There is ‘also the added advantage of hav- ing been able to supply his buyers with the least possible delay. Btatistical returns show that dure ing the past year the free port at Btockholm earned the interest on the {nvestment and even a slight surplus. The free port pf Gothenburg, during Jess than two months, has been used by 230 ships, chiefly American and Duteh; and the traffic is now growing #0 that the Gothenburg Bank has opened & special branch office within the pert.

There are about 5,000 of the sect working farms outside the original Doukhobor com- munal colony over which Peter Veri- gin is the head, Verigin's followers in Saskatchewan and British Colum- bia are not involved. Two agents from the independent districts, which have béen formed by offshoots from the original communal colony, have been in Russia and have Just returned to Canada.” No definite information is available as to the na- ture of their report on the proposed trek back to Europe.

Only one game, that against Washington and Jefferson, was tied. The powerful California scoring machine, rated one of the strongest in the nation, piled up 1,220 points in {ts 28 games during the three sea- sons and held {ts opponents to 81 points. The Bears have scored 15 points to every one scored by an op- posing team over the period, California, during the three seasons, met the strongest teams it could find. All the Pacific coast conference elev- ens, including Washington State, Ore- gon, Southern California, Stanford and Washington were played and de- feated. “In addition, ‘the Bears two years ago won from Ohio State, then champion of the Big Ten, and at- tempted to play Princeton, Yale or Harvard, but a game could not be arranged. During the three years the highest score made by California was 127 points, made against the weaker St. Mary's college eleven. In that game the Bears scored an average of 2.1 points a minute, Another record score 38-0 was made by California in 1920 in the “big game” against its old rival, Btanford, Next year may find a weaker team at California because eight of the Bear veterans, stars for three years, will be graduated in the spring. Among them are “Brick” Muller, all- |§ American end, “Duke” Morrison, who ranks among the highest.scoring full- backs in the country and Art Erb, auarterback, one of the ‘greatest field ||§ generals ever developed ohithe coast. Andy Smith, California coach, how- ever, has another eleven in prepara- tion for next year which observers believe will take its plage above the average western team. PROVID!
