Some two months ago. this company, [ though Mr. J. I). McDonald, was ap- proached on the matter of the League’s annual excursion to Niagara‘ Falls. Though the. company didn’t. absolutely refuse their request, for the outing, which has always been a money-maker for the railroad company in particular, they didn’t fall over any thing in accepting the proposition but took their good time, a month or over, in answering the League’s com- munication. The next thin was to get the train schedule an rates, which were finally worried out of them in another three weeks, to- gether with transportation for two men to post the bills in the towns as far south as Elora. When all the red far south as Elora. \Vhen all the rvd tape and delay demanded by the . company had been gone through, the committee on this end of the line found that they had only from Mon- day till Friday, of the same week to advertise the affair and let the people in the various towns know about it. Just why theGrand Trunk do not take more interest in these affairs. and give their patrons time sufficient to properly advertise. is hard to un- derstand, as the railway company is the one who benefits most by the transaction. We think it would he better for all concerned if they told the League, or any other organiza- tion, to go plump, than adopt the course they are pursuing. In another year the C. P. R. will be running through this country. and if they get the bulk of the business out of Dur- ham. it will not be sur rising to us.» \Vhile it may he consigered a favor for the Grand Trunk to grant these excursions. still, we think they al- ways look out for No. l in any of their , deals. and a person does not consider , himself under any great obligation to L a party or company when he pays , for everything he gets.
