back ot these lie range after range of mountains, whose mineral riches are as yet but guesse at; back further lie the smiling western- slcping orchards; back of these the fish- teeming waters of the Pacific; and across these waters the Orient\u2014that land the map of which is but half unrolled.Lo the north of this valley of the St.Law- rence and its sources lie rich wheat belts, and cattle lands, and mineral-bearing vocks.To the south are some of the fairest and most productive regions in the {temperate zone.And even as the water-courses from distant fountains seek this mighty valley in their search for the ocean, so is commerce from all these lands gravitating towards it in ever-increasing volume.Year by year the channels cut by this commerce grow deeper and deeper, and lengthen as they draw to them the trade of lands still further away.This valley of the St.Lawrence is becoming a vast hopper, into which is pouring, through a thousand duets, the grain and cattle and minerals, and all the varied products of the North, West and South, and even of that mysterious Kast, only now beginning to turn its blinking eyes to the rising sun.The distance from Montreal to Chicago On the lakes above Montreal there are 4,000 miles of coast line.From Chicago to Liverpool via the Niagara River and the St.Lawrence is 450 miles shorter than via New York, while via the Parry Sound Railway it is about 900 niles shorter, The great railway systems of the zon- tinent, seeking the line of least resistance from the West to the Atlantic seaboard, have meshed themselves within this valley of the St.Lawrence, and when the icy fetters are on the waters the iron roads strive valiantly to carry the vast volume of freight that pours into this valley in winter as in summer\u2014as resistless, as incessant, as unmeasured as the waters that pour over Niagara\u2019s leuge.But the railways are unequal to the task, and the congestion of tratlic only abates when the ice vanishes, and the lakes bear on their bosoms thousands of swift- plying vessels.The railways then become the servants of their rivals, and the trains fly to and fro, like a weaver\u2019s shuttle, = 0e 2e 0 endeavoring to appease the appetite ot those wide-gaping leviathans of the deep.The pressure upon the freight-carriers, by land or water, never ceases.Fast as new facilities for transportation may be provided, faster still comes pouring down the freight.livery new steamer, every new elevator, every new railroad, every reduction in railroad grades, every improvement in railway equipment, every increase in size of cars and capacity ot vessels\u2014merely increases the flow of commerce by making smoother its pathway.This commerce, ever growing, seeks the ocean that it may find its way to Europe.At the spot where it may leave the vessels and the cars that have borne it from the interior, and may take the ocean craft that there await it, stands a city, great already, but destined by nature to play a still greater part, and to become one of the mightiest of the commercial cemmunities of the continent, if not ot the world\u2014 The City of Montreal So situated at the junction of ocean and lake navigation, and with such a tide ot commerce sweeping up and down in front of it, Montreal possesses all the potentialities of greatness.Stupidity or nui- difference on the part of its citizens may delay the coming of the day when it will rank in population and importance with other Atlantic coast cities, but that it must come is evident.For it is not its situation alone that constitutes Montreal the first city in the Dominion, and that gives justification for belief in its future greatness.Many things have conspired to the tullding of the city, and entered into its foundations\u2014things that are mot to be measured in dollars and cents, nor represented in tables of figures, as well as those things which are self-evident, and are common to almost all great and prosperous centres of population.Chief among the characteristic features of Montreal is the presence within its borders of two races, speaking two languages, and constituting what are practically two distinct classes of the popula- tlon\u2014merging into one another at every point of contact, yet each retaining, as a whole, its individuality and character.The French-speaking people of Montreal speaking some 100,000.Yet there is no friction\u2014the people have learned the les- kindliest feeling pervades all classes.The presence of a large French-Canadian element is of great value to the city.In the ranks of the judiciary and of the learned professions men of French descent cceupy positions of absolute equality with son of tolerance, of forbearance, and the tliose held by their English-speaking colleagues; in the business world there are great commercial, financial and industrial establishments owned and controlled ny French-Canadians, but in the main the business of the city, especially that carried or with other