Dominion Traffic WAYS,


OTTAWA. Ont. Aug. 25.-The land in
the railroad belt of British Columbia is now
the market, and an Office for the admins
tratiOn of dominion lands will be opened in
New Westminster, b. c., as soon as
the surveys, which are now pro-
ceeding, are completed. If the
cost of deepening and improving
the mouth of the Frazer river for admission
OF vessels of deep dTaught is found to be
too much. then an effort will be made to
get government appropriation for that
purpose. 1t is proposed to construct a
canal between Mud bay and The Frazer.
The present distance between Mud bay
and New Westminster is fifty miles,
but by the construction of a
canal the diStancewOuld be reduced to eight
miles. If lands in the railway belt are
dominion lands, then it is urged that fed
erai authorities should open up the cOun-
Try by Il system of roads. SURVEYS are
now going forward to have branch road
from New Westminster and an extension
to the Cool HarbOr. both to make close con-
nectiOn with the main line with the Cana
dian Pacific railroad. The routes have
not been definitely determined. 1t is not
known whether any part of the Canadian
Pacific railroad in British Columbia has
been accepted by the government. 1t is
believed, however, that the government has
taken over the section between Port Moody
and Emery, subject to- the performance of
certain works considered necessary to the
fulIIllment OF the contract. but the govern
ment does not care to declare the road open
for traffic, and will not assume the re-
spOnsiblity.

More Trackage at Duluth.

President Hill OF the Manitoba road.
while at Duluth, was interviewed by Her
aid reporter, to whom he talked in his pc
euliar way:
rs there some new project on foot, Mr.
Hill, that concerns Duluth?' was asked
mo" replied Mr.. Hill, I'VE ship large
amount of grain here and we have come to
make general inspection; to look around
and see what has been done in regard to
these terminal facilities"
Mr.. Hill then, with pencil and paper in
hand. explained the facilities which the
growth OF the grain traffic here requires.
He said:
In the season the Manitoba railroad
alone sends in here 300 cars; that is one
days business. Now, car is 80 feet long,
that Is 5000 feet; but you have 10 provide
for empty cars, and for moving them about;

THEY ARE SATISFIED.

The Rev. Downs, pastor of the BOwdoin
Square church in Boston, who was found
occupying equivocal relations with a lady
parishioner few days ago, has satisfied his
congregation that his intentions were hon
orabe and he has permission from them to
go ahead with his spiritual administrations.
1t may be all right in Boston, and strictly
in the line of honorable conduct for min
lister of the gospel to be suddenly surprised
at night in lady's bedroom, without her
husbands knowledge, behind a locked door
with the light turned down, the keyhole
covered and his pastoral person Invested Of
its clothing, and the lady being similarly
attired. but with our crude notions Of min
isterial department out here in the North
west we would regard it a wide-open gospel
policy which would permit such things to go
unrebuked.

OUR HONOR INVOLVED.

If it was an original proposition we
would most probably not insist upon Mr..
KEILEY's appointment as minister to Aus
tria. But as he was appointed and the
Austrian government has declined TO re-
ceive him on the ground that bis wife was
a JeweSs the GLOBE has no hesitation in
saying that it is the duty of the secretary
of state to maintain the dignity of this
government and to resent the insult to our
nation. The refusal of the Austrian govern
ment to admit KELLEY is a blow at the
fundamental principles Of our free govern
ment. There is no reason why we should
tamely submit to such treatment from an
effete monarchy. 1t is the misfortune of
this country that man with the spirit of
WILLIAM l.. MARCY is not at the head OF
the state department TO teach the insolent
monarchies of Europe lesson worth re-
Numbering.

AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS NFAMY.

AN INSTALLMENTPL PLAN INFAMY.
People with limited means, who read the
generous terms offered them in the adver-
tisements of agents who sell on the INSTALL
ment plan, never dream that there is death
in the pot. That such is the case, however,
is proven by an occurrence of recent date in
Brooklyn. The metropolitan newspapers
tell of poor woman who had bought set
of furniture, the payments for which were
to be made weekly. She had succeeded in
liquidating all of the debt except 50. In
default of the prompt payment of this last
installment, she was subjected to the most
brutal treatment by four men who under
took to remove the furniture. According
to the testimony of her daughter. one Of the
men pinned her against the wall with a
chair while the others undertook to
throw the chattels from the window.
In her struggles her hands were lacerated
and bled, and the snext day she died. At
the inquest the physician testified that she
died from the effects of excitement caused
by the rough treatment, and the coroner's
jury found a verdict accordingly. Now
the four installment plan agents languish in
Jail, awaiting trial for murder. The law.
whose protection they denied to the poor
widow, will now be invoked TO award just
punishment to them for their brutality. A
Brooklyn newspaper took the affair up and
secured and printed the form of contract
used by the party from whom the woman
bought the furniture. 1t purported to be a
chattei mortgage, while, in effect, it is a
simple agreement to rent the furniture,
passing no title to the buyer until the whole
purchase money was paid, and having no
claim to the money that had been paid over.
The installment plan has its conveniences
to people of limited means, but people who
buy on it should be careful as to the terms
of the contract and the quality of their bar
gain. Dealers who abuse the system often get
twice the value of their goods and when a
default occurs in a single payment they get
the goods back into the bargain. AS long
as there are people of limited means the in
stallment plan will be resorted to. The
only advice that can be given to those who
have to resort to it is to buy only of repu-
table dealers and to be sure that they under
stand the exact terms of the contract be-
fore they bind themselves to its observance.

