It is a well known fact that even under the Volstead Act liqu01 is being used for sacramental and medicinal purposes in the ‘ United States. The government of \the United States through its dispensâ€" !aries has been receiving tens of milâ€" lions of dollars in the sale of liquor. lTherefore, I am convinced, as one of |the leading temperance men in Norâ€" thern Ontario, that the government in this instance is following the proper course. It must also be considered 'that the exportation of spirituous liquors from Canada to the United States represents only two per cent. of the total consumption, so they must get it much more extensively from other I sources." | "Mr. Speaker, before I speak on the budget and its amendment I would like to make a few remarks with reâ€" ‘ference to a question which has come ~to the forefront in the province of 'of Ontario, more particularly since the ‘beginning of this session. I refer to the activities of the Ontario Prohibiâ€" tion Union. In the past few weeks circular letters have been received from organizations working to assist the United States in preventing Canâ€" ation liquor from entering that counâ€" try. I have always been an advocate of temperance â€"and I am always preâ€" pared to sponsor and further true temâ€" perance. At the same time I cannot see why we Canadians should be called ! upon to enforce United States law. I have read many comments in both ‘wet and dry papers in the United \States, and they are firmly convinced | that the Canadian government is folâ€" ‘lowing the proper course in that reâ€" ‘spect. It is a well known fact that %t-he officers of the United States Govâ€" ernment have a right to enter any ‘ship on this side of the line and exâ€" amine the papers before ship is released, and it is also a well known fact that they have access to all boats . whether Canadian or American, on the other side of the line. It is also | well known fact that unlimited ‘quantities of intoxicating liquor are ‘finding their way into the United !States from Cuba, which is a protecâ€" torate of that country. Cuba is ‘yearly shipping enormous quantities of intoxicating liquor, and apparentâ€" ‘ly no checks are being used against such a practice. But I consider that the demands made to the Canadian government by the United States were absolutely unwarranted; they should "In a water litigation case at Pueblo, Colorado, recently, it became necessary for the city attorneys to refer to the old fyles of The Pueblo Chieftain. Permission was obtained from Editor George Sweeney to refer to these old fyles, but with the stipulation that such privilege would cost the city $1,000. The stipulation was not made with any other idea in mind than to established a value to the old fyles of the paper. The city deemed it of sufâ€" ficient importance that the $1,000 was paid. A few years ago a similar case occurred at Aspen. In a mining case, the old fyles of The Aspen Times were subpoenaed but before the fyles were shown editor Chas. Daily demanded that the litigants pay him $600 for the privilege of examining the fyles in court, and the judge of the court upâ€" held him. The $600 was paid before the fyles were opened. These cases should prove conclusively that newsâ€" paper fyles are about the most valuâ€" abie record which can be found and that they should be safely guarded." Does Not Think Canada Should Enforce U. 8: Law In opening his address in the House of Commons last week Mr. Jos. Braâ€" dette, M. P. for this riding. said, as re ported by Hansard:â€" The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "A fine wolf pelt is on display in the office of Macdonald Smith this week. The animal was killed on the Montreal River some weeks ago by a prominent mining engineer, after it had been run down by dogs. The pelt measures six feet from tip to tip and the fur is in fine condition. It will be tanned and made into a rug to adorn the home of the hunter, who asks that his name be not mentioned. The wolf was secured in Lorrain, a section that has figured in the capture of several of the animals during recent years. No claim has been made by the â€" owner of the pelt for the #zovernment bounty of $15 as he eviâ€" dently prefers to keep the skin whole for the making of the rug." occasion. While no newspaper will alâ€" low the office fyles to leave the preâ€" mises on any condition, they are conâ€" stantly being consulted by town offiâ€" cilals, the legal fraternity and others who find them invaluable for supplying certain information and data required. More than one friend consulting the office fyles for byâ€"gone years has made reference to the value such records possess, and often the question is askâ€" ed, "What value do you place on the back fyles?" This is a question that a newspaper usually finds difficult to answer. The Haileyburian, for‘ inâ€" stance, having lost the complete fyles for many years, at the time of the big fire in 1922, will place a very high estiâ€" mate of value on the fyles gathered since through the kindness of friends in all parts of the country. The Renâ€" frew Mercury in a recent issue tells of a Colorado newspaper that put a cash value on an inspection of its fyles.