portions of the country, and with distant lands, is in the hands of the Anglo-Saxon.Forming the bulk of population, the French-Canadians naturally constitute the larger portion of tne classes engaged in industrial pursuits, and to this fact is to be attributed Montreal\u2019s pre-eminence as a manufacturing centre, a pre-eminence not likely to be seriously thieatened so long as the city\u2019s population remains largely of French extraction.It would be difficult to over-estimate ihe value of this industrial population.It has no counterpart on the continent, cx- cept in those cities of New England which have been made the headquarters of the cotton indus- the United States by the labor of those same French-Canadians.Indas- trious, resourceful, contented, skillful, prepared to work hard and intelligently for a moderate wage; disinclined to strike or to travel; happiest when he can gather his family around him in his own house, there is no better industrial basis for a great manufacturing city than the Freuch- (Canadian as he is to-day in Montreal.try of But there are other causes contributiug materially to constitute Montreal the greatest manufacturing centre in British North America.The western suburbs of the city already lie within rifle-shot ot the Lachine rapids, whose swift-falling waters have now been harnessed, and are supplying the city with cheap power through the aid of electricity.Across the St.Lawrence, to the south, lie the Chambly rapids.These, too, have within the past summer been summoned io man\u2019s assistance.The Back river, cou- stituting the boundary of the island of Montreal on the north, will probably be called on within a short time to furnish power to turn the wheels of industry in Montreal.All of these sources of power being close to the city, the loss 1n transmission is minimized, and Montreal manufacturers should soon be able to purchase power as cheaply as any manufacturers on the continent.The general application of electricity to industrial opera- | tions has created a tendency for manufacturing enterprises to seek sites near constitute some 200,000 souls, the English water powers.Montreal manufacturers \u2018have the benefit of water privileges at their ! very doors.Another important feature in the sum of Montreal\u2019s advantages as an industrial centre is the lines of transportation by land and water, that radiate from it to every point of the compass\u2014to every nart of the globe.During the season of nawvi- ation vessels sail regularly, in ever in- creasing numbers, from Montreal outward to the great ports of England and Scotland; to the West Indies, the Mediterranean; to continental ports; to our own Lower Provinces.From Montreal inwards the fast steamers ply the Upper Lakes, to far-off Chicago and Duluth.Summer and winter are alike to the railway, and when the St.Lawrence refuses longer to bear the burdens of commerce, the iron rails bring the ever-open ports of St.John and Halifax and Portland to tha doors of Montreal.The Canadian Pacific railway, the Grand Trunk railway, the In- tercolonial railway, the Parry Sound railway, the Vermont Central railway, the Delaware & Hudson railway, the Naw York Central railway, the South Shore railway, with their innumerable branches and connections\u2014these are the roads- that make a continent tributary to Montreal's er terprise and industry.Its favorable situation, its peculiar population, its cheap and unlimited power, its remarkable transportation facilities, form a combination of advantages that ensures to Montreal a future of commercial greatness.But what of \u201cthe things that are more excellent?\u201d Is Montreal destined to be anything more than a busy mart, a hive of industry?Happily, an affirmative answer comes readily.If -he builders of the city follow the courses ot the foundation as already laid, there will be ample means of culture for the ear, the eye, the bady, the mind, the soul of the Montreal of the future.It must be remembered that Montreal is itself a creation of religious fervor\u2014that Marie of the | Incarnation, and the Sieur de Maison- | | neuve, when they founded the city, were doing a work for Holy Mother the Church, rot for the temporal realm of Louis XIV.And from that day to this, religious institutions, religious observances ard, let us hope, religion itself, have occupied a large share of the altention of the people of Montreal.In no other city ot equal size on the continent does the Reman Catholic Church stand forth so prominently as a leader of religious thought, as an almoner to the poor, as a dnector of charitable and educational institutions innumerable, as a holder oi | 1 | llands and tenements bringing in vast sums, that as regularly go out for the purposes of religion, of learning and ot pity.The air of ecclesiasticism thus given to the city it not, perhaps, without its effect on the spirit of Protestantism, which finds vent in deeds as well as in words.There