Fcnelon Falls, March 19th, 1894. The Fcnolon Falls Gazette. Friday. May 11th, 1894. The Great Incubus. At Winnipeg, a few days ago, Mr. Van Horne, President of the C. P. It, received the usual annual petition for a reduction of freight rates, and in the course of his reply thereto asserted that, as many of the leading merchants of Winnipeg were charging a great deal more for their goods than they could afford to sell them at, he could just as consistently ask them to reduce their prices as they could ask him to reduce his rates. But there is no force what- ever in his argument; for, while the business men of Winnipeg are merely “ making hay while the sun shines ” by taking advantage of circumstances that are at best but temporary and may come to an end at any moment, the C. P. R, safe from rivalry, is master of the situ- ation and has the helpless public of the North-west by the throat. Possessing millions of acres of fertile land, it might be thought that. it would pay the com- pany to encourage immigration by every means in their power; but they have no doubt figured it all out closely, and have arrived at the conclusion that it will be, in the end, more profitable to let the land, which is constantly rising in value, lie idle, and put on the traffic " all that it will bear." It’s Time It Was Settled. The village council is to meet this evening (if nothing occurs to prevent it) for the purpose of settling the long vexed question of exemptions to be granted the Pulp Mill 00., and the different points in dispute are to be argued, before all who choose to be present, by ,‘Mr. John Mcchyn, the village solicitor, and Mr. John A. Bar~ ran, on behalf of the company. When the Pqu Mill Co. came here over eleven years ago an agreement which it was intended should last for twenty years was entered into; but it was afterwards discovered that such an agreement could not be made for more than ten years, nnd, ifit could. the recent insolvency of the company would have dissolved it. The only member of the new company who was a member of the old one is Mr. John R. Soutt, who is a pretty shrewd hand at a bargain, and, being all the property the company may acquire in the future! Twice the coun- cil put into writing What they were prepared to do. and each time. the document came back to them so altered that they hardly knew it. Whether the company are aware of it or not, there are quite a number of ratepayers who are opposed to their having any exemptions at all, and the best thing they can do is to come down from the skies and accede without- further delay to the fair and reasonable terms offered by the eouncil. The T. V. G. Delegation. The Pctcrborough town council last Monday voted a sum of tnoncy to send a delegation to Ottawa in the interest of the Trent Valley Canal, and the Times, which has been very active in working up the excitement, hopes that the delegation will be the largest that ever visited Ottawa, and says that. " chcnp railway fares and moderate hotcl expenses will enable every mun- icipality along the line of the waterway to participate in the good work without hearing too heavily upon the ratepayers." On Wednesday rcevc McFarland receiv- ed a letter or circular from Capt. Bot- tum, warden of the county, stating that tickets from Pctcrborough to Ottawa and back would be issued to delegates for $2.80 and a return ticket from the Falls to Pcterborough is $1.90. As the delegates will have to be away from home for three days, the cost of each one to his municipality will be nearly $9, and we are therefore glad to hear that Fenclou Falls is only asked to send two; but how, at that moderate rate, the talked-of army of a thousand is to be made up we do not know, unless the great majority of them go at their owu expense. The matter is to be considered at the council to-night, and, as “ it is better to be out of the world than out. of the fashion," it is not likely that they will refuse to spend the few dollars necessary to send a couple of the repre- sentatives of the village to Ottawa. It is to be hoped that the delegation will, unlike its predecessors, be able to make- 21 lasting impression on the minds of the Government. m- Village Council.
