IRON ORE DEPOSITS
DISCOVERED IN B. c.

HUDSONS HOPE, B c., Sept 26
Recent discovery of rich iron ore
deposits near Grande Prairie, north
of this city may give western Canada
a new industry and much cheaper
iron and steel products, according to
A. A. Rae of Grande Prairie, who
has forwarded reports Of the strike.
The discovery was made by Bill
Carter, Fred Blanchard and Bill Innes,
all well-known prospectors and thor
ough.y familiar with the district.
The claims recorded lie about 80
miles northwest of here according to
Rae, and cover about 60 MES of
territory Nine-foot pits have failed
to show any decline in the value of
the ore, which, by analysis, runs as
high as 50 per cent pure iron, with
no evidences of impurities, Rae said
The proximity of high-grade coking
coal, analyzing about 50 per cent
fixed carbon, and the immense posi-
bilites for hydrO-electric development
in the. Peace river canyon make a
combination that, in the opinion of
mining men, may make possible the
establishment of a steel mill
Complete reports of the discovery
are being forwarded to Ottawa, Ed
mOnton and Victoria.

ENGLAND LIKES

REGULATIONS
Not Pleased With CaustiC Re-
marks of Gov. Cox Without
Constructive Criticism

LONDON, Sept. 26.-American visi-
tors to London, especially prominent
ones, are inclined to say pleasant
things to their hosts, and Englishmen
are not disinclined to listen The
latest example of this was given by
Governor Cox Of Ohio, who is quoted
by the Daily Mail as saying some
very pleasing things about London as
a city
But would it not be better all
around, asks the Daily Chronicle, if
they would give US some constructive
criticism? Lamenting the frequency
of accidents on London streets, this
paper says: "Why doesn't London
initiate New York, which now leads
the world in traffic regulation? 1t
is perhaps too much to hope for the
system of signal boxes, semaphores
and colored lights that make Fifth
avenue a model of safety and efficient
traffic regulation. But at least we
could follow New York's example in
forbidding pedestrians to cross the
roadway at dangerous crossings until
the point policeman has arranged a
fairway and given permission to cross.
This rule is so strictly carried Out
that even the New York messenger
boy does not infringe it,
Another rule that is universal in
America and Canada compels all
motor traffic to stop dead until a
tramcar has discharged and taken up
its passengers and started off again
Why this rule is not adopted in Eng
lsnd it is impossible to imagine"
1T is nice to have Americans come
here and throw lovely bouquets at
u.s." said an English writer, "but
think they would do us more good
if they occasionally tod US point
blank of some of the things they find
wrong with us. This mutual admira.
ton business that goes on now is
not good for either of us"

But she was clever enough to pre-
