AFTER YEARS

Edmonton. Alta Nov 22.-Long
supposed TO have shared with the
passenger pigeon the fate OF utter ex-
dnctiou, a colony Of one hundred
trumpeter swans has been discovered
iu British Columbia.
The discovery is regarded as an
event fin the ornitholoEical history OF

ment has dispatched an agent OF the
parks branch Of the department Of
the interior 20 guard the birds and a
special effort viii be made 70 preserve

careful protection to something Ike
its former numerical strength To
prevent raids by hunters the location
Of the lake about which the trump
erers make their home is being Kept
secret.
The last trumpeter swans known to
exist in the world disappeared 20 OF
so years ago. Their determination
was due TO the fact that instead OF
going into the wilderness Of the far
in the prairie farming country south
of the rranscontinenta line Of the
Canadian National railways, where
they became the faTorite game Of
hunters.
The trumpeter swan gets its name
from its bugle-like call It is one OF
the most beautiful members of the
swan family and existed nowhere in
the world except in North America.

BAD BUSINESS
JAPDEADLOCK
IN FINANCE

Toxic, japan. Nov. 22.-That the
present financial deadlock in Japan
must be attributed largely to the de-
fective business policy pursued by
the bankers In general was the
opinion voiced by viscouut Talzahashi.
minister Of finance, in the course Of q
speech delivered at a gathering Of
Leading bankers, according to the
Toxic Asahi
After declaring that there is much
20 be deplored in the business policy
pursued by the bankers at large, the
finance minister said. zone defect is
the neglect OF Investigate concern
ing the use 70 be made Of advances
from banks. If the security offered
IS reliable and satisfactory. the bank
ers apparently care nothing about
the purpose for which the advances
are used. One consequence has been
the unrestricted investment of capi-
tai in speculation. Such a policy
converts the banking business into
something little short OF pawn brok-
ering.
Another defect is the unrestricted
issues Of letters Of credit This in
discreet system must be held largely
responsible for the present enormous
congestion Of goods imported.
What Is essential IS the introduc-
ton Of q more public spirited policy.
There are numerous japanese bank
ers and business men who are re-
spectacle and respected as veterans
in their own line Of business, but
there are practically none yet who
command the same popularity as
benefactors in general business cir

FOR BUSINESS
Is EXCELLENT

at seems TO be the general opinion

sometimes painful. but It makes for

beginning OF 1920 the country was
headed toward trouble, and had not
corrective measures been taken by
wise and far-seelnE bankers, the
prospects for continued prosperity
would not now be so encouraging.

factor in industrial transportation. In
addition to this, the state has commit
ted itself to a constructive, compre-
nensive system of highways and
must necessarily lose heavily if the
system as whole is not carried out.
Economical transportation means a
continuous route of good highway from
the point of shipment to the point at
destination, and no stretch of road
can be considered industrially valu-
able if marred by frequent gaps of
almost impassable roadwav
COMPLETE SYSTEM
Moreover, the decisive majority
with which the people of the state
voted for these bonds on July /, 1919,
is significant of their determination
to have this necessary road system
completed In the face of the ire
mendous favorable vote cast it appears
to be the plain duty of the admins
tration to see that the will of the
people is executed.
For the obvious reason suggested
am urging the submission to the
cople of California of an amendment
raising the interest rate on the high
way bonds. ] shall exert every influ-
ence in my power to aid in the adop-
ton of the proposed amendment so
that the splendid system of highways
which has already put California IN
the forefront of the nations states,
may be entirely completed and offered
every community in this state easy
and inexpensive access TO every other
other portion of the state.
OFFER BONDS TO COUNTIES
| In order that the work may not be
/ further delayed. it is now proposed by
| the highway commission to offer to
| the respective counties of the state of
! California the present bonds bearing
IL per cent interest with the under
standing that the none ysubscribed
| in this fashion is to be expended by
| the highway commission in those por-
tions of the agreed highway system
lying within the boundaries of the
| subscribing counties. This will ell
able those counties with available
funds to invest in these state bonds to
have such portions of the highway
work done as their needs may re-
quire and the highway commission ap-
prove. 1T is necessary, however, 70
have these county subscriptions in or
or before June I, 1920, ii order thai
