Even many Canadians have failed to note the full significance of the prospective changes and shifts which are due to become actualities within so short a time. Mankind‘s immemorial motivating imâ€" pulses, the need of wheat for food and the desire for gold, either literâ€" ally or in its equivalent form of metâ€" als less precious but equally necesâ€" sary in the world‘s work, are the two prime factors in the urge which is rolling Mack Canada‘s northern fronâ€" tier three, four and even five hundred miles ‘into regions which but a few years azo were looked upon as barren and inkospitable wastes, but which are now known to include areas incaleuâ€" lably rich in natural resources or agricultural potentiailties. Ten years ago there was a genernl] agreement on the part of Canudianai that railway expansion in the Doâ€", minion had outstripped the needs of , the country to a degree that placed ; a heavyy burden upon the publlc.' Of three transcontinental systeéms, one at least, it was believed, was superâ€" fluous. With the Canadian Northern lines bankrupt, the Grand Trunk Paâ€" cific tardy in meeting its obligations and the original Grand Trunk embarâ€" rassed by the difficulties of its Westâ€" ern subsidiary, the Government of the day felt constrained to step in and take over the trio, consolidating them with the Intercolonial into the present Canadian National Railways, with a trackage. of more than 20,000 mile«, approimately equal to the mileâ€" age of the CP.R., the other great Canadian system. In â€"addion. there were probably another 5,000 miles of railway under independent corporate or provincial ownership, a total mileage hugely out of proportion to the population of the country and its transportatin reâ€" quirements Heavy Deficits Faced One of the most serious conseâ€" quences was the operation of the Canadian National for years at the price of heavy deficits in running costs, not to mention unpaid interest charges, all of which came out of the pockets of Canadian taxpayers. Unâ€" EenoV Sm oo es der the skilfu? management of Sir Henry Thornton, the operating deâ€" ficits were gradually eliminated and replaced with surpluses, but it took time to allay the feeling that Canada was "overrailwayized."

Otherâ€"provinces have not been so fortunate, but Alberta has just made a favorable bargaia by which the Canadian Pacific has taken over the Alberta & Great Waterways Railâ€" way and the Edmonton, Duavegan & British Columbia Railway, which have for years been heavy liabilities to the province. In part they serve the Peace River Country, where world‘s prize wheat and oats are now " being grown, and where millions of ‘ acres of the richest farm lands await °: the settlement which has hbeen reâ€" ° tarded by inadequate railway facilities * and lack of a direct dutlet to the Paciâ€" ‘ fic Ocean.
