have only been open six weeks"
Geo. w. Kemper, who is spending

POPULATION. OF CITY
OF MONTREAL is 700, 900
The Figures Have Been Collected BY
Civic Author

A wide divergence between the fed
eral census of 1921 and the city's com,
putations is shown in report sub
mitted to DR.. S. Boucher, director OF
public health, by DIR. NJ O'Brien Ward,
chief of the civic vital statistics de
partment. The work Of the civic sta
tisticians, therefore states, has been
made very difficult of late, largely be-
cause Of the long lapse of time between
decennial census takings and the rem
edy suggested is at least a census ev-
cry five years, says the Montreal tSar.
Following through the comparison
between the Dominion and city's cen
sus, the report shows that the former
gave COS, 533 as Montreal's population
in 1921, while the city figures were
100000 or 81 ,467 more. Likewise, the
proportions of French-speaking and
English speaking citizens were far
from being in agreement. For instance,
the federal figures gave English-speak
ing citizens as l3o.062. while the civic
report showed 100000. In the same
manner, the Participating citizens
totalled 377 800, according to the Do
ululo0 Cturues Nntit tht ttNt uSntto
showed 434, 900.
Continuing. DIR. Ward says, "the fed
eral census did not give satisfaction TO
q great part Of the population as thu
idea persists in many sections Of the
country that the totals were mucE
lower than was actually the case. In
the case of Montreal, protests were
registered by the mayor and co mel.

In the 1911 census, however. the diff

EDMONTON LARGE
II RAW FUR CENTER
The Release of Skins from Russia
N Might Affect the
Prices.

MFEdmpnton is uRguestionably the
largest centre for raw furs direct from
the trapper, on the North American
continent" says Col. j. K Cornwall,
veteran trader and fur buyer of this
city. Col Cornwall has just arrived
Home from visit to Montreal and
Winnipeg, where he attended the fur
auctions, also from other large centres
in the eastern states, says an Edmon-
hpn special to the Montreal Star.
ArAs Canada produces practically all
the fine fur taken on the continent
lie says, 'the logical place to sell that
fur is in the Dominion. The fur sales
held at Montreal and Winnipeg can be
made more successful if Canadians
patronizcd them more extensively.
Further can see no reason why SINH
lar sales should not be conducted in
Edmonton, for it is the largest centre
near the actual fur producing country.
Were these sales held in this city, they
would benefit the trappers, the traders,
the city merchant and everyone else
and it IL about tim concerted move
WAS made in this direction"
@dol. Cornwall found that the fur
market was now in a healthy condition,
gamblers being eliminated and man
ufacturers buying at the market to
meet their requirements instead of
trying to corner the output.
From what he learned in the east,
&2l. Cornwall says that much fur is
beng held in Europe. Due to financial
on the other side of the wa
ter il is unlikely that Euporeans will
spend much money on furs this winter
and there is a possibility that the
stocks held there might be dumped on
the American market as there are no
traifr walls against raw furs. Another
factor, which might affect the price,
would be the releasing Of raw furs
now held in Russia.

WATER SHORT;
| POWER SLACK
Southeastern Vermont
Feels Effect of Winter
Drouth
FARMERS ALSO
HANDICAPPED
Big Power Companies Are
Calling Upon Their
Reserve Water

Brattleboro, Dec. 28.- Because there
was little rainfall last autumn before
! the ground frcze there is now seri-
Gus shortage Of water for the develop
ment Of electrical power at the hydro
electric plants in southeastern YER
mont as well as shortage on the
farms for the use Of stock. The warm
weather the past few days has made
no noticeable difference at the Vernon
plant Of the Connecticut River Power
| CO. on the Connecticut River or the
electric stations Of the New England
Power Co. on the Deerfield river, and
! it is said at those plants that no re-
lief is anticipated until the January
thaw.
Not in several years has the water
II in the Connecticut hcen as low as now.
At the power plant in Vernon there
are 10 electrical units, two Of 5000
horsepower each and eight of 5000
horsepower each. The company could
market full capacity night and day II
it had water to develop that much
power. but under present conditions
it is able to run only seven units dur
ing the day and only three at night.
In the daytime the two 5,000-horse-
power units and five $1,000 horsepower
units are used, but at night all but the
large units and five small units are
shut down in order that the reservoir
may fill.
TO help out in the emergency the
eompany's auxiliary steam plants are
being used, and power is being fur
nished by other concerns which have
steam plants, under reciprocal ar
rangement.
The New England Power Co. is
drawing on its big reservoir in Som
crset at the headwaters OF the Deer
field river, 100 cubic feet of water per
second, day and night. for five or six
DAVIS week. There have been times
when the Somerset reservoir was low
er than now, but not for several years.
Cold weather has interfered some
what with the work on the new big
earth dam which the New England
Power Co. is building on the Deertield
at Nottingham The organization
there, embracing -four different con-
Germs, has been reduced to between 400
and 500 men, whereas it has been as
high as nearly 700 men. The work |
OF building the core of the dam cannot |
be carried on when the temperature is
below freezing.
At the West Dummerston power
plant of the Twin State Gas & Electric
Co. OF Brattleboro, which has a capa
city of about $50 horsepower, only
about one third of the capacity is be-
ing developed. The company uses
around 300 horsepower, and what il
does not develop at its own plant Is
from the plant of the Con-
neeticut River Power Co. at Vernon.
The West Dummerston plant is lo-
Gated on the West river. which is the
lowest it has been in years.
