CAR IS BURNED WHILE IN GARAGE Port Hope, Jan, 8.--Between $1,000 and $1,200 damage was done early Sunday morning when fire practically totally destroyed a Hudson sedan, owned by Wm, Bis- sett, Pine street, which was stored in the garage building at the rear of A, W. George's Funeral Apart- ments, Walton street. The fire is believed due to a short circuit in the car. The fire broke out early Sunday morning and was discovered about 9 o'clock by J. T. George who ex- tinguished the blaze without the assistance of the fire brigade. A small hole was burned in the wooden floor of the garage and the rafters were blackened. The paint on the hearse, which was standing a few feet away was slightly blis- tered. A high wind was blowing at the time and it is fortunate that Mr. George discovered the fire in time. The brick gara~e bnildin~ is very compact which hindered the fire from breaking out. FORMER CUSTOMS MAN DIES AT KINGSTON Kingston, Jan. 8.--George W. H.

This is particularly true when one realizes that the Angus Shops of the Canadian Pacific which employ these sixty-five-hun- dred men and through them sup- port, say, a community of at least Angus Shops, Inset o section of the grest tion within the Shop and right, setting the wheels for a new 3100 locomotive. twenty-thousand within the city of Montreal, is not engaged in the actual construction of its freight cars and locomotives, that the frames for the passenger equip- ment are purchased outside and that these shops alone do not handle the whole of the repair work of the system, there being other shops in the west, The present volume of work and the probability of further increases are due to the orders for rolling stock that have been placed with various Canadian steel car con- struction companies. The steel frames are built at Hamilton and other points in Canada and are taken to Angus where the finish- ing is carried out. One hundred and six passenger cars, including sleepers, diners, first class coaches and other equipment will have to be handled shortly by the Angus machine shop. Lower left, transporta- shops, while at present the con- struction of 40 cabooses, 7 snow ploughs and 2 rail hoists is going on, At present, also, eleven re- paired passenger cars and 120 freight cars are being turned out daily, and every five-hours and forty-five minutes shop time, an overhauled and repair >d '~comotive is returned to service. The Angus shops of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway, sitrated on the eastern outskirts of Montreal, are the largest diversified railway shops maintained by any railway on the continent. They cover 300 acres of ground and handle each year upwards of 29,000 railroad cars of various sorts and descrip- tions. The first two of the 3,100 , type of locomotive, the largest in the British Empire, were built at Angus by the company's own em- ployees and from its own design. PERFUME FACTORY WESTERN CANADA RUN BY A WOMAN Lavender Is The Prime Prod- uct Manufacivred By Mrs. O. M. Jones Victoria, \B. C., Jan. 8--The only perfume factory in Western Canada is run by a woman, Mrs. M. Jones, who established it as a memor- ial to her husband, who at the time of his death several years azo was one of the leading surgeons of Brit- ish Columbia. The factory part of the memor- ial was only incidental. The laven- der was the thing at first, for it was lavender that Mrs. Jones plant- ed on a sunny slope of old farm where Dr. Jones had made his sum- mer home for many years. A hill- side covered with lavender--that was to b> Mrs. Jones' memerial to her husband. The utilitarian phase of the lavender patch came after- wards. Not everywhere will lavender thrive happily. Sometimes it grows luxuriantly but refuses to yield its perfume. It is a rare plant in Can- ada, but out on the Jones farm in the picturesque Metchosin district lavender blooms with a profusion and richness of scent that is match- ed only in England and France. Mrs. Jones worked out her own formulae for the perfume after a great deal of research and experi- ment and then, to make sure, she visited France, went to the lavend- er beds and perfume factories of Grasse and Mitchin, and then to Surrey, whose sweet lavender is known the world over for its fra- grance. She found that her own ideas were not much of a departure from those of the old world per- fumers but she was able to supple- ment hor knowledge of the business and return fully equipped for her new vocation. And to-day her lav- ender enjoys a steadily widening market. PREMIER OFF DUTY TILL END OF WEEK Toronto, Jan. 8--Premier Fergu- son, who has remained at his apart- ment for the past week, combating an attack of the "flu", hopes to re- turn to duty before the week is out, and resume his supervision of legis- lation under way for the coming scs- sion. He has even carried on some LEGISLATURE OF QUEBEG IS OPENED Conservative Hope Lies in New Leader, Mayor Houde of Montreal Quebec, Jan. 8.--The 1929 session of the Quebec Legislature opens here today, and, in the opinion of po- litical observers, it will be a fateful one for the Conservative cause in this province, in that it may lay the foundation of a renaissance of Con- servative thought, or it may plunge the narty still deeper into disfavor. The whole matter revolves around Mayor Camillien Houde of Montreal, Conservative, MLA, for Montreal Marie. If His Worship can measure weapons successfully with the Tas- chereau Liberal battery and make de- bates produce sufficient sound crit- icism to impress people generally, many think that Conservative thought will crystallize once more in Quebec, and prospects for rallying the party will be good. May Be Expelled The Tascherecau element in the legislative assembly, while not afraid of defeat, is distinctly apprehensive of the damage that Mayor Houde may do them during the session. The Liberals, it is known, have a care- fully: -conserved plot to force the Mayor to commit political suicide on the floor of the House. Knowing His Worship's cbullient temperament, they will try to goad him into a scene, with the hope that the upshot may be expulsion by the Speaker of the member for St. Mary's. And if that occurred, the Taschereau men consider they would have done much toward weakening the Houde influ- ence everywhere, save, of course, in his own riding. Mayor Houde is on his guard. He wants to make this session count for a lot. Among other things he plans it as a foundation for a province- wide campaign which he and other 177 77.24 Sa members of the Conservative oppo- sition propose for next summer, RADIO COMMISSIONER ¢ hig FOR EUROPE Montreal, Jan. 8.--Hembers, of he Radio Commission recently ap- [ke ted by the Dominion Govern- ment have completed plans te, their journey to Europe, where they are to study broadcast condi- tions and all 'matters of stations missioners will sail from Halifax. These are Dr. A. Frigon, of Mont- real, and C. A. Bowman of Otta- wa. They are booked to leave by the S.S.

They are engagzel primarily in the reduction of pilchards for oil which is highly prized by Can- adian manufacturers of soap, varn- ishes and toilet preparations. By-products of the compressicn process are fish mea! for chicken feed and fertilizer which is made from the coarser portions of the meal, Some of the batter grades of the fish are cannzi for food, but as yet this branch of the industry has not assumed very sizable pro- portions, A total of 4,000,000 gallons of oil is expected to pass through Vancouver this year; 4 total which has grown from 500,000 .u 19235, In 1926, 1,898,721 gallons of the gold- en fluid were produced in British Nolumbia, while in 1927, 2,666,- 946 gallons were handled. 'These figures are increasing steadily, and no definite limitation is as yet In sight. Nothing is definitely known of the habits of the pilchards, but it is surmised that they spawn in the open sea. When and where has never been discovered. It is a pe- culiar fact, however, that only the more lusty and hardy of the fish are caught in local waters, the majority' of the young being taken in the more southerly Pacific around California, where they are canned as a variety of sardine, Fishermen contract to supply the reduction plants with pilechards and receive for them about $10.00 per ton. One ton reduces down to ap- proximately 5 Ogallons of oil and a quantity of meal which is sold mainly in California. The oil finds a ready market in Eastern Ca' ada and Great Britain at prices ranting from 35 cents to 55 cents a gallon, which would place the total value of this year's catch around $2,000,000. and listeners-in.