is an earnestness in the spiritual life of the Protestants of Montreal which has something of Puritanism in it\u2014the sincerity and gravity of Pumtan- ism, not its narrowness and bigotry\u2014ind this earnestness has led to the erection of stately church edifices, to the maintenance of impressive musical services, and to the endowment of educational and charitable institutions peculiarly Protestant.And true Religion\u2019s handmaid, kduca- tion, has kept pace with it.The Roman Catholic institutions of learning, headed by the Montreal College and Laval Unu- versity, are omnipresent, while McGill University has sent its reputation as a seat of learning throughout the woill., Private munificence has endowed it with building after building, chair after chair, | until its equipment, particularly in the departments of mechanical arts, is such as to attract students from older and richer lands.Nor is primary education neglected, but in public, and church, and private schools are laid the foundations of a sound and comprehensive education o the youth of the city.With the lordly St.Lawrence sweeping for miles along its front; with Mouat Royal raising its majestic shoulders, green with never-fading epaulettes of pine and fir, into the northern sky; with miles | upon miles of maple and birch and elm- shaded streets; with parks and public squares that make the city, from the mountain top, look like a vast checker- board\u2014Montreal can lay claim to being Lone of those few spots on earth\u2019s surface | where the works of nature and of man unite to form a beautiful and harmonious whole.On this continent, at least, there is no city more beautifully and strikingly situated; none where the climatic conditions are more healthy and invigorating; few that are as happily endowed with the institutions that help to make men good citizens, by training them in morais and in the arts and sciences; none more happily gifted with all the circumstances and advantages that lie at the foundaticn of a great industrial community.To-day Montreal, as the great national port of the Dominion, is entering upon an era of material development, the effects of which will be felt in the remotest por- ticns of the Dominion.The deepening of the Upper St.Lawrence canals to fourteen feet, enabling barges of deeper draught and greater carrying capacity than have hitherto visited Montreal to come down from the great lakes; the construction of the Parry Sound railway, bringing Chicago four hundred miles nearer to Montreal; the construction in the harbor of Montreal of an elaborate system of modern wharves, piers, elevators and dry docks, affording facilities for loading and \u201cunloading the largest vessels economically and quickly; and, perhaps most important of all, the growing realization throughout Canada and the United Staves of the cxceptional advantages of the St.Lawrence route\u2014all these are cogent reasons for the assertion that Montreal is entering on a new era, and that in the development of that era the Dominion as a whole is vitally concerned.Just so long as Canada\u2019s trade with the Mother Land, or with the continent oË Europe, exists, so long will it be of primary in- portance to the Canadian exporter ad importer that his goods are carried across the Atlantic at the minimum of cost.When at Liverpool he meets face to face his competitor from Argentina or from New South Wales, or from the dairying districts of Denmark or Normandy, the Canadian producer may find that to the St.Lawrence route he owes his ability to sell as cheaply as they do, and yet obtain some slight reward for his labors.Kach day grows keener the competition in that mart of all the world, and consequently he who would hold his own therein must reduce at every point tle cost of production, of carriage and of sale of the articles in which he deals.\"The Canadian producer has at his command all the discoveries of science, all the inventions of industrial genius, that tend to economical production.He is now looking to his lines of transportation.In the St.Lawrence and the Atlantic he finds a waterway stretching from the docks at Liverpool and Bristol {o his very doors.With every improvement to this waterway, every development of marine arcin- tecture, every added facility for cheap and rapid transit of freight, he is deeply corcerned, for each means to him improved chances in the struggle, and increased hope of profit.During the past year or two great advances along the lines here indicated have been made, and justification thereby given for further investment and development along those lines.Freight steamers of twelve thousand tons burden have found it profitable to visit Montreal.Ocean-going vessels, railway cars and warehouses have been fitted with appliances for carrying and storing freight In ice-cold compartments, until a complete chain of cold storage accommodation stretches from the cheese and butter fae- tory in the province of