THE FARMER FEEDS THEM ALL.
Tie lord may iive right royally ; The soldier ride in pomp and pride, The sailor ride o’er oceans wide ; But this or that whate’er befall,
‘ | The king may rule o’er land aud sea, |
The farmer, he muet feed them all. | The writer thinks, the poet sings, g | The craf#men fashions wondrous things,
Lhe miner fol!ows precious lead:; But this or that whate’er befall, The fariner, he must feed them all.

Tine merchant, he may buy or sell,

The farmer’s trade is one of worth ; He’s partner with the sky and earth, Aod partoer with the eun and rain. And no mas loses by bis gain, And if men rise or if men fall. The farmer, be musat feed them all.
The farmer dares his mind to speak ; He has no gift or place to seek, To vo man living need he bow, For he who walks behind the plow, Is his own man, whate’er befall, | Beggar or king, he feeds them all. WHICH Is THE CORRECT STATEMENT. S:ix,—The Goardian of the 14th inst says i it was the MacKenzie Government made prohibition the law of the territories, and | Sir Charles Tupper says he carried that } measure through patlament as Minister lof Crown Lands. The writer is curidus 'toknow the trath. I notice also that the
about Sir Charles being the first man in parliament t© propose prohibition for the Yukon. Suppose Sir Charles were in: vited to attend a temperance meeting, but preferred going toa champagne supper to a club, would the incident get the go bye? | I wonder would it. Quiz.

THE YUKON DEAL,
The report of their civil engineer, disre~ garded by the government, showed what a monstrous job the Yokon deal is. We quote the summary as published ;: “His re. port to the government shows that the feslin=Strickeen rai way will cosi $2,85@,- 600, that it is a simple matter to complete it by September 1, and that allowing for a depreciation of i@ per cent. annually tbe line will, at a conservative estimate, pey a dividend of $209,000 above expenses. Mr. Jennings’ estimate of the cost of a railway over the proposed route is based on the assumption that it will begin at Little Caayon, on the Stickeen river, that is the point ac which he thinks the line should commence, as above that navigation of the Stickeen is danger- Little Canyon is 96 miles from the mouth of the Stickeen, but it seems from the agreement the railway is to have its terminus at Glenora or Telegraph Creek, 40 or 5U miles farther inland. The engin- eer’s extimate of the cost of a railway from Little Canyon along the left bank of the Stich+ en river to Glenora, then crossing the stream and continuing to Teslin lake isas follows:
ous.
Thirtygmiles medium......... $ 746,000 One hundred and twenty-five
TE TIE iia, en ccdedosanics 1,625,000 Thirty miles heavy............ 1,080,000
606,000
os seccee es $3,901,000
“This is for 208 miles of railway from a safe point of navigation on the Stickeen to Teslin lake. It is at the average rate of $19,000 a mile. For the heavy work Mr. Jennings estimates $36,000 a mile, for the mediuns $22,000, and tor the light $13,000 per mile. He poinis out that if the line is not continued to Little Canyon, $746,000 for a bridge and road building must be deducted trom his estimates. This brings the estimated cost of the proposed railway down to $3,217,000 provided it is built as | w first-class railway. For the building of an electric line from Stickeen River to Tesiin Lake, including power stations, equipment constractioa, engines and Care, Mr. Jennings reports the cost would be
2,850,000. contractors will build. '
As to the probable profits of the line, some estimates are furnished by Mr. Jennings, which do not err on the side of excessive expectations. The cost of opera ting the railway *1x months in the year is placed at $55,000. The receipts of the undertaking are estimated as follows: Twelve thousand passengers, be-
ing 100 per day, for four
months, at 5 cents per mile, or

“He deducts from this one-tenth of the cost of the railway, so that in ten years the line would have repaid ajl the outlay upon it. This depreciation of $285,000 a year brings she net profit to $209,000. These figures are based on the assumption that only 12,000 persons will go over the route, but the estimates for the coming year are from 100,000 to 250,080.”
These estimates of their own engineer were in the hands of the Government when they made the secret bargain with Mackenzie and Mann, and pave away 3,750,000 acres of the best gold-bearing lands in the world—atract nearly four times as large as this Province!
