This principle applies also to the great transcontinental na- tional railways of Canada, Ships must feed these lines and, as Van- couver and Prince Rupert are the terminals on the Pacific coast, large and fast steamers must be found to carry the freight from and to the Orient. Private ship- ping companies have not so far taken this trade up in a very ac- tive manner owing, possibly, to lack of appreciation of the large trade to be built up, consequently the Government of Canada must do so if the railways are to run successfully.

With suit- able ships and capable experienced management Canada should do better, as her resourees are much greater. Even, however, if a loss be sustained, the operation of a government line of steamers on a route which is unserved by private interests, or inadequately served, is defensible on the line of building up the foreign com- merce of the nation. The prin- ciple of subsidising privately- owned steamers operated = on routes which cannot, at first, is exactly parallel, since it involves the principle of using publie funds for building up for- e gn trade, and this has for many able i SSE “nay,” voars been done by other nations. Proper Wharfage. Trade with the Orient is in- cueasing rapidly and the great detriment to it not being double wiat it is at present is the want of suitable ships. Some time ago a Japanese company proposed to in a service of steamers from the Orient to Prince Rupert, but, owing to want of proper facilities for loading and discharging at that port the scheme fell through What is required both at Prince Rupert and Vancouver is whartf- are accommodation with proper cranes for loading and discharg- ing, and also large railway yards to enable the freight to be moved as quickly as_ possible. If all these are made spacious enough, there should be no congestion of tratlic like one may see “when space is limited. Congestion al- ways means delay and expense ‘hat should be avoided. Fast Steamships. As the railway across Canada to Prince Rupert has not yet been fully developed, an express mail senvice could be put in operation to connect with fast steamers at Peince Rupert. Mail and passen- from, say, Southampton, could be landed in hanghai in 24 days. On this route there should be at least three fast steamers specially suit- ed for the Paeifie trade, with a sea speed, in loaded condition, of not less than 18 knots in ordinary weathers; with a possible 20 knots, nd having accommodation for ’,0 or 300 first-class passengers and to carry from 5,000 to 8,000 deadweight cargo. Vessels of this type would be about 600 feet long, 70 feet beam and 29 feet draught. They would dis- place about 25,000 tons. Ample deck space for promenade and shelter would be required and cold and hot air ventilating sys- rs igland, tens tems installed as both hot and cold weather is experienced in this trade. Sufficient ballasting arrangements should be provided so that the return’ voyage with light Gargoes would give a meta- centric height of at least thre feet and would make the stability of the vessel sure when in this condition, and be more comfort- able and enjoyable from a pas- senger’s point of view, Shortest Route. These vessels should be built with deep. plates and widely spaced frames and on the pillar and girder principle. This is the strongest type of vessel that has yet been designed and can stand the enommous strains that are experienced when driving into a head sea, The propelling ma- chinery should be two recipro- cating engines and one centre turbine. Oil should be the fuel sed as it is cleaner, more effici- ent and economical than coal. For fast handling of a cargo a sufficient number of silent steam winches should be used, Electric winches have not proved the sue- cess anticipated, owing to their THE DAILY NEWS | Patna Neca T excellence: Order today from your Butcher or Grocer HE universal desire to’ make Easter breakfast a really delightful meal, is easily fulfilled by housewives who use Swift’s Premium Hams and Bacon A few slices of this mild, delicately- cured ham or bacon—cooked to a tempt- ing brown—served sizzling hot—make a meal the whole family will enjoy.
