BOOTS AND TAN FOR Of the square miles of peat throughout Canada all have more or less fuel value according to the decomposition and carbonization that has taken place in nature Peat is nothing more or less than incipient coal and as there arc many kinds of coal from the lowly lignite shale lo the anthracite even so is it with peat Tho practical demonstration of Government at Alfred where acres were taken over and peat successfully manufac tured and sold in Ottawa for per tpn and where over tons were consumed with excel lent results has placed this qucs- lion of peat out of the experi mental stage Several hundreds of tons of machine peat were made by tho process and much of it used in Toronto Couth of King i Hotel NEWMARKET mean loom The cry of Long Live was in Chi cago on Sunday and was

effects a sav ing of twothirds of the coal that was now lost through the inef ficiency of the steam engine Here in Ontario wo had the ad vantage of power lines already extended over the country so that the application of electricity to ho railroads would bo possible without great additional outlay Hallway Sir Adam Beck his con clusions why the P should not now bo included in such an undertaking The P had not asked for any increase In rates nor for other favors It was a great national asset Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern were being handed over to country whether country liked it or not It was proposed that the Grand Trunk should not be in- eluded with the P but who was responsible for the P Was not the Grand Trunk and should they be allowed lo unlood upon country this responsi bility of a great western system and to retain possession of tho eastern feeders Tho P and wore not worth a button east Great Lakes except as feeders were found for them These feeders were to be bad

results Dickson process a harder product than that of Dob- son but peat was not ever made by it in a commercial way A peat firo may bo made to last over night by banking it pro perly and closing all the draughts it will burn until every atom of fuel is consumed and requires very little oxygen for its com bustion Its fuel value is esti mated to be about twothirds that of anthracite About it was sold by one maker during a period two years at per ton which at twothirds heating value of anthracite would make equivalent lo anthracite at per ton Anthracite at that time was a ton It is doubt ful if the difference in the cost of peat due to increased cost of labor is anything like in crease in the cost of anthracite so that today the comparison should roughly bo as favorable as it was fifteen years ago We must remember however that anthracite will probably never become any cheaper and will probably become even more difficult to obtain A number of men interested in coal question asked What

this particular problem has been solved in Ton years ago they said machines heavier than air fly Impos sible The great danger in the de velopment of our peat beds is the unscrupulous exploitation of
