In spite of the denals by the interior de-

several thousand Canadian woodmen to
clear III the pine from lands possessed by
them and over which they have control in
Minnesota, and to saw logs into lumber
for the American market
The idea he admitted had some political
significance. The syndicate owns, he said,
n vast tract of Canadian timber land. The
Canadian government imposes duty OF
81 "A thousand feet on logs and the Ameri-
can government taxes sawed lumber so
that the profits to Canadian lumbermen
are Sawed oil" each way. The new COM
pany proposes TO clear the lands under its
control as rapidly as possible in order that
the sentiment in relation to free lumber
may grow more rapidly. Then when the
necessary legislation Is secured through
congress Canadian lumber will be run in
TO compete with the American product.
The Canadian syndicate will be repre-
sented In Washington this winter.

The New York Elevated Roads.

That was an interesting statement when
was published yesterday concerning the bust
ness Of the Manhattan Elevated railroad. In
thirteen years the number Of passengers car
red annually has increased from 6i4,025 to
ll5,lt9, 1881, more than LIS times while the
gross receipts have gone up from S64 COZ to
s1,426, PIC 2S or about l02 times. To 1877 the
statistics are those Of New York Elevated only.
Those of 1873 are OF the New York Elevated
for the year and the Metropolitan Elevated for
four months. From that time on all the roads
are included The increase of passengers
from 1879 10 1sS6, the year ending Sept 81 is
from 46045, Isl TO l15,l09,i9l. The daily av-
eragc carried last month was 1853, and the
largest number Of passengers ever carried in a
day was $50 III, on June ;, 1856 This extra
ordinary record Of the growth OF the business
is made more gratifying by the fact that only
one life has been lost 10y passenger on board
Of the cars, and In that case death was the re-
suit Of the passengers own negligence. This
is unique in the history Of railroads With
existing facilities the roads can carry 200, 600
