CANADIAN NORTHERN FINANCES EXPLAINED Sir William Mackenzie's Statement Covering the Construction of the Line With Which He Is So Prominently Identified—He Shows How the Money Has Been Handled Sir William Mackenzie recently issued a statement on tho Canadian Northern Railway system and its relation to public assistance. He commences by dealitig witn the charges that the C.N.R. system has been subsidized in excess of its legitimate requirements and that the money voted by Parliament had been diverted by Mackenzie, iviann & Co. for their private purposes, and offers an explanation by stating that he gives the official figures in the case frankly. The Canadian Northern, he says, is not an exception to the general statement that there have been placed on tbe statute books of Canada millions of dollars of cash subsidies that have nevelr been earned and millions of dollars of bond guarantees that have never progressed further than the original authorizing legislation. He says: "Guarantees have been granted by provincial governments for provincial lines which have never been commenced, which may never be built, and which, in some cases, «were never asked for by the company. These guarantees, with unearned cash subsidies to certain branch lines within the system, are charged up by statisticians, casually referring to the bluebook, as againsl the constructed mileage of the C.N. R. system. Resume of Construction. "So much for the origin of representations that have taken place. Now,*'as to the facts: The Canadian Northern Railway Company has under construction and expects to have completed by the end of 1914, 9,943 miles of railway. There are completed 869 miles, and under operation at present 7,152 miles. The completed and uncompleted equipment to December 31, 1913, ?303,- 319,232.

SHARKS $10 EACH McCaffery&Gibbons Co., ?20,992,G66 In cash subventions, or about 6 per cent, of the total cost of the railway mileage construction. The figures are correct. They include all the cash subsidies received from public sources as a set-off against the $303,000,000 of costs before mentioned. When compared with the cash subventions given to either of the transcontinental railways, or when compared with the great economic good which has been and is being accomplished by the C.N.R. system, these figures must disabuse the public mind of the idea that, the C.N.R. has been over-subsidized, its bonds over- guaranteed, or, to put it mildly, that there has been even an opportunity to re-invest the subsidies in outside ventures. Matter of Land Grants. "The critic at this period naturally asks, 'What about the land grants?' Let me explain in a few words that published statements have almost hopelessly misrepresented the facts of the case. Briefly, the grants were made between 1882 and 1890 to three companies. The Lake Manitoba Railway and Canal Company, the Winnipeg and Hudson's Bay Railway- Co., and the Manitoba and Southeastern Railway Co., for the construction of certain defined lines in Manitoba and the then Northwest Territories. The land at that time had little value, as, by reason of Inadequate transportation facilities, there was no eagerness to take up farming in Western Canada, ana under the homestead regulations the few settlers coming Into the country obtained all the land they required for the discharge of the homestead duties. The promoters, who had more confidence than finance, were anxious for western development, and hawked the charters from one end of Canada to the other, seeking in vain support from the financial interests. The promoters of the Winnipeg and Hudson's Bay Railway Company visited New York, London and Paris in a fruitless endeavor to arouse an j interest in the undertaking. Years after the land grants had been au- 1 thoi-ized by Parliament, Mackenzie and Mann bought the charters carrying the laud grants and built the railways. Turned Over to Company. "They did what the financiers of Canada, of the United States, of England and of the Continent repeatedly refused to do. After the railways had been constructed aud the statutory provisions for the grants discharged, Mackenzie and Mann owned the land in exactly the same way as the man in the street owns his watch. If they had then retired from railway building and had retained the lands, they would have been in an enviable position iif today's world of finance. One Would not