He then produced facts to show how for years engineers have been perfecting systems of water purification and sewerage disâ€" posal until now it is actually criminal for a municipality to have an impure water supply or to endanger the lives of others in disposing of sewerage. He pointed out that by mechanical and chemical means sewerage could actuâ€" ally be so purified that it would be as pure as the water from a tap. Mr. Gillies gave review of the procedure in establishing a sewage and sewage disposal system. Turning to building construction, Mr. Gillies pointed out that usually the engineer is given a few particulars of what is desired and the money ava.ll-l able and from this data he works out preéliminary plans and estimates. These preliminary plans and estimates proâ€" vide a basis from which the final plans are arrived at. Mr. Gillies proceeded to show how each step in the work was reached, the various details attended to, WORK OF CIVIL ENGINEER EXPLAINED TO THE KIWANIS The speaker for the day was Kiwanâ€" ian Arch Gillies who gave a very inâ€" teresting talk on the work of the civil engireer. In opening, Mr. Gillies humorously _ warned his audience agginst pulling the old chestnut about taking pictures when they notice an engineer setting up his tripod to take measurements. This is humorism that he has heard so often that he :s liable to do something rash if he hapâ€" pens to be tempermental. The civil engineering profession covers a great variety of work which includes the location, construction and maintenance of railroads and roads; the design and construction of bridges, dams, tunnels, power plants, industrial plants, waterâ€" works and sewerage plants, buildings of all sizes, and drainage and irrigation works. He is also surveyor and should be a diplomat and business man in order to be success. A working knowledge of electricity, machanics and mining are also necessary. Needâ€" less to say, remarked Mr. Gillies, no human being could be an expert in all these branches of engineering, but at some time during their career most tivil engineers are called upon to use their knowledge on all these different projects. There are consulting enginâ€" eers who are experts in one or two of these branches of engineering and they are called in to act in advisory capacity in the case of large and expensive deâ€" velopments. Mr. Gillies referred to the many engineering difficulties that had to be overcome before trains could be safely run, especially through sections like the Rocky Mountains. Referring to the marvels of engineering in connection with the Rocky Mountains Mr. Gillies said:â€"*"‘Think of the double horseâ€" shoe tunnel! You enter the side of mountain, make a direct circle and come out directly below where you enâ€" tered; you enter another tunnel and come out again away below the point of entrance. At one point on the C.P. R. you can see the portals of three tunnels, one below the other, and you realize that your train is now several hundreds of feet down the side of the mountain. How have these marvels of engineering been accomplished? Proâ€" perly told it would be a long and interâ€" esting story." Mr. Gillies then sketchâ€" ed the procedure:â€"first the location engineers go through the country, travelling light. Their equipment conâ€" sists of a pocket level and compass, maps (if there are any), few note books, and a marvellous sense of direcâ€" tion and grades. One or several tria® lines are located on their maps.\ Latâ€" er on, engineers run series of tanâ€" gents over these trial lines, take the levels along the line and the topoâ€" graphy for a quarter mile or more on either side of the line. Their notes are plotted up in the office and the final and best location decided upon, the deciding factors being costs, grades and shortest distance. The final line is then located on the ground. Plans and profiles are made up, tenders callâ€" ed and the contract let. Engineers then lay out the cuts and fills, give line and grade to the contractors, send in progress estimates, and generally supervise the grading, ditching, bridges, culverts, tunnels, trackâ€"laying and ballasting, and finally hand over the completed railroad to the operating deâ€" partment,« after which another enginâ€" eering crew takes over the maintenance of the railroad. Large Attendance at Club Luncheon Enjoy Interesting Address from Arch Gillies. Grand Challenge Curling Game Arranged at Luncheon Monday. There was a large attendance at the Kiwanis Club at the regular weekly luncheon on Monday and the meeting proved a specially enjoyable one. At the present time there is an attendance contest on at the club between the Red and the Blue teams. Rivalry has reached high point and as a conâ€" sequence on Monday challenges were thrown out. These challenges evenâ€" tually developed into one noble chaiâ€" lengeâ€"a challenge to a grand Chalâ€" lenge Curling Contest on Tuesday evening of this week, weather permitâ€" ting. Both teams took up the chalâ€" lenge and the result was that arrangeâ€" ments were made right there and then for the Grand Challenge Curling Comâ€" petition between the two teams on Tuesday evening. It was decided to have this curling on original lines, such as six men on each rink, and ever‘y man skipping at some time during the evenâ€" ing. The visitor for the day was Mr Chapman, of Torpnto. Kirkland Lake Northern News last week says:â€""Mrs. M. McLeod, of Timâ€" mins, is visting her husband and other friends in town this week." In concluding his very interesting and informative address, Mr. Gillies said that if any of the members of the club were further interested in the deâ€" tails of the various activities of the civil engineers he would be pleased to loan them some volumes on the branch of the subject in which they were inâ€" the contracts made, and any Oobâ€" stacles overcome. The engineer‘s work includes attention to