Ontario to the home of the consumer in the inland towns ct England.Elevators are being built along the eastern shores of Lake Huron and of Georgian Bay, into which the grain ot Maritoba and of the Western States is peured, to find an outlet to the Atlanie at Montreal or the northern seaboard cities.In a word, the channel down which the commerce of Canada and the Western States is flowing is fast becoming smoother and deeper, and year by year this commerce will pour through it 1n larger volume and with greater force.Each year, also, will witness an increase ot interest in this route on the part of Canadians, as they come to realize what its development means to them.The time, therefore, is opportune for the publication of information bearing on this great all-Canadian route to the sea, and on the city which must for ever mark the point upon that route where river and ocean navigation meet.Montreal is the commercial, financial and manufacturing metropolis of the Dominion, and interest in its progress is as wide as the range of \u2018ts citizens\u2019 activities.This special edition, whica endeavors to give, by picture and by pen, a description of the city as © is, will therefore, it is hoped, prove of value and interest to all Canadians into whose hands it may come.Len A ! $+0+0+4+0001000100000 0000 ?$ Che Sr WRN TW .à | Digbways : G10404000004 0004000000046 What the roots are to the tree, the railroads are to a growing city.They connect it with the earth, and by reaching out their long, slender tendrils briag to it the life, the sustenance, the vital necessaries for its advancement.Without roots, the Lre: withers and dies, leaving only $he brown and brittle branches.Without railroads a city of to-day would stagz- nate, go back, could not grow\u2014in fact, could not exist.Montreal owes her present proud position 1n no small degree to the excellence of her railway connections, which have played a most important part in encouraging her manufacturing interests as well as in establishing her position as a port whence Canada\u2019s surplus products may be transhipped to the outside world.The Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk companies have been and are most POTENT FACTORS in making Montreal Canada\u2019s great commercial centre, by placing the city and its interests in close touch with the prominent cities, towns and manufacturing localities as far as the Pacific seaboard, and with the western United States.The C.P.R.has a line to Quebec on the north shore of the Sf.Lawrence, another line pushes } Chicago on the west; #4 makes connection with the Canada Atlan- A tic for Ottawa.> north up through the Laurentian hills to 3 Labelle; the main line starts its long west- #4 ward journey up the north shore of the \u2018% Ottawa, while another line, completed this * year, reaches the Capital via the south 1\" shore of the Ottawa; communication with © Toronto and western Ontario, Michigan and the western States is secured via the «* lime formerly known as the Ontario and © Quebec, while the \u201cnorth countrie,\u201d back i of Toronto, is traversed by a line to Owen Sound, where the C.P.R.steamers give \u201c\u20ac connection for Port Arthur.The Grand Trunk possesses a line to & .Quebec, on the south short of the St.Law- \u201c £ rence; its main line runs to Portland on the east, and to Toronto, Port Huron and and at Coteau it Another railway that is of great im- \u201c« portance to Montreal, by making this city the distributing point for merchandise destimed \u2018to the Maritime Provinces, 1s the Intercolonial Railway of Canada.This system embraces the Intercolonial, .which extends from Montreal to Sydney and Halifax, Nova Scotia, and St.John, New Brunswick, and the Prince Edward Island Railroad, whith runs through the centre of that tight little island.Then we have the Canada Atlantic Railway, providing a short route between Parry Sound, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec, St.John, Halifax, Boston and New York.In a word, few cities can boast of more important and far-reaching lines of rail transportation than can Montreal.THE C.P.R.Wich railway lines stretching \u2018from ocean unto ocean,\u2019 and with valuable steamship connections with Japan and China by means of its own vessels, the Canadian Pacific Railway constitutes the most important direct transportation medium between the eastern and western worlds.Chartered on February 15th, 1881, with the ambitious object of furnishing a transcontinental road from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the company opened its main line five vears later.In June, 1886, the first regular through passenger train for Vancouver, B.C., left Montreal on its journey of 2,904 miles, and reached its destination on June 28th, covering the distance in five days and nineteen hours.Since that period an ever-progressive policy has been followed.New branches have been constructed and leased lines acquired, and