that Putted Stater vesstlr can carry
erten from Fort William to Georgian
Bay ports for the rumaiuder of the

dturl tweets and to the congestion of
the But; Io elevators. It is of course
dt'sh:,ble that as large a (Manttly

from Fort William to too railway
teetotal on the Georgian Bay, before
navigation stops. If the elevators at
Fort William ere emptied, the C. P.
R. can easily fill them again during
the winter, ao1 the farmers of Mant-
tulxi will have so much too:e money
In hand to spend. And if the elevators
at Parry Sound, Cellingwo.d, Midland

carry their contents to tho sea-
