Canberra as the capital city of the Commonwealth has hardly begun. “The Parliament Ilousei‘, opened ihmyeersasobythenukesnd Duchess of York, is a temporary structure set down on a mountain plateau. “The Albert Hail," will no doubt one day be tho centre of swir- ling traffic, but at present it stands isolated on a desert of scrub and rock. The General Post Omce and "10 Ihppping centre will one day be linked together by fine boulevards, but at the moment they are separ- ated by two miles of grazing land. Constitution Avenue will in time de- serve its name, at present it is a country lane leading to the church. The parish church is the quaint- est sight of all. It was built early in the last century by convict labor, and for generations the only worshippers there were the Campbell fondly, who owned tho local sheep station. Now each Gundoy it is packed to the doors with the Commonwealth lead- ers. In a hundred years no doubt it will bo completely heimned in by streets and shops. Canberra in places is no more than the ground plan of a city. Opposite the Parliament House there will one day stand out in glittering white the Capitol, but at present its site is only m ” by a fountain stone; the hfiibehindwiliintiraobearagreat war memorial; at present it is only the feeding SIM-Ind of sheep. Yet Canberra, though it looks today rather like the beginnings of a Wembloy in the mountains, is organ iaadasifitworoalresdyatasm- lug city. Everywhere there are one way traffic notices, though there of- ten is not a vehicle in sight. To reach a hotel in a motor car you pursue a merry go round as involv- ed as that of Picadilly circus, though the intertwining roads aro as desert- ed as on a Yorkshire moor. It is easy to smile at such incen- gruitiss, but it is impossible not to admire the faith and courage with which Australia has set out to turn a rockay sheep station lntn her Washington. The enterprise has been hampered by ill fortune. The war in- terrupted it, and the present depres- sion has brousht it to s standstill. Oiilcea and shops that came into existence on the expectation of a population that would immediately rise to 30.000 or 40.000 are catering only for a quarter of that number. In fact, the Ibdoral fFarliament is being asked to cut the losses and scrap the whole scheme. But in Canberra itself there are no cnoak- erl. The citisons, have faith to bat- tle through.

Of course. had these ‘ lotions not been imposed. the entry would probably have been very much larger. Of the 00 entered, 23 dropped out at the calling of first non-accept- ances on Jan. so. A number of these had failed toIquaiify under the new rules, however. Among the with- drawals were Oberstown Prince, I"1orin Second.

Probably 40 horses will start the long prind on March 27. ‘rho value to the winner will be a little more than 845,000, while the starting fee for each horse will again be $500. The race was worth a good bit more two years ego, when the record field of 86 started. 111s Grand National was first run in 1830. A syndicate had taken over the lease of the grand stand and race course at Aintree. Each run- nor had to pay $100 and the added money was $600. The race was re- stricted to gentlemen riders, a rule which was perhaps laxly observed, and it was not o. handicap. the weight for each runner being l6‘! pounds. The first race had 17 start- ers and was won by Lottery, ridden by Jim Mason, who was known as a. t. mendous dandy. He invariably wore ‘white kid gloves when riding. In I840 it was Lottery's fate to fall at the ‘all, ‘an bstacle which has long since disappeared from Aintree, replaced by others quite as formid- able. The race became a handicap in 1843. The maximum weight for some years was 133 pounds, with which light impost Sunloch won in creased to I40 pounds, and this year it has been raised to 147. As 175 pounds remains the maximum, the best-class competitors have a more favorable chance this year than over before.

