245,200 bushels. This at the begin-
ning of the loading season which
was two weeks late this year on ac-
count of the retarded harvest.

This has been the greatest sen-
son for automobile tourists Mont-
real has ever experienced, according
to the Secretary of the Automobi'e
Club of Canada, Cars, he stated
had come into the city over the King
Edward Highway at the rate of two
hundred a day, an unusual number
from California, Floriaa, Carolina
and Virginia being noticeable.

There was neatly $160,000,000 in-
crease in the total trade of Canada
for the first five months of the cur-
rent fiscal year, according to a re-
turn made by the Department of

paid being $40 and $45 a month,
whereas a year ago the schedule

60 feet in width across.a moub-
tain face that slopes at an angle
of about 45 degrees, up about 400
feet or more. It is practically

and very accessible to it, with
good opportunity for a railroad
siding. It is situated on Crown
land but we have arranged to
have it staked for lease so that
it will be available, without cost,
to anyone who could guarantee a
cheap supply of lime for agricul-
tural purposes, .

“An analysis from the U.B.C.

gave 98.8 per cent pure carbonate
of lime, while one from Victoria
gave it 96 per cent.
“Inquiries have been made
during the past year as to how
much would be necessary in order
to put the lime on the market,
but it was found that the outlay
would be greater than an indi-
vidual could stand,

‘Should this scheme be endors-
ed by -you and made available
for vroducing, the Farmers’ In-
stitute is wiling to take the
scheme over in time. If lime
can be produced for not more
than $10 per ton at least 80 to 50
tons can be sold right as soon as
the lime is produced. We would

up to investigate this lime de-
posit as soon as possible.

‘‘We do not believe that a hetter
or more accessible deposit of lime
can be obtained and the need of

we would urge your committee
and tne government to make an
early investigation of this deposit.
that it may be made available
without dela} for our use.’’

In reply to the above Professo1
Boving wrote, Oct. 10th:—“I am
very glad indeed to hear of the
active part the community is tak-
ing in obtaining lime for local
need, and I hope, jater on, as a
commodity for wider distribution.
From ‘your deseription, the de-
posit seems in every respect
suited for development. The
quality is Al and the only dif-
ficulty is the financing. If you
intend to supply local needs onlv,
I would recommend a No. 3 Jef-
