Backed by capital totalling over 45,000,000, and with almost unlimited resources on which to draw, Mr, J. M./King, an English promoter and capitalist, who has been interested in railroads for the past ten or twelve years, and who has built roads through East Africa, India and Somalicland, is in the city to investigate conditions which it will be-necessary to meet in the construction of a fourth trans- continental railroad. The London and Dominion Trust company, of which Mr. King is president, has al- ready investigated the requirements of the country through , which the lat the same time. Edmonton to Fort McMurray, Provi lengineers estimate the difficulties which will be experienced. The armouncement of the constrac- tion of the new road was made . by Mr. King yesterday. Work will be started on it this summer and rnsh- led forward with all possible speed. Mr. -King, accompanied by Mr. Wil- iams, the engineer who will be in charge of the construction of the line, will leave for the north in a few days to learn at first hand the nature of the country in the Peace River district. Unlike the transcontinentals which have already been built, the new road, according to Mr. King, willbe started in the middle of the contin- ent and built eastward and westward Fort McMurray will be the starting point of the main. line aglgpough the first work will be done a branch line from the main purpose of which will be to bring the building materials to the scene of operations. Westward the line will be built as far as Peace River ing. years. EastWifd the line will run to a point on Hudson's Bay and later from thence to the Atlantic ocean. ion for numerous extensions are made in the Dominion charter shich the company holds. The work which is planned so far is only the 1,500 miles stretch from Peace River Crossing to Hudson's Bay, and the branch line from Ed- monton to Fort McMurray. It totals 1,500 miles of road at an average total ctimated cost of 33,000,000. The terminus on Hudson's Bay has not been decided, but the company is prepared to spend four pounds sterling ie-making 1 Pacific two of the best har- bors in the world When the road from Peace River to that point is completed it is the in- tention of the company to organize fleet of steaimers of their own ply- ing betwee the terminus of their road and European points. Surveys of the country through which the road will run, have al- ready been made and it is estimated by the promoter that at the outside the work will be finished inside four yeurs. Mr. King is of the opinion that the difffeulties of railroad con- struction in the north country have Deen greatly exaggeral os don and Dominion Trust company, he says, has sufficient resources to make any guarantee from the govern- ment unnecessary and they do not ins tend to ask any. The road and steamship line will be built entirely on their, own bonds. The company realizes that the suc- cess of the road which they intend to build depends entirely on the de- velopment of the country through which they propose to run and that the faster that country-is developed the sooner their road will pay divi- dends. Realizing this they have al- ready made preparationd to carry out, a large colonization scheme which they hope will result in the opening up of hundreds of thousands of acres of new lands. Settlers will be brought to this country, particularly to Alberta, within the next year and placed on farms and given every as- sistance to make good on the land. The work of construction will be carried out by Mr. J. Williams, an engineer of international reputation. He has, looked after the construction work of nearly all the roads in the eastern continents which have been built by Mr.,King. Mr. Williams is in the city with Mr. Kingt They will leave for the north coun- try within the next few days to take ja look over Peace. River country. Mr. King did not state what the ex- act purpose of the present trip was, but intimated that it was in connec- tion with the colonization scheme. Next week two parties of engineer will be sent out along the proposed line of the road to start the final survey. A preliminary suryey has alt ready been made. Construction work will follow close on the heels of the final survey. The line from Edmonton to Fort McMurray will follow closely. the sur vey for the Alijerta and Great Water- ways line. That the road from Fort McMurray to Peace River Crossing will be the most difficult portion of the work Mr. King anticipates. Al- ly and rougher, the making of a road-bed will be easier there than in the western portion of the line. Ihave built a line through the Pyrenees, said Mr. King; and this country is much better suited to rail- road construction than that. We in- tend to introduce some of the meth- ods we used in the eastern contin- ents.and they will certainly be a departure from anything ever seen in railroad, construction on this eontin- cost of 22,000 per mile, making a proposed line will run and has had a a se the machinery the goods.

The scheme, colossal in its outline, as it is, bears the imprint of a Cecil Rhodes, and according to Mr. King, has men of the calibre of Cecil Rhodes behin) it. The company has sufficient baching behind it to ensure suce ss even though a few years after completion shuld be required ta ever, that it will pay right from the start.

E PROPERLY ADJUSTED MOTOR CAR BRAKES It is most important that the brakes on the two rear wheels of a motor car operate together. When one wheel stops- more quickly than the. other or holds more. tightly the tire on that wheel will be quickly worn out. iz t This shovld be borne in mind -by every motor car owner. In buying a and they should have constant atten- tion when the car is in use. It 8 not difficult to see if the brakes do not work properly, and if they do not it is an easy matter to put them right. And trifling though it may-seem, al tention jn this matter will be the means of saving a lot of money in tire cost. The Goodyear Tire Co. say that it is a remarkable thing how many tires are worn out as a result of faulty working brakes, Subscribe now for The Dally News.

C. Alcher, Superintendent of Aberdeen Experimental Station. Aberdeen, Idaho, June 4 One of the most successful moveable schools held in Idaho during the year was the one at Aberdeen, the seat of the experiment station. Aberdeen ig orated in one of the best farming areas in Maho, being situated in the upper Snake, river valley. About four-fifths of all the Tow tu the district are trom the East and Idaho methods of far- ming consequently are new to-them. gt;, these eastern farmers, and as a rule Dry-farming and irrigation farming methods are comparatively new to they hunger for real practical know- ledge that will benefit them in their labors. This, no doubt, accounts for the success of the Aberdeen Moveable School. The people were deeply in- torested in every talk made, and a great many pertinent questions were asked. The school had from 100 to 200 in constant attendance, with a maximum of 250 people at the even- ing lectures. While a great deal of the time was given to irrigation farming, never- theless the dry-farmers received ab- ter This included lectures on. the various *Y phases of the dairy industry, selec- tion and care of draft horses, pork Production, potato growing, alfalfa and alfalia seed production, flax eul- ture, and grain production. As a result of this Moveable School Aberdeon is this year to begin an in- dustry which, if successful, will prove for the SALVED LARGE PART OF ARMERIA S CARGO Revenue Cutter Manning * Saved henses and Car- boys from Wrecked Ten.. der. 5 Aordova, June 4.

A carload of Gree- ly seed potatoes was shipped here for the express: purpose of experimenta tion to see if suitable seed could be grown on the dry lands of Idaho for this great potato district of Color- ado. The superintendent of the Atferdeen Experiment Station took charge of the distribution of the seed, and will Visit the various fields during the season. To prevent infection: should the potatoes carry any harmful skin disease, all this seed was treated to a solution of formalin. Another feature of the school work for the week was the domestic science section given for the benefit of the farmers wives. Classes were held daily for a week. The attend- ance showed that there was a decid- ed interest manifested in all things pertaining to domestic economy.
