Mr Dechene from the Exposition in July last knowing that I would be leaving in a short time to attend the Exposition m my capacity of Secretary to the Cana- dian Commission, the Honorable Gentleman asked me to act in the interest of the Province of Quebec and to contm..eth«workhehft.lthor. be-^UM.

Ui^.n my arrival in Paris I at once reco-ni/ed tho results of his presence there, the jury havinir already ,:, several sections, rewarded the Province of tiu»'bec in quite a special manner. My duty was to push forward in the same direetion as he had done, and I believe that I can safelv state that Cnna-la and above all the Province ofQuebec, wassoremar- kablysucceslul at Paris that a complete report of the same s ould have been intrusted to a better qualilied and experienced chronicler than myself. Fortunately the correspondents of th. various Canadian news- papers at Paris have given full accounts of the bri Iiant exhibition of the products of the Province and ot the great commercial advantages to be derived from the rame. All nations at the jrreat Exposition have recognised the enviable position which she has secured through the industry of her people and through the quahtv, and richness of her products and resources The deveopment of agri-ulture, of manuf\vctures, ot the mer- cantile marine, of the fisheries, and of general commerce throughout Canada and particularly in the Province of Quebec, during the last 50 years, has been a real revelation s'.i n'onT ""T:^^ "^' P'"^'" ^'^^"*"^ '^' Exposition (Irom 250,000 to 460,000 entered the gates of the Expo ition every day.) ^ iirst ^of the P '"'""* "l:!"' ^""^^"'^^ °f ^"^»>«« ^a« the hrst of the Provinces of Canada to inform the Canadian Commission to the Pari.

The Government of Quebec obtained the realization ot Its object in making th.. country known even beyond Its hopes.

When Jacques Cartier, in 1534. upon his return from his explorations in the Eastern part of the country, now known as Canada, was received in audience, by the King of France, he had naturally to reply to various questions concerning the inhabitants, their country, the products of the same, the possibilities of commerce, the climate, the rivers of the lands which he had discovered. Cartier had brought back with him upon his ship, Donnacona, the chief of the then best known Indians of Canada, accompanied by other of the aborigines so as to give an idea of the appearance and physiognomy of these people. He had also in his possession samples of minerals and other native products to demonstrate the value of his discoveries. 1 tne trees and p ants nroflnr>f« «f +k • , -"owy frui.s a,^ g™i„ Call kind, .hot.d fh "r' °f„': d X? having kcp. ,his Exposition open for a limeTp., ^ H„c<,„a,.t de.orn,i,.ed .o .«J .he vh„ "X^ta to Fiance, where it was exhibited in 1787.

Almost superhuman efforts were necessary to collect (he various articles sent to the first London J!-xposition. A committee of fourteen members of the J^ogislative Assembly was named, to which were joined the Municipal Councils of the Trovince, the wadens and mayors, the presidents and secretaiies of .jricultural Societies and of Mechanics' Institutes. Notwithanding every effort to have the country show to advantage, large quantities of various products had to be purchased, as the local and Provincial Expositions laiied to bring out the required articles. The crowning result of such vast effort to brin<. together the desired collection, was that the total value olthe Exhibits from Canada, wa. under $10,000.00, and the value of the entire exhibits from British North America was a tnfie over $15,000.< 0. . 1 ^^^l fnn!?'*' ^* ^^^ P'^'*-^"* Exposition ^900) are valued at $200,000.00 and they were sent forward from he different parts of the country, with a readiness which showed that the people were wide awakeand willing to send every thing asked from them. The contrast between the abundance of the present exhibits and the scarcity of those of I«5I. gives a just idea of the development of the Dominion of Canada during the last 50 years. ^ ?K"i' »0.

