Ee AE REVELSTOKE PARK ONMNTAIN PEAK TOURIST PARADISE Canada's Newest National Playgrounds Sure to At. tract Thousands ABOVE THE CLOUDS Gem-Like Lakes, Scenery on Grand Scale, Easy of Attainment Canada has many wonderful na- tional parks across her great do= main, but among them all there is only one which is truly altogether a mountain-top park, and that is beautiful Mount Revelstoke Park, whose loveliness is, as yet, but little explored by tourists. Next season, however, there will cer- tainly be thousands of motor visitors coming to this beauty spot among the clouds, says Leta Me- Cully Cherry, writing in the Cana- dian Motorist, for now, at last, there is a complete highway, hard and smooth as a city boulevard, winding its fascinating and tortu- pus way right to the summit of the mountain, and making easy the elimb, both for car and for hiker. This fine new road is the muen- talked-of Mount Revelstoke High- way, and although, as a matter of fact, there is still a small amount of surfacing to be done on it, the Prince of Wales when he visited Revelstoke in the latter part of this past summer officially declared the new highway open to the pub- lic and an interesting ceremony took place. This is not the first time, however, that the Prince of Wales has visited Mount Revel- stoke, and indeed this new roadway already hears so many mementos of royal visits that, locally, it 1s always proudly called "The Roval Highway." You see the surveys for this motor highway, winding frome the picturesane town of Rev- elstoke down in the valley, up and up the steep sides of the mirhty Mount Revelstoke until at last it would lose itse!f in the heauties of the mountain top ahove the clouds, were started away hack in 1912, and this wonderland of na- ture would have heen thrown open to the world long ago, but for the outbreak of the war, All work on the new highway was, perforce, stopped for a time, hut in 1915 Prince Arthur of Connaught drove over the portion then completed and planted a stone at what was then the end of construction. The following year, his father, the Duke of Connaught, who was then Gov- ernor-General of Canada, od panied by the beloved Princess Pa- tricia, drove as far up the high- way as was then possible, and once more the end of construction was marked by a royal stome. Still later, in 1927, the Prince of Wales was able to drive up the highway for sixteen miles, and there he un- veiled a tablet dedicating the new park to national use. Again he visited it, in 1927, and finding the great highway at last practically complete, he formally declared Mount Revelstoke Highway finally open to public use. It is slow and arduous work, this task of conquering for human footsteps the stern sides of one of these. massive granite giants, but little by little the rough places have been made smooth, and the steep slopes have yieldsd some of their steepness, until now, not only can man walk up in comfort, but even his automobile can ascend in- to the vastness beyond. And what a climb it is! Upward, ever up- ward, in a great spiral of twenty miles, twisting and turning its cir- cuitous route through the breath- less hush of the virgin forest, dis- turbed only by the scuttle of a rabbit running frome the thick um- derbrush on either side of the road or the whirr of a startled part- ridge or grouse along the - way. There are huckleberry and blue- berry bushes, too, vivid in season with their toothsome fruit, and everywhere, smiling up at one, there is the fragile loveliness of the mountain flowers. Never ean one forget the ineffable beauty of it all, as, for the first time, one drove upward, as far as was at that time possible, in the early dusk of evening when the sun was just slipping over the peaks, and the glory of its setting was. a hene- diction of color illumining with eerie flamor the great snow cap of Mount Begbie across the way, More and more superb grew the way, winding along rocky ledges, and overlooking the grey-blue depths of breath-taking chasms, while stretching far beneath us lay the low green valley, smooth and as flat as a floor, and threaded far as eye could see hy the green flowing Illicillewaet, and the (HE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES.

MULTILATERAL TREATY 5 URGED Group of American Citizens Send Letter to Coolidge Washington, Mar, 21.--A group of promineft American citizens advocated in a letter to President Coolidge the immediate organiza- tion of a multi-lateral treatv to outlaw aggressive war, although the the Administration has made it plain that the term '"aggres- sor" in its opinion is not suscep- tible of clear-cut definition. The letter was signed by the same group of men who previous- ly submitted to the President a definition of "aggressive warfare." Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg has disagreed with the proposal of Premier Briand, of France, for the limiting of his an- ti-war treaty to wars of aggres- sion, holding that he is disinclined to 'see world peace qualified in any way," and that he has not satisfied himself that there is a satisfactory definition of aggres- sive warfare. mighty Columbia, the two great rivers which encircle the town of | Revelstoke and mingle their warers about one mile from tha monn- tain's base.

