The mayor 1ms made an effort to settle the Cuw Bay ques tion and it looked as if he hud succeeded until snag were en countered in the oily loiinril. Josilily these will he reinmeil heiore the next meeting. There is one Ihiug that seem to le forgotten in connection with this controversy and that is that the Provincial fioverwiienl gels nothing out of the ileal. All it does is lose. At present the Provincial Government has some lots at the Bay which it pro poses to give to the city for specific purposes a long a the whole nuestioh is settled fur the hen efit of Prince Runert ami the successful operation of ihe railway. When the city gives Its sanction to fill up the sink hole at Cow Bay, it gives the railway company an opportunity to so improve its yardage that it may he. in a position to serve Prinre Rupert helter. It all comes lack to use in the long run. We must of course protect our own interests hut we are the gainers if conditions are improved and the smelly hole at that end of thtf town ceaes to he a menace to the health of the whole city. Explanation Of Railway Board Order. Many people do nol seem to quite luiuer-laml wlial i meant by the order made this week hy the board of railwav commissioner i" confirming Hie, former judgment and refusing the appeal of the Montreal Board of Irade. An order was made some time ago by Ihe chairman of the hoard that the railway? should file tariffs to the west at equal rates, mile for mile with those to the eastern seaboard, which are set by statute. They filed a Tariff conforming oiuy partially with the order which i explained hy the Edmonton Bulletin as follows: arrom Edmonton to nncouver previous to the pasing of thisorder the rate on wheat wjas 13.r cents per bushel. Tin? rate now is 12.fi cents a husheL II ought to be lower than that. But taking the reduction already made, the saving to the Alberta farmers i tremendou. This reduction from the former to the present rale amounts to nine-tenlhs of a ceilt a luihel. On a million bushels the savin? is $9,000. On one hundred million bushels the saving will amount to ?!00,noo. That is, even if the present high rates should be maintained in disregard of the hitler of the commission. ' It is ki he supposed, now the tinier has hchmd it the authority of the full board, of the railway commissioners, that the railways will rifike compliance with he terms of the order and cut dnw'n the wcstbonnif rales In a parity with the east-bound, distance taken into account t What Rate . ' Should Be. If the railways do that thA rale on wheat from Edmonton to Vancouver for export will be 10.2 fenl a bushel over the CP.R. linos and 0.7 cents a bushel over the National lines. Or if the higher of these rates 10.2 cents is made applicable to both roads, which i more likely, the saving to the Alberta grower will be 3.3 cents H bushel, compared to the rate of 13.o cents a bushel charged before the McKeown-Oliver, Order wn issued. A saving of 3.1! cents a Juishel ineaiis a saving yf l.300f-000 jun a, shipment ,,f 100,000,000 bushels. That is what the McKcown-Oliver order ought to ,nean to the farmers of Alberta. on the export of their wheal (;rnp only, for the year 102.". Atid that is whaV it will mean If he railways are compelled to put thai. order into .'effect to (he ful. The rate fin wheal .ruin Edmonton to El. AVillimn i 20 cents a 100 lbs., or lo.fi nyfts iuhusheL The tjiIh from monton to Vancouver under Ibis lirder of the railway commis sion camiot ue niitre llian 10.2 cents a bushel. The difference is o.-J ceiila;.busiiel in favor of the westward route. On an txporl croji of 0j),00t),0f)0 bushels thai spread in freight rate works out lo a difference of 5, 100,000. On .every carhyid marketed II amount to $51. If Kl. William has not seen the last car load of Alberta wheat that will go via the eastward route that will have lo he hecau-e the Pacific lerfniiifll "cannol handle the traffic, or because the Alberta farmer does mil really sense the difference it makes lo his pocket whether he ships his wheal eastward or westward. In freight chyrges alone, the difference in marketing last year' crop of wheal through Vancouver under 'he MK('owii-Oliver order instead of marketing it via Kl. William, is equivalent t" mi increased yield of one bushel on every acre of Alberta, lund that was sown h wheal last -pring.