(Jpon Honorable Mr. Fisher's representations we were enabled to obtain considerable additional space m the Section of the British Empire beyond the space already ^ranted in the Colonial Pavilion. This Pavilion, situated in the park of the Trocadero m ^ew of the Champ de Mars, and facing the frmou; Eiffel tower, covered 36,000 square feet, of which Canada received 27,000 feet. In this Pavilion \.-oductrofe"^^^ kind were exhibited : the Canadian Commission havin^ absolute control. "aviug, to the countries of their productiott as was the ease il former Eipos.t.ons. Thus the spaee allotted to Canada in the imperial section was subdivided between the diffc"enl classes which couid not be grouped in one block asThe Canadian Exhibit, although the articles exhibited w re accompanied by the complete and easily distinsuirhed address of the Exhibitor. Canada had ,2 000 squtreTeet m the diHerent classes in the section of the British Em — li- lt may be here stated that the space reserved for Canada was much too small for the products of such an extensiv.. t.-rritory. In eon>e(iuence of which it was necessary to make a most judicious selection of articles for Exhibition, so that the mostp.-rfect samples alone should be displayed in order lo establish their value or to main- tain their reputation. The Government wished to take charge of the Exhi bition of certain classes but even in these cases, it counted upon the cooperation of local organizations and of interested parties, to enable it to complete its collections in mine- ralogy, agriculture and in the products of the forests and of the fisheries in which all parts of the country should be represented. In manufactured articles the spirit of enter- prize of the private exhibitor had to be chiefly relied upon. It was determined that the Federal Government would undertake the free transportation of all exhibits from certain sea ports of Canada to Paris. The unpacking, placing in position and guardianship of articles during the Exposition as well as the repacking and return to Canada, of all articles not sold in Paris were equally at the charge of the Government. mm vSiffi ,W^S:> ,1, 1,1 THE PROVINCE OF OUEBEC AT THE Universal Exp:sitionofParis, in 1900 nnrf 7 r , ®°';""™'^«< of Canada dotermin.d to take part in th.s hxpo«t,on, it requested the coop..ration of'h!

This change, joined to the explanations given by the honorable c mmissioner to the difF-rent jurie.s, upon the qualities or he Quebec exhibit... had the effect of havinir these exm.it.s judged separately and of obtaining special prizes for the Province instead of p, allotted collect- ively as exhibits of the Dominion. Kv . ry one is agreed upon the fact that ,f the Province showed up with so much splendour, and was enabled to reveal the richness of her resources and her productions, in a word if the 1 ro- vince was able to causi' herself to be known and so highly thought of by the entire world.it is mostly due to the point iramed by the Honorable Commissioner who caused the Quebec Exhibits to be distinguished from those of the other Provinces and who fought so determinedly to obtain special prizes for them. Other causes which contributed largely to the know- ledge and appreciation of the Province of (iuebec at Paris were the eloquent>peeches of the honorable Mr. Dechene at the meetings of the National Society of Agriculture of France, where he gave lucid descriptions of the Province ol Its institutions, of its revenues, of the immense procrr.gs achieved in all .industries and where he knew so Veil ^ If ..

Th(^ I'rovince of Quebec was largely represented in the wood Kectiou. More than thirty satnples oi' our forest trees were shown to advantage in the Canadian pavilion and in the court of forestry. There was also a lot of pulp wood, pealed mechanically— a lot of butter boxes and other things. In fact so well was Canada represented both by the Government aad by private exhibits, that she made an excellent showing in the section of building and pulp wood. In the Court of Forestry at Paris, Canadian woods had a great attraction for visitors who gazed with astonish. ment at the log from Bristish Columbia which measured 2M feet in circumference. '- • ,,^The giant ot the forest from which this log was cut, measured 17 feet in diameter at the root or about 51 feet round (it was found impossible to bring out of the forest the enormous log cut from the foot of the tree ) ~*^The Canadian representative explained every thing to the visitors and presented them with the interesting pamphlet " La Richesse Forestiere dn Canada ", "Wood Pulp" and the book " La Province de Quebec." — 33 — «ha?I?r*""' •"'"'''"•*"' "f ^'^'•a'l'an woo.l i„ various y««o.o. ,ut80H8to iMi.ut.. thi. books iu H libfarv vrifh cni.rTvL»!;r'^'^" ""''■ "°°'' ■""""«»' "■»»' •>• parti- flrnrn.o 1 k ^ ^" eiiormous proportions As expressed by «omo of our disti,..,nushed writers \in become an eminently national business.