Leitch, vice-president and general mana- ger of the shipyard, states that a memorandum, relating to the ship- building and ship repairing indus- try in Canada was prepa... a + submitted by Canadian shipbuild- ers to a committee of the Domin- ion Cabinet, and copies were also sent to the members of the Sen- ate and the House of Co. moans, the object being to bring before the Canadian public, through Par- liament, the prospects and condi- tions of the industry in the Domin fon, Mr, Leitch stated that it was pointed out that the industry war an iutegral part of the develop- meng of any nation, and if properly encouraged by the country, could establish itself. ) It was urged that American competition, particularly in the matter of ship repairs, should re- eive attention, stated Mr. Leitch, + even the repair work on coast- # vessels is not now assured to dian shipyards. Government Inactive Up to the present, he says, the Government has not paid any at- ention to the importance and the cequirements of the industry in Canada, and it was thought that the owners of the shipyards had a purely selfish interest in putting | the matter forward. He sald that in a small measure , this is true, but there is also the | question of what it is going to do for the country, and, he stated i' will solve a lot of economic prob- lems, such as the unemployment question, The shipyards are again urging the Government to take legisla- | hive action in the matter, according to Mr, Leitch the action being the imposition of increase of customs duties. He points out that ships, while in the sense that they are dutiable ,are goods, are in their character and functions means of transpor- tation carriers of goods and passen- gers, and the rates of carriage in which alone the public is interest- ed are not determined by the cost of the ships, hut by competition between routes and means of travel. It is pointed out in the list, which contains the names, place of origin, and owners of 113 ships built in Great Britain for Cana- dian owners, for the Great Lakes and the ocean trade, and 204 built in the United States for Canadian owners, that Canadian shipyards have been practically idle for years while ships for the canals and the other trades, coasting and ocean, have been purchased abroad, He stated that had a fair propor- tion of these vessels been built in Canada, Canadian trade in general would have heen stimulated, be- cause in the building of a ship every industry is interested. Employment A further statement is to the effect that thousands 'of mechanics and workmen formerly employed in shipyards have been forced to seek employment elsewhere, many of them crossing the border. The Capadian railroads have lost busi- ness in the land transportation necessary for the materials and rolling mills have lost business that would have been profitable to them. Other arguments advanced for the cause of the Canadian ship- builders are that Britain's Huge Shipping Interests An interesting sidelight is thrown on the finances of the six great British shipping lines in a recent report from London, which shows that the Royal Mail group, which Lord Kylsant presides over, has an ordinary share capital of £41,490,- 500, and Lord Inchcape's interests, the P. and O. Line, comes next with a figure of £12,654,942. There are 658 British shipping firms at the present time, it is stated, with a total paid up capital of $273,675, 000, owning between them 4,144 vessels, totalling 17,197,000 tons gross, 23,145,000 tons deadweight and averaging 13 years of age. It is stated that this is 89.6 of the total gross tonnage of steam and motor vessels at present sailing un- der the British flag of over 100 tons gross. It is interesting to note that six leading groups, P. and O., R. M. 8. P., Ellerman, Cunard, Holt and Furness Withy, in the order named, embrace 73 companies, with a total paidup capital of £122,802,000, owning 1,416 vessels, totalling 8,- 116,000 tons gross, 9,955,000 tons deadweight and averaging 113% years of age, is 42.3 per cent of the total tonnage. It is stated that these six fleets are in fact larger than the total fleet owned by any country in the world with the exception of the United States. whose Meresniila Marine does mot exceed the totais of the six companies by very much. Immigration of both skilled and unskilled workers of the best class | would have been stimulated, With the exception of a few upper lake vessels, the shipyards of Canada in which nearly $100,000,000 are invested have, for some years past, been practically dependent upon re- pair work, a large percentage of which has been diverted to Ameri- can yards. Unless shipyards receive a fair proportion of building contracts they cannot : :.atain repair plants in a state of readiness and efficien- cy to effect repairs promptly in the interests of both vessel owners and shippers. Huge Sums Spent Large sums have been spent in building and maintaining canals, deepening waterways and in alds to navigations, These are placed, without charge, at the disposal of the production and transportation interests of the nation and are used also free of charge, by vessels un- der foreign flags. The general tax- payer is required to provide the moneys for these facilities and in turn should be entitled to the bene- fits of the industry which should supply and maintain the vessels that use these waterways, at least those engaged in coastwise trade. Under the United States' law, no ships may engage in coastwise trade unless built, owned and documented in the United States of America, while for many years the Canadian fleet has been main- tained