1t was 21 years ago about this
that the first transcontinenta train
was run over the Canadian Pacific
railway, and by way possibly of cele-
brating the anniversary the company
last week put on a new ocean-to-ocea
train, known as the Trans-Canada
limited, which a Montreal dispatch to
the New York Evening Post says will
be the fastest long distance train in
the world. This train will make the
journey between Montreal and the
Pacific coast in two days less t.tle
trains over that line 21 years ago.

once last year the daily receipts OF
wheat at Winnipeg exceeded the COM
bined daily receipts at Duluth, Min
neapolis and Chicago. Next year
the acreage under crop will be great
ly increased, and so the total yield.
Each year the golden stream of wheat
flows wider and swifter and deeper
down to the lakes, and, by the time the
railways now under construction are
completed, there will be need of more;
for, with all of this wonderful pro-
gress, the development of the Cana
dian West has just begun.
Is it any wonder, then, that thous-
ands of men are being employed and
millions of money being expended
in the construction of new lines which
will be needed to assist in the move
ment of the crop of 1908?
Previous to 1881, Manitoba and the
Canadian West had never heard the
whistle of locomotive.
Now, there are over five thousand
miles of track in operation through
a region which in 1906, produced near
ly one hundred million bushels OF
wheat, and which shipped-for ex-
port alone-some eighty thousand
head of cattle.
The Canadian Pacific Railway was,
of course, the real pioneer, throwing
open to the world its last Great West,
carrying on its work of construction
and development in the face of obstic-
les which, in any other country, would
have spelled failure for any enter
prise but this railway has won an
empire from wilderness and has
turned defeat into tremendous sue
cess. Today, in desperate effort to
meet the requirements of the region
through which it runs, this railway is
building eight new branches 1t has
an order today, for delivery this sea-
son, rolling stock equipment to the
value of Sill ,SoS,75I, and hopes to have
it all in service before this years
crop begins to move. This year it
will spend, in the West alone, in the
neigl borhood of twenty millions of
dollars in improvements and new
works. The railway is indeed moving
fast but the incoming settlers are
moving faster.
1t is self-evident truth that the de-
velopment and prosperity of any new
country depends upon its transport
taton facilities. One would natural
ly suppose, therefore that the Canad-
ian Government, fearful of dscourg-
ing railroad construction at a time
when it was sorely needed, would
have moved slowly in the matter of
enacting a railway-regulation meas
ure which, in the United States, at
least, would have been considered
drastic. But the Government saw
clearly that while additional trans
portation facilities were of vital i'm
portance, yet, at the same time, eff
cient railway regulation was an abb
solute necessity to the development
of the West and instead of resOrtinp

In Absolute Control
In short, it may be said that. the
Board of Railway Commissioners has
absolute control over all matters per-
tanning to the construction, operation
and maintenance of railways, and, in
comparison, the powers of the Inter
state Commerce Commission seem
dwarfed almost to insignfcance. It
may be said, also, that not only does
the Dominion Railway Act, which
gave to the Board of Railway Com
missioners its life, protect the public,
but it also protects railway compan-
les.
For instance, town where one
railway is already located may desire
the entrance into the town of another
railway and may wish to grant a To-
cation to the entering road which
might prove injurious to the first
road. In such case, the first road
may appeal to the Commission against
this injustice, and the Board has the
power to compel the second road to
enter the town by another route.
With the tremendous undeveloped
natu al resources of Canada and the
blessings incident to railway regula-
tons such as these, there can be
found no better field for capital seek
ing investment. Perhaps, the fairest
indication of hearty cooperation with
the Government by the railways, and
likewise of firm belief in Canada's
PRESENT and future prosperity, is the
tremendous amount of railway con-
struction going on today. The Cana
dian Pacific Railway-perhaps the
most remarkable railway system in
the world, not only because of its
length, but because of its diversified
interests and business enterprises
is building many miles of new rail-
way in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, opening
up millions of acres of land for set

esting, indeed.
Canadian railroads are regulated by
board of three commissioners, who
are appointed for life The chairman
of the board receives an annual salary
of ten thousand dollars, and associate
members eight thousand dollars. This
board is authorized to employ the ser
vices Of experienced railroad men as
experts in the different branches of
railroad work. The commission Is
endowed with powers that would
make citizen of the United States,
accumtomed to the weak and ineffect-
ual efforts of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, gasp with aston
ishment.
Whenever railway regulations, con-
sidered necessary for the public good
in Canada, is adopted, there is no cry
of "confiscation" on the part of the
railway companies; no much-mooted
abstract questions as to the constitu-
tionality of the act are raised, and
no rrotracted and expensive legisla-
ton ensues. The authority of the
boards members is plenary within its
jurisdiction, and its decisions and or
ders may be made rules of any Sup
erior Court There is no appeal from
their decision, unless the board itself
grants an appeal, except on questions
of jurisdiction, or to the Governor

With the Railroads Approval.
1t is to be noted in this connection
that when the statute authorizing
this board of commissioners and de-
fining their immense powers in rail-
road regulation was enacted it was
with the approval and cooperation
of most of the Canadian roads. This
statement will be pregnant with inter
est to citizen of the States who is
familiar with the railroad situation
in his own country. 1t is nevertheless
TRUE in every particular. The Can
adiar's characteristic respect for the
law is primarily responsible for this
most satisfactory result. All classes
seem to agree in the sentiment: "It
is the law; it must be obeyed."
The railroads realize at once that
such action on the part of the Domin-
ion Government could not fail to op-
crate to the mutual benefit of the
Canadian people and in the end, to
their own benefit
In one step Canada has accomp-
lished what the United States has
not been able to do in years of effort.
The powers of the Railway Commits
