NOTE.
Through the kindness of the local agents (Messrs. Holme, Ringer & Co.) we have been able to glance through the annual report of that remarkable corporation, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, for the year ending-June. 30th, 1903, and which was put before the share- holders at Montreal on the 7th ult. The general details of the report have got, an interest at this distance sufficienf* to justify their quotation, but one is repaid by a glance at the wonderful figures of the company's business. Their gross earnings for the year were $43.957,373, and their working expenses $28,120,527 or 63.97 per cent. The net earnings are, therefore, 36.03 per cent, or $15,836,846. The report speaks incidentally of the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of SPECIALLY AND MOST CAREFULLY
