The use of pulverized for general industrial purposes, including both land and water communications: the adoption of Improved spark arresters on Canadian locomotives, once these are proved practicable, and a systematic consideration for British Columbia coal wherever its use can he economically effected, were pointed to as three means within the power of British Columbia business nnd governmental circles for the relief of the soft coal industry of the province, in n general discussion whicli took place yesterday afternoon. While no direct request was made to Hon. \V. A. McenKzie, who presided at the conference, many delegates pointed to the serious inroads made .;nto the coal industry by crude oil imported duty free, and indicated that Government action to bring the full wegiht of its power behind tbe increased use of the home product would be welcomed. The lightening of the tax and royalty on coal production was directly urged on the Government, as was the use of every means in its power to encourage n wider use of the natural British Columbia product that supplies a livelihood for large numbers of men and their dependents on the coal centres of the province. Miner* Hard Hit The miners' side of the picture was given to the conference by George Pearson, M.P.P., who said 1,(144 coal miners had been displaced in the coalfields of the province since 1920. "What we want now," said Mr. Pearson, "is immediate relief, and the only way this can come for Vancouver Island miners is by securing more coal orders. We feel that the transportation companies have an obligation to perform in regard to the miners, and that this obligation has not been fully met. "The progress of this Island is vital to trail spoliation companies and they are using oil. It is a source of disappointment to Nanaimo to see the growing use of fuel oil ou land and sea. The men have only one weapon, a weapon we propose to use to the limit, and that is the influence we may have with the Government of this country," concluded Mr. Pearson. C. F. Davie, M.P.P., said he endorsed the views expressed by Mr. Pearson in regard to the distress in coal mining areas through the shrinkage of employment. New Spark Arrester W. Ray, inspector of Provincial Government Railways, told of tests he had witnessed with the new Brown-Cyclone spark arrester, to reduce fire hazards in the operation of locomotives with both oil and coal. The tests had shown, he said, that, while certainty had not yet heen demonstrated, the new device was far .in advance of that known as th*; "mechanics' front-end," now in use on Canadian locomotives, and, if applied by the Dominion rail systems, would enable a much larger use of coal with efficiency. The cost of extra fire patrols, and the penalizing costs of fire outbreaks attributed io \he railroads, had in the past encour- ged the use of fuel oil rather than 'al, he declared. "». Z. Coverhill, the chief forester sa. records of his department showed -ot there was one fire for every thrd miles of road on the average w>tn ool-burning systems, and one fire tnWcry ten miles where oil wos in use. }\0 was not prepared to say that peWtion hail been reached in spark aWcrs. The c«t of changing from the present syst» in use of locomotives to the new tvice, If it were proven suitable, uuld be between $200 and $400 earh.tfic conference was told hy Clyde Levitt .in reply to further questions. 1-, Leavitt, chief fire inspector for the Dominion Railway Board, stronty urged the attention of the delejfaW he given to recent tests with thi'new spark arresters. Nine-tenths nf)he fires in coal-bum- ing systems wolld he reduced if the new device wenlapplied, he believed The railway kftrd did not undertake to tell the ompanies what they should use, but lad drawn the attention of both traiscanada systems to the new device sane weeks ago, and the matter was itill under advisement, said Mr. Leavitt. There wns reason to suppose that the new device would also coitain an element of fuel economy, which might serve to popularize coal tor locomotive use. Charles A. Cottrell, of the Cana- adian Pacific Railway, mid that ev ■ cry sympathy was felt for those con sented in the coal industry of the province. The railways, on tbe other hand, bad a duty not bounded by provinces, and, as far as his road was concerned, Island coal could only be used to a point eighty-two miles east of Vancouver, at best, as was being actually done at present. If coal were burned in the mountain division it would have to he bought from Alberta, and each little producing centre depended to some