Mr. Flintoft assured the e committee that his railway has was "acted in good faith throughout drs. and in harmony with the desires of fo the municipalities, boards of trade her and a large majority of the resie will dents to be served by the projected line." Counsel for the Canadian Pa- roific outlined the steps taken by his company following the represen tations made to it. At the concrusion of the state- N- ment of Mr. Flintoft, Sir Henry AS Thornton, president of the Cana- dian National Railway, expressed his thanks for the fair manner in which counsel for the C.P.R., had Br- presented the case of his company. red Earlier discussion brought from yor Sir Henry a declaration of the sin- wg cerity of the Canadian National tn fx proposing to construct a line from he Melfort to Aberdeen. or .

Sir Henry added that the Canadian National would not give the C.P.R., running rights over the proposed eltort Aberdecn Jraneh line. ; jects to Suggestion Sir Henry added that the Canadian suggestion that he had referred to the Hudson Bay Railway as an ex- periment, "The Hudson Bay Rafl- way is reality,". he declared. "It is here and we propose to make full 'use of it." From the Nipeman and Melfort boards of trade support was voiced through representatives in favour of the proposed Canadian Pacific ' line. A. F. Totzke (Lib.-Humboldt) believed. The farmers of his constituency were 'entitled to the branch lines roposed by the two companies. upport for the proposal of the Can- sdian National came from Malcolm McLean (Lib.-Melfort) John Evans Prog.~-Rosetown) and Dr. A.

Em 0 Pittsburg, Pa., Mar. 6.--A 60- odd-year-old house painter who al- ways wanted to paint pictures and whose ambition was realized on after the three-score milestoné of his life was passed has been recog- nized again as a real artist. The ter, John Kane, who spends his spare time in a one- room tenement studio painting his canvases by flickering gas light, was awarded the Carnegie Institute prize in the nineteenth annual ex- hibition of the associated artists of Pittsburg. Kane, who still makes his living daubing paint on houses, barns and box cars, has had phenomenal suc- cess as an artist since a painting of his was accepted by a jury of dis- tinguished American artists for the twenty-sixth international exhibi- tion at Carnegie Institute of Tech- nology here in 1927. The painting was purchased im- mediately by Andrew Dasburg, well known American artist who was a member of the jury. Shortly after the international, the eighteenth annual exhibition of the associated artists of Pittsburg accepted three of his paintings and awarded sec- ond prize to one of them. Another American jury accepted one of his oils for the twenty-seventh Carne- gle international and it, too, was purchased soon after. Kane was born in Scotland of Irish parentage and for ten years he worked in the mines of Scot- land. After coming to America, he worked {n the steel mills and as a street paver. Then he began to Paint and has been doing it ever since, ROOSEVELT FIELD T0 BE OPERATED AS HUGE AIRDROME Will Commemorate Start ' of Atlantic Flight By Col. Lindbergh New York, N. Y., March 6. -- Roosevelt. Field, starting point of many a history making trans-At- lantic flight is to be converted into a $1,600,000 airdrome. Backers of the project say they are prepared to spend that amount to equip"and develop the field, which they plan to purchase. The field, now in the hands of a real es- tate company is 381 acres in area. A marker commemorating Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's New York to Paris flight will be erected in the heart of the airdrome, nea: the spot from which he took off, Plans include two huge concrete steel hangars, each 1,100 feet. long with a half mile of concrete aprons 150 feet wide. Workshop service stations, an administration build- ing, flood and boundary lights, bea- cons and other equipment for night flying are included in the project. A stub mast for dirigibles will be added later to make the airdreme suitable for both lighter-than-air and heavier-than-air operations.

As evidence to back up his op- inion, Captain Rowe recently of- fered an account of a trans-Atlant- ic flight he made in 1882, when he was the eighteen-year-old second mate of the Prince Edward Island barque Willie MacLaren. When | the two mates went aboard the MacLaren in Liverpool, England, on the morning of the day they were to square away for the re- turn trip westward, no sailors were on hand.

Washington, D. C,, March 6. -- An increase of 30,000,000 acres in the area of improved pastures in the humid eastern states is not un- reasonable, in' the opinion of H. N. Vinall, senior agronomist in the federal division of forage crops and diseases, He sees in the use of more crop land for pastures a chance to in- crease profits per acre and to re- duce the surplus of corn, cotton, wheat, and pork. . | Meat and milk produced on pas- tures cost only one-eighth as much as when produced from cultivated crops. The production per acre is graater from cultivated crops, bul the expenses for labor required by such crops also is much greater. "It has been found in New York State," Vinall cintinues, "that the cost of maintaining a cow on pas- ture, including the supplementary feed given her, was less than 10 cents a day; and returns from milk averaged 34 cents a day, When the cost of labor used on cows during the pasture period was deducted from the value of the milk pro- duced, the net'income from the pas- ture was $11.87 an acre. "On the other hand, the average yearly cost of producing crops in New York for the period 1923-1927 El was $40 an acre; and the returns $41 an acre. The profit, or net re- turn from crop land was $1 an acre as against $11.37 an acre -from pasture land. XS BOSTON TO CANALA 430 MILES, 27 HOURS Boston, Mar. 6.--What may be a record for motor travel between Boston and Canada was establish- ed by three Harvard students. The trio also won about a hundred dol- lars in'wagers that they could make the journey in a battered old open automobile of a popular make. it all started when James Byrne was overheard boasting of the staunchness of his machine. Even if it was seven years old and had piled up 40,000 mileage and its 4 wheels, owing to bent axles, all pointed in differemt directions, he claimed he could push it farther and faster than most people. Aller- ton Cushman and Robeson Bailey volunteered to furnish Byrne with company, Betting was spirited when a snow began to fall soon before the start. Some students offered odds of five to one that in the face of the storm Canada would not be reached at all. They pulled out of Harvard Square at 1 p.m. and reached St, Stephen, N.B., 27 hour8 later. The distance is estimated at 403 miles. "We drove the old bus like a motorboat--that is," we pulled the throttle down as far as it would go when we got out of Harvard Square and we kept it down all the way, or almost all the way to Can- ada," said Byrne. The students en- countered deep snow during most of the trip, but a snow shovel had been included in their equipment and they were always able to shovel their way out.
