An effort is being made to es-
tablish an airport at Banff, Alberta.
Government officials have inspected
a site near the present golf links
and the prospect that •a field will be
prepared within the next year is
bright.
A further supply of airplanes and
airplane parts arrived in Montreal
recently when the Canadian Pacific
freighter "Beaverford" brought two
De Haviland Moth planes, one case
of wings and two cases of spare
parts.
A call for tenders for a large
elevator with a capacity of 1,500,000
bushels has been sent out by the
Saint John Harbor Commission.
The new structure is to be erected
on the Colwell Fuel Company's site,
in West Saint John, the work of
construction to be got under way
as soon as possible,
A Cadillac sedan equipped with
rubbber insulated steel flanged
wheels has been specially equipped
by the Angus Shops of the Canadian
Pacific Railway at Montreal for the
use of the engineering department
of that company on inspection
trips. 'The machine has an extra
braking system operated by the
steering wheel and can make as
great a speed on the rails as it
can on the highway. Over seventy
miles an hour was made on a trial
run.
A big black bear tried to stop a
Canadian Pacific freight train the
other day near Arndale station in
Northern Frontenac county in On-
tario, and when the encounter was
over there was not enough of the
bear left to make a pair of mitts.
Bruin evidently wandered on to the
tracks during the night and was
blinded by the glare of the head-
light. Black bear are found
throughout Eastern Canada but
are not often seen, except ,curing
the berry season, as they are night
prowlers.
Addressing the Board of Trade of
Vancouver, recently, E. W. Beatty,
Chairman and President of the Can-
adian Pacific Railway, stated that
present prosperity in Canada is
clearly indicated by four main fac-
tors: Record of railway car load-
ings (showing the volume of busi-
ness), employment returns, reports
of financial houses, and building
construction. These indices were
of special value, he remarked, be-
cause of the wide range of activity
which they reflect. The gross earn-
Ings of the company, he added,
had been greatly decreased, how-
ever, by reduced freight rates.
A Unique piece of railway equip-
ment, a dynamometer car, has been
constructed by the Angus shops for
the Canadian Pacific Railway. The
apparatus is intended to test the
efficiency of locomotives at various
speeds and is placed between the
tender and the train during opera-
tion. The forces exerted on the
coupler of the car are transmitted
hydraulically to an Instrument
known as a chronograph, which
records upon t. moving sheet of
paper. It is stronger by far than
any of its predecessors and is said
to be the finest car of its kind orb
the continent. One of its first
duties will be the testing of the
new 4'81,60" passenger locome'4ve of
the C. P, R., the largest engine -hi
the British Ernpire.

Auto Is Self Steering
The heading of this article is not intended to mislead. The high power
sedan pictured above is all of that and more as the "steering wheel"
acts only as a front wheel brake, and all four wheels are fixed. Per-
haps the most remarkable fact in connection with this handsome auto.
mobile is that it was turned out, just as it appears, from the Canadian
Pacific locomotive works at Angus. There you have it! The wheels
are flanged, with rubber insulation between the steel tires. Supple-
mentary lights comply with railway regulations. There are staffs
for the regulation flags, a powerful horn—and a bumper. Canadian'
Pacific sateineers will use this car for inspection purposes.
