YEAR 79-NO, 178 KINGSTON, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1 BORDEN GOVERNMENT HAS SERIOUS DISPUTE With Giand Truk Pacific Railway Company. CONPANY. CONTENDS "PHAT IT IS NOT TO PAY ANY REXTAL ---- dl Until. Seven Years After the Entire Line is Complefed--The Govern. ment Takes a Different View of the Matter, Ottawa, Aug. 1.--It is understood that an igsue has arisen between the government and the Grand Trunk Patific which may possibly result in sensational developments, It is as to the time at whieh the Grand Trunk "Pacific should begin to pay interest or rental on the cost of con- struction of the eastern division of | ~the line from Winnipeg to Moncton Under the Grand Trunk Pacific's contract with the dominion govern: ment, the time pamed when the com) pany should in to pay Intérest is seven years after the time when it is taken over and .operated "by 1t tirand Trupk Pacific. The govern- mont has Made a demand that to carry out the intention of this agree- ment, the company's interest-bearing period will begin seven years from the date of completion, ot of the entire section fron Winnipeg to Moncton, but seven years from the completion of individual sections, It will be immediately seen that this raises a big issue, because while the section of the road from Winnipeg to Superior Junction has already been completed, the entire Toad will not be completed for a long time. The Quebec bridge alone will pro- bably cause a delay of several years on the eastern end. The govern- ment claims that seven years from now, the company shall begin to pay interest on the cost of construction of the section from Winnipeg to Superior Junction, and as it is ex- - pected that the 'road will be com- pleted as far east as Cochrane dur- ing the present year, this further large to the pertion in op- eration, i thé govern- ment's Slatin, A nd. interest payments touch sooner than it would if the company's contention prevail- ed. ' - It is declared that the govern- 'ment is firm in ita demand and that the company is protesting vigorous: ly. It is even reported that in case the company's claims should be es- tabifshed on a legal/basis, and the company shows no disposition to compromise, the government is pre- pared to go so far as to amend the original cogtraet with the Grand Trank Pacific and if necessary under" take to take over the operation of the entire line from Winnipeg east. Altogether 1t looks as though the new transcontinental railway will yet furnish some interesting inci- dents in political affairs. : AWAIT THE ASTOR HEIR.

Monk "ill Announce Broa Policy of Government-Owned Harbors. Ottawa, Aug. il.--That the gdvern- ment; acting upon the advice of Hon F. D. Monk, will at the next session of parliament, announce a bold, broad policy of hationalization of ports, is the belief here in political circles. Mr. Monk has, since assuming office, given considerable study to this ques tion, and has on several occasions ex- pressed regret that the recommenda- tion of the commission in 1905, which investigated and reperted on this ques- tion, were not adopted. T COINMis- sion, among other things, r commend- ed the nationalization 'of 1he~arger ports which, of course, w yuld embrace their improvement and upkeep 10 meet natufhl wants by the government. It is understood that the minister is now formulating "a. scheme which he will recommend in cabinet council, and which will be largely along the lines suggested by the 1905 gommission.
