than paying it's way and is having a rapid
growth, while the Great Northern of Can

$40,020000 5 per cent bonds, which Should
make them worth par, besides giving them
a substantial profit for their stock
The Great Northern terminals at Cue
bee are the best deep-water% terminals in
the dominion. Three steamship lines will
this year use these terminals. There is

An Effect OF the Controversy Over the
New Schedule.
Flour is being delayed at the seaboard
because OF trouble growing out Of the
recent freight congestion. Before the
nrst OF the year the eastern and western
roaos were In sharp controversy as to
Whether the advance in flour rates took
enect Dec. 8 or Jan. Il. The western
roads had made. contracts at, the old
rates until Jan. l, and held out against the
eastern lines. The western lines stood
Tor the shrinkage, however. This made
necessary the prepayment through of ex-
port shipments of flour. The freight
blockade resulted in the change of routes
east OF Chicago. When the flour arrived
at ttdewater the eastern roads called for
thelr money. The western roads which
had colected the charges were unwilling
to give up the portion demanded until
they found over what route the cars did
go east. Some flour has been delayed
six weeks for this reason. .

Tried With Lamar.

William Delaney, alias Monk Eastman,
and his fellow tough, Joseph Brown, who
are accused of having beaten David La
mars former coachman. James Mcmahon,
"at the request Of Lamar, gave up yester-
day their fight against extradition. They
were then taken to the Monmouth county
Jail at Freehold, N, j., where, unless they
get bail they will be kept until the Jersey
court gets ready to try them and Lamar.
They we're brought before Justice Du-
gro in the Supreme Court on writ of habeas
corpus obtained by Lawyers Grady and
Hoyer, on the ground that the prisoners were
not the persons who committed the crime
in New Jersey, but proceedings under the
writ were dropped.
Public Prosecutor John F.. Foster of
Monmouth county, N. j.. was in court
to oppose the discharge Of the pris-
oners. With him was County Detective
Charles f. Strong, one Of the chief wit
nesses TO the assault on Mcmahon. Strong
is big and vigorous. As soon as the pre-
liminarv proceedings on the return Of tn
writ were over Lawyer Hoyer said he had
decided to abandon the writ. Justice
Dugro then signed the order handing East
man and Brown over to the New Jersey
authorities and Strong took the two men
to Freehold.

Wilbur A. Heisley OF the Monmouth County
Circuit Court, before whom Eastman and
Brown will be tried If indicted, said this
evening that the men could waive indict-
ment and ask for speedy trial, but that
this procedure would not hasten matters,
