He id The Forty-five years of faithful vice to the Canadian Pacific Railway were honored recently when George A. Fowler, former lumber agent of the company, was presented by George Stephen, freight traffic manager, with a purse of gold, contributed by Mr. Fowler's colleagues in the railway's freight traffic offices east of Chioaao in the United States and east of For* William in Canada. Fergus.--A special train of 88 cams left for "Vancouver and points •n route the other day with over 11,000 consignments of washing machines and barn equipment. This trainload, the largest of its kind ever to originate in Canada, is from a Fergus firm and was handled by the Canadian Pacific Railway as a special train, stopping at Fort William, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Calgary, Immigrants are beginning to pour through the port of Saint John and Montreal en route to Ontario and the West. With the arrival of Canadian Pacific liners Montelare and Montnairn recently, in the neighborhood of 600 settlers of the best type have been distributed. Among these were British farm laborers going to selected farms under the scheme of the Canada Colonization Association, and many more will be coming in during the next few months. Bee keeping m oasKavcneTTBn made marked progress in 1927, there being an increase of 45 per cent in the number of colonies over those of 1926 and an increase of 191 percent in the 1927 honey crop over that of the previous year. The number of spring colonies in 1927 was 3,803 which increased to 5,962 by the fall count. The production of comb honey for the year was 64,042 pounds and of extracted honey 436,-932 pounds, making an average production per colony of 148% pounds. Airplanes are now being used to herd vast numbers of reindeer in the big Arctic stock farms, according to Ralph Lomen, pioneer of the reindeer industry of Alaska. "It's a new idea and it's not being practiced regularly, but herding by airplanes seem feasible," said Mr. Lomen. "Our head herdsman went out recently and in two hours accomplished as much as would otherwise have required a week with six men. There is room for 12,000,000 reindeer in the northern tundra of Canada and such a herd would be worth $50,000,000. It could be done in 50 years if Canada started now in a modest way." condensed ads c Keeping Physically Fit in Mid-Ocean id The : ^ctual sales of Canadian Pacific Rfilway farm lands for the first three months of the year have been dottble those of the corresponding period of 1927. Enquiries for farm lands generally have increased in the, same proportion. Quebec, Quebec. -- The mineral production of the Province of Quebec for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1928, will be well In excess of $30,000,000 if the activity continues, according to a statement from the Provincial Department of Mines, Just issued. Saint John.--The Maritime Provinces can find a good market in South and West Africa for their manufactured and natural products, according to D. J. S. Tyrer, who ra-cently returned from there. A vast trade, he claimed, could be worked up ln salt fish. Vernon.--For the first time in the history of bee-keeping in British Columbia one bee-keeper in the Okanagan Valley has exported a rull carload of honey from his own hives. His 260 colonies gave him an average of 175 pounds of honey per colony. Ottawa.--A survey will be made this year for a Canadian air mail route between Montreal and Winnipeg. This will consist of determining the best routes and locating landing fields. Recent announcement of four air mail contracts between points in Eastern Canada forecast more extensive operations along this line at an early date. Midland, Ont--For the first time in the history of this progressive town, a through Canadian Pacific train left here early in May for Toronto, and the first C. P. R. through train arrived from Toronto later in the day. A bottle of champagne was broken across the fender of the C. P. R- locomotive as it pulled out of Midland. Ski-ing in July and August will be a prominent featurs of the combined winter and summer camp to be operated in the Canadian Rockies under the shadow of Mount Assiniboine by Marquis N. degli Albizzi The winter sport is made possible by the fact of a huge glacier that runs down the slopes of the mountain. Summer sports of variety will also be possible at the camp, which is one of the beauty spots of that part of the Rockies traversed by the Canadian Pacific. Agymnasium < p nrtvfllt.v. an ocean liner is no longer { novelty. The floating palaces of today which cross the mighty oceans between Canada and the Orient and Canada and Europe have gone one better than the best hotels. There are hotels in this country that can invite their guests to baths in private swimming-pools; but how many of them can offer the busy man or woman the use of a'gymnasium? "How to keep fit at sea?" Board one of the famous "White Empresses", bound for the Orient from Vancouver, or cross from Quebec to Southampton by an "Empress of the Atlantic". These liners have gymnasiums on board, and you will have no reason to fear the consequences of a period of enforced leisure. On the Pacific the "Empress of Oanada", "Empress of Asia" and "Empress of ' Russia", have gymnasiums which are in all respects like those of the three Atlantic Empresses. Spacious ; rooms, with excellent ventilation, and fitted with the . latest equipment for almost every phase of athletic exercise. In addition, the Empress of Canada and the Empress of Australia have swimming pools, which are in the first rank of those to be found on board sea-going ships. The apparatus with which the gymnasiums of the ships of the Canadian Pacific line are fitted is varied and diverting. The "horse" and the "camel" are perhaps the most popular among the machines-. When travelling on the "Empress of Australia" and the "Empress of Scotland" to and from Canada this I summer the Prince of Wales rode many imaginary ' miles on the comfortable back of the "horse" and also on the "camel's" hump. These beasts are electrically controlled, and when the current is switched on the "horse", which is properly saddled and has crupper . and stirrups, proceeds to emulate thi right--The rieht-- Mailing "use of the ship-! swimming coal. horse in motion, and gives the rider a real and pleasant sensation of horse-back riding The speed can ■be increased from a walk to a trot, from a trot to a canter, and from a canter to a gallop; but the "horse" is always a gentle beast and never throws his rider. The "camel" machine is as popular as the "horse". The "camel" functions in a similar manner to the horse, but performs the rolling motion peculiar to the "ships of the Sahara". The "came!" usually works overtime when the Round the World and Mediterranean Cruise Empresses are nearing Egypt, the ladies especially being anxious to accustom themselves to riding on the hump of a camel. There are bicycle machines in the gymnasium of the Empresses. These are fitted with dials which record distances travelled up to 500 metres. Bicycles are placed side by side, which offers the possibilities of racing competitions. Rowing machines, pulley-machines, which test the strength and develop the muscle, are amongst the apparatus with which the gymnasiums are equipped, and boxing-gloves, medicine-balls, punch-balls, foals, single-sticks, and indian clubs, provide boxers, fencers, and indian-cluib artists amongst the passengers with every opportunity of indulging in their favorite pastime. The gymnasiums themselves are spacious rooms, well ventilated, and fitted with electric fans which help to keep the air always fresh. During certain hours the rooms are reserved for the exclusive use of the lady passengers. A physical instructor is on duty m the gymnasiums during the regular hours. He instructs passengers in the use of the machines, and during the longer voyages and winter cruises made by the Empresses, classes for physical exercises are frequently held. Toronto,--Premier G. H. Ferguson announces that the Government has signed a contract with the Canadian Pacific Railway for the supplying of two additional cars to be used as "travelling schools" in the outlying districts of the province. We cars will be equipped in Winnipeg and both will run out of Fort William, operating between that city and Superior Junction. At present two :axs are in operation, both in Northern Ontario. Not only children of trappers and railway workers, etc., receive instructions in these trave.ling schools but night classes are rrunged for adults.
