PHONE Q. 6900 OFF THE RECORD 'V 1W Ift'H Canadian National telegraph poles along the railways' nghta-of-way. Amptior Llfhta Oat, The trouble also brought down two of the main Hydro Electric Commission feeder wires near Cala-' bogie, and for a time the town of Arnprior was In darkness as the power failed. A quick switch over to an auxiliary line, however, restored the service after an interruption of less than an hour and a half. Linemen sleet bad formed on tfieir open lines to a thickness of more than an inch and a half in places, with long icicles hanging down.

A high wind swaying the wires, brought down pole aiter pole over the whole storm area. The repair crews found hanging wires a serious hazard, and in at least one caae three linemen were struck and slight) injured by falling icicles. The danger, it wait believed, would delay repair work all along the line. Officials of the telephone company found the storm had been restricted to a comparatively small area, but, as one line chief said: "It is the most complete mess of wires I have ever At the point where the break occurred poles carry 30 Bell Tele- phone wires, and these, wiUi ice forming on them, crumpled under i the unusually heavy weight. 'Many I rural telephone companies connecting with the Bell system in this 1 region were also put out of com mission, and many of their own lines were down.

The breakage affected communication between Ottawa and Pembroke, but the Upper Ottawa town is also served by long distance telephone lines through North Bay. and contact from Ottawa is" being established via that point and Toronto. Quebec districts reached by telephone via Ontario points in the affected area, were also out of touch with the Capital and the outside world following the break down. Both telegraph companies said last night they had experienced considerable trouble as a result of the sleet storm centring on Am-prior, but had been, able to re-establish communication during the day with most of their stations and offices In the Ottawa Valley. RENFREW.

March 18 (Special) The snow and rain, which turned to sleet and caused a great amount of property loss throughout this district stopped today but the damage to property continued throughout the day. At 11 p.m.. telephone communications were still cut off from the outside world while telegraph lines which were understood to be grounded about two miles east of Renfrew were slowly being repaired and a few lines were through tonight to outside points. Communications of the surrounding district were badljr damaged, and it la believed it will be several days before their lines will be in operation again. Walter Beal and his maintenance crew struggled against tremendous odds to restore power and light to the industrial and domestic services and about 7 -30 tonight a few private residents and places of business received their first light and power while the majority of the homes were without Lights and the streets were In darkness.

Pedestrians aided with flashlights and lanterns picked their steps through the deep slush and water of the streets. Factories dependen on Hydro power, which is generated at Cala-bogie, were forced to switch, on- to municipal power to carry on while the municipal power feeders to the Renfrew Electric and Refrigerator plant were not repaired this Increase of $5,000,000 In Empire Exports An increase of almost 15,000.000, more than 19 was shown in Canada's domestic exports to British Empire countries in February when they were wc-th $29," 814.956 against $34,971,414 in February, 1935, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics reports.