the entire system now represents 7,676.3 miles.To this may be added the 1,751.7 miles covered by the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway (514 miles) and the Minneapolis, St.Paul and Sault Ste.Marie Railway (11.67.7 miles), in which the C.P.R.owns a controlling interest, thus bringing the total up to 9,428 miles.Last year an agreement was entered into providing for the immediate construction of a railway from Lethbridge, Alberta, through the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass, to a connection with the company\u2019s line at Nelson, Brit- ish Columbia, a distance of 340 miles, and the work is nearing completion.Other extensions are in hand which are calculated to develop mining and smelting 1n- dustries in particular.The rapid increase of business on the line between Montreal and Toronto has made it necessary to take steps towards the double-tracking ot that section of the company\u2019s line, the traffic having now practically reached the limit of the capacity of a single-track road, and it has been decided to proceed with this work as it may be conveniently and economically done.MR.J.B.LAMBKIN, District Passenger Agent, I.C.R., assumed his present office on January Ist, 1898, leaving the employ of the C.P.R., with which road he had been connected for many years as Travelling Passenger Agent, with headquarters at Quebec.Previous to this, Mr.Lambkin had been connected with the Pullman Co.and with the Ottawa River Navigation Co.The company\u2019s splendid steamers traverse the great Inks, the water stretches of British Columbia and the Pacific ocean.\u2018Lhe railway system is split into five divisions: Eastern (the main line of which is from Montreal to Fort William), Ontario and Quebec (including Montreal to Toronto and Hamilton), Atlantic (St.John to Edmundston), Western (embracing [Fort William to Donald), and Pacific (Donald to Vancouver).he company\u2019s equipment includes 598 locomotives; 558 first and second class passenger cars and colonist sleeping cars; 99 first-class sleeping and dining cars; 30 parlor cars, official and paymasters\u2019 cars; 15,544 freight and cattle cars; 312 conductors\u2019 vans; 575 board, tool and auxiliary cars and steam shovels; Pacific steamships Empress of China, Empress of Japan, Em press of India; Pacilic coast steamships Athenian and Tartar; lake steamers Alberta, Athabasca and Manitoba; ferry steamers Ontario and Michigan; river steamers (Kootenay District), Kootenay, Rossland, Lytton, Kokanee, Slocan, Ill- cilliweat, Aberdeen Trail, Nelson and Columbia.The C.P.R.employs in Montreal alone an army of 4,500 men, and its monthly wage bill amounts to the sum of $175,000.Over two millions of dollars are paid in , Montreal for wages yearly, exclusive of the salaries which are received by the chief officers.Mk.W WAINWRIGHT Mr.J.W.Loup SIR CHARLES Rivers-WiLs N Mr.C.M.Hays Mr.F.H.McCGUIGAN GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OFFICIALS.Mr G.B.RErvE .W.E.Davis | The general offices of the company are llocated at the handsome Windsor Street depot, a massive building of blue sandstone, The Dalhousie station in the east end has just been replaced by the palatial Viger Square depot, which is a combined hotel and station, in the French Renaissance style of architecture.In the east end of the city the company\u2019s principal = workshops are sit- uate\u2014at Delorimier avenue and at Hochelaga\u2014and here are turned out locomotives and handsomely equipped and well-constructed cars, in every respeat equal to any built by American companies.The works at Delorimier avenue cover about six acres of ground, and afford employment for 820 men.Here are com- structed the immense engines which convey living and dead freight across the North American continent.At the extensive shop in Hoche- laga, where all the cast iron work is done, the construction of cars, from the freight to the emigrant car, and to the \u201csleeper,\u201d is carried on.Also located in the Kast End is a large stock yard, for the accom: modation of shippers and handlers of Jive stock.That the company is essentially Canadian, or \u201chome-made,\u201d is clear from the com: position of the board of directors: Right Hon.Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, Sir Wm.C.Van Horne, K.C.M.G;

and there has also been necessitated the rebuilding ot those celebrated structures, the Suspension creased in importance as one of the œal- ing continental trunk lines, competing tor Bridge, at Niagara Falls, and the Victoria traffic returns, the figures so far show very large increases, and it is likely that 15398 will ostablicsh a record.The statement of train mileage last year shows 6,222,400 passenger train ile., 9,621,627 freight MR.J.R.BOOTH.train miles, and 1,527,669 mixed train miles, operated at an expenditure repre- ser.ting a percentage on the gross receipts 3 ;

