Speaking in advocacy Of govern ment aid In the matter Of railway building to open and develop new countries. Mir. A. T. Budd, the min ing man, whose home is iu Toronto, told the Seward Gateway how the Canadian government, as we'll as certain provinces in that big north ern country, were achieving splen- did results in this direction,
 Canada. said Mir. Budd, is the pioneer in the way Of aiding and building railway systems to develop new regions, and 1t has found the policy highly profitable, from fi- naucial standpoint, as we'll as ad- ding new wealth in the way of re sources-such as agricultural, tim Der and mineral-to the country as a whole.
 NIT. Budd cites the direct benefits received by Ontario province in the building of what Is known as the Temiskiming & Northern Ontario railway system This road was built and is operated by a govern ment commission consisting of three members. It starts at Toronto and extends northward two hundred miles to Cochrane, ontario, a di- visionaI point on the Grand Trunk system A branch from this road taps the rich Porcupiue gold camp. Another branch enters the Toronto river copper field, The system pays A good interest on the bonds sold to raise money with which to build it: pays operating and maintenance expenses. and every six months passes over to the province the sum Of SlOO,OOO, representing the profits.
 It should be understood that when this system was projected by the province of Ontario the country it proposed to penetrate was nothing but bleak, barren wilderness, al- most wholly uuiuhabited, Now there are prosperous settlements, support ed by rich agricultural regions; mining camps Of great wealth, and the lumber industry Is a big one. A blacksmith employed by a con tractor on the line, when it was building. found a mineral discovery which was the necleus of the great Cobalt mining camp. Other employ es found the Toronto river and South Lorraine copper fields.
 The Ontario road taps a country almost similar, so far as climatic conditions are concerned, as the Matanuska and Susitna valleys. The first hundred miles is through a region about as mountainous as the Kensi peninsula.
 The Dominion Of Canada has built a road from Montreal to Hali- fax. a distance of one thousand miles. It Is known as the Inter Colonial system. The dominion Is also now engaged in constructing a system from Superior Junction to Meucton, N. B.. a distance of two thousand miles. It win cost, when completed, S20S,OO0,O0O. The sys- tenn win be leased to the people who are building the Grand Trunk rail- way from Superior Junction to Prince Rupert, B. C.. thus making a complete transcontinental system.

 On Sept 2S last, Emery valen- tine og Juneau received letter from Iugersou In which he said:
