A Cigar

That Has
Caught 011 ,
There are plenty of fairly
good cigars. They can be
had anywhere if you know
what to ask for, but there
is occasionally a brand of
such unusual merit that
everybody is pleased and
passes the word on to other
smokers. One o. these un-
usual brands is the
BADEN POWELL
which is made especially
for us. If you haven’t yet
tried them, you are one of
the few who havn’t yet
caught on to the best thing
going. Better get in line
at once.

zraph comp sri --- by the Dominion within
the past twent - -five years the power has
been distinctly reserved to the Govern-
ment to acquire the lines and cables of
__ such companies and to operate the same.
What is not so generally known is that
between the year 1880 and the preient
time the Government of Canada has con-
structed and operated a larga number,
I mostly of short lines of telegraph and-calr Squash. . . _ _

These land lines are widely distributed
over the Dominion, while the cables -in

ernment. land telegraph lines uiakea total
of 5,433 miles in length and the cables 27l
miles. Of the land lines 14 miles are in
__ Newfoundland, 317 miles in Nova. Scotia.
34 miles in New Brunswick, 1512i miles in
Quebec, 25 miles in Ontario, 693 miles *_ in
the Northwest, 2,263 miles in British Col-
umbia ani 639 m`1es in the Yukon.
Ot the 24 Dominion cables six are in
Nova Scotia, with a. lengzh of 23 m_i1°s;
live are in New Brunswick, with a. length
of 11 miles; ll are in Quebec with a leuizth
of 186 miles, .and two in Ontario with a
length of 17 miles. A number of these
cables are aslong as or lcrger thau that
connecting this Island with the mainland.
T They ranizo in leazth from one quarter of
a mils up to 5:1 miles each. the latter
being thelength of the cable connecting
Meat Ccv‘, Cape Breton to the Magdalen
; Islands. There are 143 miles of Govern-
various othzr islands and points on thc'
mainland. It may be incidentally men-
tioned tt at the Government also main
_tains and operates 223 miles of land lines
on the island of Anticcsii and 83 miles of
land lines on the Magdalen Islands,a. total
Q of 3l)6 mill s of land lines and 143 miles of
