Lavish Use of Words | When Legislature Sits Edmonton, Alta.--The session of the Alberta legislature / that has just passed into the annals of hist- ory released upon the air at least 1,120,000 words. And that does not take into account numerous committee meetings. Apart from them the legislative session, which ran into its ninth week, was a wordy event. There were 44 sittings o! the house, which would approximate 140 hours of actual working time. On good talking days--which means pretty nearly always--any respect- able and well lubricated legisla- ture can discharge, produce and ut. ter a minimum of 8000 words an hour, Multipling 140 (hours) by 8000 (words) we get, arithmetically, a grand total of 1,200,000 words as the combined verbal discharge of the session. On the basis of sessional indem- nities for 63 members it figures out to exactly 11,20 cents a word, which is a higher rate than any newspaper in Canada pays for space rates--and words quite as godd. But at that, the Alberta legisla- ture doesn't seem to be unique, Close to 250,000 words were deliv- ered in the first ten days of the par- liament at Ottawa, LARGE FLOCKS OF GEESE GATHER OX WESTERN PLAINS Thousands Are Tracing Northward March of Spring Across Prairies (By the Canadian Press)' Winnipeg, Man., April 31.--Fore. runners of vast flocks estimated at close to a million, wild geese in thelr thousands are tracing the northland march of spring across the prairies with a mighty migra- tion to the tundras of the Arctic. I"eeding on prairie stubble, west of Winnipeg, several thousand of these winged vagrants are resting before resuming their long annual flight to Baffin Land, nort of Hud- son Bay, their spring nesting grounds. (Geese of several specie made up |' the flock, including the well known Canada goose, the blue goose and several sub-species known to sports men as "Waves." They are distri- buted over a large section of the country ranging west from Rosser, Grosse Ile, and Stonewall to Rea- burn, Marquette and Woodlands district. They are most numerous between the Assiniboine river and the Shoal Lake sanctuary, to the north. Naturalists who annually watch the migration of these birds declare that within the next week or two the flocks dally will be augmented until by the eud of April the maxi- mum concentration of geese on the North American continent will be found in this region. In addition to the geese there are a few of the rare whistling swans to be found in thq areas by fortu- ate observers. During the past ten days annual migration of the smaller birds has been in full swing and, in 'many cases, observers report, the birds. are several days in advance of the regular arrival dates. This probably is the result of the continued flue weather that the west has enjoyed, Provinelal police and honorary game wardens are patrolling the areas selected by the geese for thelr concentration camp, to pro- tect them from the out-of-season hunter. BARTER SYSTEM WAS SUCCESSFUL Alberta Dealer Traded Cars for Horses and Made Money Even in the sale of as modern a product as the automobile, the ancient practice of barter is re- gorted to, by the enterprising salesman. At least, it was only through barter that the Stony In- dians of the Morley Reserve in High River are now able to drive a whole fleet of cars about the plaing and foothills of Alberta. / J. G. Campbell, McLaughlin- Buick and Pontiac salesman at High River, conceived the idea of disposing of his used car stock to the Stony Indians. Although the time was far removed from the heart of the city. Today, Armstrong's Point con- tains fine homes and quiet drive- ways and is valued at $1,600,000, Redmen had no money, they had plenty of good serviceable horses and once sufficient contidence was established with them, five cars were exchanged for twice as many horses. In the course of a few months, forty cars were disposed of to the Stony Tribe. Campbell. had the horses thus acquired put up at auction at the agnual High River sale, and when final figures were compiled, a sub- stantial profit was shown on the transaction with the natives, PORT ARTHUR ROAD RACE T0 BE HELD AGAIN THIS YEAR Times-Journal 10-Mile Event Is Outstanding Running Classic (By the Canadian Press) Port Arthur, Ont,, April 21--0One of the few remaining foot races in Canada, the Dally Times-Journal annual 10-mile road race will be ronewed for the 21st year on Vie toria Day, May 24, colebrated, how- ever, this year on May 25, as the 24th falls on a Sunday.