extent on the section of railway nearby for its support. Stocked Up On Coal Last year the Canadian Pacific Railway stocked up with coal in anticipation of a big grain movement. The movement did not take place nnd as a result large coal reserves had been on hand, with consequent reduction in purchases later in the season. There was, he added, every prospect of a good grain crop tliis season, and, just as soon as the crop' was moving the road would be in the market again for coal. Progress along the lines of experimentation • had to be workekd out slowly, hut something would likely be worked out that would be of benefit to the coal situation on the Island, he j thought. Railways Sympathetic .1. M. Cameron of (he Esquimalt I & N'anaimo Railway, said that the road was very sympathetic to the subject under dispute. The Island was different from the Mainland in many respects, aud was a heavily timbered section wiih a long dry season. Conversion from oil to coal burning in locomotion was a costly affair .with bunkers and other facilities that would have to he sup- plied. World Condition Col. T. A. Hiam, representing the Canadian National Railways, said the British Columbia Government was to lie congratulated on having brought about the conference, which offii ials of his road felt would have un immediate effect in the betterment of conditions for the British Columbia coal industry. Conditions facing the industry in this province, he said, were not unique, but were being shared generally throughout the world. Expect Good Crop "Like the Canadian Pacific, we are looking forward to a good grain crop this year." continued Colonel Hiam. "A rough estimate of the crop might be anywhere iu the neighborhood of 41)0.000,00 bushels compared with aboul 200,000,000 bushels last year. We would require for our share in that business, so far as the westward movement is concerned about 15,000 tons of coal, so you see there is some prospect of early relief for the coal mines of this province. "You know the railways are not the only 'bad boys' in this business. There are other bad boys as well, and I am inclined to believe you are expecting too much of the railroads' if you look to them for the solution of all your problems,' 'continued Colonel Hiam. "So far as the Canadian National Railways are concerned, we would be delighted to have representation on any committee that is appointed as a result of this conference to further the use of B.^C. coa!, and to assist in any way that is open to us tho work of that committee," he concluded. Use of Oil Necessary Speaking for the B.C. Coast Service, Capt. C. D. Neroutsos said that service used both coal ami oil. To keep up the requisite speeds demanded by fast passenger schedules oil was necessary, he explained, as the schedules could not be maintained with coal under the present system. The service carried a very large number of people into the province every year and competed with oil burning ships in the movement of tourists through B. C. points to Alaska. That form of competition could not be met with coal, he commented, when other lines were using oM, and the public itself set the demand for fast service schedules. Oil and internal combustion engines were being used all over thc world for shipping nowadays, continued the manager of the B.C. Coast Service. It was physically possible for the service to burn coal in some of its ships, and this matter was being taken under advisement, he add ed, with the hope that something of interest to local producers might be arrived at. For Power Generation Torn Uphill, M.P.P., stressed the point that the increasing use of hydro-electric power was ousting rhe (Continued on Page Four) Bevan Party On Successful Hike A party ol eight comprising thc Misses Isabel and Bessie Watt.

They went in by Dove Creek and spent four dnys. They Inked through to Circle and Mary Wood lakes, and climbed up the mountain to ihe edge of snow. The weather was ideal throughout the trip. On the way out they met the Richard Barthelmess party gointj in. Miss Fnlrhurst is the guest of Mrs. Oswald Harmston, of Bevan, and Mr. Biggs is; visiting his mint. Mrs. Jack Webber, also of Bevan. Local Athletes In Finals at Olympiad Word was received late on Thurs- i tiny night that George Brown, Cumberland athlete running in the 100 j ; yards and 220 yards at the British j | Columbia High School Olympiad, at • I Vancouver, came second in his heats i I in both events, being beaten in the1 [ 100 yards race by Large, last year's! champion. The finals will be run j off this afternoon or evening, the } first nnd second in each heat eom- j petlng. | Kathleen Brown, daughter of Mr.; aud Mrs, W. Brown also managed to win her way through to the final of the girls' 100 yards which will be decided this afternoon or evening. WEDDING R^n niton—Bannerman Christ Church, Vancouver, was thc scene of a very pretty wedding on Friday afternoon at five o'clock, when Margaret Christina, youngest daughter of the late Mr. Thomas Bannerman, of Cumberland, became (he bride of Mr. George Garrett Ren- nison, manager of the Canadian Bunk of Commerce ot Revelstoke, and son of Mr. and Mrs. R, Renni- Son of Wexford, Ireland. The bride is a member of pioneer family of Cumberland, formerly of the local teaching staff, and until recently on the staff of the Revelstoke schools. The bride, who wus given in marriage by her brother, Alderman Dan. Bannerman, of Cumberland, wore an exquisite creation of French lace, in egg-shell shade, featuring the graceful long tines and uneven hemline of tho present mode. Her large picture hat, shoes and gloves, were of matching shade, and she carried a shower bouquet of Ophelein roses and lilic: of the valley. She was attended by Miss Fern Abbott of Vancouver, who wore a charming frock of blue georgette with biege picture hat and matching shoes and who carried a bouquet of sweet peas and fern. Mr, Richard Harris of Vancouver, was best man and the ceremony was performed by Dean Renn.ison, cousin of the bridegroom. Immediately following the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Roifnlson left for Toronto en route to New Vork from which port they will sail for Ireland lo visit Mr. Rennison's parents, extending their tour to England and France. For travelling Mrs. Rennlson wore an ensemble of blue crepe- de-chene, a blue broadcloth coat, and a biege picture hat. The bridegroom's gift to the bride was a fur coat, to the bridesmaid a brooch set with pearls and to the best man white gold cuff links. On their return Mr. and Mrs. Rennlson will make their home in Revelstoke. Amongst the guests present at the wedding were Mrs. Grace Conrod. Mrs. A. Gray, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Bannerman, Leland and .John Banner- man and Miss Edna Conrod, Cumberland. TO TOUR ISLAND Clarence Lindman, who has re- i cently assumed the position of general manager of the San Francisco j Examiner, and E. T. Hoffmeyer, gen- i eral manager of the Seattle Post-In' ' tclligon.Cer, arrived in Victoria Sat- | urday night from the Sound City and are staying at the Empress Ho- ! tel. They aro making a tour of the j Island in tin* company of George I. j Warren, publicity commissioner for i Victoria. Long Cherished Aim Attained Much Needed Ferry Operating A. H. SWAN COMMENCED THE DENMAN FERRY ON MONDAY | Last Monday, after many, many ■ months of effort, the Denman Island- ■ Bmkley Bay ferry became a reality when Mr. A. H. Swan, started the run across from the Island to Buckley Bay. The ferry is subsidized by the Provincial Government and is the outcome of a combined effort of the Farmers' Institute of Denman Island, Courtenay-Comox Board of Trade and Dr. G. K. MacNaughton, M.L.A. That the ferry will be a success goes without saying and Capt. Swan in announcing his schedule intimates that as near as possible the ferry will run fo coincide with the E. and X. Train service and also that of the stage service. The first ferry leaves Denman Island at «::i0 a.m., 10:15 a.m., 2:15 p.m., 4:;i0 p.m. and leaves Buckley Bay at it: 15 a.m., 11:15 a.m. 4:80 p.m. and 5:80 p.m., every day except Sunday. The Sunday service will be slightly modified, the first boat leaving Denman at 8:.'!0 a.m. and the next at 5:00 p.m. and leaving Buckley Bay at 0:00 a.m. and 5 :.'10 p.m. Cricket Game Saturday at 2.30 The Cumberland and Courtenay cricketers, after a rest of several Weeks will stage a game on the "V,; ground, Cumberland on Saturday afternoon, commencing about 2.ISO. P. McLaughlin, who play for both Cumberland and Courtenay will be on the team for the latter this earnc. Cumberland team will be chosen from F. V. Hall (capt.), J. Idiens, vico-capt., ,1.

Through the generosity of Lt.- Col. C. W. Villiers, the Cumberland Cricket Club have been granted *i lease of the "Y" ground and have assumed control of the same. The Colonel, readily recognizing the great work put in by the cricketers on the "Y" ground granted the lease which gives to the cricketers absolute control of the ground. It is to be hoped that all parties granted permission to use the ground will do their utmost to assist in keeping the same in good condition.

