These vessels will be of the same type as the boats of the Admiral Line, and will operate in conjunction with one or two freighters. A big business is being built up in the hauling of lumber from the Columbia river to Alaska and the expcc- lations are that it will grow materially in the future.

Cost of Flying AeropIanes.

It is estimated that the fuel and
oil costs of an aeroplane of high pow
er run into about five dollars per hour
Of fight In England there are from
one hundred and twenty to one hun
dred and fifty aeroplanes, and as each
machine Is expected to do about two
hundred and fifty hours flying annual
ly, the significance of high fuel costs
will begin to be appreciated. 1t will
be measured by fuel and oil bill Of
about one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars a year at retail prices Those
who read the signs expect the rate Of
increase of aircraft to continue to
one thousand aeroplanes, and many
dozens of airships within the next two
years mean probably a fuel and oil
bill Of $1,250,000. 1t has been further
estimated that on the above supposi-
ton OF development aeronautics may
be expected within two years to take
one-siXth part of the fuel consumption
of all the motor-vehicles in Britain.
OF the total consumption, estimated
by Mr.. Critchley at about one hundred
million gallons a year, 1t seems that
twenty million gallons are used by the
omnibuses and taxica&s of London,
while motor boats, motor cycles and
sundry users take 100000, so that
on this basis the 100000 vehicles in
England take 100000 gallons.

Security from the danger of i'm

water used for drinking purposes.
This is most urgently recommended
by the department OF health.
An examination is being made
each month of the city water. The
examination this month showed
some impurities. The heavy rains,
washing out the accumulated debris
OF the dry season are responsible for
this. The remedy is to boil all

possibilities are tremendous. 1t is