PROGRESS OF GEODETG SURVEYS IN DOMINION Review of Work by Dominion Departâ€" ment Indicates How This Service | Aids Industrial Development ‘This year, it is the policy of each Durant dealer to place a car at the disposal of every prospect in order that he cmay judge the car for himself and make his own comparisons. This courâ€" tesy is being extended without any obâ€" ligation whatsoever and simply as a means of making the public more famiâ€" liar with the quality features of Duâ€" rant cars. A review of the work of the Geodetic Survey, Department of the Interior, *~>z the past, few seasons indicates how this branch of the Federal Government aids industrial development by supplyâ€", ing accurate information as to latiâ€" tudes, longitudes and elevations above sea level of selected points in all parts of the Dominion. With regard solely to the accurate fixing of position which constitutes the major portion of geoâ€" detic survey work, the geodesist selects suitable point and ascertains where they are on the earth‘s surface and their relation to and distance from one another. This geodetic method of acâ€" curately ascertaining position is called triangulation. What lies between selected pointsâ€"river, lakes, arable lands, mineral lands, roadsteads, harâ€" boursand the restâ€"must be plotted in by the topographical, geological, or hydrographic surveyor. Durant cars, in the new series, do not boast of any radical changes but adhere strictly to the principles of quality which have always distinguished Duâ€" rant products. True, thoughtful changes have been made. Refinements to the Red Seal Continental "L"â€"head motor add to their power, pickâ€"up and speed and in addition make possible an even flow or tremendous power. The new flushâ€"type steering is provâ€" ing exceedingly popular and in this connection it may be said that the new Durarnt cars may be controlled with even greater ease than previous models. This is due to refinements in the steering gear which provide for the full use of the complete steering radius. Quality Distinguishes the 1929 Durant Cars The focus of operations in the Prairle Provinces is Edmonton from which staâ€" tion ~a@ line runs eastward through Prince Allbert and around the north end of lake Winnipeg to eventually link up With the Red Lakeâ€"Lac Suel region of Ontario. Branches are also being run to connect with Brandon and the International Boundary on the south and Flin Flon and Fort Churchill to the north and northeast. Edmonton is connected on the south, through Calgary and Medicine Hat with the n:t along the International Boundary. Westward from Edmonton a network of triangulation will link up through Yellowhead pass with the.extensive British Columbia Coast system by means of lines southwest to Vancouver and northwest to Prince Rupert. While this operation was in proâ€" gress Canada‘s industrial development was rapidly proceeding and railway mining, and waterâ€"power enterprises were entering new areas. This inâ€" creased the demand for important data as to latitudes, longitudes, and ailtiâ€" tudes which it is the function of the Geodetic survey of Canada to furnish. In laying out the programme of work these developments were fully conâ€" sidered and surveying was done in difâ€" ferent parts of Canada to meet the most urgent demands. A bird‘sâ€"eyce view of the operations of the past few seasons and those immediately in hand is instructive as showing that many names which occur in the Geodetic survey programme are those to which the eyves of the country are directed by reason of developments now proceedâ€" ing. One of the first duties of the Geodeâ€" tic Survey was the running of a netâ€" work of points across Canada in the proximity of the International Bounâ€" dary. In this it coâ€"operated with the United States Coast and Geodetic Surâ€" vey, and now a net extends along the border from the Atlantic to the Pacific and up the British Columbia coast to the southern bounâ€" dary of Alaska. Much work has been done in the Maritime Provinces .In the past few seasons this has been chiefly in southâ€" western Nova Scotia and northern New Brunswick; from the latterâ€"area the net enters Qfiecbec by way of the Mataâ€" pedia valley. The St. Lawrence valley has been dotted with triangulation staâ€" tins from the strait of Belle Isle to Montreal. A triangulation net has been run along the transcontinental line of the Canadian National Railways from the St. Lawrence to the western boundary of Quebec, embracing the whole of the Rouyn district and conâ€" necting with the net running up the Gatineau valley from the Ottawa. From the Quebecâ€"Ontario boundary the names that occur in the westwardâ€" extending net are Kirkland Lake, Abiâ€" tibi, Kamiskotia, Sudbury and Nakina. The last named is on the transcontinâ€" ental line of the Canadian Nation«‘ Railways about 260 miles west of Cochâ€" rane. This bring the work into the broken country about lake Nipigon wherein occur such familiar names as Lac Seul and Red Lake. Work of the Ontario Department of Forestry in distributing free of charge trees to residents of the provnce fo: planting and windbreak purposes is receiving editorial support from many of the Ontario papers. According to the department 14,000,000 trees ahe available for free distribution this year. Last year nearly 5,000 person accepted trees from the government. According to statistics of the departâ€" ment some 431,793 trees were planted in York county last year. Free allotment of trees numbers 4,000 but additional quantities are supplied at $4 per thouâ€" sand. Each resident o1 tne province can get 4,000 trees each year by paying the exâ€" press from the nearest forestry station whech are situated in Norfolk, Simcos, Durham, Prince Edward and Grenmville Counties. If the trees are called for there is no expense attached. Fourteen Million Trees Available for This Year You can buy Huribut This Crest erppear; on the bottom of every HURLBUT Shoe.