' -* — 34 — Besides this there is the certainty that the Canada spruce forests will never become unstocked owing to the rapid growth of the spruce tree, and the manufacture of pulp will be continued for all time because Canada is the only country in the world which has sufficient water power to keep the pulp mills in perpetual operatio?i. In an editorial article, " L; Bois, " a newspaper published by Mr. E. Julien at Paris, recommended the direct purchase of wood in Canada, and made the follow- ing allusions to the forest wealth of the country : " Canada. — Auain another ccuntry where the lumber business is the preponderating trade. The specimens exhibited in the galleries of the Court of Forestry cannot, notwithstanding their numbers and variety, give any idea of the importance of the business of which they are the objeci. Among the specimens shown are sections of white elm and Douglass fir trees of prodigious size. " The kinds of woods most generally used are white and black spruce (epiceas). The first is preferred for the manufactuie of wood pulp a business of large ])roportions in the country. White cedar (, thuya), spruce (sapin) are used for beams, post, fencing, &c. Red and white pine are highly prized for construction purposes. In Europe the latter kind, known as Weymouth pine is considered of inferior quality. Canada exports annually 133 millions worth of lumber the greater part of which is sent to Jingland and the United States. The local consumption is enormous, it is put down at 40,535,000 cubic meters. Exportation accounts for about 10 million cubic meters.

'•J>'fc*\ fd' — 3.J — Could Canada not furnish a j^reat part of this wood to Rutland ? Our interest should be to study the kind, size and quality of the timber required for the mines. The fact that Sweeden and Norway I'lrnish quantities of these posts to Ivigland shows us that Canadian woods, which are the same as those to be found ijrowin"- in the Northern parts of Europe, would be equally suitable for the purposes pointed out. Before concluding these remarks on the woods of Canada, the reproduction of the writings of Mr. Julieii, in the newspaper '• Le Bois", of the Ist Oecerabet, 1900, will not be without interest : '• Up to the present time, he say, French buyers have not treated directly with the lumber merchants of Canada. We believe they could avoid buying through the inter- mediary of (he english houses of London and Liverpool by con nunicating with the french consulates The " Patriote de I'Est " wrote : Here before us we have paper made from wood. For some years past the consumption of paper has grown to such enormous proportions that, to supply the same, recourse had to bo had to new processes. One of these consists in chopping tine the fibres of wood and converting into paper the pulp thus obtained. Although still of inferior quality the wood paper is being more and more used every day, this arises principally from its moderate cost. Canada with its immense forest reserves is one of the countries which furnishes the largest portion of this. The " Moniteur Officiel du Commerce ", published a circumstancial report of Mr. Gabriel Hostachy from which - 37 — "2 ::'z^z tdvlf'-i " '- »° »"■- blDositinn h„fi, u^. «<"'^»'itoSM derived from the taken i„ out tJurcer'"'' "^'"^ "' """""^ have Canada and aborp all fk^ t> ^ -Id rt;::td ?--"-- ~- admitted bv a "r f '"'""'' " '' ^'"'^''' " '^ spruce of l.a^,d?"'"" °^ ^^P" ">" "he white ^a^e ,^r^rL-iTaX^:„-^^^^^^^ '- - '" the re^v ;e' i^' "t"' "l' ™""^ ^■'^ "'»-' -""'■ted compri",^^ t Lake sITh" "' ""•' ''"'"""' "^ '^-'-. of .he Mar-i,i„., r:';i„t Th .77" T' "■ "''"' '""'' the Province of Ontario l,,/ '"■"°' '"S'"" '" i.; the -te:;:ftreV:r dr,t::ri:;7 -- ;:" "The latest exploration, made bv Can idi>^nr^,. agents in the Lake ^f t^k ^ '-•^n^^aianCxovernment 1 me j.ake 6t.

