Ti the Sutherland idea, as expressed and legislation, Obam- H E in a resolution in the commons held over, is embodied in the Hydro-Blectric Commission will have a real grievance. It has been the right-of-way for its. transmission lines from Niagara, and in lieu thereof has been making contracts with the farm- ers to allow the property, The assurance, has been giv- en that there will be no danger from by breakages of wire. Mr. Sutherland, M.P., wanted it made an ofienge to' send electricity of more than 30,000 voltage unless on a fenced roadway fifty feet wide, the penalty for violating this order being $10,000. The matter was held in abeyance, and presently there will be another croak avoiding cost of purchasing a lines to cross their accident for Toronto upon the question of pro- vincial rights. Had such a prohibi- tion as that proposed been in force a year ago the Hydro-Electric Commis sion would have been saved a lot of trouble over individual contracts, in ite desire to avoid buying a right-of- for lines. The cheap thing may be the dear one in way its transmission the end. SOME ONE MUST GO. The legislature of Quebec has bad an | S | say. when angry and IS THE BEST { the ory this E. W.

TRADE BY THE CANALS. parison with 4ic. from New York. Ii this competition continues the situa- tion, to Mr. Conlon, lies in the com- pletion of the improvements to Mon- treal, with greater competition wn ocean freight. Mr. Conlon sums up the case as fol- lows: "We have to the south of us a great country, detexy. ined, if possible, to earrfy (our goods as well as their own and the question of cost does not easily deter them. At pre- sent, their cost of freight is about equal to ours, from the head of the lakes to the Atlantie, but they offer ocean rates, Therefore, to successfully compete we must enlarge our canals to make a safe and easy channel to the gulf. It' is necessary, also, to spend more money on our inland wa- terways, to make® 'feeders' for the St. Lawrence. Our governments have yonused railways to the extent of 3350,000,000, The difierenf provinces and municipalities have given them as much more and yet the railways own the property. We have paid $120,000,000 for eanals, and the coun- try owns them and uses them to check the railways that were also huilt with our money, This is . not fair to the vesselmen of this country, who have been instrumental in largely redu¢ing the cost of transportation. As our exports increase our loss to milways will ingrease also. We should, therfefore, spend less money on railways and more on navigation but not on the Georgian Bay canal to permit it to parallel and compete with the St. Lawrence route at a yearly loss of six to eight million dollars, but on 'feeders' to the St. Lawrence, which is now a proved dystem. We should develop the wa- terways of the prairies to enable them to utilize their large lakes and rivers, now partly navigable for hundreds of miles for a cheap class of barges, to garry their products by water to Winnipeg, Hudson Bay and Fort William 'in competition with the rail- ways, and at less than half the cost." It is a question which interests the ople of Kingston all other laces, which have to do with inland and navigation and realize how much ft fiects the future development of the ountry.
