ERY.--A correspondent writes: Mrs. McLeod of Long River, New London. P. E. 1. has for the last: four months been visiting her daughter, Mrs. A. D. Stirling oil Pictou, N. S. When she went to Nova. Scotia 'she was almost totally blind, Mis. Stirling consulted Di'. Bell, New Glasgow and alter treating her for some time he called in Dr. Cox and they decided to op- erate. Although fthe operation v/:is :t very delicate and difficult one, und the patient was eighty-seven years of. age, it was altogether successful and she will return to her home seeing. Sometimes we think wc have- to- go to New York or Montreal for such an operation when we have quite as great skill near at hand. Mrs; Mc- LeOd'5 husband passed away some forty years ago. He was the brother of Mr. Nell McLeod, K. C., of Summer- slde, and she was left withafamily of little children and the farm not fully paid. for. With dauntless courage and heroic iaith and unfailing industry she took up her task and carried on and paid for the farm. That was no small task wlicii eggs were l0 cents ii dozen, potatoes 18 cents n. bushel and oats 28 and butter 15 cents 9. lb. but through her careful manazcment and energy she was succcf.=-._€ul and her son Mr. Murdoch McLeo~'l occu- pies one of the finest properties in that part of P. E. I. Her friends trust that her last years may be peaceful and happy and that she may 'oe spar- cd many years and in' the Eventide of life there may be light.

Approximately 11.000 more people

twenty-five guests in the buildinfg, and a staff of about thirty, all cf wh':;n wc;c in bed. It E si. mutt-er for ozngratulation that there were no c2.:usltie.3.

Slime of the guests had rather pm

A man 'occupying -t rear bedltum, s‘.=eln'g the flames com- ing up the elevator shaft, was, it is said, kept from jumping, and was taken down a. ladder by thc firemen.

lC:madian Press)

TORONTO, Ont., Jan. 12.-In rt

special despatch from Ottawa thc Mail and Empire today says: Lines are being drawn for what loolg; like a brittle of the transportation giants at the forthcoming' session of parlia- ment for railroad rights in the de- velopment of the northwest.. The giants at issue are the Canadian Pa- cific aiid thc Canadian National Rail- ways and the bone of their conten- tion is the branch line building pro- gramme of each company.

"Following hard upon the heels of

the aniiouiiccment of the Canadian Pacific branch. lilies programme in Western Canada-. Sir Henry -Thornton last night, issued u measured state- ment pointing out that the compan- ies have been unable to agree on sev- eral issues that must be fought out before thc railway committee of parliament. -_

"In his statement hc charges in ef-

fect thatthe Canadian Pacific is seeking to invade territory developed and colonized by the Canadian Na- tional -and its predecessors- and to duplicate or parallel the branch lilies pltinnccl or in course of construction by the Canadian National.

"The struggle has been looming for

soine"time_ Last July the Cauadiaii Pacific secured o. ruling from the board of railway commissioners for Canada authorizing construction of a branch line kncwri as the Willlngdon line running between Willingdon and Edmonton. Charging that this wus an unwarranted duplication mid' parall- elling of C. N. R. lincs, the National svsten-i lodged an appeal with the Supreme Court of Canada. at the some time warning the G. P. R. that if it proceeded to build the linc/bc- fore thc oppcal was dccidcd it would do ‘so at its risk. This warning was disregarded and the line completed.

"It is indicated that the branch

lines contention involving several western constituencies including that of the Prime Minister himself, caus- ed creat uneasiness and that Hon.. C. A- DUUTHHE moved the Oificials of the two companies to compose their dill- erences and that meanwhile thc issue should not be fought béfore the pub- lic nr in tlie press. '

"The st'at_cm`cnt issued by Sir ‘Henry

therefore indicates that the possibility of agreement is remote and that the situation is tn be one ol the major issues of politics in the appmaehing session." »
