He figures out that "Canada has in operation 21,- 500 miles of railway and. but 88,000 2ars are available for haindling traf- fic, or only four cars a mile. It is estimated that double the number is needed to handle all the freight. That means that Canada will be in the market for 80,000 additional freight cars. If the new roads un- der construction are figured in, 100,- 900 new cars will be needed. At the sost of $850 each the business will be worth $85,000,000 for new equip- ment, besides the replacing of old cars. That is a great many more cars than all the car shops of Can- ada can supply in time for use. The need ought to mean large Canadian orders for the American car factor- ies."* "No discrimination against Catho- lics is the line of policy laid down by Dr. |'T. S.

Every elector, says Dr. Sproule should vote of his own free will for the man he thinks best If such a rule as proposed was car- ried out it would be a boycott such as was established by Roman Catho- lics in Ireland, and Orangemen should not pass resolutions puch as they would resent if they were passed by Roman CORRE ome Reet News. \ Dieetlor Sproule, MyP., story of one of his constituents who was on the wharf at Montreal when a consignment of Galicians disembark- ed.
