Probably in deference to the many complaints registered against its collection, the provincial government nas (made a change in the $1.00 toll per car crossing the Alexandra bridge over the Fraser river on the Cariboo highway. The toll gate has been moved from Spuzzum. to a poiro about a half mile east of Yale and the dollar is now collected, presumably, as a road toll. H. P. Zuidema, a journalist on the Detroit News, has just made a trip from Bella Cool a to Williams Lake. He took several colored photos of Turner Palls near Bella Coola, described as 830 feet in height and the largest waterfall in Canada. He hopes to publish his series of pictures m several TJ. S. leading papers. Conservative Leader R. J. Manion said in a speech, yesterday: "I -will not be swerved from pressing for reform by criticism from within my own party." He said that the millions which have been spent on relief in Canada did nothing but diminish the morale of those who have received it. The money could better have been spent on public works, such as the building of roads in New Brunswick. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's cabinet in emergency session lasting nearly three hours on Tuesday rendered a definite decision with regard to Czecho-Slovakia when it was reported that British and ;French cabinets had reached simultaneously an agreement that under no circumstances are the two allies to permit Hitler to seize Czecho-Slovakia' by force. Reports from the Cariboo-Hudson property on Cunningham creek, 20 miles from Wells, B.C., where a 100-ton mill is being installed, state that a new strike of valuable gold ore has been made in the low level tunnel, which has now been driven 1200 feet into the mountain giving 600 feet vertical depth.

GOLD AND BASE METAL PRODUCTION IN YUKON Placer gold mining in the unglacia-ted areas of Yukon shows promise of continuing as an important industry for at least another fifty years, H. S. Bostock advises in his report on the mining industry of Yukon, 1937 (No. 2450) issued recently by the Geological Survey Division, Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa. The Klondike district, chief Canadian source of placer gold, and the main field in the unglaciated area, alone contains sufficient proved reserves to' keep most of the dredges now operating or under construction in operation for more than fifteen years. Development along modern engineering lines is showing that the Klondike contains much larger reserves of placer gravels than was formerly regarded as probable, and large areas of probable and possible gravels still remain to be tested. Total placer gold production In Yukon in 1937 was 58,-348 fine ounces, valued at $2,042,000 and the total value of all mineral production from the^ territory, to the end of 1937 is $215,544,000, of which $192,-500,000 represents the value of gold production. Exploratory work done in the Car-rrfecks district during 1937 has proved the presence of a large number of quartz veins carrying gold over a considerable area, although as yet the task of proving whether these veins carry workable ore-bodies has not been seriously attempted. —---------------------------o------------ ¦' - EASTERN CANADA RE-PORT ON ALSIKE SEED Prices Not Likely to Reach Those Of Last Year in Opinion of Ontario Authorities UNITED CHURCH GENERAL COUNCIL Toronto--Basis of representation at the General Council of the United Church of Canadv, which meets in Toronto starting SejtO'nlT 21 will be the same as in previous years equal representation hoVng given to ministerial M"jd lay eo:n»n;5iioi»ers a total registration of approximately 300 in anticipated, according to Rev.

P. R. in construction days, died in Vancouver last week. T?he late Mr. Prenter reached Port Moody on the first train in 1886 and was on the first train into Vancouver in-1887. He resigned as C. P. R. trainmaster at Vancouver in 1909 to accept the position as assistant general manager of the B C. Electric Railway. From 1922 to 1927 he was a member of the Vancouver Board of Harbor Commissioners. He was an original member of Cascade Lodge No. 12, A. F. & A. M., and an original member of Vancouver's first Liberal association and Vancouver's Pioneer Association. The provincial government has decided on a new policy in regard to reverted crown grant mineral claims, in the past these properties could be leased for a period of three years at a nominal rental of $25 a year with, a $100. a year work-clause obligation. If title was desired during the lease period a crown grant could be obtained by payment of the accummulated taxes. There are some 2900 claims on the government's reverted list, and it is now proposed to cancel the surveys, field notes and official plans of all reverted mineral claims and throw the ground open for relocation under the Mineral act. Leases will be protected if taken out before August 25, 1938. Klinck, president of the University of British Columbia; George Bell and others. Victoria is sending W. T. Straith, a member of the B.

Canadian live cattle exported to the British market in 1938 up to July 21 numbered 23,495, compared with 4,017 during the - corresponding period of 1937. The following report is published in the July 29 edition of the "Seed World" by Gordon L. Smith, Toronto: "Alsike is now being harvested and threshed in eastern Canada. Total crop will be very much larger than in recent years because acreage is now getting back to what most seedsmen regard as normal. Yields so far, however, are turning out a little disappointing and volume will not be up to earlier expectations. For some reason or other the seed did not set as freely as usual. Early samples are 'of good quality, however, being plump and bright and reasonably free from weeds. "Practically no crop has been bought yet. After the stiff prices for alsike last spring, many fanners are a little disappointed , in offerings . so far though there is no immediate indication that prices will get higher. There is a much bigger crop to market and no expectation that demand will be anything like as keen as last season. A very large percentage of the total yield will have to find a market either in the United States or Europe and so far reports from those countries offer little encouragement of high prices. In the meantime, seedsmen are feeling out the situation cautiously and it is unlikely that there will be any early activity in buying." PROGRAM FORb.c .
