1895
Upon hearing Of the questions involv-
ed before one of the justices of the Sd
preme Court of the District it was held
that the act of Congress fixing the rate
for telephone service in the District was
unconstitutional From this decision the
subscribers took an appeal and the Court
of Appeals about two weeks ago announc-
ed its decision declaring constitutional
the act Of Congress of June 30, 1885. regu-
lating the cost of telephone service in the
District.
II is from this judgment Of the Court of
Appeals for the District that the tele
phohe company now takes an appeal.

Railroad Line from sauls Ste. Marie
Through the Wilderness. "

Railroad Line from sault Ste. Marie
Through b wilderness. "
For years there has been much talk
of building a railroad between Mani
toba and Hudson Bay as a new outlet
for the wheat Of the Canadian North
west. It seems likely that this project
will never be carried out, but the new
scheme, announced only a few months
ago, of connecting the foot of Lake SUI
perior at Sault Ste. Marie with the
southwestern shores Of Hudson Bay
is now advancing at the rate Of half
a mile a day. This is the Algoma Cen
trail railroad, building mostly with
United States capital, but assisted by
the Canadian government, which has
mad invaluable concessions to the
company About seventy miles of the
road are now completed. Some years
ago Mr.. r. Bell and other Canadian
explorers first revealed the region to
the southeast of Hudson Bay. They
declared that it contained a great
abundance Of spruce and other valu-
able tlmbers and also much fine, arabic
land. 1t was thought that the cores
ponding region to the southwest OF
the bay must be equally valuable, but
very little was known of it until early
last summer when a number of min
eral and timber experts were sent
out on the proposed route to ascertain
the possibilities Of the country. There
was reason to believe that spruce
abounded and the main purpose OF
building the road was to cur large
supplies Of wood pulp for the paper
mills at Sault Ste. Marie. But it was
thought that investigation would re-
veal other important resources and
this belief is justified by the reports
now coming in. The prospectors say
that vast forests Of spruce, pine, hard
woods and other cedar lie all along the
route. There are also great beds Of
pottery clay, iron ore, copper, gypsum
and other minerals besides millions OF
acres timbered with maple, beach and
oak that will make fine, farming lands
when once cleared. The Ontario gov
eminent has made a contract with the
company to locate on these lands sew
eral hundred families a year for the
next ten years. An emigration Office
has been established in England and it
Is expected to send out the first party
in the coming spring. It is said there
is spruce enough along the line of the
road to supply pulp for large paper
interests for many years. Consul Har-
Ian w. Brush has reported from Nj
agara Falls, Ontario, that it is the in
tention to establish a seaside hotel''
at the terminus of the railroad on Hud-
son bay. Game is plentiful there.
scores of lakes and rivers teeming with
fish may be easily reached, and the
scenery, the bracing climate and the
hunting and fishing are expected to at
tract thousands of tourists.-New York