Ltd.. dies Tuesday morn- inir in the Cumberland General Hospital at the age of 50 years. The deceased had bcen in the employ of the Company for a great many years and was universally liked. He had been on the sick list for some time but his death in the local hospital this morning came as a distinct shock to a large number of the residents, who will mourn the passing of a genial soul. The remuins of the deceased were taken over to Vancouver on Thursday by Mr. T. E. Banks to be cremated in the Vancouver Crematorium. ated by the officials of the cricket club that any persons or persons caught damaging the property in any shape or form will be instantly prosecuted. New Method Of Treating Coal Visit Cumberland After long Absence Mr. and Mrs. Ralph E. Frost and (laughter, Miss Norma, arrived in Cumberlnnd on Thursday to renew acquaintances when they were residents here some eight or nine years ago. Mr. Frost at the time of his residence in Cumberland operated the Drug Store now run by R. C. Lang, who took over the business seven and one-half years ago. Both Mr. and Mrs. Frost were exceptionally well known throughout the district, Mrs. Frost being at the time a prominent pianist, her services being in great demand at all dances and parties. Miss Norma Frost along with her brother attended the local public school and also made many friends and whilst in the district, Mr. and Mis. Frost would like to meet as many of their old friends ns possible before returning to their home in Covina. California. Bowling Green Is Declared Open; Colliery Company Thanked for Assistance Rendered Shortly after 11 a.m. on Saturday last, a long cherished aim was realiz- ed when the Cumberland bowling green was officially declared open by I Lt.-Co), Charles W. Villiers, general manager of the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir). Limited. Prior to the opening ceremony the Cumberland City Band appeared on ; the scene and rendered several popular selections, the huge throng present appreciating the efforts of bandmaster Jackson and his men greatly. In opening the proceeding*. A. J. Tnylor, president of the Cumberland Literary and Athletic Association said it afforded him very much pleasure to welcome so many of the residents of Cumberland there that morning. He also extended a cordial welcome to the olFicials of the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir), Ltd and the sixteen members of tin- Nanaimo Lawn Bowling club who had come up for the express purpose of : assisting in the opening ceremony. The officials of the Canadian Col- \ Ueries said Mr. Taylor had been very generous in their offers of assistance to the board of management of the Athletic Club in their efforts to include lawn bowling in the activities. That assistance was very much appreciated and he felt sure that the feeling of friendship that existed between the management and the employees would be greatly enhanced. He paid a great tribute to Mr. W. A. Dwen who as the architect was responsible for the building of the green and club house, a club house, second to none in the Province and made possible entirely through the generosity of the Canadian Collieries through Lt.-Col Villiers. Mr. Taylor said he did not want to lake up any more time hut would call upon Lt.- Col. C. W. Villiers to say a few words and to declare the green open. Col. Villein* Throws Firsl Bal) | The Colonel was very enthusiastically received and in the course of \ his remarks said it afforded the of-. Mcldls of thc company a great ileal , of pleasure to have been of assist-. ance in bringing about the comple- tlon of the bowling green. Ho wish- j ed the club a very successful future. He hnd been told, he said, that ho wus to throw the first bowl, but that "jack" looked a long way off. He i had never thrown a bowl before, lmt would do his best. The bowl was then given to the Colonel, who ! without any effort landed In the ' R. L. Process for Low Temperature Carbonisation of Carbonaceous Substances (Coals, Slacks Lignites) Has Been Patented in Canada It is a matter of newspaper and political comment that the unemployment situation in British Columbia collieries is serious. Hence, any scheme which would cause nn increased consumption of coal and thereby afford additional employment to miners should bo seriously considered nnd investigated, This much, at least, is due the unemployed. With this in view attention is drawn to the merits of thc R. L. process for the low temperature carbonization of carbonaceous substances such as coal, slack and lignites. It is claimed that this process will encourage the consumption of conl ond stimulate the mining and other industries of the Province. The low carbonization of coal by a speedy process, inexpensive in operation and capable of being installed nt a low initial cost, with the equipment safe-jrunrded against high depreciation, should materially stimulate tbe consumption of coal .increase employment and thereby give out-of-work miners fhe opportunity to earn food, clothing and shelter for themselves, their wives and cll-l die n. ) A pilot plant, capable of treating 50 tons of coal or slack ov lignite . of any kind by tbe R. L. Process is ; ready at Spokone, Washington, to denionstratee the economic feasibility of the process and the truth of the various claims of the inventors.. Messrs. Records and Louttet of Spokane. The investigator can choose his own raw material, his own expert and his own operatives to effect the low carbonization of his raw product by the use of superheated steam and to check up the statements of the inventors. The investigator's expert can investigate the following claims and his report can state definitely as lo the truth thereof. 