Growth of Canada
Exceeds That of
U. S. Survey Shows
MONTREAL. Canada June 3—<JP
The Royal bar. of Canada has com
piled statistics showing that Can
ada’s rate of increase in industrial
activity since 1926 has been approx
imately six times that of the United
States.
An index prepared by the domin
ion bureau of statistics shows that
Canada has increased her general
volume of industrial production 12
per cent in the past two years,
compared witn a rise of two per cent1
for the United States as announced
by the federal reserve board.
Separating industrial activity into ,
several principal divisions the bank's
figures form a basis for these con
clusions :
Canada's steel production since
1926 has increased 58 per cent com- i
pared with six per cent for the
United States.
Canada's generation of hvdro- j
electric power has grown 49 per j
cent compared with only 19 per
cent in the United States.
Canada's consumption of petro
leum. during the same two-year pe
riod has risen 50 per cent compared j
with 16 per cent in the United'
States.
The bank ascribes the unusual de- ;
velopment of steel production in!
the dominion to extensive railroad j
construction and new building.
FORGING AHEAD
RIO DE JANEIRO. June 1 -Jm
Japan is forging ahead as a *s- !
temer of Brazil with two steamer
lines giving direct service between
the countries. In 1928 the oriental
empire took 90.000 pounds of coffee.
40 000 pounds of sugar and 60.000
pounds of frozen meats.
‘Lemon’ Nets State
$20,000,000 After
Forced Purchase
VIRGINIA. Minn, Jone
Minnesota owes a debt of gritituda
to a squatter who 38 years ago forced
the state to take a "lemon" worth
*40,000.000 or more.
The squatter had settled on a 160
acre tract tn southern Minnesota
wh*ch was a part of the federal
government's school land grant to
the state. Officials told the state
that it would have to take instead
160 acres near here, or nothing at
all. It was denounced generally as
a bad deal for the state.
Then, in 1891. iron ore was dis
covered on the alternative tract,
the Misaabe Mountain mine was
launched, and the state treasury
began receptiion of the largest flow
of riches from anv single source in
the commonwealth
An inventory Just completed shows
that the "lemon” has already paid
more than 820.000.000 in royalties
and faxes, and is only half ex
hausted.
It was only necessary to go a
little below the grass roots to get at
the ore and open pit mining is pos
sible with rail tracks laid right into
the 120-acre crater.
Down in southern Minnesota the
tract the state thought it was being
cheated out of is now worth less
than $20 000
