WILL TAKE OVER
MAPLE LEAF ROAD
Canadian Pacific Said to Have
Secured Option on the Great
Western.
TRANSFER MAY Be DELAYED

st. Paul, Sept. 22.-That the Chica-
60 Great Western Railroad company,
together with all it's terminal facili-
Ties, rolling stock and motive power
equipment, will soon become the sole
property of and a subsidiary line TO
the vast system Of the Canadian Pa
cific Railroad company was the report
circulating in local railroad h~eadquar-
ters Saturday.
The fact that gives this report more
weight than an ordinary rumor Is the
statement made by one of the officials
To the effect that during the visit OF
President T. G. Shaughnessy of the
Canadian Pacific in st. Paul on
Thursday of last week an unlimit id
option on the Chicago Great Western
was obtained by President Shaugh-
messy and Horace G. Burt from the
receivers of the Chicago Great West
ern road. Further, it is stated that
owing to the labor troubles which the
Canadian system is having it was i'm
pSSbiDlC " Nudl ogolSlu W JdhC ONSl
the Chicago Great Western at the
present time, and for that reason the
option was obtained from the receiy-
ers.
A Strategic Move.
Such a step by the Canadian Dad
will mea n of the greatest merger
moves of modern ~railroading. It will
be the means Of giving the great
wheat fields which are being develop
ed in the Canadian Northwest an out
let in the states which will be second
to none. 1t will place the Canadian
Pacific entirely in a class by itself. it
will be fully equipped with terminal
facilities In three Of the largest cities
In the Middle West and place It in a
position so that the entire contem-
plated system may be operated with
out regard to the parallel compel
tive line" objection, which caused the
dissolution of the Northern Securities
company.
All viii Be Changed.
The Canadian Pacific for several
years has had traffic relations with
roads running out Of Canada. In fact
the 500 line, which has always been
known as an offshoot of the Canadi-
an Pacific, has been able to give that
transcontinental line an outlet into
the states as far as st. Paul and
thence east across the State Of Wis
consin to Sault Ste. Marie.
But now all will be changed. For
once in the history Of the English
line American competition will be met
and the laws and interstate commerce
rules and regulations of the United
States will have to be obeyed.

Last year the Pensacola School I'M

ed and in the one school year this as
sociation has been instrumental in
greatly improving school conditions
in Pensacola.
Many of the improvements have
come about through the school board

Home Garden Feature.
Perhaps the most valuable as well
as the most interesting development
was the home garden feature. Last
spring seeds were secured, prizes Of
feFed and the children encouraged TO
plant vegetable and flower gardens.
There were six hundred such gardens.
The exhibit of products grown en-
tireiy by the children and the enthus-
iasm of the little gardeners forced
upon the association the conviction
that this idea properly worked out
throughout the county, would solve
some of our hardest problems by
training the children toward the soil
rather than away from it and thus
furnishing the county what it most
needs-farmers, by giving the pupils
this training which will really fit
them for self-supperting. valuable cit

longer school attendance than under
the present system where the pupils
often leave school because they see

study.
The effect of such a movement
upon the teachers would be, that in
CONSEQUENCE of a popular recognition
of the practical value O ft1eir work
they would more rapidly secure the
financial and social recognition which
is their due.

sent with this letter. This can be
done at any school. The success OF
the organization will depend upon the
interest of the teachers. but much
assistance can be secured from pa

enthusiasm which will repay the
teachers for the extra work involved
