I had the good fortune to: read the editorial artiele in yo of the Sth entitled "Kings a 2 Grain Trade," and beca | the subject is so serious and 1 a a position tq speak with a certain de- gree of authorfty on acount of a rath jer intimate knowledge of actual con | ditions, I hope you will give me space {for a few comments on points as i which I differ with you entirely I i shall try not to abuse the hospitality | of your columns | Little need be said of the pessi- {mistic tone of the article and its com- | plete indifference to the recent work lof certain public-spirited citizens Perhaps so far as the local papers cir- culaté outside of Kingston a little camouflage may be desirable But for home consumption our facts must be accufately and fairly stited We are in r a long pull and a strong pull and a pull all together, and we shall. succeed if we all understand what we are doing, and if good work in progress is not ignored Knowing you are in earnest and that you had no motive in your ar- i people of Kingston, I feel you will let me take issue with you flatly and firmly on your statement (1) that "some one or two men, or at most a very small party are responsible' for the fact that "Kingston will be left } without any grain trade." £2) » Thdt instead of Kingston reeeiving the trade that shoutd come here, oth er places, not so well situated natur ally, are receiving more than: their share of it (3) That even with our present Larbor the big vessels can come in and unload their cargoes into river barges, and (4) that with the completion of the Welland canal the barges and carriers that ply be jtween Port Dalhousie and Montreal | lake for a cargo instead of picking it {up here n What one or two mem, or small | party in Canada, were in vour mind {did not name them The fact is tnat the closing of the Montreal Trans portation Company's elevator here is a perfectly natural event, due in no degree whatever to the lack of harbor casting a blacker future it augurs well for Kingston grain trade once the Welland ph fra is complet- ed. It simply proves that tran- shipment must _ e place at the foot of deep wafer; and with the new Welland Kingston will be at the foot of deep water. At present Kingston suffers not for lack of adequate har- bor and facilities, but because none of the "big vessels" can get within 200 miles oiNt. I do not think any- one who knows the facts will contra- dict me when I say that'with a deep harbor and a modern transhipping plant we would continue to be a quite negligible factor in the grain trade of Canada---until the new Welland is complete--probably at least four What we can agree upon is that we must 'certainly be ready---with open arms, so to speak---the moment the first big boat can cross the Niagara barrier You mention the government grain elevator at Port Dalhousie. Ot course you mean the elevator at Port Colborne, at the other, the Lake Erie end of the canal This was built quite @ Tong time ago now to retain in Canadian channels (at least until the canal could be enlarged) some portion of the grain that came down in big boats to the foot of Lake Erie and was slipping out through the neighboring port of Buffalo, Port Colborne has recently developed into tations for several reasons, of which the principal one has already been named, The big boats run up to 600 feet in length, but anything over 260 feet is too big for the resent Welland. Many of the boats that were small enough--those like we have seen in our harbor--have got away overseas during the war, and | 4 | er than some expected, and I am sat-| | | ticle other than to wake up the good | | will be running the léngth of Lhe! {1 do not know and do not care.

WELCOMED HOME, many a good ship has gone to the bottom in salt water. Boats of this class cannot any longer compeie pro- fitably with the big fellows from Fort William down because the big bulk---a cargo of siy 300,000 or 400,000 bushels--can be carried at a much cheaper rate than a canal load of a quarter or a fifth the size. These smaller boats are therefore driven into the route from Port Col- borne down to Montreal, where their big rivals cannot carry against them. Why should they break bulk again at Kingston? / I think the good citizens of Kings- ton will understand readily enough that Kingston has temporarily drop- ped out of the grain trade simply be- cause the big boat cannot perform the impossible feat of reaching Lake On- tario at all. and because the smaller boat is in business to make a living rate of freight, which she can de by resisting any invitations we might ex- tend to her to drep her cargo here in- stead of at its destination, Montreal. Let me say that Buffalo has taken 80 much Canadian grain because the man who sells the grain to Europe has sent. it that way, figuring the heap through rate, including in- surance, storage, lake, rail, port fa- cilities' and ocean carriage; and the United States Atlantic seaboard has had the advantage over Montreal in 4 {The carrier has little or nothing to do with the drift of the grain A reasonable share wil lseek any profitable route, but the bulk of it will go the cheapest way.

Cornwall, April 11.--The people of Williamstown, Glengarry county, have just welcomed home two of the village's gallant sons, Major H. J. MeCrimmon and Lieut. Clarence A. Cattanach, the former having spent four years at the front and the latter three years. Major McCrimmon join- ed the Canadian Railway Construc- tion Corps as a private, and received his majority .in 1917. He: was twice mentioned in despatches and was wounded and invalided to Eng- land, Like Major MeCrimmon, Lieut." Cattanach also joined the C. R. C, C. as a private, and secured his Cosuanasision in the field. He made a name for himself for feats of ath- latic prowess previous to joining the army, and for several seasons wis a member of the old Glengarry hockey team. 3 Lieut. Cattanach is the first of pad Cattanach, of the original 42nd, is still in France, while Sergt.-Major W. J. Cattanach, of the 21st, was spring of 1918. : Whole Life on Farm.
