 "Less than twenty years ago when we succeeded in financ- ing the construction of the c. N. R. from Edmonton through the Yellow Head Pass to Van- couver there were financiers, economists and statesmen who called the enterprise madness.
 "Now that same Yellow Head Pass line linking mid-conti- mental America with Vancouv- CT is universally acknowledged to be the best and most eco homie railway ever built across the North American Continent. The Sante Fe, the Union Pa cific and every other railway line to the Pacific may expend a billion or more in tunnels and grade betterments, but they can never compete as car riers with the c. N. R. from the Great Lakes to the Pacific.
 "But even the best sometimes may be bettered. Before the Yellow Head Line to Vancouv- CT was completed I discovered that a railway run due East from Portland Canal through the Peace to the Saskatchewan River would far excel the c. N. R. line in grades and curva- ture and in the actual costs of transportation.
 "The route to the Portland canal at it's apex is thousand feet lower than the Yellow Head Pass and there are no deep rock canyons to be negoti- ated between the Saskatch- wan and Portland Canal.
 From Saskatchewan to Port land Canal stretches the most productive mineral and agri- cultural potential empire in North America.
 "That Portland Canal line will tap bigger and vastly bet ter agriculture, coal, metal, mineral and water power re- sources than the Maritimes, New England and New York possess.
 "Three hundred miles East of Portland Canal are immense deposits of the highest grade smokeless coal ever yet mined or discovered. It contains but 29o ash, 15R moisture with 76eo carbon.

MANN PREDICTS GREAT FUTURE FOR PEACE
 STEWART R.R. LIN

9 T Aa w &AAN AAsANe AAAANAa I Editorial note:- The follow ing interview with Sir Donald Mann sets forth with remark l able clarity the tremendous de- velopment possibilities of the proposed Peace River-Stew- art railroad, as seen by Can- ada's famous Empire build- er," and the man whose far seeing vision first discerned Ethe feasibility and value of such a route to Canada and the United States. As the original exponent of the proposal his views on the subject possess an unusual valve and should provide a strong urge toward it's early realization. The art icle is reprinted through the courtesy of the Portland Canal News.
 Winnipeg, August, 1927. Discussing the business out look few days ago, Sir Don aid Mann expressed the belief that Canada was on the thres- hold of an era of unparalleled progress and prosperity.
 Sir Donald being one of the Empire builders who rocked the cradle of the Dominion in it's infancy and who has done as much and, some say more, than any other to make Can ada what it is and what it is to be, ought to have a clearer vision of his country's future than most others.
 ''In the winter of 1879" said Sir Donald, T hewed the tim bers in the primeval forest to build the first railroad bridge in western Canada between the Great Lakes and the Pa- cific.
 '"The bridge was built on the ice over the Red River and I watched with much misgiving the first locomotive go over the bridge. There was not another bridge between the Red River and the Rockies over which a team of oxen or horses could then cross in safety.
 "The Canadian Prairies were then a trackless waste over which millions of buffalo rang ed. A few scattered tribes of Red Men, some French Can- adian trappers, missionaries and Hudson's Bay trading posts were all there were from Winnipeg to the snowy peaks of the Rockies.
 India, Australia, Argentine, Russia and the United States supplied all the worlds wheat exports at that time. Last year Canada provided more than half the wheat exports of the world.
 'tIt is worth remembering that had not the Canadian Prairies been gridironed with railways during the generation before the Great War the Allies would have been starved into submission before America could have come to their aid.
 "Men are but links in the chain of human destiny. It is not what has been done, but what remains to do which counts.

