LAWRENCE DEVELOPMENT T0 BENEFIT OSHAWA (Continued fro from Page the question. It was not a new pro- position, but was really the rounding out of undertakings that had been proceeding for many years. It was the developmént to completion of many works undertaken in the past. The Sault rapids had, by common consent, been developed by the Un- ited States, the Welland Canal by Canada, the St, Clair and Detroit rivers by the United States, the up- per portion of the St. Lawrence in ternationally, and the river below Montreal, by Canada. The Sault channel was 20 feet decp, the St. Clair 20 teet, the new Welland canal, which would be opened in July of this year, 25 fect, and the St. Law- rence below Montreal 30 fect. "But the upper St. Lawrence chan- nel is only 14 feet deep and the nav- igable waters are thus like an hour glass -- wide at each end, but pinch- ed at the centre by the St. Law- rence shallow "channels," said the speaker, Reduce Grain Shipping Costs The shipping of gramr from, the head of the lakes to Port Colborne costs about 3%; cents per bushel. But the cost of transhipping z and the ex- tra cost of or.rating much smaller ships to carry the.cargo, made the cost 614 cents jer bushel to carry it from Port Colborne to Montreal. 1f the St. Lawrence development were carried out, grain could be carried by the same ship from Port Arthur to Montreal, at a cost of about 5c per bushelThus the saving of 5 cents per bushel on a crop of even 200 million bushels would amount to $10,000,000 per year. The United States wanted the St. Lawrence developed, and had agreed to most of Canada's terms on the project. The one weakness from the Canadian standpoint, was that its immediate effects would be of con- siderably greater advantage to the United States than they would be to Canada. The mid-western farmers in the United States were clamoring tor re- lief. The cost of shipping grain was greater from Buffalo to New York than it was from New York to Liv- erpool. Prices of grain were fixed at Liverpool, and freight rates and oth- er charges deducted, the farmer get- ting what was left. Therefor his only relief was in a reduction of the ship- ping charges, and he saw in th. de- velopment of the St. Lawrence, whereby ocean going vessels could load their cargoes right at Chicago, the only real opportunity for relief. Eighteen states of the union would derive immediate benefit, it had been estimated. - Power Development From the Canadian standpoint, however, the development of the St. Lawrence was not feasible unless the electrical . power development ~ was proceeded with along with the deep- ening of the channel for navigation. The development would make avail- able four million horsepower as Can- ada's share, Ontario was no devel- oping 19000000 horsepower, and Quebec 2,000,000 horsepower, so that this would give a new development equal to the entire power being con- sumed in Ontario and Quebec today. This made a difficulty of having available twice the amount of elec- tric power now being used, and all in one block. The limit of econoniic transportation of power at the pre- sent time was 300.miles, so that all of this tremendous power resource would have to find an outlet in the area between Hamilton ahd Quebec city, Therefor, Canada has laid 3) | Queenston "fits, GOODYEAR COMPANY PRODUCES NEW AEROPLANE TIRE SENSATIONAL The illustrations above show NEW TIRE ADDS TO FLYING air space inside the tire, and the one of the newest develoy 8 in aeronautics. It is the Goodyear Air- wheel development by the Good- year Tire and Rubber Company. As can be seen from the illus- tration at the upper right, this new airplane tire is practically the en- tire wheel of the plane. All that is left of the wheel is .the. hub which fits through the centre of the tire, An idea of the change in dimen- sions of the tire can be gained through comparing the one old style tire shown in the group above. The great feature of the new air- wheel is the immense amount of corresy ly large area whieh comes in contact with the ground, These tires carry pressures of only three to twenty pounds. Yet the) contain so much air that it is pos- sible for a plane to ride on them for as long as eight seconds, even after the tire has been badly rip ped, Two of the illustrations show -one of these tires with and eight- inch cut entirely through it, Yet the plane was landed quite safely under these conditions. It is this safety in landing and taking off which the airwheel ¢on- tributes to flying. With these tires, it is possible to land a plane on SAFETY | soft ground or even snow some | depth, It is possible to take off from ploughed land, deep sand or snow, A great many tests-have been made of these tires which have in. cluded Joueuklng the plane from some héight without damage to the under carriage. One of the greatest contribu. tions of the airwheel will be the increased safety of learning to fly. As any flier knows, the majority of accidents in' learning to fly come from bad landings, and this new tire makes a bad landing almost impossible. down as a condition that the work be developed