A, SE ---- Addreas EXPERTS T0 STUDY TERMINAL DISPUTE Plan Suggested to Secure Action in Montreal Situation Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 27.--The ap- pointment of a body of independent experts to advise on Montreal's ter- minal railway problem will he con- sidered hy the Government next return to the capital, This procedure 1s favored by some who want to bring the ques- tion to a head. Whether or not this course will be followed, however, will depend entirely upon the advice of the two Montreal district ministers, Mr, Carden and Mr. Rjnfret. It is conceded that the question has to be dealt with and, if out- siders are employed, it will he be- cause of the helief that nearly all of the competent Canadian engin. eering experts are retained by one railway system or the other and committed to their views as to the best solution of the prohlem. Wide Disparity It is abundantly apparent that a wide disparity exists hetween the views ands plans of the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian National, At the head of the suggested body or, at least as the ultimate consult- ant, it 1s proposed to engage Fred- erick Palmer, port and terminal authority of London, who some weeks ago made a superficial ex- amination of the situation and In- terviewed different parties interest- ed. This, however, was only in a preliminary way. Any compre- hensive scheme, looking to ome great terminal, would require ex- haustive investigation and engin- eering plans and calculations, Terminal plans have already been evolved hut each railway sys- tem has ideas of its own. The Ca- nadian Pacific, having regard to its huge investment at Windsor street, would want to stay there, although it has a plan whereby the Canadian National, in a much enlarged ter- minal, could also he accommodat- ed. On the other hand the Canadian National has a big plan of its own for a terminal centred around the mouth of the Tunnel in the Dor- chester street distict. It is said here that the C. N, R, would not take kindly to becopi- ing tenants of the C. P, R, althougn a joint enterprise, operating through a holding company on the line of the Toronto Terminals Ran- way, might submerge much of this opposition. Wedded to Scheme Nevertheless the C. N, R, seems pretty well wedded to its own plan, Frome what is learned, the pros- pects of harmonizing the views of the twe systems are not consider- ed promising, unless and until an independent body goes into the sit- pation and sets its imprematur on one plan or the other, or upon an entirely new one. Such is the present proposition and as stated it is to be the subject of consideration next month with the Montreal district ministers Jike- Ir to have a good deal to say shout DIXON COAL CO.

PERTH fo month when more of the ministers] ing Account of Travels to The Times from Pasadena, a n has kindly sent Times an out- the Sierra osemite Val- ip Cross through forests. This account will be of in- terest to many Oshawa residents: "It was not until after the coming from about 1827 that the first cross- ing of the Sierra Nevadas was made by the white man and years after- wards that the discovery of the vast clefts and gorges and lofty giant forests and mineral wealth was made. osemite Valley was discovered in (1851 while the giant trees were dis- covered in 1857, which was about the same decade as the gold discovery and rush of 1849. "Since then and especially since the rising tide of the automobile and improved roads, increasing thous- ands of pecple have visited Yosemite, in fact well constructed highways now run right into the floor of Yose- mite Valley, although to higher ele- vations and to the Big Tree forests only dirt roads are available which although steep in parts are quite ac- cessible to the automobile. "Considering these conditions to- gether with the good highway ser- vices and modern facilities for camp- ing, we struck out on a trip to these parts via the Ridge Route from Los Angeles and which I will endeavor in the main part to describe. "After getting well clear of the city and suburbs the first real step in the journey was the crossing of part of the coast range of mountains ctween San Fernando Valley over one of the through State highways, the "Ridge Route" popularly known and justly famous, not only on ac- count of it being a short cut north but due to its mountains and scenic qualities together with the scientific and modernized consruction of the roads with its many winding and roll- ing grades and turns rising to an elevation of aver 4000 feet, the his- torical Tejon Pass on this route be- ing on an elevation of 4230 feet. "This well known route is said to be one of the best examples and most wonderful of modern mountain highways in America. In spite of the heights, so safe has the road construction been planned and de- veloped that a tremendous volume of traffic including a considerable amount of heavy trucks and stages lying between Los Angeles and San Likin: Bu and points between, run continuously day and night with safety the year round, "On our first night out close to the Tejon Pass we camped over- night because it