ness. Exceptions specifying favors that
may still be granted by the railroads are
pointed out. Section 20 gives most Of the
exceptions, others are allowed by implica-
ton.
The Elkins law does not prevent the
carriage, storage or handling Of property
free. or at reduced rates for the United
States. state or municipal governments,
or for charitable purposes. or to or from
fairs and expositions for exhibition, or the
free carriage of homeless persons trans
ported by charitable societies, and the
necessary agents employed in such trans
porta ton, or the Issuance of mileage, ex=
scursion or communication passenger tickets.
The act does not prohibit any railroad
or other common carrier from giving re-
duced rates to ministers Of religion or to
municipal governments for the. transport
alton of INDECENT persons or to inmates
of the national homes or state homes for
disabled volunteer soldiers and of sold
iers' and sailors orphan homes; including
thosH about to enter and those returning

changing passes or tickets with other
railroad companies for their officers or
employees. - y: y

THE CANADIAN NORTHERN
The General Manger Announces the
New Traffic Arrangement
The immigration Rush.
snaeial to Tha Journal

Special to The Journal
e Montreal, March 3o.-D. B. Hanna. gen
eral manager Of the Canadian Northern,
has announced a traffic arrangement by,
which they will sbe able to ship freight
right through: from the Canadian: north
west to Quebec and in British steamers
to English ports.
..,rhe principal result of the Canadian
Northern and Great Northern deal,' says
Mr.. Hanna, twill be that the Canadian
Northern will be able to see that the
greater portion of the trade OF the west
moves right along its own or allied INES
to Quebec. BY arrangements that have
been made after the Canadian Northern
has carried the freight to Port Arthur.
1t will be placed on steamers OF the Can
ada Atlantic railway and shipped to Parry
sound The Canada Atlantic railway Will
then take charge and carry 1t as lar as
Hawke sbury, Que, where 1T will be hand-
ed over to the Great Northern and brought
right to the city of Quebec. BY special
arrangement the Leyland Steamship COM
pany will then take charge and carry 1t
to different British ports. 5 .s ~
mi addition to trafflce from the Cana
dian lake ports. a large amount of traffic
will be diverted from Duluth to Parry
Sound. A large amount of business from
western states is now done through
Duluth and some of this will also be
shipped along the Canadian lines. In or
der to keep pace with the rapid develop
ment of the Canadian northwest. the Ca
madam Northern is adding to its rolling
stock as rapidly as possible. Thirty one
locomotives, 1000 box cars and flfty-six
cattle cars will be delivered in the near
future. The land along the main and
branch lines Of the Canadian Northern is
being taken up very rapidly. The rush
into the country is certainly wonderful.
but we will be able to take care Of all
who come along. There will not be much
difficulty in supplying them with ample
fuel and lumber

the merchant handsome commission.
Nothing further was thought of the oc-

merchant received a letter from the dis

joke. : He tore open the letter, and out
dropped a check for $3.50, together with
a letter thanking him for his list of
