that II Of the jurors had agreed that
the defendant was not guilty. but the

1000 miles of railway,
In addition. there have come &c

American projects that will probably
bring the total to well over 10000
miles OF standard gauge railway.
Inevitably n considerable proportion
OF this mileage will never be con.

fail through various causes to com

Yet. even with thls deduction, It would

OF well over $4,000 miles OF track. In

under grant from the Canadian government is
considered py good authority here to be not well
founded At the same time conditions have
arisen which. according to the general opinion,
require some action to be taken regarding the
land holdings and various plans are under dis
cussion by the directors of the railway
Unsold agricultural lands of the Canadian
Pacinc amount in value to some $1S),O00,O00,
according to an estimate made yesterday. The
company holds besides much valuable mineral
and timber land. All the company's land grant
bonds were cancelled recently, and it holds in its
treasury S1SO00O00 deferred payment contracts,
which bear per cent interest.
One plan which the directors are understood
10 have considered for distributing the profits
from land sales was the issuing of land scrip in
the same aggregate amount as the capital of the
company. Another suggestion heard yesterday
was that extra dividends would be allowed TO
stockholders, taking the form of subscription
rights to additional stock to he issued for exten-
sion work. This would result in distribution
OF some of the profits from land sales. since they
go directly into the general treasury of the COM
pany

earnings of the company amount to 10 per cent
