A SUBSIDY SCHEME.
Canada Preparing to Compete With New
York and R0stnn Shins.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. Sit appears after
all that the dominion government has de-
cided to exclude Boston and Portland as
ports of call for the line of ocean steamers
it proposes to subsidize for carrying At
lantic mails between Canada and Great
Britain. The government has decided on
| securing line of steamers which can sue
cessfully compete with the New York
and Boston lines for the passenger
traffic crossing the Atlantic. At pres
ent 80 per cent OF the Canadian pas
sengers go and come by New York lines.
Mail matter from western Canada for the
continent goes the same way, as more
reliable and furnishing quicker dispatch.
The government has now under eonsidera-
ton an offer from wealthy English firm.

ne hilaH line, whose contract WIFI the
government expired some time ago, and
which is now running under temporary
| arrangements, received $4,000 subsidy
per aDnuln from the dominion government
for carrying the mails. Tenders received
for the new service are greatly in excess of
this amount, but the government is deter
mined now at any cost TO place the fastest
line of steamers it can secure on this
route. This fast ocean service is
10 form part of Sir John Macdonald's
Canadian Pacific railway scheme, which
his political opponents predicted he would
never be able to carry out. His idea is to
have direct and purely Canadian line
from China TO Europe utilizing the water
stretches of the Pacific and Atlantic by
placing on both oceans line of fast steam
ships to connect at Vancouver and Halifax
with the Canadian Pacific railway. To
carry the project out he is prepared TO go
to any length, so long as the resources of
the treasury at his disposal holds out.

IMPORTANT LAND-T1X CASE

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. "a case of far
reaching Importance was begun this after
noon before Judge Perkins, of the Thir-
teenth judicial district. The case involves
the tax-ability of lands which the Chicago,
st. Paul Minneapolis and Omaha railroad
is interested in, in Jackson, Cottonwood
and Marine counties. A number of years
ago an extensive grant of land
was made to the St Paul and
Sioux City railroad company, embracing
some 100000 acres. Somewhere about
1881 this land was transferred to the
Omaha road. though the Sioux City re-
tainS its name TO the present time, and
has It's regular land commissioner The
Omaha road claims that the land under
from local taxation, the counties claiming
just to the contrary. The company claims
also that they have paid the required }
per cent tax on the gross earnings OF the
road which the law requires, as an equiva-
lent for not taxing the land locally. The
Omaha road. since il came into possession
of the land, has been selling it to settlers
right along. There is some question as TO
whether the rights of these settlers stand
in any danger of being invalid, but it is
quite probable that the legislature would
be asked to relieve them in such a case. as
there is precedent for so doing The case
which came up today is made UP for the
purpose of testing the whole matter Very
much is involved III the outcome and the
result will he waited for with deep inter
est. The case Is essentially an isolated one
in this particular, as the charter of the
company is an individual one, and not
subject TO precisely the same restrictions
and limitations as are other charters.
Ii the amount Of land now involved and
which will be directly affected by the de
cision should 20 back to the government,
the country would be Obliged to refund
taxes amounting TO sS,000, which would
bankrupt it, iuiunctjons have been served
on the squatters by the original settlers.

not settled before seeding time great deal

John A. Sims, on Monday evening, shot
and instantly killed Pies Payne at Arkado,
Fannin county. Both the deceased and
his slayer were regarded az good, peace
able, law abiding citizens in the COM
munity where they lived, aud at the time
of the killing we're living together. Pies
Payne went out about dusk to feed his
horses, and on returning to the house he
brought back stick OF firewood in his arms.
AS he reached the d0orsteps Sims fred at
him with a Al calibre pistol and deceased
fell down, drop ping the wood, exclaimed:
"You have killed me-" Sims replied
"That's what want to do" and went out
to where deceased fell and shot him the
second time. Sims went TO Bonham
Thursday night and surrendered TO Sheriff
: Evans, and now says he thought he was
killing one Walls, another neighbor, in
stead of Payne. That ne had heard the
Walls boys plotting to take his (Simso
life, and that he thought deceased was
Walls approaching with gun. The
strange thing of the killing is that there
was no difficulty known or bad feeling be-
tween the parties at the time or prior to
the killing. The whole affair is wrapped
| in mystery.
