Canadian Pacific reports large salt herring crop and immigration rise
The Ena steamer carried over 12 000 tons of salt herring from Bar Clay Sound since November, nearly half the season’s output of about 26 000 tons. Immigrant interest is rising with arrivals ahead of 1923, especially from Europe, and US inquiries into settler opportunities are strong. Canada exported 6 532 pairs of leather footwear in January 1924, mainly to the United States, New Zealand, China and Japan, with tea imports totaling over 5.5 million pounds valued at 1 661 176 dollars for the month. Special immigrant trains now include lunch counter cars, and hydroelectric development plans aim to add 900 000 horsepower across provinces to support mining, pulp, and utilities. Miss Esther Mackie notes organized domestic servant parties under the Empire Settlement Act. The British Empire Exhibition pavilion showcases Neon lighting and transport-system paintings.
