One of the most prominent fur farms in the west, at Bird's I-fill. Manitoba (near Winnipegl has been sold by the Hudson's" Bay Compiiny to Nels Andersen of Winnipeg. Mr. Andersen was pmpi-ietoi- of the largest meat packing establishment in the west ,I.nn)c years ago and also niarketcd fox foods of different kinds. We don't iow whether he is still in that bisiness or not but evidently he has faith in fur farming as the property he has purchased is an outstanding one. The build- ings. land. equipment and every- iiiing is first class and Mr. W. 0. Douglas, who was manager until illness hospitalized him. had a thorough knowledge of fur farm- ing and had brought the reputa- ilnll of Bird's Hill to n lilgh stan- tlnrti.

Mr. Douglas has had a varied rnrccr, being in the Royal Canad- ian Mounted Police for many wars and was thoroughly famil- mr with the Arctic. when he en- inrcd the employ of the Hudsonis Bay Company he visited their many posts in the north and then was sent here to take a course in illl'flll'l'l'1if1g at the McLure and M.'lCKlllllOl1 Silver Fox Farms,Ltd. He proved an apt pupil and later made good use of the information he got in the operation of Bird's l-lill ranch. There he had not only foxes but minlr, marten and fisher. He was one of the first men in the Dominion of Canada to successfully doiiiesticate niartcn and fisher and at various shows his fox and mink took their share of the honors.

. Q-

Perhaps the greatest credit as a fur farmer will be due to Mi. Douglas for his experiments with iisher. They are a dimcult on- imal to understand and to get the confidence of. but he proved it could be done and as we mention- ed before, made a success in breeding them. We deeply regret that his health has not been of the best and we trust in the near future he will be well back on the ioad to recovery. We congratulate Mr. Andersen in taking over the splendid property referred to above. He is a man with a great iiusiiicss capacity and keen jung- iiieiit of fur-bearing animals and we look to see Bird's Hill Ranch keep mi producing various types of furs of high quality.

An offering of 45,146 Great Lakes Mink Association ranch iiiink was reported 70 per ccpt sold last week at Lampton. Fraser .1: Huth's auction in New York City. it was regarded as one of the strongest sales of the year. The auction house repoitiiig states: "GLMA select ranch mink top males brought 345 for a lot. with medium blue underlur from the C. 0. Williams ranch. and it top of s22.5o for a lot of the same character females from the ranch of John Adkins. The offering was Tl) per cent sold with keen coni- pctitioii throughout for the best mods. The sale attracted perhaps the largest audience of the year nt. Lampson's as the trade showed its eagerness to bid on what was generally described as a ,top quality offering of ranch mink.

Bidding was hot. and heavy and shortly after the sale commenced and continued until adjournment in the afternoon. Though many in the trade t expected a fairly strong sale because of the high quality of the goods on the block. they were somewhat puzzled by the fervor of many of the bidders. The view was that the choice merchandise brought the highest prices of any sale this year al- though levels for this type of goods was still 10 to 15 percent below the high of 1951.

One veteran dealer expressed the sentiment of many when he said. "I cannot understand the sudden optimism of the trade in view of present conditions. We still have a struggle to make ev- ery sale and when the goods reaches 335 it is just too impos- sible to close a. deal. Male pelts showed the greatest strength in the 320 to 625 range and in the 525 to 830 bracket. Females sold mostly between 39 and 512 marks with a good percentage of the fe- male pelts also going at between :15 and 518.

The above sale continued the following day when an offering of 50,000 standards were on the block. The auction house reported as follows:-United Mink Breed- ers Association ranch mink (21.- 846) was '15 per cent sold at a 343 top for males and a 320 high for females. The pelts were special type Starlights from the Lloyd Gibson ranch. A total of 28.840 ranch mink for other shippers was 63 per cent sold at a 338.50 top fir extra dark males from the ranch of Mrs. J. G. Strom.

The collections. including the previous day's offering. realized approximately January levels with fine goods in exceptionally good demand. Dressed pastels (10,398) were 70 per cent sold at I top of 344 for Stewart-type males. Lev- els were unchanged compared with March prices. Attendance at the sale was good though not quite as heavy as the previous day's gath- ering of buyers.

Dressed and raw mutation mink sold at about March price lev-dis as Lampton. Fraser as I-futii, .fnc.. ended their three-day sale. The auction house reported as follows! Dressed Alcutians (2,317) were 86 per cent sold at a top of 348.50 for light, medium males. Dressed platinums, including breath of spring and Stewarts (10,030). 85 per cent sold, at ,a top of 546.50 for breath of spring males. Dress- ed varfous types, including whites and homes, (4.015). '13 per cent. sold. with an 580 top for whites, and a 351 top for liomos. Prices for these dressed goods were uii- changed compared with March.

