K. Buckley, Mm Iteftual Monday, December 3, 1028 CANADIAN NATIONAL EARNINGS The fact that the Canadian National Railways is making good is matter for'gerieral satisfaction among the people of Canada. The changes from the time when Sir Henry Thornton took bverfthtf conduct of' railway affairs is so marked that it is impossible to avoid noting it. While the country has been prosperous and the prosperity is naturally reflected in the-railway, most of the credit must be given to Sir Henry Thornton, president of the road, who has unified the system and placed it on an equality with the other great system of Canada. Canada has been fortunate in having such a man for the position.

This would be a work for statesmanship. It should not be carried crut by a private company, but by either the C. P. R. or the C. N. R., or by both jointly. Enough tinkering has been done already.

Gibbons and Thor Johnson, well known local citi zens, who are presumed te have been drowned last Tuesday night at Hartley Bay, where they were hunting, provincial police officers returned to Prince Rupert aboard the gas boat Zenardi at 10:30 yes-' terday morning. Grent depth of the water around the scene of the . now practically certain double , fatality, together with the large! area that would have to be comb-. cd, made dragging operations! practically ineffectual. Officers! who conducted the search were Staff Sergeant Alex McNeill and Constables Potterton and Robb. No further clue as to the fate of the two missing men was found. ! Other local citizens who assist-j ed in the search, including sev-j eral members of the party who were with Gibbons and Johmfon at the time of their drowning, after! scouring Hartley Bay for a couple of days, are remaining in the neighborhood, H Is now practically conceded that Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Johnson lost their lives by drowning. The police, while carrying out dragging operations, founn the water so cold that they believe it would have been impossible for anyone thrown In to remain long on the surface. The fact that the two men were heavily weighted with hunting clothes and am munition, together with the depth of the water, lends to the opinion that their bodies may never come to the surface. There are strong tidal currents at the point where the tragedy is believed to have occured. The police acknowledge assistance given them iri.thVdraggJnic operations by Capt. Charles Lar-kin of the Zanardi and J. P. Dougherty. ; An attempt may be made pri vately to recover the bodies with' he use of halibut gear.