SOCIAL WORKERS FOR DRY LAW
Social Workers from Every State in
Union Take Poll on Dry Law;
Vote 9 to 1 in Favor

Social workers assembled at Des
Moines recently for the National Confer
ence OF Social Work, voted nearly nine to
one in favor OF prohibition in an unofficial
ballot taken among 442 men and women
who are actively engaged in social work
in the United States.
The poll showed that 33S workers be-
lieve that drinking has been reduced un-
der prohibition, while only 43 declared
that it has increased. These representa-
tives from every state in the Union de-
e1ared that drinking has been reduced
699o since the advent of prohibition.
That prohibition has had a beneficial
effect on the nation was upheld by $50
workers, and denied by only AZ. Only q
workers favored repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment while 355 were against re-
peal. 294 workers stated that stricter en-
forcement was necessary with So denying
this assertion. In answer to the question
relative to higher alcoholic content in
liquors, 334 opposed increasing the per-
centage, and 81 favored the change.
A staunch supporter of the cause of
prohibition, Miss Jane Adams, of "Hull
House" Chicago, in an address before the
conference declared the liquor problem as
it exists in large cities of the United
States today is serious. but she does not
believe there is likelihood of rejection of
the Eighteenth Amendment
Miss Adams decried the attempts of
the vets to prove that through prohibi
ton the youth of today are headed in the
wrong direction, stating that there are
some bad phases of what is known as
modern freedom, but the young people
will learn % discard what proves to be UNI
wholesome, including drinking, smoking,
and other forms of dissipation"

pointment of prohibition agents out of
politics, so far as it can be done.
2. Prohibition agents are to be chosen
for their qualifications for the work rath-
er than their political usefulness to some
politician.
3. Efficient or corrupt agents can not
SO easily be retained in office by political
leaders.
a. Many agents now hesitate to enforce
the law aggressively because they know if
they reach certain violators with large
political influence it may mean their dis
mssal. Civil Service should give them
the largest amount of personal security in
the performance of their duty.
s. Civil Service should provide corps
of officers whose selection is based on
fitness established by examination rather
than upon political favor.
6. Civil Service will introduce the merit
system which favors the promotion OF
efficient men and the elimination OF the
incompetent or unsatisfactory.
7. 1t will also provide an experienced
personnel, since the good men will be re-
tanned and protected.

UPHOLDS BOAT SEIZURE
Supreme Court Upholds Seizure of
Rum Boat Beyond the Twelve
Mile Limit

The Sufrem Court of the United
States on May 81 upheld the coast guard
i'll seizure of two vessels as rum runners
beyond the twelve-mie limit, but refused
to pass upon the constitutionality Of the
British rum treaty which had been at
tackled on the ground that it was working
to the detriment Of American shipping.
The seizure cases were instituted by
Arthur Maui OF Connecticut and James
n. Lee of Massachusetts, and involved
respectively the vessel Underwater, taken
"a miles off the coast, and a small boat
captured "a miles off Boston Light In
sustaining the seizure and forfeiture of
the Underwater the court declared that
the coast guard had authority to take any
vessel liable to seizure by virtue of any
law respecting revenue and asserted that
the authority could be exercised outside
as we'll as within respective districts.
1t bases its decision in the Lee case
upon its findings in the Underwater case.
The British rum treaty was attacked
by the Neptune Association of Masters
and Mates, and others, who contended
that it violated the prohibition amend
ment by permitting British vessels to
bring Intoxicating liquor into American
ports in sealed stores for use on outward
voyages or for trans-shipment in bond
through the United States. 1t was con-
tended that this operated to the detri-
ment of American vessels which were
prohibited from having Intoxicating liq-
uor on board.

COMMISSIONER DORIAN
Has Made Record in Service of Gov
eminent in Increasing Industrial
Alcohol Production

