PAGE FOURTEEN THE DAILY BRITISH Branch Of CN.R To Tap Bedford For | Feldspar J There 1s likely to be a branch line 'of railway run from the Canadian National Railway into thé township , of Bedford, starting probably from 'Westport. This line is desired to Open up the development of the feld- Spar deposits in fhe district that can- not now be reached owing to the ab- sence of railway facilities. The felds- par in this district is' regarded as Ene of the richest in North America. The only two other important depo- Sits are in North Carolina and Maine, but the deposits in the Kingston dis- trict are said to be engaging the at- « tention of the manufacturers, of por- - celain ware, electrical insulation, old "Dutch and sapolio, bathroom fix- tures, fine tile and enamelware, in- cluding automobile enamel. The de- mand for feldspar as the basis of a great many manufactured ornamen- tal articles is growing by leaps and bounds and the Frontenac deposits have increased enormously in value. Price Green, of the Canadian Na- tional Railway, has made an inspec- tion of the proposed site for the branch railway and engineers are about to be engaged to make a sur-. yey. It is stated on good authority Athat a meeting of the feldspar men ~ has been called te take place in To- ronto next week, when strong repre- sentations will be dtawn up and sent to the Canadian National Railway. Several local men are interested in the proposal, because it is believed that opening up of the district will' be good for busingss here. One of 'our factories, the Kingston Tile com- ~ pany, used a large quantity of feld- spar. There is a likelihood, too, of - the location of grinding mills at the i pits s0 that there may be some con- trol over the procéss of manufacture, thus utilizing local labor as far as possible. Up to the present time, hqw- over, the ore has been exported di- rect from the mines by vessels from Kingston and Cobourg to the United States, where it was refined, and . Some deposits have already been pur- ~ wamsed outright by Americans. The revival of local interest is a good #ign and the consent of the railway to build a branch line will enable those mow interested to develop the ores "#0 the fullest extent. 1 BO Per Cent. of Students Have Already Made Good (Canadian Press Despatch) Ottawa, Aug. 25.--Details of the work of the soldiers' civil re-estab- Nishment department, issued to-day, ghow that nearly fifty thousand men have received medical treatment with pay and allowance, Forty-eight thou men have commenced voca- tional 'training, and of these twenty- . eight thousand have graduated.
