rrhose of Canada Plan to Checkmate Invasion by United States Roads.

SIGNIFICANCE OF MOVES. DOMINION MEANS TO RETAIN COMMERCIAL DOMINANCE OF WESTERN PROVINCES NOW THREATENED BY J. J. HILL. Chicago, Aug. 8. This fall and winter jwill witness the beginning of of an international railroad race between the United States and Canada with the commercial dominance over Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta as a prize. Word has just been received here that the Canadian railroads, al -med at the possibility ofthe great wheat crop of the western provinces being diverted , by American lines through the states to the gulf ports, have determined to provide facilities at any cost to move this increasingly large crop eastward through Ontario and the St. Lawrence river. The completion of the Canadian Northern railroad's new line from Toronto to Sudbury .Ontario, it appears, Is onl ythe first Btep in a comprehensive plan which may call for counter action on the part of our big western roads. Reports that the wheat crop of the western provinces will be 125,00,000 bushels or the largest in their history has helped precipitate matters. This determination by the Canadian railways explains why the Canadian Pacific is rushing the double tracking of its line from Winnipeg to Fort William which is the"neck of the bottle" through which nearly all the grain from the empire of wheat to the west, north and northwest i must pass. Most of this double tracking now is completed. From Port William and Port Arhtur, the twin cities of Thunder Bay, most of the grain is poured out of the bottle to go forward in boats through Lake Superior. Because the bulk of the grain centers upon these ports, the Canadian Northern has built at Port Arthur the greatest grain elevator in the world, one of a capacity of seven million bushels. The first hint of Canoda's new !n1 options was given in a speech by. an officer' of the Canadian Northern at Sudbury when the line was completed to that point early this month, l no ; speech was not reported at the time but sinco then it has been brought to the attention of railroad men of this city, who consider it of the greatest significance. The speaker began his remarks by Baying that they had now proceeded more than one-third of the distance of their march to Port Arthur to con nect with the eastern lines of the Canadian Northern system, and that they would soon be running into Port Arthur over their own rcils or over borrowed rails, thus giving to Western Canada a new outlet for her wheat. He then took ocaslon to vara Canadians generally that yenr by year the west was becoming more important A 1 . 1. . 1 1L. I tu iuo citai, iiiau Hie cjusi, iu tin? weBL and said additional rails alone could prevent the natural community of interest of the western provinces and , the western states from breaking up Canadian national unity. "James J. Hill with five railway lines," he continued "Is tapping at the door of western Canada. If Western Canada Is not given sufficient outlet through the east for her wheat, Mr. Hill will be admitted and the wheat will go south through Galveston instead of cast through Montreal. Once it Is allowed to cross the international boundary line enroute to the European jnrakets through the Galveston gateway, Montreal will cease to be the gateway of our west." s . Already Canada has set a pace in railroad building that has left the tJnited States behind. The Canadian Pacific began the record by completing its lines in 5 years from the time

Naval Oil Burners to Be Experimented With.