need to go back far in Canadian history to find examples of men Who have done this very thing. "However, this wns not the course of action. The lands were turned over to the Canadian Northern Railway Company, and used for issuing land grant bonds. Lands were sold from time to time at market values. and their proceeds applied In redemption' of these bonds. I'P I" December 31st, 1913, there were Issued $24,000,000 of land granl bonds. The land grants made to the companies, the charters and rights of which were secured by Mackenzie and Mann, total 4,000,000 acres. The company got the benefit of these lands.' After dealing with the work of development done by the Canadian Northern Railway in Western Canada, the colonization work and the bonds guaranteed by the Dominion and several provincial governments, Sir William Mackenzie denied that either he or Sir Donald Mann had at any time used the funds of the Canadian Northern Railway for their personal advantage, as has been hinted at by reputable Journalists. FEBRUARY CUSTOMS SHOW INCREASE Left to right, we have here John Tener, president of the National League, and August Herrmann, t. e president of the Cincinnati Baseball Club and chairman of the National Baseball Commission. It will be up to these two men to decide whether or not Charles W. Murphy, the president of the Chicago National League Club, is to remain in organized baseball. Murphy, who seems to have stepped Into Horace Fogel's shoes as the "goat" of the National League, says he will not be driven out of baseball, and that If they fTener and Herrmann) attempt any "impeachment" methods he will figl t back, even though it means the disruption of organized baseball, and the success of the outlaw or Federal League. The present rumpus was brought about by the sudden ungrateful discharging of Johnny Evers as manager of the Chicago National Baseball Club. I City Has Had Offer For Bonds I It has been learned that another offer has beeu made to the city for a part of its bonds.-This was brought before a special meeting of the council held yesterday, following, it is said, a message from the mayor, who is in the south. Tbe Oner was 87 for 20-year bonds. The amount offered to be taken at that price was $385,000 worth. The council, it is said, refused to consider the offer and the mayor has been so advised. &KHKl<«KH«KHKHaWqfrt^^ As Compared With the Corresponding Month Last Year the Income Was About Half As Much Greater --Receipts At the Local Office Amounts to Little Over $13,000 The customs returns at this port continue to increase In volume. Those or February show a marked advance over what February of last year had to its credit. The figures for February, 1913, were $9,154.26. For February, 1914, ihe increase was ¥3,SSC01 over this, making it $13,- 040.27. This increase which is in common with the record for some months past is indicative of the growing importance of this city as a commercial centre. It shows that well on for half as much more in value was imported in the month just ended as there was for the same period a year ago. The customs returns are a good indication of the business life of a place and Prince Rupert has every reason to feel satisfied with the showing that is made. The indications are now for a most, prosperous summer this year, followed by siill better things in 1915 and with a tremendous impetus to trade in 1916, when Prince Rupert will be on the way to becoming an important metropolis. Already there is much planning for the coming year. Inquiries are very insistent from the outside with respect to the city and the district. In u mining way there are many inquiries, both by men who write and by those who personally visit Hie city. The district will be alive with men this season. The continued mild weather and tho absence of deep snow in the mountains has had the effect of starling many prospectors to preparing for taking to the hills. There will be a large number out before long. Port Edward has a total docking length of 16,960 feet. OFFICIAL WAS DEEP IN POLITICS SUSPENSION OK SUPERINTEND- ENT OF TRENT VALLEY CANAL TAKES EFFECT..

Leading Irish Unionist papers, like the Irish Times and the Dublin Daily Express, warn the leaders that exclusion in impossible. The National ists regard exclusion as equivalent to defeat were it to be proposed by the Government save tor a strictly limited term of years.