1. Coal, slack or lignite of any kind is equally suitable for treatment, hence practically worthies'; slack and lignite can be changed into clean, smokeless, valuable fuel with free burning, high heating, qualities at a low cost. Further, differing (Continued on pagfl three) Bowling Green Being Drained During the past week, the bowling green has been fully occupied each evening and some real good games enjoyed by Ihe members, The green, will undoubtedly become a favorite place during the summer months and those not wishing to play on the green can sit on the spacious coed verandah ami enjoy watching others play. Tuesday evening the members travelling down to the green received a decided shock when they discovered that a trench half way across the green and about two feet deep had been cut. On investigation it was learned that Mr. A. D. Clark, of Vancouver, who is the superintendent of greens there hnd paid a visit to the local green in the course of a holiday jaunt. After consultation Iwith members of the executive and Ithe architect il was decided that the green should be drained Immediately [with the result thai the trench was dug. In the fall the other half will S be trenched and Mr. Clark stales ihat I next year the green will be in lirst I class shape. The alterations being undertaken, however, do not inter- ! fere with play as four rinks are still i available. A singles handicap is he- ■ ing arranged and entries are now being received. Tbe draw will be made on Saturday and play commenced in lhe first tournament at the new howling green, the same day. Already half of the members have entered, I and it is expected that by closing i day, Saturday, every member of the club will have his name on the list Ladies May Form Club Whilst there has been nothing d"*J' ■ inite done up to the present time, there is talk of the ladies forming a club. Several well known ladies of. the town have been heard to remark | they can beat any of tin* men they have seen play so that if a club is ; formed a most successful and inter eating future is in store for thi bowling green.

Dr. MacNaughton. win- was called upon to say a few words, congratulated lhe board of management mi al last achieving one nf their great- eat ambitions, the building of a bowling green. He did not know very much about the game but what little he had seen nf it be bail formed the opinion that it was very skilful and at the same time a very healthful form of recreation. He wished the Huh all success. Presentations Made The president of ihe club. Mr. Taylor said before proceeding any further be had one or two very pleasing functions to perform. The board of management had decided thai such help received from the Colliery Company should not go unrecognized. He asked Colonel Villiers to accept a pair of Ik.wis and a "jack" mounted on a beautiful statute. The Colonel, in accepting the presentation said it was a great surprise to him to receive such a very nice present. He did not know very much about the game of bowling hut with the handsome pair just given to him, he hoped to come down to the green sometimes and get one of the members to show him the way. Mr. John Hunt, general superintendent was also the recipient «.f a pair of bowls and in accepting them said he was always pleased to be associated in any way at all with amateur sport and intimated that he nt all times was quite ready to help in promoting such sports to the best of his ability. Concluding he said, "you will always find me here." Mr. W. A. Owen was also the recipient of a pair of bowls and a "jack" mounted. Mr. Taylor remarking that Mr. Owen bad heen of great help to the board of management and the green could never have heen completed but for his good work. Mr. Owen in reply said "I am not going to make any speech, my work- has been completed but I thank you very much for your nice words and the beautiful gift." Mr. Thomas Graham was also presented with a "jack" mounted on a beautiful statute, the president saying thnt during Mr. Graham's connection with the Colliery Company, the board had always received ji courteous hearing from him and at all limes greal assislance. Mr. Graham in reply said it had afforded him great pleasure to have been of assistance. Looking ai the bowling green he could not help but feel glad of the fuel that alter years of deliberation a bowling green had become a reality. He felt sure thla many of the older members who had got past the time participating in tbe more strenuous games would find just the relaxation needed- to give them a great deal of benefit and enjoyment. He wished the club all success in the future. Mr. T. H. Williams should also have heen presented with a souvenir, hut as he was not able to be present, the gift would be presented to him at a future date. Mr. P. Perryf tbe president of the company who happened to be on a visit it, Cumberland was ca'led upon lor a few words. Mr. Perry .-aid it was always a pleasure to him to come to Cumberland. He bad been brought up in a mining village in tbe old country where all was Murk and smoky, but coming to Cumherland was like coming to a health resort instead of a mining camp. The beautiful country surrounding the city looked bo peaceful and inviting and with the new buvvling green added to the many activities of thc i lub be felt sure that much enjoymenf would follow the use of the green, lie was very glad indeed ibai the Company could be of ai Istunce in procuring for their employee* nome nf the am enities of lit'.*.

