A correspondent yesterday wanted to know "once and for all. if the railway were in politic. -Once and for alt we would reply "Ye?." They always hae been and they always will lie. Aniuruiiy we Know no more nliout this matter than does our correspondent. He ha access lo all the means of information thai we have and ioihly has more time lo read than falls In the lot of n hard driven newspaperman. However, since he lias brought up the ipiesluih, this is the Daily News' opinion: The Canadian National Railways, which are the ones lo which it is presumed he refers, are the property of the people or Canada and the people of Cautula have appointed Right Hon. William Lyon 'Mackenzie King to do their business for them, lie is to do all the public business and the railways is part of the public business, therefore the 'railways are ifi pontics. Position Of Sir Henry Thornton. Possibly our correspondent is referring to the position qf Sir Henry Thornton and the anuiiinl of-freedom the head of the railways possesses working under the general direction iii mat ters of policy of the Premier and his cabinet .sir Henry was appointed' to manage the railways, just as the president of the C.P.R. is appointed by ju. shareholders', through their representatives. He is. told to-fake charge and thai he will lie given a free, baud. Bui. and there is the difficulty. but, the railways are not paying their way. Mo they need money for development' purposes and Sir Henrv lias to go to the shareholders for money, and when he goes he has to get the approval or the shareholders lo make those expenditures. If Sir Henry coild speak out, he would probably tell u that he has wanted to do a great ninny things which Hie government would not stand for. He has wanted to siend money in order to increase the efficiency of Hie. system, but it is for 'the government to say whether they can provide it or not. Also thev must. a the most interested parties, have some say in the gen-4lt nf damage before spring. The oral policy to be followed. They have to answer to parliament for the operaiion of Hie line and the members of parliament have lo answer to their constituents. So Hie line is bound trr lie in politico. During the last election, il was the opposition that continually attacked the railway policy of the government and even made personal attacks on Sir Henry Thornton, thus taking the railway into the political limelight. Yes the railway wa in polilic during the election and always' vill be. whether it continues to be operated by the 'government' or reverts to private ownership. , H. H. Stevens And The Government Ships. In regard to'the particular incident mentioned bv our correspondent. lhej-onvertiiig of the government ships " into oil burners. Mr. Slevens made this a political question bv bringing it up in the House or Commons and directly following' his series of question., which drew the attention of the government to Hie IMtsHtion of the coal industry on Vnnueouver Island, the. contrary were withdrawn. We were "quite justified in slating, when quoting the questions r. Slevens asked, that thev caused Trip Change in of nn1iv jr. ' . iinge c poucy. v j . . . -i . :v Wa l 'in: ''. did. I ......

They had but one thing in view, and that was (lie cheap operation of Ihe ships. The government hud also to lake into consideration the effect of the change on the coal industry of'' British Columbia where thousands of people are affected all the year round.

While working over his trap tine this winter ho came across the tracks of a number, of wolves. and some time later he saw a park of six following a moose When he got time lie picked up the trail and came upon the death scene of a big bull moose From the manner in which the snow was trampled Hie moose had put up a great fight, but in the end. the wolves brought hliu down, and Hie horns and a few hones were nil that was left o! lilin. Miller set a trap in tlu vicinity, . iinl was rewarded by taking one of the pack, but thr others apparently got wise and moved along. The skin of the animal taken in the trap measured eight feeet from tip to lip. and Miller collected thi guvern-ment tiounlv of I5 upon It. Or dinarily a skin of the size would have brought 30, but tlie moose had reached this particular wolt it number of times, and injure: it to such an extent thai llfly I"1' cent was knocked out of the Value of the skin. Mr. Miller says that since the wolves have moved out of Ids Ihunediali vtelnity they have been seen by a netarhbor who Is trapping on the Murch lake, about three miles lo the soulli. This Irapper was not able lo catch ui. with Ihe pack, is it was then fol lowing another moose. Il asserts there were six or seven jt Hie pack which he saw. Comparative Stranger Mr. Miller says the blaek, Clin tier wolf is a comparative stranger in this part of the countrv They are fairly nUiiierntls BrtrfV vicinity of MacLeod lakebuf .ge Hum imm merr way mj iur soillrr. The chief damage they do is Slto killing of the moose and olhe- big game, and if they cannot b dpne away with, even the hall dozen whirlt. have been seen in lb" vicinity of Chief Lake will do knowledge that the timber wolves are in the vicinity and I bat there are at leal six or seven of them ih the one pack which has been seen, should prote of interest to the hunters of Prince (ieorge. The wolves have, been so long in the neighborhood they have apparently decided to slay while I lie game continues easy to kill, and il should not be difficult to come up oji the pack. There is Hie government bounty ofMtf per head, they are all full strowr. animals, and if they could be shot before the moose eul their hides up too much their skin should bring another or 3i) eadi. There is an oiiimrtunilv bi. tbe situation for the hunter tjjf save their big game ami b paid for doing so. If the wolvn are noi driven out, more may make their way down u)Li th, district from the north, and tin-iyp 'game which escape them will seek new feeding grounds.
