The fruit growers of the province. according to a statement to be pub- lished in the TVovember issue of the Canadian Horticulturist are much pleased at the action of the railway commission in appointinga special committee. including the President of the Ontario Fruit Growers’ Asso- ciation to visnt points in the United States to see what measures have been adopted by the railroads and gfruit growers across the border for‘ the transportation of fruit. A spe- cial eflort will be made by this com- mittee to see if a car can be found that will be suitable for the trans- portation of fruit during the fruit season and that the railWay compan- ies will be able to use at other seas- ons for other purposes. The short season for shipping fruit. has been the chief obsmcle in the past to the supplying of preperiy fitted cars for the trade. “Yes, and there will be great changes during the next fifty years. I am twenty-four years of age now. and I will be seventy-four years of age fifty years from now, if I live that long; yet if the Liberals are victorious they will give the Grand Trunk Railway control of the railway situation for fifty years. The popu- lar sentiment in all progressive countries is moving towards Govern- ment ownership of railways, yet no matter how progressive other county ries may be. Canada will be tied down ' to corporation ownership for fifty years if the Liberals are victorious. and even at the end of that time, while the Government may gain con- trol of the main land between Monc‘ } ton and Winnipeg. all the profitable branch lines and all the terminal facilities on the Eastern section Wlll belong to the Grand Trunk Railway fCompany, and the whole of the *Western section from Winnipeg to the Pacific coast will be owned by that corporation. Under such cir- cumstances the Grand Trunk Rail- way will still control the situation and may be able to dicate terms to the Government electad by our great grandsons. just as it has dictated terms to the Laurier Government to-day.” “ Fifty years is along time. ” said his mother. “I was a young girl fifty years ago. and many things have happened since- There have been great changes in Canada within fifty years.” “Yes” he said. “and a. great many other young men will do the same. but I was thinking that something is to be decided on that day which will afléct us for fifty years.” “You will cast your first vote on that day.” said his mather. looking up from her book with a smile. “The third of November will be one of the most. importentldays in the historv of Canada." said the young man gazing thoughtfully into the fire. \ A young mm and his before an open grate fire.
