SECOND SECTION Alberta to Move for Highway Grant of 40,000,000 MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS WILL PRESIDE Hon. O. L. McPherson Leaves Phursda: Conventica Hon. 0. L. McPherson, min- ister of public works, is leav- ing on Thursday for Char- lottetown where he will pre- side over the annual conven- tion of the Canadian Good Roads Association which will be held Sept. 17, 18 and 19. The minister is president of the organization. A heavy agenda awaits the convention, including several matters of vital concern to the entire dominion. Large Item Probably the largest ttem, in a fin anclal way at least, will be the dis- cussion on the matter of a continua tion of Dominion ald to. highways This matter 1s being pressed by the Alberta branch of the organization and has trcelved the support of the Sunshine Trail convention and other organizations. The old Dominion highway grant of 20,000,000 has been spent long since and it ts the hope ot the delegates that the Dominion will appropriate a further 40,000,000 for to provincial highways, Another vital matter willbe the discussion on level crossings. The delegates. will: press for an inicrease in the annual grant of 200,000 voted by the dominion to care for the all- smportant. matter of level crossings. This vote was not used -much in past years and a large surplus was built up. During the last year or two heavy de- mands have been made on the sur- plus, which 1s now practically wiped Out and the annual appropriation 1s not considered heavy enough to. meet all immediate demands. No stipu- lated amount will be asked for, but tt will be an amount to be decided on by those jn charge. + All-Canadian Road The question of a. Dominion-wide highway also will come up for dis- sion, although this ts a scheme the realization of which 1s bound to bevat least several years in the future Hon, Mr, McPherson will be away from two to three wecks, Hon. H. A, McKeown, chatrman of the Board of Railway Commissioners, sill attend as will Hon, Frank Oliver. Advisory officer to the board, both of whom are reported to favor the in- creased grant for level crossings.

Nasichuk. Only good worl by flremen from No. 1 and 2. stations Saved, several adjoining houses. The alarm was turned in at. 4:20 .2.m: and, arriving on the scene, flre- men were forced to combat the flames with chemicals as the only water avatlable in the vieinity was in an old well. The fire was discovered by Mrs, Nasichuck, who awakened her brother, and they managed to make their way out of the house without difficulty, A gramophone, two chairs and a cheat were the only pleces of household Boods saved. The house s owned by William Dut- chak, who is at present at Saunders Creek.

Trappers, like Mfcboatmen, have to work in all weathers, Even when there is a bilszard on the way, Mr, Leayitt urs on his snow shoes, harnesses his wusiles and sets forth on his long trap line, What's a little snow when there might be a silver fox in one of the traps was his blunt commenf. The life in the far north would not sult everyone, he said. The only visit ors ever seen are occasional wander- ing families of Esiimos, and not even these come in. winter.

L. Rutherford, of Alta. University, Talks of North s Problems Feasibility of drilling for water and collection of data on drilling depths 11 the Peace River territory are. t questions now being investigated by Dr. R. L, Rutherford, professor of Beology at the University of Alberta, Dr. Rutherford s investigation: ts be- ing carried on under the auspices of the Alberta Industrial Research Coun- cil and in those districte where tt has been found difficult ic obtain a supply of ground water for domestic pur- poses, such as Spirit River, Waterhole and Falher. Requests have been made on several occasions by residents and organisa tlons of the north country and after some discussion on the question in the legislature at. ts last session, it was decided to have. an extensive sur- vey: made during. this. year, Water Problems Speaking on the subject of why some districts had no water. prob- lems and others encountered difficulty in striking good water, Dr. Ruther- ford stated that the reason for poor water In some sections of the Peace River and good water in others wa. obvious to him who examined the-na- ture of the underlying bedrock. The whole area 1x underlain by a series of strata which give a dip to the south or southwest, This series of strata consists of two types, namely, those deposited in salt water and those de- Posited in fresh water. From Peace River town southwest to Grande Prairle the succession of strata includes two formations of salt ter deposition and two-fresh water and in addition, one of the: inter- mediate type, that'ts, deposited along old sea-shores. At Spirit River Districts suffering from bad water conditions are those situated on beds deposited in the sea. At Spirit River, for instance, sea-shells can be col- lected from the strata on top of. tho upland known as Holden Hill. Wells drilled in this district penetrate 1 to old sea beds which, when de contain x comparatively high: per centage of salts of various compos tions, commonly occurring in ocean waters. Similar, conditions exist trom cast to west throughout the area from Spirit River east across the Smoky to the Falher district and north to the Peace river. Glacial Material Similar beds underlie the area on the north side of the Peace from Fairview to Grimshaw. Here there is feature which good water for part of the district, especially from Grimshaw to Whitelaw, in the shape 9f an accumulation.on the surtace of rock of rather large masses of jacial. material carried down during he tee age. This material carri considerable sand and gravel in place And it is from such that the wells obtain their water supply. Dr, Rutherford 1s of the opinion that the best hope of obtaining water in the districts above mentioned 1s by drilling tos lower series of rocks which ogour at depths of 400 to 800 fect, depending on the locality. These beds are of the intermediate type, that 48 deposited along old sea-shores. Dr. Rutherford's tn ted later: to the Council, S.A.
