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. From the Dominion and
the Provincial Governments and
from municipalities, up to the same
date, there have been received by
the companies forming the Canadian
Northern Railway system, while under control of Mackenzie, Mann    &

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.

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.

Leading Irish Unionist papers, like
the Irish Times and the Dublin Daily

to defeat were it to be proposed by
the Government save tor a strictly
limited term of years. There may
possibly be a split in the Liberal

The Unionists, who now recognize

I1ROAD CHRISTIANITY.
The following letier to the London
Times in he Itight Rev,, F. II. 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.

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.

Peculiar Letter Written by Member
for Prescott to    Licensed and

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

$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

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

the mouth. The heat required to

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.

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."

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

The Premier was speaking to the
second reading of the Pacific Great

tension into the Peace River country would serve as an initial step
towards the construction of a north
and south railway. 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."
