shadows have fallen on homes and families through weak or bad intention, but on the whole it has been a good year, a period of prosperity and happiness for people of the Eastern Townships.A noticeable feature is the number of golden weddings' recorded, also one sixtieth anniversary, and of the many aged people who have passed on, leaving the younger generation to carry on the work they did so nobly, and with such good results.«¦ »- JANUARY -% I -* 1\u2014Mrs.D.D.Shonyo, of Granby, celebrates ninety-first birthday.3\u2014Diamond robbery in Skinner\u2019s Store, Sherbrooke.¦ E\u2014Mayor of Waterville reports receipt of three flifty-dollar bills as \u201cconscience money\u2019\u2019 from Edmonton, Alta.Sender unknown.12 \u2014 C.K.Bartlett appointed superintendent of 0.C.R., to replace J.T.Reid (deceased).16\u2014\t-Hermitage Club, Lake Mem-phremagog, burned.Business of Union Grains, Lennoxville, formally opened by Mayor W.H.S.Downes.17\u2014\tWinter Poultry Show opens in Sherbrooke.19\u2014Rumanian \u201cKing of Hobos\u201d arrives in Sherbrooke;

FUTURE OUTLOOK FOR ASBESTOS CORPORATION IS MORE HOPEFUL AS DIFFICULTIES ARE REMOVED Various Causes Have Hampered Production\u2014Anticipated that During Next Six Months Company Should Work Its Way Out of Its Difficulties\u2014Unfavorable Weather and Poor Results from Main Pit Have Contributed Largely to Unsatisfactory Mining Operations in Current Year.MONTREAL, Feb., 23.\u2014The outlook for Asbestos Corporation is more hopeful only because it seems virtually impossible that any more evils remain to beset the company.In the past year misfortune has dogged the company\u2019s footsteps at every move.The miners, working in open pits, have been held up by execrable weather, which has rendered mining operations impossible for weeks at a time.Part of the tunnel connecting the main pit with the new mill collapsed during construction.Stripping operations being carried out in the pit were expedited by a landslide which, though completing stripping operations instanter, will necessitate a lot of work in clearing the pit of loose rock and earth.All these difficulties are by no means calamitous.True, they will hamper the company\u2019s progress for the next six months, but they are difficulties which can certainly be overcome.The world market for asbestos is exceptionally strong atj the present time.Prices are high,1! and foreign demand is keen.Asbestos Corporation, however, depends entirely on its mining operations for revenue.If the mills are not turning out large quantities of asbestos, the company's earnings decrease proportionately.It is thought that preferred dividends will continue to .he paid, as a fair surplus has been built up in the past two years, but it is not likely that the preferred dividend will be earned in the com-1 ing half-year.S:-«¦ ! Earnings Will Show Decrease.-« ! i In a recent statement made by | W.G.Ross, president of Asbestos < Corporation, the situation surrounding operations of the company dur-1 ing the past year were made quite clear.It seems certain that the company will show a decrease in earnings for the year ending December 31, 1928.Unfavorable weather nnd poor results from the mam pit, have contributed largely to the unsatisfactory mining operations in the current year.Moreover, the benefit which the company will obtain from the new Beaver Con- solidated mill, has been delayed by the collapse of the tunnel connecting that pit with the new mill.This mill is expected to come into operation in February, 1929, but its operations will be hampered by the fact that the tunnel now will not be completed until August.Arrangements have been made, however, to supply the mill with the necessary rock, until the tunnel is finished.Low grade rock has been encountered in the main pit, which has made it necessary for the company to handle a larger amount of rock at an increase in cost and a smaller margin of profit.However, the management has decided to change the present mining methods whereby much waste will be eliminated.While production may be affected temporarily, in the long run the corporation will benefit from the new type of pit operations.The ills of the company, therefore, are apparent, the remedies have been put into effect, and the various difficulties should be overcome in the course of the next year.