On the first Wednesday in every May the shareholders gather to hear the president tell of the company's past year and to elect directors to carry on its great work. At these mest- ings are always to be found many of the, country's leaders in industry, commerce and finance representing all parts of the Dominion, and the presidsnt's report is looked upom as an epitomé of business oconditions throughout the whole of Canada. Of co , all the shareholders cannot atténd, they are far too many and they are too widely scattered, par- ticularly in recent years when thé holding of Canadian Pacific stock or bonds has greatly grown in popu- larity among the small investors af the country. If all were present ' the gathering would be & great mass meeting and the country towns, vil- lages dnd even the farming districts of Canada weuld be ted to & surprising extent. » The meeting was this year held on May 6 and the and president, Mr. E. W. Beatty; drew at- tention to the company's lessened earnings during 1924 which had re- sulted from a decrease in the move- ment of manufactured articles and a smaller crop movement for the year. These conditions, he said, had continued during the first three months of the present year, but ment $ April the ..

He pointed out, however, that nel- ther rail nor ocean traffic had reach- ed normal proportions and that until they did so the company's expendi- turés for capital, maintenance and generai operation must be curtailed so far as may be without impairing the high standard at which the pro- perty has always been maintained. Mr. Beatty referred to the govern- ment proposal to subsidize a line of freight steamers on the Atlantic un- der the proposed Petersen contract abd pointed out that particularly during the past 2 years Atlantic ship- ping operations have been conducted with very unsatisfactory financial returns. He said the companies felt they had beén placed on trial and therefore were making the fullest disclosures of the traffie conditions and of the results of the operation a the Canadian Pacific Bteamships, td. Attention was drawn to the need of an aggressive immigration policy and the unsatisfactory results so far this year when 10,792 immigrants came to Canada as against 23,880 during the same period of the pre~ vious year. Mr. Beatty pointed out theré 'was nothing fundamentally un- sound In Canada's immigration laws, but there 'was an apparent lack of concerted and definite policies in Great Britain and on the contirent. There was encouragement in the fact that emtigration from the British Isles was becoming more active, enquiries from the United States were becoming more numerous and the continental fi\}d showed consid- erable promise. In this address Mr. Bedlity felt im- pelled by the prominence which the general railway situation has recent. noticed and welcomed an awakening of public interest quite contrary to the disinterested apathy heretofore rr As the result of a petition from the Charleston Lake Association, 500,000 pickerel fry and 100,000 salmon fry were placed in the waters of the Lake.

Mr. Beatty drew attention to the statement often heard that the present railway situa- tion in the Dominion was due to the fallure in former years of private undertakings, the inférenc¢e being that defects of private owhership and administration resulted in the estab- lishment of public ownership. ~ Mr. Beatty pointéd out that the principal causes of the present unsatisfactory conditions 'was undoubtedly the formation from time to time of poli- cies of extensive new construction and duplication of existing lines in most, if not all cases by govern- ment or with government assistance and in anticipation of a mach greater development than the country has enjoyed." Failure was almost inevitable, Mr. Beatty continued, since the under- takings were 80 far in advance of the country's existing or immediate future requirements, and it did not to him seem material whether the over-ambitious projects were launch- éd by the government of the day or were conceived by individuals or companies. In each case these un- dertakings received the fmancial support of the government and the approval of the people of Canada, without which théy could not have been completed, but in neither case could thelr break-down be attributed to private ownérship. In consequence of the existing con- ditions, there was, said Mr. Beatty, a general and deep-rooted desire for railway economies, for the elimina- tion where possible of intensive tom- petition and duplicate services and the utilization where feasible of joint instead of separate terminal facill- ties. In this connection the presi- dent of the Canadian Pacific Rail* ) System were not constructed as part of one pn Perth Resident Passes. Mrs. Edward McCormick, a highly esteemed citizen and native of Perth, died suddenly in her bed, at her resi- dence on Saturday. She was a daugh- ter of the late James Laurie and Jane Laurie, who for a Jong period conducted a bakery and confection- ery business here. A brother, James A. Laurie, who died some few months ago, was a prominent busi- ness man of Ottawa, and a sister, Mrs. Joh McGillivray, resides in Da- 'kota.

The consolidation of the National System had, he said, brought, in cop- sequence under one administration, lines which were originally designed to be competitive and in no séfie part of a unified system. On the other hand, the Canadian Pacific Railway had been conceived and con- structed as' one system, had been extended from time to time always as a single system, each part of which was planned to support the other. There had further been heavy expenditure of public monies with a view to bringing the national sys- tem lines to a higher state of effl- cieney, in particular by the addition of much modern equipment and pow- er. Since little ;new traffic had been developed in Canada in the last five years and a very moderate amount of new territory opened, the expenditures were aimed to take from the Canadian Pacific Railway as much as improved service and large expenditures could accomplish. As to the larger question of the future relations which the two sys- tems would bear to one another, Mr. Beatty said: "We propose to work in the greatest possible harmony with the National Railways congist- ent with the interests of your pro- perty and of its owners. am convinced that the vast majority of Canadians, especially the business interests of the country, do not de- sire to see the company either ab sorbed or menaced I should add, too, that no proposals of any kind from the company to the Gov- elimination so far as possible of duplicate services." : A WONDERFUL % SKIN SPECIALIST" THIS SEASON'S Straw Hats $2.00, $2.50 and $3.00 George VanHorne 213 Princess Street.
