INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY

Its Prospects Under the Management

When the Invercolonial was ¢onccived and constructed iis main purposes may be said to have been three-told:

1. To provide a military highway from the sea board to the interior.

2. To bind the provinces together and develop interprovincial trade.

3. To open up the country aud provide cheap Joca] transportation,

The old system of special rates between local points will be abolished and unless a system equaily as favorable is rubstitured great hardships will follow to maoy in- dustries, and a great outcry will result. These local rates are of course very much higherthan the through races, in fact, several times bigher, and on the value of local traffic the road must always depend for its profit in operation. Theie is of course a division of opuoa amung railway men and business men a3 to tue avility of the I.C. R mauagement, sith a line 250 miles longer than the C. P.R, wSi. John, and 400 miles longer than the Grand Trunk to Portland, to compeie with these roads for through business tor ovean ship- merts, A gentlemen of long expzrience in these matters dec ared, in faci, that it is absolutely impossible fur the I. C. R. to compete for this class of business under presen. conditions except at a lo-s, which would mean an increasing deficit unless local rates are increased.

Asked for his grounds for this conelu- sion, he said :

“The question of through traffi: is not a new One, but was threshed cut years ago.

Shortly afer Conservative government. came into power in 1878, Sir Charies ‘Tupper as minister o 'always undertook to wrestlewith this que ion of through treffi:. He recommesnted the extensiou of wel. C.R,trom Rver du Loup to Levis, up the opposite side of the river at Quebec by the purcrase of | 25 miles of the Grand Truuk, which was at that time ia such @ contiition that it was unsafe to ruo trains cver t at aay co.sderable speel eS

‘The purchase was madeo. condition that the Geand Trunk should invest the purcha-e movey in exter diog their line to Ch cage, which ex.epsion It Was hoped and expected would yive great impetus to through business from that city to Halifax. Elevators were built at Hal fax, freight aud passenger agencies were ela bhshed at Montre«!, Toronto, and other anportaut ceutres of tratflic, aud tne ¢ xperimeni of at- tempting LO compete wit tue Grand Trunk’s shorter lines to Fortlaud wes fairly lavoched. It was soon discovered, how-

== | ever, that business of this cla-s conid only

ibe done at alucs aud it was v.rtually abanduned. The C.P.R was then subsidized to pro- v de a shorter line to St.Jobo avd Halitax, but for ten years no Considerabie Oceau businese was developed, and it has only been within the pasttwo or three years that any througs traffi: worth mentioniog | has gone over tne C./’ R. short | ne to St. | Joho. <A mere hope! ul view is that the conditicn: of railway traffic have under- goue cousiderable change aud that the Inter | colonial, with it+ better equipment and its | better track will be able ww wverLome the disadvantage of mileage and by increased profitable traffic warrant the paymens of $200,000 per annum for renal cf the ,; Drummoud county road ‘and fur rupning | over the Grand Trunk into Montreai.

So it. will be seen that a great reeponsibility redts upon the minister and the vew traffic manager.
