I do. not believe that the congestion on the railways, which has caused .such serious loss and inconvenience to the commercial and indus trial interests of the country the past year,' will ever be relieved .until an officiel with full power.to regulate th'e traffic on the various lines has been appointed. The British Government early in the days after war broke out, dealt with this problem in the manner suggested, and the results have been very satisfactory. It is intolerable that the present, situation should be allowed, to continue. The economic-loss to the country is heavy and could to a- large extent be avoided by enforced co-operaton between the various lines. . What England Has Done The Master of Transportation ui England has absolute power over the routing o'f traffic. If he finds that one line has more, buiness than it .can conveniently handle while another line has less than it can take care'of.he switches the traffic from the busy line to, the idle one. the result is a greatly improved service for all concerned. I am only suggesting this as a Avar measure, and would not for a moment think of proposing that this official should have control or direction of operation His duties would be confined to the supervision of the moment of ��������� traffic for the'convenience of the public. How It Works in Montreal The Montreal harbor board has an official whose duty it is to handle all the railway trafllc on the wharves. This prevents any clashing or discrimination in the delivery of goods to the vessels. If there were a similar official with the authority of the Government at. his back, .to-.con trol the traffic on the railways, there is no reason why the home traffic, as well as the export business could not be handled to the advantage of all concerned. In . England, the Master of Transportation has the power to take rolling stock and put it in the terminals that require it. ��������� Steps should be taken by the Government to prevent a recurrence of the conditions of the past winter, Sailings have had to be countermanded and steamers have been-held up because the railways did not deliver the freight to them���������Ex.-/ PATRIOTIC FUND List of contributors to the Canadian-Patriotic Fund form Clayburn works.

It was election day for the two young ladies who were running for the representatives of this, district for the carnival in Westminster. Mss Dorothy Parton and Miss Florence McPhee were the two young ladies. Miss McPhee was el- TODAYWAS A REAL MAYDAY \"Wako and call'mo early mother, dear,\" were probably the last -words that many Abbotsford girls said on Thursday evening, but few expected to be called early on such a bright ancl sunshiny morning as was this Friday morning, the fourth annual May Day in .Abbotsford. No brighter one ever greeted children who waked on a holiday morning���������and it kept bright all clay too, being one of the grandest and most ��������� perfect ever enjoyed by-any holiday, makers. Every boy and girl, and many of their elders of xibbotsford and district, retire this oyenin'g feeling that again their May Day had been honored with natures broad smile���������even if 'tlie weather was brought from New Westminster by acting- mayor Johnson'?

In other words, the production of the commodity is the growers outlook and takes that responsibility fully on himself. His responsibilities Bhould end' there, but-.they don't. Why is it that after months of toil, of careful attention ancl protection that the grower cannot receive his returns on a f. o. b. basis? The only answer we have.been able to get to this question .is that it is'nt done, is not customary. There- , fore!the grower after producing his stuff ancl delivering for shipment has to take the risk in transit, the. further risk of inspection at lon'g- de- distance points, the risk of congest- the ed markets at point of consignment.

Regally seated in front was the May Queen, Miss Nelson and her maids of honor <*��������� to the right, and on the left was the ex-Queen Miss Scotvold and her maids.' The chairman reminded the audience that last year on the annual day it was hoped that the war would be ended, but sorry to say it was still going on. However it was the wish\" of the soldiers that the children should enjoy themselves, and thus was the reason for their happy privilege to buy at a cash price and sell to whoever he likes at whatever he likes. In the past it has been the brokers privilege to get lots of stuff and sell it at what it will bring, particular. pains being taken to see that selling price covered full brokerage expenses. While are brokers who never buy outright, there are others who thro correct buying are in the, field to. pay a fair cash f. o. b. price to grower, and thus reieving him of the risk of long-distance marketing. This is -a good move in the right direction and a boon to the fruit and vegetable industry of the province.'

