A casual reading of it would lead one to baliere that it was asking for a Par- liamentary committee to diecuss freight rates in general, and not a parliamentary committee tu discusa whether the Crows Nest Puss Agreement was to cjme into effect again or be subject to a further suspension. The Crows Nest Pass Agree- ment was an agreement entered into by he C. P. R. and Western Canada regard- ne; the scale of rates for freight, certain particular articles being named. Uu aacount of the unfoerseen conditions cf ,Ue war, this agreement was snspanded hree years ago, and if nothing la done, t will automatically come into force again ou the sixth day of July. I was from the first suspicious of referring this subject tu a committee where experts lor nil way* can coma with a multiplicity of evidence, but the country people and the village and ton people who have suffered long, would uot come before this com- nut:. , , my uf them not being In a financial condition lo do so.

The Conservatives brought in an amendment saying that all the information that cuu'.d be given was t-ibukted by the Hallway Commisiion aud thit the evidence needed should be g )t from tht source. Our group took j their stand that an agreement was an] agreement, a sacred thw, not a mere scrap of piper. We occupied a DC(qM| position, and in half an li in we voted, twice, once against the Opposition aid , with the Government unce against the i ; '\i-in.n. in with the Opposition, thts establishing our perft-ct independence. Mr. Kennedy, llio Minister of Railway?, in (peaking to this resolution, adui.tted that this parliamentary commit' ee wuuld not have auy power to atato gen-- f rally freight rates, because that cou.d oii'y il'-c.'l whether or not the Crnws Nest Pats Agreement should be set aside fur further period uf time.

A Remarkable Hen Sam Jenkins of Mary strver, Orange- ville, is the owner of a ban that) has already turned 28 and is still doing a cackling business at the old stand. Mr. Jenkins secured the hen, which i of no particular breed, and cannot boast of purple blood, 29 years tgo, and her former owners had her for six years, so there ia no doubt whatever about the age of this elderly hen. Mrs. tUn is not much the worse for wear and pro duoes her regular quota of eggs juit like her greatgreatgreat grandchildren. When she 1-iy.i an egg she is so proud of her work that she cackles more than nil the other hens put together. Sam prizej his ancient cackler very highly and has refused many offers for hue- Sun.
