Pacific to Atlantic. Commencing at
Victoria we have traversed its COM
modious harbors and bays, crossed its
greatest rivers, its ponderous bridges
and its deepest ravines. We have en-
tered its marvellous canons, pierced by
innumerable tunnels, and from the
peerless walls of the Selkirks, we have
looked down into canons of almost un-
known depths. We have climbed to
eternal snow and eaten our dinner
among the glaciers of the Selllirk
mountains amid alternate cloud and
sunshine, and also ascended the Rock
les to their very SUBMITS and taken
our supper among the wild alpine flow
ers of the Continental Divide.
From these lofty heights we have
descended to the valleys and traVersed
the broadest plains, through the great
est cattle ranches. the finest agricul-
tural lands and the greatest wheat
fields amidst the largest yields on the
earth. We have traVersed the haunts
of the great game of North America
and visited the noted Indian reserVa-
tions of the Dominion guarded by the
finest body of mounted police in the
world. These weeks and months of con-
tinuous travel in the midst of all this
magnificent scenery and never ending
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-01-09

surprises, have been like one protracted
holiday. How we have recorded the
events of our long journey Is for our
readers to say. Sometimes the grandeur
of the scene has been so inspiring,
that we could but revenently eXclaim,
How great are Thy works, Lord, God
Almighty" Sometimes our feelings
could be better expressed by a row of
exclamation points, !! ! or by
series of disconnected adjectives. Some
times our letters have been written on
flying trains; at other times in the
small hours of the night, with the body
Wearied and the brain tired from eX-
cessive sightseeing. 1t is, too, a mat
ter of regret that while we have seen
so much, we have for lack of time been
compelled to omit seeing and to pass
over other places of interest and in
struction. The immense scope of terri
tory traversed has expanded our ideas
(and we trust those of our readers),
giving us enlarged views of this
mighty American Union and its vast
wealth and possessions; also of the
great Canadian heritage, and we return
to our home prouder than ever of the
great land whose borders are protected
by the Stars and Stripes on the one
hand and the Union Jack on the other
side of the boundary, awaiting the time
when, by peaceable annexation, the
Ruler of Nations shall unite the two
great English-speaking considerations
now Joined together by nearnesS of
habitation as well as ties of blood, into
a still greater nation, over which "Old
Glory" shall float forever supreme.

ENGLISH RAILWAY STATISTICS

From the Detroit Tribune.
The report of the business of all
railroads in Great Britain and Ireland
during the year ending Aug 10, 1896,
has just been presented to parliament
by the board of trade, and it gives
some interesting statistics for COM
parlson with American railway busi-
ness. According to the report the to-
tai mileage in the kingdom is 21, ia
miles, an increase of 266 miles over
1894. The total capitalization of these
roads is $5,OO5, SOL Jos or $780, 400 a mile
while the common share capital is
S1,S20 1877, O25. The roads give employ
ment to 465, 112 men. The total earn
ings of the year amounted to $429,-
6l3,510 and 45 per cent, of this was from
passenger traffic. The net earnings
We're $3.50, ,230,325, a gain of two and
one-half per cent. over 1894. The per-
centage of net earnings on the enor-
nous capitalization was $50 per cent
Considering the comparatively small
length of railways lines as compared
with the United Staes, the train mile
age is very large, being 33S, 900, 900
miles. Expenses per train mile We're
GA cents, and the receipts We're Sill
leaving proht Of 5l cents per train
mile. Thirteen per cent of the ordin-
ary stock paid no dividends at ALL
and the balance paid dividends rang
ing from 3 to per cent. According
to the list of casualties, 1,O24 persons
We're killed and 4,O21 were injured dur
ing the year. but over half of these
were employees of the roads. Only SO
passengers or one in nearly 5000, 900
were killed. Train accidents were SO
in number and only four of these
were attended with fatal results. The
low casualty list is due to the extra
ordinary precautions which are taken
in every way to protect human lives.
