Mann of Toronto are practically the
owners Mr. Mackenzie was originally a
street railway operators, ana still owns the
tralnways of Toronto. Mr.. Mann Is a Wen
known engineer and constructor and, ac-
ccrding to local authorities, has built more
miles of track than any man In Canada-
perhaps more than any other man an Amer
lea. These gentlemen began IN ossn shaIi an, way
fered their entire interests to the Canadian
Pacific and also to the Grand Trunk COM
pany for S250,O00. Now they say they
would not sell out for fifty millions They
have built their line slowly. and it has
paid for itself. 1t crosses country with
an enormous, extraordinary producing ca
pacity, and the government iand grant mas
been sold to actual settlers almost as 1ast
as 1t has been earned. The company IS now
building at the rate of six miles day.
The Main Line.
The main line runs from Port Arthur to
Fdmondton distance of 800 miles. Be-
tween Winnipeg and Edmonton, 800 miles,
1t has exactly 100 stations, every one OF
them except two being wheat-receiving
centers. Another line runs north toward
Hudson bay, and there are numerous spurs
rea aching into the richest wheat fields or
Canada. Mackenzie & Mann have also ac-
quired two lines which give them access
to the st. Lawrence, both at Montreal and
Quebec. They are gradually building and
buying In eastern Canada so as to reach
the Atlantic. They have recently purchased
the Halifax and Southwestern railway in
Nova Scotia and the Inverness railway and
ccal mines on Cape Breton Island
1t Is the ambition of Mackenzie & Mann
to own line of track between the Atlantic
and the Pacific. They endeavored to secure
the franchise which the government has re-
Gently granted to the Grand Trunk Pacific
But they have never been especially fav-
ored by the government, and the Grand
Trunk people got ahead of them. This fail
urc. however, has only stimulated their am
bition, and they are now driving their line
toward the Pacific on their own account,
depending upon their own resources and a
valuable land subsidy. Thus, within few
years, it is almost certain that Canada will
have three transcontinental lines.
The Grand Trunk company is also build
ing across the continent with great energy,
but I will tell you about that In another
letter.
This is an era of railway building in
Canada. Many people think 1t is beng
overdone. and that the present exertion
will be followed by a collapse similar to
that experiences in the United States
some years ago under the same circum-
stances. The plans OF the railroads are all
based upon continuation of Immigration.

The Canadian Pacific.
The people of the United States are fairly
familiar with the Canadian Pacific line and
Its great importance. AS an evidence of the
prosperity of that road, its stock is now
quoted at 10 md better. The Canadian
Pacific is building several hundred miles
OF extensions in Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta and is stretching out like a
gridiron over western Canada.
The Canadian Pacific as you will remem-
Der, was originally started purely as a
government road and Its early history is
worth the careful study of those who be-
lieve in government ownership. 1t was be-
gun in 1881, and when the government had
built 425 miles of track In eastern Canada,
60 miles in Manitoba and 2J0 miles on the
Pacific coast, 1t gave up the job in despair
and turned the property over to a corpora
tion called the Canadian Pacific Company.
That corporation received $25, 100000 cash
subsidy for the main line and 50, GEO GOO for the
branches. together with 25,000.O00 acres of
land for a total of Abs miles; and the gov
ernment gave 1t the roads already con-
structed as a present. Since then 1t has
pushed northward and westward. has been
building feeders" to reach the most fertile
parts OF the dominion, has put up sawmills
and smelters where private capital has been
too tirnid to go. and, as told you the other
day, has established a string of sixteen
hotels along its line to entertain tourists.
landseekers and the public generally. 1t is
a titanic corporation, with a policy more
comprehensive and liberal than that of any
other corporation I know. 1t has steam
ship lines to Europe, Asia and Alaska, and
not only handles the freight that It's terri
tory naturally affords. but creates half
of its own traffic.

Even the most constant readers of
newspapers scarcely realize the revolu-
ton being brought about by the in
creasing employment of women in all
industries. Within q short time, the
Young Women's Christian Association
Of New York City found places for
1000 girls and young women in offices,
about one-third of whom replaced male
clerks.
The New York Life Insurance Com
pany, which a few years ago employed
only men in its New York office, has
replaced one-half of the men with wo-
men.
Managers claim that women are
s1r3stvr and more trustworthy than
men. 1t also appears that women en-
ployed are content with considerable
less wages than men employees.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, of New York, employees LOO
women in it's offices and 800 men. The
same thing is largely true in business
offices all over the United States.
In factories, a similar change has
been brought about. In many indus
tries, men are only employed as fore

men. Women work for lower wages
and they are better adapted for light
industry.
Is this process of substitution a good
or bad thing for the workers them
selves and for the country? If men,
who generally require higher pay, be-
cause, as a rule, they have to bring up
q family, are crowded out Of work by
women, who take lower wages, because
so long as they work they remain I'M
married, and because in many in

good.
