ing the railroads, telegraphs and mails.
The decision of t.ely revolutionary

company is considering the inlroduc-
tron of electric engines in the Rocky
Mountains,
in an interview here on Wednesday.
l.e said: "Wo have not yet definitely de-
cided to place the electric locomotive
anywhere along the line, but it we do
Metall them soon, tt will be at the
polnts of British Colurnbla, where the
heavy grades are. The estimates from
the tests so far made, show very little
difference between electric and steam,
with our present volume of traffic. The
electric locomotive Ls slightly more ex-
pensive, but, of course, with an increase
it traffic the difference would be in
fi.vor of the electric locomotive. I think
we 'lave a sufficient water supply to
generale all the power that we would
need in the event of inaugurating the
electric system."

Tuesday, adding :—"Tho people of the
Yangtzekiang Valley, over since the
Ikeed (Ic„ troyed their last crop, have
been subsisting on grass and the bark
of trees, the dogs and cats being too

that it would be enronsible to place

"It is not too late, however, for the
charitably inclined to do a vast amount
of good for these suffering Chinese. Un -
lees the next -rice° crop, duo in July, is

A cry for wives comes to the prow
ince of Quebec from the French -Caner
dian settlers in the Canadian Northwest
Territories. A itornan Catholic clergy
mean in Alberta is contemplating trying
a scheme suggested to him by the die• •
cunsolate bachelors of his parish km

Women, except squaws, are scarce in
the Canadian Territories, and there ts an
absolute absence of young marriageable
women of the same race and religiod
as the struggling settlers who leave'

es of the province of Quebee. The
priests are anxious to see !tient marriedl
to wives of their own nationality and
faith, so es to encourage the growth ice
the Northwest of a French speaking
and itoman Catholic population. Judg.'
ing from the wonderful natural increase'
of the French e.anadlau nation in the
province of Quebec, the supplying of
waves and mothers to the northwest'
settlers is all that is necessary for the
early establishment of an equally popu-
lous settlement on the Western prate -
lea
THE NORTiIWEST sr:TI'LEns
are only too anxious to fall in Milt the
desires of their priests in the matter Of
marriage. The lack of marriageable
women in the Northwest 'Territories
cannot bo obviated by any efforts ni
their own. They cannot afford the
time, even 1f they could spare the!
means, to pay a visit to the province
of Quebec to select wives for themselves. j
But they are prepared to do so to s
certain extent, by proxy. Provided a
sufficiently large assortment is brought
to their doors to afford them some lit-
tle chance for selection, they aro pre-
pared to depute their priests to do the
rest. The scheme has been discussed in
the French-Canadian newspapers and
the first party of candidates for matri-
mony will probably leave Quebec for
Calgary in a few weeks.
The apparent novelty of the scheme
has drawn down upon it a large amount
of ridicule. Those who are encourag-
ing it argue that it not only does not
savor of any Impropriety, but also that
not even the charge of novelty can be
brought against it. They point out that
a similar course was followed in
France for supplying wives to the ear.

TRENCH SETTLERS IN CANADA.
Under the fostering care of Colbert,
Louis XIV.'s great Minister of Fineries
and of the colonies, girls were taken
from the houses of refuge of Paris and
Lyons and sent out to Canada as pros-
pective wives for the settlers. Mother
Marie de 1'Incarnation wrote ip 1665
that a hundred had come that summer
and were nearly all provided with hus-
bands and That 200 more were to come
the following year. In 1672 Count Fron-
tenoc, the Governor of Canada, wrolo
home to Paris complaining of the scar-
city of the supply of young women sent
out, from France.
"II 150 irls and as many servants,''
he said, "had been sent out this year
they would all have found husbands
and masters within a month."
After some of the young women had
Leen married at Quebec It was found
that they had husbands at home. The
priests became cautious in tying the
matrimonial knot and Colbert lhereup.
c.ri ordered that each girl should pro.
vide herself with a certificate from the
cure, or mag ate of her parish, to the
