Washington, March 2.-Passen-

be reduced one-third or more by a
rearrangement of schedules to be
announced shortly by Director Cen
eral McAdoo.
Scores OF trains on competing
lines leaving and arriving at termi-

eliminated and the locomotives and
crews used for essential freight

ever, OF making a few western lines

also stated that the reduction in

NEWSBOY TO RAILWAY HEAD

From neWsboy to railway presi
dent. Such is the achievement of Will
liam 2. Kenney, who has just become
president of the Great Northern rail-
way. Louis w. Hill, chairman of the
board Of directors, will continue as
active as heretofore in the management
OF the railway system his father built.
Selling newspapers was the start
ing point of Kenney's career, back in
the eighties. He progressed step by
step, later becoming a Western Union
messenger boy. The clicking of the
telegraph instrument was a lure to
MIN. He mastered the key and became
an operator.
That opened the way for Ken
neys railway career. He turned his
attention to traffic and before he was
forty became a recognized traffic au-
thority. In 1912 Kenney was made
vice president and traffic manager of
the Great Northern. He theh came
into close executive association with
James ]. Hill and L. w. Hill. who h.

new Chief OF STAFF

Maj. Gen. Peyton Conway March,
lately appointed acting chief of stan,
has the unofficial designation OF speed
err up. A man of quick decisions, as
he has proved himself to be both in
military campaigns and in the direc-
ton Of semicivil governments in newly
acquired American possessions, he is
thought to be admirably fitted for the
new role.
Participating in two expeditions
to the Philippines. his name is asso-
ciated not only with many of the de-
cisive battles and campaigns in those
islands, but with the names of some
of the most notable of the Filipino

to surrender.
General March is a son of the late
Francis Andrew March, long a profess

LIND REPRESENTS PUBLIC

In the advisory council formed by
Secretary Wilson to assist in carrying
out the war labor program the public
is represented by John Lind, former
governor of Minnesota, and chairman
of the council.
Like Senator Knute Nelson, whose
political rival Mr.. Lind has been ever
since he went over to the Democratic
party, he is of Scandinavian birth
and parentage. He was born in the.
Parish of Kama, Sweden, in 1854.
When he was thirteen he came with
his father to the United States and
settled at Goodhue, MINI. He attend
ed the public schools, studied law and
was admitted to the bar in 1876. In
1881 Mr.. Lind was appointed by Presi-
dent Garfield receiver of the United
States land office at Tracy, MINI. Five
years later he was elected repre-
sentative to congress and was re-
elected in 1888 and 1900.

1917 was $663. S24 $50, produced on less
than 100000 acres of land.
Further evidence of prosperity and
progress is found in the Government
estimate of the value of farm lands,
and increase in value since 1908:
1908 1916
Ihdnitoua ........ .0O oZ.Uo
Saskatchewan ........2O.4O 23.O7
Alberta ............... 1S.2O 221S
1t will be observed that the average
price of lands has not kept pace with
their producing value. 1t is therefore
pointed out that the opportunities for
the purchase of high-class land is still
within the reach of those with linn
tied means.
A good idea of advancement in q
cOuntry'S progress may be obtained by
knowledge of what has been done in
the production of cattle, and when
these figures are studied in connection
with Western Canada, a country whose
fame having been heralded as grain
growing country, giving the idea that
that was what it was mostly adapted
to, it will be realized that there is
there vast storehouse of wealth
awaiting those who choose to take adj
vantage of it. In the three provinces
in 1912 there Warehouses;, mich COWS,
other cattle, sheep and swine, four mil
lion head, while in 1917 the number
was seven million.
In 1901 the entire population was
40 40. in 1916 fQS 900
One marvels at the rapid progress
of the United States during the nine
teenth century,. But Americas oppor-
tunitieS for growth at the beginning
of that century were nothing compared
to the opportunities which are Can
ada'S at the present time.
The fact that Canada has as its next
door neighbOr nation of over 100 ,OO0,-
OOO-the richest nation in the world
is bound to have a stimulating effect
on its progress. Already one sees
signs of it On every hand.
Canada not only has the largest area
of unoccupied, but fertile, land of any
country, but this land is already made
available by a network of railways.
Cost of production of grain is lower
than elsewhere, while the prices are
on basis of those Of the United
es.-Advertisement.