*- Outlook More Hopeful.The outlook for Asbestos Corporation for the long pull, is more hopeful.In the first place the demand for the company\u2019s product continues to be satisfactory.The operations of the new mill on the Reaver-Consolidated property,w'hich will begin next spring, will materi-aliv lower cost of production.Various economies have been effected in centralizing mining operations, which should also be reflected in future earnings.Asbestos Corporation mines approximately 50 per cent of the asbestos produced annually all over the world.The company now owns or leases approximately 30,000 acres of asbestos bearing land situated in and about the district of Thetford and Black Lake, Quebec.It possesses adequate mills, equipped with modern machinery and plants, together with auxiliary quarrying and hoisting facilities, power stations, compresser plants, light-railways, machine shops and store houses.The company was formed in ANNUAL DAIRY PRODUCTION VERY LARGE Is Worth Between Four and Five Hundred Million Dollars Per Year\u2014Business Exceeds Many of Canada\u2019s Leading Industries \u2014 Prospects for Future Bright.\"When we read in our daily or financial press of the value cf a certain manufactured product in this country being worth one hundred million dollars annually, we think of it with amazement and a great deal of pride.and entirely overlook the fact \".hat the dairy and poultry products of this country are probably worth between four and five hundred million dollars per year,\u201d says J.A.Caulder, of Moose Jaw, president of the National Dairy Council of Canada.He said further: \"Probably during the past fifty years of Canada\u2019s development cattle land poultry have meant more to the.country than any other two or three j ,of our most important products of the soil, the forest or the mines.We , feel that the dairy industry has not had a fair show and that if it had a fair show we would not today he importing fifteen or twenty million pounds 0f butter per year to feed our own people.\"We are living in a country with great climatic extremes, where we have in many parts very severe wea-hher during the winter, and naturally under these conditions dairying is not the most pleasant sort of occu-i nation.It, however, provides a con-I stant source of income, which is necessary in any country whether new or old.Our cool climate has its advantages from the view point of the dairyman because it allows us to produce an excellent quality of milk and cream and permits of that product being handled and manufactured under exceptionally good conditions.Otherwise how could our Canadian Cheddar cheese have won such a name for itself, and it has a great name because it has been able to meet all competitors and still is without doubt the finest cheese in the world.It has also been demonstrated that our butter makers both east and west can produce butter that will compete with the best in the world.The cities in the eastern United States are keenly anxious to buy our fluid milk and cream and eastern Canada is ideally situated to take care of that business.This gives the dairymen in eastern Canada a great many more opporutnities to engage in dairying profitably than is the case with our western dairy farmer.Our own eastern cities are developing rapidly and perhaps the time is not far distant when practically all of the milk and cream produced in Western Canada will he consumed in our own cities and in the cities of the eastern United States in the form of milk and cream.We must see to it that everything possible is done to encourage the development of these markets, both within our own country and outside.In Western Canada our cities are developing owing to industrial enterprises locating branch factories and also owing td the development of our timbeij areas, our mining, and our watei! power resources in the northern por* tion of our prairie provinces.\u2018T feel certain dairying in Canada will develop very greatly during thd next few years and all that is needed is for everyone connected with tha industry to do his very best to sea that the dairy cow, properly called \u2018the Mother of Prosperity,\u2019 is given! a fair chance against all competitors.\u201d

