14 Befcre the Board of Trade on Canada's National Resources. | __The members of the Kingston | 3oard of Trade had the privilege of | " dstening to one of the most interest- | '4ng and entertaining addresses ever delivered in Kingston, on the subject of "Canada's Natural Resources." Not oniy was the speaker, Price; Greene, commissioner of .the Canad- | fan National 'Railways' industries and resolirces department, well pre- pared with his facts, but he pos-| sessed the faculty of presenting tnem | in a manner that delighted all his | Leurers. He gave a bird's eye view | dominion, and dealt GREENE'S LECTURE | the world. In the maritime THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG.

Mr. Greene believed chief reason why we steel the had pot retained our population and | { sone ahead faster commercially was our failure to develop the steel in- dystry. Ch 8 M. Schawb predicted that in tw 3 would bé in great demand, .and we would be producing everything that England was producing as a result of her steel industry. The speaker believed that in addition to electric smelting, would have to be amalgamation of our coal and.iron Interests. This was being done in Germany, in order to compete with provinces, this would have to be done, for there an industry could be built up that would rival the United States. At the present time, Pennsylvania could de- years, Canada's iron | |FINED FOR DRIVING ,. OVER BARRED RDAD Thirty = five Auto Drivers | © Were Before Magistrate Bradshaw, Wednesday. { Thirty-five persons were summon- {ed to appear Wednesday in County | Magistrate Bradshaw's court for de- | | liberately driving over a portion of | {the provincial highway that was bar- | red off while under construction, and, { in some cases, despite the notice and | presence of a man placed at the spot: | The summons were issued on com- | plaint of a provincial highway offi- clal. Eleven appeared Wednesday | mdrning, pleaded guilty and were | fined $5 and costs. The balance of {the cases were heard in the after- n of the whole with minerals and mining, our for- ests, pulp and lumber industries and lisneries, and our great railway trans- portation systems. At the conclusion of his address, a hearty vote of thanks, moved by F. J, Hoag and se- conded by Mayor H. C. Nickle, was unanimously carried. J. M. Campbell, president,~occup- Z led the chair and the secretary, W. Kent Macnee, read an invitation to the members to attend the conven- tion of Associated Boards of Trade for Eastern Ontario, which meets at Belleville, Nov. 25th and 26th. On the motion of W. Y. Mills all of the mem- bers were requested to attend the conyention. Fj J. Hoag, chairman of the indus- trigs committee, reported upon' the work accomplished during the past year and showed the great need for | world. There is the highest quality of || further development in the interests of the business of the city and growth of popylatin. The committee was ac- tive in promoting industries, and B. N. Steacy, chairman of the civic com- mittee, had done valuable work. J. M. Campbell, chairman of the | railway committee, reported that the | railways had been 'most considerate | of Kingston's claims, with the result | that we now had the Lest service in the history of the city. In introducing Price Greene, he told of his thirty years' experience with the Canadian | railways and the government geolo- gical department, 'which brought him into touch with Canadian develop- ment. Price Greene Speaks. Mr. Greene stated that Canada possessed everything in the way of natural resources. kirst, there were our great railways. The government | systems included 22,000 miles and the Canadian Pacific system miles, both extending from the At- lantic to the Pacific. We are better served by the C.N.R. than ever be- fore, and we appregjate the service | they are giving us: But Capada's greatest natural resource today was its population. To the question dften asked, why don't we develop our great natural resources, he said: "We have only 8,000,000 people but great progress is being made. In chemical industries alone we have done more than any 9,000,000 people in the world. No country has done more | than Canada has done. He believed that Kingston should today have 20,- 000 more people than it has and he estimated that the city has exported education~to the value of $10,000,- | 000. He .thought that this was just 80 much money lost to Kingston and it should have been utilized in build- ing up industries here during the past thirty years. Unless the resour- ces that lie at our very doors are de- veloped they are hot going to be an ®conomic force, The speaker regarded the discus-|M2de and no one knew its extent, | sion of Canada's natural resources of great psychological value because it woncentrated the minds of the peo- ple upon these things. They must be looked at from a broader standpoint. The C.N'R, is. one of the greatest railway systems in the world today, and D. B. Hanna, the present head, has had much to do with 'its achife- .yements. The speaker regarded Mr. Hanna as one of the greatest railway men Canada has produced. He gave a brief history of the C.N.R. from the e when the west produced but a very small quantity of wheat. It de- | veloped large areas of the prairie provinces into productiveness, .creat- ed a market for the manufacturers of the east, and exported $600,000,- 000 worth of wheat. Canada's Minerals, a Taking up the question of miner- als, he showed that Canada was the greatest producer of asbestos in the world. Its nickel represented eighty per cent. of the 'world's' supply, the gold mines were greater than those of any other country, yiélding $60,- 000,000 last year, while our silver last year amounted to $200,000,000, of which $100,000,000 was paid in dividends. He saw possibilities in the development of our iron industry by improved methods in treating the in: exhaustible ore deposits that would rival the United States.