This amount of power, is said to exceed that which could be produced by the whole of the water courses of Norway and Sweeden." Mr Ilostachy concluded his excellent report as fol- lows : " In 1899, France imported 86,078,319 kilos of manu- factured pulp valued at 17,.ir,,664 francs, of which b6,HJ4^20 kil.)s came from Xorvvay, 21,111.2^9 kilos from Sweeden, and 5,G0o,3o9 kilos from (Jermany. Of chemical pulp in 1S99, France imported 46.42433:) kilos worth 16,712,761 francs, of which 11,634,716 kilos came from Germany, 11,364,049 fro.n Norway, 6,;no,774 from Sweeden, 9,304,407 from Austro-Huiiirary, 3 263,590 from Switzerland and 2,893,453 from Belgium. " A market such as that of France which imports annually 132,502,554 kilos ol pulp both mechanical and chemical or about 132,000 tons, worth 1,600,000 (rancs, is not only not lo be despised, but on the contrary is well worth the attention of all countries, which like Canada are continually seeking to create outlets for the products of their toil "The french market is therefore one, likely to become a most important outlet for Canadian pulp wood, which, from the statements of those well informed upon the subject, will find, especially in the South a proBtable field for business. " Further, Canadian pulp wood is included in the Franco-Canadian treaty and is permitted entry into France www — so- under the minimum customs duty. However Canadian pulp has been unable to take advantage of this cheap entry into France owing to the absence of a direct line of steamers between France and Canada. But this obstacle no longer exists and every one now predicts that the direct french importation of Canadian palp wood will ^ive rise to extensive business transactions and reciprocal advantages. ^ " We should here remark, thit the french customs regulations, which require that the pulp should be per- forated. have often been most inconvenient and a real obstacle in the way of attempts at exportation into Franc, by some ot the can.dian factories on various occasions Jiuch perforation requires special machinery «'hich the Canadian establish .nents cannot consent to adopt without he complete assurance ot a large and continuous exporta- tion and that they will not be liable to see their consi-n.- ments hampered by regrettable delays. '• No doubt the french establishments desiripc. t„ supply themselves with pulp from Canada will enterlnto communication with the Canadian manufacturers and with the French Customs Authorities, and that by serious action a solution will be found and all dildculties smoothed away. Finally we read in the " Petit Parisien", of the 6th September, 1900 : . c um "Every one knows that at the present time wood pulp s a most exclusively used in the manufacture of the paper used by the lournalsof large circulation. Certain am.rican newspapers, which publish not less than twenty, twenty- four and so:netimes even thirty-two pages a day! consume a foimidable quantity of this pulp and people have been — 40 — enquiring for some time past, whether all the forest of Canada and Siberia will suffice to satisfy the ever increas- ing voracity of the daily press, for the coming century." " A foreign technical publication treating of the consumption of wood pulp in the Unitod States alone gives us the following astounding details. Thus, can it be credited, that the principal journals of New- York. Boston, Chica-o and Philadelphia each require the cutting down of 120 to 125.000 trees par year, whi^h would form a forest of ten thousand hectares." Christmas numbers of these journiils, often consisting of eighty pa-^es use as much as 270,000 kilos of paper, equal to l^wo* hundred thousand feet of spruce loirs ! and there are twenty-two thousand of such papers in the United states. " Canada supplies the greater purt of the pulp requir- ed for the amorican press. Fortv-ei-ht mills are working in the Northern forests of the Dominion and the single Province of Quebec manuflvclures an average of 500 mil- lions of kilogrammes of paper every year." " La Tribune ", of Amiens, -published the foliowiu"- : " Although direct trade with Canada has more than doubled, there exists in this country a population oflrench origin, which has preserved the warmest sympathies for us We should be wrong in not taking advantage of the special situation created for us. " Canada contains immense natural resources, lumber is there in vast quantities ; the people consume our productions they fallow our fashions and use our fancy goods, let us therefore establish with them a system of exchange which will be of the greatest advantage to our m.*^ — 41 — manufactures and commerce.

