More Than Fair Crops Needed

1t is quite possible in this fertile soil,
abundant water and moderate climate,
to grow fair crops on soil indifferently
prepared. But fair crops do not con-
stitute profitable farming, and farming
that Is not profitable Is poor business
and here IL Is without excuse. Well
prepared land, good seed properly nut
ia, followed by thorough work, insure
good returns. No farmer should be

REPORTED RAILROAD MOVE
Canadian Pacific Road to Acquire
the B. B. & B. c. R.
THE OUTLOOK is PROMISING
Bellingham Bay Presents the Best Rail
road Field in the Puget
Sound Basin

There is little doubt that the Cana
dian Pacific railway has acquired the
Bellingham Bay d British Columbia
railroad, either by purchase or a lease
for a long term of years. a report
states that the board of directors of the
Canadian Pacific, which met at
Montreil yesterday, were to take final
action on this and other matters. ID.
o. Mills is said to have told some OF
the officials about the sale when he
was here recently.
Inquiry at the Bellingham Bay d
British Columbia railroad offices yester-
day only ELECTED the information from
Assistant Superintendent Branin that
the road had been sold many times
according to arumor. Superintendent
StangroJm went to Seattle yesterday
it is said, to meet Robert Kerr, general
freight and passenger agent Of the
Canadian Pacific at Winnipeg, TO con.
fer upon the transfer of the road to the
Canadian Pacific. Mr.. Kerr and Mr.
Downie, general manager of the Cana.
dian Pacific steamship lines, as already
reported in the HERALD, have been In
Port land negotiating for a steamer tc
ply between Bellingham bay and Ia
coma in connection with the Canadian
Pacific. 1t is reported that the traffic
! arrangement subsisting between the
Great Northern and the Canadian Pa
cific will shortly be terminated. The
latter road wishes to shorten the time
between Montreal and Sound point,
fifteen hours, and no agreement could
be arrived at with the Great Northern
for train schedule different from the
one now in force
1t was the general opinion yesterday
in various quarters that the sale of thC
Bellingham Bay & British Columbii
was an accomplished fact.
Important railroad development
here said a prominent citizen, "may
be expected. The fact of the CANADIAN
Pacific securing its own line to Bel
lingham bay is Of great importance T.
US, more so, in fact, than most peopl
I imagine. The Northern Pacific /
bound to follow, and that, too, befor
many months. There is no other pom
on Puget sound where railroade dvelop
ments are rs promising as on BelliHg
ham bay"
