He was supported only by his own party, which mustered 54 votes, while 93 de puties ranged themselves against him. | T. J. O'Connell, leader of the Labar party, led the opposition against De Valera and was himself the second candidate to be rejected. Only the 13 deputies in his party voted for him, and~while the Fianna Fail men took mo part in the division, there were 78 ggg, followers of Cosgrave who voted in the negative. Then Mr. Cosgrave was put forward by the Government party, the Cumann Na Ngardheal, In opposing the 'election of De Va- Jera, Mr. O'Connell asserted that the leader of the Republicans did not re- oognize the Dail as a legitimate body and therefore should not be chosen as its head. He also said that if re. cent De Valera speeches in the United States were accurately reported in the press cables, they indicated that De Valera was preaching a doctrine that would result in "an immediate and terrible war." Desmond Fitzgerald, Minister of De- fence in the Cosgrave Cabinet which resigned last week, also made a vigor ous speech in opposition to De Valera. He was followed by Patrick Hogan, Minister of Agriculture, who said that it De Valera were elected, . gunmen would be the real governors of the 'country. 4 Is Sentenced to Die Tries to Shield Pal Murderer Causes Sensation in Vancouver Court After Judge Condemns Him to Gallows Vancouver, B.C.--Albert Wiser, 20, a native son of British Columbia, who is awaiting death on the scaffold in Oakalla prison * eannot read nor write, _ on Friday, June 13th.

Th It jon and the United States would Jeave the former with an annual bill of only $12,000,000, or about the amount that would be annually saved on trafic. There were only two natural open: ings through the Alleghenies to the Atlantic, the St. Lawrence and the old Mohawk Trail from Oswego to Al- bany and down the Hudson. The first was considered preferable and the re- moval of its remaining barrier would benefit 40,000,000 people dn the two countries. The effect on Canada, he declared, would be to add 300,000 em- ployees to the working population, or 1,200,000 all told, draw investments totaling $2,000,000,000, build many of fuel raul engineering at McGill University. Speaking before a lake satiering of the Canadian Club at lunch the Chateau Laurier recently, on eh Jlargest problem that Canada has ever faced," he enlarged upon the economic aspects of the scheme, showing that the forming of an uninterrupted water route from the head of the Great Lakes to Mont- real and the making available 5,000, 000 horsepower on the river would not only pay for. the full cost of construc. tion, but add some $800,000,000 an- nually to the national wealth, of the he called the country. He pointed out how the vast pro portion of western grain moved east from the head of Lake Superior to the foot of Lake Huron, whence it reached the eastern seaboard via Buf. falo, and less than 50 per cent, of Canadian export grain was shipped from Canadian ports.

Birtle, Man,--Scores of Indian youngsters from schools and reserves were scouring this district, under police supervision, seeking some trace of Agnes Ben, 14-year-old Indian girl.

When the comparatively short shallow area in the St. Lawrence was 'removed, the whole 1200 miles to tidewater, with a saving of a bushel on hundreds of factories, cheapen the movement of goods and strengthen national existence, Visitor Amazed at Dominion's Growth Scottish Lad Made Trip Here 20 Years Ago. Astonishment at the growth of Can- ada, especially of the West, was ex- pressed by Col. W. Muray Threipland, late commanding officer of the Weldh Guards, in an interview. Cot. Threipland has been on a trip to New Zealand and is now on his way back to England. He is laird of the estates of Dale and Toftingall in | Caithness, Scotland. He served in the Sondan campaign of 1898 and holds the Khartoum, Queen's and Khedive's medals, He also served in South Af- rica and the Great War. Colonel Threipland explained-that it had been 20 years since he had been in Canada, "Vancouver is growing with tremendous rapidity," he said.

This is revealed by Rt. Hon. A, V. Alexander, First Lord of the Admiralty, in answer to ques- tions in the House of Commons. The Dominion contributions take form of maintenance of their own naval force establishments, with the excetion of New Zealand, which also contributes towards the cost of the Singapore naval base.

It is sald that the application al- ready has the approval of a majoritp of the members of the city council and will probably go through with little or flo opposition. lio Australia's Restriction On Imports Is Believed To Be Only Temporary an alr base. Hangars will be built by Dominion Explorers Limited ,and ethers plang made, as it is expected that many of the concerns operating aeroplanes in the Far North this year will use the end of steel at Waterways for theig base. Areas which will see the greatest amount of mineral activity will be around Great Slave and Great Bear lakes, Coppermine river, Foothills re- gion, and in the area near Bathurst Ine let on the Artic coast. The companies will include the Con- solidated Mining and Smelting, Do- minion Explorers, Atlas Exploration company and others. From ten to twelve aeroplanes will be in operation over the northern mining fields during the coming sea- son, says the Colonel, Arrangements have also been made for some of the leading geologists of the United States and Canada to fly over the Northern zones:-and check the work of field men, some of whom are now there, One result of the work to date, is the elimination from. thé immediate program of certain areas where it would be unprofitable to operate ow- ing to lack of transportation factlities, said Colonel Cornwall, The company will concentrate on areas where the problems are less dif- ficult of solution, ed, to $9; do, fair, $7.50 to $8.25; A five-year program made by the calves, ood. to choice, $13 to $14; do, Dominion Explorers Limited ,will be med., $10 to $12. 50; do, grassers, $7 adhered to and considerable work will to $7.50; springers, § to $110;| be done this year. "In spite of economic conditions, which to say the least, are not flour- ishing, mining groups are greatly ime pressed with the prospects of the Far North and will carry out their original programs," said the Colonel. "Such outstanding geologists as T. Lindsay and J, Errington, will be among those who will fly in this sea- son to check over the work being done." Great Gusher Hard to Cap Terrific Sand Blast Has Chews ed Former Control Gates Into Steel Sponge ake Oklahoma City.--The task of plac- ing a third cap or control gate on the world's wildest oil and gas gusher was nearing completion, but whether, once fastened, it would hold the giant geyser in submission was dopbtiul, Two control gates have been placed on the well since it blew in on March 26, but they failed to hold. Phe No. 1 Mary Sudik well has ways of its own. It is something more than an oil gasser. it is a gusher which com. tains in its stream a sand blast more powerful than any ever man, This sand blast has thwartel the ordinary methods of controlling such a well, An ordinary well usually cleans itself out after a short blowing period, but the Mary Sudik's stream seems to come from reservoirs which the pressure of the well's great source must have churned for eons. Engl neers point out that there never'is damaging friction on the capping of an oil well except at the top, where the cap must be placed. The sand coming from this gusher has chewed Sydney, Australia, -- Australia's drastic restriction of imports means of governmental prohibitions by' all valves placed on ft info' steel spongecake and keeps the top cap ping rim honed like a razor.
