The inoremie of street railway aecotruno-
dation in recent years is one of the marvels
of our time. The fashion of using the means
of getting over the ground quickly in large
cities naa grown far faater than the popula-
tions of such placee, and the question of
rapid local transit is ono of the embarrassing -
problems of civic o.drainistration. In Mtg.
land during the ten years there hoe been a
great development in tramways. There
were in the year 1878 but 269 miles of such
lines open for traffic. while now 901 miles
are in operation. Where capital to the
amount of six millions and a half are now
represented in E 'TIM tramways. Horse-
power is still the ,trevailing mode employed,
although in one or two instances electrical
appliances have been adopted.

Western States will share in the advantage
of securing salt water fish from the North-
ern Ocean. Last year there were exported
from Manitoba a million and it half pounds
of fish, such as whitefish, jackfish, yellow
perch, pike, dere, and salmon. Of the
whitefish 841,480 pounds, and of the eack-
fish 238,604 pounds, entered the American
market fresh, and therefore duty free. The
duty of half a tient it pound to be levied by
the United States on fresh fish will obstruct_
the industry seriously.
