"Mr. Ney explained the method adopted of first locating, by aerial navigation, a suitable lake on which to land in the neighborhood sof (the theoretical boundary line and the mathematical application of astronomy and geodesy in the remaing steps for finding the ac tual position of the boundary. A 300 mile canoe trip along the Hudson Bay coast from York Fac. tory southeasterly to determine the 89th meridian of longitude ~ was also described together with the establishment of the boundary South Carolina Avenue At the Boardwalk ATLANTIC CITY'S Newest Cenirally Located Fireproof Hotel $5.00 DAY AND UP AMERICAN PLAN Write, Phone or Wire, terminal, the most northerly limit of Ontario, at the point where this meridian intersects the west coast of Hudson Bay--the Ontario.

ALBERTA GOV'T. IS ATTACKED IN HOUSE Irrigation Project Losses Scored by Liberals Edmonton, Alta, Feb, 5.~--~Loss- es on the Lethbridge northern fir- rigation project, which he declared were running into millions ot dol. lars, formed the principal am. munition with which George Wel- ster, Liberal leader, Calgary, bom. barded the Government in cons tinuing the Throne Speech debate in the Legislature. To the eyensive" policies of the few yéars, the leader of the Lib- eral group attributed this drain on the taxpayers' purses, and a complete reversal of policy was, in his opinion, required, Appointment 'of advisory com. missions was roundly scored, as a ioverament method of evading ministerial responsibility, Reor- "ganization of the Cabinet, too, was to his way of thinking long over- due, and it wes high time effec. tive Surerviglon of resources ad- ministration "was made possible, Surpluses reported annual by the Provincial Treasurer were all too easy to obtain, was a further ~harge, for, he insisted, these were produced by borrowing on capital account and increasing the public debt. Steps to assist Alberta farmers -~through "Canadian prices for Canadian products," through ad- justment of freight rates, through establishment of Government "trade marks" on exported goods R. B. LUDY, M.D, ~were recommended to the ser. fous attention of the Provincial House, by J. Russell Love, U.F.A., Wainwright, in continuance of the debate.

PAISH DISCUSSES WORLD DEPRESSION Too Rapid Expansion of Credit to U.S. is Blamed Belfast, Northern Ireland, Feb. 5.--Sir George Paish, former ad- vider to the British Treasury, in a speech here yesterday attributed the present world economic crisis to a too rapid expansion of credit in the United States. The T. 8. he sald, enjoyed a de- gree of prosperity such as no other country ever experienced because of her ability to sell her goods in Europe. That is no longer possible, he declared, because the world is not buying U. 8, products now at any price. Asserting that the world credit aystem fig in danger, of collapsing, he suggested three remedies: A ~onference of business men With 'ntornational interests; erasure of the inter.Allied debts and German veparations, and a dependable guarantee of world peace. Sir George advised resum'ion af British trade with Russia, de slaring that the coming century will be one of Russian expansion was one of U. 8, ex- pansion, WKITMET" WITH OTIS SKINNER AT REGENT Playing day and date with the Tivoll theatre, Toronto, Otis Skin- ner in "Kismet" comes to the Regent screen for a special two day engagement, extending today and Friday. It {s the same magni- ficent adventure production that played on Broadway at $2.00 prices. "Kismet", based on Mr. Skin- ner's greatest triumph on the stage, 12 one of the most elaborate productions ever made at the First National Studios. The scenery and costumes are truly Oriental in their magnificence and according to those who have seen the picture in advance, its photographic qual. ity sets a new standard of excel. lence for the industry. Over 4,600 people appear in the picture and the cast of principals supporting Mr, Skinner embraces such names as those of Loretta Young, Manners, Mary Duncan, Sidney Blackmer, Ford Sterling, Montagu Love and Edmund Breese, The original play by Edward Knoblock has been adapted to the screen by Howard Estabrook, It was first produced in London and New York in 1911, Oscar Asche playing the role of Hajj, the beg- gar, in the London produgtion, while Otis Skinner created the same role in America. After an en. gagement of an entire year, Mr. Skinner played "Kismet" on ths road for two years more. Ten Sears ago "Kismet" was made by him