The "Patriots de I'Kst (Ardennes), expressed the public opinion in the following sentences : " But apart from all sentiment the galleries of the Canadian l!.xposition are most interesting. In the first place we see a magnificent zoological collection, which would be the delight of a naturalist and which evokes the admiration and wonder of the whole world The Cana- dian Fauna are all represented. Birds, reptiles and fish are all there together ; but what receives the admiration of all is the collection of fur bearing animals, beaver witii hairless tails, sables of attenuated form, lynx, seals, bears and foxes. " All these animals are denizens of the vast Northern plains or of the forest which still covers half the Domi- nion, the trees from which have furnished the material from which are made the furniture and pianos which are exhibited elsewhere." Upon information derived from distinguished taxider- mists, it became more and more evident that the water transport of these animals, which had been so long exposed to the tropical heat of the exposition would be mos* injurious to them. The Honorable Mr Dechene imu.ediately formed the idea that it would be an excellent means of advertizing the [ richness of our country in - iil — fishing an4 hunting, to make a distribution of the ani mals among the principal museum, and in the most 4fted phce« m bngland and France.

The "Journal d-Agriculture" of Paris wrote as follows : Here are seen in ahundanco heaps of wheat, oats, barley, mawe bunches of heads of grain and in the middle of all bundles of timothy, a grass which is very highly considered by the Canadian farmer, who lind no fodder superior to it as a horse feed, bags of beans, of peas and of sun- flower &c., testify to the variety of plants, which are to-day cultivated in Canada to assure an abundance of fodder lor cattle, either in its green state or as ensilage. The above are the products ofordinarv cultivation- but in the experimental stations, on the model farms, new varieties are tried, the acclimating ot cereals and other plants which have pro/ed the best elsewhere, is attempted and the befet native varieties are selected.

I shall first mention M. de Caux, a well known French Educator,, who expresses himself as follows : "The "Freres des Ecoles ("hretiennes du Canada" have " obtained a silver medal at tho Universal Exposition. " This is an additional award to the prize of superior " merit obtained by them in other sections. In their show " case are seen magnificent samples of their commercial " education in which they everywhere show superiority." " The other " Congregations des Freres " are also " splendidly represented. Honorable mentions were •' awarded to the Clercs de Saint Viateur, to the Freres .Je " I'Instruction Chretienne, to the Freres du .^acre Canir- " It muot be observed that these particular awards " should be regarded as most conspicuous distinctions. " A Grand Prize was awarded for the collective school " exhibit of Canada, a Grand prize to the Province of " Quebec, and gold medals assigned to both the Catholic "and Protestant school commissioiLs of Montreal ^-^ 'K'- i^-a,.- ^'ft:^ •—0/ ■-.

" Wonderful, truly is the teaching of Les .Sa-urs de Ste. Anne, thoroughly earnest and complete. Their pupils are taught to think for themselves and one feels that they are obliged to do a considerable amount of personal work. We have examined with the greatest interest, exercises in philosophy, in literature, explana tions.ot poetry, and of scientific works, algebra and arithmetic, physics, chemistry and treatises on plants. All are of the same earnest character. An excellent idea which is there carried out pratically, is to give false reasonings and to a&k the pupils either to justify or refute them. And this habit of correcting others under the enlightened direction of their learned teachers shou d induce among these young girls a wise rectitude " of judgment. " In the display of Les Swurs de la Presentation de " Mane we noticed a beautiful work on the celebrated '• women of Canada. One of the peculiarities of the " teaching of history in Canada and one to which we do " not give sulhcient prominence here, is to give a great "part of it to biographical studies.

