IOtdl ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. lo,oli
In Canada the total mileage projected
is the heaviest in the history of that
country. Taking the east with the
west. four great companies contemplate
the construction Of over 5000 miles of
railway. In addition, there have come
to light since this compilation was
made American projects that will prob
ably bring the total to we'll over %, 600
miles of standard gauge railway.
Inevitably a considerable proportion
of this mileage will never be construct
ed. A great many companies entirely
disappear, are bought off or fail
through various causes to complete the
tasks they have undertaken. Yet, even
with this deduction. it would appear
that there are live and legitimate rail-
way projects on this continent today
that call for the creation of we'll over
1000 miles of track. In light of this
fact, the years 1906 and 1907 are practi-
cally certain to go down in history as
one of the most striking periods in the
railway history of the western world.

Threshing Left.

The numerous reports that thresh-
ing has been nearly completed is not
borne out by trip into the country,
as large amount OF grain is still
standing in the shock. There are some
localities where the ground has been
pretty we'll cleaned, but there is still
enough left to keep the mcahines that
are now working In operation for
several days yet, and 1t would not be
surprising If some cold fingers were
experienced before every farmer has
his grain safely stored in his granary
Flax threshing has just nicely COM
menced. and in the newer northern
portion OF the county where an un-
usual large amount of fax was seed
ed this spring, it will take several
days of steady threshing yet to clear
the fields. Quite a number of ma
chimes pulled in early this fall on ac-
count of high wages and scarcity OF
help.