DIR. James M. Doran, the new federal
prohibition commissioner, is physically
small, red-headed and shy. He will do
little proclaiming from the housetops.
However, in the parlance of the streets,
"he knows his onions"
He is chemist and as such has been in
the government service for many years.
For several years he has given much of
his time to increasing the manufacture of
alcohol for industrial use. Due at least in
part 10 his efforts more than 200,000000
gallons of industrial proof alcohol were
manufactured in the United States during
the last fiscal year. This is a world rec
ord production.
While the Eighteenth Amendment pro-
vides that beverage use of alcohol shall
be prohibited industrial use is encouraged
During the early years of prohibition the
industrial side of the problem received lit
tie attention. Now it is growing by leaps
and bounds as industry is going ahead by
leaps and bounds. Mr. Doran points out
that industrial alcohol has grown increas-
inly important, and that he will continue
to give it attention. He believes that SCI
ence will play more and more a part in
prohibition enforcement.
Government chemists are striving to
find denaturants which VIII be proof
against any attempt to make industrial
alcohol drinkable, but these denaturants
must be Of a nature that will not harass
and impede industrial use of alcohol. On
the other hand, bootleggers strive to turn
the booming industrial program to their
advantage

pictures Bootleg Whisky on the throne,

The editor says that this is an accurate

By United Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. g.
A trainful of beauties arrived in At
lantic City today and whistles blew
and bells rang.
Then 1o3 pretty girls, seeking the
title of Miss America" alighted at
the railway station, repaired to the
adjacent plaza and watched Norma
D. Smallwood of Tulsa, Okla, the
1926 winner, fire a cannon which
officially opened the pageant.
From the station the conte- tants
and the twenty-nine guests of hon
or, including Miss Smallwood and
Princess America I, an Indian girl,
passed between lines of cheering
spectators to the city hall and re-
ceived golden key to the city from
Mayor Anthony Ruffu.,
The girls then went to their ho-
tells. Each candidate for beauty
honors was assigned a car and a
young man escort for the week.
The journey of the American
Beauty Special from Philadelphia
was without incident. Samuel D.
Leeos, millionaire hotel owner, gaily
attired in overalls, visored cap and
goggles, served as honorary engineer
of the special and rode in the cab.

SHARP DECLINE
HITS TRADE IN
Grain AT CHI
Corn Leads, Falling Nearly
3 Cents; Wheat Off
More Than Point.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Early prices
in grain futures here today were
sharply lower, with wheat opening
to IL cents lower than Satur-
days close; corn, Ia to az cents
of and oats Is to % cents lower.
Lower Liverpool cables than had
been expected were a depressing
factor here.
Weather throughout the United
States and Canadian wheat regions
was excellent over the weekend and
harvest in Canada is now general.
Good export business to bolster
prices is badly needed. Large re-
ceipts of new grain in the North
western markets are expected to
create considerable hedging pres
sure.
The backward corn crop contin-
ued to make progress with week end
temperatures high and the weather
fair. Rains fell in parts Of Iowa,
however. General feeling remained
bearish.
While the technical position Of
the oats pit is strong due to poor
harvest and good cash business,
prices in this market were not ex-
pected to show enough individual
strength to create a trend of their
own.
Provisions opened unchanged.

NEGLECTFUL IN
AIDING TEACHER
Education Head Declares
Indiana Must Awaken
on School Training.

Making the plea that Indiana,
which he asserted was "far behind
many other States of the Union iiA
this respect" make better and wider
provision for training of her teach
ers, John j. Tigert, United States
commissioner of education, adj
dressed the annual city institute for
public school teachers which opened
at Caleb Mills Hall today with a
record attendance of more than
LOO teachers.
1T is almost unbelievable that In
diana, so highly developed in mat
tiers educational along almost all
other lines, should be SO neglectful
of the fact that her teachers train
ing is not keeping pace with the
demands Of the day." Tigert said.
'"The next few years will witness
a great upheaval in the methods Of
dealing with the training of teach
ers. Indiana, unless she wakes up,
is going to find herself in a pecu-
liarly anomalous position" he de.
clared. a
Anywhere in the country, atty
educational gatherings, there are
always to be found highly alert, in
telligent Indianans. This subject
the inadequate provision for
teacher Trainings the only 'one
that seems to have been overlooked
thoroughly. 1t is absolutely necessary
that this be repaired before long"
He then asked teachers who had
been trained in other places besides
Indiana to raise their hands, and a
large portion of the audience re-
sponded.