DuVernet, Bishop of Caledonia, dated from Prince Rupert, will be read Willi interest: As an example of how special circumstances cull for a liberal interpretation of ii rule drawil ii|i I'm ordinary conditions, may i be permitted to mention an incident which 1 regard as one of the most precious experiences of my life'.' It was live or six years ago. Easter was approaching. For many months 1 had been the only representative of the Christian ministry in the town of Prince Rupert, which was struggling into existence on the shore of Kuien Island. Members of all denominations had been attending our services, I told them that as a bishop of the Anglican Church, which was first on this coast by many years, I counted it a great privilege to minister to them, and as I knew" many valued exceedingly their Easter Communion, I should be glad to welcome to our Easter celebration those who were communicants of other churches—"all such," I added, "as shall be religiously and devoutly disposed." The scene on Hint Easter Day was a memorable one. Roman Catholics, On1 odox Greeks, Lutherans, Preshyterians, Methodists, Baptist? a.-, well :i- Anglicans, came. Together we sang mosl heartily, "The Church's One Foundation I* Jesus Christ, Hi :■ Lord." Together vye knell side by Bide and partook nf those s;:i ; od 'inents which, i ariously interpreted, meanl for each and all the Holy Communion, the Fellow ship Divine. and especially young officers, are disposed to claim that, their calling gives them privileges above the civilians. 1 shall know how lo see that due respect is given to the members of the army where necessary, that is, on the field of battle, where it is their duly to defend their fellow- citizens with their lives. "But beyond this, no soldier, no matter what his rank or standing, shall permit, himself to misuse one of my citizens, ii is they, nol I, who support the army, and tins army, whose command is entrusted to me receives its daily bread from them. Arrest, cashiering and the death penalty will be the consequences which every person disregarding ihis order may expect from my relentless se verity." The later order of 1820 was prompted by more troublous times when the sovereigns of the Holy Alliance feared popular uprising? iinil revolutions. It authorized the senior officer in u garrison to intervene and use the forces at his command to restore order nol only when requested by the civil authorities Inn also without such requisition if the authorities were slow or hesl- tant to request assistance or were prevented by circumstances from issuing the appeal or if bo thought the police force Inadequate to re- tore order unaided. Various laws governing the rights and restrictions of the military under such conditions have been enacted since the establishment of the German Empire and few persons ex- cepl those called upon to peruse the confidential instructions were aware, before the Zaborn incident, that the order of 1821 was still in existence and contained in the latest Prussian Service instructions. .Many jurists are extremely doubtful whether it ever was valid for Alsace-Lorraine, and the general opinion is that it was cancelled by an order of 1837. Of its unconstitutionality there is little doubt expressed except among the jurists ol ultra-conservative leanings. mm mm S. S. PRINCE GEORGE FRIDAY 9 a. m. 1 S. S. PRINCE JOHN SUNDAY 6 p.m. FOI!

PLUMBING SHOULD iNew Record For Sustained Aero Fight BE SANITARY /j THE NEED OP GENERAL STAN- j DARDS BEING ADOPTED IX THE COUNTRY. Question Dealt With in Address ol Organizer Before i hose Interested. In the Dominion of Canada we have no recognized universal standards regarding sanitary plumbing ami ventilation., but are governed by a multiplicity of laws and bylaws, adopted by.the governing bodies of our cities and towns and enforced according to their own interpretra- tlon." With these words, »lr, John VV. Bruce, general organizer of the United Association of Plumbers and Steaiulltters, prefaced an address al the fifth annual meeting of the Coin- mission of Conservation on the subject of Ihe present chaotic state of sanitary law in Canada, and the need for its unification. In the course of his address, Mr. Bruce emphasized the importance of sanitary plumbing In its relation to public health, lie compared Montreal, with a death rale or 20 per thousand, with Toronto, which has a death rate of 12.S, and attributed the difference in large pari, to the more lax enforcement of sanitary regulations in the former. In many enough conveniences, neither were they kept properly clean. In apartment houses, conservation of space was such an important item that ventilation was sadly neglected. He blamed speculative building for the unsatisfactory conditions in many private houses. The speculative builder considered outside appearance more than proper sanitation, workingmen's houses, as these men were less able to protect themselves against the negligence of unscrupulous builders. A great need, very much overlooked in Canada, was public comfort stations. These should be erected not merely in parks and pleasure resorts, but in the busiest portions of our cities, where the need was greatest. As it was, hotels and public buildings had to bear a burden that the cities themselves should shoulder, with the result that the conveniences in these places were sadly overtaxed. Sanitary drinking fountains should also be provided at public expense. In conclusion, Mr, Bruce pointed out that satisfactory conditions would never obtain so iong as each city or town had its own regulations. Plumbers travelling from one plate to another had to familiarize themselves with new laws, and some!imes to pass new examinations in every place. Moreover, dwellers in rural districts, beyond the reach of urban influence, were not protected by any legal standard. The solution, he believed, could only be found in a Dominion law, setting up a uniform standard from coasl lo coast, leaving each municipality free to supplement such standard by bylaws designed to secure adaptation to special local conditions. Bruno Langer, the German aviatcr, was given a most enthusiastic reception when he alighted from his leroplane after breaking the world's record for sustained flight. Langer w.'