NEW RECORD FOR WHEAT IN CANAL A new record of wheat transportaâ€" tion through the _Welland Canal was established this year, when 1,919,584 tons of wheat were carried through the locks from Port Colborne to Port Dalhousie on their way to the seaâ€" board." Last year‘s marks was 1,752,â€" 458 tons, which constituted the formâ€" er record. This increase in wheat sh‘pments was largely responsible for the showing of a substantial increase in the total tonnage carried, which, to the end of November, totalled 361,â€" 740 tons. Other Increases All of the grain shipments with the exception of corn and flax, showâ€". ed material increase. The total movement of grain eastbound in bushels was 91,585,612, as . compared with 85,407,546 bushels last year. Of this quantity 63,829,328 bushels of wheat was trangported through the Canal in 1923 as compared with 53,â€" 717,852 bushels in 1922; oats, 11,820;â€" 537 in 1923 and 7,348,284 in 1922; barley, 6,670,007 in 1923 and 3,501,350 in 1922; rye, 6,065,142 bushels in 1923, and 4,828,144 in 1922; corn, 2,959,098 in 1923 and 15,541,337 in 1922, and flax 251,500 in 1923 and 471,079 bushels in 1922. f Soft coal shinments showed a large increase totalling 589,341 to the end of November, an increase of 306,362 tons over the same period a year ago.

There was a hall full of interested ratepayers at the Clinton Township nominations on Monday afternoon, and as a result quite an array of asâ€" pirants for reeve and council are waitâ€" ing for the barrier to lift. Exâ€"reeve Kemp, M.L.A., gave an inâ€" teresting resume of the past year‘s financial â€"operations of the County Council, and the various other candiâ€" dates talked purely township politics. As was anticipated, R. A. Gibson, Harve Book and T. R. Gilmore are breezing up for the reeveship. Exâ€" councillor S. H. Culp, who was an exâ€" pected started, failed to materialize in the list of nominees, either by an oversight of his friends or the careâ€" lessness of the councillor himself in not securing a nomination. S.â€" H. Shields gets the deputyship by acclamation; he was also nominated for reeve. â€" _ On the council slate are Alex. Groff, Frank Howell, Ernie Patterâ€" son, Vernon Coon, Norman Bartlett and Clayton W. Culp. NO ELECTION IN BEAMSVILLE In Beamsville a very fair interest was taken in nominations and when the speaking began there were a couâ€" ple of hundred in the hall. j Reeve. A. J. Trevelyan goes back, unopposed, a gift from the ratepayers for the energy he has shown on behalf of corporation interests the> past year. : Last night those who had qualified for seats on the council were Charles Garlett, Claude W.

' Eight nominations iwvere put in for the four vacancies on the Board of Education and none of these had qualified at nine â€"o‘clock last night. Theéy: are S. _ F.:â€"Russ, Geo. â€" Tinlin, Gilbert Young, John Trevelyan, Chas. Watterworth, Dr. J. B. Stallwood, E. C. Jemmett and S.~]J. Wilson. Timely topics, such as the high school situation and a more adequate water supply were matters that abâ€" sorbed nearly three hours of the rateâ€" payers‘ attention. . Dr. Stallwood and J. B. Fzairbairn took up the cudgels for the Board of Educationâ€"on the urgent necessity of more accommodaâ€" tion at ‘the earliest possible time. C. W. Tufford, Chairman of the Water Works Committee of the Council, outâ€" lined two plans the council have in mind to relieve the water situation. One is another storage reservoir on the mountain or as an alternative, a pumping plant at the lake. The latâ€" ter plan rudely figured would cost the corporation thiftyâ€"five thousand dolâ€" lars.