Il-(By The 0on- sdian Press)—Altornatoly a railway eoach arid a public highway coach. the Ro-Rsil car is calculated to ro- volutioniu the transportation oys- tems of Great Britain. Tests are bo- ing carried out by the London. Mid- land and Scottish-Railway Company with a view to adopting the new type of coach. It is thought the Redboum branch of tho railway may be the first to put the new car into use. A description of the initial run of the Ro-Rail coach from Redbourn. Hertfordshire. to Hamel Hempstead under the auspices of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway re- cently is thus given by u newspaper correspondent: “We threaded s. way among all the motor and horse traffic without a soul realizing that for the first time a railway coach ‘had literally ‘run off the lines.’ Returning to the station we became a train again and went back to Rcdbourn by rail. It. took 40 seconds to turn us from a railway coach into a road coach and the same time to change us back again. No one left his seat. "This British-made Ito-Rail car, built for the L. M. is. by Karrler Mo- tors, Limited, of Huddersfield, marks a revolution in travel. We demon- strated how a passenger might ar- rive, say, at Eirston and travel to the door of'a West End ‘Theatre in the same coach "The outside wheels of the mach are ‘ordinary motorcoadh wheels fitt- ed with pneumatic tyres. Inside these wheels, flanged rail wheels of smaller diameter are fitted to the same axle. To transfer from road to rail the conch is driven to a place where the road has been made up level with the rail tops. The made-up road tapers down and as the coach ls slowly driven along, the flanged wheels come to rest on the rails. The road wheels, mounted on an eccent- ric device, are then raised above rail level. "The coach is run on road and rail by a patrol motor developing 120 h. p. On short tests 50 miles an hour have been attained. On the road it has the appearance of a super mo- tor-coach." ‘ THE REVIVAL OF RUSSIA A feature of the past year which remains of direct moment to Can- ada, and may advisedly have an im- portant bearing upon the future fis- cal policy, of Great Britain, was the re-entrypf Russia into export trade upon a considerable scale. and one that promises to grow rapidly, writ- es Harrison Wstson, Canadian 'I‘rado Commissioner in London, in the forthcoming issue of the Commerciaii Intelligence Journal This development is the result of the now famous “Five Years‘ Plan." The Soviet Government succeeded in I930 in exporting to the world's markets substantial quantities of wheat and other grains" timber, fish, honey, soap, and other com- modltiw, which they have either sold or will sell at any price which they can obtain, in order to secure the foreign credits which will enable them to carry out nnother object of their scheme: the purchase oi ma- clnery and similar iplant destined to equip the factories, mines, etc", which are needed for the develop- ment of still other of the Soviets varied natural resources. The result of this forced selling is to drive down to a still lower level prices which decreased demand had already re- duced to figures unprofitable and frequently below cost of production. Such competition ls disastrous all round, but more especially, and also from a pennanent point of view, w Canada. whose natural resources and products so closely parallel those oi Russia and Siberia. The reason is that with most European countries shutting their doors against unrestricted inrports of many select- ed commodities by the adoption of restrictive legislation in the shape of tariff duties, by licence or total prohibition, the Soviet will naturally turn to the unprotected markets oi the United Kingdom-hitherto Can- ada's best customer for wheat and flour and a liberal purchaser of many other natural resources and raw ma- ieria1s—as offering the most favour- English stables.

Olry-Itoederers Aulnay, a winner at Pau and Autauil but not able outlet for the sale of Russian grain, timber, fish wood-pulp, etc. Mr. Harrison atson adds that the reports of inferior quality, bad packing, careless marketing. etc, which have been circulating should be greatly discoun‘ d. if not wholly disregarded. London importers and distributors of the highest standing state that Rupsian commodities in regular trade are almost without ex- ception delivered in this country in the most. satisfactory condition. and by organized methods which are second to none. BRITISH TRADE DECLINE Up to the arrival of the present depression authorities had been in- clined to attribute the difficulties of