IMiLv KDJTIUft Snlurday, May JO, 1025. B.C. A Barren, Cold, Mountainous Country. Britih Columbia people will be interested in n quotation from "Truth," published in Lomhfiij England, oif1 September 1, ' 1881 : , . "'The Canadian Pacific Rniirriad Company' lias begun, 1 see, to launch its bonds. 'A -group of Montreal and New York bankers' lias undertaken tu 'float' ten million dollars' worth of the company's land grant bond, and the Bank of .Montreal, with its usilal courage, has taken one-fourth of the entire loan. Th's announcement looks as if the Canadians were going to raise the. necessary capital in the other sideof Ihe water, but 1 have a shrewd suspicion thai they have iio real Intention of doing anything of the kind. The .New Yurkers are keen enough, gamblers, mid reckless; enough at times, 1 admit, and yet it is impossible to believe that they are such fools as to put their money into this mad 'project. I would as soon'credit them 'with a willingness to subscribe hard cash in support of a scheme for the utilization of icebergs. The Canadian Pacific Railway will run, if it be ever finished, through a country frost-bound for seven 'or eight months of Ihe year, and will connect with the eastern part of the Dominion a province which embraces about as forbidding country, as'any on the face of the earth. British Columbians' they say, have forced on the execution of this part of the contract nlider which they became incorporated with Ihe Dominion, and believe that prosperity will come to them when the line is made. This is a delusion on their part. British Columbia is a barren, cold mountainous country, thqt is not worth keeping. It would never have been inhabited at all, unless by trappers of. the Hudson's Bay Conipany, had the 'gold fever' not taken -a party of mining adventurers there; and ever since that fever Hied dowd the place has been going from bad to worse. Fifty railways would not galvanise it into prosperity:' Foolish To Spend Cash On Hudson's Bay Railway. Doubtless if there hod been no war and the country had plenty of money to spend there, would have been a railway to Hudson's Bay by this time, just as it i's to be supposed that Prince Rupert would have been much further developed and much larger than it is today. It is useless to discuss that. We are what we are because of conditions and as a nation we are burdened with debt because of war conditions. What we have fit do just now is to carry on as best we can until there is im provement. i V-build (Tie HudsonV Bay railway' under These-'condition would , be foolish. The 'railway will lie jmilt some day but not yet. Mplier Has come to Allierta ami .Saskatchewan the de vclopitjenl of (he western route through the Panama Canal and 1i.al Jin's set bark the Hudson's Bay sclieme many years. Any government that would put millions of dollars into that scheme. knowing that it would be operated at a Joss for years would lie siire to'ie'dismis.sed by the people at the first possible opportunity., Ketchikan's Road Building Progress. KetcJiikau lias a road six or -seven, miles out in a northerly direction, which is well graded and surfaced will) crushed rock. Anotjie'r two miles is being built southward. PJntis are being laid for further road building in the neighborhood. These roads are biljlt by the federal government, which owns tie laud. etchikau is an older cily than Prince Rupert bill it i$ not as large and has iio railway. By comparison it is for the people here hi consider how much road building tlicy should have im-ineiHalely; adjacent lo the city. Happily the-work on the-first piece is proceeding and liefore long we -should be able lo jump into n car and drive to the back end of Kaie.n Island. Next, difficulty Is Getting Piece Of Lsnd . Nothing holds Jinck Uiis cily and district so miicti as the policy of ihe railway company and government in keeping Ihe land a tied up in such a way that no one can purchase any of n. -Many peopie would iikc to own a small rancli or country place adjacent to the city, which they rouhl improve in their spare tinte. There they jvould eventually develop a garden hull in lime we should have places around the city that would partly supply the'vegelables andifruit for, those wlio live here.- The Hv in HieVuitmejit is the inability to secure suitable land withitva. reasonable distance of the city. There is plenty of land and it doc not seem as if it would have any particular value for many years lo come. If some of it were put mi the market on reasonable terms the work of development could commence.

TORONTO GLOBE ON RAILWAY MONOPOLY Objects to Letting C.P.R. Have Canadian National and Does Not Like Government to Own All The Toronto tilolie of recent date comnientiiiig on the proposal lo sell out the Canadian National 4ii the C.P.H., say: The (llohe shares wilh Mr. (raham his objections to a railway monopoly for Ibis country. We believe that any proposition to merge the Canadian National I with the Canadian Pacific under the latter. management would meet with Instant disapproval from the vast majority of people from coast to roast. Canadians have good reason to dislike the idea of private monopoly in any fornf. There would bo less objection to a ni-cnopoly under government ownership, but for the present at least Canadian opinion would be against, shouldering any more railway troubles. One practical and commendable course alone is open that is, two big railways, competing and yet co-opealing. Mr. flraunm says he is going to request another meeting of Ihe two presidents lo see if sonic arrange ment cannot he arrived at or bo-operalion in many departments. Forced co-operalion can not he demanded, he added, be cause of the danger of alarming foreiign capital. ' However, if railway officials cannot agree on co-operation anil a reasonable degree, of limitation in duplicate services, Mr. Oralinm would be mute justified : in calling upon the Hallway Commission to act in the capacity of arbitrator.
