkable scene on the occasion of the New Year's Eve festivities. Among the guests were the Governor of New Jersey and officials of the state, while important parties came up from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago and other cities of the United States. |VA ount Assiniboine, one of the r magnificent peaks in all the Canadian Rockies, has been definitely placed on the tourist map as result of the recent annual expedi tion of the Trail Riders, who have just completed their most ambitious The Assiniboine district is considered by the few that have visited it, to surpass in beauty anything in the mountains. The mountain itself, which is frequently referred to as th> "Matterhorn of the Canadian Rockies" towers many thousand feet above the surrounding alps and little lakes which are set like jewels among the hills. It was discovered less than two score years ago, but has only been known heretofore to the more adventurous mountaineers. This year's Trail Ride has proved that Assiniboine and the wonderful country surrounding it, is accessible to almost anyone. The Riders, who left Banff on August fourth on the highest, longest and most interesting ride in the history of their organization, broke new trails into an almost unknown country. The route they took has been unused for more than twenty ipfire at Sunshine Camp. years and lies over a pass 9,000 feet high which had been crossed by very few people and no women. The first camp was made on Brewster Creek and the next day's ride was taken over a pass 9,000 feet in height on a trail which was specially re-cut this year for the annual Trail Ride by the Commissioner of Parks. On their way to Assiniboine which was reached on the evening of the second day the Riders travelled well-above the timber line. At the very foot of Assiniboine's mighty glacier on the shores of the sapphire Lake Magog, they made their second camp, where they were received by the Marquis D'Albizzi who has opened up ji new Dude Ranch at Assiniboine, and who catered for the Trail Riders during their stay there. The stay lasted two days, while the Riders explored the surrounding country; artists hied themselves to the heights with their easels; the energetic essayed the lower slopes of Mount Assiniboine; while others contented themselves with glimpses of lake and glacier from lower levels. The return route lay through the wild and weird monoliths of the Valley of the Rocks, a barren deso- late area in which the only sign of life is the occasional shrill whistle of a startled marmot, and over another high pass up a tortuous 3,000 foot ascent. From this pass, the trail ran through mountain uplands covered with meadow grass and dotted with a profusion of Alpine flowers. High Citadel Pass is the name of this plateau which lies high above many minor and is completely surrounded by major peaks. The climax of the trip was the Pow-Wow held at Sunshine Camp on the last night of the Ride. The Riders gathered around the camp fire in Sun Dance Tepee which had been decorated with fantastic Indian drawings. Guides in their woolly chaps and colored kerchiefs, famous mountaineers, artists, writers, professional men and society women from this continent and the old country joined in singing Trail Riders' songs. At the annual festivities of the Trail Riders, J. M. Wardle, superintendent of Parks was re-elected president of the organization, and Walter D. Wilcox, noted author and explorer of the Rockies for more than thirty years, was made a vice-
