NOBODY KNOWS.
Nobody outside of the Government and
the Grand Trunk niagnates knows what
are the new terms and conditions upon
which the Government and the Company
have agreed and which Parliament is
shortly to_be asked to ratify. We all
know that the original agreement has
hiiled and broken down because the live
million dollar deposit which the Company
agreed to put up months me was not
forthcoming. 'I`iie Uauipaiiy, or rather its
directorate oilerei to put up certain
Grand Trunk bonds, but this they had not
the legal authority tn do, nor had they the
express consent oi the Grand Trunk share-
holders to appropriate these securities for
that purpose. Parliament. could legalise
the action, hut nobody knows whether
the shareholders will empower their dir-
cators to put up the bonds in any ease.
The Montreal Witness tells that a giod
many of the ministerial following at
Ottawa would not be disappointed if cir-
cumstances forced the Government to
build the new highway itself and then
adopt whatever plan is considered best
for its management. This implies that
an entirely new arrangement may he
made. Then again we have it on the
authority of the Ottawa Free Press, the
home organ of the Government, that the
route originally proposed scuth of Lake
Nipigcn has been found unsatisfactory.
Tcerc is there little land tit for agriculture
and apparently small mining prospects.The
grades would not be of the nature laid
down by the Charlton standard. Better
farming lsnd and much easier grades
can be liai by going some 300 miles
further north. And Sir Sanford Fleming

weather. So it would appear that the
Russian authorities have not forgotten
everything. The weak polntln this pre-
cautionary proceeding would be if the

'l`he Russian soldiers are conveyed over
the Siberian Railway in box cars, with
small windows cut in the sides, eaoh car
being provided with a stove and sleeping
hunks. A twenty-live car train will carry
about 36 soldiers per carori)00 in the train.
This of course makes no allowance for
supplies, ammunition, horses or field
guns. Roughly calculating seven trains
to the mile, trains enough to carry 100,-
000 men would cover 16 miles of railway.
At least hall as much more in the way of
train iiccomodatinn would be required for
gtiiis, hnggage, horses and their supplies
for tlicjonrney, making 24 miles of en-
gines and cars. As many cars must
necessarily be returned westward as are
sent eastward, even if they come back
empty. Sidings are 25 to 30 miles apart.
These facts and figures may give some
conception of the traffic on the Siberian
Railway which the war involves, and
what must he the delay and trouble when
a car becomes derailed or any form of
accident stops a train.

improperly digested food usually forms
gases that cause n painful distentlon of
the stomach and pressure n alnst the
heart. This results in much pan and dis-

tention, dispel the gas and cure the dys-
peptic pains very quickly }'_’olson`s Nar-
