L || The satisfactory feature of the new arrangement, from the viewpoint of Canade is that the Roumanian Governâ€" ment has earâ€"marked its export taxes A despatch from London says:â€"A #atisfactory arrangement has been made with Roumania by the Canadian Government which will enable Rouâ€" mania to pay off the principal and inâ€" terest of the twenty odd millions of dollars which she owes to Canmada. The Roumanian Government has for a long time been unab‘le to meet even the interest due on the bonds which coverâ€" ed the trade credit that Canaca grantâ€" ed to the kingdom in 1919. The new arrangement will extend the time for the payment of principal of debt, which would have terminated in 1924, for forty years, with interest at 4 per cent. for the periocd of extension, in-j stead of five and oneâ€"haif per cent. as under the original agreement. | ROUMANIA TO DiscHArRcE bF3T To _ CANADA AT END OF FORTY yEArs One ton of silver bullion is being produced by the mines of the Cobalt district every twentyâ€"four hours.

Contrasted with the old pickâ€"anaâ€" shovel method, the locomotiva ditch digger has achioved what, years ago, was regarded as a physical impossibiliâ€" ty so far as speed is concerned. The ditch can be thus dug three feet deep and fourteen feet from the centre line of the track, the amount of dirt removed being eighteen cublc feet per lineal foot of ditch. The operation of the digging machine is controlled from the deck of the locomotive by air valves. The new method of digging a ditch alongside a railroad track is to hitch a kind of scoop to the front of a locoâ€" motive. By this mesns twenty miles of ditch can be plowed in one day at a cost of about $6.25 per mile.