in 1897 the total was 1,397,103 barrels.Of wheat, in 1867 there were shipments of 1,576,538 bushels; in 184, the wheat shipments had grown to 9,900,308 bushels.Of corn, in 1867 the ship- wents were 681,708 bushels;

they employ 7,156 hands; they pay out annually $1,800,000 in wages, and their output is estimated at $8,000,000.Yet, though only three of these mills\u2014the Montreal Woollen Mills, with a capital of $100,000, six sets of cards and 75 broad looms; the Dominion Woollen Mills of Beauharnois, with a capital of $300,000, five sets of cards and 43 broad looms, and the Excelsior Woollen Mills, with 12 sets of cards and 58 broad looms\u2014are located in or near this city, what has been said of the controlling power of Montreal houses of the cotton interests of the country is equally true of the woollen manufactures.Probably in the wav of financial control the command of Montreal is greater in the case of woollens.The making of woollen goods is more frequently undertaken by small concerns and small capitalists than the manufacture of cotton goods, and the necessity of an agent sufficiently well capitalized to carry stock in the course ot distribution is greater in proportion.Montreal distributés 75 per cent.of the woollen manufactures of Canada, and practically bears the burden between the time of the production of the goods and the payment of the accounts by the buyers.As with the woollen goods manufactured in this.country, so with those imported into it, During the year 1897 there were impor Into this city woollen ds to thé extent of $3,094,516, made up follows: Carpgls.oii $ 225,799 Clothing Ce eh eerie 234,620 oths .i 939,883 | Dress Goods .while we imported, chiefly by way of Pos\u2019 Cee, 1,315,490 Knitted Goods .Shawls Ce ee 8,596 Yarns eee eter 28,135 All other manufactures of .107,482 Limiten \u201cWorks at VALLEYEIELD, & wg Tae wd oH Foc dns This establishment is situaled at Valleyfield, on the St.Lawrence.The Company was started in 1877, with 600 looms and corresponding carding and spinning machinery for the purpose of manufacturing bleached sheet- ings.About sixteen years ago the capacity was increased to 1,300 looms, and the production was turned into dyed goods, the bleached sheetings being dropped.About five years ago the mill underwent a further development, the looms being increased to 2,350 and spindles to 80,000, hydraulic electric power being used for the increased capacity.At present the Company are building a new epinning mill, with a capacity of spindles, for the purpose of spinning fine counts, principally from Egyptian yarn, to make a class of goods hitherto not made In this country.When the new mill is in oper- 50,000 | THE MONTREAL COTTON CO.ation the total number of hands employed will be about 2,000.The production of the mill is all bleached, dyed and finished by the Company, who have large and substantial dye houses and finishing rooms, including beetling and mercerizing.The goods turned out by the mill are varied, consisting of silesias, surahs, satines, pocketings, Italian cloths, super twills, Turkey reds, ducks, costume cloths, window nolland, shoe drills, fast black aniline goods, organdies, lawns, and a vast number of smaller lines.The Company take great interest in the welfare of their employes, the President, Mr.A.F.Gault, having erected a splendid school and endowed it liberally.They have their own club or institute, which is open for membership to the employes of the mill, and also lease a number of acres of ground for Lhe pynTarith quil st vatrttiUt aa i! All the large wholesale houses mentioned under the head of cottons do an egual- ly large business in woollens also.But there are many houses in this city who to woollens, and these can be grouped more fairly under this head.For instance, Finley, Smith & Co.is the name of a young and thriving firm dealing in woollens, tailors\u2019 trimmings, etc, square.The partners are: Messrs.W.C.Finley and J.are graduates from Gault Bros.have seven travellers on the road, in ad- and have a promising future.confine their attention more particularly .dition to fifteen employes in the ware-|est in Canada, and is an important factor house, are well thought of in the trade, in the total of rail and ocean freights paid in Canada\u2014and the remainder consisted of high-grade Englisa goods, which it would not pay to manufacture here because our mills could not sell enough of ja pattern to make it worth their while i to manufacture it.It is the more creditable to our Montreal oilcloth works that this is so, because \u2014unlike the cotton mills\u2014every one of their raw materials, except the jute canvas that forms the base of floor oilcloth, is subject to duty, and thus at the start they are handicapped by having .to pay 25 per cent.more for their raw ma- Among the leading importers of foreign woo'lens and dry goods must be remembered Hermann H.Wolff & Co.sole agents in this country for the great firm of R.V.Warburg & Co.of Hamburg, Berlin, Paris and London, as well