ESTATE—149 acres of right on High- Montreal, Aug. 24.—Canadian- born engineers have just, com pleted constructing a railroad through forty miles of steaming jungle in British Guiana, and “they had first to kick the snakes out of the way and then lay the roadbed over and over again be cause the gravel kept disappear ing into the swamp,” says F. L. Parsons, general manager of the Demarara Bauxite Company, Ltd., who oversaw the job. Aluminum plants in Canada, turning out the metal which keeps the United Nations flying, forced construction of the new railroad, says Mr. Parsons, now visiting this city. “It takes four tons of bauxite to make one ton of aluminum and your Canadian, plants have been eating up the mineral at such a pace that down in South America we have had to open new bauxite mines. We now have to strip from tke bauxite an overburden of earth up to 100 feet thick. “It took a year to build those forty miles of road. It runs from Mackenzie, where we crush, wash and dry the bauxite, to a spot in the jungle called Ituni. We had ■unskilled l<ibor. And we had to deal with the mud, the snakes, and sometimes an ocelot, which is a South American tiger. “This job has added to the reputation Of Canadians, which is already high irt SouthLAmerica. They like us down there because we treat the people well. For in stance, our colored boys like to travel by train so we give them free rides on the railroad in pur Pullmans—old freight cars with the sides out and benches in. And we take good care of our white people, of course. Recently we found it necessary to build a swimming pool for them as they cannot bathe in the river with safety beesfuse of a freshwater shark called the piria, a vicious little brute about eighteen inches long, nearly all mouth and three rows of teeth. It bites off fingers and toes. In gangs this fish even brings down cows drinking in the river. It’s a curse., “Now we’re ready to operate our new road, which the people of British Guiana foresee will ultimately lead to opening up back country full of riches. I hope Canada will follow up the good impression t her engineers and other technicians have been mak ing. down there. Recently, the Daily Chronicle of Georgetown, said: ‘Taking a retrospective glance, one is bound to say that the history of industrial, economic and social development in this country in the past decade cannot be Written without allotting prior ity of place to the Canadians, our greatest Empire cousins in the Western Hemisphere’. “The job Canadians are doing to the south can, I believe, be built into a lot of good post-war busi ness.” DIES SUDDENLY Mr. Anson W.
