Our Business with Canada.

4u0 low luttFoSt Ill Cdu6ua aWah-
ened by the Quebec Tercentenary gives
special timeliness to the pamphlet now
sent out by Mr. John M. Carson, Chief
of the Bureau of Manufactures of the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
wherein is a. comprehensive review of
the trade conditions in the Dominion
for the last calendar year. The subject
is one of Importance to us, because we
export more to Canada than to all the
rest of North America, including Cuba
and the West Indies, more than twice
as much as to South America or Asia,
more than four times as much as to
Oceanica and ten times as much as to
Africa. " z@ u.
1t is a trade, moreover, that is ex-
tending, having increased from $240,
100000 in 1905 to $34O,119,237 in 1907;
and it is the largest trade that Canada
has with any country. The Importance
and preponderance OF the Dominion's
commerce with the United States are
shown in the following table Of imports
and exports of the last calendar year;
Goutries. Imports. Exports. Total.

OF the total importations into
Canada for the fiscal year ended March
81, $50 per cent came from the United
States and 2O.5 per cent from the
United Kingdom, these figures show
ing aslight increase in the percentage
of imports from Great Britain and a
small decrease from the United States.
But as the preferential tariff in favor
Of the United King dom averages about
thirty per cent the latter cannot be said
to be making much headWay in compe-
tition with our people in the Canadian
market.
Besides this. there is to be considered
also the large part that American capt
tai has taken in the development Of
Canada. According to q report COM
piled by the Dominion Government a
hundred and fifty important Industries
have been established there BY Ameri-
can capital, nearly all since 1897. One-
half the Canadian iron and steel indus
tries are provided with American capt.
tai and one-fifth Of the lumber and
woodworking blishments. Finally,
there are the American immigrants IN
TO Canada, who In 1907 alone numbered
558,3l2, carrying property with them Of
the estimated value of forty.nine mil.
lion dollars

can't say that he don't stick to his
hobbies. I've alwus ben crazy to see
the waterways Of the country kept
improved. I've dreamed Of the day
when we could see the Mississippi
dredged out so ocean ships could sail
from Minneapolis to Europe, Asia and
Africa by way Of the gulf. The Ca
nucks understand this. My paper says
that inaJune and July Montreal export
ed 1901, 1862 bushels Of wheat while eall
our own Atlantic ports combined ship
ped only 7,585,38l bushels. It's all on
account of Montreal's deep waterways
facilities that she is gettin' more grain
than she can handle and it's goin' to
be more so. Short railway hauls and
long water hauls are more powerful
arguments for drawin' trade than all
the sub sides you could pile up. we
hate to see our export trade diverted
but we can't change the material law of
commerce. Civ us right facilities on
the Mississippi and we'll some day be
shippin' down the Cedar from Austin
Wharves.
1t alwus gals me to think that after
all the scientific breedin' of plants and
animals gettin' such marvellous results
that we can't get at scientific breedln'
of human kind. A farmer would
never think of keepin' for breedin' any
deformed sickly knock kneed puny
weak critters. He'd kill 'em off quick.
He picks the Ilkeliest and health1est TO
propagate fsom or he wouldn't keep
up his herds. But when it comes to
human heredity there don't seem to be
any judgment used Folks with con-
sumption, scrofula, and all kinds of
degeneratin' ills can get married with
out any idee of inprovin' the human
race by gradually eliminatin' the weak
or or unhealthy. It's a problem that
I've spent many hour over but can't
get it to come out even. don't know
but what the government ought to ex-
anime every man, woman and child
and give 'em sti6cate of physical sound
ness an make everybody hav one to get
married on.

FIRE Chief GLORE
ON FIRENEN'S FUND
He Writes to City Council Con-
cerning Money Held by
Vail.

Fire Chief W. II. Glorc, at Monday
nights session of the city council.
rcopened the subject of the firemen 5
Benefit fund with a recommendation
that the matter be referred TO the fire
and municipal laws committees, asso-
ciated with the city attorney, for in
yestigation, If, after investigate ton,
this fund is found to be a bona tide
asset of the firemen s association, Chief
Glore recommends that steps be taken
TO recover it from The custodian, En-
Chief Charles T. Vail. who, contrary
TO precedent, was continued as custo-
dian of the fund when he QUIT the de-
partment a few months ago.
One of Chief Glore S reasons for wish
ing the matter investigated, he said,
Monday night, is that as the fund was
never turned over TO him, as was the
custom with succeeding chiefs, he
wishes the record made clear on that
point, so that he will not be involved
in any liability for the fund. The
matter was referred, as Chief Glore
suggested. to the fire and municipal
laws committee and the city attorney.
Chief Glore s communication is as fol-
lows:
Salt Lake City. Nov. 16. 1905,

Gentiemen.-In looking over the report
of this department for the year 1904. made

made matter of record Would sug
gest that this subject asset of fire de-
partment, known as firemens fund be
referred to the committee on fire depart
ment and law. in conjunction with tao
city attorney, TO take such steps as may
be necessary. and II. after examination
this fund is found to be bona fide as

hands OF the printer. Respectfully sub
mitted, w. II. GLORE.
Chief OF Fire Department
The fund has been lost sight for
some time. Soon after Vail left the
department, the firemen demanded an
accounting, but alleged that Vail was
evasive, claiming that he could not give
an accounting on account of outstand-
ing credits OF the fund. Afterwards
Vail said the fund was all right and
offered to give bond or make an ac.
counting, but neither offer has matured,
the firemen say.
