The same buildings stand. That is why, It seemed to me, they still looked su temporary. They had been built by people who expected soon to make a tridue, and then move on.

Whent has been the golden lure of these, prairie provinces in times not so long past. It was as much a fever in these parts as gold was in Alaska, when Dawson City, ita capital, boasted a population of about 25,000, in these daya reduced to a skeleton guard of somewhere around 500.

When grain was cheap, na in the post flu seasons, onts grown on the place were cheaper to use as horse- feed than gasoline consumed by tractors Besides, Tractors cannot breed, and It's the second one of these mechanical aids which feels expensive, not the first.

Strange how similar this bit of the story reads to the farming news at home, Horses are a bright patch there In the farming picture, in spite of the mechanical age we live in. Well, when cattle and horses begin to show up on a farm, then it makes for a more per- manent settlement..

The old-time grain-growing farmer could shut the place up and be of tọ the city to spend his winter. But out here on the prairies one can see the beginnings of a change in that pro- cedure. Farm animals can fend best for themselves in the summer in such n climate A hard winter, and they want buildings, fodder and daily, almost hourly, attention.

Already, they tell me, the farm in- come in the three prairie provinces of Canada has reached a Afty-fifty basis, cereals accounting for one-half, with cattle, pigs and poultry making up the other.

The prairie farmer has begun to farm. "Depression" has mado hlin.

MOTOR CAR CRASH

ONE COOLIE KILLED AND TWO INJURED

One man was killed and two others injured, one seriously, as the result of a motor accident which occurred at the bridge connecting Island Rond and South Bay Road, near Repulse Bay, shortly after 4 p.m. yesterday.

The men, together with three others, were travelling in a lorry when the vehicle, which was on its way to Hongkong, struck the parapet on the bridge and bounced to the other side, throwing · off its occupants,

About 20 to 30 feet of the para- pet were, knocked down, with the bonnet of the lorry hanging over the bridge which was about 40 feet high.

The dead man was Won Chi- уап, 27-year-old coolic, of 130, Jaffee Road, who was killed atmost instantaneously.

Another coolie, Wan Lai, aged 20,; was seriously injured and the driv-| er, Leung Chi received, slight in- juries to the head, caused by broken glass from the wind-screen,