Province of Quebec, by reason of tbe great variety and wealth of its natural resources, the extent of itt> territory and its geographical position, divided as it is in two main parts by the St.Lawrence River, one of the greatest of navigable waterways, is admirably adapted to further colonization and offers opportunities that cannot be excelled in any other part of the country.The choicest section of this area is that south of the river, a very important part of which is served by the Quebec Central Railway extending from Quebec to Newport, Vt., with branches from Valley Junction to Lake Frontier, 1 ring Junction to Megan-tic, Scotts Junction to Levis and Beebe Junction to Stanstead.There is perhaps no similar district in the entire Dominion that produces a more varied description of essenHal and staple commodities nnd with such an intensive commercial activity as the territory tributary to this line, which is full of promise for the future and steadily progressing year by year.Tbe largest industry is that of asbestos, tbe outstanding mineral of the Province, the mines being located in what is generally known as tbe Thetford District, which, incidentally, is the principal seat of the asbestos mining industry of America and in lad of the world.Thèse mines constitute one of the most prosperous industries of the Dominion, the annual production aggregating hundreds of thousands of tons which are exported to all parts of the globe.The only workable deposits of chromite in Canada are found in the asbestos district, which also contains several large deposits of soapstone, which is a mineral associated with the rock of the serpentine belt.I he territory also boasts of the largest copper pyrites deposits east of the Great Lakes, in addition to the Orwule» Pile* Carnem Jo.C ^St.Sioo®» f 2 BYS.QUEBEC r Glove m GlonceaterV pCAftjlN' \t l-CWfl h\\$ht jouettQ.Bt.JiiliPnney it.\u2019 GULP or r.ZA1T RE p-CH 'i-'vi»»' 1

for these metals.A gain of nearly $15,000,000 was noted in the total for the metals group.Cadmium, produced at Trail during 1928, was a newcomer among Canada\u2019s mineral products.Copper at 191,944,000 pounds, or nearly 96,000 tons, showed a gain of more than one-third over the total for 1927.One-half of the output was produced by British Columbia; about one-third by Ontario and one-sixth by Quebec.Gold Shows Gain Gold at 1,869,548 fine ounces showed a slight gain over the total for 1927; Porcupine mines produced more than 971,003 fine ounces and Kirklano Lake added 595,000 ounces; these with gold from other sources gave Ontario 1,572,000 fine ounces for the year.British Columbia produced 188,000 ounces.Quebec, 59,000; the Yukon, 32,000 oun- per, gold, gypsum, lead, lime, natural gas and petroleum output values, sand and gravel, salt, stone, talc and soapstone and zinc.Metals made magnificent advances, despite prevailing lower prices for lead and zinc.Improvement in prices of silver and copper helped to augment the total values the remainder was from Nova ScO' tia.Lead production\u2019 was 336,391,000 pounds valued at $15,484,000, m-\\reased tonnage with a lower aggregate value due to the drop in prices.British Columbia mined 95 per cent of the total lead produced by Canada during 1928; the re- maining 5 per cent was produced in about equal quantities from the mines of Ontario, Quebec and the Yukon.Zinc, produced at Trail in British Columbia, and at the Tetreault mines at Notre Dame des Anges in Quebec, amounted to 183,823,520 pounds, valued at $10,089,000, which figures, as do those for lead, reflect the growth in tonnage and the decline in prices of zinc.The average price for the year in London was 5.438 cents a pound as compared with 6.194 cents in 1927.Fuel, comprising coal, natural gas and crude petroleum, rose about two million dollars in value to $73,-420,000.Other non-metals, including a long list of which some of the chief items were asbestos, feldspar, gypsum, magnesite, pyrites, quartz, salt, talc and soapstone, were valued at $17,450,00 or about the same total as in the preceding years.Coal Tonnage Greater Coal tonage was greater than in any previous year; 17,785,000 tons were produced at a value of $63,-000,000.Little change was noted in the Nova Scotia tonnage or in the figures for New Brunswick and Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia showed very considerable increases in tonnage as compared with the totals for the previous year.Cement mills in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia, responding to the greatly enhanced demand for building materials, produced a new record output of 10,906,000 barrels valued at $16,803,000.Higher prices helped to augment the total value.Gypsum is a non-metal that has enjoyed a steadily increasing output in recent years.A new record was made in 1928 when 1,100,000 tons were produced.New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba and British Coumbia shared in the output, which was valued at $3,350,000.Lime production was valued at $4,170,000 a new high record.Salt, produced at about the same rate year by year in Southwestern Ontario, and in growing quantities from the Malagash mine in Nova Scotia, has come to be an important raw material in the chemical industry where it is used in the manufacture of bleaching powder, and a variety of chlorine-bearing chemical products.(Continued on page 13) Col.John Pope, father of John .Henry Pope, was a United Empire I Loyalist who, according to the History of Compton County, com-:p.!ed by the late L.S.Channell, ]with his family, removed in 1800 ' from the vicinity of Boston, Mass., the farm now owned and occu- pied by Senator Pope.So it will be seen that the Popes were among the early settlers c»: the village and they have been prominently identified with the growth and expansion of the village from its earliest days until the present time.from the street and with its ample area cC.lawn reminds one of a New England village;