as for the Montreal Silk Mills Co.The firm oe- cupy a six-storey and basement ware : house on McGill street, have sixteen tra vellers on the road and forty employes in the warehouse.Mr.Hermann H.Wolff is consul for Denmark, a member of the Board of Trade, a governor of the General Hospital, and vice-president of the Numismatic Society.Fitzgibbon, Schafheitlein & Co., who succeeded the -firm of Thouret, Fitzgib- bon & Co.in March, 1882, occupy a large stone warehouse of five flats on Victoria square.The firm is composed of M.Fitzgibbon and F.S.Schafheitlein, both of whom are now.resident here.The firm deal in imported and domestic woollens, tailors\u2019 trimmings, hosiery and special ties, and have fourteen regular travellers on the road, as well as sixteen employes in the warehouse.THE CORDAGE INDUSTRY.The cordage business of Montreal has labored under a series of disadvantages of late\u2014some the outcome of natural causes and others artificially created.For years past the steady substitution of steamers for sailing vessels and the increasing use of eteel wire rope for hawsers and rigging has terial than their British competitors.The cotton sheetings, drills, and ducks, and the linseed oil they use are all dutiable at 25 per cent., and thus the 30 per cent.down to a modest 5 per cent.margin.The value of this industry to Canada is shown by the fact that the Dominion oileloth mills purchase 90 per cent.of their cotton goods from Canadian mills, and are the largest single consumers of cotton goods in the country.They are also the largest consumers of linseed oil.But this latter staple is principally im- floor oilcloth.The fact that the Dominion Oilcloth Company is able to control the Canadian market speaks volumes for the skill and energy of the management, inasmuch as 'many things contribute to handicap the \u2018Canadian manufacturer.The company was established twenty-six years ago, and has a paid-up capital of $200,000.Its works comprise seven large brick factories, with commodious oil-boiling, engine, store boiler and warehouses.lt employs 140 skilled hands, and manufactures every | grade of table enamelled, shelf, stair and \u2018floor oilcloths.Mr.Andrew Allan, the president, is one of the foremost business men in Montreal, is head of the Allan Line of steamships, president of the Corn- | protection on the finished article is cut wa!l Manufacturing Company and of the i Merchants\u2019 Bank of Canada, the Montreal | Rolling Mills, the Canadian Rubber Company and the Montreal Telegraph Com- \u2018pany.Mr.J.O.Gravel, the vice-presi- dent, is also secretary and treasurer of the Canadian Rubber Company, and a director in a number of leading institutions, while Mr.John Baillie, the manag- \u2018ing director and secretary, who has been ton: \u2014 neither of which are as yet manufactured \u2018almost entirely for the manufacture of of the company\u2019s output it may be men- | tiened that their imports of crude rubber alone during the past year were valued at $735,000.MANUFACTURERS\u2019 AGENTS, The firm of Geo.D.Ross & Co., woollen commission merchants and manufacturerg\u2019 agents, of 648 Craig street, was founded ip 1879.Mr.Geo.D.Ross, the sole part rer, is the representative in this country of W.& J.Knox, Limited, Kilburnie: W.Paton & Co., Limited, of Johnstone.John Dewhurst & Sons, Limited, Skip- M.Iward Co.'s, Limited, Redditch;

Colored Cotton Mills Co, Limited.Canada\u2019s industrial progress has been nowhere more strongly marked than in the growth of the cotton manufactur mg industry, and the enormous concerns which regulate the output in the different lines excite the wonder of many.The Canadian Colored Cotton Mills Co.limited.is a mammoth enterprise, the founders of which have succeeded in es tablishing an industry which gives employment in many parts of the country.An idea of the extent of the operations of the company may be had from the following figures: The company con trols no less than four thousand looms and one hundred and fifty thousand spindles.\u201d It has mills at St.Stephen, N.B,, Cornwall, Ont., (two); Hamilton, Ont, and Merritton, Ont.The mills at these places are directly owned by the company, which, besides, controls the output of the Gibson Cotton Mill, of Marys- ville and the Hamilton Cotton Co., of Hamilton, Ont.The officers of the Canadian Colored Cotton Mills Co.are D.Morrice, president; C.D.Owen, vice- president; I'.D.King, D.Morrice, jr., and W.J.Morrice, directors.The class of goods manufactured by the company 1s already large, the reason being that they have become fashionable in England and the United States and are at the same time much more durable than other fabrics formerly used for the same purposes.The Canadian Colored Cotton Mills Co.is represented by the firm of D.Morrice, Sons & Co., 1875 Notre Dame Street, Montreal, with branch establishment in Toronto.Messrs.Morrice employ a large staff of travellers who visit all portions of the