Aiter a vote of thanks to retiring of figers, the meeting adjourned, A POPULAR C.P.R. OFFICIAL | | . » eo George Ham is Known the World ' \s : Over Montr¥l Saity Mail I first saw George H. Ham, am- Lassador-in-general and plenipoten- tiary extraordinary of the president of the Canadian Pacific Railway com- pany, in Winnipeg, after the conclu- sion of the Riel rebellion in 1885, and next in the press gallery at Ot- tawa, in the session of 1890, when he was representing the Manitoba Free Press in the fourth estate of parlinment. A year later he took off his journalisic mantle, which he had worn for over thirty years, and be- came head of the publicity bureau of the big Canadian railway, a position which he held until last year, when he was promoted to the more digni- fied: and less arduous post of special 'assistant to the president. "George" (nobody, ever speaks of bim as Mr. Ham) is probably the best known man in Canada. Any number of peo- ple who would not know Premier Borden if they saw him on the street (or for that matter, a majority of the public mén of the country) know George, and they all love him. His acquaintance is as wide as the do- minion, nay, as broad as the earth itself, because 'there is not a civiliz- ed mation which has not, at some time since 1891, had a representative who has enjoyed the acquaintance of the genial George Although not a newspaper man in the direct sense of the word, for twenty-three years, George fis still, always has been, and always will be, ! in honorary, and honored member of 'the fraternity. No press Eathering, whether at Otta- wa or elsewhere, is'compiete without the presence of George Ham, and no outing of the press women is a sue- cess unless they have with them their "daddy," whose wit is only equalled by his courtesy and whose careful- ness as to the details of everything he undertakes is matched only by his extraordinary repertoire of stories, dealing with men and things, told only as he ean. Like William Wainwright, of the Grand Trunk, George Ham las a store of reminis- cences which the world would give much to read. Will it ever have the 'chance? I wonder, dnd am afraid not. 5 Easter gifts for men : £1.30 slippers, i The; Sle. ties, 25¢.; President braces, } 4%. Dutton's sale.

How- ever, if it was found that/the iron and -steel man at Sydney and Ham- | ilton took advantage of the duty to raise prices to the nail manufactur- | ers the government would take steps to remove the duty. There! was also an increase in the duty on rolled iron and steel beams.and other merchantable mill , products, | and some changes of relativey less importance with regard {o draw- backs fo Canadian manufacturers on imported pig iron and bitunmrin- ous coal imported by coke oven pro- | ting purposes. Ove of the most interesting of the ! tariff changes is the adoption of the | Drit'sh and United States legislation prohibition after Jan. 1st nest, the importation of aigrettes, osprey | plumes and feathers, quills, wings or parte, either raw or manufactured, of wild 'ifirds. - This prohitktion, how- ever, does not apply to . ostrich, pheasant or peacock plumes. or the plumages of birds used as diet. Other Interesting Items Some of the other changes are follows : dritish preference is increased two to three cents amyl used for metal varnishes, is put the free list; trade journals are al | lowed to bring in loose inserts of | fashion plates, etc., free; the duty on | caustic soda and hyperchloride of | lime Ys increased by 7% per cent. un der the British preference, and by 10 per' cent, under the general tarifi. There is a considerable Mst of jute. as | from aléohol on cloth, yarns used for the manufac- ture of socks and stockings, and other items used as raw material of woollen magnfacturers included among the contpodithes on which =a drawback of 99 per cent. is allowed | when mamifactured into the finished | product... In afl thers are some six ty changes, most of - them of a minor | character, in the seven hundred odd items in the present tariff schedules. Revival of National Policy Ottawa, April 7.--The general im- pression created from the budget Speech delivered by Hon. W. T. White, minister of finance yesterday is that the government intends to stand by the national policy, as in the past, and to make its next appeal } to .the people so far as the tariff! is concerned, on the protectionist ticket. It is not idered _here that the feduction made in the du- ties on binders and mowers is to be taken as an Indication of a tendency toward lower tariffs on the part of the government. This is practical- ly the only item revised downward | as announced by Mr. White and that | minister has declared that in view! of the high state of proficiency Mw | reached by the manufacturers of | these implements, and in view of the! fact that they are exporting heavily, | a reduction is justified, and is after all, not contrary to the principles of | | the national, policy, which provides for "adequate" protection only. It was arranged this morning that the budget debate will be proceeded With at once as several members on both sides of the house are desirous of being heard before the Easter ad- Journment. A. K.
