COM M UNITY OF lNTER EST"
Some of the Effects OF the Great Rail-
road Changes Which Are Occurring.
Community of Interest" seems to be
the watchword among the great rail-
road corporations, nowadays, and GER
tain persons who are apt to decide
upon topics of general interest, especi-
ally new ones, without thinking upon
the facts, have supposed that this
meant an arrangement of interest only
to the railway companies participating
in the deals, traffic arrangements,
leases, etc, which show in the stock
transactions and engage the thought
and ability of traffic and passenger
agents. 1t is undoubtedly the financial
interest Of the corporations which
moves their officers to enter into con-
tracts, but the consideration of this
topic necessarily includes that of the
convenience. comfort and attractions
which they can offer to their patrons.
If competition be less intense. and rate
wars be relegated to the dead past.
1t means that more attention will be
paid to those inducements which will
bring business to up-to-date lines of
transportation.
An instance of the early profit of the
public is most worthy of mention. I'm
der the plan of arrangements known
as Community of Interest" very close
relations have been established by the
Missouri Pacific System with the Dem
yer and Rio Grande railway, the Rio
Grande Western Railway and the
Southern Pacific Railway and other
lines diverging from junction points
So that now, for the first time in the
railway history of the country, a pas
senger may take train at st. Louis and
remain therein until he has reached
San Francisco. The route Is one of the
most popular because of its great
scenic beauty, and because it gives the
traveller the benefit of variety of al
titude and climate, taking him across
the smiling plains of Kansas into the
wonderful canyons of Colorado. and
through her most noted mining locali-
ties, and by the great inland salt sea,
where a great religious organization
has builded a city of magnificence in
an oasis of the desert. and whose po-
litical power has been maintained in
spite of the objections of the concen-
trated power of the United States and
in the face of all the obstacles which
have ever, from the dawn of Christi
anity, contended against its establish
ment by any sect or creed.
These places are of great interest to
the traveller of today, and since they
may be visited with such ease in the
magnificent trains of this monster sys-
tenn of railway, the tide of tourist traf-
fic is being turned to them by natural
selection. The Missouri Pacific and
the Rio Grande reach all points In
Colorado. Utah and the West. and thus
Community of Interest" among the
railroads already benefits the public in
such an everyday way as to convince
the thoughtless person that he must
revise his hasty judgment.

SPORT IN WESTERN CANADA:
While the Farmers Grain Is RipenIng
and His Stock Growing Fat He May
Haya DI.ntv

While the Farmers Grain Is RipenIng
and His Stock Growing Fat He May
Have Plenty OF Shooting.
There is probably no country on the
American Continent where the life of
the farmer carries with it that assur-
ance of comfort and success as does
Western Canada. Nor is there to be
found anywhere else such a pleasant
combination. Game abounds every
where and nowhere does it afford such
perfect amusement. A noted sports
man writing of the favorite pastime
says: There is one particular spot
where | saw a man drop seventy NAL
lards one morning and bring them all
to bag, too, for they dropped in open
water or on fiat prairie. At the right
season of the year you can see black
lines and triangles cut sharply out
against the sky all round you, moving
very swiftly. and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
hold out You can hear the prairie
chicken Growing like barn-door fowls,
and a little to the northeast is bit
of marshy ground, cattle-poached and
dappled with cleaning pools, where
the snipe are nearly rs thick as mos
Quitoes. A thin column of blue smoke
curling up in the distance shows you
where a few wandering Indians nave
pitched their camp. but there is no
other indication of civilization in
sight Still. the neighborhood is we'll
settled. and a short drive will bring
you to farmhouse, where you can
buy the finest butter and the freshest
eggs for uncivilized prices.
A very short railway journey will
bring you to country full of deer and
the lordly wapiti, the king of the deer
tribe the world over. and down on the
fat. boggy land by the lake shores the
moose will stand knee deep in water
on the summer evenings ready to lie
down when the flies get bothering.
All day you breathe the wild free air
of the prairie. and at night you are
lulled to sleep by the surge aud ripple
and splash of the waves on the beach,
broken now and then by the wierd
banshee-cry of strange waterfowl"
Particulars regarding settlement of the
lands of Western Canada can be had
from any agent of the Canadian gov
eminent. whose advertisement appears
elsewhere in your columns.
