A PEAT INDUSTRY FOR CANADA.
Under the presidecny of Dr. Eugene Haanel, director of}
mines for the Dominion Government, there has been started at.
Ottawa a society known as the Canadian Peat Society, having)
for its object the advancement of the peat industry in Canada, |
This is an important work for two national reasons. First, we |
are very much dependent for fuel on American sources; and, }
secondly, it would mean another and very profitable industry |
for Canada.

_ Three thousand six hundred pounds of machine peat is}

> equal in heat-producing value to a ton of anthracite coal, and}

costs only $1.40 a ton to produce.

In 1909, Canada imported coal from the United States to!
the amount of nearly 10,000,000 tons, valued at $26,831,859. |
The development of some of our extensive peat bogs will help
to keep some of this money at home and to furnish additional |
employment to Ganadians in Canada.

Canada has 37,000 square miles (23,680,000 acres) of |
known peat bogs, but these form probably but a small fraction |
of the total, constituting a potential national asset of enormous}
value. |

Some idea of the possibilities may be gained from the esti-|

“mate that 28 acres of peat 9 feet deep should yield 50,000 tons;

enough to supply 100 families for 25 years, allowing 20 tons per}
family, or enough to furnish a power plant of 100 horsepower |

, ; : ; 4s |
using steam engines with fuel for more than 25 years of 300)

ten-hour day, allowing 12 pounds of fuel per horsepower hour}

developed. The fuel, if used in a suitable gas producer would |
last the same plant about 100 years.

ernment experts, are estimated to contain over 25,000,000 tons

of fuel.
: To re-establish confidence in the value of peat as a domestic |

‘and industrial fuel, and to stimulate development of our peat

resources, the Government has acquired 300 acres of peat bog)
at Alfred, Ont., for the purpose of manufacturing peat fuel on |
a commercial scale by a method which has proved successful |
in Europe.

The capacity of the plant is 30 tons per day, and during
part of the past summer 1,600 tons of machine peat were pro-
duced. Allowing 140 days for a easson’s operations, the cost
of the fuel on the field is $1.40 per ton, under conditions existing
a tthe government plant. By the use of larger plant and using
mechanice] excavators to replace hand labor this cost of produc-
tion can be greatly reduced.

In their work of turnimg the barren wastes into profitable
fields of labor, the Canadian Peat Society is doing a truly patriotic

work.

The following is a sample of a kind of letter
The Daily News frequently receives. This
one is from a man in Alberta

 

 

Dear Mr. Editor:

Me and some friends of mine would like to buy a few cify
lots in Prince Rupert, but we don’t know anyone at present
in Prince Rupért, so we have written to ask if you would be
kind enough to send me on your daily paper, as I am told it
advertises the most city lots and property for sale in Prince
Rupert, for which IT send you on some stamps. Hoping you
will oblige us, and apologizing for the trouble.

Yours respectfully,
