DEATH OF 10 IN
WORST CANADA
WRECK PROBED
Cause of Head Crash of
Trains Sought by
Authorities.
BIZ United Press


TORONTO, Ont, March 21.-
Canada's worst train wreck in near
ly twenty years was under in
vestigation today as officials sought
the cause of a head-on collision
which took the lives of at least
nineteen persons, many of them
colonists setting out with high hopes
for a new career in the west.
Six cars and an engine we're
hurled from the track as two crack
passenger trains, running between
Toronto and Winnipeg, crashed TO-
gether in the darkness early Wednes-
day.
The first stages of the investiga-
ton indicated that one of the
engineers had run past an ordered
stop at Dorcourt, near Parry Sound
in the Georgian bay country.
Burned to Death
Most of the dead were inmi-
grants, travelling in a colonlst car
Immediately behind the engine of
Vic WCObDOu1Id u c1L1s
A dozen or more were killed out
right or pinned in the wreckage and
burned to death.
The car was of steel but lined
with wood because of climatic con-
ditionS.
A coal stove, about which the
colonists warmed themselves or pre-
pared their meals as they journeyed
toward the land they expected to
settle, overturned and started the
fire.
One of the passengers from the
eaStbound train said that ne be-
lieved only six of the occupants of
the colonist car escaped with their
lives.
Horror Scenes Described
Identification of the dead will be
difficult because the colonists were
recruited from all parts of the
world.
Heart-rending stories of the dis
aster were told by those who es-
capped.
zone woman kept screaming until
she was burned to DEATH" said j. E.
Harcourt. 81 saw several skulls and
human bones burning"
Several children were believed
among the dead.
The injured were being cared for

Red Indians Made Use
of Reed to Decoy Ducks

Before Columbus ever sighted the
West Indies the natives of Amer.
lea were decOying the ducks and
geese to the lakes and ponds where
they became targets for swift, flint
beaded arrows. Joel Barber gives
a brief account of the history of
duck decoys in Field and Stream.
He reveals that the first dummy
ducks were made of reeds cleverly
tied together in the shape of a
duck. These reed models were then
neatly shingled with feathers of
the fowl in such manner that they
oddly duplicated the living bird. On
the floor of dried lake he'd in Nevada
near caves where specimens of the
reed decoys were found many flint
arrowheads have been discovered.
This points to an extended practice
of duck hunting by decoys years be.
fore Columbus ever sailed the ocean
blue. declares this Field and Stream
writer.

ity companies which paid a gross
earnings tax were exempt from the
motor vehicle tax. Some miscel-
laneous receipts such as duplicate
tags, reciprocity permits, chauf-
feur's licenses, go 10 the general

Northern Pacific Has Big
Project for Coal Mining
Montana Field, Owned by Com
pany, will be Opened at cost
of $1,50O,0O0

st. Paul, Feb. 14.-The North
ern Pacific Railway today closed a
contract for operating it's Colstrip,
Mont, coal mining properties which
involves handling 100000 tons
of coal and earth.
The equipment alone for this
contract will cost more than ST.
100000. Material for two shovels,
which will be assembled and erect
ed in the field, will require in
transportation ala entire freight
train of more than 60 cars.
The new contract, which the
Northern Pacific awarded to Foley
Brothers, Inc, of st. Paul, Mimi,
according to Charles Donnelly,
president of the railway company,
covers the operation, for period
of about 10 years, of the company's
coal mining properties at Colstrip,
known as the Rosebud field.
The mining operation is con-
Quoted by the open-pit method.
The earth or overburden first is
stripped off to the top of the coal
seam and the coal then loaded di-
rectly from the seam into the
cars. The vein is about 27 feet in
thickness and the overburden va
ries from 10 to so feet in depth.
Twenty million cubic yards of
overburden is to be removed under
the terms of the contract, which
also calls for the loading of APP
proximately 100000 tons of
coal. The pit is 900 feet wide and
more than two and one-half miles
long. The vast quantities of
earth and coal, to be removed I'M
der the contract, are declared to
be equivalent to the grading of
! 600 miles of single track railroad.
AN electrically operated, strip
ping and loading equipment at Col
strip is the largest of it's kind.
Three large shovels now are in OPP
Grafton in the field and Foley
Brothers have placed an order for
an additional stripping shovel and
an additional loading shovel. The
new stripping shovel will be equip
pei with boom 100 feet long and
will have a dipper of 10 cubic
yard capacity. The dipper of the
coal loading shovel will handle nine
tons of coal at each swing, and will
have capacity of loading about
5000 tons of coal in a 1O-hour
day. With one sweep this dipper
will extract enough coal for a
normal family's years supply. In
10 hours it will take out and load
on car enough coal to supply $50
families with coal to provide house
hold warmth for a year in low
temperature zones. Ready for op-
Grafton, the stripping shovel will
weigh more than 1000 tons, or
considerably more than the weight
of the Northern Pacifc's giant new
experimental freight locomotive,
which is the largest steam locomo-
tive yet constructed.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1929-02-14

The Colstrip field was opened
five years ago and has been con-
tinuously operated by Foley Broth
ers under contract which Just has
expired. In the five-year period
the use of this coal has increased
gradually along the lines of the
Northern Pacific until now more
than 100000 tons year or
nearly half of the locomotive coal
for the entire system is supplied
fror, Colstrip. 1t is being used on
the main line and most of the
branches between Dilworth, Mimi,
and Spokane, Wash, distance of
about 1880 miles.
The Rosebud coal field, which is
located about 80 miles south of
Forsyth, Mont, is one of the largest
known deposits of coalin the
world. The vein has been traced
from the pits at Colstrip south in
to Wyoming, covering an area of
more than 700 square miles. The
estimated total tonnage runs well
into the billions.

Fewer "A" More t'B"
Autos Have Been Listed
Better Cars Bring Trunk Road
Fund Less Income-License
Costs Less

There were fewer GA" cars in
Minnesota in 1928 than in 1927,
and a substantial increase in "B"
cars. The ga" cars are those
which pay the minimum $40 Ii
cense fee and the "B" cars all take
a higher rate. The basic rate, "a
per cent of list price, was the same
in both years. One would natural
ly conclude that with more "B"
cars there would be lot more in
come for the trunk highway fund.
Which shows that hasty conclus-
ions are sometimes wrong.
In 1927 there were 265, 457 GA"
cars and 299,560 "B" cars. They
brought $8,003, 4O0.26. In 1928
the number of "a" cars dropped to
