THE : COUNTRY ROADS
The farmer's of Ontario, who still
bear a grudge against the automobile
for its use and abuse of their roads,
will read with interest the judgment of
the Court of Appeal in the case of
Davis against the township ofUsborue
and Hay. The plaintiff, a woman was
driving, at night, along, the London
road and at a point, where a ditch
nearly five feet deep with perpendicnl-
ar sides ran close to the crown of the
road, met an automobile at which her
here shied, plunged into the ditch and
caused injury. The county juclgehold-
ing that the road was reasonable safe
for all ordinary use, that is, by horse-
drawn vehicles, found for the town-
ship. The Court of Appeal, on the
contrary, holds that township councils
must assume that automobile use is
now an ordinary use of the country
roads. The council in Usborne, when
it made the ditch in question ought,
Sir William Meredith adjudges, to
have forseen what took place and to
have covered the ditch or guarded it by
a rail, The rule greatly increases the
liability of the townships and, if it is
not as air William Meredith. suggests
modified by the'Legislature, the town-
ships will be put to great expense.-

4AS'A' OF HIS ifal:RTfil,-
Sir ..Charles 11tvers Wilson Boded `
Series of 14Inglish Meads of G'I' It
While Sir Charles Rivers -Wildon,
who died a few days ago in London,
known to Canadians chiefly for his
Presidency of the Grand Trunk Rail-
way from 1895 to 1909, during the
great period of expansion of that
Canadian highway, he had also a
distinguished career in the service of
the Empire, Sir Charles was intim-
ately connected with Major Evelyn
Baring (now Lord Cromer) when
that great . adminf-sarator was fin-
ancial adviser to the Khedive of
Egypt during the ti'o a lilesomite times
of the British occupation.
Sir Charles was born in England
in 1831, educated at Eton and at
Balliol College, Oxford, from which
he graduated in 1853, end entered
the Treasury in 1856. From 1874 to
1894 he was Comptroller -General of
the National Debt Office, and from
1877 to 1879 Finance Minister of
Egypt.
From 1875 to 1895 he was on the
Council of the Suez Canal Co., being
closely associated with de Lesseps,
His service in Egypt with the pre-
sent Lord Cromer included member-
ship on a commission of inquiry, as
the result of which the international
control was extended to the enorm-
ous landed property of the Khedive.
Wilson and Cromer went to Egypt
when the country was practically In-
solvent and divided the burden of fin-
ancing it, keeping its accounts and
extending its sources of revenue.
Sir Charles' administration of the"
Grand Trunk was the last link of the
old system of government from Lon-
don. His successor, the late Charles
M. Hays, belonged to this continent
and was mainly responsible for the
company's policy of expansion, the
most important feature of which was
the building of the Grand Trunk
Pacific. This enterprise, which close-
ly associated the railway with the
Government of Canada, brought Sir
Charles to Ottawa on a memorable
visit in 1903. Sir Charles appeared
before the Railway Committee of the
House of Commons and made 'a brief
explanation of the company's plans
in a speech marked by the culture
and refinement of an English gentle-
man, then turning the task over to
Mr. Hays, who made a vigorous and
lucid explanation.
Sir Charles made many visits of
inspection to this country, going over
the system minutely, -and in the
course of his travels meeting many
of Canada's most prominent men. His
period as President reached from the
lean and backward years of the
company until it took its place along-
side the most progressive and effi-
cient rivals on the continent.
The administration of the Grand
Trunk under Sir Charles Rivers -Wil-
son and his board was .successful
from the start. When he took office
the net earnings were insufficient to
pay fixed charges. Within two years.
the deficit had been paid off, and in
the' following year the company re-
sumed payment of interest and divi-
dends. Progress was then continuous
and within eight years the receipts
advanced by 58 per cent, while the
capital account was only increased by
61h per cent. and the fixed charges
by 4 Ve per cent.
THOMAS SCOTT IN CANADA.
Brother of the Novelist Was Once
Suspected of Writing "Waverley."
Thomas Scott, a brother of Sir
Walter Scott, who was stationed with
his regiment in Canada, was suspect-
ed, among other persons, of being the
author of "Waverley." Sir Walter
Scott encouraged his brother to enter
the literary field and the latter look-
ed favorably upon the proposal, al-
though the matter got no further.
This passage appears in the general
preface to the 1829 edition of "Wav-
erley," referring to Thomas Scott:
"Those who remember that gentle-
man will readily grant that, with
general talents at least equal to those
of his elder brother, he added a
power of social humor, and a deep
insight into human character, which
rendered him an universally delight-
ful member of society, and that the
habit of composition alone was want-
ing to render him equally successful
as a writer. The author of 'Waver-
ley' was so persuaded of the truth of
this that he warmly pressed his bro-
ther to make such an experiment,
and willingly undertook all the trou-
ble of correcting and superintending
the press. Mr. Thomas Scott seemed
at first very well disposed to em-
brace the proposal, and had even
fixed On a subject and a hero. The
latter was a person well known to
both of us in our boyish years, from
having displayed some strong traits
of character. Air. T. Scott had deter-
mined to represent his youthful ac-
quaintance as emigrating to Ameri-
ea, and encountering the dangers and
hardships of the New World, with the
same dauntless spirit which he had
displayed when a boy in his native
country. Mr. Scott would probably
have been highly successful, being
familiarly acquainted with the man-
ners of the native Indians, of the old
French settlers in Canada, and of
the Brutes, or woodsmen, and hav-
ing the power of observing with ac-
curacy what, I have no doubt, he
could have sketched with force and
expression. In short, the author be-
lieves his brother would have made
himself distinguished in that striking
field, in which, since that period, Mr.
Cooper has achieved so many
triumphs,"

have been highly successful, being
familiarly acquainted with the man-
ners of the native Indians, of the old
French settlers in Canada, and of
the Brutes, or woodsmen, and hav-
ing the power of observing with ac-
curacy what, I have no doubt, he

expression. In short, the author be-
lieves his brother would have made
himself distinguished in that striking
field, in which, since that period, Mr.
Cooper has achieved so many