was cooler for sleep- ing and to get an early start with the benefit of the cooler early morn- ing air over part of the flat valley beyond where the heat seems to col- lect, Thus in the aarly morning we descended into the San Joaquin Val- ley which presented an interesting sight. As far ahead of us as the eye could see even in clear atmosphere was a straight highway which just looked like a long straight black pencil line on a piece of drab yellow paper, the longest and straightest un- broken stretch of road in California. "In Ontario there is usually some undulation of country with moderate windings of roads but here we struck roads flat as a billiard table for hours at a stretch and straight as an arrow for sometimes almost 20 miles at a stretch. After the dizzy wind- ings, rolling and zig-zag grades and heigzhts of the Ridge Route, the complete and sudden change was like tumbling from the sublime to ridic- ulous--or may be vice-versa, "After several hours on these hot roads through country remarkable for its flatness and scarcity of trees we stopped for a rest while away in the distance towards the East as yet scarcely visible through the heat haze of the valley, serenely rested the mighty Sierra Nevadas. "Continuing at dusk we journeyed till one a.m. by which time we reach- ed the foothills and after a short rest started again at 4 am. for the foothill grades towards the moun- tains via the Coarse Gold Road and on these dirt roads for hours up grade we passed nothing but deso- late country scattered with grotesque rocks and for the most part without a sign of either vegetation or animal life, but later patches of trees be- gan to show up increasing gradually in size and volume as a higher ele- vation was reached. Passing through the gold mining area and places as- sociated with historical scenes of the "49 Gold Rush, we continued on heavier climbs now one way dirt trails on mountain sides thick with trees until Wawona and finally Wa- wona point was reached, about 7000 | feet elevation and which gave us our first bird's eye view of the Sierra Nevadas. . "While there are many points on these mountains of higher elevation above sea level such as the Tioga ass road, the main attraction of this part of the Sierras accessable by car is evidently the expanse and of the yista which it is possible . We stepped gingerly out of our car and after peering thous- ands of feet below and about forty miles of clear e and moun- tains around us, and after shudder- ing 2 few times, crept back to the car and made our way down towards the groves for a close imspection of the Giant trees. "Big trees to some people may be just Big Trees and no more, but to the thinking people, these Monarchs of the Fores, Oldest And largest of al arth's living things convey a lot and makes one reflect a bit. So Harge are these trees that we droye our car through a hole cut in the trunks of two of them which stood ont feet in height. Many are 400 feet high, while one tree there is estimated to contain half a mil- lion feet of lumber. When cut for lumber the wood is red and is said to last for centuries without rotting, while the age of many of these liv- ley, 'also_describing the giant tree | of the American Mappers starting | Tp, Describes Trip Through Sierra Nevadas, Yosemite Valley, and Giant Trees D. A. Cowan Sends Interest.] ing trees which vary from about twenty-five to forty feet in diameter, average between and 4000 years, while the best authorities available have asserted that some of them are between 6000 and 8000 years of "Just think of it, before the birth of Christ, before King Tutan- khamen was laid in his tomb in An- cient Egypt, and while the glory of Rome and other Empires have come and gone, these trees lived and still ive on, and while the dim ages of the past become almost lost in ob- scurity these same trees calmly sur- vive it all and yet serenely flourish. e giant Sequoia trees by the way are not of a dying or extinct race but still bear seed and at some places on the Sierras many healthy sap- lings and seedlings are in existance and seedlings are said to have been transplanted in other countries where under proper conditions they continue to thrive. At present most of these huge trees are under U.S. Govern- ment protection. Any that are pri- vately owned and cut down have to be dismembered by dynamite, ordin- ary lumbering methods being useless, and this destroys the tree so much that it is found to be scarcely a pay- ing proposition, yet sad as it may seem some of these majestic price- less legacies of the past neverthe- less meet with the attacks of the lumberman. "From the big tree forests made our way through the moun- tains by mostly one way dirt trails, a somewhat precarious and stren- wous drive for one not used to it, on steep grades to Chinquapin 6256 feet elevation and camped near a moun- tain rangers outpost overnight, be- ing inadvisable to attempt going over these trails after dusk. "Early morning we started on our last lap of mountain roads to Yase- mite encountering the steepest and probably the most strenuous drive of the lot, due to extra grades and hair- pin