THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1929 Clue to Mystery of 1576 Discovered by Explorer 'On Lonely Arctic Island Sydney, N.S., Sept. 18.--A clue to an unsolved mystery' of nearly 400 years' standing--the fate of tive men left on Kadlunarn Island by Sir Martin Frobisher in 1576-- was reported by Donald B. McMil-| d fan on his return from over two ithe' exploration voyage to Baf- Bn Land. On an island in Countess War-) wick Sound, the famous explorer] discovered an ancient stone house which the Eskimos said was the work of white men. ~ Inside were the bones of a bear and other evi dence that it had been used as a] shelter. The age of the moss and' other particulars pointed to the dwelling being contemporary with' Frobisher, Kadlunarn was also visited and] there the party found in very fair state of preservation the house' built by Frobisher in Queen Eliza- beth's day. Digging in the earth' floor, they discovered some pottery | and other relics belonging to that] down which the intrepid explorer's men launched the boats they built after their ships were crushed in | the ice. It was hitherto supposed that the five men left behind by Frobisher on one of his three voyages to build a fort to protect the supposed gold mines had been killed by Eskimos. Careful inquiry among the natives reveals a tradition that the white men were not slain, but built a big boat and set out on their perilous return to England. The relics now found by McMil- lan indicate that they had proceed- ed only about 50 miles when their frail craft was crushed in by ice- bergs and one or more escaped ashore and built the shelter in Countess Warwick Sound. BRITISH RAILWAYS FIGHT FOR LIFE Auto Buses and Trucks Continue to Attract New Business London, Sept. 14--Has satura- tion point been reached in connec- tion with motor vehicles on the roads in ®reat Britain, and can thé railways hope to coax back some of the pasenger traffic that has been lost to them for the last few yéars? At the beginning of this yaar there were over 2,000,000 motor vehicle licenses in force, and these numbers are augmented by an additional 100,000 every quarter, and it is significant to re- call that many people who would normally have gone by car to As- cot this year preferred to go by train instead, finding the roads too crowded. Statistics recently fused in con- nection with last year's railway re- ceipts, however, show that whereas 22,000,000 more passengers were carried than in 1927, the receipts from this traffic showed a reduc- tion of £1,200,000, and though the companies saved by economies £6,- 500,000, the Ministry of Trans- port's statement discloses that net profits compared with 1927 show- éd a reduction of £1,900,000. Enormous Loss The £1,200,000 loss on passenger traftic is, however, not seriously perturbing the authorities, as they are making desperate efforts to wean traffic back from the roads by cheap fare facilities and other provisions for speed and comfort. In an endeavour to reclaim some of their lost patronage the rail- way companies are quite legiti- mately refusing loading facilities at their docks for the road trans- port of fish and other sea-borne freight, and when we remember that the railways built. maintain, and provide special fast trains from these loading docks, their at- titude is entirely justified. The railways are also seeking powers from parliament to enter direct competition with road transport by running motor ser- vices between important points not directly connected by rail, and are also buying up shares in transport companies, What the Critics Say As yet, however, parliamentary sanction for the many schemes out- lined has not been forthcoming, for the critics argue that if they cannot efficiently manage (so as to show profits) what they already have, they should not be allowed to tamper with other highly or- ganized and profitable undertak- ings. It would appear to some that the railways are, therefore, fight ing a losing battle. The Railway Rates Tribunal, for instance, in its judgment on the first review on standard charges and exceptional charges, states that the deficiencies totalling more than £9,000,000 in net revenue as compared with the standard revenue "were not due to lack of efficiency or economy in the management," and the Tribun- al has no suggestions to offer to avoid these losses in the future. On the other hand, the railways are. very heavily handicapped in their fight against all other forms of transport. Existing Mileage Their track only totals 20,000 miles while the trackage of roads totals over 180,000, and while the railway is tied to this track, the motor vehicle can travel straight from door to door. The motor transport is provided with free signalmen in the form of A.A, officers and policemen, but the railways have to maintain period, also traces of the shipways'| complicated signalling layout and men to operate them. In addition, the railway track had to be bought by the railway shareholders at a cost of some £1,- 000,000,000 and over £23,000,000 per year has to be found by the railway companies for the upkeep of this track. But the motor trans. port 'is provided with a track by the ratepayers and taxpayers---the | was Road Fund accumulated from mo- or vehicle taxation forms an in- nitesimal portion of the cost of the roads, All things considered, them, it |Poor appears that the railways are not only putting up a good fight for supremacy against terrific odds, |° but might well be expected to win Yatough triumphant in the long MEXICO TO ALASKA HIGHWAY PLANNED Great Scheme for Interna- tional Roadway Discuss: ed at Ottawa Ottawa.--A grand plan for an in- ternational highway extending from the border of Mexico through Britisi: Columbia to the Yukon and, Alaska was discussed at an interview here yesterday between Premier Tolmie of British Columbia and Hon. Charles Stewart, Minister of the Interior. The Provincial Government is fav- orable to the plan, but it is of great magnitude and Federal aid will be necessary. It is understood that Mr, Stewart was prepared to have the Dominion build the Yukon part of it but did not commit himself on the other. There are some 460 miles of new road required in British Colum- bia and about: 125 miles in the Yu- kon required to carry out the schéme. The lure of American tourists to the land of the midnight sun in Canada, just as Sweden and Norway in like latitudes are the great attraction of Europe, is the particular object of the plan. Up Entire Coast Premier Tolmie explained that the highway would run from Tia Juana Mexico, up the whole Pacific Coast to the International boundary of British Columbia connecting there with the roadway to Hazelton, B. C., and afterwards going on to connéct with the Yukon and Alaskan system, "It would give United States people," he said " an opportunity of visiting Alaska by road through the richest scenery in the world. It would give Canadians access to the Yukon with- out going through the United States. It is a very large enterprise and our satisfactory talk today was neécessar- ily of a general or preliminary char- acter but our Pacific Coast people are deeply interested in this plan and we are very hopeful of it ultimately going through." The British Columbia premier came |° to Ottawa to discuss this matter ra- ther than to talk further about the return of lands in the railway belt. The principle of that, he said, was settled months ago and He under- Sood that the officials had settled the etails, Dr. Tolmic stated that in Toronto he had met the Right Hon. J. H.

Trelle Still Winning Herman Trelle, of Wembley, in the Peace River district, Alberta, who twice won the world's champ- fonship for oats and once for be| wheat, has not by any means been resting on his laurels since his first sensational win in 1926 when he took the world's prize in both wheat and oats. He has continued his winnings at most of the ex- hibitions in Canada and has pro- bably won more prizes for wheat and oats than any other Canadian. Recently he won four open grain championships at the exhibition at Regina, where grain exhibits are a big feature, He also swept the boards at the exhibitions in Al- berta,. Mr, Trelle is a native of the state of Idaho, and came to Alberta as a young lad with his parents, N. B. Breeder's Success Success and fame has come rap- idly to one of New Brunswick's purebred cattle breeders, Mr, M, L, McCarthy. Mr, McCarthy is a native of Sussex, New Brunswick, but years ago went to Boston, Mass., where he has now an established business. Six years ago, however, he came to New Brunswick and took up his old home farm, and has been engaged in building up a purebred Holstein herd ever since. More recently he has | m'n appear- ing in the prize ring With con- siderable success, and thi' year his hegl captured three out of four championships at the Brandon ex- hibition, and five championships at the Edmonton exhibition. This year he was the purchaser of the champion Holstein bull, Abbekirk Sylvius Lad, from the Innis herd at Woodstock, Ont., for which he paid $3,600.