grades, levels, exâ€" cavations, materials, workmanship, construction, including plumbing, heatâ€" ing, plastering, flcoring, electric wiring. In referring to the plans and specificaâ€" tions Mr. Gillies said:â€""In fact, every last bit of material that goes into the building has to be so described and deâ€" tailed that the contractor knows exactâ€" ly what has to be done. During the construction of the building the enginâ€" eer has to see that everything is carâ€" ried out within the meaning of the plans and specifications. If the conâ€" tractor suggests minor changes which would be as good or better the enâ€" gineer must be reasonable. If the owâ€" ner desires certain changes in the plans the engineer must take the matter up with the contractor and have the change made at a reasonable cost. With this supervision there is no tempâ€" tation for an unscrupulous contractor to put in a very low tender, depending on making his profit by using inferior material and workmanship and runâ€" ning up big bill for extras. The enâ€" gineer also has to make out monthly estimates as to the payment due the contractor, and finally has to approve of the building on completion as being ready to turn over to the owner." SUPREMES NOW HEADING THE OSTROSSER LEAGUE Lions Win Three Points from Tigers Last Week. Every Man on Lions â€"Team Rolled Over the 600 Mark. â€" Standing of Teams in League. The standing of the teams in the Osâ€" trosser League to date is as follows:â€"â€" Supremes, 44 points; Lions, 41 points; Tigers, 27 points; Hounds, 21 points; Power and Telephone, 12 points; and the Gold Belt team, 11 points. The following is the honour roll for last week, no less than thirteen being over the 600 mark. The figures it will be noted ranged from M. Angelo, 613, to A. Sauve, 821:â€"A. Sauve, 821; R. Webb, 761; A. Tomkinson, 693; E. Reid, 673; K. Eyre, 672; W. Tonkin, 664; H. Fuke, 651; C. Brown, 643; A. Saint, 643 J. Roberts, 641; H. Daher, 635; D. Reid, 630; M. Angelo, 613. In the Ostrosser League bowling last week the Lions won three points from the Tigers. A noteworthy fact is that every man on the Lions team rolled over 600, K. Eyre being the star with 672. Supremes, who head the league, took four points from their opponents, the Power and Telephone team. The total for the Supremes was 3279 pins, withn Sauve rolling the remarkable score of 821. In the other game of the evening in the Ostrosser League the Hounds kalâ€" somined their opponents, the Gold Belt boys, by taking four points from them. R.

LINE TO HUBSON BAY Mr. Bourassa (Lebelle) made several comments on the bill. He thought the request for extension of time had been made too often. Continuing Mr. Bourassa said :â€" Colonization in northern Quebec and northern Ontario is extremely hard, but we have in those northern regions a remnant of what was formerly the hardiest and most courageous breed of settlers known to the world. Mr. Adshead: The voyageurs. Mr. Bourassa: No; they were the pioneers. The voyageurs never took to colonization; but they observed things, and when they came back ib their parishes they would say to their fellows: If you want a good lot, go into that bush. Some of them would go and cut wood there for one or two tions. Roads were extremely difficult In the Dominion House on Friday afterrnoon last J. A. Bradette, M.P. for North Temiskaming, moved the second reading of Bill No. 33, respecting the Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Railâ€" way Company. Mr. Adshead asked if Mr. Bradette could guarantee that the extension would be built within the next two years if the extension of time were gsranted. To this Mr. Bradette replied that at the present time conditions would not warrant construction. am firmly convinced," he said, "that when conditions warrant it the comâ€" pany will proceed with its extension towards Hudson Bay." "Explain," said some honourable members. According to Hansard Mr. Bradette spoke, in part, as follows:â€"The bill is for extension of time for construction and completion of a certain portion of a certain line of railway. This railway has constructed nearly 300 miles of line, 200 miles of which is main line and 80 miles being extensions. Two years ago this company came before parliament and asked an extension of their charter, which was granted, but they have not been able to carry on the construction work proposed, and I hope the house will grant the further extension which is now asked for. The first charter was granted to this comâ€" pany in 1890 for the building of a main line from Sault Ste. Marie to Franz on the main line of the Canadian Pacific railway. A few years afterwards anâ€" other charter was granted for the exâ€" tension of the line from Franz to Hearst, and as I said before this comâ€" pany has under operation nearly 200 miles of main line running from Sault Ste. Marie to Hearst and nearly 100 miles of branch lines. A few years ago they operated a weekly passenger service; this was later changed to a triâ€"weekly service; but last year they inaugurated a daily passenger service from Sault Ste. Marie to Hearst. When the first charter was given, the provincial government granted 1,500,â€" 000 acres of land, and 500,.000 acres went with the second charter. _ Most of that land is mineral and timber land, a great deal of which has been parcelled out and is under developâ€" ment. Practically from Franz to Hearst most of that section has been open to colonization settlements in places like Stavert, Coppell, and so forth, which are well known throughout our section of the country. I believe no objection will be put forth to the other extenâ€" sion going northward, because those who belonged to the railway committee in the first session of the new parliaâ€" ment, 1927, are fully aware of my acâ€" tivities in two instances; an application of a private corporation for a charter for the construction of a railway in the Red Lake district was