HISTORIC SEA VOYAGE
ENDS AT LONDON
Vancouver, B. C., May 30.—When the,
steamer Buenos Ayres with a cargo
of wheat from Vancouver dropped 1
moorings in the Thames river al Lon
don, a historic voyage had come to an ,
end. The ship was the pioneer of the!
new route for wheat from the western
shores of America through the Pana¬
ma canal to Europe.
At a banquet in celebration of the j
epoch-making voyage. Sir George Per-:
ley said that in the near future the, j
export wheat trade of Western Canada j
would he divided between Pacific and, !
Atlantic ports instead of all passing |
eastward to Europe as in the past. F.
C. Wade in Great Britain, said the
voyage marked the awakening of West
tern Canada to the advantage of the
Panama canal.
“Though the Panama canal has been
open for several years.” said Mr. Wade,
“there is just now a revival of interest
in what this shorter route to Europe
holds out for the Pacific ports not only
of Canada hut the United States."

SHINGLES

^T^HESE shingles do not rot, the nail heads
X that fasten them do not rust off, they do
not dry out, curl or split, wind does not loosen
them,
This is because the body of the shingle is made
of wool felt saturated and built up with Carey
tempered asphalt which protects the nail heads
and makes the shingle elastic, flexible and per¬
manently water-proof.
Carey Shingles meet the requirements of building laws
and fire underwriters. They are surfaced with crushed
slate which is spark-proof.
They are offered in red or green shades—the natural
fadeless slate colors. They require no paint to keep
them permanently beautiful. Place your order early.

comment on the ease with which the

to the full circle iron. The ordinary circle is but a
half circle ( ). In making a sharp turn bolsters
often run to the end of the track and become
“derailed.” Thornhills cannot do this because
their track is a circle ( O )•
Others comment on the fact that in spite of tre¬

The reason for this is plain. They use tough

that extends the full length of the axle.
