In the fall of the first year 13,610 locust trees were set. out on a com- pany farm near `Vineyard, Pa. An- nual planting of these trees has been `since continued, until at the present time there are forty plantations be- itween Coatesville and Altoona, re-U presenting in the aggregate about 1,855,000 trees. The planting hasi been done on farms ranging from 20 -to 200 acres in extent, which were obtained in connection with the widening and extension of the main line and the building of new freight lines.

The rates show quite an ad-I vance for Toronto from outside! points, and an even greater advance for Hamilton. The advances arel found to apply almost entirely to the large centres where the bulk of ` lumber is shipped -to, and what re-u ductions are to be made relate to places where comparatively little ilumber goes. The Canadian Manu- facturers? Association have taken the matter up. Mr. Walsh, manager of` the transportation department of the association, went to Ottawa -last week, to place the matter before the Board of Railway Commissioners, and to ask them to prevent the tar: iff from being brought. into effect until the manufacturers have had ani opportunity of protesting against it.l fl`- -1--- ;I,-L .1, I . 1- .

Manufacturers. have complained from time to- time about the poor service they receive in the matter. of cars, and have been met generally with the excuse that the congestion of trafc prevented the railways from doing any better. But at times when the congestion is relieved, they do not fare much bet- ter, and as a rule can depend upon having to await the pleasure of the railways before obtaining cars. Fre- quent delays in business are caused, and even loss of business results from inability to deliver. itf d(`)1cs atlsuch juncture, the decision 0 t e rai way companies to increase their rates cannot fail to have a d pressing effect upon the trade. It_xs probable that by discouraging ship-` rr;ents bit will even `becorilie something 0 a oomerang to t e mi ways. Nor will the effect be felt solely by t-he bmanugacturers aand deallers i lum er. :1 imme iate resut W1 be an increase in the price of lumber.` Building operations will be corres- pondingly reduced, and the effect will lter away through a number `of trades, inducing those in each of them to curtail their operations, to `the extent that they are eected. iRa'ilway companies have the reputa- tion of being in the habit of charg- ing all that the traic will bear. In this instance it looks as though ithey were doing their best to deserve the reputation. The lumber indust- ry will have no recourse in the end, ` UIADIIIUDD ILGD UDCII LIUIID.

They have only one hope `to fall back upon, namely, the inter- ference of the Dominion Railway Commission, whose duty it is to see that the'public are not `unjustly mul- cted for the sake of making up to the railways the decrease in. returns which they have recently suffered, and which they should be willing to share in common with every other class. of business`. whenever depres- sion. prevails, as it has of late. The best way .to relieve depression is- to talk prosperity.` The course now taken by the railway companies is a I strong argument in favor, of their" belief in "the continuance of hard but to pay whatever charges are dei lptimes.--Canada Lumberman.` i The lumber market to-day is in a great state of uncertainty. Matters may improve shortly, but in the meantime the trade is looking ahead pretty anxiously andrwondering what the future has in store.