defeated largely by my activities. The same also apâ€" plies to an application in connection with a proposed privately constructed railway from Iroquois Falls to the southern part of James Bay, which I claim was also defeated on account of my objections. Some hon. gentlemen may think this railway will run parâ€" allel to the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway. It is true it will be running parallel northward, but the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario is 135 miles eastward of the eventual conâ€" struction of the extension. Every hon. member, at least from Ontario, is fully aware of the activities of the Temisâ€" kaming and Northern Ontario commisâ€" sion and its alertness in railway matâ€" ters and so far I have not heard any objection to the extension of that charâ€" ter to the Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Railway Company. This company has been capitalized in the sum of nearâ€" ly $5,000,000. Most of that money has been spent and so far no dividends have been paid to the shareholders. They have their main line in firstâ€"class condition. They have been working on the roadâ€"bed for the last five or six years in a very effective manner and that line compares favourably with any publiclyâ€"owned railway or the Canaâ€" dian Pacific. Therefore I believe this bill will receive the sanction of the House. Speaking of the eventual exâ€" tension.from Hearst northwards which will tap tne Albany river, I repeat that this extension will not enter into conâ€" flict with the present extension of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway from Cochrane to James Bay, which very likely will have a terminal for years to come at Moose Factory, because it is nearly 100 miles from Alâ€" bany to Moose Factory. I do not beâ€" lieve it is necessary to mention the potentialities of the country in minerâ€" als, forests, water powers or colonizaâ€" tion land. A. Bradette, M.P., for North Temisâ€" kaming, Sponsors Bill to Extend Time for Extension of Algoma % _ Central and Hudson Bay Railway. ANOTHER NORTH BAY FIRE DOES DAMAGE OF $10,000 North Bay seems ta be having a series of fires recently. The latest was reportâ€" ed from the Bay on Tuesday. It broke out about 4.30 on Monday morning in the basement of the Transportation building and caused considerable damâ€" age to the Canadian Pacific Railway telegraphs. The fire is understood to have originated in the\basement of the telegraph office and a defective electric light wire is said to have been the cause of the blaze. An investigation into the fire, its cause, etc., was conducted by D. H. Bowen, of Sudbury,, district superintendent of telegraphs for the C.P.R. After the investigation Mr. Bowen is quoted as saying that the loss of the company would approximate $10,000.00. Motors and other expensive equipment in the building suffered parâ€" ticularly heavy damage through the fire. The fire brigade were very proemptly on the scene when the ‘arlarm was turned in and did effective work in extinguishing the fire. Mr. Bowen made particular reference to the very efficient manner in which the fire deâ€" partment had fought and handled the fire. In this connection it was noted that the saving of some special equipâ€" ment recently purchased was one of to build through the bush. It is true that the governments of both Ontario and Quebec have done a great deal to help the settlement of these northern territories; but the farther you get from the large centres the greater is the need of railway communication. Besides you cannot expect the settler in the forest toâ€"day to be so utterly difâ€" ferent from other human beings of his own age that he will work as his foreâ€" fathers did fifty years ago. He deâ€" mands more facilities, and his children ask for more advantages. They will not stay in the bush to be eaten up by the blackâ€" An hon. Member: Bears. Mr. Bourassa: No, by the black fies. Toâ€"day they will not stay three or four or five or six years up in that northern territory with practically no communication _ with the civilized world. They ask .for better roads. They wish to have a small Ford car as soon as possible, and they ask for railâ€" way communication to ship their hardâ€" won produce to the large centres. These people deserve consideration. Eventuaily the motion was agreed to and the bill read a second time. mt 4s are much favoured this Spring. We have them in navy with pin stripe, smart tweeds, tricotines and special suiting cloths from $12.50 to $35.00 COME IN AND SEE THEM the big factors in preventing much more serious loss and damage. Only recently the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. had installed new equipment of special kind valued at around $60,000 in connection . with the company‘s transcontinental carrier system. Through the able work of the firemen this new equipment was practically unâ€" hurt. Had the fire damaged this equipment not only would the loss have been a serious one but worse than that it would have taken literally months to replace this equipment had it been damaged to any extent. This would have meant serious disarrangemen of the service. As it was, the fire causâ€" ed practically no interruption in the company‘s business, as they were able to make use of the C.P.R. yard office and thus just about carry on business as usual. Until the damage to the building is repaired the C.P.R. uptown ticket office will be used as temporary quarters for the C.P.R. telegraphs, The Canadian National Railways teleâ€" graphs, which occupy adjoining offices in the building suffered very little damage. Credit is being given to Roy Yeoâ€" mans, of Toronto, for making the first trip this year by automobile from Toâ€" ronto to North Bay. He is said to have made the trip from Toronto to North Bay and then on to Sudbury in only 15 hours, which would argue that the roads must be pretty good. The Arthur E.
