Sure- ly trains are, at least partially, for the accommodation of the public, particu- larly when they have paid for their construction out of their hard earned money. All of which is respectfully submit- ted. matter, it would be necessary to pack it in two parcels and pay $1 in post- age, a little more than four times as much as the American. farmer has to pay.. Possibly, the Canadian Parcel Post service may be improved and made more useful later. It will no doubt be used to a considerable. ex- tent, and will be a great convenience so. far, as. small parcels under eleven. ‘pounds in weight are concerned. It is not likely, h0wever, that it will be of much value as a medium. between producers and consumers of farm and dairy produce, and it certainly will not be a very serious competitor of the express companies. The-railway com- panies, by a. new arrangement are to get about $1,000,000.a~. year for-canny.- ing the parcel post, and, considering how little their express business will be interfered with, they appear to . have made a pretty 'good‘ bargain ; with. the government. without help. determined by scientific_»examin.ation.. p DON’T NE'cLECT.
