COAL FROM ALBERTA
•
A few weels ago The News -Record
reproduced an article from 'The Free
Press, Alix, Alberta, telling about
coal in that region and we advised
them to "bring us along a scuttle-
ful." On Monday afternoon the edi-
tor of The Free Press, Mr. S. C.
Andrews, son of Magistrate Andrews
of town, who. learned the art ;• of
printing in The News -Record of-
five, walked , into this office and laid
a couple of lumps of Alberta coal on
the table. We didn't need it, particul-
arly on Monday, but it is still here.
Mr. Andrews is enthusiaistic about
AIberta coal and thinks it would be
a good thing for both Alberta and
Ontario if arrangements : could be
made for supplying it in quantities
here. He has- no interest in the
mines,` only in the development of the
county.
The smaller of these lumps is a
hard, clean, bright coal, and Mr.
Andrews assures us he has used it.
for years, feeding his cook . and
heater stoves much as one would dfr
with wood. It lacks the odor and
smoke which accompanies the burn-
ing of soft coal. It seems to be a
grade, between the soft .and hard.
coals. Those who havebeen burn- ^
ing it for some time recommend it, -
as suitable' b for all
e purposes, taking
the place ce of American hard coati, It �
is classed as sub•Mbituminous and an'J
official: analysis is as follows:
"moisture 17.5;, volatile matter 34,8;
fixed carbon 42.1; ash 5.6. .
• "There is enough- coal up .there,"
said Mr, Andrews, "to supply all
Canada for one hundred.years." He
Afterwards stated that it might hold N
out for a round thousand years, as W
nobody knew how large the"field
was. There are 'several seams. which P
are beitlg worked more or less. The.
total cost of raining the coal' a- S
mounts to about $2.83, but o8 course
a quantity of this will not •sell for 0
a first class price, the slack, for
instance, is sold for front.� w,.`,enty-five S
cents to 'a dollar a ton. he lump a
coal, the sort that we . would need ' e
here, would cost ,front $4.50 to $5 per
ton at the mine. $9 added to that a
for freight and the cost of handling fo
would bring the price up to a prohiib- a
itive figure' but Mr. Andrews thinks et
the Canadian National might haul
the coal at a Messer elite.' His idea is w
that if the Canadian -owned rail- be
ways .hauled the coal at 'a loss it e
would still pay in development of m
our own rescourees. "Send us the b
trillions of dollars you have been C
sending to the United States for la
coal," said Mr. Andrews, "and we'
will return it to you for manufactu- o
red articles," a
The difficulty with regard to de- st
Yeloping Alberta coal mines is, lack
of eapital and the wand of a mar of
het. "We've been- sending' yon eel. o
loads, what we want is to send it by 411
the train load,":said Me. Andrew, T

THE COMMUNITY PICNIC
Weather conditions yesterday
afternoon were against the Girls'
Auxiliary picnic.: There was such a
"feel" of'rain in the air - that many
were deterred from going and those
who did- were caught in a bit of a
shower, just before tea time which
wet the grass and sent them scurry
ing• for cover. Races and games were
indulged in by the`.boys and' -girls.
although the rain prevented the full
program being gone through, This
will be enmpleted and the list will
be published later.•

A BAD STORM »
The .terrific wind storm of Mon-
day ,night did much damage in the
counties of Peel, Halton and York,
destroyingproperty and killing seve-
ral people. Owing to the distur-
bance of the telephone and tele-
graph lines complete details are "not
yet in,, but the damage is supposed
to hav,i, been very heavy. At least
four persons areknown tee have
been tilled and oyer one hundred
barns demolished.
In this Iocality, we had the wind
in the afternoon, although no very
serious damage was done.
S. B.'s MOUSTACHE MISSED
Friends of Mr. Steve Stothers, dis-
trict agricultuarl representative, are
pleased to see him around again after
his recens severe illness. Beyond the
necessity oil having to use a cane at
tines, Mr, Stothers appears to .be in
almost normal-health,...A neat, elose-
cropped charliechaplin, which used to
adorn his supper lip; has evidently been
put away with moth bails for the
'emitter. ' Mr. Stothers and his cap-
able assistant, Mr. D. A. Andrew, are
on the job all the tirne so' that when
their services are needed anywhere
they do not have to be asked twice.
That agriculture is well served in
Huronwith such representatives is
the general opinion of those who are
familiar with the good work they
are doing.—Wingham Times
