CTCFSTOX. b. a uDv���������r&m6Qi and Private Operation in Canada <9& Analysis of Results Obtained On The Two Large Railway Systems In That Country, Under State and Company Control. *. } ' ,��������� By J. L. PAYNE (Formerly Controller of Statistics, Department of Railways and Canals, of Canada:) (From Railway Age, Chicago.) Since the special announcement of the deficit of $70,000,000, the Canadian National Railways for the fiscal-year 1920, there has naturally been a great deal of speculation -and enquiry as to the underlying causes. That deficit was, of course, much larger than the figures given out. It omitted a very large volume of fixed charges. The only excuse for this omission was that some of these charges on the basis of standard accounting are not definitely known. They are readily ascertainable, but thcy have not been made up. That was thc loose way in which state railway accounting was begun more than half a century ago, and it has never been thought worth while to make a change. There was no demand for the information an;*yay. Absolute indifference prevailed with respect to the whole matter. A reversal of public sentiment has taken place within the past three months. The craving for authentic data is general and insistent. Thinking men all ovcr. the country are expressing deep concern in the volume of actual loss and the causes which have brought it aB"out. - Since the facts with regard to the deficit were presented in Tcecnt issues of Railway Age, there is no intention of repeating them now. It will be sufficient to bear in mind that the fpced charges attaching to $2,300,000,000 of capital liability, added to the operating shortage, will probably produce a deficit of not less than $140,000,000 for the current year. It need-not be said that, inasmuch as this loss falls wholly on the-Dominion treasury, it is a serious matter to" a country like Canada, with a* population of 9,000,000 and a gross revenue of less than $500,000,000. Judgment By Comparison. If a glance is taken of thc map of Canada, it will bc seen that three lines of railway run closely parallel to each other from Winnipeg to the Pacific Coast. One of these is the Canadian Pacific, thc other two form parts of the Canadian National group. As units, the latter arc the Canadian Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific. The eye is scarcely able to follow the parrallcl through Ontario, Quebec, and the eastern provinces, but it nevertheless exists. That will be ob- v' mileage by provinces is brought uiy* dcr thc eye. The facts from west to east are as follows: , Canadian Canadian National Pacific in the various provinces. They tap in about the same measure the great wheat growing areas of the we"st, and meet on an equal footing on the industrial centres of Ontario and Quebec. They run through the. Maritime Provinces practically side by side. .Therefore, it would be difficult to find any good'ground for objection to the comparisons which will be made. Yet. these two systems had operating results far apart in 1919. ,The Canadian Pacific has a net corporate income of $36,977)263, and the Canadian National units had a deficit of $40,650,222. This deficit, in accordance with the reprehensible practice of many years," left out of the reckoning an immense amount of , fixed charges. The object immediately in view is to look carefully at the various aspects of operating results and to sec if any reasons for this adverse showing by the Canadian National group can be identified. If, for example- it were proposed to subject the system to searching examination, what tests would be applied by a skilled railway accountant, or a train railway operator, to locate the weak spots? Either of these investigators would certainly probe beneath the surface in a perfectly proper effort to ascertain why in the case of two great railways, operating side by side,'one should be strong and prosperous and the other weak and insolvent. Having located the trouble centres, he would next seek to know whether or not the adverse results arising therefrom might have bcen modified if not wholly prevented. Where ther Losses Came In. , , The four units df the Canadian National here under view, and the Cana- enger-* miles are combined, and taken diiions, .���������! as a standard which will not be questioned. Ton and passenger miles represent not only the full service of railways, but the -lowest unit of measurement obtainable*.:.-. They place the roads in comparison on an absolutely commoniiooting. The cost of transportation? per mile will get us at once *lo the very core of operating conditions and, by comparison with* a strong road, tell us whether or not there is weakness in that vital centre. Ijiere are. the facts*as to transportation expenses7:* or ton and passenger mile- Y . 1917 1919 Canadian Northern 321 .634, G. T. Pacific ..:... 391 - .673 Transcontinental *. 294 .439 Intercolonial 442 v .708 The average for the four in 1917 was .355 as against .288 for the Canadian Pacific. In 1919 the*average was .626 for the Canadian National and .503 for the Canadian Pacific. The difference between transportation cost per ton and passenger mile on the Intercolonial and Canadian Pacific is very striking. In the case of the Canadian Northern, which is responsible for 52-per cent, of the freight tonnage and 60 per cent, of gross earnings, there was a distinct worsening of operating cond^tio'ns. From being 11.5 per cent, higher than the Canadian Pacific in 1917 the cost rose to 26 per cent, higher in 1919. We get a little nearer to our final answer when our inquiry discloses the fact that while these four units of the Canadian National. increased gross earnings in 1919 over 1917 by 24.6 per cent., the Canadian Pacific scored a .betterment of but 10.9 per cent, during the same period. Thus the gov- ~.y ad other'* tests, without exception, the system, .gave a poorer performance in 1919 than in 1917. ' The trainload of the* various units was as follows: Canadian Northern G. T.

