Others who addressed the banquet were Mayor E. W. O. Langdon of the Assozciated Boards of Trade, and Smith Ballantyne of Kapuskasing. Expects Lignite Mr. Nixon outlined the entire develâ€" opment of the lignite field from the time of its disscovery 30 years ago to the present tests being conducted. T. N. 0. Commissioner Hopeful Concerning Fuâ€" ture. The spzeaker told of how thirty years ago a Roman Catholic priest, Father Boutet, while taking the census of the North found lignit» om the Onakawana river. His party picked up samples and us>d same as fuel to do their cook. ing. Geologists claim that there will be no furth>r change in the existing condition Of the lignite as without pressure it will retain its present state for years. The beds are located 126 miles north of Cochrans on the Onakawana River and lie on the east and west side ‘of the T. N. O. railway. The eastern field is known as "A" field whilé the western field as "E" Field. | Drilling has been carried out at difâ€" ferent areas in the fields for the past 10 or 12 yrars It is estimated that thers is available through exploration 100,000,000, tons of lignite, and that in its present raw state is contains from 47 to 50 per cent moisture contont in ccmpariim to that of Saskatchewan which has a moisture conten,; of 38 per â€"ent and in Montana 25 per cent. Good results have been obtained in thoeWest especially in Montana, which is the most lignite consgsious part of the ccntin>nt. and where extensive wotk has been done to bring lignite into commercial use. Mr. Nixon cited how the former zgovernmnt some 10 or 12 years ago shipped a quantity of lignite to Europe for ;esting. Tests at that time proved discouraging and the plan was abanâ€" donnd as it was found that European lignite contained a binder which made it p:rmissable to manufacture lignite into briquettes which had a high com. mercial value. But with the many advances made scientifically during the the past few years and especially the succesful cxperimentation in the United States with lignite it has now been dcfinitely proven that by steam or oil processing and by reducing the i-moww:‘e content there is a chance of obtaining a high B. T. U. content Sixl.y years of faithful and valuâ€" ablo service to Canada form tho background for the sixtieth anniversay of the Canadian Paciâ€" fic Railway Company in midâ€" JTebruary. On February 15, 1881, the Govâ€" ernment of Sir John A. Macdonald granted a charter for the building ln a private company of a railway to the Pacific Coast. Two days later, the Canadian Pacific Railâ€" way Company was organized on an official basis and a glorious new era of Canada‘s history had begun. Tho Canada of 1881 was an inâ€" fant country, its sparsely settled portions separated from â€" each other by denso wilderness. *Conâ€" federation itself was in danger beâ€" cause of lack of communication between provinces. Railway conâ€" nection with British Columbia had been promised but in ten years tho work accomplished had bcen negligible. Tho story of the building of the transcontinental line can be sumâ€" med up in the statement that it was completed in half the time called for in the charter, with a pilifully small subsidy considerâ€" ing what had been granted in other places, and in face of the Sixty Years of Progress Referring ‘to the type «of equipment to be used the spedker stated that a. lower grate is required and:that certain furnaces here in town have ‘been found«' *to ‘be ada,pted to, the r°qujrements ‘With a long grate there is very little‘ ‘ash and no clinkersâ€"from the lignite: ;The fact that the Northern Pacific |railway uses lignite exclusively proves ‘it is economical to reduce the moisture‘ to 33 or 35 per cent and there. ‘by raises the B. T. U. content from |5300 to 7000 wunits When the ‘mark is reached the lignite is then !economical to use commercially.. The speaker stated that Cochrane sould be using the lignriite now. ‘The process ‘of steam «drying which has been in use at the Onakawana, a new process in the lignite . industry which Mr. Nixon states was developed by Mr.Crozier leading Ontario lignite expert impressed Dr. Sutherland greatâ€" ly. Dr. Sutherland: is considered ‘one of the finest scientists on the continent The procedure adopted by Mr.