The earnings on our Canadian railways during '1913 amounted, broadly, to $2130,000,000. Thede figures ine2nde all the ettbsiclieny lines, and other affiliations of what- ever nebula; but ‚the figures are remarkable. Thirty. years ago the C.P.R., whioh now ehows gross an- nual earnings of $140,000,0000, could hardly buy axle grease. Its 25,000,000 acres of land were worth- less, The land now sells at the rate of from $5 to $35 per aces. Thal worthless land in its totality repre- oents cash value of nearly $350,- 000,000. The laude still to be sold will realize $200,000,000. The coin- rniesiener, winch the. London paper of Lard Northcliffe's called Answers sent out tei investigate conditions in the Dominion, regrets in one of his letters that the C.P.R. Should have sold its land-ea:iv pant of it— to speculators in lihe early days. The oompany regrete-that policy to- day itself; but at the moment there did not seem any alternative. The people could not be coaxed a the time to settle in the wilderness; and the eompany needed money; and the big paneels weee parted with—pareels which in their unoe- cupied state axe the wonder of the incoming settler, Wil0 has to go further bank while the splendid lands lie idle close to the railway. Of (lounge, not an aere is sold now except to the 'genuine settler, but the point of value is that in the °melee of a comparatively few years our Canadian I:sawn:ye, whioli be- gan in feebleness and doubt, with- out great faith in the future, and mocked at by OPitiES, COE 61111083, thfa enormous eanninge, in a twelve- month, of $200,000,000. • .74 ATONES FOIL MURDER.