The tonnage of freight was almost identical; yet gross earnings and earnings per mile of line, as well as per train mile, were far apart. In this relation three facts should be' candidly stated because they are advantageous to the Canadian Pacific./ First, the Canadian Pacific had average ton mile.re- nous when a statement of operatingj-ce;pts of .963 a3 compared with .892 by the Canadian National. ..This was due to the higher proportion of first British Columbia .. 1,201 Alberta 1,816 Saskatchewan ..... 3,371 Manitoba 2,294 Ontario 3,120 Quebec, 1,935 New Brunswick ,. 765 Nova Scotia 375 ��������� 14,877 1,816 1,901 2,777 1,728 3,286 1,076 5241 576 13,694 was not in that field. While, however, the" Canadian Pacific was adding to operating expenses by 34 per cent, the Canadian National was swelling outgo by 69.7 per cent. The result in dollars and cents was that a net operating * surplus of $13,510,116 in 1917 was turned into an operating deficit of $10,858,926 in 1919. The Canadian Pacific, on the other hand, came ouj: with net operating earnings of $32,429,475. Extending the analysis" by measuring both earnings "and operating e* penses by combined ton and passen ger miles, it is found that whiie ther* Canadian Na'tional increased gross earnings from .831 in 1917 to 1.112 cents in 1919. the Canadian Pacific advanced from .897 to 1.282. This was equal' to a gain of 35.0 per cent. in'Orie case and 42.9 in, the other. With respect to operating expenses, however, the government group rose from .681 to 1.252, while the Canadian Pacific went up from .591 to 1.027. The difference in .one instance was 83.9 per cent, and 01*1 the other 73.8. Putting it in another and suggestive wayr while the difference bet-vyeen the two systems was 15.2 per cent, in 1917, adverse to the Canadian National, in 1919, it was 21.9. That difference Average 'j 382.S v- This-result was 38.5 per cent, below the average trainload of the Canadian Pacific in 1917 arid 41.1 per cent, in 1919.' It might be assumed that the striking difference-was due \o unfavorable grades on the. government reads, but it would be a mistake! The Canadian Pacific is at a marked disadvantage in that regard.' It has always been the boast of the Canadian Northern that its .4 per cent, controlling grade was the best of any road of similar length in North' America; yet the Canadian Northern had an average trainload of 388.4 tons in 1917 and fell to 337.9 in 1919. ^That must be compared with 529.8 and 522.1 on the Canadian Pacific. The lighter trainload of the Canadian National is due to fewer cars hauled. In 1917 the number was 17=2. but in 1919 this had decreased tb 15.6. On the other hand, the Canadian Pacific had an average of 22.6 in 1917 and 22.2 in 1919. ��������� Wages and Employees Compared. It was during the year ended Jurte 30, 1919, that the McAdoo award began to make its pernicious influence felt among the railways of North "America, and it would seem to be perfectly fair to compare the way in which thi3 difficulty was mejt by the Canadian National atid the Canadian Pacific. Two tests, have been applied, and the results are rather significant. The first deals with the" volume of wages per ton and passenger mire combined. The showing is as follows: (sMS* I ORE A For Infants and Children its Use For ������vsr 3������ Years Always bears Y; ' the ' v- Slgnature of 1917 1919 Increase Can. Northern .. .389 .819 110.5 G. T.

