yes re for ew til led 1er PAGE IEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1929 EXPECT RAILWAYS WILL AGREE ON BRANCH DISPUTE Conflicting Claims For En- tering New Territory Will . Be Well Aired BIG OTTAWA ISSUE Parliament Must Give Its Consent For Building of Branch Lines Ottawa, Ont, Jan, 24,--One of the surest indications of confidence In the future development of Can- ada's northern lands is vo pe seen fn the controversy now heing wags ed between the Canadian Pacifie Railway and the Canadian Nation. al Railway over their branch line programs, The program an- nounced by the C,P.R, provides for northern extensions in the Prairie Provinces and it is under- stood the Canadian National pro- gram will also provide for branch lines pushing north in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, = The controversy has developed out of rivalry of the two companies to get into districts where Parlia- ment will only allow one line to be built, ' No branch line can be built with- out the consent of the Dominion Parliament and accordingly the' railway committee of the House of Commons will, during the coming session, decide on each branch line proposal submitted," Many obsery- ers think that this battle between the two giant railway systems for the right to grow will overshadow practically every other issue with which Parliament will have to deal this winter, One thing all concerned are pro- testing is that they do not want, and certainly the country as a whole does not want, ruinous com: petition hetween the public and privately owned systems in the matter of extensions, Railway ex- perts have frequently blamed ov- erbuilding as the cause of the rail- way difficulties through which Canada passed some years back and it is expected Parliament will see to it that no wasteful competi- tion 'is permitted in this instance, The different status of the Canas- dian Pacific in coming to Parlia- ment to that of the Canadian Na- TIME TABLES C.P,R.

The charters are for 6 years, On the other hand the Canadian National asks Parlia- ment to vote money with which to construct its new lines, which will be completed within three years, The officials of the Canadian Na- tional claim that this places them at a disadvantage in the matter of reserving districts in which to ex- pand, When they ask for a vote they have to show the railway committee that there is good pros- pect of sufficient traffic to make the branch self-supporting or at least mot a financial drag on the rest of the system, C.P,R,, how. ever, in asking for charters does not have to guarantee to the same extent that the line will be a finan- cial success or that it will be built within three years or even five since of course it is the company, not the national treasury, that is providing the money. The Canadian National Railway will no doubt seek to have some system worked out by which it will be in the same position to pre- empt spheres in which it intends to build at some considerable time in the future but not withn three years, in somewhat the same way as the C.P.R, does by taking out charters, , While the controversy between the two railways will doubtless extend before the railway commit tee which will be organized early in February, those in close touch with the situation expect that a compromise will eventually be reached which will give all the railway extensions the country re- quires and at the same time avoid overlapping The example of the Edmonton, Dunvegan and British Columbia Railway, taken over by the C,P.R, from provincial owner- ship and in the operation of which the Canadian National is now par- ticipating, indicates the underlying readiness of the two systems to co- operate, Some such amicable set- tlement of the branch lines situa- tion is generally expected. SUDBURY CITIZENS PROTEST AGAINST COMMUNIST PAPER Meeting Urges That Finnish Paper Be Banned from the Mails Sudbury, Jan. 23.--If the people present and members of fifteen or- ganizations in Sudbury and imme- diately adjacent towns are repre- sentative of the feeling and resolu- tion of the people of Sudbury ana distriet, then there is a general feeling abroad that communism as voiced by the Finnish paper Va- paus ought to be suppressed im- mediately. The 27 persons present were members of 15 important organiza- tions, and some of them were offi- cially appointed to act. Action Deferred The feeling was evident that al- together apart from any case which may he before the court, the an- thorities are justified in immedi- ate action in refusing the mails to such publications, but action was deferred in order to secure the voice of all the organizations inter- ested. This resolution is to be con- sidered, authorized delegates to be appointed with power to act and another meeting is to be held the last Tuesday in February to re- ceive reports and to secure Govern- mental action accordingly.

Buoys Are Large It is pointed out by J. G. Mae- Phail, of the Department of Mar- ine, who is in charge of the light- house service, that, when viewed from a steamer, these beacons o! commerce may seem small and tri- vial. A buoy, however, weighs from five to eight tons, the lantern is equipped with a polished out- glass lens and flashing apparatus, the whole costing about $3,000. Gas buays employed on the open sea- coast vary in size up to nineteen tons, 'with a total length of over 60 feet. Cape Race, one of the best known stations in the world, has a flashlight of 1,100,000 candle pow- er, which has heen seen a distance of 76 miles, and the apparatus and enclosing lantern required to pro- duce that result weighs 42 tons and cost $40,000, The tower support- ing it cost $10,000, The fog sig- nal has been heard 45 miles and to achieve that result 500 tons ot coal a year are needed to develop the necessary power, while four lightkeepers maintain continuous watch, While the service on the Atl ¥® tie and Pacific coasts is continunne the year around, the interior ser- vice extending from the Gulf of St, Lawrence to the head of Lake Superior, is discontinued in Decem- ber and resumed in April and tin operations attending this closing and opening of navigation place a heavy strain on the lighthouse service, for in the interior regio 2,819 floating aids to navigation must he removed, Including eight ightships, 811 gas and sienal buoys and 2,500 unlighted buoys. Face Rough Weather All aids to navigation are kept in operation until they are actually threatened by ice, and after the closing of commercial navigation the steamers and men of the light- house service must do the best they can to recover these floating alds and place them in winter quar- ters to be ready for the opening in spring. Thus, the steamers and men of the service are compelled to do this work under extreme wea- ther conditions, No record of the work of Can- ada's lighthouse service would be complete without mention of what was once called the "Graveyard of the Atlantic," but which, owing to the efficiency of the work done by the Canadian authorities, has he- come a comparatively safe area for navigators. Sable Island, crescent-shaped, is about 18 miles in length and situ- ated in the Atlantic about 200 miles in an easterly direction from Halifax. It consists wholly of sarA in places 100 feet high, and mos *® covered with a rank growth of vegetation, Sand bars extend for several miles from each end of the fsland. In addition to two first class lighthouses, one at each end of the island, many watch towe== and life-saving stations are mai ¥ tained at strategic points. In clear weather the whole coastline of the Island {is under observation from the lighthouses and watch towers. When fog or thick weather devel- aps, mounted men patrol every mile of the island's coast, and all stations are connected by telephone, WOMEN TEACHERS' SALARIES RAISED WINDSOR SCHOOLS Windsor, Jan, 24.--Salaries of the women teachers of public gchools have heen increased hy un- animous vote of the Board of Edu- cation, Do You Ow Your Own HALLITT Real Estate Insurance ard Phone 3254 King St. East, Oshawa gE Saas The minimum ror both first and second-class teachers remains at $1,100, The maximum for teachers holding first class certificates was placed at $2,000, an .increase of! $200.