Washington, August 8. Attention has been attracted to the coming visit of Rear Admiral John K. Barton, chief engineer, to the Pacific coast because, on the result of his investigation may depend the installation of oil burning furnaces in the ten torpedo boat destroyers authorized at the last session of congress. The naval oil burners have been experimented with at the New York and Norfolk yards and thus far have yielded gratifying results. A competive test of gasoline motorboats is contemplated by the bureau of construction and repair. This is in the effort to determine the best possible type of boat of the gasoline variety for use in the navy. the undertaking was commenced and in half the, time allowed under the contract with the government. Its great competitor in the West, the Canadian Northern, has a unique record of having extended at the rate of a mile a day for 11 years. Canada now has more railroad mileage per capita than any other country on the globe. In spite of the activity in the United States, only 5,874 miles of new road were added to the total mileage of 222,282 during the last year, or an increase of 2.56 per cent. In Canada the total mileage of 21,353 was Increased by 1,492 or 6.9 per cent. The ratio to population is still more striking. Mexico has a population twice as great as that of Canada, but only 356 miles of railroad were laid in Mexico in 1907, or one mile to every 38,218 persons of her eighty-three millions. Canada, with only 6,442,581 inhabitants, constructed a railroad mile for every 4,980. It is this record which Canada proposes in the next twelve months to beat. Engineering plans and estimates have been made by the three largest railroads and work is already In progress or will be undertaken in a dozen different directions. The Grand Trunk Pacific Is pushing its lines past Saskatoon towards Edmonton with its eyes fixed on the new harbor of Prince Rupert as the ultimate terminus of the latest trans-continental project on the continent. The Ca nadian Pacific is building a secondary line; nas already "double-tracked a large part of the way between Winnipeg and Fort William and will add new branches and feeders all the way from Eastern Canada to Vancouver. The Canadian Northern will complete its link between Toronto and Port Arthur. Recently it has built two large bridges, one over the Rainy river at Fort Frances, on the direct line from Winnipeg to Duluth, the other over the North Saskatchewan at Prince Albert, where a short line is to extend to Battleford. Meanwhile railroad men here are awakening to the fact that every day is linking eastern and western Canada more closely togetb er and only an exceptional display of activity on their part will be able to diverf the enormous wheat crop of western Canada through the States to the Gulf and wean Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta away from their commercial allegiance to Mon treal and the East. It is remarkable that the French river should receive railroad service in the year that the Tercentenary of the founding of Quebec by Champlain is being celebrated. The French river was navigated by the French explorer nearly three hundred years ago on his way to stay with the Huron In dians, prior to a raid with them upon the Iroquois south of the St. Law rence. Instead Champlain camped oa the site of the modern Key harbor, discovered when work on the port be gan a year ago. The whdle French river region is a delight to the fisherman canoeist and camper, and already many Americans who know something of sport in Canada have arranged to spend their vacations among the woods and rocks and waters of this hinterland of Georgian Br.y. The Canadian Northern Ootr.rio lines make access to the French river easy, and with the development of mineral traffic from Sellwood to Key harbor and to Toronto, where a smelter capable of employing 15,000 men is planned, the wildcrncsc through which Champlain passed may become one of the most profitable localities on the continent. to special effort by "tonics" and "stimulants" doesn't cure anything, or accomplish any good. Neither does dieting. Indigestion and tbe serious ailments which it induces can be averted and corrected only by natural means. Kodol supplies this natural means.

English Government Spends

Much to Guard Against Work of Suffragettes. OTHER LONDON GOSSIP. CAMPAIGN NOW BEING WAGED AGAINST TERRIBLE MORTALITY IN THE EAST END OF LONDON. Richard Abercorn. London, August 8. Although no one takes the threat made by two suf fragettes to use bombs, if nothing else helped, seriously, the woman's suffrage movement is costing the city of London considerable money be cause of the extra precautions taken to guard the cabinet ministers and mem bers of the parliament. When asked for information on this point the other day Mr. Gladstone in formed the house of commons that on one night wnen a suirragette attacK was feared there were 1,954 extra policemen on duty, and this cost the public considerable money for carfare and refreshments to the policemen who had been on duty more than nine hours. "Will the Home secretary take steps to insure that women sent to prison as political offenders, whether in default of payment of fines or otherwise shall receive the same treatment as men when imprisoned as political offenders?" asked Mr. Claude Hay. "Except where there is an express direction in the statute (as in the case of contempt of court or seditious libel the treatment of a prisoner in prison depends on the order of the court," was Mr. Gladstone's reply. , No disand tinction was made between men women." "Is the home secretary aware," asked Mr. Tim Healey, "that, when Dr. Jameson was imprisoned for what was supposed to be a political offense he was accorded special treatment? As there is considerable feeling with regard to these women, and on account of woman's highly strung temperament, will he show the same consideratoin in this case?" "The case of Dr. Jameson was different," retorted the home secretary. "Will he reconsider the position generally with a view to taking steps in this matter," demanded Mr. Hay. "Really I can not consider it at all. As I have often said before, the matter rests with the discretion of the magistrates. I am not a court of appeal." An interesting experiment will shortly be made with the object of minimizing the, terrible mortality among infants in the east end. It is proposed to found an infants' hospital in the out patients depart ment of which mothers will be taught how to look after their babies The scheme is intended to foster the Interest of poor mothers in the proper care of their children. When. a case is brought into the hospital the phy sician ana nurses will carefully ex plain to the mother how to treat the sick child in its own home, and also methods by which future illnesses may be avoided. The idea owes its origin to Mrs Leverton Harris, wife of the M. P. for Stepney, who, with Mr. Hasted, J. P., Dr. Corner and Dr. Atkinson is organizing an east end baby show today. A parliament of mothers of all de nominations. Protectants, Roman Catholics, Quakers and Jews, was called together to decide about the baby show and they evinced such a keen interest in the treatment neces sary for the rearing of healthy chil dren that it was felt an effort must be made to help them. Socialist M. P.s are beginning to agree with those dukes and other peers who have let their town houses to rich Americans that entertaining throughout the London season is an expensive luxury. Nothing that has occurred in par liament this session has pleased the socialists so much as the decision of Sir Alfred Jacoby to reduce the price of strawberries from a shilling to eighten pence a portion cream and sugar included the portion, according to the chairman of the kitchen committee, being sufficient to satisfy a socialist member and a friend. For the last month or two the socialist members have complained bitterly of the inroads made on their pockets by entertaining. They say that this year heavy burdens have fallen on them on account of the great number of strangers in London, and that their salaries of $1,000 a year are unequal to the strain of entertaining oa a large scale. The fact is they have been too ambitious. Few features of the inner life of the present parliament havo been so striking as the manner in which the socialist members have risen to their social obligations oa becoming members of the "best club in Europe." There are many social3t members who were so elated at being elected to the house of commons that they pressed their friends to share its delights. These friends all came, and their experience made excellent material for speeches on Clerk enwell Green, showing the luxurious habits of the idle rich. They came so often this year, strawberries and cream at a shilling a portion (enough for two and noted how the wicked rich lived that their hosts ibegaa to wish they would take thrrif