Second/the Canadian tells us plainly how much better the Pacific had a larger average haul; and | Canadian Pacific was able to meet the third, thc Canadian Pacific had a higher traffic density. .With these more or less basic facts in mind, it is now important to apply analytical methods to some of the details which spring therefrom. In the operating ratio we have at once a strong clue to the field in which weakness or faulty administration is likely to be found, and let it be said at-once, we shall bc rewarded Hy several rather One, of thc two explanations are] startling discoveries as we proceed? necessary in relation to tlie foregoing For this inquiry the years 1917 nnd table. _ It docs not include thc mileage of thc Grand Trunk nor of a number of branch nnd subsidiary 1919 are selected, for good and definite reasons.

If these were all brought in the mileage of thc Canadian National would rise to 22,500. But the Grand Trunk had not been officially taken ovcr by June 30, 1919, which happens, for reasons not creditable to the new Dominion Bureau of Statistics, to-be the last year for which information is available on a basis permitting of direct eornpaV-sons. The units which will be with the Canadian Pacific are. the Canadian Northern, the Grand Trunk Pacific, thc National Transcontinental and thc Intercolonial, They contribute the mileage in the statement. If the.omitted mileage and thc operating results therefrom were brought in thcy would merely serve to make matters worse. It will he observed that these road* have closely corresponding mileages y������" W. N. V. 1382 western section of the Canadian National, were in corporate hands. In the latter thcy had been for a full year and more qnder government control, That fact at once suggests the pertinent question as to what were the general results of the change. Were betterments brought about? Was administration strengthened or weakened? Let the facts give the answers. Excessive Transportation Expenses. Since all the operations of a rajlway find their focus in the running of trains, the cost of transportation be- romes fundamental, In this instance we shall be just to the Canadian National units In comparing thetn with the Canadian Pacific, We must first, however, find a satisfactory gage. For that purpo.-tc ton miles and pass* Minnrd'-i Liniment Relieves Neuralgia rising tide of operating cost than was the management of the government system. ' ��������� . ... Trainload and Carload Tests. A. very strong, sidelight is thrown on thc operating .results as expressed in terms of dollars and cents, and we begin to catch a clear glimpse of weakness in fundamentals, when we look into the trainload and carload situation on the Canadian National as contrasted with that on the Canadian Pacific. The fact will spare me from any comment whatever. In carload the Canadian National is open to serious criticism. It was only one ton below the average of the Canadian Pacific in 1917 and it picked that up in 1919., ..That is the single sign of betterment in operating con- Average ...... .415 These figures must be contrasted' with averages of .344 and .625 by the Canadian Pacific. Incidentally, this test reveals the extent to which the swollen payroll effected operating cost of all railways in Canada up to 1919. Buf while the Canadian Pacific was able to keep the.Increase.down.to 78.S per cent, the Canadian National, dealing with precisely the same conditions as to scale and classification, had an addition of 94,7 per cent. The second test related to the combined^ ions and passenger miles per employee. As to number of y employees, the Canadian Pacific, between 1917 and 1919, met a decline of 21.8 ,fper cent, in ton and passenger miles by cutting down the operating staff by 2.1 per cent. The Canadian National, o the other had, had a drop of 9.1 per cent, in the same mileage yet added to the number of employees by 21.8 on thc other hand, had a drop of 9.1 per and passenger miles by employees, was the following performances: 1917 1919 Canadian Northern .. 285,908 154,399 G.

The facts for the fiscal year 1928 cannot be presented in comparative form for two reasons in chief. First, the essential factor' of loaded car mileage is lacking; second, the year to which the. figures recently presented to parliament'relate ended December 31st instead of June 30. Some general comparisons,* however, can be made, subject to the qualifications as to the difference in years. The operating ratio in 1920 to 124.01 and the operating deficit to $36,842,- 970. This should be compared with a ratio of 81.39 by the Canadian Pacific and a net operating revenue of $33,- 153,045. Operating expenses per ton and passenger mile combined were equal to 1.567 cents on the Canadian National and 1.1/9 on the Canadian Pacific. Without making allowance for the difference in the years, it may be said that these results showed a' worsening by 25.1 per cent, over 1919 on the "government system, as compared with an increase of 14.8 per cent, on the corporate road. An important, but quite unavoidable qualification in those and succeeding results is that they do not induqe fig-' ures from the Grand Trunk Pacific. Data as to milea'ge for that road are lacking, which prevents their being brought in. The effect would, however, quite definitely be to aggravate the situation-as disclosed by the other, units, for the Grand Trunk Pacific in 1920 made much the worst showing in its history. Measuring transportation expenses by ton and passenger miles_in 1920 the result gives .774 per cent for the Canadian National .and .556 for the Canadian Pacific. In this particular test the showing of the government roads was worse by 23.6 per cent, in 1920 over 1919, as compared with an increase of 10.5 per-cent, by the Canadian Pacific. In short, if a full and accurate comparison could be made as between operating results on the Canadian National lines in 1917 and in 1920 it would unquestionably .show not only a serious aggravation of all the condition s, but a much greater, increase in the^adverse showings that was experienced by the Canadian' Pacific. The point which should be "given proper .emphasis is that, while the Canadian National system is fundamentally weak, operating Tesults have Seen made worse yeSar by year by unskilled,,wasteful and incompetent administration. There cannot;possibly be any doubt of that, and it has a vital bearing on the exceedingly perplexing, Canadian railway problem at this* moment." 133,563 181,940 167,831 KEEP CHILDREN WELL DURING HOT WEATHER Every mother knows how fatal the hot summer months are to small children.

The decrease in the case of the government roads was equal to 24.8 per cent, in the case of thc Canadian Pacific 20,3. The contrast by employees is obvious. The broad question of operating policy, as well as the further consideration of morale, are involved to,repeat the tests, It should not be necessary to repeat that the standard of the appraisal here employed. Is absolutely just.

The article was brimful of the -grievances aud difficulties of the soldier-fcettlers and did not state bk what way, or in what line the settlement was or could be pro nounced a success; and it only offered one suggestion as to what could be done to remedy conditions. viz, by the government spending more money in appointing a more tactful superintendent. Who is the new man who is looking for the job? Ae a resident of the district for The Conservative opposition made great use of the grievances of the soldier-farmer boys in the camp. Men in Camp are Not Farmers I lived in the camp at the time and observed the workings of the campaign. The. soldier boys, in the camp are fine fellows. But* j?ith no-disrespect to them, I say they are better soldiers than farmers. I believe a large percentage of them, and I hope all. of them, ��������� will turn out to be good farmers, but up to the present the $4.00 a day wage is the big attraction and magnet and supporter of the colony. If this $4.00 a day wage were withdrawn, I believe the camp, as a camp, wonld collapse, though I believe a large percentage would hang on to the land, if .they could manage it any shape or form. This is the actual condition of things. The men and women there are first and foremost soldiers and soldiers' wives. Few of them have had any experience on a farm, and although they have been in the camp now going on two years, they have not yet had any farming or fruit ranching experience. They have been employed as-laborers by the executive at Victoria to clear land and make rough roads, so that only about 5 per cent, of them have gone in for any farming or ranching. There are abont 10 of the settlers who have bought stock���������a cow, a few pigs, a horse���������while the others saving the little overplus out of the 84.00 per day, and placing it in the bank, waiting for further and fut- ture- developments; while about a dozen of the men find the bought a dozen chickens sothafl could get eggs and I bought small pigs so that I could get pork and bacon, and I planted potatoes and onions, and ih sis months I was out of the reach of starvation.

One ���������of their most longheaded comrades, a man by the name of Magee, told them: ''Boys, We must forget that we were sol diers; we must now realize that we fire farmery and we must act as farmers, and adapt ourselves to the new conditions." But he was howled down for saying so. Now,,the first thing these boys (I call them boys, for with two or three exceptions they are mostly young men, or men under 40, while only one or two are above 50)���������the first thing they must do is to get j away from the "camp"1 idea and surveilance and become as brave and active and Intelligent farmers as they were soldiers.

