ELL1(Ye , PraraellER AND Pit01'1ETott 1.1.401..411 THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1913 A PROFITABLE DEAL, The Prince Albert homestead scandal has come near having a competitor close to Montreal, in the recent pur- chase by Col. the Hon. Sam Hughes of a piece of land for the erection of a military training school, For years past there has been discussion ns to the establishment of such a school near Montreal. It offered such opportgnities for expenditures that Cul. Hughes lost no time in getting the matter on. Various sites were considered, and naturally party friends looked for profit. Apparently they were not dis- appointed. Major W. T. Rodden of Idcntrcftl, cr.e of the cidest military men of the metropolis. and a reliable Conservative, made a gross profit of $95,1104. This is the history of the deal. On May 27th, 1911, Major Rodden bought a property at Dorval for$18,500, as an investment. Later on came the change of government. and the renewed talk of buying a site for the proposed military school. On June Sth. 1912, Major llod- den bought a farm adjoining his Dor- val property. for 835,496. Sixteen days later he sold the whole block, which had cost him $84,096, to the Dominion of Canada. represented by Col. the Hon. Sam Hughes for $180,000, considerably more than doubling his money. Labored attempts are being made to explain away this deal. It is claimed that the land is worth the money; that it could be sold to -day for more than was paid for it, and so on. But the facts will not down. A party friend knows that the property will be wanted by the government. He purchases it, and a few days later sells it to the government at a profit of nearly $100,- 000. Could not the government have pur- chased the property through its own agent and saved the people this $95,004? But what's the use! Could not the gov- ernment have sold the Prince Albert saes ft0 "homestead" instead of giving it to a party friend for $10? FALL FAIR DATES.

States to finance a5ou-a Canad- ian Industrial Enterprise. This is the issue before the people of I the Couuty of Bruce and adjoining Counties in regard to the financing of of "Cargill Limited." When I proposed to Mr. Cargill that he should place all his properties in a corporation and make thy, extension., and improvements outlined in our Pros- pectus, I was asked where 1 would get the money. My answtr was that the people of Bruce have the money, also the intelligence to discriminate between a sound going business properly organized and the half baked or ballooned prof o Si tions usually put before them. I persuaded Mr. Cargill to give it e trial. We have mailed out several thousand collies of our Prospectus and have ap- pointed reputable agents in each town to explain our proposition to the people and now await the veedict which dt- cides whether we shall gsta ahead with the large extension; planned with Can- adian e. pital, or haul down sur fag a Iii accept the domination of United Matto capital in the business affairs of Cana- da. There are a few points- which I would like to make clear to aid you in coming to a prompt decision as ve shah accept the verdict we receive by Aug, 30th and shall then decide whether the sub- scriptions received warrant us in going further. First, the business is to -day earning enough to pay 6 per cent on all the pre- ferred stock and leave a good balance for Mr. Cargill, so he is taking no chances. Secondly, the stock held by Mr, Car- gill (the common stock) cannot get a cent until after the dividend of 6 pet cent is paid to the, holders of the pre- ferred stock which the Company is of- fering to the public. Thirdly, the preferred stock is en- titled to participate in any dividend paid in excess of 6 per cent. This is the unusual feature in that it is permitted to earn 10, 15, or 20 per cent. Fourthly, Mr. Cargill does not receive the proceeds from the sale of the pre- ferred stock, it belongs to the Com- pany not to Mr. Cargill. Some questions have been asked re- garding the supply of timber. It should be understood th this is no longer a saw mull or lumber business. In manufacturing staves, h ding, 8.e., every part of the tree even he branch- es are made use of, so tha we have a vast quantity of timber,-timated suf- ficent for 25 years runni at full cap acity, which costs us no ing but labor. We are leaving the ember under 4 inches standing, i'hict in 20 years will provide a new cr• p a d should continue doing so forever,'h• died in this way. The demand f.. taves, &c., is much greater than we n hope to supply and we contemplate buying all the timber offered by farmers, The successof the subscription means much to the County of Bruce. Our enlarged shipping capacity will enable us with the help of other manufacturers to compel the opening of our ports with proper harbors, the lack of which is the only drawback to Bruce County becom- ing at once a natural manufacturing location. I should like you to realize that the manufacturing plants of Canada are entirely inadequate to supply the de- mand for manufactured goods. The population of Canada is one-tenth that of the United States, yet we have not nearly one tenth the number of manu- facturing plants, Concerns from the United States are coming here because they see the lack of competition and the immense market Canada will pro- vide in the future. The Department of Labor and Commerce reports that for the twelve months ending April, 1913, we imported $442,213,353.00 of goods from the United States alone and pay duty, no wonder they are coming here looking for locations for their plants. Owing to its central location and its favorable climate Ontario is destined to become the manufacturing centre of Canada. Compare the area of the available part of Ontario with the area of the manu- facturing States and you must see that it is bound to become a manufacturing beehive, Large plants do not like to locate in large centres on account of shifting labor, they want water power in small towns, where they can house their labor themselves. Open our Ports and Bruce becomes a location that cannot be excelled as we have the water power independent of Hydro Electric, We could go ahead with the exten- sions planned ourselves, were it not for the fact every dwelling in town is oceupied and a large amount is needed to provide dwellings for the employees required by the extended industries. AB the above facts can easily be verified by anyone interested in doing so, therefore Bruce need offer in future no excuse should it fail to take advan- tage of this opportunity. Subscriptions are coming in but we want to decide quickly. The advantage in the corporate form of doing business is that with a proper system and thorough organization any- one can drop out without affecting the business. and its officers are subject to the new strict laws governing cor- porations. The experience you have bad with other corporations should not influence you in regard to this one, as we propose to remove the impression held by some that all corporations are bad. I shall be glad to see a great many one share subscriptions, because we may in the future desire to have the people partieipate again with us in other enterprises and we know we shall have their confidence. If the farmers will step to consider the market which will be created for them by the development of the towns in their vicinity, also the enhancement value of their farms by reason thereof they will do their utmost in supporting this enter rise to bring it about. In conclusion let me say that we have put the matter fairly before you and want all who have the interests of the County at heart to join us.
