N. P. AND G. N. TO WINNIPEG

Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 11.-Frank w.
Morse, vice president and general man
ager OF the Grand Trunk Pacific, arrived
from Chicago yesterday morning. When
asked regarding the negotiations for
joint terminals and union depot, he
said the matter was under consideration
with the Can dian Northern.
"Will this include the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern" asked the re-
porter. "rhe Northern Pacific and
Great Northern railways intend coming
into Winnipeg. and, like ourselves, are
desirous OF being IN a union station, !"
answered Mr.. Morse. "If the Grand
Trunk Pacific and the Canadian North
e.n establish such union station the
other two roads mentioned above will
Join.
''Should the G. T. P. not see its way
clear, on account OF the valuation Faced
on the property of the Canadian North
ern to join them, then likely the e:her
two lines would go IN withthe Ils-ar'd
Trunk Pacific and erect union depot"
Special dispatch.
There is much significance in the
above to this locality. At present
neither the Northern Pacific or the Great
Northern have roads to Winnipeg. The
iormer terminates at Pembint and the
latter at St. Vincent. Another dispatch
to the Journ Al this week, states that the
Northern Pacific have a party Of sur
veyors at work between the boundary
line and Winnipeg, and intend to build
under the charter given by the provincial
legislature two years ago.

members increases and death comes
oftener, and the membership gets less.
In the ''old-line" companies, the ex-
pense account is necessarily heavy. So
licitors for business get large commits
sons, officers who are capable of taking
care of the millions of surplus get large
salaries. and in some cases, the stock
holders of the company gather in large
profits, which iii mutual company go to
the policyholders.
The evils OF the latter are now being
shown up. The result will be that the
assessment" companies will get the
benefit. But as we have said, the "as-
sessment" companies are nearly all no~
gathering surplus. In short time, in
this regard, they will be like the "old-
line" companies. The surplus will. of
course, bear interest, but it will require
larger salaries for competent officers to
handle such surplus, and the chances of
extravaganza and loss wi be the same
as in the "old-line" companies.
We do not intend to try to suggest
remedies. Such thinos work out their

the government could take up with more
