BBOM CITY WHERE WIIPA'1'.
IS ING
Port Arthur,. Nov, 2,411, 1921,
To The Editor of The News-lleeortl,
Delle Sir I was wondering 10 your
renders would like •to hear of ally
news of thing's sip this way. I Caine
up hero five weeks ago, corning by
be;t up the lakes, I had a lovely
trier up on the Northern Navigation
tie. steamer I'Ianiolie, a splendid
boort and splendid fellows to run it.
There were only ,t few .pesseng''ers;
es it wait late in the seesou, In feet,
that wits the last trip that they were
to take passengers, but \'l7 had a
jelly, pleasant time. My daughters
met me at the boat, landing et .six -
twenty in tho,„morning,
The weather Was boautif'ul, -though
the stir Wit a little sharp, hot we
had breakfast on the boat before we
landed, 1 find many things of inter-
est hero, The grain boats eonring
mail going constantly and the trains.
always on the move. We aro living
s'ig'ht in the Centre of thecity,,near
the top of the hank that overlooks
the harbour, and it le very interest-
ing to view the ever shifting Scene
of trains, boats and street eats, and
the mists and shadows in the har-
bour, and the boats, as they come
poking thele noses out of the mists
and reveal their' massive ,forms. One
has just•now gone out of the gap Of
the brealnvater " that encircles the
harbour. It had just loaded up With
three hundred and sixty-five thous-
and bushels of wheat to be taken to
Buffalo. I was -ever yesterday watch-
ing ahem load T11e boat was five
hundred and fifty feet long, lifts/ -
nine feet wide, and' thirty feet • deep,
and they were .filling ft up to ,,the
brim with Wheat.. Itgoes out 10 e'
and disappears from view in the pies
as if it „was going into another
world, carrying in its • bosom food
for many hundreds: of, hungry peo-
ple. Just try to think what a vast
bulk it carried; enough to -fill three
hundred and sixty-five ears of ane
thousand bushels to the car. And yet
there was a boat left that same Can_
aclian elevator this year with any a
few bushels less than half a million.
It is the largest elevator in the world,
It holds' tan millicnr Bushels and it is
a wonderful structure. I have been
all through it. It has facilities for
unloading. T think it is sixteen or
eighteen cars at the sante time, and
they have the latest invention in the
world for unloaci:.ng cars. The leaded
car is run on to a cradle prepared for
it and the cars are tilled near to the
top with grain, and a cage stands
in front of the doer and a man mulls
it lever and two strong' arias . ,ire
thrust out and catch the partition
that is built across the door to keep
the, grain in and thrusts it forward
into the car, when the wheat' hunts
out with great force and fails 11 to a
hopper tinder the car. Then a great
iron cable eatchesrthe bottom of the
cradle at near the end and thrusts
the end up, or rocks the cradle (but
its not quite like the cradle that I
used to rock),: until all the grain in
that end comes out like a miniature
Niagara. Then an arm about four
feet wide, is ,'thrust in on. the slant
to hold the Wheat from going into
that end again, then the cradle is
rocket)- back and the same operation
.with that end and there is only a
few scattered grains left in the car.
There is a belt about two feet ,wide
that runs below the hopper and car-
ries the grain to the fanning' mills,
of which there are a large number,
about five feel: wide, where the grain
is cleaned. It is conveyed from there
on other belts to the elevators where
it is carried up to . the ,ton ofthe
building where the bins are, of which
there Inc'about two hundred and fir-
t'y, great big, pits that . mattes you
shudder to loot: into. There are
tracks laid across the bins and a car-
riage en the trael: with a large
plug and a two foot belt runs
over it which carries the grails from
the elevator leg to the several bins,.
When one bin is filled it is moved of
the rails on which it rims tothe next
It is a most interesting opera-
tion, If emu think this letter inter-
esting enough to publish I may write
again sometime.
Yours, very sincerely

"Dear Sir: Following our usual
custom at this season of the year, I
beg to cull your attention to the 'dan-
g'ers to life and property front Christ-

harvest specimens and other inilani-

a problem that might be considered
by the • Parmelee Government in

Loging the attention of lion, Mans

something' wrong .•iii the conditions

ntand a price of five cents each in a
Province .where the world's finest
apples, are grown, Why are our
Northern Spies and Snows and Tol-
man Sweets outdistanced by the
British Columbia article? and look-

consumer, why should good eating

quality of oranges in a country'

fine apples as Canada' does each

HOW ABOUT rrnis, EIl, WHAT?
Imagine Ontario ,naldng at profit
out of liquor! It is, tbbugll, on the
word of James Bales, of the Ontario
License: Commission, and •whose
special work is the enforcement of
the Ontario Temperance Act. Gov-
ernment vendors, it appears, sold
hist year, $8,000,000 worth of liquor
on which there was a profit to the
pi/evince of $600,000. The amount
sold this year is not expected to ag-
gregate one-half- of last year's out-
put but the profit will be about the
same. Prices are higher. It is some-
what difficult to realize that Ontario
is actually making a profit out of
booze, And this is the province that
holds up its hands in unctuous horror
at British Columbia and Quebec!

Hospital for Bice Children
COLLEGE ST., TORONTO.
Througl, Support of Public, Ontario
Maintains Greatest Children's Hos-
pital on This Continent, •
Dear 112r, Ettitor:--.
Nowadays people look ahead more
than they us •d 10. 'ritey realize, for
instance, that the chill of to -day is
the citizen or the future. The pri-
vilege of this hospital is to pro,'ide
a service whereby tiny Ontario child,
who is weakly, may be made strong,
orstraight. it he is crippled, may be set'
Part of this service cohslsts of
personal medleal and surgical care
of the children, Part is In the school•
ing of docters.and nurses to carry the
ligh. of medical science into the
uttermost ouz'tierf of tete province.
The whcic is a contribution to
CHILD WELFARE work which must
commend the Hospital to the sym•
pathy and support of your readers. .
You probably saw a Quebec de-
spatch deploring the great infant
mortality in that province. One
great factor which gives the Ontario -
born child so much better a chance'
In life is the maintenance' of public
philanthropy of she leading Hospital '
for "children on. this contiuetit. And
that child, whether 11 be pallid of
cheek or crooked of limbs, 1s helped
over the rough sp013 of infancy mei
adolescence by this same Hospital..
Here are the average day's figures
of 1921,attendauoe;—
Cot patients 268
Other patients ... 158
Total • ..,. , .... , 426
'During the year the Hospital
actually saves the lives of scores
upon scores of children. It restores
health or straightens limbs for hun•
dreds more. Every contributor to the
Hospital funds is a shareholder in
an enterprise which. wins back
health and happiness for thousands
of children, and thereby gives ley to
thousands of anxious homes.
Remember, however, that every
child to whom the Hospital's doers
are opened—anrls none are refused—
adds something to ,the financial bur-
den which the GREAT MOTITER
C11ARITY has to carry. But it has
never defaulted ea its dividends,
which are paid not in money, but in
service,
The continued service of the Hos-
pital depends on the continued sup.
port of the public. A minute of
mercy costs fifty cents, and the clock
in the treasurer's ofice is six months
sip,. So there are alot of minutes
to catch up,
The Hospital 1s accomplishing
fifty per cent. more work than before
the war, 'Owing to higher prices it
rognii'es ahnost twice the money.
May I place that simple but serious
fact before your readers in connee•
Ow with the 4611i Christmas appeal
of the hospital for sick Children for,
funds to carry on another year of
service?
Faithfully yours,
IItVING 16. ROBERTSON,
