For the purpose of purchasing a memento. to be presented to Captain Samue!

Immigration from‘ the United States was 17,282, compared with 18.982, a decrease of nine per cent. _ Total immigration for the nineâ€"month period of 1923 was 124,â€" 680, compared with 60,247 in the same period in the previous year, an increase of 107 per cent. # a A W 4 s nine months ended 'I-jec‘éx;lber?, totâ€" glled 64,127, compared with 28,.525 CS 4 Official figures recently issued show that the Dominion of Canada is the greatest single contributor to the wheat supply of the world. She stands second only to the United States in automobile exports. Her flour exports are far ahead of the palmiest war years and are rapâ€" idly gaining in the foreign markets. Canada‘s mineral, forest, agriculâ€" tural and fisheries industries are now valued at $2,420,000,000, or $252,000,000 higher than a year ago. Alberta‘s butter production last year was 18,500,000 pounds, or 2,000,000 pounds more than in 1922, according to reports preserted at the annual meeting of the Alberta Dairymen‘s Association. It was not so long ago that Alberta was using butter imported from New Zealand. ing 1923 is estimated to be worth $40,000,000. _ At the beginning of the year it was not thought that anything like this mark would be reached, for the Fordney tariff had cut deeply into exports to the United States. But as the year wore on the demand and prices generally imâ€" proved, thus giving fishermen alonsg the Atlantic coast especially a much better price. Attention has been drawn once more by airship experts in Londonm, England, to the fact that the anly known supply of helium gas in the British Empire exists in the Provâ€" ince of Alberta, that 10,000,000 feet of this gas is going to waste anâ€" nually in ‘this province and that the possibility of establishing an airâ€" ship base at some future date in berta is being discussed.

The 1923 figâ€" ures are equivalent to about 900,000 tons of newsprint, the amount which can be manufactured from that amount of wood. The year 1923 was a favorable one in the building and construcâ€" tion activities of Canada, and reâ€" turns show an advance of about 10 per cent. In 1922 the total expendiâ€" tures in this regard‘*were $315,000,â€" 000, and in 1923 $345,000,000, an increase of . $30,000,000, A British immigration According to a statement recemtly: made by the Hon. Charles McCrea, Minister of Mines for the Province of Ontario, 85 per cent of the world‘s nickel supply is being taken out in the vicinity of Sudbury, where there is an inexhaustible supply of this metal. Although the Canadian Pacific Railway has yet issued no forécast of construction contemplated for 1924, the fact that it! has ordered! 50,000 tons of steel from the Algoma Steel Company, of Sault Ste. Marie. seems to indicate that its progrant will be extensive, worl for the dances, the numerous encores, and the extras that were requested by a large number of those present. Two feature dances were held, a Confetti Dance Fox Trot in the first half. of the programme and a Balloon Dance Fox Trot during the second half. These dancees were much onâ€" joyed.
