Hardisty,   Alta.—Work   has   just;~"| beon completed on the C.P.R. bridge, llardisty,   after   a   great   deal   .of labor  has been  spent on  it. The   trestle   was, begun   in   1906, when the railway' came to llardisty, and trains ran over  in 1908,/The trestle is 2,714 ft. long. 70. ft. high, and  has  in   it  1,800,000  ft  board measure of lumber, as'well as 27,000 It.   of piling.    It.-is  estimated  that it   has  taken^80O,0OO  tons  of   material to make the fill.
The ^present   bridge   presents   a B&fe,.-and perfect means of U-ansit.
St. John, N.B.—Five members of the Baseball "Writers' Association of the United States arrived in 3t. John from Montreal. They -were Fred Lieb of the New York Evening Telegram, who is. president of th« Writers' Association; Sid Mercer of the New .York Evening: Journal; Ir-viri Vaughan of the Chicago Tribune; Dennian ' Thompson of the Washington Star, and Ed.

The trip was arranged by Joe Page, baseball writer and sport enthusiast, who is a special representative of the C.P.R. He met the majority of the, writers in New York and accompanied them to Montreal, Quebec and as far as this city. „
The visitors were met at the station by G. Bruce Burpee, district passenger agent of the C.P.R., and C. B. Allan, secretary of the New Brunswick Tourist and Resources Association, and driven to the Royal Hotel.
Red Cross is
Still Working
Activ i»ies  Have  Scope   In  Time Peace- as   Well  at   Period  of Conflict.
Montreal—A press dispatch from Calgary crediting to the secretary of-the Federated Shop Trades there a statement to the effect that the C.P.R. and certain other railway! had ' knowledge" of the conciliation board's award some days before it was filed with the department of labor- and in consequence thereof liiul paid the reduced rates of wages as 'set by the conciliation board, prior to the announcement of the award by the department of labor, 'was brought to the attention' of George Hodge, . assiutautr' general manager of the C.P.R., Eastern lines, who conducted the case for the. railways ^before the board of conciliation   and   investigation.
Mr.. Hodge denied most emphatically the correctness of the statement.—He-said fufther^that- »b far as the C.P.R. was concerned it had no knowledge of the report untir it was  received at the company^ of-
The Fort George Red Cross held its .first meeting1 since tho holidays recently, and Mrs. G. G. .Mackenzie i'oad her report of the executive moeiinp; which she attended recently in Vancouver.- This report tleait with what has been' done in the last six months in connection with-junior Rcil Cross, district relief, hospital visitvfvtf .membership campaigns, public health,, nursing and a great number of minor, details:
Only those who are actively on-H-ngecl in Red Cross work, or kcop abreast by reading published reports of its activities, can have any ideu of" the volume of Rood that has been accomplished by ^this organization since its peace-time program was put in force. In fact, right here there are many of the opinion that the Red Cross went out of business with tljre'j dose
now thirty-five nations organized for Red    Cross    work, a much    greater number than   engaged, in. it  during j CANADIAN the wav.
Of course, the soldiers come ih-st .in consideration in_Red-"CroRS work. In Canada, at least, the Red Cross never loses sight of the men who did. our, fighting, so long as help   i?

of the country,"k said Mr. Chaa. Murrfhy, general: mtfntfger of Western lines of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
He expressed himself very well pleased with the movement of the crop throughout the whole West. When asked as to the possibility of a grain blockade, Mr. Murphy stated that the Canadian Pacific was accepting all grain that was being offered. He pointed out that on one day over four million bushels had been taken out of. Port William and Port Arthur. Mr. Murphy pointed oat that there was difficulty in getting bottoms on the lake* to take the rrain out, but the elevators were ar from being full, and the Canadian Pacific still had the big Trana-cona elevator empty.
Already Mr. Murphy stated there was a large quantity of grain being shipped out from the head of the lake* by the all rail route. He declared that he could see no grain blockade in sight.      1
Mr.' Murphy pointed out that the Canadian Pacific'had moved 14,000 ears off the Saskatchewan aivision of the railway. This was five thousand more cars of Saskatchewan wheat than had b«en moved in the same period in any year.
He also pointed out that even with the unprecedented grain move' ment the Canadian Pacific was moving from 250 to 275 carloads per day from the Western coal mines "There was thirteen thousand torn moved yesterday," he declared. Was here three weeks or a month ago and at .that time I stated we w»re moving 260 to 275 cars of cdal day, and the movement has been kept at that ever since. We realise he declared, that the wheat can h moved during the cold weather am people can live, but if the coll weather com** and there is no coa there will be great suffering in th< country, and possibly weree.          d

HUNTERS^ GUIDE. Addrett: ALEZA LAKE. B.C.
Coming  to  our  own   community, the qiipstion naturally arises as   to what our local branch of the   Red Cross is doing. . AH.through th6 warf the "Georges" made a splendid i-e-corcl in patriotic work, making tons of  supplies   and   earning  thousands of dollars to be expended, for   war relief. - It was pei-fectly natural that the workers should feel a strong i'e-" action  when  the war was  over,   so very little active work; has been done ince.   ,0ne large sale was held, and few dances, part of the money gong to headquarters and part re,tain-d  for  local  necessity.     Last   year Fort George Red Cross spent $159 n equipping the. kitchen  of   Prince George hospital, and has pledged itself to spend the bulk of the1 money raised in helping the hospital where nost needed.    Red Cross, like charity, should begin at Kome, but. neec not end there..  Then there have relief cases to loo»* after, also the Rid Cross has a used   clothing   department, and will be glad if people wil keep this in mind-^-those who   hav clothing to spare and those who ma need it.    This work-is done as con .ndentially" as possible.     Baby cloth ing   is'especially   needed,   so   neve throw any away.
Port George branch of the Red Cross was established early in 1915. It was never disbanded, and is.the only branch ir^ this part of the country. In the opinion of former Red Qross workers in the i other "Georges,'] one brandh is enoughrAH lat is jieeded~is co-operation.
It may not be generally known hafthe c^nly money raised here.by he Red Cross to be sent to head-) quarters is a percentage of member-hip fees. Last year 20 per cent was sent to Vancovivef to help carry on the heavier work. This year 50 per ce"nt is needed, as the disaster relief and other heavy calls has rather drained the-treasury."              -^
Purtherfrfore, if the local - Red Cross should require -more money for its work than it can raise, headqua* tcrs will stand behind it. And if dia-'aster should overtake this p'lace headquarters would see us ithrough in relief and supplies. .!¦ These are facts which the people of the community should know.        ;.
During the dark days, Red Cross workers "had the excitement of the "poinp and circiristances" of war to spur them on to high endeavor. In the present dull routine of trying to get "three squares"    each    twenty-