Ct. Cathar‘nes, Dec. 27.â€"St. Cathâ€" arines, noted as the home of. radial development in Canada, and the secâ€" ond city on the continent to introâ€" duce radial transportation, may soon be the centre of a new moveâ€" ment in radial operation which will revolutionize the present system â€" of interurban travel. An intimation of this was given by Peter White, K. C., who represented Sir Henry Thornâ€" ton, Chairman of the board and Presiâ€" dent of the Canadian National Railâ€" ways, and Mr. E. W. Oliver, Manager of the Canadian National Electric Railways, at the laying of the cornerâ€" stone of the new passenger terminal here thig afternoon. Mayor Jacob Smith officially laid the stone, and in performing the ceremony drew attent‘on to the fact that the present network of radials in the Niagara Peninsula grew out of the old hotrseâ€"car line in St. Cathâ€" ar‘nes and the old St. Catharines Steam Railway. When these roads were amalgamated the whole was elecâ€" trified, and Canada was thus given its first radial road. Mayor Smith was presented with a silver trowel and Mrs. Smith a handsome bouquet of roses. 3 " aot aale An interesting feature of the cereâ€" mony was the inclusion in the corâ€" nerâ€"stone .of af box containing presentâ€" day records of, the road, ‘with timeâ€" tables, ticke’cifgtransfers and the serâ€" vice records 5f employees. Among the latter wers names of men who had grown old in‘the service and had worked upon |$he old steam road. Mr. White, I" opening his remarks, stated that hill believed that a new era ‘ inâ€" radi transportation â€" was dawning for $anada. He emphasized the fact thatg@ilir Henry Thornton was noted in Eng!W ad as an authority on radials, and tilkt he had given both his exng.riepc ‘an}i his energies in an toUntnthont nomenehenenononcnenenenenencnonehenenenenenenenenennenenenonenenoncroncaoncoooOhrGes+4 effort t problems§" whillh face the DomiHion.

It grew late, as so often it does, and he put the quietus on a discussion with the ponderous statement: "I don‘t read advertsiements. ~They have no effect on me at all. I‘d never miss them if they stopped printing ‘em." _ Then he glanced at his advertised watch and sought his In the morning the adâ€"ceptic contorted himself out of his advertised pyjamas into his advertised underwear, drew on his advertised socks, adjusted them with his advertised garters, got into his advertised clothes, laced his advertised shoes and added himself to the congestion in the washâ€"room.

Buttoning his adâ€" vertised collar on an advertised button, he neatly knotted his advertised tie, gave his advertised suspenders a tug or two, and finished dressing. lowerâ€"berth. ments! _ Everything worth using is advertised. Everything that isn‘t rarely is. ‘"There have been new developâ€" ments in both England and Sweden," continued Mr. White, "which may well transform the movement of subâ€" urban traffic. Sir Hemjy thou‘ght these developments were of sufficient importance to have a thorough examâ€" inalion of ~them made. These imâ€" provements are not only of a meâ€" chanical nature, and I think that I may say that if they are successful they may prove a revelation in the operation of radial roads. If the representatives who have gone to study this quesetion are satisfied with what they see and its application to Canada, it may be possible to develop not only a muchâ€"improved system on interurban and local lines of the old Niagara, St. Catharines & Toronto Railway, but to inaugurate practically an interurban service between Niaâ€" gara Falls, Hamilton and Toronto, by the use of present steam tracks, and that by a capital expenditure small in comparison to the advantages, and thereby afford an excellent service at a minimum of cost." Mr. White touched upon the fact that the St. Catharines shops have built motor radial cars for the Canaâ€" dian National Railways that are now in use both in the East and West, and have given excellent service. If the new proposals work out he could foresee big developments in the shops in the building of additional equipâ€" ment. "I am authorized to say that Sir Henry Thornton is most anxious to develop in the Niagara Peninsula a system of transportation which will equal anything in the country or upâ€" on the continent," he concluded. The new passenger terminal station is a handsome building of brick and stone of Coloni‘al design, and in its des‘gn embodies all the latest imâ€" provements in an upâ€"toâ€"date rad‘al station; it has a frontage of 146 feet and a depth of 40 feet. It will cost approximately $250,000 and is cenâ€" trally located. Seven tracks form its car accommodations. Besides the new passenger terminal, new freight sheds, constructed of brick, are also being erected a block away, with a trackage accommodation of three house tracks and mmine team tracks. _ _ | norribpilessre®wito "TOos pAT lil"tite ceremony of laying the cornerâ€"stone were: Rev.