.s in the air for fourteen hours and five minutes. The best previous record for continuous aeroplane flight was thirteen hours and twenty-two minutes. Experts estimate that the Atlantic Ocean could be crossed in fifteen hours, just longer than Langer spent In the air. few minutes ways fought the battles for the hotel men. Mr. Rowell stated there was no justification fo- the letter which Mr. Evanturel had written to the Hotel Keepers' Association of Ontario. He would have something to say on the question later, and Mr. Evanturel himself would, no doubt, supplement the statement which he had made regarding the alleged alliance between tbe license commission and the Hotel Association of Prescott County. CHURCH OPENING ANNIVERSARY METHODISTS WILL TODAY AND ON MONDAY EVENING MARK EVENT. SENSATION IN THE ONTARIO HOUSE Peculiar Letter Written by Member for Prescott to Licensed and Allied Trades. A sensation has been sprung in Evanturel, M.P.P. for Prescott, and son of the late Speaker, chalked that an alliance existed between the license commission and the liquor men In his county. Mr. .1. II. Ferguson, M.P.P. for Grenville, In rebutting the charges, startled the House by reading a let-l ter addressed by Mr. Evanturel In the Ontario Trades Association. Mr, K vii n tn id's letter was to the I effect thai he had always been a I true friend of the association and, prepared to vote against his leader, Mr. x. W, Howell, upon the question of abolishing the bar. He stated that lie was a poor man, living only upon bis small sessional allowance, ami expected the association would see Its way to help Mm -along by pa; Ing al leasi $10,000, payable $3,000 down and the balance In Instalments. For that sum he was prepared lo be the defender of the association and introduce In the Legislature any amendments to the Government measure to restrict the liquor traffic. He added that be would sign any agreement the boara of association would require to light for the liquor Irade in the Legislature. In conclusion, lie stated that his late father, Hon. A. Evanturel, ox- Speaker of the Legislature, had al- Puri Edward has fine facilities. waterfront Special Services Will Be Held Today Wi... Grand Concert .Vondiiy Xiglit.

Evening subject, "Does Ood Care?" SUGAR CHIEF FOOD IN SOUTH ANTARCTIC EXPLORER PLACES GREAT RELIANCE OX THAT SUPPLY ON TRIP. Winter In the Antarctic Tunis Faces Gi-een It Is Reported by Him. Sir Ernest Shackleton has been describing some of the physical hardships which he and his conr- rades will have to face on their forthcoming expedition to the Antarctic. Dealing with the subject of food for travellers in that region, he emphasized the value of sugar, the craving for which, he said, is most acute. Sir Ernest. Shackleton added: "To show you how valuable to the explorer sugar is, there was an occasion when we marched 321 miles, drawing laden sledges, in 14 1-2 days, Every two hours we took two or three lumps of sugar each. Within ten minutes of eating this we could feel the heat going through our bodies. The highest temperature of that march was 62 degrees below zero. "Talking of temperature, it is a remarkable fact that while high up on the plateau our thermometers would not register any body temperature except just after we had finished eating. Just after eating the mercury rose to within a point or two of normal. "This curious circumstance lias suggested a new arrangement of the hours of inarch. Night and day in the ordinary sense will not exist for us. On the coming expedition a 19-hour day is to be adhered to. On awakening one hour will be devoted to preparation; after this there will be a four-hour march and a second hour's rest. Sleep time, which formerly lasted from 7 or S p.m. till 6 a.m., will be shortened to eight hours— the period after which loss of heat becomes more important than gain in rest, We shall by this means save thirty-live hours in a week, and do ibout eight hours of marching a day. The arrangement will be better for both men and dogs. "We shall lake with us no stimulants except tea and cocoa. We drink the tea at mid-day to refresh us for afternoon march. The cocoa is taken last thing at night to preserve body beat during the hours of sleep. The greatest temptation which assails an Arctic explorer is the desire lo drink on tlie march. At his feet lies potential liquid in unlimited quantity. But the snow is at 40 degrees '. elow zero and must be melted in the mouth. The heat required to melt It is much too precious to be thrown away, representing as it does strength and energy. "II was extraordinary how we used to crave for differen' kinds of foods at different times. When eating meat exclusively we craved starchy food. Seal blubber, which in winter quarters would have made us ill, was searched for eagerly on the march. A man who found a piece of blubber in these circumstances believed he had discovered a prize. We liked thick, fat puddings. Light articles of diet, like jellies, How Charges Are Made Under Parcel Post System * For the convenience of readers who niay wish to inform themselves on the rates to be paid under the new- Parcel Post System in force in Canada the rates of postage on parcels mailed in the Province of British Columbia are given.