Perry continued, '•hut I must -ay I am disappointed, when I nee - manv beautiful statutes depicting Queen Ellzabetn presenting some favor to Sir Francis Drake and not being one of tbe recipients." He wished a successful future I', the club. Mr. Taylor before tbe close "f the proceedings notified all present tha: through the generosity of Lt -Col. Villiers a hands..me cup had been presented for annual competition, between the employed) of the company in the Nanaimo and Cuiliberland divisions. The sivteen members of tbe Na- nalmo club coming up to participate in ihe opening ceremony were entertained at a dinner ni the Union Hotel ami in the afternoon played friendly games with a number of the Cumberland member*. All Saturday evening ami again on Sunday, the green was fully occupied. PAGE TWO CUMBERLAND ISLANDER, CUMBERLAND, It. C.

BICKLE BIRTHRATE DROPS ACCORDING in figures made public by the United States Bureau of Education the American birthrate is declining rapidly. It' ii were not for large families owned by men ami women whose parents came from some land ss the water, tilings would probably be more alarming, for in must sections few large families of 'III American stock can be found.

LOVE There are so many kinds of love, For some it is a problem, To try to find which kind of above. All other loves For them. uf fathers, sisters, brothers, loves, Sweethearts and aunts, and cousins, Of grandpapas and graudmamas, And friends adored by dozens. Of all these if I had to choose Which one above the others, The one I'm sure 1 wouldn't lose, 'Tis the real true love of Mother. Marguerite Herd, Grade IX, June, 1980.

College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by correspondence. SLEEP AND REST Good habits of sleep and rest piny a large part In securing the healthy development of children. Very many children do not get sufficient rest and, as a result, they do not grow or gain in weight. In addition their appetites are poor, or they are irritable and cranky. Perhaps the most frequent cause of malnutrition in children is lack of sufficient rest. The pre-school child suffers most in this way. He has reached on interesting age, and often he his allowed to remain up for the evening men! so that his father may ploy with htm* Father most likely thinks that be is amusing the child, but it is really the child who is amusing Father. The child enjoys this play, but it makes him excited, and so he does not settle down to sleep readily when put to bed, with the result that his rest is disturbed, The ch'hl of two und three years of age should be put tn bed lone; hefore the family's evening meal. The child of four and live should go to bed right after the evening meal, and should not be stimulated by being played with just hefore his bed-time. We need never worry nbout a child's having too much sleep. Up to six years of age, the child should , sleep for not less than twelve hours ' at night ,and one or two hours in ' the afternoon. The night sleep should continue until the child wakes : naturally. The child under six needs more rest than the school child, because1 hc is more active and he is passing ! through a period when he is devehip- j ing rapidly, both physically and men- i tally. 1 The afternoon rest should be con- .tinued. It is better that the child • should sleep because sleep is thc ! best form of rest. If he does not ; sleep, he should he told to lie quiietlj ! und rest, and he should not be fussed over for not going to sleep. Mention should be made that the j over-tired child is the one who, very often does not feel a bit sleepy. Parents may think, if the child says he is not sleepy and seems wlde- I awake, that rest or sleep is not nec- lessary, Wo would like to stress the fact that the underweight and so- called nervous children very often refuse to admit that they are tired. Children are more active on some days than on others, and therefore, they are not so tired on one day as on another. It is best, however, lo have u regular bedtime for the child, because this makes it much easier : for him to go to sleep. He should j then be allowed to sleep until h« wakens. In this way, he will get . all the sleep he requires, which Is, without question, what is most essential for his health and strength but which, nevertheless, entails no expense. — 11 .

