PROMISES flK.UN The forefofaac the conclusion one might ret fmn study of the map and the grain route. But a Tlsit to Victoria evince the arguments which apparently have swayed the majority of voters: The only way that the Canadian National Railway can get grain Into government elevators at Vancouver Is by paying toil to the Canadian Pacific Railway the switching and other ttoatte tofal about 117 the -car. .Sir 'jHtrtry.

But some folks assert that the grain elevators at Vancouver should have been built at New Westminster, where they would have been accessible on rqual terms by both railroads and where the vessels would have lain In fresh water while loading. It it not evident if It was a parochial spirit which led to the selection of Vancouver Itself as the grain terminal, rather than New Westminster, which is a cant twelve miles farther from the deep sea.

MOVE COMPANY. TOO Victoria is being criticized somewhat for its recently developed penchant for civic guarantees of Industrial en terprises. The most startling, perhaps. was the guarantee of bonds of a company which will manufacture motion-pictures. In this instance, the best and perhaps the most novel safeguard of the civic funds Is a provision that bonds shall not be marketed until the producer of the films has a market for his films. It is whispered that many a potentially successful movie Is reposing in vaults because all the movie houses are booked with attractions provided under contract by the big companies which dominate the industry.

If Babe Ruth is beaten by his walloping young teammate, Lou Gehrig, in the 1927 race for home run honors it will be the first time In nine years that the battering Bambino, In full health and strength and during a full (season, has bowed to any rival. Ruth has been outslugged twice in eight seasons of home run carnage, on both occasions by Rogers Hornsby, but the Babe had a good llbi each time. . 1lri-'192S VnlRutV. kfte&i,ban-.

Starting late Ruth made a gallant effort to overtake Hornsby but fell seven homers short, their respective totals being 42 and 35. Again in 1925 Hornsby got the advantage of an early start, while the Babe was out of action with hi,famou stomach-ache. The "Rajah" led the pummelling parade that season with 39 homers while the invalided Ruth, below his customary form even when be did return to the lineup, collected only 25. The only other year, outside of the current campaign, when Ruth's supremacy has been checked was in 1923 when the Yankee clouter was tied with Cy Williams of the PbilUe at 41 homers apiece. BOY BLKTEIt Gehrig, the "Boy Buster," has hit as many home runs this season, so far, as he did in his two previous campaigns with the Yankees put together.