â€"Crozier was to take â€"the best grade of lignite â€"â€"bex med the woody typâ€"-place it in an ordinary cylinder and by generating sream with a poorer grade of lignite i»-termed the earthy typeâ€"â€"a considâ€" erable reduction is made in moisture content of the lignite by applying 800 to 400 pounds of steam pressure. . In recent tests conducted in Ottawa the moisture content was reduced 7.2 per cent. The oil tests also conducted there under 250 pounds pressure have 'also proven quite favorable and both these itests are very inexpensive.‘ The drying process is most important as it raises the BTU ‘of the lignite to place it in a ‘category ‘of comtmercial value. maintained during that period. e also cited the excellent results in the McGill block here, which is equipped with a furnace suitable for burning ‘Henite and where it was definitely from lignite. The question of Briquettes has not been totally dispensed with however, and at present the govern« ment are conducting negotiations with a Chicago firm claiming to:â€" have a plan ‘of manufacturing the northern lignite into briquettes. Of "Prime Importance" Outlining ‘the question of costs Mr. Nixon stated tha; the inter;st in the northern fields was of prime imporâ€" tance now as in 1940 the Dominion imported â€" 500,000 ‘tons of American coal which represionts a large amount in American funds. H» also cited ‘the fact that Nova Scotia and Albetta fuels were subsidized by the Dominion governmen}; and this affects the local market, therefore the government have explored every possible channel to make absolutely certain before <marâ€" k;ting the lignite it will be economical andi will stand all tests. Mr. Nixon quoted figures that is costs 3465 per ton F. O. B. at Onakawana Freight would be $1.09 per ton and by using 1‘% tons of lignite which would cost approximately $650 at Cochran* the consumer would receive the same hea; volume as that obtained from one ton of coal. Giving a general outline of the testf hea; volume as that obtained from one ton of coal. Giving a general outline of the tests that have been conducted, he cited those conducted in the T.; â€"N.. 0. bunkhouse here, where raw lignite yas Â¥a w# 08 placed in the furnace of the building to which had been placed a blower and grate. A fire for seven hours Wwas most bitter of political opposition. ‘Time and again the whole project, including every cent of the buildâ€" ers‘: personal® fortunes, seemed lost. The growth of the Canadian Pacific Railway and of Canada representsâ€"sixty years of mutual coâ€"operation, each aiding in and benefiting â€" from tho _ other‘s strength and prosperity. In 1881, Canada was a country with 4,324,810 population, possesâ€" singz total export trade of $83,9044,â€" 701 and import trade of $90,488,â€" 329. Its field crops were worth $155,277427, its dairying $22,743,â€" $39, and its manufactures $ 100 676,068. â€" In. tho Jlast year of reâ€" cord, Canada‘s estimated ‘populaâ€" tion was 11,315,000, exports totalâ€" led $1,178,954,000. and imports $1,â€" 081,050,000. Pield crops were worth $651,228,000, dairying $217,â€" 716,020 and manufactures $3,337,â€" Tho Canadian Pacific Railway‘s growth in the same period has been equally amazing. There was practically nothing in 1881. Now the company has 17,169 miles of rail lines in Canada, 55 ocean, coastal and lake steamships, hotels with a total of 5,294 rooms as well as summer lodges, 1,767 lqcomoâ€" tives and 82,714 pieces of rolling stock. ~Its property and equipâ€" ment: represent an investment of more than onoeâ€" hbillion â€" dollars. Other facts of intorest concernâ€" ing the world‘s greatest transporâ€" tation system are that it operated 270,000 circuit miles of telegraph line last year and carries 120,000 passengers across the Atlantic in a normal year. In 1940 the Canaâ€" dian Pacific rail services carried nearly cight million passengers a total of more than 924 â€" million passenger miles, in adldition to transporting _ approximately SÂ¥ total of more than 924 â€" million passenger ‘miles, in idldition to transporting _ approximately 37 million tons of freight representâ€" ing more than si.\'tcon hilliun ton miles. During last year the comâ€" pany pmd out in ti 1)\0«, more than nino million dollars and, since inâ€" corporation, a total of approximâ€" atew â€" 172 million â€" dollars. ‘The earnings in 1940 totalled $140 964,000, every dollar of which proqontod a unit of service to the Dominion and the Empire.