Raw pastels (23691. 56 per cent sold. at a 341 top for light and light medium males. Raw Aleut- ians t33'D. 89 per cent, sold. at 337 top. Raw platinums, including breath of spring and Stewarts (3.- 908), 15 per cent sold. at a top of S30 for medium and light colors. Raw various types, so per cent sold. Raw goods sold in line with the dressed goods. Attendance at the sale was considerably lighter than for the ranch mink offering the previous days. Apparently many in the trade were inspecting skins for the upcoming mink sale The prevailing opinion is that a better indication of mink price levels will be had

300&OO&0 Canadian Y. M. C. A. in France 1913.

The military commission, in France, went very thoroughly into the organization, finance and pro- gram as well as the personnel of the Y. Mi. C. A. Tile chief recom- mendations in its report were fav- orable. and not only justified the use of military personnel, but re- commended that other ranks in

'15 men per division. This increase was granted for the Corps Troops,

early in the year, in France, to 316 men. '

There was a continual move- ment of the Canadian troops from April on, and the building of Y. M. C. A. huts was discontinued. For over five weeks the Corps held the front from Vimy Ridge to Ar- ras; acme divisions were in reserve and the 2nd division was transfer- red to an Imperial Corps. On May 'lth, the Canadian Corps was with- drawn from the Vimy front to a reserve area west of Arms, where for two months they underwent a process of rehabilitation and training.

For this move alone the Y. M. C. A. secured as three-ton lorries to move the equipment and sup- plies from former huts, to scores of marquees hastily erected, to house new branches within the re- serve area. This period, however, made it possible for the Y. M. C. A. to renew all kinds of activities. Sports and athletics became a big feature and a well arranged pro- gram that had been prepared the previous winter was carried out. Brigades and divisions develop- ed soccer and football teams and carried out sport meets in prepara- tion for the Corps sports on Do- minion Day. The Y. M. C. A. mar- quees at the athletic grounds dis-

tributed free cold drinks. The winners of the divisional meets were moved to special training

camps under a Y. M. C. A. Phys- ical Director, where they practised and trained for one of the great- est athletic events ever staged any- where.

An area was secured at Tinques: on it there were prepared both outdoor and indoor baseball dia- monds, voiley ball courts, tennis courts, boxing rings and a quarter mile cinder track. There were foot- ball and lacrosse fields adjoining so that several events could be carried out at the same time. The 20 yds. long grand stand was gaily decorated. andlhad a private box for the Corps Commander, who had as his guests at this Corps Meet on Dominion Day: the Duke of Connaught, sir Robert Borden. Sir Douglas f-faig and Marshall Pe- tain, and many of their staff offi- cars.

The Y. M. C. A. organized and carried through these Corps Sports providing all athletic equipment. and huge marquees, where free re- freshments were served. The at- tendance including imperial sold-' icrs was over 30,000 men.

Dominion Day In France I

sir Phillip Gibbs, a war corres-1 pondent, described it as follows:-I

"one or the most remarkable scenes I have ever watched on this front happened two days ago not far from the front. when a number' of Canadian troops celebrated Do-I minion Day by sports of everyl kind, which was attended by many thousands of soldiers of their own and other units. The Duke of Con- naught. . . was present at this Canadian celebration surroundedi

by the generals and staff officers of army corps and divisions. "General Currie, Commanding the Canadian Corps, received the Duke and presented some of his most distinguished officers. The arena in which the sports were held was staged and decorated in a way that reminded one or the mediaeval days of warfare, when the King and marshals of France set up their pavilions and banners of the Knight-at-arms floated above the wooden barracades. "The Canadians had arranged their program with skill and or- ganlzation, so that there was never a moment when there was not several events taking place at the same time-a boxing match in n rlnx. I ball game in the areas, a tennis championship. running races, and jumping, and all man- ner of sports. "It was a holiday in war time. and every man there knew that in another day or two. or another week or two. he might be in the midst of battle, so that this joliity had a sweet spice to it. And all

and splendid, that to see them gave one a senss,of safety, and of victory in the fighting that must come."

"Canada's Hundred Days"

Ten days later, the Canadian Corps spent about three weeks on the Anna front and then were se- cretly moved to Amlena. where they delivered an attack that tum- ed the tide of the war. A Canadian war wualpondent called this final period "Canada's Hundred Days." when the Canadian Corps was the spearhead or the first great assault before Amiens and from then were almost continual- iv in the fight which broke through the F defenses and

The Y. M. C.

M. C. A. supplies were served as rations

the troops; in one case to a bri- gade when the army supply failed.
