expenees of running the line ale $20 a

$75 a day. Of course during the cold
weather the receipts from passengers
will fall off. But Ma proposed to carry

In. Chicago the volume of business
for August is twenty-five to thirty per

United. States is fifty-four millions this
year, ite coMpared with twenty-six
last. And in the Southern States trade
is better than it has been for two years
past. The turn of the tide has been
reached aoress the lines, and we on this

Beet culture pays in Quebec for sugar
making. If a man cultivates five acres
or under he receives at the rate of $5
per ton for the root at the factory ; but
if the raiser is energetic enough to put
ton acres under cultivation he receives
$5 60 per ton. One farmer is instanced
who produced beat root t� the -Value of
$200 from two acres, while. another
cleared $322 for feve acres. The average
retegen, however, is about $75 per acre.

the completion of the canal that estab-
lishes Canada's marine independent of

the lime kiln crossing in the St. Clair
Riveralthough built by United States
money, is under the Canadian flag. It
is part of the sill Canadian route to the
ocean, but when Col. Tisdale's St. Olari

One of the most cheering signs of
the times of Canada is the growth of
the dairying industries in Quebec and
the Maritime Provinces. The prosper-
ity of Ontario has been very largely due
to the lowly and homely cow, and
Ontario will be only too glad to see the
other Provinces entering into competit-
ion with her in this field. A dairy stal-
l` .
•nn and school has been established at
iret. Elyacinthe. In New Brunswick the
Dominion Commissioner reports the
opening of an experimental station at
Kingsclear. In Prime Edward Island
• the work has been going on rapidly and
with the -utmost enthusiasm. The
• opening of nine new cheeee •factories,
erected and equipped by joint stock

there is nearly 100 per cent, more
cheese held in Canada to -day than a

SIG PAPER MILL FOR CANADA.
American Capitalists to Locate at Rake-
beka Falls on the Uaministique
, NIACiA.RA FALLS, N.Y., Sept. 1. -John
Bogart, of New York, consulting engineer
of the Cataract Construction Company and
Niagara Falls Power Company, have ar-
rived from Canada, accompanied by his
friend F. S. Lewis, of Philadelphia, gene-
ral manager and treasurer of the Pennsyl-
vania and Northwestern xailroad.
The visit of Mr. Bogart and Mr. Lewis
took them to the Kaministique river which
flows into Thunder Bay in Lake Superionin
the Province of Ontario. The object of
the visit was to look over the location of
the Kakabeka Falls, with the idea of build-
ing a large pulp and paper mill, one of
the largest, if not the largest, in Canada.
Mr. Bogart found the falls to be 40 feet
wide and 125 feet high and suitable to de-
velop° a remarkable water power. The
region abounds in spruce and other woods.
The parties who are back of this scheme
are from Philadelphia, New York, and
Bangor, Maine. It is the purpose to build
a million dollar mill for the manufacture
of paper for shipment to the English mar-
ket. Among the gentlemen interested are
E. V. Douglass, F. Douglass and J. F.
Lewis, of Philadelphia; F. J. Clerque'of
'Bangor, Me.; and A. P. Bollern and John
Bogart, of New York. The product of the
new mill if built will be exported.