cussed impoverishment of Europe w m urs competitivg ssvsbtsgu which eertsin countries ban rowed from inflation. writes Harrison Watson. Canadian Trade 90081188780! in M00011. in the forthcoming issue of the Commercial Intelligence Journal. But while past-war chaos dplbtlass hampered the llpefls of hritaia. and indeed of all other uoupfiifl, w European markets. her competitors developed their trade Outside of Iuropl. and Britain has last a largo proportion of her i- trade. These markets have not been main- ly captured by the countries enjoy- lng the alleged benefm of inflated currencies, because these countries have not increased their trade more, or indeed to the same extant as 0th- BPS WhOhIW pursued amonetarypcl- icy similar to that of Britain. Official figures show that at present the United Kingdom-in calculated fig- ures, assuming that the 1913 propor. tions had been retained-contributed 5 per cent less to the world's trade than in I013, and that exports i4 Europe have fallen by 8 per cent. to South America. by I0 per cent. to Asia have not increased their trade more, and North America by 40 per cent, and to Oceanic and Africa by l5 per cent, representing a shrinkage in comparison with 101s valued at be- tween £100,0J0.00 and 217011001100. FINANCE AND PRICES IN GREAT BRITAIN The year 1930 witnessed a further contrarlon in the amount of new capital issues floated in London, writes Harrison Watson, Canadian 'I‘ra.de Commissioner in London, in the forthcoming issue of the Com- mercial Intelligence Journal. The actual totaI—£267,B00,700 as against £285,239,400 in l029—sl:,\ ficially in» dicates s reduction of only some £17,. 438,700. A study of the detatils shows however, that this comparatively satisfactory result is largely due to the increased proportion of the mon- ey subscribed for glltedged invest- ments. The sum actually forthcom- ing for industrial shares and other investments favoured by , ‘ “ investors exhibited a falling off of no less than £58.000(000 in comparison with I929. Upon the other hand, a feature of the year was tho gradual and sustained advance in the prices of high-grade securities. Dritiah and the majority of Dominion Govern- ment bonds and stocks, and many other fixed-interest investments (with the exoeptlo of British railways), exhibited rlses,.which e. study of the list shows range from 3 to 0 per cent. The decline in wholesale prion since the end of December, I929. has been approximately 20 per cent. As rc- gards the course of retail prices dur- lng.1930. the index figure for food only, representing the outlay of a workman family,’ was 41 per cent. higher than in July, 1014, and the figure covering items of all kinds. in- cluding also rent, clothing, fuel and light, was b5 per cent higher. AI- though there is still widespread com- plaint regarding the considerable margin which separates wholesale and retail prices, a noticeable fall took place during the year 1N0 in so far that the index figure dropped from 67 to 55. - ITALTS TRADE WITH CANADA IN I980 Fbr the ten-months‘ period Jan- uary tn October, IMO-the figures for which are now available-Italy's trade with Canada was valued ct 491,955,962 lire, compared with 04a,- 665390 lire in the corresponding period of 1920, writes A. B. Muddi- msn, Canadian Trade Commissioner at Milan, in the forthcoming issue of the Commercial Intelligence Jour- nal. The main falling of! is in the imports of wheat, which for the per- iod under review were 516,300 metric tons compared with 615,020 metric tons in 1929. Total importations of hard wheat for the period were 504,- 288 metric tons, of which Canada supplied 321,330 metric tons as against 424,140 in the previous year. In soft wheat, shipments from the Argentine fell off most-Hod?!» against 421,132 metric tons. lI/ussia on the other hand, is credited with 100,360 metric tons, compared with nil in the Pnevlous year. Canada's exports have remained fairly station- ary in soft wheat, but those of the United States have fallen ofl-102,- B41 against 261,894 metric tons. Im- portations of soft wheat from Jugo- slavia, Roumania. and Hungary have also increased. Increases were record- ed in the following imports from Canada: dried codfish, canned sal- mon, automobiles. lumber, and crude asbestos. While imports of overshoes and other rubber footwear decreased in quantity, the value increased. There were no imports of chemical fertilisers in the I08) period, as oom- rared with 777 tons in i020. Owing to the fact that the artificial silk trade has been passing through a crisis, shipments of rayon pulp show o. marked falling off.

