THE

It
is
customary
in
the
railway
business
to
jive
special
rates
for
earning
commodities,
depending
a
Urge
extent
on
how
much
!
ilo
the
traffic
will
stand.
Just
now
the
railways
are
giving
a
rate
of
I
$5.75
a
ton
for
carrying
coal
from
Alberta
to
Ontario
with
the
dou
ble
purpose
of
encouraging
the
coal
industry
in
Alberta
and
pro-
;

all
was

'
gotiations
in

city
continued
but
without

Canadian
fuel.
Whether
the
coal
ran
be
carried
for
that
amount
seem'
doubtful
but
the
industry
Alberta
provides
a
good
deal
iin
of
business
for
the
railways
In
taming
passengers
and
supplies.
This
business
is
created
partly
through
the
low'
rate
on
carrying
the
coal.
Apply
this
principle
to
the
carrying
of
cars
between
Prince
Rupert
and
Hazelton.
At
present
the
buMncss
amounts
to
very
little,
People
cannot
afford
to
pay
the
irate
demanded.

n-
We
are
told
that
the
usual
rate

is
double
the
rate
of
carrying

The
one-way
passenger

to

is

That
would
indicate
a
reasonable
car
rati
of
$15.
To
Terrace
the
pas
senger
rate
is
$3.80.
A
car
rate
of
$11
would
therefore
be
well
within
the
bounds
of
reason.
If
It
were
made-
possible
to
ring
cars
to
Prince
Rupert
at
the
rate
mentioned,
it
would
pay
the
city
to
go
out
after
the
business
of
those
touring
in
their
cars
in
British

At

it
is
out

the
question.
It

got
the

of
driving

they
would
pcnd
a
good

the
people
there
would
use
the
railways

In

there
would
