he fire at 5.30 and shortly after words becomng sensible of smoke went down to investigate, and found the floor in the dining room about the smoke pipe was __on-fire. Though it was quickly extinguished, a .few minutes would have proven disastrous, as the floor runs under a parti- tion, from which smoke was al- ready oozing. While the im- mediate cause of the fire was the pipes burning out, the re- mote cause was the fault of the person who put the pipes so dangerously near the floor.

Clifford, M.P., and shows that he is "reporting progress." Ottawa, December 19, Dear Sir: In reply to Jour letter of the 16th inst., enclosing letter from the secretary of the Port Perry Board of Trade, I fear you are asking too much of this Board at the present time, for the simple reason that the Grand Trunk Railway has not the equipment referred to in the Board's letter. On the other hand, we have 'been strongly -encouraging the construction and use of these gas cars for the past two years, and they are now being tried in a number of places in Canada. There is one on the Canadian National on Vancouver Island another around Trenton, Ontario and a much smaller one running from Stanley to Cross Creek, a distance of only 8 miles, in New Brunswick. The: C. P. R. is operating one near Montreal,and the D. & H.is running one from St. Lambert to Fortierville, a distance of over 100 miles. We have seen enough already, because we have been keeping very accurate track of their per- formance, to satisfy the Board that this car, or something very much like it,.is the solution for branch line traffic. =~ We are satisfied these cars can be oper- ated for a little less than 30c. per car mile, including -5¢c. per mille for depreciation, that is al- ways suposing that the railway | companies are reasonable and do not load them down with un- necessary labor and unnecessary wages, but, in the case of the D. & H., we know it is being done for less than that figure. In all probability from $1.25 to $1.50 per car mile would be the abso- lutea minimum at which a steam train could be operated. It seems to me that one of these cars could make at least two round trips per day on any branch line for less than one- quarter of what one trip would cost by a steam train, and, as they are able to carry mail and light express, they serve the public in outlying districts near- ly as well as a steam train would do. Of course, there must be -a-steam train at intervals to look after the freight business. National Railways are thorough- ly convinced that the scheme is all right, and they now have Canada at which they would like to place one of these cars, and intend doing so just as soon as the money is available for their I am sending a ie dwells with the |P 1922 The officials of the Canadian something like eighty places in| Farm to Rent Between Oshawa and the Lake.