Government Spoiled Settlers A farmer in the Creston and Canyon City districts, near Lister, told the writer: "The executive government has spoiled these soldiers-settlors by givirg them these $4.00 a day jobs. When I and the rest of us Canyon fellows came here, we oame on our our own resources and did the beat we could, and I can assnr-o you it was mighty rough and hard at times. I came here with very little 0���������m fow hundred dollars���������and I hud a wife and two children to support, but by God's help 1 toiled on and made a success of my little farm. I became a farmer, a randier and I did the things that would yield me the b������-������fc and quiokeet reunite t\ bought a cow to get milk and I Then I planted.apple trees and pear jtrees and plums and peaches. I believe if the cralches were kicked away frons these fellows in Lister that iii six months instead of groans of complaints we would hear songs of praise.'' That was the experience and expression of a Canyon settler, & m&n ol 55, who had been in the Canyon, a place about three miles from Lister, * or oyer jlv years, anu ue uSu made good. ,_ In Lister, I mean in Camp Lister, you cannot buy eggs or butter or milk or cheese ot potatoes or cabbages or the small early fruits. The settlers there, with the exception I have mentioned, have not- gone in for farming or ranching. So the problem is to make farmers of these splendid fellows. But how oan this be accomplished? Tlie Canyon farmer will tell you that the only way is to cut these men away from their $4.00 a day job and let them do for- themselves. But I do not agree with this. I believe iu cutting off the $4.00 a day, but I also believe that a better substitute should be found and I believe a better, safer, quicker and mors economical nlan should be initiated. Men Can Save Nothing With $4.00 a day, these men can hardly get ahead of the game of life sufficient to buy any stock whatever. - - If these men, however, had a year's wages,- or let us say $1500 in cash to their credit in .the bank, what .could they, not do? The money would amountr -<to about one year's wages.- iWHe-men 'should be' abie to draw on this $1500 as they required it by overseer's endorsement to their cheques. That iB to say, if the settler wanted a cow, or two cows, he could go to the overseer and say so and give particulars. Of course I need not give details. All this could be a matter of business arrangements. I simp ly indicate a feasible policy and sol ution. The cows 'would be bought and your settler vvould immediately become a farmer, a producer and he would study that' particular branch of it. He could also buy chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, pigs and become a greater producer, and he wcnld -within a few weeks find his job, hi* big god, right at home. That would give the man a start. The difficulty of the men at Lister now is to get or make a start. It was a mistake, in my opinion, for the executive at Victoria to offer to build houses and clear five acres and guarantee jobs at $4.00 a day.

In either case it would entail an enormous expense on foreign territory, so to speak. Take for example: 1 judge the distance from jfche' Canyon say to Teddy Haskins is about two miles, and even then the water would haye to be raised 150 or 200 feet, which leads us to enquire if we have not a suitable place where we can get water���������better water many times over for irrigation, and at much less expense. We now turn to Kootenay flats and we find that there is a slough several ���������" miles Jong, and deep, and rich in plant food and fertilizer such as is not found probably anywhere else in British Nortn America. Instead, therefore, of developing an irrigation pipe, etc, say two miles long without receiving any revenue, would, it not be" better to bring the water, from the Dow slongb straight. through tbe ravine that leads fsoua the' Mallandaine residence to Haskins, and we would have a pipe line that .would be revenue producing all of the way, and thus s������ve the two miles of expense, besides the enormous expense of developing the Goat River canyon. , * -' When one trayels west on theCP.

(Continued) But it was not only on Harris's homestead that development was taking place. As McCrae had predicted, there was a considerable movement of settlers into the district* and at several points their tents or rude houses now broke the vast sweep of the 'horizon. Tom Morrison had found land to the satisfaction of his heart within three miles of the Harris homestead, and his big log-house, eighteen by,twenty-four, assumed the proportions of a castle by comparison with the smaller homes springing up Wound. Some milc_s to the cast Dick Matheson, straight "from the lumber camps of the Madawaski, had pitched his tent, and a few miles farther on was his friend of the shanties, John Burton. To the west were the Grants, and to the north Hiram Riles and his wife, Eliza. A mixed community they were, drawn from many corners, and all of them more or less under the heel of poverty;-but they were filled with enthusiasm, with resourcefulness, and an indomitable determination to face and overcome all obstacles. " A missionary had iii some way spied out the field, and held monthly Sunday services at Morrison's house; and'Dr. Blain, when not in one of his unfortunate debauches, had his headquarters at the new town of Plainville, which consisted of Sempter's general store and a "stopping-place," and which- had sprung up near the junction of two streams in anticipation of the railway.. None of these pioneers was possessed Of a complete farming equipment, but each had something which his neighbor lacked, and they made common cause tokether, in their struggle with Nature. Thus Harris had j~o mower, but when haying season came he was able to borrow Morrison's, at the same time lending his plough to. Riles, who simultaneously accommodated Morrison with his hayrack. Among**** the women exchanging became something of an exact science. Mrs. Grant was the proud possessor of a very modern labour-saver in the shape of a clothes-wringer, as a consequence of which wash-day was rotated throughout the community, and It was well known that Mrs. Riles and Mrs. Harris had to do their churning alternately. But it was Mrs. Morrison's sewing-machine that was the great boon to the community, and to. it, perhaps, as much as the open- hearted hospitality of honest Tom and his wife, was due the fact that their hotise became the social-centre of the 'district. Nor was the settlement deprived of' its share of "sport and amusement. On one of his periodical visits McCrae donated a baseball, and Harris quickly shaped a bat from the trunk of a stout willow he found by the river-bed. They had all outdoors to play in, and it was a simple matter to mow the grass from a stretch of level prairie and" turn ovcr thc sod at points to mark the bases. Unfortunately, there were not enough men in the community to make two baseball teams, but a^ species of game was devised in which the players batted in turn, and when not batting or base- running were always on the "out" side. Harris developed considerable ability as a pitcher, throwing the powerful straight ball which in those days was a greater menace to the bare hands of the catcher than to thc bat* Heals Infiamed Nostrils, Stops Catarrhal Discharge, Relieves Colds Quickly You'll be pleasantly surprised at the quick action Catarrhozone jias upon Catarrhal conditions in the mose and throat.