Indians Apply to Government.| * \u2014-# About tne year 1790 the remnants of the tribe (finally joined the Lt.Francis branch of the Abenakis.These Indians made application several times to the Legislature of Vermont State for recompense for their loss of lands, and at the close of the session it, 179S they were presented with cnc hundred dollars in money, and again in 1800 with a \u201cpres.r.t\u201d of (fifty dollars, but they never received proper consideration for the losses they had sustained.In 1825 a party of these people expedient.1 hey located on the Missisquoi River between Swanton and High-gate, a place now in Vermont, but at that time a locality recognized as being well within the sphere of French influence.In some of the officiai despatches these Indians are retferred to as living in \u201cthe ILissisquois\u201d.There is no doubt but that the settlement was fostered by the governing authorities of New [\"¦ance.Very earlv a Jesuit mission was established there, and the maintenance of this settlemT7V\u2019|T.-\\y (ik Ytt'\\R's5 p'tpitru\u2019Q financing of Governments, niuni-KEMIAV 01 T EAR S FIGLRES.CipalitieE; agr;cuiture and the trade An Outstanding Year of Remarkable: and industry of the country.Growth.\ti\t______ In comparing the figures for 1928\tLOANS CLASSIFIED., with those of the previous year\u2019s bal- Diversit of Business Intcrcsts As-ance sheet, it is to.be borne m mind,\tsisted by the Bank.'that part of the increases are due;\t.to the incorporation of the figures: ^ ^ cuasuication Oi.our loans m of The Standard Bank of Canada; faaada as at: ,a reep.nf date\u2019tota'lms with our own.The combined figures|\t18 as follows, show an increase in circulation of Governments and muni approximately $8,000,060.in non-interest-bçaring deposits of $22,000,-000, and in interest-bearing deposits of $102,000,000, total deposits thus being increased by aggregate sum of $124,000,000.Balances due to other banks abroad at $48,700,000 are higher by $24,300,000 than last year.This is an unusually large; amount and is mainly attributable! to the high interest rates prevailing! in the United States, which have had the natural effect of attracting money from all over the world.Advances under the Finance Act at $18,000,000 show an increase of $9.- cipalitics.S 39,000,000 Public utilities,insurance companies, trust companies, automobile finance companies, etc.\t25,000,000!

maple sugar was manufactured to the extent of from two hundred to two thousand pounds annually; fish and wild animals for food were abundant, and in regard to schooling it was stated that there were about seventy elementary and two high schools, the latter at Sherbrooke and Shipton.Regarding the law of taxation there was one \u201capplicable to the Townships, wljich requires the occupier of lands, lying upon any public road, to do twelve days labor annually upon the road for each lot of two hundred acres, and in proportion for a greater or lesser quantity.\u201d Reference is made in a report submitted to the Company at a meeting held in London, to Lord Brougham's statement: \u201cThe capital from the Mother Country to the Colonies is not withdrawn from the Empire\u2014-it continues to support the productive industry of the community, and besides improving an integral part of the state, it directly employs and maintains part of the home plantation transplanted thither.\u201d Attention was brought to the fact that Great Britain\u2019s policy regarding protection of her Colonies enabled her to baffle \u201cthe united efforts of Europe to erase her name from the list of nations, and to raise herself superior to them all.\u201d *'-\u2014-\u2014-« Statistics Relative to Early Settlement.j %- # A few facts and figures gleaned | from the report in the book, as | extracted from the \u201cgeneral statistical returns of Lower Canada, laid before the Legislature\u201d, present conditions relative to land settlement in 1831.The figures relate to the counties of Shefford, Stanstead and Sherbrooke, which comprised some twenty-six townships listed in #¦ Sherbrooke County.