Nothing contributed so largely to making this Pro- vince known, as this Exhibition ot magnificent fruit. This with the show of cereals was the very best proof to furnish to the world that the climate of the Province of Quebec was favorable to the growth of the finest of agricultural and horticultural products and that it 'v'as a good place in which to settle and live. The demands for information were so numerous as to the fruit centers, the prices of land, on the most popular varieties of fruit, of the addresses of producers and exporters of apples and pears in Canada, that J thought it advisable to publish a circular giving the names" and addresses of the proprietors of orchards of from five to one hundred acres, who were known to me. Two thousand of these circulars were distributed. A manufacturer of an apple paste wishing to obtain a supply of the common Canadian apple, as a first exi)eriment, wanted to make a contract with Mr. Alex.

It was a isplendid demonstration of our system of prese*-- vation of food products. 1 ho visitors were amazed at the hoar Irost which continually formed on the br.ss tubes surrounding the cold chamber. Near those show cases, maple sugar and maple sirup were exhibited and were a great suc known on the other side of the Atlantic. Mr. McKinnon, ever at his post to give all information in French and English concerning the lood i^roducts which were in his ( harge, distributed maple sugar from the Province of Quebec and handed round a book of pho- tographs, illu.strating the Canadian sugar carapsand sugar bush, with boilers, the manner of tapping the trees, the transport of the sap and the old and new system of evapor- ation. Tht se photographs prepared and distributed by the orders of Honorable Mr. Dochene were greatly admired. If some day we should succeed in inducing foreigners to use nJaple sugar in th»^ preparation of chocolates, and general confectionary, we could count upon a large demand lor this product. By some misunderstanding, dilHcult to explain, the gold medal for maple sugar and sirup was awarded to the GJov.rnment of the Dominion instead of to the Govern- ment of Quebec. As all the samples of sugar and sirup, with the exception of one from New Brunswick, came from the Province of Quebec th« L'epartment of Agricul- ture of Quebec, which forwarded the largest lot, should at least have received a reward equal to that received by the Dominion.

They show clearly what iraportan. e the Itn.^sians attach to the protection of fruit trees. I venture to hope that these examples thus sot before us will induce those in Canada intending to lay out orchards, to do the same thing. Mr. Classinapp has planted on two sides ol his orchard a hedge of pine and a row of birch trees and on the other two sides one row of accacia and one row of birch trees.

It would perhaps interest you Gentlemen, if 1 gave a short review of the Expositions of some foreign countries. I^XJ&JSI-A. TOBACCO Russia exhibited some very good samples of tobacco gro^n m the Crimea and on the borders of the Black 6ea. The variety called " Lubu " is very aromatic and IS highly prized. This variety which came originally from Turkey, does not succeed in the North where the climate IS similar to that of the Province of Quebec. The Mak- horka variety does best in the North and in Siberia. The display of tobacco, made with intelligence and good taste accompanied by photographs of the planta- tions and descriptions of the merits ofeach variety from each part of the country, was very instructive. The Government encourages th.> culture, instructs the country people on the care to be given the plantations and on the curing of the leaf.

In Ruesia two botanic! species of the tobacco plant are grown. •' Nicotiana tobacum " and " Ni^otiail ^'^f^^ — til -~ rustica" which aro cultivated in a multitude of kinds und varKUies. All the varieties ot the first kind, giv^ .^ tobacco of a suporior quality, used in the making of cioa:-. a ^mail tobacco for cigarettes, and in general, the kind of tobacco manufactured lor the u.e of the well to do classes 01 the poimlation, wi;h regard to the varieties of the other Kind, they all give tobacco of an inferior quality, which is either smoked m pipes or ,n the form of cigarettes made by the smoker himself with paper of the ordinary kind. Of these varieties the Makhorka is also employed lor the destruction of noxious insects which are injurious to agri- culture and to the cattle. The cultivation of the superior kinds is carried on pnucipally in the Province of Kouban and in the Govern- ments of Koufair ,r.arnsoun Trapezound), ol Tauride (Aia feoulouk Ameriran,, of Bessarabia (Angouchete. and in certain parts of the Governments of Samara and Tcher- nigov I Goundi for cigars). In all other localities the tobacco grown is of inferior quality such as Makhorka and Bakoune. Some of the sui- .nor varieties, such as those for making cigars (Goundi) yield only a coars. tobacco with little aroma and are only used for making cigars of an interior Quality. The superior qualities, aromatic turkish (Dubec and others) up to the present have only been grown in small quantities here and there m the Crimea and in the Transeaucasus, althou-h experience has proved that Dubecs of superior quality and in no way inferior to the true Uubecs may be produced and obtained in these localities. ir "» THK DAIUY INDUSTKY. two principal groups."

