In many ways the Canadian.

East-bound from Van- souver the grades are 4<10ths of .1% to Edmonton, except for some 50 miles," where they are 7-10ths And on the other "spout" of the system from Port Arthur to Montreal they are 4-10ths, with one short exception, ten miles of 5-10fhs The ordinary standard far American transcontinen- tal lines is 2.2%, and the Grand Trunk Pacific alone has reduced this to 1 per cent Distinct from of 1s the rate of grade, which governs. the. number of whi can be hauled by one engine, is the height of the sumit to be cross- ed--the amount of rise and fall which determines the coal consumption.

Sergt.-Major "Jimmie Robinson enjoys the distinction of being the first Canadian to win the D.C.M. in the Great War. He isa veteran of veterans, for despite the fact that his abundance of black hair, his rud- dy healt®-betokening face and -his alertness and vigor, mark him as a sturdy man in the early forties at most, he is in reality cénsiderably older, with a service record covering Just about forty years and including no fewer than five foreign cam- paigns with the colors. He was through the Gulu War of 1879 'with Lord Chelmsfjrd's Sith Regiment, now the 2nd Connaught Rangers. He fought also 'in the Seckakunia campaign of the same year under Sir Garnet, afterwards Lord Wolsley. He went through the first Boer War of 1881, including] the siege of Pretoria, with Gen. Bel- lair. He was in the South African war of 1899-1902 with a Natal In- dian regiment, with the Imperial Light Infantry and swith the Prince of Wales' Light Horse. His peace- time service includes goldiering with the 2nd Royal Dublin Fusiliers in India, from 1884 to 1888; in the Rocky Mountain Rangers at Nelson, B.C.; with the 104th New Westmin- ster Fusiliers; and with the; Hart- MecHarg Company of the 6th Duke of Connaught's Own _Rifles at Van- couver. He went out for the first time/in the present war with the 7th Hat- talion of the 1st British Columbia Regiment, 1st Canadian Expedition- ary Force, under Hari-McHairg, suc- ceeded by Brig.-Gen. Odlum. He was also with George MeSpadden, 11th Irish Fasiliers of Canada, being twice in France and in the thick of events. His D.C.M. was won at Ypres in April, 1915, two months prior te which he was mentioned in de- spatches, Feb. 15, for conspicuous daring and gallantry. "The Old War Horse," Major "Jimmie" is christened in the West, was born on Oct. 31, at Port a'Down, in the County Armagh, being the oldest son of the late John Robinson, and, like his father before him, he has been prominent in Orange circles all his life, He was first a member of No. 417, Lord Ranfurley's Purple Ban- ner Lodge, and latterly with Britan- nia L.O.L., Vancouver, for which he was the principal speaker at this year's 12th of July gathering, the associated guest of honor being Gen. John Hughes. \ saps eens Seen as Sergt.- Captured an Aviator. How a captain of the Canadian Forestry Corps captured an aviator and plane is told me by his comrades. He was awakened at midnight by the hum of a machine over the clearing where his hut was, and rushing out into the moonlight, clad in brilliant hued pyjamas, topboots and armed with revolver; he saw a large plane evidently in difficulties. The machine just managed to dodge the tops of the trees and circled round looking for a better landing. The Forestry officer followed through the woods until it came to earth half a mile away. pa He arrived as the pilot was extri- cating himself, and in fluent German, backed by the point of the revolver, called on the aviator to hold up his hands, and with visions of. honors and awards- marched his prisoner back, plying him with questions in German, to which he could only get They arrived at the mess, where other of- ficers in uniform were, and the cap- tive looked in surprise and asked in English: : ; "Are you British?" On the affirm- ative answer, he delightfully de- clared: "Well, I'm French," and to prove it he pulled off his leather flying overalls, and showed a light blue uni- "3 thought he was German, claimed, pointing to the pyjama-clad captor. The mistake was soon for- gottten in the hospitality of the camp, and 'next day the Forestry Corps salved the machine. "The Only Way" or "C'est la guerre.'
