The dock already built there has an approach of twenty- Ive feet of water. it le intended that this shall he deepened to thirty-Ive Net. Work on extending the docks will also be pushed. It in expected that approximately 3,000,000 yards of gravel will be required for the lining- in operation in the water-trout area.

Canada's Radio Introduction ot the legislation re- sults from a lengthy invutixation of broadcasting by a royal commission. which came to the conclusion that operation of broadcasting stations by private interests. " followed in the United States, has not been success- ful in Canada, where both population distribution and economic conditions are different. There are a consider- able number ot station in the Domini. on. but the reports indicated that they cannot support themselves " adver- tising programs, as in the United States, in the majority of instances, and tear. was expressed that the heavy expense incident to the opera- tion ot the stations would eventually result in the closing down of many at then, leaving the Canadian audience with little radio entertainment other than that received from the United States. The cost ot the chain and its auxili- aries was estimated at $3,250,000, and the operating expense was placed " $2,500,000 2. year. Existing broadcast. ing stations, nil ot which would be put out of operation or converted into auxiliary stations under the plan, would be taken over by the govern. ment and their owners compensated. The costs of establishing and main- taining the government service won!!! be covered " license fees. rental at stations for indirect advertising and a subsidy from the government. The commission recommended that broadcasting be phced on a basin of public service, that a provincial direc- tor should be appointed for ottett pro- vince. to have full control ot pro- grams broadcast in his toritory, and that he be aided try a provincial advis- ory council on radio and broadcasting. Eutatttutttnettt of a chain of seven high-powered stations tannin; across Canada. was recommended for initial service, to be the nucleus ot the more ambitious system eventually to ' be created. These stations would have 3 power ot as high as 50,000 watts with supplementary stations of lower power (rm-ml in areas not "eetivelr cov- ered by the main stations. Existing stations would be used until the pro- posed chain and auxiliary stations were built. It is proposed to increase license fees for receiving sets from " to " a year, which would provide an em- mated revenue ot $900,000.

Ottawa. The quickening ot production in practically all lines ot industry in con. sidered try economists to be largely due to an increased supply ot power and a widening of its uses. Special siggtif1ettnee therefore attaches to the fact that with undertakings brought into operation last Fear and with those which are either under active con- struction or are being studied for ear. ly development, a steadily increasing Bow ot low-cost hydroelectric power is assured for Canadian industrial en- terprises for some years. The total capacity ot new water. power installations brought into opera- tion during 1929 amounts to 378.400 horsepower, bringing the total instal- iotion for Canada to 5,727,600 horse. power. There are severai important undertakings under construction which will add more thou 1,600,000 horse- power to this total during the next three "In.

The commission also took horsepower nder contract from vari- ous companies.

The Pembina story itt to the elect that the plane landed there on Ttteg. day about three miles outside the town. It came from Canada. Before town omclaln could get to it the ma- chine took to the at: and new south. erly. At the same time an automobile was seen to leave the pines side and con- tinue on the road in the direction ot St. Paul. Examination ot the iield where the plane landed showed that boxes about the size ot whiskey cases had rested on the snow probably while being transferred from the plane in which, oilicers are inclined to think, liquor was brought from Canada, to the automobile, which, it their theory is correct took the csrgo further to- ward ite destination. Enquiries made in Winnipeg as to whether the plane had been seen here brought no information of value. No person could be found who now. From the Manitoba, Liquor Commission " was learned that no large purchases ot liquor were made on that day, but there were many transactions, all to permit-holders. where single cases were involved. Most of the purchases have been checked and still hue their liquor so It I: doubtful it the plane's liquor cargo, it that was its nature. was se- cured here. Ancient Trowel Found in London Used by Roman Workman Nearly 1,900 Years Ago London-The great City ot Lon- dinium, which the Romans built so strongly beside the Thames nearly nineteen hundred years ago, has gone, leaving scarcely a vestige of itself be- hind. _ The mighty wall, three miles long and eight feet thick, with which they surroundeq it has taded away; so that it seemed very strange one day last week to pick up one ot the very trowela used by the Roman builders. It is ot good thick iron. The neck curves back somewhat over the blade, and rusted on to it is the ferrule which prevented the handle from upm- ting when the three-lnch-long tang was driven Into It. Altogether it is remarkably like the tool used tor the same purpose may. The triangular blade is rather broader in proportion to its length. That 1- all the (utterance. Yet there an be no doubt that it in of Roman date. 'workmen, muting en excavation on Fish Street-hill. neat: London Bridge, had dug through e layer of not! containing innumerable fragments of Roman pottery of the second century A.D., and below this they came upon the looting: of u no man wall-tttst an ordinary house well about two feet thick.

Along with It were more pieces ot the Romans' favorite bright red crock- ery, but ot rather an earlier date than that which.was In the layer above.