rock turns, where now and again on open spaces between trees and on turns, the corner of the eye would catch an open glimpse of nothing but blue atmosphere and abyss over the side of the car. At such points I felt it best to rivet all attention on the trail and wheel without moving an eyelash and without daring to sub- mit to the lure and attraction to look over while my wife would shudder and turn her head away in the oppo- site direction. I was always thank- ful" to get past these 'atmosphere points' and felt lucky too, that on the whole journey I only had three times to back the car on a trail into an alcove to let another past and was thankful I escaped having any of these operations to perform on any dizzy turns or grades where the scenery just seemed to be mostly blue sky. "Finally reaching Inspiration Point we beheld a full spectacular view of the Yosemite Valley in all its glory and there we watched it changing shades and lights with shafts of lights like huge searchlights from Heaven striking into the valley be- low, and viewing points thousands of feet below us and other points thousands of feet above us, In its entirity too vast and too much to grasp in one eyefull, but rather alike to a multitude of exquisite pictures all collected and framed into one huge one. Numberless pictures have heen painted of this vally of world famed beauty and magnitude from Inspiration Point and Artist's Point, hut never could any picture by the hand of man ever come up to the real one painted by the master hand of Nature, and which changes al- most every half hour between the grey dawn and the golden sunset. "Little wonder it 1s that in Camp Currie as well as in other camps and Lodges in the floor of the valley one will find all kinds of people, includ- ing prominent and notable men from not only all parts of America, but all parts of the world, who have trav- elled thousands of miles to see for themselves these wonder sights of Nature. "Proceeding down steep grades some thousands of feet into the base of the valley we got on to better roads more like modern highways. The floor of the valley, 4000 feet ele- vation is covered mainly with pines and cedars, the river Merced, almost hidden among the trees, running through the valley which is approxi- we wide valley. The rock facing over Comp Cufrie which has a sheer depth of feet has a camp fire built on the edge of the rock every night and whi while craning the neck to see it from the can hardly be distinguished from a large star in the Heavens at first sight. The burning and dying embers of this fire are pushed over the rock late every night which gives it the ap- pearance of a fire fall, the embers being caught on projecting rocks some 1400 feet below without any danger of coming on to the camp. "So similarly does the height of the waterfalls impress ome. Yosemite Falls about the center of the Valley about 35 feet wide at the top throws a volume of water from a height of 2600 feet above the floor of the Val- ley, over fifteen times higher than Niagara Falls. The Bridal Falls which are comparatively low drop over 600 feet, while Glacier point, which one can either look up at or down from, is over four times as high as the Woolworth Building, New York. Such are some of the dizzy heights encountered in Yose- mite the formations of which are said to he the results of glacial ac- tion over years ago. "In the valley on our return trip, we came across both deer and bear at large and found one large dead rattle snake on the road. On return we kept to the better roads although these also were giute mountainous in parts as far as Mariposa, although not so steep. For one who wished only to drive as far as the floor of the Valley where the camps prin- cipally are located without driving on any steep one way trails or higher heights it is quite possible to do this on modern highways via Merced and El Portal, although from both North Ad South it is a longer distance and of course due to the 4000 feet eleva- tion to the base of the Valley many long grades on all roads have never- theless to be encountered, but either way is many times well worth the effort."

BRITISH STEAMER T0 EMBARK BODIES Merchant Vessel Will Trans. fer Them to Warship at Sea London, Aug. 27--The British Ad- miralty announced that negotiations are proceeding with the Soviet Gov- ernment for a British merchant ves- sel to go to Kronstadt to embark the remains of the officers and men of the submarine L-55, sunk in the Baltic in 1919 and recently raised by the Russian government. The bodies will be transferred to a British warship before their arrival in England where full military hon- ors will be paid them. (Dispatches from Moscow recently stated that the Soviet Government had declined to permit a British war- ship to enter Russian territorial waters inasmuch as diplomatic rela- tions between the two countries were broken off last year. The govern- ment however, notified Great Britain through the Norwegian mission in Moscow, which conducted the ex- changes, that the warship of a friendly nation or a British mer- chantman would be welcomed to take off the bodies.)
