Scarcity of Rails in Canada At a iiiwtina: of tho legislature of SaskatcLcwan, Canada, on Feb. 10, 1912, a resolution was unanimously adopted calling upon the dominion government to abolish the duty on steel rails from the United States until the Canadian manufacturers should be able to meet the de mand. It was pointed out by a member that the Canadian mills Avero 17,000 . tons behind in their or.lcrs. (The duty on steel rails imiortd from the .United States is $7 per ton; from the. United Kingdom, .$4.50 per ton.") The rapid development of western Canada has made it impossible for the railways to keep pa-e with the demands. While the programs of the railways for tho current year in dicate great additions in steel mileage, ihey are dependent entirely upon their ability to get the necessary rails. The Grand Trunk Pacific in outlining its program for the year puts stress on its ability to carry out the construction of branch lines ''provided it can get the steel rails." Alreadv there are hundreds of miles of radhed completed awaiting the laying of steel. The provincial government has guaranteed the bonds of the railways within tlie province to $1:3,000 per mile, and it is stated that nmvanH of (iOO miles of roadbed, within the province has leen completed and waitit:;; for r.i'l- !o? two years.

This condition must continue for years to come. ler market item is the fact that this section is, by way of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the steamer Prince Rupert, several hundreds of miles nearer the Orient than any other shipping center or nort Another lines from on or near the Pacific Coast. This makes possible an almost absolute control of the Oriental markets, the demands of which are growing rapidly every year. Do You Act While Others Are Thinking?
