day of this week the Mayor received
a letter from him expressing his ap-
preciation and enclosing the money to

Test Road Surface Built.—At the
end of the pavement on the Bluevale
Road a stretch of about a quarter of
a mile has been surfaced with a tar

face additional roads.

FIRST RAILROAD TRAIN,
TO TORONTO REC'ALLE'D
1
Seventy - five years ago last month
the first train between` Montreal and
Toronto operated over lines which are
now pert, of the Canadian National
.System, it was recalled by railroad ofe
fici'ale, and l'elsltorians, and Monday,
'October 27th, 1656, was an important
day in the iefe of both cities. Trains/
had previously operated from Point
St, Charles station in Montreal' and
!B'ro'ckvil'le, anal between Brockville
and Bellcvile but the train which op-
cra'ted out of Montreal on October
27th, 1:65:0, was the first through' train
to connect the two growing cities, /t
that time the run between Montreal
and Toronto required fourteen hours;
today's International Limited, trav-
ersing the same trackage, 334 miles
between thetwo cities, covered the
distance in the time of six •hours, the
record for daily passenger trains ser-
vice over a like distance, Ezra Prin-
gle, former blacksmith, of N'apanee,-is
one Canadian who saw the first train
operate through his hone station .and
was clown at the station to watch the
International Limited pass through on
her regular run, commemorating .their
seventy-fifth anniversary of .service en•
the longest steam railway on the con-
tinent,
"The first train as I recall it, con-
sisted of seven coaches," bit. Pringle
stated. "Its little engine. the tender
filled with cordwood, would look very
strange to people of today, accustom-
ed to the big 6100 and '5700. locomo-
tives, and so would the coaches, paint-
ed
aintell yellow as compared to the present
all steel sleeping and observation cars,
However, to us it was wonderful and
gigantic. Remember that all we had'
previously, known was the stage
coach,"
Montreal and Toronto newspapers
heralded the arrival of the first
through trains at their respective sta-
tions a; important steps in the devel-
opment of travel. For the 'first time,
copies of the Montreal Gazette, Her-
ald, Transcript and Advertiser were
received in Toronto on the d'ay of pub-
lication, while the Toronto Leader, a
paper which long since ceased publica-
tion, reached Montreal at 10 o'clock
on the night of issue. At Montreal a
grand ball was held in honour of the
occasion, and at each of the little
towns along the line, great throngs of
people were on hand from the country
districts to see the new locomotive as
it swept along towards its destination,
CANADIAN BUSINESS
STRENGTHENED LAST MONTH
Canada's business structure, the
Canadian Bank of Commerce de-
clares in its November commercial
letter, has been strengthened during
October,
Canadian wheat prices rising even in
the face of the peak movement of
wheat—the very time that ordinarily
sees wheat prices pushed downward
by the weight of deliveries—increased
activity in certain Canadian industries,
a rise in the value of major agricultur-
al products and the promise of more
.table conditions in Great Britain fel-
lowing the election, are seen as lead-
ing factors in this improvement.
In this review of business conditions
the bank shows commodity prices ris-
ing for the first time since last June,
reflected in a rise in the general level
of wholesale prices from 67.12 as at
September 15, to 67,72 as at October
15.
The letter notes among the other
favorable factors;
(1) More construction work (not
relief work) cotttractsrs for during
September and October;
(2) •,1n 'unusually early seasonal
upturn in the newsprint industry;
(3) Increased rai:wa' freight traf-
fic due to the grain movement and hi
the contittaatiun at seasonal belying by
the getseral public;
(4) 'An influx of Lnited States
hinds for depesi: in Canadian banks;
(5)- An increase itt :he purchase of
Canadian securitice by large American
concerns which hare business connec-
tions. ixt- Canada;
(6a 'A firming -up of Canadian ex-
change quota, ons; the :thrid state of
Canadian bank deposits.
(7)' 'Ata actual ii.c.,ea,e daring Aug-
ust, in current (demand) depesits as
well as in savings deposits;

favorable trade balances from Octo-
ber to December:
