AMERICANS NEED NO
 CANADIAN PASSPORT

Ottawa, July 2O.-One of the re- suits Of the participation of the Un- tied States in the war has been to banish for all time unnecessary i'm migration regulations in co nnnecttc with Americans entering or leaving Canada, whether on business or pleasure bent.
 Dr, J. W. Roche, Minister of the Interior tn the Canadian government has announced that citizens of the United States need no passports to enter or leave the Dominion. Amert- can visitors, he said, always had been welcome in Canada, and they ara doubly so now. Every effort would be made by officials at the border, this year particularly, to ia ciIitate the interchange of passen- ger rafftc going on between Canada and the United States. While Cana dlanns between the ages of IS and r. 25 reuire passports to leave the country, American tuorists and bus mess people are entering and leaTq- Ing the country as reely as eVfer.
 Men between IS and 45 entering Canada from Che Untied States on pleasure or buslnss may obtain from th Canadian immigration inspector where they cross the border, a card certifying that they are not ordinar- fly resident within Canada and this card will be accepted by any immi- grafton inspector at the port thru which such traveller returns to the United States, it'is officially stated.

Largest Gold Dredue.

A dredge company contracted with
The United States government not long
ago to build Notwithstanding levees on
either side of the Yuba River, Cal,
and to do it free of charge the condi-
tion being that the company be al
lowed to dredge for gold while fulfill
ing its contract. Accordingly a gold
dredge, costing $50O,000, was built
which is said to be the largest of it's
kind in the world An unusual fea-
ture of the mammoth floating machine
is that 1t has two arms, each 225 feet
long, instead of one. These are pro-
vided with 44-inch belt cOnveyors that
deposit the tailings on either bank of
the stream as the dredge moves along.
The digging ladder is equipped with
steel buckets of 18 cubic feet capacity
which can dig to a depth of 80 feet.
The hull which supports all this ma
chinery is entirely of steel and Is 1G5
feet long and SO feet wide. The gold
saving tables have an area of 5000
square feet.-POpular Mechanics Mag
