The annual
statement of the
Canadian Pacific
Railway and the
report which the
company’s pre
dent, E. W. Beat.
, made to the
shareholders at
the annual meete
ing are matters
of first rate in-
terest, not only to
the fast wing

‘}dian citizens who

= W. Beatty, K.C. road, but to all
mterested. in Canadian progress and
development, By reason of the way
in which the company’s operations
touch all phases of Canadian life
and enterprise there can be no pro-
nounced epreasion or prosperity in
any part of the country without its

bein,
the Vanadian Pacific. There is a.
barometer of the country’s foreign
trade also in the results of the opera~
tions of the. company's steamships
upon the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
e was considerable rea-
son for gratification in the presi-
dent’s statement made at the annual
meeting on May 7th, that the opera-
tions of the company had been con
ducted throughout.:1923 in a satis-
factory manner and with satisfactory
results, Mr. Beatty pointed out that
as earnings for the year, which
ad totalle $195,837,089, were
greater by $9,162,000 than those of.
1923. Working expenses, however,
increased by $7,984,000 to $158,358,«
679. This le:ge increase in operat.
ing costs was due to ‘large expendi-
tures made upon thé property in
order that.it might be kept to tha:
highest possible physical standard
and capable of rendering the best
possible service to the community.
As a result the property was never
‘in so excellent a condition as it
now is, Net earnings for the year
were $387,479.010, an increase of
$1,177,000.

The total tonnage moved by the
‘gompany duting thé year amounted
to 30,852.994, an increase over that
of the previous year of 8,108,408,
due to a heavier movement of grain.
lumber, manufactured articles and-
general merchandise, the largest

products, Mr. Beatty pointed out
that this satisfactory condition, had.
extended well into the present year
and that due to favorable operating
conditions. and heavy. traffic net
earnings for the first qitarter-of 1924
had increased over those of the
same period last year by $1,253,814.

Referring to the Government syse
tem of railroads, Mr. Beatty said
that the difference between it and
the Canadian Pacific was largely in
name only and in the secident of
personnel of shareholders. The
securities of both systema were own-
ed by private investora throughout
the world and there was 4 signifi-
cant steady increase in both Cana-
dian and British holdings of Cana+
dian Pacific common stock. ‘Two
phases of the general railway situa.
tion called for criticism, nder a
statute passed in 1919 the Govern-
ment-owned lines may construct

location and other details by the
Raijilwey Commission, Thus they
may parallel or duplicate existing
lines of any other company once the
Minister approves and parliament
authorizes the expenditure. Mr,
Beatty stated that in his opinion it
was equally in the interests of the
Canadian people and. of all Cana-
dian railroads that the companies
should be in the same position in
this respect. The other phase waa
the result of the Crow’s:Nest Pass