It was a cumbrous, wooden-frame contrivance, guiltless of the roller bearings, floating aprons, open elevators, and sheaf carriers of a later day, but it served the purpose, and with its aid the harvest of the little settlement Was safely placed ihr sheaf. The farmers then stacked their grain in the fields, taking care to plough double fire-guards, with a burnt spjace between, as a precaution against the terrifying fires which broke . over the prairie as soon as the September frosts had_dried the grass. Ajcom- munity sdtne twenty miles to the eastward boasted- a threshing* mill, and arrangements were made for its use after it had discharged the duties of its own locality. The machine,was driven by horse-gower, and in the dawrn of the crisp November mornings the crescendo of its metallic groan could be heard for miles across the brown prairie. It, too, with its hand feed, its open straw-carriers, its low-down delivery, which necessitated digging a hole in the frozen earth to accommo*1 date the bags, and its possible capacity pf sixliundred bushels a. day, bears mean comparison with (its modern successor; but it thresh eel-grain at a lower cost per busfifel, and threw less into the straw than has ever been accomplished by the mighty steam and gasoline inventions which have displaced it. ' o When Harris's threshing was done he found he had six hundred bushels of wheat and seven hundred bushels of oats in cone-shaped piles on his fields. The roads were fine and hard, and ao snow had.yet fallen, so he determined to begin at once with the marketing of his wheat. , His last cent had been spent months before; indeed, it had been only through the courtesy of the storekeeper at ������Plain- ville, who was also postmaster, and who had stretched thc law to the/ point of accepting hen eggs as legal tender in exchange for postage stamps, that Mary Harris had been able to keep up the brave, optimistic series of letters written "home." So Harris decided that he -would at once market, some of his wheat. Most of the oats would be needed for his horses and for seed, and what remained would commahd good prices from new settlers the following spring, but some of -the wheat must be" turned into money at once. During the latter part of thc summer they,had lived exclusively on the produce of their farm; on vegetables from the garden, fish and ducks from the^trcam, prairie chickens, and an occasional rabbit from thc fields. Thc wild geese had deserted them early in the spring, and returned only after harvest. But now they should have a change on their table. Mary had accepted thc pioneer fare of the summer, without complaint, but oMatc Harris had dis- ter at thc plate. On thc occasion of covered ia strange longing in *her eyes, his monthly visit?-thc missionary, who and more than once she had was ai? ardent ball-player, generally contrived io reach Morrison's by Saturday afternoon, and so was able to take part in the Saturday night game. And although he never took advantage of his association with thc young men Jo "preach*' to them, except on Sundays, a sense of comradeship eprang up, and a standard of sport was established which bore fruit in the community many years later. And so the first summer wore away and the first harvest was at han.i. Any disnppointmfnt which had heen occa* sloncd by backward conditions earlier In the season was effaced by thc wonderful crop which now crbwn������d the efforts of thc pionccr-i, On thrir finest Eastern farms they had scon nothing to-equal the great stand of wfcat and oafs whirh now rnvelopr-rl them, neck-high, whenever ������hey invaded it. Thc great problem before the settlers wan the harvesting of this crop. It was a mighty task to attempt with their scythes, but there was no self-hinder, or even reaper, within many miles, Finally Morrison solved the problem for thc whole community by placing nn order, at :i large figure, for a KeepYour tyfes Clown - Clear -������- Hoolthy stfrltm tor I,am Cy~ Ctrm Hunt* Murln* Cft-..0-t������-*g->,U-r>A. mtmmtm* W.

