Closing Out the Sections Nineteen sections between J asper and Prince Rupert have been closed by the Canaditn National Railway nnd the men are now moving about the coutry bumping those who hare less seniority. ‘This action on the part of the railway is taken in the inter rest of cconomny, it is snid:. But it seems to most people that if the railway com- jwiny devoted some of its attcention. t- developing business along the northern line, and there is lots of it. to develop, it would be more in the. interests” of economy. After keeping the line in a fuir state of repair during. the three years of depression and then take the | nevessary steps tu ensure its rapid de- terioration just when’ some business fs sheginning to force itself upon. the ruil: way, dous net seem to be in Line | witi the statement of the Premier of Cau ada when he recently told Prince: Rk pert people that he was in accord with: the idea ofthe railway company using ity faeilitiees at Prince Rupert. The Canadian National Railway is not, and has- not treated the north fairly in imy respect, but has used it nierely as a convenionce to the southern’ part of the pravinee, ; Au iinpression is abroad that there is'a niger in the wood pile. One set of men-say they are all for a spunre deal for the north and the next word that ‘comes is that the north is to bt ent off, and is actually made to pay tribute to’ anather part of the province The first set of men then express re- “pret at the action of the railway com- pany but “it can’t be helped now thut it is done.” There is a very. common, if ‘somewhat vulgar expression, ‘that would: fit the case exceptionally well, The. greatest. trouble between the rail- way -compiny and the people’ of the north is a luck of sincerity on the part af the company, Anyone’ who pays attention to the welfare of the north soon becomes disgusted. COCK AND BULL You have often heard the expressic * “a vouk and bull story” wlihout realiz- it had speclal signifiemes when appli- ed to varies told by nutomobile tourists Nevertheless this expression can trace its ovigin ditect ‘to the early days of highway transportation, If seems in Bugitnd’s merry couehing days, tray- eHers coming Inte Atéatford from the north stopped at the "Cock", which was an inn on one side of the morrow main street, while travellers fromthe south. stopped at the “Bull”, on the other side of the strect. After dinner the travellers world consult ench other about the state of the ronds they were io traverse the next day and there were ‘frequent overstatements highway nen, snowdrifts and wash- outs, In this country, ‘even the offi- cial rand bniletIns semetimes tum-out ta be Seock and bull” stortes,.