(Thirteen Townships) Population, 7104; acres of land occupied, 113,816; acres improved, 41,113.Annual production included: Wheat, 23,146 bu.; oats, 26,223; rye, 10.644; Indian corn, 17,244; potatoes, 227,749.Sheep, 10,982; cattle, 8100; horses, 1478; hogs, 5031.The largest number of cattle, sheep, hogs and potatoes were in Compton, which also had the largest acreage occupied, while Eaton had the largest improved acreage, Ascot coming next.Several of the early townships were sparsely settled at that time.Stanstead had seventy-eight schools, Sherbrooke thirty-nine and Shefford twenty-seven; there were twenty-two grist mills and forty-two saw mills in Stanstead, also nineteen distilleries; fourteen grist mills and thirty-one saw mills in Sherbrooke, with seven distilleries; twelve grist mills and twenty saw mills in Shefford, with only four distilleries.It can be seen by the report that the amount of potatoes raised regulated the number of distilleries.Large quantities of barley, peas and buckwheat were grown, the largest amount of buckwheat being raised in Farnham, while barley was grown most extensively in Barnston.All the above facts relate to the preliminaries of the British American Land Company, which played an important part in the settlement of Sherbrooke and the townships.The office was opened in Sherbrooke in 1834 with the Hon.Peter McGill and Hon.Geo.Moffatt as joint commissioners.*\u2022 Modern Development.Following the above mentioned commissioners were A.C.Webster, John Fraser, A.T.Galt, R.W , Hen-eker and James Davidson.The modern development of the company began about the middle of Mr.Heneker\u2019s term as Commissioner.With Mr.Heneker were Mr.Lindsay B.Lawford, Jas.Davidson and A.D.Bostwick, ail three well known to older generations in this city.The office on Factory Street was abandoned when Mr.Davidson j died, and today business is done in I the office of Wells, Lynch and Wil-! son, with Mr.John Pcrley Yfelb, as ! commissioner.The company has always sold land at moderate prices, and in the early clays provided a large amount of labor in logging, milling and building operations, besides bringing to the Townships many settlers who made good in the land of their adoption.Also, a large amount of land was sold to native French people.For many years the B.A.L.Co\u2019s j mill on the upper side of the Paton ! Mill bridge operated and logs were driven down the river from Magog and other points along the Magog river.The company built the first dam at Little Lake; also the first bridge at Cookshire, where it

yard stick oi flourishing industries, the village of Bury may not loom large in the estimation of the reader.Its number of inhabitants is given as between six and seven hundred, and its industrial plants number but two, both wood working concerns, one F.M.Pope & Sons saw mill, manufacturers of hardwood, lumber and railroad shims; and sash and door and carriage factory'.But in the natural beauty of its setting, with its neat if unpretentious homes, it possesses a charm all its own.It must have been laid out when land was cheap, and \"the sky the limit,\u201d as sporting men say, for it is nearly two miles from the upper end of the village to the border limits of the lower village.The center of the village occupies a level plateau through which runs a wide avenue and this plateau is flanked on one side by a high ridge, and on the other by groves of maple and birch with which are intermingled evergreen trees.As one sees it for the first time the lines of Goldsmith are recalled to mind, \u201cSweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain.\" So if the inhabitants of this ; Sherbrooke.One branch of the srov-pleasan: village cannot toast of its eminent highway from the New many

Bury.At seventy-eight his mihd is dear am.memory reten.ive of the events connected with the early days of the village and its growth in he meantime.He was born in Bury in 1831 and recollects when the village comprised less than a dozen dwellings and shops.On the site of -what is now Cathcart\u2019s store stood Llaclver\u2019s old store.Opposite it was the old post office and Lemuel Pope \"as postmaster, while on the site of the present Grand View Hotel, stood' the cld hotel, kept by Mr.o'.W.Merrill, and which was burned down.Next to the old hotel stood1 a dwelling hou e owned by a man j named Ebbs, now occupied by Mrs.j MacLeod.The house now owned amL occupied by Dr.MacCrea was built | and occupied by Mr.Maelver, and is supposed to be the oldest dwell-j ir.g house in the
