Mail services are in operation there
and in Canada. With the inroads
already made on railway traffic by
motor cars, buses and trucks, one
wonders what is to become of the
poor old iron horse. The deepening of
the St. Lawrence to allow ocean
transport through to Port Arthur
Fort William and. Duluth, - will we
think, also affect railway traffic in-
juriously, elthaugh it may have com-
pensating advantages. ' On the whole
the prospects are anything but rosy
for the railways. Many of theta are
in the hands of receivers and others
are showing heavy losses. To sur-
vive they must submit to economies
that in the past were foreign to raii-
way management. In the matter of
salaries, wages and working condi-
tions, railwaymen were the hierarchy

banclon. It in not compatible with Ted

collection of taxes to ensure pay-
ment of loans. They would have
been censured if they had not made
the loans. They are now censured
because they take means to collect
them. The plight in which many mun-

may have a disciplinary and there-

WHO WANTS A LOOSENING UP
OP LIQUIR LAWS?
. ,The following is a. copy of a letter
recently sent by the Moderation Lea-
gue of Ontario to hotelkeepers of the
Province. It speaks for itseif:
"July 14, 1982
Dear Sir:
We have now -veil founded the
movement trot obtain the sale of beer
and wine in the standard hotels of
Ontario.
We are confident that, if 'we pro-
ceed upon the present lines, -we will
be speedily successful,
Up to this point, the whole finan-
cial burden has been carried by a
few, . '
The expansion of our efforts, how-
ever, necessitates the securing of fur=
then financial assistance, and it is
thought that the hotelmen should now
bear their sham.
According to our requirements
and the closest possible cheek we can
mlake errs the ability of hotelmen to
subscribe, it will be necessary for us
to secure a minimum guaranteed
Monthly subscription of fifteen
($16.00) from each hotel,
We are enclosing a subscription
blank and would •asic you to kindly fill
in the amount you are prepared to
give, returning same to us, together
with your July subscription.
You will also note that you are
asked to suggest six hotelmen (all
outside of Toronto) to be plated on
the Provincial Advisory Committee.
Those six hotelmen, wee rereive the
greatest number of uouminations front
Yen, will be placed on the Committee,
where they can be consulted upon
plans and supervise expenditures.
A great portion sof the subscript-
ions from otelmen will go towards
completing their case for presentat-
ion to the Government.. Already a
great amount of data .has been col-
lected acid the present season will
yield more. We hope to have it sup-
ported and completed by the repre-
sentatives of other bodies and indiv-
iduals, and are confident of success.

13813 FISkL FOR FLARES
Indians of northern British Colum-
bia catch a fish known as the Eula-
chon or Dandle fish and afterthey
dry it they use it as a flare, the fuel
being' supplied by the oil in the body
of the fish. Apparently there is ,some-

THIEVES -BREAK IN AND STEAL
U. V. O. Robbed of 93 Cases of Eggs
Valued at About $875
- Some time dueling Tuesday night
robbers -broke into the United Far-
mers' plant on Josephine St., and
loaded 93 cases of eggs 'en a truck
and made their get -away.
The truck backed up toga window
on the north side of the building in
full view of the street. The window
was jimmied and the eggs loaded on
the truck. It is estimated that it
would take at Ieast three-quarters d-
en hour to load the eggs.
The only clue that was Ieft behind
was the jimmy that was used to
force the window, and a few wheel
marks of the truck.
Mr. Art Wilson, manager of the
plant lives 'directly behind the build-
ing and eves sleeping in a room Eat-
ing the back of the creamery, but a
jut in the building would make it
impossible to see the men in opera.
tion, also would prevent any noise
being heard at this point,
The robbery was not dissevered un-
tiI 7 o'clock Wedensday morning
when the men arrived at the plant
to start work for the day.
It appears that a gang of thieves
have organized to steal eggs as the
Gump & Langlois plant was robbed
of 90 eases of eggs about 3 weeks
ago, and the same operation took
place at Thedford a short time ago

British Statesmen Rel

The British delegation to the Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa, headed by Rt. Hon. Stanley
Baldwin, Lord President of the Council and former Prime Minister of Great Britain, despite its
heavy labors during the five-day voyage to Canada on the Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of
Britain" had its lighter moments. The scenes above show members of the delegation visiting the
Navigating Bridge of the big white flagship, and Rt. Icon. 3. H, Thomas, Donilnions Secretary, en-
joying a game of quoits. Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin autographs a picture of the "Empress of Brit-
ain" for Captain Latta, her commander; looking on is Geoffrey Lloyd, 111.P., a brilliant younger mem-
ber of the Rouse, who is his Parliamentary Private Secretary. Lower picture shows: Rt. Hon. Sir
Philip Cunliffe -Lister, Lord Hailsham, and Sh' John Gilmour, receiving a short Iesson in navigation
from Capt• It, G. Latta.- While the delegates were on the bridge a small steamer showed a message
of welcome, turd above is seen the "Empress of Britain's" signal "Thank you:"