to a large extent by the pur- chase and entry at a small rate of duty of old American vessels that are not a credit to the Canadian fleet, and whose purchase is a dis- advantage to national industry, and all the interests concerned in it, On repairs to American vessels made in Canadian yards the. Unit- ed States collects 50 per cent duty at the first port of call. Canada's rate on repairs to Canadian vessels in American yards !s 25 per cent only, and heing payable only if and when the vessel re-enters Canadian coastwise trade within a year, is frequently not collected, with a corresponding loss to the national revenue. Canada as a nation would profit largely in the returns from this in- dustry, and would assume a proper national position, and enjoy much greater national prestige if its laws were so amended as to place the shipbuilding industry and the rules governing its coastwise trade, on a par with those of the United States, our greatest rivals in shipbuilding, regairs and carrying trade, ENDEAVOUR LOST IN GREAT STORM Captain of Liner Tells of Bad Weather on Wed- nesday Last Boston, Mass. Mar. 21.,--Belief that the monoplane Endeavour in which Capt. Walter Hinchcliffe, British pilot, and the Hon. Elsie MacKay attempted a trans-Atlan- tic flight last week was lost in a great storm which swept a large area of the Atlantic last Wednes- day is expressed by Capt. H. B. Miller, of the liner Republic, which arrived from Bremen, Southampton, Cherbourg and Queenstown. On that day, 1,200 miles off the Irish coast, Captain Miller said, the Republic encountered a wester- ly gale, one of the worst in the officer's experience. The wind vel- ocity was at least 70 imles an hour he said, and the storm was uc- companied by snow squalls ana bitter cold. In 24 hours steaming the Republic was able to cover only 81 priles, although her nor- mal run would have been from 350 to 375 miles. EXPENSIVE MOOSE MEAT Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, March 18.-- A case which netted $300 in fines and costs was heard before Magistrate Elliott in District Court yesterday, the charges being preferred against six Finlanders engaged in pulpwood operations at Mileage 140 on the Al- goma Central Railway, of having moose meat illegally in their posses- sion. One of the men was also fined $40 and costs for having a rifle in his possession at the camp. The in- dividual fines for having the moose meat were and costs each, a- mounting to $46.70, or one month in jail, A Friend Advised Him To Give Them A Trial Quebec Man Restored to Health By Taking Ld Kidney Myr. Joseph Roy Suflered With His Kidneys for More Than a Year Waterville, P.Q. Mar. 20 (special) "Having met a friend who had obtained great relief by taking Dodd's Kidney Pills I decided to try them," writes Mr. Joseph Roy, a well-known resident of this place. "I took a few boxes and they have done me much good. I strongly recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills. They have saved my life and re- stored my former health." Availing oneself of the best in- formation, the broadest and mrost practical system of relief in the world today, is the one in which the sufferer ascertains for himself the nature of his disease and then chooses the most certain means of healing; this has been known for the past thirty years as the Dodd's Kidney Pill treatment. i All that is claimed for Dodd's Kidney Pills ig that they are a kid- ney remedy. They have been suc- cessfully used as a treatment for Rheumatism, Backache and Urin- MORE SCANDAL IN TEAPOT DONE CASE Connected With Qil Share Distribution BLANKET ATTACK Senator Capper Says Affair Rottenest in American History Washington, Mar. 21.--Specula- tion as to a hitherto unnamed high» er-up who might have been in- volved in the Teapot Dome scand- al vied for uppermost attention in the latest oil-political disclosures Monday with sharp attacks from both Republican and Democratic sources on Harry F. Sinclair's $160,000 contribution to the Re- publican party in 1923. The Senate investigating com- mittee will not meet until Wednes- day. Meanwhile, it is expected to make far-reaching inquiry into re- ports it has received Intimating that a high officlal or leader In United States life, yet to he men- tioned in the five years of inves- tigation, was connected with the oil cases in| some questionable manner. , This new tack by the commit- tee probably will determine whe- ther it will call F. L. Siddons, of Chicago, a witness who failed to respond when called on Saturday in the sub-committee inquiry there into the distribution of $60,000 of the Sinclair bond contributions which were handled by the late Fred W. Upham, treasurer of the Republican National Committee. Startling Story Senator Nye, Republican, North Dakota, chairman of the Senate Teapot Dome Committee, who with Senator Norbeck, Republican, South Dakota, concluded the Chi- cago investigation, indicated in that city that Siddons was expect- ed to tell a rather startling story. Senator Capper, Republican, Kansas, in a blanket attack on the entire Teapot Dome affalr Sunday night, asserted: "For spectacular rottenness, [I Chevrolet Sport Touring, wire wheels, extra good motor, late 1926 model.

He sald the Republican party must purge itself from the oll smudge and, by forceful action, show that it "indignantly repu- diates the men who participated in the rape of the Government oil lands," demanding the resignation of all Republicans in high positions who have 'contributed to the sup- pression of the awful facts" re- garding the Sinclair Continental Trading Company of Canada Lib- erty bond transactions.
