As explained by the directors, the conditions have" been adverse and another season may change the record. Even private companies often lose money. THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA The Canadian government has been between the devil and the deep $ea in regard to its budget. The Conservatives have been complaining that the tariff is not sufficiently high and the Progressives and other farmer candidates have been asking that it be lowered. The Liberals have taken the middle view, but the result has been that while the farmers voted against the Conservative amendment, they both voted against the government policy. If the government had been in danger of defeat, possibly the farmers would have voted differently. Because the government had a good majority over all, the farmers were free to express their views without endangering the gov ernment mm jirecjpiLaiing election. 1 1 -..'

Born in York, England, on May 25, 1852, Mr. Baker came to this country alone at the age of 13 years. The boy began to establish a career for himself early, and after passing through several stages of progress towards success, found himself, at the age of 22, private secretory of His Majesty's representative in the Dominion. Later he bfloame attached to the Treasury Department and was assistant secretary of the Treasury Board at Ottawa just before the ' " C.I'. R. was organized.

In his account of the matter, Mr. Baker recounts that "the matter had passed out of my mind" when on the night of February 18, 1881, he received a message front Mr. Mclntyre. "I was busy late at night, in my office in the Eastern Block at Ottawa, preparing the estimates for Parliament, when a boy walked in with a telegram," Mr. Baker related.

On the way to Winnipeg there were short stops at Chicago and St. Paul, where Mr. Baker had an opportunity of looking into the American system of railwsy accounts. A special train took the party to Winnipeg. Those with Mr. Baker were: A. B. Stickney, general superintendent, William Harder, assistant traffic manager. Joel May, superintendent, and F. C Butterfielu, master mechanic. "This party was the original traffic organization of the Canadian Pacific Railway," Mr. Baker recorded. "Before we arrived at Winnipeg," ha (continued, "Mr. Stickney de cided that he wanted me to act as his assistant and I was accordingly appointed to the position of assistant to the general superintendent." Various Appointments In Winnirjeir. Mr. Baker held several "positions successively in the C.P.R. He was purchasing agent, assistant to general manager local treasurer, assistant to general superintendent, executive agent and filled several other positions, lie was also connected with the Manitoba and North West Railway. In 1901 he left Winnipeg for Montreal. On that occasion he was presented with a solid silver service by the business community of the western city. During his connection with the railway, Mr. Baker came into contact with several royal personages. He was in charge of the royal train over the C.P.R. lines during the several visits of the Prince and Princess of Wales, now the reigning monarchs; Prince Arthur of Con-naught, and Prince Fushimi. In return for his services to these royal visitors he was presented with several testimonials and received several titles. Among his titles were: Commander of the Royal Victorian Order, Commander of the Order of the Sacred Treasure of Japan, Esquire of the Order of Si. John of Jerusalem, and Freeman of the City of York. He held audiences with T'nei; Majesties King George and Queen Mary at Buckingham Palace I 1911. Dr. Rowntree, "we expect the truth, and I think we always Ret it, unpleasant as it may bo.
