But it was desirable to solve the government control and to establish a uniform system. This announcement was Niad a by Tho minister of Trade and Commerce Dur ing the discussion of estimates for the construction and operation of terminal and Interior elevators. The discussion occupied the whole afternoon and five and a half millions was voted for the Croose. Or.

The Saskatoon and Moose jaw elevators Are to be ready this season and that in Calgary for the crop of 1915. The other two will be later. Hon.

Premier Borden said that he a child consult with the acting minister of railways and let him know later. T estimates of the department of Trade and Commerce were taken us and Hoiu George e. Foster gave considerable information regarding the terminal elevator at fort William. He said its working had been almost perfect Dur ing the partial year that it has been in operation. see How there were quite distinct advantages in that the government officer had not Only the supervision but also the control of the elevator. He gave the receipts for the partial year up to March 5 As follows wheat 3,343,674 bushels Oats &66,739 Barley 283,246 flax 2, 530,187 total. 7,083,846. The expenses direct and indirect up to the end of february were $33, 259, while the receipts were $84,850. The minister pointed out however. That the lean months were yet to come and he could riot say what the total expenses for the first year of opera Tion would be. He said that a government elevator was at Dis advantage in that it had to outside sources to draw from of. Interested Ahles to gather Grain for it. It was found accordingly that the private companies were in the habit of Stor ing Grain in their two elevators but checking it out from the a Overn Anent elevator whenever they got a Chance. He said that the charges of the govern ment Levator were the same As of the private companies. It had a capacity of three and a millions and had Cost one and a Quarter millions amounting to 42c per Bushel of Eleva Tor capacity. Farmers sold quickly. There were factors which made it difficult for Farmers to ship to the ter Minal elevators. When they harvested their Grain they were often pressed for returns and put it into the hands of those who could give them the quickest Money. Until the Farmers were More Able than they Are on the average today to wait a considerable time for their return and the Prospect of a better Price there would not be Rainich Grain sent to the terminal elevators at the head of the by the Farmers themselves. When they did reach a Point of Independence How Ever the minister thought that they would prefer the government elevator to any private Grain company. W. A. Bart Man Medicine hat said that2hopes had been held out last year that Lethbridge might be chosen As the location for another elevator in Alberta. He pointed of that it was a the Centre of a great Grain growing country with railway facilities and1 f militia has Given notice of a Bill to extend the time in which applications will be received for fenian raid Bounty to december 31, 1915. The time had expired on january 1-last. This is an Extension for two years. The Bill also pro vide for payment at bounties to wide own of veterans who were living when tie original act became Law on april 1, 1912. To is said that the Extension of time will result in thousands of additional applications being received especially from Nova Scotia the prov Ince where the male population was called out for service in. 1866. It. Is understood that Many of the veterans in that province when mustered out were not provided with arms and the impression prevailed until recently that Only Mea who a d Ben armed would obtain the Bounty. However just before the time for applications expired a number of men who had been out without arms were Given the Bounty. The result was that others sought to get their applications a and were greatly disappointed to find that they had been shutout. As soon As the Law extending the time for applications receives Royal Sanc Tion there will be thousands of Nova Scotia veterans heard from.