The 20-mile rate also obtains In cases where the 20-mile area extends into an adjacent Province. During the organization iieriod covering the months of February, March and April, 1914, an additional fee of FIVE CENTS to be prepaid by postage stamps will be charged on each parcel mailed for local delivery iu places where the letter carrier system Is In operation. During the months of February, March and April, 1914, no packet will be accepted for transmission by Parcel Post weighing more than six pounds. An additional charge lo meet the extra cost of transportation will be made on parcels addressed to or posted at offices In certain outlying districts when such parcels have to be conveyed more than 100 miles by a continuous stage service, such districts to be designated by the Postmaster-General. into which we could nol get our teeth, were useless to us. "One of the finest dishes we ever tasted on returning to winter quarters consisted of the contents of ten tins of sardines laid out on fat bacou and covered with pastry. This chef d'oeuvre concluded a twelve- course meal. Never once did our thoughts turn to alcohol. Never Catch Cold. "Catching cold is almost unknown in the Antarctic. The only time we ever suffered from a cold was just after we had opened a bale of English clotbes to serve them out for winter wear. The germs apparently were lying dormant, having been inhibited by the cold. They woke up on being heated. The men whose duties took them into the open recovered in a day. The others suffered during four or five days. "Polar explorers commonly get bad colds on returning to civilization. The reason, in Sir Ernest's opinion, is that the white blood corpuscles "phagocytes"—whose duty it is to kill hostile germs-—become atrophied or "lose their skill" in the pure Antarctic air. He added: "There was an interesting Illustration of this when the Nlmrod anchored near an island to the south of New Zealand. The men went ashore and ran about naked on the beach. When they came on board they found themselves bitten all over the body by sandflies. Their bodies swelled up terribly. We reached New Zealand three days later and then were surprised to learn that while all those who had not been bitten contracted colds, those who had been remained unaffected. Apparently had wakened up. "Absence of sunlight has a most peculiar effect on the uuman complexion. When we emerged from four months of night our faces were green and yellow. The sun, however, restored our normal color. Another curious point noted was that all the fifteen men of the shore party were discovered to have blue-gray or blue eyes. "The Antarctic explorer is not so favorably situated as the Arctic. In summer 100 different kinds of flowering plants are to be found within- 500 miles of the North Pole. The tracks of the Arctic hare are met with 100 miles from the Pole. In the case of the South Pole, on the contrary, no flowering plants exist within 1700 miles. Within 750 miles ail animal and plant life Is non-existent." . o— SIR RICHARD ON P.G.E. LINE PREMIER SPEAKING IN LEGISLA. TUBE POINTS TO GREAT BENEFIT. While Linking Alaska Willi South Will Open up Hiitifdi Columbia Also. Victoria, Feb. 28.—"1 believe the time has now come when the building of a railroad through the northern part of British Columbia to the Yukon and Alaska should take place. The authorities at Washington and at Ottawa are both as one so far in a hearty endeavor for some prompt co-operation in the building ot this line," said Premier McBride, at the afternoon session of the House. He discussed the possibility of the early evolution of the same, which be is known to have had closely at heart for many months. The Premier was speaking to the second reading of the Pacific Great Eastern bill and took he occasion lo point out that the proposed ex- SALE OF LOGS. Applications for the purchase of 39,926 feet of logs lying in Kum-ea- lon Inlet.

He said the Fort lieorge line would go directly north io Parsnip River beore branching into the Peace River country, and this section of the line might well be used as the first step of an ex- tenslon to Alaska. "The building of this railway would put Alaska on the map," said the Premier. "British Columbians occupy the unique position of being located between the great unions of this continent both to north and south.' While the construction of this arterial line opens up tremendous possibilities for our cousins beyond the boundary line, yet we must not forget that it will develop the enormous potential wealth of the northern area of this province, and do more than anything else that could be done to cement the friendship and amity of the great nations of this continent."