Report Of The Geodetic Survey _____. OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. ld-"That a precise traverse is bolnl “W140i! through the fiat heavily flmbtmi country north of Cechrane following the T and N. O. railway and that it will be continued to James Bay when the railroad is completed." was the tement of n. p. usuiton. n. L. S. in presenting the Report of the c‘ ’ tic Survey Committee at the annual convention of the Domin- ion Land Surveyors Association which is being held in Ottawa to- day. The terminal traverse stations when James Bay is reached will probably form the geographic basis of a triangulation ’net up the cast coast of Hudson Bay. ~ Mr. Moulton also stated that a program of serial reconnaissance is being carried out at the present time in Northern Ontario consisting of the selection of triangulation stations for a net extending from Sudbury to Lake Niplgon. The use of aeroplanes for r ' and ti’ ,. filt- iori of observation parties has be- come more extensive while the use of serial photographs for the solut- ion of problems in reconnaissance has given satisfactory sesults. Close cooperation is being main- tained between ‘ y officials and the Geodetic Survey as triangulation stations form ideal lites for forestry fin detection towers and vice versa. and the ‘ deter-ruins“ of the geographic position of the tow- ers by the Survey is of great service to the foresters in correcting their maps. _ Mr. Mouiton also made a very complete report of all the various operations of the Geodetic survey carried on during the season of 1030. In British Columbia reconnaissance for a not in the Fraser river valley has reached to within fifty miles of Prince George when it will connect with the system projected in prev- ious years eastward from Prince Rupsyt, 11w ‘ measurements will probably be completed in I033. In the prairie provinces good pro- gross was made on a net southward from Prince Albert to the Internat- ional boundary. On compietl this net will extend from the boundary thwlllh Medicine Hat, Calgary, Ed- monton. Llbydminstsr, Prince Albert Saskatoon and Moose Jaw back to tho International boundary. Reconnaissance was begun and is being continued by aeroplane during the preset winter, northward from Prince Albert, to form the basis for primary triangulation control in the mineralised belt of the Northwest Territories. Such progress has been mode on the fundamental nets of northwest Quebec that the completion .0! 0W0 small gaps in 1031 will complete two large loops in the district lying north of Ottawa, and between Three Riv- era and the Ontario boundary. In this area all the work of transport- ation was done by aeroplanes, which were in use at the some time for aerial photographic mapping operat- ions. It is gratifying to note that in the province of Quebec the provin- cial authorities appreciate the value of the Geodetic surveys and are looking forward in the near future to the establishment by their own surveyors of subsidls y triangulation nets based on primary stations, and a beginning was made at this work in 1077 and i938. lix Laplace stations and eleven stations for the determination of the deflection of the plurnblirie were ob- served at during the year. At one place in the Gsspe ,l!'lifl8\I1I this deflection would cause an error of 2.0M foot in a geographic poeitioé determined astronomicslLv. Precise levelling was carried on in Vancouver island and secondary levelling in the Muskoka District of Ontario and north of the St. Law- rence river in Quebec. The triangulation nets from Mon- treal in the Maritime provinces have been adjusted and the results will be contained in six publications. three of which are already ‘ " "Polish your boots. sir?" “Darn you. m."

It is a troublesome problem 1p this particular age compared with the days of former generations when stable manure was always available often merely for the hauling. It is such a rarity now in urban cehters and so small a supply is available as to be almost negligible. Gmimervcial ici-tilipers must take its place. If the soil is inclined to be light and sandy, humus is needed. There are commercial humus prep- arations on the market, but it is a simple matter to become fairly in- dependent of them by manufactur- ing humus at home. Humrm is no more than decayed vegetable matter. The up to date gardener has a compost heap which is merely a. heap of lawn clippings, vegetable tops from the garden, weeds pulled from the garden, straw trimmings from vegetables taken from the garden for the table or other vegetable waste. There are chemical compounds on the market which will reduce a heap of vegetable refuse to synthetic manure to supply the place of de- cayed stable" manure ln a. few months-in other words. the com- post heap started in the spring will be available for use ln the fail. The fail started heap will be manure in the spring. While the synthetic manure so manufactured at homo lacks some of the fertilizing qualities of stable manure, these are easily lpplied by the baiancer commercial fert- illzers or by some clement. such as nitrate of soda furnishing nitrogen, wood ashes of potassium salts for potash. and phosphat I for phosphor- us. However, one need not worry un- duly about these i, “ ‘ elements if balanced commercial fertilizer is used, as these compounds contain all the necessary plant foods and are now o. most important and es- sential part of home gardening, lacking the unpleasant odor and bulkiness of stable manure. Start c. compost heap with the spring clean-up and leaves and other materials may be accumulated even in midwlriter.’ A gang of men were at work dig- ging a big trench in the road. During the morning McTavish, the foreman, came along to the trench to see how the work was progresing. Suddenly he pointed to one of the men. Get oot o‘ that trench, he ordered. The man did so. Hardly had he done so than Mo- Tavish ordered him to return to the trench again. The operation vras repeated throo more times until in the end the navvy lost his temper. What's the idea? he asked. Well, laughed the foreman, you're bringing more earth out on your boots than ye have over done with your shovel.
