Railroad construction must continue and railway companies must have more equipment to meet the deman:l of heavier traffic. Harbors are being improved, new .terminals erected, canals built, grain elevators set in place, Shipyards are busy with new freight boats, foundries have orders for the coming _months, factories have enough to keep wheels revolving with- out much rest. Minerals are being mined, fisheries exploited, forest wealth extracted, and. the backbone of all, the wheat and grain crops, are not likely to be any‘less this year than they were last. As for money, investors will ‘become’ less timid, They will have no hesitation in subscribing to the many legitimate loans which must-be sought during the next few. months by reputable Canadian borrowers.

The object of the plan ~ which the committee suggests i is to “create a means by‘which'the}, davinigs of a district would’ he ‘retained within the district=it- self and always ‘available for the’ development and the i increase € of reulty.

It is not to be wondered-.at_ that rural districts are short of cash, for if they pay life insurance it is sent out of the district, if they, buy. fire insur- ance it,is also sent out of the district (unless it is given toa local company) ‘or deposited in the postoffice savings bank, it at once goes ont of the district, and ‘the only way by which the money finds its way back to the district is in the form of mortgages on the farn- lands at high rates of ; interest, and even then it is hard to get. “This plan aims to correct, - as {far as possible, that difficulty by .|having farmers, through the or- ganization, loan to farmers—to the profit and mutual advantage of both, “The farmers of Canada have for over Uhitty years been trying to find out dnd correct this’ diffl- They” thought” ‘that: they were paying too ‘much for ‘what they had to” buy and organized the grange ‘that they ‘might buy right--but without suctess.. - They have organized selling ° agencies that they might shire ina great- er part of the; price which consum- ers had to pay for their produce, with, but slight auccess, While. in business itis 4 generally ad- mitted principle: that those “that contral the money are able to both buy and sell . right,” as a “result, the control of the money" 6 2 country. distriets by the people 6 ot "i the country iso one of the pu poses " New” York, ‘Jan. °19:—With | every bone broken and his lungs |i punctured by the horns of a buck deer, Patrick Moran, for the past fourteen years head keeper of the deer preserve on the Islip estate of the late Edward Haw-|| ley, was found dead tonight in the enclosure in which the ani- mal was kept.
