WHO IS TO BLAME?

The government has granted an
increase of one billion, six hundred
million dollars in passenger rates
to the railroad companies. A week
ago they granted the employees Of
the railroads an increase of six hun
dred and eighteen million dollars.
The increase in rates for the rail-
road companies is to enable the rail-
road companies to pay the increased
salaries Of it's employees.
We believe that many branches
Of the employees of the road were
underpaid considering the advances
in everything else. And we believe
that it was impossible for the rail-
road companies to pay these increas-
ed wages without increasing these
transportation rates. But in the
face Of all this there are other peo-
pie who are entitled to increases in
wages for their labors who are not
getting them. You take the; pro-
duces Of what we eat and Mar for
instance. The product Of the farm
has been steady going down the
last year until the condition is b,e-
coming alarming. Wheat takes q
drop every now and then, ten cents
ut the time, and fax Is being sold
.ht less than half what IL brought
six month ago. Cattle and horses
/ ~ down in price to prs war times.

The New Bridge At Morris.

William Fraser of Letellier was in
the city Friday and made us pleas
ant call. Mr.. Fraser reports pro-
gress on the new steel bridge
across the Red river at Morris which
is being constructed jointly by the
municipalities and the provincial
government at a cost of about $685.
600. In constructing this bridge a
big saving in expense was made by
the government permitting them to
make the bridge stationary in place
of the swinging or hosting type.
1T was considered that navigation on
the Red is closed as far as big boats
are concerned, then why should peo-
pie go to the expense of building
structures that are never moved?
If the government on this side
would pass the same ruling a bridge
between here and st. Vincent could
be built for much less money than
our present plans. If the river is
not navigable to the north Of us why
should it be here where the stream
is much smaller? The Morris
bridge has one span Of solid steel
side probably six feet deep.
Mr.. Fraser said the crop along
the river between Letellier and EN-
erson was never better than it is
this year but away from the river
it is not looking as we'll.
