Thinks Mines in Newer Sections as Good as Those in Northern Quebec Back from a survey of northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan mineral areas and starting to draft new regulations governing them, Charles Ross, chief engineer of the mineral lands branch of the Interior Department, 'is very optimistic about the outlook. "It is just the same formation in northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan," he said today, "that they have in Northern Ontario and Quebec. It runs right along those northern areas and there is no reason to suppose that the deposits in new fields are any less numerous or less rich than the older ones. It is only a matter of finding Of those mines already located Mr. Ross speaks hopefully.

He will draft new regulations for quartz mining and of a character calready for a be contingent upon the approval of the culated to stimulate, prospecting and production.

The Late Alexander Smith An Appreciation A man of sterling worth went to his reward this morning in the passing of Alexander Smith, well-known Ottawa barrister. Few people had a wider acquaintance throughout Canada. Former newspaper man, one time secretary or general organizer of the Liberal Party, and, in later years, prominent at the bar, Mr.

had travelled all over the country, meeting people, talking to them, eliciting their views, winning their friendship. Someone said of him that he was "great listener." He invited and absorbed the opinions of others without giving any especial indication of his own. He was also known to some as "Silent" Smith because of his quiet manner, his aversion to heated argument and his tendency at times to say nothing at all. He used to get engrossed in thought with little attention to what was going on about him. (Continued on Page 7, Col.

King as Fitting Procedure Belief Held in Political Circles Here That Propos- al Will Be Accepted. Although he has not officially accepted, it is expected here that Sir Lomer Gouin will respond to the offer of the lieutenant governorship of Quebec when it becomes vacant next January on the expiration of the term of Governor Perodeau. Many months ago, the prime minister wrote a letter to the erstwhile minister of justice, expressing the view that he should round off his career by accepting the lieutenant governorship of the province. Sir Lomer's name at the time was much more associated with a vacant senatorship and it is believed also that that would be more to his liking. He has not formally accepted the governorship and there is no immediate hurry, but it is believed here, on the strength of personal advices, that he will do so.

While the term of a lieutenant governor is for five years, the usage is that he shall hold office till his successor is appointed and if no one is named, he carries on indefinitely. There is such a position in New Brunswick where Governor Todd's term expired months ago but he is still in the position. It is understood that the renewal of the term of Governor Newlands of Saskatchewan was with the knowledge that he will retire and revert to his judicial pension whenever the present government desires. This is a position to which some of the political pickers assign Hon. W.

R. Motherwell, but not with Mr. Motherwell's consent. His clear desire is to stay where he is. Extend Welcome to U.S.

Highways Officials H. K. Carruthers to Meet Them at Prescott Mr. John Sears, departmental engineer for the Ontario Department of Highways, with Mr. H.

K. Carruthers, secretary of the Ottawa Board of Trade and Ottawa Motor Club, left this morning for Prescott, where on behalf of the Capital they will extend a welcome to Highways Commissioner Arthur Brandt, 'Assistant Commissioner Noonan and eighteen officials of the New York state highways department. The American highway officials are on a tour of inspection of roads in Eastern Ontario and Quebec. Through the courtesy of the Prescott Ferry Company the visitors will be their guests in the trip across the St. Lawrence, and arriving at Prescott at 1.30 will motor in to Ottawa, reaching here at 4.30.

Through the courtesy of Hon. Thos. Ahearn, P.C., chairman of the Federal District Commission, the visitors after a short tour of the city will be taken over the new Champlain bridge at Remic Rapids. This evening the visitors will be the guests of Ottawa Business Men's Association at their banquet at Chateau and they will leave in the morning for Montreal and Quebec City. During the night the store of Morris Cooper, 422 Arlington avenue, was entered and about $15 worth of cigarets were stolen.

Entrance was made with a key. Ontario Facing Heavy Decrease In Its Revenue In Charge of Church MR. ARTHUR BROOKS, who is occupying the pulpit of St. David's Reformed Episcopal church, New Edinburgh. Power Route at Val Tetreau is Finally Passed Slight Change in Plan Will Take Line Further Away from Church and School.

Gatineau Company Is Eager to Go Ahead Delivery to Ontario Hydro Has Been Held Up Since Oct. 1. The Board of Railway Commissioners has announced that the proposed route of the Gatineau Transmission Company's high tension line from the Val Tetreau sub-station to Remic Rapids, by which the Gatineau Power Company will deliver Ottawa and Eastern Ontario cities, has been approved -with certain modifications. These consist of a slight change in the route to be followed by the 000 volt line, which will take it farther away from the lot on which is the church and school, on the opposite side of Begin street. The modified route has also received the approval Val Tetreau citizens, the Hull Roman Catholic school board and parish priest of Val Tetreau.

"We have not yet received the order of the Railway Board," said Mr. Gordon Gale, general manager and vice-president of the Gatineau Power Company, "but as soon as we do we shall lose no time in run, ning the line so as to deliver power as per our contract to the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission, which has been held up since the first of the month." Mr. Gale stated that before the line can be constructed his company has, through the Hull Superior Court, to obtain possession, or a of way through certain properties along the route of the transmission line. Parliamentary 'Guide' Carries Liquor Ads. Is Contrary to Ontario Control Act.

Canadian Press Despatch. Oct. of liquor advertisements in the Canadian Parliamentary Guide, whose circulation is practically confined to members of parliament and the provincial legislatures, is contrary to the Ontario Liquor Act which forbids such advertising, Sir Henry Drayton, chairman of the Ontario Liquor Control Board has ruled. The "Guide" is published in Ottawa. Beyond reprimanding those breweries which inserted advertisements, Sir Henry said there was no action he could take.

He will also communicate with Major A. L. Normandin, the editor, advising him that liquor advertisements should be refused in future volumes.

Only High Liquor Sales Can Save Deficit. Expenditures Higher in the Current Year Lands and Forests Will Also Bring in Greatly Lowered Receipts. Special to The Evening Citizen, TORONTO, Oct.

portion of the revenue to be obtained this year through the sale of liquor under the Liquor Control Act will go to balance the expected big shrinkage in the succession duty taxes. Last year revenue from succession duties amounted to over $5,000,000, while this year, according to advance information, the revenue from this source will be somewhat lower than $3,000,000. Thus the government faces a substantial decrease in revenue from one source alone. As the end of the fiscal year draws closer it becomes more and more evident worth that of only liquor the has sale saved of $8,000,000 ernment from facing a deficit on the year's expenditure. Not only have succession duties shown a considerable falling-off, but it is reported that other sub-departments all show a similar state of affairs.

Lands and Forests Department, usually a big producer in revenue and which turned in $3,500,000 in "ordinary" receipts last year, is expected to show revenue amounting to only about $2,000,000 this year. This follows the decision of the government to cut down the sale of timber unless its disposal was essential in keeping the mills open and the men employed. Expenditures Are Higher. On the other hand, the expenditures has jumped. Last year the Government spent $4,200,000 on the highway account alone.

This year, according to unofficial estimates, the expenditure will be closer to $6,000,000. It is as a result of this tremendous expenditure that motorists will have to pay five cents per gallon tax on their gasoline next year, Law enforcement, which is always a big drain on the Government coffers, is expected to be higher than ever this year. Those who claim to be in close touch with the situation contend that only the sale of liquor has saved the day for the Government and made a surplus possible for this year. Over $500,000 expenditure, the cost of the last provincial election, which was included in last year's accounts, will be saved this year and go towards the building of the account on the right side of the books.

Report Advises Drastic Changes In Mining Laws Godson Findings on Hol. linger Mine Tragedy Are Issued Today in Toronto.

"That the words 'above ground' in the first line, section 161, sub-section 11, of the Mining Act be deleted and the section read as follows: building for thawing explosives shall be maintained in connection with any mine except with the written permission of the inspector of mines. The site of this building and the style of structure and equipment shall be subject to the approval of the inspector.

The building shall be under the direction of the manager or some person authorized by him. The quantity of explosives brought into any thawing house at any one time shall not exceed the requirements of the mine for a period of twenty-four hours plus the amount that it may be necessary to have thawing to maintain that "That all inflammable waste or rubbish should be taken to the surface.

M'Donald Flying Alone in A "Gypsy Moth" Young Officer Takes Off from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, on Attempt to Fly Ocean. Arrived from Abroad on September 26 Last And Has Been Engaged in Testing Plane and Waiting Favorable Weather. ST. JOHN'S, Oct. perfect weather and a slight northwest breeze, Commander H.

C. MacDonald in his Gypsy moth plane, hopped off from Harbor Grace airport at 1.21 this afternoon on what is presumed to be an attempt at a solo flight across the Atlantic. The plane easily arose from the airport and after circling round disappeared eastward. Commander MacDonald has been held nere ever since September 26th owing to continual bad weather, this being the first possible opportunity to make a start. MacDonald stated that the flight was only a five hours duration test but he has taken a full load of fuel and all other paraphernalia for an ocean flight.

Flight Commander H. C. MacDonald arrived from England with his Haviland Gypsy moth plane on Sept. 26, with the announced intention of attempting a transatlantic flight from Harbor Grace. Four days ago he said he would take off on Oct.

20 if, weather conditions permitted. He made a series of test flights shortly after his arrival by steamer. MacDonald, who is 28 years old, came to Newfoundland about three weeks ago and began assembling his plane in preparation for the attempt. Although he said he had had only 80 hours of flying he was confident that he could make the flight alone in the small plane. Since his arrival here the young English flyer has been awaiting favorable weather conditions.

He had declared that he would not take off until he had a "hunch" that everything was right. MacDonald said that the flight was being financed privately. He was assisted in preparing for the flight by A. F. Williams, a mechanic who accompanied him from England.

Is a Midget Machine. The plane which he used his flight WAS but a midget compared to Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis." Known as an aerial sports car, the Gypsy moth had been secretly preparing at the Stag Lane airdrome in London for many weeks for the flight. It has a wing spread of only 26 feet and when emptied weighs less than 800 pounds. Extra fuel tanks were filled to the plane, giving it a range of about 35.

hours, sufficient for 3,600 miles cruising. The engine has only 80 to 100 horsepower, compared with Lindbergh's 250. It is. a four cylinder air-cooled motor. Tests have shown that it can run without trouble for periods of 24 hours and more.

The Gypsy moth is the plane in which W. L. Hope won the last King's cup for a race around England and is the craft taken by Captain G. De Havilland on an altitude record-breaking flight for two-seater light biplanes. The plane is too small for wireless in addition to its other load and floats would be useless to keep so tiny a machine afloat on the Atlantic rollers.

Commander McDonald is comparatively a novice at piloting, although he is a skilled navigator. Yet after only eight hours solo flying he took a plane on a long successful flight through Europe. Atlantic Is Rough HALIFAX, N.S., Oct. rough weather from Vigo to the Banks, during which time she was under greatly reduced speed for over thirty hours, the French line steamer La Bourdonnais arrived here today from Bordeaux. She landed ninetyone passengers and eighteen tons of cargo, later sailing for New York.
