CANALS BEAT R.\IL\'{.\\'S. n.1l2atc of Growth oi Traffic in Fast Twenty Years. ._ A despatch from Ottawa says: The annual blue book containing the canal statistics of the Dominion for the season of 1906 was issued on Wednesday. The figures show a large increase in the busi- ness between Canadian ports during the past twenty years particularly with re- gard to westward traffic. The gmwth has been considerable from Canadian 10 United States ports. The up-bcund traffic has been in larger vclume than t‘.at. moving eastward. Since 1887 the trade between United States by Canadian canals has grown largely. In this instance, however, the movement downward has been greater than upward. There has been an actual (shrinkage. in the up trailic between United States and Canadian ports. The eastbound business, however, has prac- bcatly doubled. ‘ The expansion of business with canals is relatively larger than that shown by Canadian railways. _i The traffic moving up and down has increased 287 per cent. during the past twenty years. The westward busine$ shows a gain of 368 per cent.. while the easttward grew to the extent or 257 per cen . \\’.hile 57,966.715 tons of freight were carried by Canadian railways in 1906, as compared with 16,356,337 in 1887. the betterment was 254 per cent., as against 287 per cent. on the canals. ___»X¢_‘ TWENTY YEARS IN PRISON. \\'ouId-be Murderer of Girl Sentenced at Sherbrooke Assizes.
