I About five American teams, will ; probably take part, their object be-j ing to regain the gold cup for the uniiea states. What might have, resulted In a very serious train wreck was avoided in the nick of time on the Canadian Tacific Railway Parry Sound subdivision, by section foreman Con-xani, who while patrolling the track near Brignall recently discovered two large iron nuts on top of the rails, securely fastened with hay wire. The foreman had Just time to unfasten the wire and remove the nuts to clear the track for a train was due in five minutes. Two boys in the vicinity admitted, after questioning, that they wired the nuts to the rails. They were sentenced to the local shelter for one month and their fathers were required to give bond and report to the authorities for two years. Evidence given by farmers before the U.S. Tariff Commission showed that under American railway rates a bushel of wheat could be hauled only 35 miles for one rent, while under Canadian rates the same amount of money would move the same amount of grain 66 miles. American farmers claim that this is a saving in favor of the Canadian producer of 44 per cent, or about 8 cents a bushel. The reason given for the difference is that in the United States grain rates are based on cost of moving it to-day, while in Canada they are bssed on 197 costs, when the Crow's Nest Pass agreement was made between the Government and the Canadian ficllic,. .
