That no additional railway is either desirable or necessary in the section mentioned for the accomâ€" That the route, as surveyed beâ€" tween the mountain and H. G. & B. Railway, through the properties of the petitioners would work irreparâ€" able harm without the slightest offâ€" setting benefit. > The line laid our runs through one of the most desirâ€" able residental sections of rural On tario. and in such a manner and at such points as to ~literally ruin almost every property through which it extends. No monetary damage, as ordinarily â€" computed for~ railway rights of way, could adequately compensate the owners of properiy through which the railway would pass. In every instance the properâ€" ties would be most inimically affect ed. Not only would very valuable acreages and orchards be divided and injured, but nearly every home site located on the plots affected would be absolutely destroyed. Aside from affecting the market pricss of orchards, a railway loeated would make almost every résidence uninâ€" habitable. Such a located line of railway would destroy the desirabil ity of practically every home site along the route. Petitioners further represent that not only in the Village of Grimsby but in the said township» as well,. most of the residences affected are located on comparatively small lots. This rural section is the pride of the entire Dominion and is, perhaps unequalled by any section of similar size on the North American Continâ€" ent. Of recent years people from various parts of this continent have settled in said section, drawn hither by its unparalled beauty and attrac tiveness, and many of the orchard sites through which said surveyed route passes are but two hundred feet wide, or less. Under all the circumstances, to permit such a railway location as mentioned would be as gross an outrage as could be perpetrated on the inhabitants of any residential section anywhere. { That a survey for a line of railâ€" way hase been made in and through said village and township. The iden tity of the Company making the surâ€" vey is unknown to your petitioners, but petitioners are informed that it is the Canadian Northern Railway Company. â€" The documents signed were as folâ€" lows. f Petition to Railway Commission To The Railway Commission of the Dominion of Canada: We the undersigned, ratepayers of the Vi‘lage of Grimsby ind of the Township of North Grimsby, County of Lincoln, Province of Ontario petiâ€" tioning your honorable body respectâ€" fully represent: The last of a series of â€" meetings was held in the Village Inn, Monday evening, April 24, when petitions to the Railway Commission, the North Grimsby â€"Council, the Village of Grimsby Council and letters to the railway company were signed. Taking this view of the matter, the j residents of the Township and Vilâ€" lage have held several meetings and decided upon, sending a petition to the Railway | Commission and also laying the matter before the Canadiâ€" an Northeyn Railway Company and Also invited the Village Council and the Township Council to assist them in an endeaver to have the location of the projected line changed. If â€"the projected railway goes through on the present survey, it does not destroy one home, but pro bably fifty, taking a straight line of them for miles. ~Should this railway line go through on this location, the amount of money required to comâ€" pensate the owners would be someâ€" thing enormous and when the ownâ€" ers were compensated, they would be unable to locate homes on any other part of their land as suitable as the present, and in fact, it would be difficult for them to locate and provide as beautiful homes in any other part of the community. ‘ In building a railway line, it is imâ€" possible at certain times to avoid destroying a residence or home, but in striking across an ordinary counâ€" try, this is something that only hapâ€" pens occasionally and the owner of the home, after being compensated for his loss can generally â€" locate some place else to his advantage. Such is not the case in the location of the present line. A new railway line constructed parallel with the Grand Trunk and close to it would not do oneâ€"tenth the damage to private property, and especially to private homes, that a line where the present one has been surveyed would. The view that the land owners took is that on account of there being a narrow neck of land lying between the mountain and the lake in â€" the Grimsby section, that any new railâ€" way, and especially a steam railway, that was being built, should run parâ€" allel and close to the Grank Trunk Railway line. Running a line through the private property in the narrow strip of land lying between <the Queenston & Grimsby stone road and the mountain would simply mean the utter destruction of many homes and the utter demorilization of the fruit section, without serving any useful purpose whatever. It was not definitely known, but :t is generally supposed that this surâ€" vey was made for the purpose of loâ€" cating a route for the Canadian Northern Railway. The location of this line showed such an entire disâ€" regard for private rights through the lands mentioned, that the resiâ€" dents along the line immediately took action to lay the matter before the Railway Commission of the Doâ€" minion of Canada and the Canadian Northern Railway Company, if it was found that the line was being projected by that company. Less than a month ago, a gang of engineers completed a survey through the southern part of the Village of Grimsby and continued easterly through the residental fruit lands lying between the H. G. & B. railway and the mountain. Residents of North Grimsby Opposed to Location of New Railway Line A pathetic ‘case has laite‘y come to light. An_ elderly woman, for years one of the so ciety ladies in a fair Canadian city and thought to be wealthy, has through unfortunate invest ments fallen upon hard lines, and the sadness of her case is increaseq by the terrible fact that she has been stricken down by an incurable disease During her prosperous years she thought but little of the fa ture, and a large portion of her income was spent in "keeping up apparances." Now, penniless ang homeless, she must seek admission to some place of refuge; her friends of yesttrday know her no more. Such cases as these should cause young Petitioners respectfully _ request that your honorable body do and per form every act within your power to assist in prohibiting the adoption and use of said surveyed route or auy other route between the mountain and the H. G. & B. line. L. G. Jarvis Leslie M. Nelles J. A. Book W. B. Calder W. A. Brownlee J. H. Gibson G. A VanDuzer S.. Whittaker P. ‘8. Benn J. W. Eaton Wm. Montgomery _ Geo. Hilderdrand John Hewitt W. B.