THE PRICES,

The stock market was more active yester-
day than the day before. Reports were put
in circulation to the effect that the frost had
done serious damage to the corn crop in the
Northwest, and, though these reports were
contradicted, and it was shown that the frost
did not extend as far south as the corn fields,
the damage done to the Omaha and North
western stocks was not remedied. Though
they recovered some Omaha common re-
manned at the close 32s per cent. and the
preferred per cent. lower than they closed
the day before, while the Northwestern

WHO WHITING Is.

The news from Iowa is most encourag-
ing. The GLOBES special from Des
MOines gives an interesting sketch of the
next governor of Iowa. Judge WHITING
is man of whom any state should be
proud. With such candidate in the field.
and upon such platform as was adopted at
the Cedar Rapids convention, it is an insult
to the intelligence and a reflection upon the
integrity of the people of Iowa to say that
defeat for the Democracy is possible. The
only argument that the opposition can
bring against the ticket is sneer, because
the candidate for governor is a modest man
and plain farmer. So was CINCINNATUs
and SO was GEORGE WASHINGTON. And
yet in all the world they have never been
surpassed in the qualities Of true greatness.
The taunting inquiry of the opposition,
"Who is WmTING?" will be answered BY
the people in laundering tones at the state
election, He is our governor"

COLLAPSE OF THE CURRENT.

ened out and the paper would he continued.
The paper is not in bad condition, and if
Manager WAKEMAN had not become dis
couraged and slipped away there would
have been no trouble. The liabilities are
less than S., ZOO, while the plant is worth
$50. 600 or $40, 900. The only trouble was
lack of ready money, which would be sup
piled by friends if Mr.. WAKEMAN was
there to look after it. His personal affairs
were in bad shape. 1t is not believed that
he ran away, but that he was in such a
mental condition because of his personal
troubles that he went off in the hope that a
change of scene would bring relief. His fam
lily left Chicago several months ago and are
now with his wife's father at Hastings, in

Further Discussion.

There was great deal of gossiping done
on the streets and in railway circles yester-
day OH the action which the Manitoba road
is thought likely to commence. Among 4
few il was considered q being an absolute
necessity for the Manitoba TO build such
an extension, as was outlined in Yesterdays
GLOBE, for the protection of its interests
against the roads which are building into
territory which has heretofore been only
traversed by it. Railroads now days are,
by common consent, divided by territory.
The Manitoba is in worse condition than
the Northern Pacific or the Canadian Pa
cific, as it has no outlet like the other roads.
1t has to give its passenger traffic to the
Northern Pacific at Fargo and GlyndOn
which is destined to Duluth and points
East by water route. For its freight traf-
iie to Duluth il mas to divide the through
traffic with the st. Paul & Duluth. which
hauls from Hinckley TO Duluth, and the route
is much longer one than that by the
Northern Pacific from Fargo TO Duluth.
BY building the line via Leech Lake from
Crooksten to Duluth the Manitoba would
protect itself so well that the Milwaukee q
st. Paul. the Chicago Il Northwestern and
the Rock Island would probably not build
the extensions into Northwestern territory

Associafion Meeting.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO. Aug. 25.-Representatives of
the lines interested in Iowa, Minnesota and
Dakota traffic were in session to-day. The
action affecting any one class was the ar
ranging OF rates to the Minnesota state fair
at st. Paul and the Iowa state fair
at DeS Moines. The main points
were that all articles intended for
exhibit would be charged full rate one way
and returned free to the place of shipment
if remaining unsOld. This includes all
classes of exhibits except live stock and
race horses, upon which no reduction will
be made. Among other Things it was
agreed that in the future charge should
be made for icing all foreign refrig-
orator cars transported over the
several lines. \ special rate was made on
iron bridge material Of 10 cents per 100
pounds. and merchant iron and nails of 1917
cents per 100 pounds. from Chicago to st.
Paul The notice of withdrawal given by
the Diagonal line from the Marshalltown
pool was not considered, it being under
stood that the lines interested would ar
range the matter among themselves.

Pooling Fargo business.

interesting rumOrS come to the front once
more and say that several conferences have
been held between Northern Pacific. Mil
waukee " st. Paul and Manitoba traffic
officials in regard to forming a pool on
Forge and WahpetOn business. Though the
rumOr that conferences have been held is
not confirmed, it is admitted officially that
attempts have been made and there is still
an EFFORT being made in that direction. The
Milwaukee " St Paul road, it is stated. is
anxious to form pool with the other two
roads. and if a pool cannot be formed then
an agreement will be entered into for the
maintenance of rates. 1t appears that the
rates were not restored as agreed at tbe
former meeting. but they have been kept i'm
Statu quo. The Milwaukee Il st. Paul
claims that it has a line as good as any
other corporation for freight business be-
tween st. Paul and Fargo. and that it is
capable OF hauling as much business as any
other line. The reason which it gives for
wishing to form pool is that its local bus
mess Is light, and it wants some through
business to help to sustain the road from
Ort0nville to Fargo, along which there are
no important stations. 1t has found out
that IN assuming control of the Fargo
Southern it has taken an elephant to keep
which there is no profit in. There is some
difficulty, however, in the formation of such
pool. At one conference the Milwaukee
" IT. Paul wanted to resume the right to
equaliZe rates on certain commodities laid
at Duluth at the same rates as to Chicago
and Milwaukee. This would enable the
Milwaukee u st. Paul to ship coal. which
article was chiefly specified, from Chicago
ana Milwaukee at the same rate as by the
Manitoba or Northern Pacific to Fargo from
Duluth, while the distance from Chicago to
Fargo is three times greater than from
Duluth to Fargo. 1t is stated that the
Manitoba was willing to consent to the
Milwaukee Il st. Paul's terms, but the
Northern Pacific would not, and there the
matter rests. What will now be done is
undecided, but it is likely that another con-
ference will be held in few days and some
plan agreed uDOn.
