Sproule Flesherton OCR LIOOTTE DEPOSITS. Iinrae<llnte St«ps Will Be Taken to Utilize Them. The order-ln-council by which I? created a Lignite Utilization Boa:d for tin; Dominion o' Can.ida will In- terest many citizens of our country. For many years past, it has been one of the anomalies of Canadian econo- mics ti'at whilst the Dominion has fuel rotKiurccs second r.nly to those of the United States, Ihe greatsst coal-producing country in the world, it Imports, and always has imporlod, about fifty per cont. of its fuel. Most of thi.>< fuel is brought into the coun- try over immense distances, unne- cessarily absorbing labor and trans- port facilities urgentl.v needed in other directions, and udding enor- mously to the cost of the fuel itself. Long before the war, the absurdi- ties of such a system were apparent to anyone who stopped to consider the matter, but the necessity for conservation In all directions impos- ed by the war has emphasized the need of a change, and has brought under the consideration of the aulli- oritits many schemes for the develop- ment of Canada's own fuel lesowrces. Ar.iongst the questions which have thus been forced to the front is the much discussed matter of the ulilizu- tlon of the Dominion's vast lignite deposits. In the original state, these deposits can be used only when freshly mined, and, even then, Ihe lignite as it comes from tVio min'^s is not suited for household purposes. By a process of carbonizing, how- t'vcr, the material may be converted into a kind of coke or charcoal, which is readily britjuetted. When thus treated, the resultant product is a fuel equal in heating value to anthracite, with the additional ad- vantage that it may be sold at $7 a ton, and a just profit obtained from it at that price. Some time ago, the committee p.p- pointed by the Government to in- quire into the matter reported that the art of producing these carbonized briquettes had passed the laboratory stage; that no further information could bo obtained from laboratory methods, and that the producer must face the question, often a very dif- ferent one, of working out the results obtained in the laboratory on a large commercial scale, in other words pur- ling theories to a pi.actii'al lest. This is the great task which the Canadian Government has now un- derlaken, and the matter is to be pu.shcd forward with energy. The I'rovince of SaHkatehowun, the bal- ancing point for the fuel from the cast and the Vvost, has been choson as the scene for the iuilial enterprise. After full investigation has be°n made of all the machines and pro- cesses at present available, the board will construct, or contract f)/', a plant of commercial size adjacent to the great lignile mines of South- ern Saskatchewan, and will, at ho earlif-Kt po.s.slblc moment, be.^l!! lo dislribulo the output throuKh the ordinary channels of trade. The whole question is, of oour.so, very much a matter for the exueri, but it cannot be doubted, by tho.so who have given the iiiatt<r anv sliidy, that a great fuliire lie.s befoie such an industry. If Ihe board imu foresee the possibility of retailing the now fuel to-day at $7 a Ion, be- fore the great question of by- products has been fully studie.l, Ihcii' Is every prospect that the prlo'.' in Ihe future, v.lion Ihia l;a.^ b; :i! dono, will lend to be reducdl ra(h.-r than increased.

JWXM Stevenson, assistant electri- cian hi the Maefurlane Engine Worki, Paris, who had Just returned from two years' war service, was in- stantly killed during his first week at work, by n nul;il ladder he was carrying touching a high poieulial wire. The following excerpts art from letters recently written to his parents by Pte. Will Buchanan, son of Mr, and Mrs. Joseph Buchanan. Will was with the army of occupation at Bonn : We luve been on ths hike foi four dayj, averaging tifieen niiirs per day, ihe last three days being spent in Germany. It was ca Dec. U when we crossed the fronuer from Belgium into Gtrmany, and just at that point, on Belgian soil, we saw nn our left a very pretty valley. Since then we have seen liome vciy pretty scenury and have bi en climbing hills lo no end. We have climbed so high that bonie of the lads think we have iioDe auove the golden gate where St. Peter stands with the hooked stick. One hill we wcDt up yesterday was a mile and a quarter long and a couple that we went up todsy were nearly a mile long. It certainly is a grand trip, but I would just as soon be excused, as I have seen uasier j jbs. The people here in Germany treat us fairly well, but not so kindly as those in Belgium. They 'give us everything wo want. I do not know whether Jlhey are afraid not to do so. One thing T know is that we will have it, anyway. Need- less to Bay we have good billets, and from now til we leave the country we expect to have no more barn billets. I am writing this under a very nice electric ligut. G O " I wrote last week saying that we hud crosned the border into Germany and I felt like saying thit the farther we marched the less friendly we found the people, but since llieu my opinion has changed xomewhat. Then the people did not seem very friendly, but at that time we ware in the mountainous part of the country, where the people had none too much to Uvj on. Bit now we are in the fertilu plains of the Rhine river and in this district the people are better to do, better educated and more friendly towards us. I'orliaps they have had a harder diilling by the Prui-siali spirit, but they do rut act as if they trea; us well through fear, but because they want to do so. The night before lut we had a lino billet in which lived two very nice looking young ladies who alw.iya gave us a pleasimt smile when we went into -the kitchen, and hero in GoJesbcrg wo have a splendid billet, u sclioolhouso that has been tilted up for a hospital, and thus wo have real beds lo sleep on. Il is buch a comfortable place that 1 am sorry we must leave tomorrow, whu» Ihe Second t^'aniainii Division will niarch in a body tliroiiL'h Huiiii, II city of eiL'lily thou.saiid iiihabilaiitf, U'ld from there about eight miles to somo town, wheio wo will remain until the armistice is ended. Bonn will bi our divisional headiiuirters, and the Division will be spread around lu the diiierent towns to do garrieon duty, I suppose until we are relieved or until Geiniuny's governniciil is in walking order. At pre.,eiit ihey are rather un- settled, so we are here to keep the pjace. Oecisionally we meet some who can speak English. One ws met this mun- iug gave us to understand that they thoui;ht the kaiser w.is wholly to bliime for tlui «ar. Whicli of course is wlnt wo ihou^lu all the time.