as a silent picture, scoring a notable popular success. The new screen version presented by First National brings all the resources of modern motion ' plctute and Vitaphone production to bear In making "Kismet" as it will be pre. served for posterity---the ultimate achievement of the art of Otis Skinner and the high-water mark to date in motion pictures, On the same programme -one will find plenty of spice and var fety, for Manager Leon Osier has blended a mighty fine supporting blll of featurettes, among which will be found Nat Carr in a screamingly funny sketch "Trader Ginsberg" and a rusicomedy en titled "Office Steps' as well as the aways interesting Fox movie- lone news, SURVEYING OF NORTH COUNTRY IS PZOGRESSING: Aeroplane Photography Is Being Extensively Used in Work Ottawa, Feb. 6.--' That a procise traverse is being extended through the flat, heavily timbered county north -of Cochrane following the T. & N. O. Railway and that it will be continued to James Bay when the railroad is completed," was the statement of H. P. Moulton, D.L. 8., In presenting the Report of the Geodetis Survey Committee at the annual convention which is being held in Ottawa, today. The ter- minal traverse stations when James Bay is reached, will prob- ably form the geographic basis of a triangulation net up the east coast of Hudson Bay. Mr. Moulton also stated that a programme of aerial reconnals- sdnce is heing carried out at the present time in Northern Ontario, consisting of the selection of tri- angulation statfons for a net ex- tending from Sudbury to Lake Nip- igon. The use of aeroplanes for reconnalssance and transportation of observation parties has become more extensive while the use of aerial photographs for the solu- tion of problems in reconnaissance has given satisfactory results. Close cooperation is being main. tained between forestry officizls and the Geodetic Survey as tri- angulation stations form ideal sites for forestry fire detection towers and vice versa, and the. accurate determination for tho geographic position of the towers by the sur- vey is of great service to the for- esters in correcting their maps. Mr. Moulton also made a very 'omplete' roport, of all the various wperations of the Geodetic Survey carried on during the season of 1930. In British Columbia recon- David naissance for a net in the Fraser river valley has reached to within fitty miles of Prince George where it will connect with the system projected in previous years east- ward from Prince Rupert. The an- gular measurements will probably be completed in 1988. In the prairie provinces good progress was made on a net south- ward from Prince Albert to the International Boundary. On com- pletion this not will extend from the boundary through Medicine Hat, Calgary, Edmonton, Lloyd- minster Prince Albert, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw back to the Inver national boundary. Reconnaissance was begun and is. being continued by aeroplane during the prosent winter, north- ward from Prince Albert, to forma the basis of primary triangulation control in the mineralized belt of the Northwest Territories. Such progress has been made an the fundamental nots of northwes- tern Quebec that the completion of two small gaps in 1931 will conse plete two large loops in the disirict lying north of Ottawa, and be- tween Three Rivers and tho On- tario boundary. In this area all the werk of transportation was done by aeroplanes, which were in Nee at the same time for aerial nhotographic mapping onorations. 't is gratifying to note that in the Province' of Quebec the provinelal authorities aporeclate the value of 'e Geodetic Surveys and are look- ne forward in the near future fo the establishment (hy their own "urveyors of subsidiary triangula- tion nets based on primary sta- tions, and a beminning was made at this work in 1927 and 1928. Six Laplace stations and eleven 'tations for the determination of ho deflection of the plumbline were observed at during the year. At one place in the Gaspe Penin- sula, this deflection would cause an error of 2,000 feet in a googra- phie position determined astronom- ically, Precise levelling was carried on on Vancouver Island and gecond- ary levelling in the Muskoka dis- trict of Ontarlo and north of the St. Lawronce river in Quebec. The triangulation nets from \lontreal to the Maritime provinces have been adjusted and the results will be contained In six publica- tions, three of which are alroa" avallable.
