There are & lot of powerful interests bucking that. project. What injury is being done to Canada and the .many . thousands - of people in the Peace River country is not given a‘thought or a care by those interests. The only. recourse the peo- ple have is the Dominion Government and the only way to get action. from that government is a united action by the people in the Peace, on the North Coast and throngh the interior through which the road will pass. That is a big order, even to get unity in the in- terior through which the road will pasa through. But with Prince Rupert on one end and the Peace River on the other end the interior will be- brought into ‘line ‘sooner or later. That road ‘will mean move to this country than the: main line of the O.N.R.,. because the C.N.R. cannot grow te any extent without feeders. MORE HEAT FROM WOOD Wood has always been an import- ant fuel in Canada and is still largely used by our rural and to a lesser ex- tent. by our urban population, The annuni consumption is more that eight ‘millian cords yalued at over thirty mil- lion dollars. Fuel experts claim that we burn our wood wastefully, that our stoves and furnaces are not designed ‘| for the most efficient use of this fuel. ‘exceeding 20° — the thne to time to meet, : en montiiv, 3 | her thusband:.who,, has. to; ‘provide according to authorntive information new types of slow combustion woad- stoves used extensively in Hurope have’ double the heating capacity of ours, They need to be filled only twice in twenty-four hours, give an even agveenble heat and produee little ash and no clinkers: ‘These stoves are de- signed for burning chunk wood of small Int fairly uniform size. If stoves of this type prove. ns effi- cient under Canadian conditions as they do under European they will re- fue greatly the cost of fuel used in. logeing. camps: and will add conslder- ably to the comfort of men living in the woods. More efficjent use of wood for fuel should increase the demand on farms and to a lesser extent in townd and cities, and open up.2° more e profit: able market for wood of “weed" spe- cies, defective trees and the: -waste from saw mills and other wood-using industries, A greater use of wood aé tuel would ‘help to solve many “of our silvicultural problems, -faclitate’ forest protection and assist forest industries, FOOD PRIOES RISING’ again | ‘disturbing, the ‘peace of mind of the thrifty.