In â€" order that â€" your Honorable body may be fully advised in the premises, a copy of said petition to said Railway Commissioners is here to attached. Your petitioners have petitioned the Railway Commission of the Doâ€" minion of Canada to prohibit the use of said located route in the narâ€" row strip of land between the moun tain and the H. G. & B. Railway Company‘s line. Preferring â€"to work in harmony with your company, we shall be pleased to meet any reasgonable reâ€" quirement of your Board in the way of furnishing further information beâ€" fore you make a final decision; but we respectfully submit that we shall oppose by every legal and proper means, the adoption of any route substantially located as that reâ€" cently surveyed, namely in the narâ€" row strip of land between the moun ‘tain and the H. G. & B. Railway. Respectfully yours, L. G. Jarvig, © Chairman of Committee. Petition to North Grimsby To Reeve and Councillors of the Township of North Grimsby: We, the undersigned ratepayers of the Township of North Grimsby, reâ€" spectfully represent: | That a railway route has been su~â€" veyed through said Township | which, if adopted, will prejudicially affect the properties of your petiâ€" tioners to such an extent as to deâ€" stroy the market value of the lots, farms and orchards through which it extends and also destroy the useâ€" fulness and desirability of the home sgites through or near which it passes. It is believed when ‘your Board of Directors is in possession of full inâ€" formation, that it will not entertain any idea of adopting this route,. There would seem to be no more justice or reagon in it than there would be in locating a line of railâ€" way right through the choicest reâ€" sidental districts of Montreal, Ottaâ€" wa, Toronto, or any other of our important centres, when other routes are obtainable. Certain it is that no monetary consideration could comâ€" pensate the property owners for th» loss of the usefulness and desirabiliâ€" ty of their homes; no money â€" can purchase like or equally good locaâ€" tions, for the obvious reason that they do not exist and cannot be made. However, in order to place themâ€" selves on record, the rateâ€"payers have taken the action mentioned above. n _â€"The property owners have as yet no means of ascertaining‘ whether your Company seriously â€" considers the route surveyed within the past few weeks, but it does seem inconâ€" ceivable that you will eventually de cide to adopt the same after all the data is before your board. For your information I beg to inâ€" close copy of a petition which the rateâ€"payers of the Township of North Grimsby have presented for the con sideration of the Railway Commisâ€" sion.

