FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1913. The Trent Canal. a“ From the Peterhoro Review. A Government report recently is- sued states that the total expenditure to date'on the Trent Valley Canal is $11,302,045, of which $309,000 was spent prior to Confederation. During the year 57,000 tons of merchandise were moved on the canal, an increase of 11,027 tons. Of the cargoes, 34,000 tons consisted of lumber. This indicates that though over $10,000,000 has been spent on the Trent Canal, so far as real, beneficial traffic is concerned, the expenditure has been much a failure. To move 50,000 tons in a years is no great thing for a canal in this part of On- tario. The traffic is not at all com- mensurate with the amount of money spent on it. If there is any more conclusive argument why the canal should be rushed to completion at both ends, to open it up to through traffic instead of making it serve mere- ly local purposes, we would like to have it presented. ~Very often when a man or corporation finds he or it only to find the result quite inade- quate, he or it finds it good business toput some more money into it to complete the canal. If the Welland Canal were dug from Port Colborne to within a mile of Port Dalhousie, but that last mile left undug for lack of funds, of what use would that canal be “I The money in it would be wasted, unless that last mile were constructed. So with the Trent Canal. It ends in Rice Lake on one end and Lake Sim- coe on the other, neither of which. are “anywhere.” It is too, shallow, too narrow, there are too many locks, and importance under-,present circumstan- ces; If it were extended to Georgian Bay and to Lake Csntario and were put into as good shape in the central districts as possible, it would be of some service to general navigation. .The transporting of a mere 50,000 tons of material in a season would not be the limit of its. usefiilness. \ Time to. Protest. From the Toronto Globe. itarists bravely. Recently Col. Sam told an an admiring audience that the bayonet was a more effective aid of civilization than. the. missionary. Now Colonel James L. claims that cadet training will transform a. boy’s life and, develop his character better than any minister can do. by theological agree with the philosophy of the mili- protest, for from talking militarism; to practising it is a short: step. From the Toronto Star. In Peterborough 2,000,,votes were cast for prohibition, and 1,500 against. The ibyâ€"law was lost because of the three- 'flf:th,s majority, which would have been â€"â€" 2,100 against 1.400. ' In the last Dominionelection 660,000 votes were cast for Mr. Borden, and 600,000 against him, and the victors al- ways describe the victory as over- whelming. Yet it was not a three-fifths Ivote or anything like it. Three-fifths of 1,260,000 which was about the total vote cast, is 756,000. With a three-fifths ma.- jority, one party would have cast 756,000 votes,,aud the other 504,000, a majority of 252,000. This is nearly 200,000 more cribed as overwhelming. Either local option received an over- whelming majority in Peterboro or the victory of September, 1911, was about a Large Vote Polled. A comparison of the number of votes polled this year with the number polled in 1912 for council shows that only one candidate this year polled fewer votes last year, with 132 votes. L. Deyman was the leader this year with 171 votes to his credit.

Large Meeting Unanimously Supports Project. â€"-â€"- A large and enthusiastic gathering listened to Mr. C. N. Armstrong, Vice- President, and Mr. F. S. Maclennan, K. 0., a. Director of the Central Railway of Canada, yesterday after- noon in Twome ’s hall, when the pr'opOsitions of t 9 new line ware ex- plained by the gentlemen mentioned. Many farmers were present at the meeting, and took a. lively interest in the proceedings.’ . The object of the visit of the offic- ials of the road was, briefly, to secure the endorsation of the people of the town in the form of resolutions asking the Dominion and Ontario Govern- ments to grant to the Central Railway the usual subsidies given to other lines, "and to consider favorably the proposal to allow the Intel-colonial . Railway running rights Over the Cen- tral Railway’s tracks. It is almost unnecessary to say that the meeting was unanimous in passing the resolu- tions, which are herewith appended. Dr. Mason, M. P. P., chairman of the meeting, Mr. M. H. McCallum, Presi- dent of the Board of Trade, Mr. A. Tiers, Reeve of the town, Rev. C. S. Lord, Mr. M.W. Brandon, Mr. J. J. Lee and Mr. N evison all spoke briefly, and Voiced the general sentiment in expresssing a strong desire to see the new line constructed and become an accomplished fact. , Mr. Armstrong outlined the plans of the railway, which are to build a through line between Montreal and Midland, with extensions to Toronto, Port Stanley and Goderich. A map of the route was exhibited. Fenelon Falls will in all probability be a div isional point. The company is not asking a bonus, but only the endorse- ment of the people of the district that will be served by the new line, in order :to secure the fair and proper consideration from, the governments that the project is entitled to. Mr. Maclennan also addressed the meeting, showing the advantages of the Central Railway to the country in general, and to the section it would open up in particular. Construction work will commence at the earliest possible mo- ment, and it is expected the main line will be completed by the end of 1914:. Following are the resolutions that were passed : Moved by Dr. H. B. Johnstdne, sec- onded by Jas. Dickson, D. L. 3;, That this meeting is of the opinion that the construction of the Central Railway of Canada as a high-class, low-grade rail- way from Montreal to Midland via Haw- kesbury, Carleton Place, Echelon Falls and Port Stanley would be of great ben- efit to the Province of Ontario and the Dominion of Canada. Moved by M. W. Brandon, seconded by Samuel Corbett, That in view of the of Ontario from the construction of the Central Railway of Canada, which prac- tically for half its lengths passes through territory almost entirely without rail- way facilities, the Government of the Province be. requested to grant such assistance toward its construction as it has given in the case of other railways. ed.- by ME. Rieve, Manager Bank of B. N. A, That considering that the construc- tion- of the Central Railway of Canada .between Midland and Montreal by way of Hawkcsbury, Carleton Place, Fenelon Falls and Orillia will provide the short- est possible routo between Montreal also provide railway facilities to a large and important district in Central Ontar- io, now entirely without them, and many desirable additional transportation ad- vantages to'other districts, the Govern- ment of Canada should give the most liberal aid towards the construction of the line. Moved by M. H. McCallum,â€"Seconded by Geo. Martin.â€"That the extensxon of the Intercolonial Railway system into the Province of Ontario has become an. imperative act of justice towards its ratepayers, who from the commencement of the construction of that line have been the largest contributors to its cost. That in the opinion of this meet- ing the proposal that the Government of Canada should’obtain for the Inter- colonial trains running rights over the Central Railway of Canada from- Mid- land, Toronto and Port Stanley via Stratford and London, is one that should have immediate and serious considera- tion, as it would provide all thefacili- tics required without any capital ex- penditure on the part of the Government,_ 0.
