Oldest Inhabitant Dies in Province of Alberta The party was enlarged during the morning by thirty members of the botanical section, who joined the train at Timagami. They had spent the week-end in the Timagami Govern- ment forest reserve as guests of the Ontario Government. Guides took them over the entire district, and, in addition to collecting valuable speci- mens of Canadian plant life, they had the opportunity of inspecting several areas of virgin white pine They were all much impressed with the variety and the virility of the flora in the Canadian woods. King George Has Again Become Grandfather Touring Members of British Association Visit Mining Camps. The silver mines of Northern On- tario interested the delegates to the! British Association for the Advance-i ment of Science while on their way to v Vancouver in two special trains overl the Canadian National Railways. Both Cobalt and Swastika were visited, and in both places the mines, the mills and everything else that goes into the development of mineral wealth in these sections were thrown wide open for their inspection. Cobalt was reached during the morn- ing, the trains arriving 20 minutes I apart, and arrangements were so peh; feet that large fleets ot automobiles were waiting at the station for both trains. The visitors were driven about the town, and were then distributed among the various mines and mills in small parties so that each member was afiorded ample opportunity of seeing exactly the manner in which opera- tions are carried on, and of asking such questions as he found necessary. To the geological section particular-1 ly the program proved of unbounded interest. Their eagerness was unlimit- ed. and it is doubtiul if so many peo- ple ever accumulated so much authen- tic information in such short time, and it should be a matter of consider- ble pride and satisfaction to Cana- dians to know that, with out exception, these experts, who have studied and visited mines and mining in all cor- ners of the world were outpokcn in their enthusiasm of the mineral wealth of this district and in their ap~ prove] of the methods of its develop- ment. The party was enlarged during the Viscount Grey of Fallodon, who has retired from the position of leader of the Liberals in the House of Lords. ~â€"â€"6.â€".__ Refrigeration Newest Way of Combatting the Moth Moth balls and lavender bags now are out of date as a means of getting rid of moths, says a London despatch.

After this treatment it is said anv Mr. Kemp said that conditions in Ontario were good and this also ap- plied to Quebec, the Maritime Prov- inces and British Columbia. There was every reason for the people of the West to be optimistic. “The banks have the best feeling for the farmers," said Mr. Kemp. “and bankers still have plenty of confidence in the West. All that is necessary for people to be a little bit careful. work hard, use what they have to the best of their ability and by practising the same spirit of economy as has been evident during the last few years and things are bound to come out for the best.” every reason for the people of the West to be optimistic. “Crops throughout the prairie prov- inces on the whole are satisfactory and there is every indication that the return will be better than was expectâ€" ed a few weeks ago,” he said. “All the Western towns I have visited so far appear very active.” N.