For the first time, we believe‘ the exports of the neighboring Republic‘s manufactures exceed ed its agricultural exports. Pre sident Taft‘s somewhat unexâ€" pected warmth of ‘greeting to the Canadian ministers at Wash ington is thus easily explained. The proposed tariff agreement is, from the United States viewâ€" point, merely a sprat thrown . to catch a whale. In other words, the apparently considerable con cessions made to Canada are the thin edge of wedge which will later be hammere% harg for the sake â€"of Americanâ€" manufactured exports. A study of trade staâ€" tistics shows immediately thait if the Uniteq States continues manufacturing as it has been in the last twentyâ€"five years, and if in the next quarter of=â€"a cen tury the industry of agriculâ€" ture and the volume of its proâ€" duct contintie aâ€"»Atendency _ toâ€" wards a steady and progressive increase, the neighboring reâ€" public must have a broader outâ€" let for its goods. Canada is the nearest market.. Not only that, it is one with the greatest purâ€" chasing possibilities, adding as it is to its population by means of immigration alone ‘at: the rate of approximately one and a half millions every ten years. The question of a market for the rapidly growing volume _ of American manufactures is, there fore, one of the most important questions for the republic. The annexation of Canada in a com mercial. sense, is the solution of their problem. Can we wonder that President Taft, many of his legislators, and the manufacâ€" turers of the United_States will move heave nand earth to have the present tariff proposals ratiâ€" fieg as a first step to the next Tteâ€" vision, lower tariff on American manufactures, and later their free entry ? Tlét will prove an effective way of _ preventing great industrial growth in the }Dominion and that woulq be the ultimate result of the proâ€" posed agreement QUEBEC WILL MAKE MANUFACTURERS Erect Plants in that Provinceâ€" Interesting Facts and Figures Given by Sir Lomer Gouin Premier Gouin of Quebec proâ€" vince stated last week that the provincial government has no intention of changing the orderâ€" inâ€"Council of April last by which pulpwoog cut on Crown â€" lands must be manufactured in that province before exportation. In drafting the reciprocity agreeâ€" ment the_ â€" Dominion governâ€" ment representatives left the provinces to deal with this question. : Sir Lomer Gouin said that Quebec should preserve _ her resources and American author ities were qouted to the effect that that province was where the pulpwood supply had to be obtained. Since April, when Women‘s Suits $10.00 Children‘s Hats $3.50 Wash Dresses at $4.95 Hip length spring coats $7.50 for $4 95 Long coats, colored collar and cuffs only $10.00 Flowers and foliages 49c up to $3.00 the government‘s orderâ€"inâ€"Coun cil was passed, capital had been boming in from the United States and from England and pulp millsy were being enlarged to meet the situation. What . was the effect in the United States? ‘When the decision of the government became known the American capitalists admitâ€" ted it ‘would force American paper ‘mills to be transfered to Quebec. Quebec, he said, was the future of paper industry, and to that province the Amer iccan manufacturers looked for material to keep their .paper mills going. Sir Lomer Gouin added that British Columbia and ‘ Ontario were in accord with Quebec, angqg New Brunrsâ€" wick was also contemplating the same line of conduct. Held by Private Interests Sir Lomer gave some interest ing .. Aigures ~on‘. the â€" forestfy area of the province. He said that about 6,000,000 acres were held by pl.ivate interests, but that; in allf there were 117,000,â€" 000 acres of forests in Quebec. After . making deductions for the private _ interests which were not producing pulpwood Sir Lomer addeq that, taking the ‘fotal : as~ $;000,.000. . actes; which ha pulpwood available, the (total under: that . yhead amounted to only 5 per cent. of the rea still held by the Crown. A comparison of these figures showed that the Crown â€" lands were very important in Quebec. The question is, said Sir Lomer %}\]fall we accept this offer from ashington and goâ€" back on our. orderâ€"inâ€"Council of last April, and let our pulp go into the market of the United States to be made into paper there? Concessiors to Large Manufacâ€" turets Mr: J.. H. Kelly, of Bonavenâ€" ture, stateqg that whils capital might be expected to flow into the province for the paper and pulp industry, more woulg come if the government were ready to |make a concession to large man {ufacturers who â€" wefe prepared lto invest millions provided they l|received assurance that _ the {stumpage dues were to be fixed |for twenty years. The present |regulation is for ten years only {and Mr. Kelly remarked that .\ manufacturers were somewhat afraid to invest. knowing that their profits came late, ang that with increased obligations in view they were not anxious to co ahead. It was obvious, he said, that strong representations would be made to _ the Government to make a change. But he trusted the government would stand firm and not let the province be turned into a lumber camp, when the opportunity was there for creating a great industry. _ If the government resisteq all these demands, the time would come when â€" American capitalâ€" ists would come to Quebec, as they were now going to Ottawa, for reciprocity.
