~ PROFITABLE TELEGRAPH BUSINESS.

The telfgragh companies doing the principal business on land in Canada

which operates 17,930 miles of line; the Canadian Pacific Telegraph Company op: .leraiing 9.595 miles of line and the Wee-

=tern Union '_T¢1egraph .Company of the

:United States with 30,l9_4 miles. Each of these has in operation from two to four times as many miles ot wire as is repre- sented by the llue length. GQDGTBUY speaking it{Lmay be stated that the tele- graph business west of Quebec is handled ` by the Great North Western and the Canadian Pacino while that of the Mari-

time Provinces is mainly done by the ‘Western Union, the exception in the lat- " ter me being that the c. P. R. transact. business_:_wherever its railway lines extend. 'A' `

In lwl the Great'Northweetern had 1451

omoes and transmitted 2,596,011 messages.

_Western Union ln_iCaaada_ operated 218

Itwillfba seen ata glance that the two'

share of the business, the number of mee- sages transmitted by the Western Union being less than one fourth of the number handled by :either of the others. We have not at hand the financial statements ot the great North Western or the Canadian Pacific Companies. But we know that the North Western

years ago leased the 'extensive system o! the Montreal Telegraph Company-for a term of 97 years on terms which enable the share holders ot the Montreal Com- pany to receive 8 per cent dividends, Also.

that the Western Union pays 8 per cap; quarterly in advance on the capital stock ot the Dominion Telegraph Company whose lines it has leased torw years and continues to operate. _ -

Aswe have seen the Western Union

does the main part ot the commercial

siderable share. Both oi- these are wholly shut out oi Prince Edward Island. But

to do: Business in New Brunswick and

compared with the rates we acc compelled

use fauna it pt-eatabu to ieeseesd'

andWesternProvlnceson an 8 per cent|

basis. It follows that ii we had a modern

telegraph system here that it ,could be profitably conducted in connection with

one or other of the connecting lines op the Mainland at the 'same rate as New

Brunswick and Nova Scotia now enjoy.

As we showed in a previous article the

number ot telegraph messages handled in the Dominion 'is about one per head o the population, this in turn being less than hal! the proportion of messages to population in the United Kingdom (about 2§ per heal) One message per head for the population of Prince Edward Island' would be 103,258 messages a year. At an average of only 25 cents per message this

would givea business of $25,814. yn fact' the revenue should easily reach $30,110) a year it the business were worked up as

than at present while giving our people the great boon cf reasonable rates. Our tele graph business ought to be much larger per head than on the mainland because 'of the Y frequent and long interruptions of the

mall service. /