I went to several doctors and tried different cough medicines, but nothing seemed to help me. One day a friend told me bout Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, and after using several bottles I became com- pletely relieved. ,1 always keep a bottle in the house, and also recom- mend it to others.

You can see in this combina- | tion the development of a great na- i tional industry. be Minerals In This Distriét, { - The counties of Hastings and [Frontenac hold minerals capable of { building up a great chemical-fndustry | right here, but Queltec holds the | greatest number of minerals in the | flake graphite and fifty-two 'varieties | of talc, all of commercial value. Our | feldspar deposit is greater than any other in, North America. Then there { 1s mica, copper and zinc. The reason | why our mining was not properly de- | veloped was that it had been .in wrong hands. Men without technical knowledge held claims and hundreds of dollars were wasted when hun- dreds of thousands were needed to create industrial development. He prophesied that is is bound to become the most important mineral produc- | ing part of North America. Our mar- ble was far superior to that of Ver. | mont, and was 'likely to be in faf | greater demand. We possessed depo- sits of the very chemicals needed in our great pulp industry as well as in pottery and china. Our great mineral {area extended from Kingston to the McKenzie River in the north and to Labrador in the east.

The oil of Northern Alberta is es- timated to last for one hundred years while the asphalt of the Athabasca | river is sifficient to pave the whole of North America. = ~ Our Forest Rosources, . Taking up our forest resources Mr. Greene said no accurate survey of cur forest wealth had ever beea but it is estimated that Ontario' and Quebec contained 450,000,000 tons of pulp wood that would last seventy years. The Pacific forests would last | sixty-five ~ years. Ontario's pulp | wood has done much to maintain the balance of trade for eighty-five per cent. of our timber and wood | products goes to thesUnited States annually. As an indication of the United States demand he stated that country consumed half the | world's supply of white paper, the | issue of one New Yor daily paper |feépresenting forty acres of timber. i In the pulp wood industry, represent- | ing a capital of $220,000,000, we de- |rived an 'annual revenue of $120,- 1000,000. The United States con- | sumes thirty-two billion feet of-tum- | | ber per year, and the country now | |faces & famine Within fifty years | when they will not have a single | stick -of timber, owing to fatlure to {conserve their forests by reforesta- [tion. Within tive .years, they will not have any southern pine and al- | ready eighty-five per cent. of their {mills in the south have closed per- | manently, He pointed to Quebec as | in advance of Ontario in lumbering. | There ten million seedlings are | planted each year and the timber is {cut in lanes to provide for the new growth. He scouted 'the idea that trees would be replaced in thirty years, it took one hundred years to replace the fir. Mr. Greene expressed strong cen- sure of Sir Andrew Macphail for his statement that we do not need to | provide for posterity, and showed [how the forests of France saved that country ia the late war. Ffance { planted her forests sixty years ago. {Sir Andrew Macphail's statement | was. cowardly in a university man. By carrying out a. system of refores- tation on the great northern plateau Ontario will provide a greater Ye- venue than she can possibly obtain from any other source, even at $5.60 per thousand feet, which we are re-, ceiving at the present time. The fisheries of the Pacific and Atlantic were other great inhaust- ible resources mentioned by Mr. Greene, in addition to 240,000 miles of inland fisheries. These were 'capable of greater development. _ Lastly, the Canadian clim touched upon in a humoro man- ner that showed people residing In other countries at a great disad- vantage.