SRAIN. In the handsome Spanish Court, retrospective Spanish art was disphiyed, a splendid collection of carpets irom the palace at Madrid and other products of the country. As there was nothing- exhibited in the agricultural li '.. which would be suitable to our climate, I have nothin- to do but to point out the false position which Canada, ho ds towards Spain ; in 1899 Canada exported to Spain only $.09,178 worth of produce, while in the same period she received from Spain goods to the value of $513,018. Still Spain in 1899 imported for local consumption, loreign goods to the value of .^165,74&.9;52. Canada's sales to Spain consisted of deals and deal ends from the Province of Quebec and of nothing else. Lumber from Russia and especially from Finland are admitted into Spain since 1888 at reduced rutes by special stipulations annexed to the treaty of commerce between these two nations. Russia on her part establishing reduced rates for Spanish wines, oils and fruits, commerce between these two countries naturally increased. Should Canada cross her arms and neglect this trade with Spain ? 1 he question is a sufficiently serious one to attract the attention of the Government of Canada, of the chambers of commerce and of business men generally. After these reflections I left the Spanish Court and visited the exposition of ■^ -..^fe-»i?* SxA/itzerland In lookingover ray notes Irom Paris I see that Swit. xerlaud a small country of three millions of inhabitants devotes itseli principally to weaving and working in me- tals in all th.ir branches ; but that still the dairy business has also an important position Notwithstanding a direct consumption in 1899 of 0.900.000 litres of milk the employment of 2,.J00.000 litres in the raising and futtemno- of animals ; 600,000 litres of milk were used for makin' condensed milk and 5,900.000 in the manufacture ol butter and cheese. Accoraing to an official statement distributed in Pari, the annual exportation of Switzerland amounts to Averay:,> valti.' in frau,-^ Cheese (hard; 38,019,000 Condensed milk 18,063.000 Fresh butter 7^5 000 It is astonishing to see that Switzerland exports nearly half as much condensed milk as it does cheese. The representative of Switzerland at Paris declared that this business is very profitable in spite of the compe- tition of Holland which exported to England in 1899 37,()42,304 pounds of condensed milk and The United States which exported 3,228,o 12 pounds Norway 11,972,576- " C^ermany 701,009 ''eJS'i^'n 2,677,808 f'^ance 24,602,848 In iSm.

On the contrary in 1890 Canada imported from Great Bntain condensed milk to the value of §h,c.8« and from the United States in lH9^. s.^4,883 and in JSLP, §137.711 worth of the same product. fvn.

A British Columbian cannot help feeJing proud every time he sees what she has contributed. He is at once home again in her fertile valleys, and with great tree., mountains and mines. One cannot tail to conclude that in mineralogy agri- culture and forestry, in their many subdivisions, our country has a magnificent futuie assured. And the benefits that must insure to Canada from this world-wide advertisement of her marvellous resources, it is impossible to estimate. He would be indeed bold who should en- deavor to fix a limit to that constantly widening circle. (Signed) J. T. WILKINSON, Vancouver, B.C., Canada. \7\'r% T^ — Il.'l-. Trocad.-.ro. Paris.

Although Canada has been very ahabbiiy treated regards space, she has one of the best exhibits in this class and the jury was unanimous on the point. Yet she had less space allowed her than other countries whose exhibit and forest resource, are much smaller.
