The deceased had been ill for six weeks. Her death was a great shock to her doctor, as he visited her a. few minutes before her death. The night before her death, she was able to sit up a little while, believing she would be soon around. But God had willed otherwise. She was a kind and loving mother and was highly esteemed for her many fine qualities. No one could feel she was '11 years of age, as she was al- ways smart. In death, or sickness, she was always ready with a helping hand. She leaves to mourn an aged heart broken husband, and one daughter. Mrs. J. H.

The forestry production of Can- ada in 1931, is measured by its ex- ports, shows some decline in quality and a large decline in value, as compared with 1930. In the twelve months ended October, 1031, the total value of the forestry products exported was $194,100,000, as com- pared wlth $259,700,000 in the pre- ceding twelve months. Total ex- ports of manufactured wood were $44,000,000 in the later period as icompared with 010200.000 in the Iearlier. Txports of mflflllfartufed wood declined from $42,000,000 in the earlier period to 832200.000 in the ‘later, and exports of paper from $142,000,000 to $116,400,000.

Can- 11rd lobster alone showed on in- crease in bath quantity and value preceding year. The British Colum- §bia salmon pack, which is the larg- icsi, item in the fish output 0i the .Dominlon, was in 1931 only about the largest ever recorded. Such a [large production in a year of gen- eral depression gluttcd the markets ‘and the smaller production of 1931' I Mineral Production. The great m‘neral industry of Canada, which has developed so rapidly during the last decade. l!!! been loss affected by the depression than might have been expected. For the first eleven months of 193i, the index number of employment in the mining industry has ben 107.7 as compared with 117.8 in the some period of l930~a decline of about eight and a half per cent. We have the figures of the pro- duction of sixteen leading minerals in Canada in the first ten months of 193i. ‘hm among these. gold and petroleum, actually show a larger production in the elapsed period OI i931 than in the same pzriod of| i930. The amount of gold produced ‘in the first ten months of 1031 was 2.201.290 fine oirnces, already e Llarger production than in the whole ilWBlVG months of 1930. when a re- cord pl ” was achieved. The By Honourable H. H. Stevens, Minister Of . 'l‘rade And Commerce. Ii tions were at the rate of almost [$5,000,000 pel- month. Canada is ‘now admittedly the second largest producer of gold in the world, the Union of South Africa being the‘ first and the United States third. Petroleum production 1n Canada is also showing a great increase. In the first ten months of i931 i; a- mounted to 1,378,407 barrels, as compared with 1,182,519 barrels in the same period of 1930, and‘ with 1,117,000 barrels in the calendar year 1929. The production in the first ten months of 193i thus ex- ceeded the total production of 1929. which was up to that time (he larg- est on record. The other leading metals and non metallic minerals showed a high quantity production in the first ten months of 1931, though the re- turns to the producers have not been as sa"sfactory as usual, owing to low-er prices. Thus the copper production of 247,900,000 pounds in ton months exceeded the total cop- per production of any calendar year prior to i929. The lead production of 228,850,000 pounds in ten months was greaterythan in any complete calendar year prior to 1925. The zinc production of 207,000,000 ,pounds in ten months was greater than the total production of zinc in any complete calendar year prior to 1929. Natural gas produc- tlon of 2l,l89,000.000 cubic feet in the first ten months of 1931 was larger than the total production for any of the calendar years from i918 to 1926. On the other hand, nickie production in the first ten months of 1931 at 58,560,000 pounds indicated s, smaller production than in any of the years from 192s 't° 1930, but about the averase 0f when the annual production var- ied between 02,000,000 and 73,800,- 000 rpounds, and a much larger pro- and 1922. 1931 Berries" by th iri.

' The actual use of electricity in the country at the present time is the output of central electric sla- tlons. Of this output. about 9B f!" cent is derived from the "white coal" of our falling water.
