The first episode of an interestingâ€" ly portrayed and altogether unusual picture production, "The King of the Jungle," a Rayart Serial play, was shown yesterday at the Major theatre. It is filled to the brim with thrills of every description and unusual and stirring fights between the men of the Jungle as well as the ferocious beasts which infest the African wilds. An altogether capable cast, which includes Elmo Lincoln, Sally Long, Gordon Standing, George KRotsonaros, Cliff Bowes and Virginia True Boardâ€" man, has been,chosen for the enacting of this great serialplay which, if it continues at the pace set by the first episode, will undoubtedly prove the cinematographic sensation of the seaâ€" son.

ALBERTA COAL MOVEâ€". veit styman It is an interesting viewpoint that is raised in their presentation of the claims for consideration, particularly, in their request for the extension of the period for the movement of the Alberta coal, under the special rate, as given in their resolution to the Federal Government. Alberta‘s Boards of Trade Preâ€" & sent Claims to Federal Government It is generally conceded that the experiment of transporting coal _ to Ontario under the rate fixed by the Government of Canada (per P. C. 439), proved that a large trade in coal could be established between the two provinces. It is equally conceded, however, that the experiment was hampered by the shortness of the period fixed by the Orderâ€"inâ€"Council, by which the moveâ€" ment was made effective for a period of }‘ihree months, April 15th to July 15th. This period is too short and . unâ€" timely, considering the needs and conâ€" ditions of the Ontario market and is not satisfactory to either the coal opeâ€" rators of Alberta nor to the distriâ€" butors and consumers of Ontario. = American anthracite is available in Ontario every month of the year and it is this coal that the Government of Canada intended to displace by Alâ€" berta coal. ~RESOLVED, that the Boards of | l’]’mde of: Calgary, Drumheller, Ed-' monton, Edson, Lethbridge, Red Deer‘ respectfully urge upon the Governâ€" ment of Canada to extend the period for the movement of Aberta domestic coal to Ontario under spécial rate of $6.75 ‘a ton, fixed by the Board of | {Railway Commissioners and under P.| â€"C. 439, from January 1st to June 30th; ‘for the succeeding years of the test | |movement. | Imnopas wuiinl Sema nalh lc in Nes de t ens rean o. candndl But Alberta domestic coal, accordâ€" ing to the terms of the Orderâ€"inâ€"Counâ€" cil, as interpreted, is available for only three months, and that at a season when coal consumption in Ontario is at a minimum, t _ It is not to be expected that either the coal distributor or the consumer will be in a position to stock their full requirements for the fuel burnâ€" ing season in these three months, â€" Therefore, unless the shipping perâ€" iod is extended, the main purpose of the Orderâ€"inâ€"Council will be defeated. Further, it should be borne in mind that at the hearings before the Board of Railwayâ€" Commissioners in June, 1927, on the costs of transportation, the figures, as submitted by the Railâ€" way Companies, were based on a movement of coal covering a period of six months. P y This matter, which is of such vital importance to the National Welfare, has engaged the attention . of the Boards of Trade undersigned, and they have agreed on the following resolutâ€" ion: Signed on behalf of the Calgary| Board of Trade, E.