The smokeless fuel produced by ; the R. L. Process has a low ignition I point. This means that, unlike coke, jut cun be kindled an easily as ordin- ; ary coul—a very valuable feature, ; especially in domestic use. :.. Further, this smokeless fuel 1ms greater heat values und consequently , greater radiation than ordinary untreated coal or commercial coke. The 1 radiation of this smokeless fuel is i approximately 25'. greater than 1 that of ordinary coal and the period of combustion is approximately SO', longer in duration. 4. The ash produced from such combustion is free from clinkers ami in appearance resembles wood ash. This feature is extremely valuable in both domestic and commercial uses. To sum up, this smokeless fuel, produced by the R. L. Process, is clean to handle, free from smoke and soot, burns about half again as long as coal and gives off approximately 25' i more beat than on equal weight of flrst class coal. The low temperature carbonJ:',a- tion of one short ton of first class coal or sunk or lignite, by the R. L. Process, yields approximately the following products. (a) 1,400 lbs. smokeless fuel (b) 25 gals. Tar Oils (c) 10,000 cu. ft. of 400 B.T.U. Cases. (d) 20 tbs. Ammonium Sulphate. Now 1 ton of slack or lignite yields about HI,000 B.T.U's per th. or 20,- 000,000 B.T.U's In all. 1 ton of smokeless fuel (produced by the R. L. Process) yields about 12,750 B.T.U's per lb. or 25,000,000 B.T.U's in all. 1 ton of slack lignite produces 20,000.00 B.T.U's. 1 ton of slack or lignite produces 1,-100 lbs. of smokeless fuel or (12,- 750 x 1,400) equals 17, 850,000 B.T.U's In all. Therefore, one can compare 1 ton of slack or lignite before and after treatment: 1 ton unhealed slack or lignite yields 20,000,000 B.T.U's. 1 lon slack or lignite treated by U. L. Process yields: (a) 1.400 lbs. smokeless fuel capable of yielding 1.750,000 B.T.U's. (b) 85 gals. Tar Oils (which can be fractionated) (c) 10,000 cu. ft. of Gas containing the equivalent of 400 B.T.U's per cu. ft. of gas equals 4,000,000 B. T. U's. fd) HO lbs. Ammonium Sulphate. Thus though 1 ton of slack or lignite on treatment produces only seven-tenths of its weight in smokeless fuel, this amount .if smokeless fuel will yield 80.259} of the B.T.U'': cedited to the ton of slack or lignite. As an offset to this decrease of 10.75'; of tho B.T.U's, the ton of treated slack or lignite yields 10,000 cu. ft, of gas containing 400 B.T.U's per cu, ft. or in all gas capable of yielding 4,000,000 additional B.T.U's Further the ton of treated slack or lignite gives 35 gals, of Tar Oils and 20 tbs. of Ammnoium Sulphate. The ton of treated coal, slack or lignite yields products whose value can be compared at Spokane (wholesale) : 1 ton coal, market price, $7.02, Drumheiler, run of mine; 1 ton slack market price, $0.00 Drumheiler slack coal, slack or lignite to the Spok&M 1 ton lignite, market price, $6,20, Plant for treatment under his owi Lundbreck, Alberta. expert and crews and to attempt bj 1,400 lbs.