Ft. Myer Tests Will Be Important.

Washington, Aug. 8. The military eyes of the world will be on the airships that are to be tested at Fort Myer for results are expected that will prove of practical value in warfare. For this reason it was at first proposed to have the tests made with extreme secrecy, but such a howl sent up from aeronauts all over the country that the W ar Department thought it advisable to remove the ban of non publicity. Still it is thought that certain details connected with the trial will be withheld from the curious eyes of military attaches of foreign governments. The test will take place during August. information from the society papers in the future. Socialist members are now making 1 it clear that unless their guests have I a title tney must oe expected to pay .... . . .-, themselves for what they cat at St. Stephen's. But any duchess, mar chioness, or even a countess who comes to tea with a socialist member can be sure 01 excellent strawberries and cream. NEXT RHODES EXAM TO BE IN OCTOBER College Authorities of This Country Notified. Washington, Aug. 8.

RAPIDLY GROWS n Last Four Years Prohi Territory Is Doubled. New York, August 8. A statement of the present status of prohibition n the United States has been given out by the National Prohibition organ ization based on a report of National Chairman Charles R. Jones, presented by the prohibition national committee. It says: "During the past four years the amount of prohibition territory has been doubled and 20,000,000 peo ple added to those living in prohibition cities, counties and states, making an aggregate of over 40,000,000 now by their own choice in saloonfree districts. START WAS HOVEL Investigation Discloses Make up of Independence Party Convention. MANY HEARST EMPLOYES. Chicago, 111., Aug. 8. Under X-ray analysis the roster of delegates to the Independence League's first convention at which William Randolph Hearst uttered the keynote war cry against things in general, bore an interesting resemblance to the payroll of the Hearst publications. It was noticed that there were many vociferous voices among the delegates which reminded one of those which cry "Extry" on the street corners of many cities. In explanation it was stated that In the Texas delegation Tracy Adams, a newspaper "hustler" or circulation "pusher" was an active delegate. "Chi" Red, who draws pay from the Hearst coffers for the same sort of work, was an important delegate from Maine. Tom Butts, a circu lation man from Indiana, was a dele gate from that state. "Mose" Annenberg, whose work is securing subscribers to the Hearst papers in Wisconsin, also was a delegate. "Tommy" Brasky, a newsboy who Is well known about Clark and Madison streets in Chicago, acted as a dignified representative of Missouri. Eddie Burke, a central district driver, also was present as a delegate, cheering when ever the upraised voice of a speaker indicated that Hearst employes were expected to enthuse. "Dummy" Hlggins, driver of one of the Hearst newspaper wagons in Chicago, and his brother "Al" were delegates from Kentucky. The narrative of Jacob I. Shoppard, of Fort Scott, Kas., the man who tried to nominate Bryan, told after he had applied arnica to his bruises and now clothes to his back, was a sidelight on the Hearst uplift In behalf of the "common people." He related how he was seized for ejectment, how he was "roughhoused" and finally rescued from the delegates by the detail of police present. It was he who charged that the platform was changed before submitted to the convention. The start which "independence" made was novel. BEGINS WORK ON SI Steel Company Now Improving Monster Plant.
