condition is that they do not misrep-
resent it, or make it below the GOV.
ernments standard.
Every man working in the scientific
bureaus of the government signs an
agreement in writing that he will not
attempt to make use of the discoveries
made in the course OF HE regular la
bors. for his personal gain. Only
once has this agreement been violated,
even in spirit. That was about fifteen
years ago when one of the employees
worked out what was known as the

was known as the Nermorell nozzle,
from the name Of a man in France
who did the manufacturing The man
who worked it out resigned Just after
the contrivance was perfected but
before there had been time to patent
it. Then he secured a patent on his
own behalf. The government fought
the case in the courts for ten years
but the only verdict they could get was
that they had a moral case. but not a
legal one. The sad truth must be
told that the man and his heirs came
into large wealth as a result of his
swift and unexpected resignation.

Montreal Aug. civilian Whyte.
leading confidential man OF the presi-
dent Of the Canadian Pacific railway
and manager of the railway from Win
nipeg to the coast, makes the following
announcement regarding the policy of
the road.
What we are aiming at most of all
is to make the line an all-Canadian
one. We are not looking to estab.
lishment of any American branches.
While we have a controlling interest
in the Minneapolis, ST. Paul & sault
Ste. Marie line, connecting with the
Canadian Pacific at either Grctna or
Emerson and are in hopes of doing
a big business between the twin cities
and Winnipeg. any lines that we want
we are anxious to build in Canada and
to spend any money that is to go for
improvements on Canadian labor.
Besides business there is a good
deal of sentiment in the policy of the
Canadian Pacific. We now look to
the western states as the district from
which we will in future receive by far
the greater number of new settlers. In
the past year we have sold a million
acres of land in Eastern Assiniboia
to American capitalists and almost
all the land has been disposed of to
American settlers. To provide for
settlers in this new country we are
building a new branch line from Rialto
to Regina, which will be entirely com.
pleted before the end of the present
season. Each year will now see a
larger number OF Americans finding
their way into the Canadian north
west.
I'm all our transactions with cap
| italists we enforce conditions that will
make it far more advantageous for
them to dispose of their land to set
tiers as rapidly as possible.
The great difference between wheat
raised in the Canadian northwest and
that produced in the western states is
that in Canada nearly so per cent, OF
the crop is hard wheat, while in the
western states hard wheat does not
average more than 10 per cent. On
this account big American -four com,
panies in Minneapolis find it absolute
ly necessary to come and get Can.
adian wheat What the Canadian
Pacific is trying to get them to do is
to come into the Canadian northwest
and establish mills there, showing
them if they do so that they will be
about as near the European markets
as if they remain where they are
One thing the Canadian Pacific and
Canadian Northern railways will be
able to do this year that they have
never done before is to bring the en-
tire crop to the elevators before win
ter sets in, At the present time we
have sufficient cars and engines to dc
this"
