Reception of Rev. J. M. Forbes and Family.

The parishioners of Crapaud, Springs field and Loog Creek are to be congratu- lated in securing the services of the Rev. Mr. Forbes as their rectcr. The news being announced tbat the rev. gentleman had consented to cast hs lot among us, great was the rejoicing from every quarter. The parish of Crapaud began at once to make preparations for his reception. Upon ins vestigation the rectory and outbuildings were found to be in avery delapidated condition and much work to be done in- side as well, But williog bands were not wantiog, aod soon the rectory was raised three feet, new sills placed under it, a cel- lar dug and stoned, s veranda added—the work being done cheaply by the parish- ieners, pach parish doing their part. Then inside the ladies of the congregation undertooa, and were most successful in papering eight or nine rooms, also super- intending tbe painting thereof, and merry parties might be seen for days before wending their way in the direction of the rectory accompavied by pails, brooms, mop-sticks, ull intent upon the good work at band—“ The willicog workers,” they called themselves—and in a very short time much work was accomplished and everything in readiness to receive the rector. The furniture aud household goods uaving to be brovgbt from the sta- tcn at Emerald, volunteers were not wanting, and ‘oad after load arrived at in- tervals, driven by kiod friends ; the eud- den thuoder storm proving rather disas» trovs to some of the loads.

Too much praise cannct be given to the ladies of the congregation for their inde- fatigable efforts. There remains still much work to be done in the way of painting, etc., and repairs in genera]; but paving begun the good work, we hope and pray for a continuance thereof. not forgets ting our Master’s commands “ to become not weary iu well doing,” thereby en- couraging our rector sud keeping in re~ membrance the be.oved church of our forefathers.

PROPOSED REDUCTION OF RAILWAY RATES

Discussion in the House of Commons,

— +

The Minister Admits Practically That the Reduction Ought To Be Made.

A few days ago, as already reported, discnssion arose in the House of Commons on the vote of another $10,000 to com;lcte the “ crooked work” on the Prince Ed- ward [sland railway at North Wiltshire. it was pointed out by Mr. McDonald that “to shorten the road by 3,281 feet, we shall expend $35,000, and this on a road the construction of which cost about $14,000 or $15,000 a mile.” Subsequent- ly Mr. McDonald used this latter fact to some purpose when contending for a re- duction of railway rates. This is a mat- ter of so much interest and importance to the public of Prince Edward Island that we quote from Hansard that part of the

discussion which referred partieularly to It:

Mr. McDonald. In the fir-t place, we have a road that cost $16,000 per mile as against the $48,000 per mile that che In- tercolonial railway cost, and you make us pay just as high rates on the Island road

mile. It is a most ridiculous, absurd dishonest transaction, not only on the part of the Government, but on the part of pre» ceding Governments. The people of Pricce Edward Island object to this course. We have got to pay one-third more for both freight and passengers in comparison with cther roads on account of increased length of, about one-third by reason of the curves,aud you charge us just as much as youdo on a Straight road that cost three timesas much. Now, I believe: that the Government would be consulting the interests of the country if they put the rates of that road very much lower

thanthey are now. In the first place we

have no long hauls, and pedple only travel

@ short distance and send freight a short distance. Besidee that, nearly all the

people have their own horses and rigs,

which they use when they want to goa short distance. If the rates on that road were put down to @ reasonable figure in comparison with the cost, I believe the travel would be greatly increased, and the revenues would be greatly increased. As

I said before, we do not object to the curves being atraightened, but they should be straightened in a businesslike way. In the future you should let the work by ten-

der, and then there would be no occasion

for fault finding. Would the Minister tell me where these curves are to be straighi- eved ?

The Minister of Railways and Canals. There are three distinct localities whee it is proposed to straighten these curves, at North Wiltshire, Royalist and Caldwell.

Mr. Martin. I think the Minister should give some consideration to the pro- position that was made by my hon. friend in regard to reducing the rates on Prince Edward Island Railway. ! thik the Minister is anxious to do something for the province, although, if he has not accomplished much, I suppose we should not blame him because his intentions

may have been good. The question of re- duciug the rates deserves to be taken into consideration. You are scarcely justified in charging a8 great rates on a road that cost $16,000 a mile as you are on the

Intercolonial Railway, which cost three times as much. It on the Prince Edward Teland Railway,

you have to travel three miles in order to accompolish two miles of your journey, it is plain that you are not only paying at the rate of 3 cente a mile but that you are pay ‘ing at the rateof44 cents a mile, You ‘travel overa mile and @ half of the road in {order to,accomplish a mile. I referred to | this sometime ago in speaking on another question, and I think the proposal is worthy of the attention of the hon. Minist- ‘er of Railways and Canals. I sin- ‘cerely believe that, if the rate 'on that road were reduced according ;to the capacity of the road, the |hon. gentleman would have more re- venue from ite operation than he has to- day. There is a prejudice in the minds of the people who travel over that road because they have to pay more than when they travel on the Intercolonial. When ‘these curves are taken into consideration ' jt is not 3 cente a mile that they are pay- ing, but they are paying at the rate of 44 cents per mile, and in order to equalize ; (Continued on page five.)