So now hc set out for Emerson with the best load liis horses could draw. The first few mile-.** l*c drove in silence, for there was a heavy weight at his heart as he thought of the little wife alone with tlie. responsibilities of thc farm. . , . That she would be faithful fo every responsibility wa.s beyond question. . . . But hc was not quite satisfied.

Rut this morning as lie drove the well-worn trail, a burnished slin mounted higher and -higher ahead of him, and Kvitli it his own spirits rose until he found himself whistling and boyishly building castles in thc air. But hir. castles, as he told himself, had solid foundations; indeed, they were not even speculations, but -already i Zip,)n he accepted as assured accomplishments. Some things he certainly must do for Mary. First of these was the purchase of a glass window for the house, and next to that he promised enough boards for a door, and perhaps enough to floor part of their little room. Then there should be sugar, anrl tea, and flour, and warm boot*, nnd inomr n,nnh-t\tt,i.rj\ kitchen utensils. True, he" needed tome thing**) him������e"!f, hut his n������'eds ronld wait. Anrl then \ht-rr vure other thing's. Oh, lie Iiii'",- v. hut to get. He hadn't been having little confer-j ences with Mrs. Morrison for nothing. . - . . A tender smije gently suffused his face, and his cheery whistle soared-, above the ��������� rumble of the wagon-wheels on the hard lumps of the trail. Ten days lajer he retraced his course in the teeth of a blinding ^blizzard. " A dozen times he had beets lost in the forty-eight hours, but he had developed the prairie-dweller's sense of direction, and had always been able again to locate ihe trail. The Arthurs would have detained" him, almost by force, but the-thought of a pale, patient face, wrung with an agony of anxiety not for itself, made him adament in his resolve to go home at whatever cost. The roads were almost- impassable; he left his lumber at Arthurs', but carried with him his window, a few boards for a door, and a little bundle of drygoods. Everything h\se had gone by the wdy, surrendered in exchange for food and shelter for himself and horses. It was not dreadfully cold, but the sky seemed only a vast turmoil of snow. The north-west wind pelted the flakes in his face, where they melted with the warmth qf his skin and again drooped in tenacious icicles from his eyebrows and moustache. -The horses, too, were half blinded with the storm, and the empty wagon dragged laboriously through the, deep drifts. Darkness came down very early, but at last Harris began to recognize familiar landmarks close by the trail, and just as night was settling in he drew into the partial'-sheK ter of the bench on .the bank of the coulee. The -horses pulled on their reins persistently for the. stable, but Harris forced them up to the house. His loud shout was whipped away by the wind and strangled in a moment, so he climbed stiffly from the wagon and pulled with numbed hands at the double thickness of carpet that did ^service for a -door. He fancied he heard a sound, but could be sure of nothing; he called her nanie again and again, but could distinguish no ah-- swer. But at last the fastenings which held the carpet gave way, and he half walked, half fell, into the house. ���������'"-��������� The lantern burned dimly, but it was not at the lantern he looked.

"Thank God, oh, thank God!" she exclaimed. ��������� -'He threw off his wet overcoat and rushed tb Yher side. But;*.. she sat silent on the bed, staring absently at the light flickering uncertainly in the wind from,the open door. . He hastily re-arranged the carpet, then, returning to her, he took her hands in his and rubbed them briskly. But she still stared vaguely, at the light. Suddenly a thought came to him. He rushed outside, to find that the horses ,of their own accord, had taken shelter beside the.stable. Here from the wagon he drew a little bundle and hurried back to the house. She was sitting where he left her, shivering slightly" and watching the play of the light as it flickered up and down the wall. Hc tore the package open and spread its contents before her. At first she took no-noticc, but gradually her eyes found the outline of soft cloth and dainty feminine devices. With a great joy lie watched the colour returning as l,icr set face'fclaxed in a smile of ineffable'' tenderness. She raised her face to his and slipped her arms about his neck, and" ne knew that for'the moment he had snatched her out of the valley of the shadow.

Every bone in me ached to the marrow and not a day passed that some time I did not have a dull throbbing pain in my head that would make my eyes water and I would get dizzy and nauseated.
