THE C.P.R. PURCHASE,:?
Upon the recent announcement of the pur. chase by the C. P. R. of the Elder-Dempster line of Atlantic packets, the Liverpool Journal of Commerce, published an exhaustive account of the history that has marked the development of the collassal Beaver interests under the able management of Sir Alfred Jones. It will be extremely interesting for many to learn that only in 1898, when the Elder-Dempsters took over the vessels, then known as the Beaver liners, there were only three steamers with combined tonnage of not much over 12,000
Ions.
"The whole system has grown out of the sailing fleet owned by the Canada Sailing Company of Montreal. After conducting the business for some years with five ships, it was decided to branch out into steam. In or about 1875 the first steamer (Lake Champlain) was put on the service followed immediately by the Lake Nepigon and the Lake Megantic. These vessels were about 2,500 tons register, then considered large ships. Others fol- lowed, and a regular service, was maintained for years, until the company went into fi quidati-h in 1894. The ships became known as the "Lake" boa's, from the name; also as the "Beaver" line because of the house flag, whose characteristic is the animal of that Dame. In 1895 Mesers. D. and C. Maclver were appointed managers of the filcet, under the title of the "Reaver Line." The fleet con- sisted of the Lake Superior, Lake Ontario, Lake Winnipeg, and Lake Hury. The in nipeg was sold, and in order to secure the mail contract Messrs. Maciver purchased the Cunarder Gallia and put her in the service, at the same time augmenting the fleet with the Australian liner Tongariro. These two latter ships, together with the Ruapehu, were owned or chartered by the managers (Messrs. D. and C. Maclver) under the name of the Beaver Line Associnted Steamers, Limited, and ran with the others. In December, 1898, the Canada Shipping Company, at Montreal, sold the concern, "lock, stock, and barrel, to Messrs. Elder Dempster and Co., which firm was then very extensively engaged in the Canadian trade. The feet, as indicated, consisted then of but three steamers *not, of course, including Bearer Line Associated steamers to engage in the trade. The Canadian mail contract was again secured, and retained for some-time.

Although Messrs. Elder, Dempster developed the trade in a very remarkable manner, beating all records as to cargo carying for several years, it was not considered expedient to launch forth into costly fast passenger steamers for the trade owing to the uncertainty that has for years prevailed in the Ottawa Government. This factor has acted detrimentally, to the develop ment of the direct Canadian fast passenger service, for a very high speed service has been talked of for years and those in the trade have been hanging back in order to be ready to enter the lists for a properly subsidized line, and in order not to bave expensive ships made obsolete by the demands for a 20-knot service, which might at any time have been spring upon them. But if the first-class passenger service wero neglected in measure by Messts, Elder, Dempster and Co., the same cannot be said of the third-class, for the book- ings of the line in that direction have been ex- ceptionally heavy during the seasons. In the matter of cargo, however, the greatest possible Army Pay Department-Hongkong: Chief facilities have been offered by the firm, and it Paymaster, 640; Staff Paymaster, £457; will be remembered that Sir Alfred Jones Paymaster, 183; servant allowance, 6431 pointed out some two or three years since thatcvilian and pensioner subordinate £zė; he had made it possible for shippers to have postage and contingencies, £28. Total, £1,371. their merchandise carried in his ships at the Weihaiwei: Extra duty pay to officers acting rate of a seventh of a penny per ton per mile as paymasters, £91; postage and contin- a matter of which any man might well be gencies, £10. Total, 101, proud. The immense increase in the Canadian trade since Messrs. Eler, Dempster devoted their energies to it has been most remarkable, and the firm has reaped the benefit of its enter prisc and of the natural expansion of British North America. Other shipping lines also have played a prominent part in the building up of Canada, and the name of the great Dominion cannot be considered without them -notably the Allan Line.
Medical Establishment,-Hongkong and Wei. halw. i; Colonel, £730; nine lieutenant-colonels and officers of tower ranks, £3.370; quarter- master, £200; servant and messallowance, £230. Total pay of Medical Officers, 4,530 Postage and contingencies, 19; nursing service, £280; allowance for board, washing, and clothing, £510; nurses in women's hospital, £164 re. gimental hospital orderlies and miscellaneous labour, 650; corps pay and extra duty pay, £450
Army Ordnance Department-Hongkong: Clerks, writers, and other subardinates con- tinuously employed, 160, £1654; temporary labour, £2,101. Total, £5,755 (£7,540).

Sir Alfred Jones has, however, worked des- perately hard in behalf of Canada, and the country owes him a deep debt of gratitude. What it means in one direction alone is in- dicated by the fact that when his firm bought the Canada Shipping Company (Reaver Line) there were only obsolete ateamers of something like 12,000 tons, whereas he disposes of the line after a matter of four years, having a feet

sition, and it is to be hoped, for the purchasers' ake, that the management will remain in the hands of the firm that built up the business, at least for some time to come. It is stated that eventually separate offices will be taken for the lina.under its altered conditions, but, as yet no definite announcement can be made.
It is improbable that Mesir. Eldor, Dempster will be engaged independently in the Canadian trade. When relieved of all responsibility of the present brach of the business, which in cludes sailings from Liverpool, London and Avonmouth, It is a matter for confecture as to what direction Sir Alfred Jones will then throw his surplus energies. As for the C. P.
