This is MY BOTH BIRTHDAY"

The Hon. Sir Mackenzie Bowel. who
for many years has occupied a fore
most place in Canadian public life. was
born in Rickinghall, Suffolk, England,
December 27, 1928. As a young man
ne emigrated to Canada and as long
ago as 1867 he began his public ca
reer as a member of the Dominion Par
liament. After having held success
siyely the important positions OF min
lister of customs. minister of defence
and minister of trade and commerce,
he became premier in 1894. serving for
one year. In 1S95-96 he was president
Of the Privy Council and since 1892
he has been a member of the senate.
Notwithstanding his advanced age he
continues to take a keen and active

Irnder the laws orIginallx Intended

Under the laws originally intended
TO promote settlement and the extern
sion and development of farming
there has been much grabbing of
valuable timber lands. out of which
fortunes have been made, involving
various public men i'm scandal and
practically robbing the Government.
The process of gaining possession of
large areas has been affected by dun
my entries" upon quarter sections
which have been afterwards CONSOLE
dated In possession OF syndieates and
corporations. Since the irrigation
and conservation OF natural resources
movements were started IL has devel-
oped that lands containing coal and
other mineral deposits have been OBJ
tanned i'm the same way. and that COM
binations OF capitalists were seeking
control of those upon which valuable
water power sites are situated. All
this has started the question of a
new policy in treating lands which
contain these sources OF exceptional
value, policy for retaining control by
the Government and perhaps granting
leases 10 private capitalists for the
development OF the resources OF tim
Der or minerals or water power.
This policy was I'm an incipient stage
in the latter part of the Roosevelt adj
ministration, but had not advanced far
or been recognized or established by
law. Mr.. Ballinger. when Commits
sioner of the General Land Office. did
not appear to be in sympathy with it,
while the Secretary OF the Interior and
the Forestry Bureau in the Arigcul-
tural Department were ardently so.
When Mr.. Ballinger became Secretary
of the Interior under the new admin
istration he regarded some of the
steps taken as without warrant Of
law, and undertook to suspend. If not
to retrace them, until the matter had
been more fully considered and author
ity in the premises could be clearly
defined. 1t is out OF this transition
OF policy that the controversy has
arisen and been famed into excite
ment by the personal relations Of
those who were not agreed upon il. II
is not clear that the conduct of either
side has involved action that is dis
creditable under the circumstances or
inconsistent with official rectitude,
and it is desirable that the investi-
cation TO be made should not have the
direct purpose of convicting or vim
dicating anybody. but should aim at
clearing up the facts and throwing
light upon the proper course of the
Government in dealing with the con-
troverted land questions.

Business men engaged In ocean
shipping as Vel as ordinary travellers
have shown much Interest in the
Washington departmental reports re-
iating to the rapid growth of wireless
telegraphy. Just half the steamships
carrying steerage passengers To and
from the United States are equipped
with wireless installations, but as the
vessels so equipped are the best and
largest in the trade the number of pas
sengers partially safeguarded by wire
less is very much more than half the
total carried across the ocean. In
the coastwise passenger trade there
are 81 steamers equipped with wire
less, as against 40 not so equipped.
The system employed, however, is
different one. The coasting trade is
chiefly covered by the United Wireless
Telegraph Company (the original De
Forest system). while the transatlan
tic shipping is practically provided
for by the Marconi system. There
are other systems at work, causing
greater variation in the United States
than elsewhere. The United States
army has its Signal corps system and
the navy uses the United, Composite,
Massie, Fessenden, Stone, Clark,
Shoemaker and other systems.
The Telepenhen system is employ
ed exclusively in Germany and has
been adopted in Mexico, Cuba, China
and many other countries. Great Br-
tain and Canada have taken the Mar
conf system for government purposes,
while permitting some other systems
to operate i'm the public service. Under
the Berlin convention, from which the
United States stood aloof there is some
risk, as the Secretary of Wars report
has pointed out, of an American ship
fitted with a system not recognized
by the Berlin convention being placed
at disadvantage i'm not having it's
messages transmitted home through
ship or shore stations equipped with
other systems. This happened in the
case of troop ship on its voyage
from New York to and from Manila.
An inquiry. however. at the offices
of the American Marconi company i'm
New York ELECTED the fact that the
Marconi company has for some time
past thrown open ait its sidp and shore
stations to the United states govern
mont vessels irrespective of the sys-
tenn used.
The year has seen rapid extern
sion Of wireless Geographic lnstalla-
tions on seagoing vessels" said an
official of the company 10 the repre-
sentative OF the Journal OF Com
merce. The number OF ships the
Marconl Company has fitted now
reaches the total of 2i7. Since July
we have equipped thirty steamships
and half dozen private yachts like

since November the British
post Office has taken up under its
purchase agreement the operation OF
the short distance shore stations, ana
under the rules of the Berlin conven-
ton these shore stations are bound TO

or code is used But there are prac-
tically only two codes I'm use, the

both the Western Union ana the Pos

most cordial character as the mutual
benefit from reciprocally accepting ana

tions is fully recognized, the business
of forwarding private messages to
travellers at sea being rapidly on the
increase: while of course. the offices
of the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph really serve every point in the

1.-The installation of wireless aboard
ships at present means that We place
an operator on the ship. The ship
owner either purchases the installation
outright--in which case he pays the
salary of the operator-or leases It,,
the Marconi company paying the OPP
orator. The Marconi officer ranks as
an officer OF the ship. He has to keep
constant watch, and on the big ships
this strict attention is so necessary
that two operators are maintained,
the messages being received by the
telephone ear receiver, instead of UNI
