TRAFFIC NOT SO LARGE. Revenue Reduced on the Govern- ment Railway. A despatch from Toronto says: A reduction of practically $200,000 in total net revenue is the result of the operations of the Timiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1913. These figures are gleaned from the annual report of the railway which has just been received by Hon. I. B. Lucas, Provincial Treasurer, This decrease in earnings is pretty well understood 'to be the result of the end of the construction period on the National Transcontinental Rail- way, and the fact that the mining in Cobalt and Porcupine is on a normal basis, ~~ Machinery and equipment for the mines has all gone in and from this source the i | only revenue is derived from parts enlarge- ments. As soon as the Grand Trunk Pacific .is operating, the $300,000 rental will be available for running rights and such percentage of oper- ating as the Grand Trunk is liable for on a wheelage basis. The road has been thoroughly overhauled to 5c; | and the equipment made ready for transcontinental trade as soon as it is ready. MURDERS AND SUICIDES. Two Terrible Crimes Committed In Germany.

The commission believes that ac nger, and it is supported in this lers' Association, - many . leading - bodrds™ of 'trade, the Dominion Trades and Labor Council, and the farmers - 'organizations 'throu hout the country." In Parliament the proposals have' 'many prominent supporters on, both "side: ~ the House. "The present Government interest in the work as did the for- ' mer Administration, and if there is: any: differences of opinjon when the matter is brought up in Parliament, it will be only in regard to detail. The other day Premier Borden gave the delegated" representing: the Trades and Labor Council who waited upon him the impression that the recommendations of the commission would. be «considered without delay. POTATO DISEASE IN STATES. Canada May Place An Embargo on Them. A despatch from Ottawa says: A report that it is the intention of the Government to place an embargo upon American potatoes in retalia- tion for the action of the United Btates authorities for declining to allow Canadian potatoes to go into that country is denied in official circles. The claim is made that there is just as much potato disease in the United States as in Canada, and that the object of embargo is to keep the American market for the potato-growers of Maine. A pecu- liar feature of the situation, how- ever, is that while Hon. Martin Burrell has not decided upon a policy of retaliation he has been | practically advised to do so by Dr. Gussow, Dominion Botanist, who has been looking into the potato situation both in the United States and Canada, ---- dl MANY IDLE MEN.