only at such a rate that the power could be absorbed by Can- ada. Ir the work were completed as quickly as possible, it would take ten years to do it, Mr. Conant warned against being too pessimistic in - connection with the problem of the absorption of such a large amount of electric pow- r. He recalled that when the development was pro- posed, Canadians held up their hands in horror, Up to that time, only 400,000 horsepower was being used in Ontario, while this development would provide for 500,000 horsepow- er, But each block of 50,000 horsc- power from this development w demand faster than it could be veloped. No Exportation of Power The government had laid down the principle that there should be no cx- portation of power to the States. This was wise, for once power + | was exported it could not be brought | back even if Canadians did have a use for it, Mr. Conant comment Canada had suggested that development of the Upper Lakes gion includirg the Sault and Clair rapids, which the re- would hay ) be further deepened if the new St Lawrence canal was built, should be left to the United States. The upper St. Lawrence development in the In- | ternational section, trom Kingston to Cornwall, should also be done by the United States. Canada would take care of the Welland Canal, now ncar- { | ing completion, and the section | | | | | the St. Lawrence entirely within Canada. The estimated cost $200,000,000 for Canada and $350,000, 000 for the United States. Public Ownership Preferred Mr. Conant said that, in his opin- | ion, it would be unwise to ledve the development to private companies, any more than the Bahornois devel- opment now being undertaken by a large corporation. .\lthough the coun try would escape large capital com- mitments; the people would pay the price in higher cost of power. It would be unfair, also, for if the cost of power were going to be made the whole cost, as would be the case if the development would be done by private companies interested 'in thc power rights, the district from Ham- ilton to Quebec City weuld pay the whole cost, while the west, which would benefit greatly, would not pay any portion of the cost. For that reason, development by the govern- ment itself would seem logical, the speaker said, "It is astonishing that the pcople of Ontario have not taken the mat- ter into more serious consideration," said Mr. Conant. "Every city along the Great Lakes will'be able to have ocean steamers entering its harbors. Automobiles and pianos and many other products made in Oshawa for export will be located right on to the ocean freighters here in the Oshawa harbor," ' Other Benefits In addition to the navigation bene- Mr, Conant pointed out other advantages. Statisticians had shown that, for every 1,00 horsepower dc- veloped, employment was created for 325 men, Thus, if four million horses power were developed, it would give employment to one and a half hil- lion men, provide an annual wage bill of $2,000,000,000 and would mean in increase of population in this sec- tion of Canada, of 7,500,000 people, The citizens of Oshawa and of this portion of Central Ontario should get behind the development project and demand that it be' ptoceeded with at once; Mr. Conant, The speaker was introduced by President George: Hart of the Rot- ary Club, while Mayor Mitchell mo- ved a vote of thanks for the address. "I have always been of the opinion that the finest addresses at thé Osh- dwa'Rotary Club lincheons are those by our own members, and this speech Bas 1 prove my contention," the mayor sai President Hart Honored A pleasant "interlude was provided during 'the' niceting when President George Hart 'was presented with a large basket of flowers in honor of his birthday, which occurred yester- day, The presentation was made on n | msg United | was | [to s | behalf of the club by Tod, and President suitable. reply The vocational talk Rotarian Art Whattan Lytle's Oshawa brancl He confined his remarks largely to the fancy pea seed bransh of the company s activitie 1at this branch of the firm ntracts with farmers from Be ec to do ronto for the growing H bout 20,000 acres w place this crop in this district for tlie pany this year and a yield of appr ximately 100,000 bushels was antici- | pated.

Picture a twenty-dollar stenographer with a gorgeous Parisian creation when she hasn't a single party to go to and you'll know how I relt." In time, however, the younger sis- ters became self-supporting and Miss Thorne was able to turn to the work that she had longed to do from the day she drew her first picture of a dog in a school book. In 1926 her plate "Rollin Home" was published, establishing vogue at once for her deg ctchings, In 1927, "Fine Prints of the Year" and the "Fifty Best Prints of the Year" selected her whimsical study of Pan of Puck's Hill as one of the year's best productions, Thus encouraged, she made up her mind that she would escape somehow through her art from any possible implication that her work must be limited to the depiction of lovable Scotties,y Sealyhams and fox terriers, and t. ok 'to satirical etchings.

A young prison- er--one Thomas Scott--Ilay dead as a firing squad of Lculs Riel's "provisional government of Rup- ert's Land" stood with smoking rifles. A blot, still unerased by time, had been etched into the rec. ord of a striking figure of the ear- ly west. Six decades back, when Scott's execution shocked all Canada, Lou- is Riel was president of a govern- ment set up on its own authority. He headed a principality of land- holders, avowedly liege to Britain, who feared their property rights might be ignored when Manitoba joined Confederation in July, 1870, Riel's rule was a brief interreg- num in '69 ands 70 following dom- ination of the Hudson's Bay Com- pany and preceding the addition of Manitoba to the Dominion. Killing of Scott ' brought down on Riel pronounced criticism from a large section of Canada's people. It robbed him, too, of considera- tion that might have won the young Metis leader a name as guardian of the west's first farm- ers. Instead, after eight mouths of defiance, Riel fled to the Unit- ed States with $5,000 on his head Fifteen years later, at Regina, Sask., he was hanged for taking part in the Saskatchewan Rebel- lion, after return from enforced exile. Racial prejudice and religious bias have contributed to the broad variation in stories of the execu- tion of Scott. On. the one hand, it 1s stated that he was sentenced for some trifling insubordination; others say that the prisoner had threatened the life of Riel. Four years after Scott's death, Riel himself made the terse comment in The Manitoba Free Press: "Scott was executed because il was necesgary for the triumph of order and the performance of our| it respected." he was led, blind- folded, from the fort and was shot down as he knelt in prayer. To- day, at the spot where Scott died, street cars rumble along south Main street and a hotel, named for the old fort, towers nearby. Scott's body was never found. Request for the remains on the day following the execution refused and a sham grave dug in the courtyard of the fort; possibly the corpse was dropped into the Assiniboine or the Red River, whose confluence was a few hun- away. Frightful stories that Scott did not die:from the {iret fusilade and was thrown Into a waiting coffin alive are discoun- tenanced now. Rev. George Youn, sho attended Scott until his death, testified that he died from the gun volley. Aud Victor Magor, Boniface, Man., octogenarian, who reached the spot while the body duty in making In any case, Mollard and | still Jay in the snow, states that Scott was dead. Surviving old-timers who ; ported the efforts of young Riel retain their opinion that the trou- ble of 1869-'70 was not a rebellion as it is commonly' called, for it op- posed no constituted authority. They point out that the Council of Assiniboia and the whole North- west wero to be taken over from the Hudson's Bay Company in July, 1870, for £300,000; but sur- veyors sent west by the Dominion government created unrest by starting in 1869 to work on the wagon road from Oak Point, Man., to Lake of the Woods, Ont.--and Ottawa named Hon. Willlam Me- Dougall as governor of Assiniboia, despatching him to the west in 1869, before such a move was within the Dominion government's jurisdiction, Historians generally consider the Dominion administration made a great mistake in completing ne- gotiations for traggfer of the Hud- son's Bay Company fand without consulting the residents of the HAD TO QUIT PLACE sup- SHE HELD 39 YEARS | "I had gotten in such a nervous, rundown condition that 1 had to give up my position in the Eagle Knitting Mill where I had worked for 39 years Then Sanrgon built up my strength and vitality and I expect to go back to work again soon, MISS E.

Mr. McDougall re- presented them as only a few em- ployees of the Company and a number of Indian tribes--though the Red River egettlement alone numbered some 11,5600 souls. First, suspicious of surveyors with plans for square townships instead of narrow riverfront lots; then, alarmed at the arrival of authori- ties from Ottawa; finally, the set- tlers, led by Riel, decided to take the law- into their own hands, Grandson of Marie Anne Lagi- mediere, first white woman to reach the West, Riel was earnest in his efforts to aid his fellow Northwesterners, Though only 25 years of age, his education at the College of Montreal and. his inherent ability qualified to make him a leader; but the death of Scott reacted to the discredit of the Metis chieftain, "Had Riel but refrained from bloodshed---had he followed out the course to the last which he commenced, that of peace, and not allowed himself to be led by the dictates of passion, he would, in- stead of being an exile today, have been a man of high standing am- ongst his people and respected by all classes," admits Alexander Begg in his chronicle of the Red River trouble, published in 1871. And Begg is by no means regarded as partial to Riel. Mentally ailing at times during his later life; openly hostile to priests and nuns during the Sas- katchewan outbreak; executed by hanging in Regina in 1885--Riel, died, nevertheless, with the bless- ing of his church and his country- men, and with the Lord's Prayer on is lips. A book now being pre- pared by the National Metis As- soclation is destined to show that he was a patriot and a martyr, In the shadow of the "Turrets Twain," of St. Boniface Cathedral is Riel's grave. An artificial wreath, half covered with snow, rests today at the base of the tombstone, and ice has formed in the deep lines of its brief engrav- ing "Riel, 15 novembre, 1885." On a summer Sunday, the last resting place of the son of "The "filler of the Seine," is fresh with flowers. Passersby halt, murmur for the great wan who passed and then wander on.
