RESERVE HORSES FOR WAR.
Switzerland's Method Of Preparing For
Rapid Mobilization.

switzerland's Method Of Preparing For
Rapid Mobilization.
Iii Switzerland the state is part OWL
er Of horses used by reserves. 1t pur-
chaseS Il rellolnt ut three and half
years old. and the soldier pays halt
the cost Of the horse to the govern
ment. together with the difference be-
tween its cost and the price that the
horse fetches at auction. for all horses
are sold by auction to the men.
After every year Of training the gov
eminent refunds one-tenth Of the orig
inal half cost to the man. and at the
end of ten years the horse becomes
the absolute property of the soldier.
In this manner the soldier is not only
always we'll mounted. but as he keeps
his horse with him at his home his
mobilization problem is Of the simplest
nature.
The average price Of these Swiss
troop horses is about f45, says Baily's
Magazine. and as most Of these horses
are imported from ireland and north
Germany their price is considerably
higher than it would be in Great Brit
ain. Thus the state secures the serv-
Ices Of horse for an annual outlay
of about "a los. But there are certain
other expenses which must be includ-
ed in this estimate. such as the cost OF
the establishment for remount depots
etc.. which raises the total cost OF
horses for the Swiss government to
about f8 12s. a year.

And already Bismarck folks are talk

OVERTIME HUNDRED YEARS
OLD--STILL PAYING DIVIDENDS
Remarkable Record Of The Hudson Bay Com.
pany, Which Once Included Honolulu in
Its Sphere Of Activity.

only 81 800, 900, or 100000 more than
the company has distributed in one an
nual dividend. The sum paid and the
potentialItles, as well as the real mag
nitude of the subject surrendered. make
a suggestive contrast.
But even the twentieth part of its
original possessions represents to the
company a sufficiently handsome reve-
nue. in the present and the prospect of
enhanced values in the future. L hap
pens In this case, perhaps, as il has
happened in others, that the part is
greater THAI the whole. Without the
surrender to which we have alluded the
progress of Canada would have been in
definitely delayed, and without that
progress all the enormous inheritance
of he successors Of 1870 would have
been valueless.
Owns Millions of Acres
The several millions of acres with
which the companv is still endowed are
scattered over the whole of the pro :,
inces where it once held its sovereignty,
and as population flows in the biggest
landowners in the world--as we may
fairly call the fortunate shareholders -
enjoy the pleasure of receiving an in
crement far beyond the visions Of
Prince Rupert and his contemporary
adventurers. In 19045 they sold land
at an average price of six dollars per
acre. Last year the average was double
that price. At the present time their
ascertained possessions amount to 4,052,-
Cos acres. But they have also lands
| accruing to them in the unsurveyed por-
tian of he fert lie belt annrOy i'm at inr
! to 100000 acres, so that the total
quantity they own may be set down
at 100000 acres What the value of
| this asset may be--and it must be re-
| membered that the furtrading priv
| leges of the company were equal last
year to a profit of f166, 156-it is impos-
| sible TO surmise.
Who can guess what the population
| of Canada and the extent of its land
hunger may be when the last of the
J Hudson 5 Bay acres come to be disposed
| off Long before that still distant date,
no doubt, the company viii have come
| into tire market as a competitor for
! land, buying III order that it may sell
| again In the meantime the sharehold-
ers have the satisfaction of KNOWN :
! that there are several million pounds
sterling between them and such a re-
| vision of their charter as would bring
| them and their dividends within the
grasp of the British taxing authorities.
. We do not wonder that Lord Strathcona
, has never felt inclined to sell a single
share of the company in which. as he
states, he is perhaps the largest share
! holder.