The announcement that the fruit- gathering army of women and girls that is shortly to invade the Fraser Valley will be enoouragod to wear the masculine garb, is an item of news which.'shows'that necessity sometime ,\" rises superior,to fashion and custom. The British sisters of these workers have already lod the way to trousers and thousands of them are now working on the farms of the Uunited Kingdom. Such a departure, in a land that, is moro conservative with regard to convention and tradition than we have in the west, indicates that resourcefulness has been brought to tho forefront of things. It was a decided innovation for tho women of Britain, many of them persons of education,-to become agricultural laborers. But it was a greater defiance of ancient prejudice on their part when they discarded the drapery.that had been transmitted from past ages as proper of their- sex. ' Ancient precedent may no doubt be found for tho resolve of these feminine agriculturists., Leaving aside that mediaeval edition of the Bible which declares that when our first' parents- became conscious of their- paucity ��������� .-of garments they \"sewed-fig leaves together and made themselves breeches,\" there seems to be. a likelihood that -when the , savages' in Britain ���������.. were* attiring themselves in the. skins of wild animals and painting the exposed parts of their bodies with \"wood,\" the'women' of the ��������� older '��������� ��������� civilization of China- were-already, wearing those nether;garments which, as a matter of convenience and propriety; have .never'- been \" excelled. One reason of the'exodus of women berry-pickers \"to the-Fraser.Valley is to obviate-.a- previously supposed neces- ��������� slty:)forr; Chinamen. It is rather noteworthy' that they have discovered no better* scheme that that invented' by 'Chinese women many centuries ago. : Mrs1:-\"Ann-'Bloomer endeavored to introduce-, a-,bifurcated costume for women,nearly seventy years ago. But she was before her time,*and her ef- forst 'gained but scant appreciation, though at the.time of the great exhi- biion:in London-in 1885, an occasion that .bought people from the ends of the earth and was favorable to the inception of new things, a few daring:-fashionables came out now and again In Hyde Park in Bloomers. It seems probable that a certain section of the feminine world will permanently adopt a modification.of. the garb- of man,- even when, the necessity for it has- passed away. The' reason that most women.will not do so lies in the fact that a'consensus of opinion has decided'that'women-look better ih partially concealing robes than in either-trousers-or, tights. A via -'media: in feminine costume which .a'few .years ago decreed'that'it was a want of politeness to suppose that the Queen of Spain had any legs, does notgo to the: other ex- said cheque was endorsed by Mr. Doniinick Burns of the City of Vancouver .and discounted at the Canadian Bank of Commerce at' the City of Vancouver; aud the proceeds paid to Dr. Robert MacKenzie of the city of Vancouver 2. That the ��������� said Dr. Robert Mackenzie put the said money in the safe of the Motel Vancouver for safekeeping for a short time and between the eighth and thirteenth days of September, 1916, probably the eighth or ninth, took the money ,to his office, being room 617 Vancouver Block, in the City of Vancouver, and there handed it over to the Hon. the Attorney-General, no other persons being present, tho money was in a package. Which Dr. MacKenzie thought was opened in his orfice but he was not positive. ���������1. \"I can not find that tho money paid was tho money of (ho Canadian Northern Railway; Tho evidence in fact contradicts such a suggestion. Dr. MacKenzie testified that R. J. MacKenzie told him that it was. his money, and it further appears that Mr. R. J. Mackenzie is a man of largo means. \"Mr.. R. J. MacKenzie was not called and it was stated- by Mr. Woods that he was not in the province; but-that he had- a telegram from-Sir William MacKenzie,- saying that R. J. MacKenzio would be within the province in' a month. 1 was not asked to hold the enquiry o- pen for the purpose of securing his testimony. 5. That Dr. Robert, MacKenzie is a brother of Sir William MacKenzie, and does not appear to hold any salaried position in the Canadian Northern Railway, but Is the Chief sur-' geon of the said Railway Company, an.d the remuneration, for hY* services comes from the. employees of the railway rather than from the railway itself. \"There is no evidence produced before me to show that- R. J. MacKenzie was a director of the Canadian Northern , Railway .in September as claimed by Mr. Cowpers'counsel; but the inquiry on this head was not proceeded with���������proof of the fact not being immediately, available --and. being a matter upon which any persons interested could easily satisfy themselves. \"1 endeavored in every-way'to confine the inquiry to the substantial charge made, and not to allow it to drift Into the general question of raising or the disposition.' of .'campaign funds,' but in spite of my efforts, evidence was. given in a. general way that the moneys raised in cheque before referred to did not reach the 'campaign fund.' I thought in fairness to the honourable the At- lorney-general who was not.present when this evidence was given, that the losing of the commission should be delayed to enable him to make a general statement in reply.

V. REPORT IS BASED ON1 MAKENZIES EVIDENCE Victoria, May 14.���������Justice F. G. Gregory, who was commissioner In the Cowper-Mcdonald enquiry, filec! his report with the Government on Saturday. The text .of report is as follows: \"I am directed by the terms of the commission'to report- the facts found by me;- They are as-,follows: 1. .That on or about the 7th day of September, 1 916;' Mr...-R. J. MacKenzie made a cheque on, the Can proceedings before me. , It will be seen that there was no conflict of testimony and any person reading.it can draw the same conclusion that I have..

Railway Officials Express no Opinion of private administration���������under reasonable government regulation��������� to give the most efficient arid least costly service to the public and the nation and believing-that of-the three members of the Commission, ' ,Mr. Smith was ,in the best position to appreciate from an-unbiased standpoint the practical features of the.problem, both as to what has been done and what must be done in the future. In its attitude in favor of private operation of public utilities, wc recognize that tho great. fundamental principle of the uccess of such on- torprizes is service to the public. This attitude taken is not a popular one, but is sincere. Public ownership as a theory cannot be discounted In practice it is another matter. In a country\" like'Canada, with ' unsettled conditions, and great variety of national issues with political reflection, and with control by 'politicians, who in the average are opportunists rather than 'statesmen, efficient administration under tne Statu control is I'ra-.Uci-lly impossible. In the long run the public pays for'inefficiency in administration. Under public ownership the finances may bo juggled in such a manner that the people are.: falsely enthused by direct benefits which they pay, heavily for through .general taxation.-' To put into effect the majority report will mean that the government of Canada will take over and operate roads which will constitute -what we are told would-be the largest system in the world with -the exception-of that *��������� of Germany.'.' That such a system covering, thousands of miles and endeavoring.to serve a multitude of interests���������political and otherwise���������������������������^can be efficient operated by the government. ��������� is something which those who understand, the intricacies of large administration and the looseness of political service-cannot hope for.- To increase the difficulties, such a. system would have to operate in opposition to the' Canadian Pacific, one of the ��������� most efficient organizations .. in tlie world. Either one of two things would happen. If the government endeavored to compete on a basis of business'equality, ft would.be that looseness of administration which features ��������� public ownership lose large sums of money jvhich would either show in the'reports or be covered up in the national finances, thus misleading the public. Or in order to secure a large share of business the government system, backed by misguided-public opinion, would'reduce rates \"to such an extent that the Canadian Pacific could not give that efficient service which has meant and continues to mean, much to Canada's development. Government losses could either be hidden or if'shown, made to appear a9 the public contribution for the boom of low rates. And just on this point of Canadian Pacific service it may-be pointed out that neither report offered the suggestion that this system be taken over by the government also. If the government can . efficiently manage all the other systems .which' are now more or less crippled, why could it not take over the C. P. R. as well?