Dominion.They are, in fact the largest commission house in Canada.The business was founded by Mr.David Morrice in 1863.In 1883 Mr.Morrice organized the pre sent partnership, which comprises himself and his sons, Messrs.W.J.Mor: rice and David Morrice, jr.The firm occupies the palatial premises at 1875 Notre Dame St., and represe.we of the largest industrial concerns in the country.The goods handled include cottons, shirtings, bags, sheeting, checks, gingham, ticks, denims, fancy shirtings, medium and coarse tweeds, etoffes, blankets, horse blankets, saddle felt, glove linings, grey and fancy flannels, in all wool and union; ladies\u2019 dress flannels, serges, STORMONT MILL, CORNWALL, ONT.ancludes fancy woven colored cotton goods, such as flannellettes, cottonades, ticks, denims, shirtings, ginghams, lawns, dress goods, ete.Late, this Company has been spending a good deal of capital in the development of the fine trade which had been hitherto in the bands of the lnglish manufacturers who shipped their goods out to Canada, the products including fancy cotton dress goods, fine ginghams and goods of that character.Now, however, the Canadian Colored Cotton Mills Co.has entered upon this line of manufacture, and its goods: have been pronounced fully equal to the best imported article, and the manner in which the native goods have sold shows that the trade appreciates this new departure on the part of a Canadian concern, and is well pleased with the articles turned out.The gingham trade in particular shows every indication of being unusually heavy this season and the demand for woven fabrics yarns, knitted underwear of every description, Cardigan Jackets, mitts and gloves, fine mohair and dress braids, llamas, corset laces, carpet rugs, etc.The business is exclusively with the wholesale trade.Mr.David Morrice, the head ot the firm, has aided greatly in developing the industry and commerce of Montreal.He is connected with many important enterprises, and is also well known as a liberal contributor of aid to worthy public movements.He donated its handsome convocation hall to the Presbyterian College and may be credited with many other generous benefactions.The high reputation of the firm of D.Morrice, Sons & Co.may be attributed as much to the personal character of its members for integrity and honorable dealing as to the energy they have exerted and the skill they have employed in building up the immense business which they now control.Merchants\u2019 Cotton Company.Fourteen hundred operatives, most of them heads of families, receive

of \u2018Cheney, Rice & Company, with small beginnings.The late Mr.Gilman Cheney was appoinited a messenger, running between Montreal and Toronto, in 1852, and the messenger running opposite to him was Mr.G.H.Babbitt, who «died the other day.Mr.B.P.Cheney was president and Mr.Howe was superintendent.In those days the messengers travelled by steamer in summer and by stage coach in winter.When the

present may seem visionary, but which will surely be realized when the harbor improvements are effected.An important position in that trade is occupied by the Bartlett-Frazier Company, of Ontario, Limited, a corporation which carries on a large business as grain and provision brokers throughout Canada.There are three principal branches of the business: tne filling of orders for future delivery

Interests and beauties of Montreal, has been the result of much thought and labor y men skilled in the various branches of the designer\u2019s, the engraver\u2019s and the printer\u2019s art.The illustrations are almost wholly rom photographs by Notman, the Montreal photographer, whose Dominion-wide fame will be strengthened by this further proof of the great scope and beauty of his work.The designing, grouping and drawing of the corner pieces which add so much to the appearance of the work is to be credited to the artistic taste of Mr.S.C.Simonski, of Toronto, who has practically no supérior in Canada in this class of work.The cover is also from a design of Mr.Simonski, and its striking beauty and originality have won the admiration of all who have seen it.The beautiful grouping of the portraits was the work of Mr.D.J.Watson, of Montreal.The half tone engravings reflect the highest credit on the Standard Engraving Co., of by whom they were all executed, the work being uniformly clear and well- defined.\u2018The type-setting was wholly done on the Linotype machines, and the entire edition printed direct from this type.Çanadian Pacific Railway Rotels.To-day one can

Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, Montreal, etc.In 1883, on the death of the senior partner, Mr.Harling succeeded to the business, and at that time took over the management of the steamer Oxenholme, then running regularly in the Canadian trade.In 1891 a branch office was opened in Montreal, as Mr.Harling had made a specialty of Canadian business, and had induced a number of Liverpool steamship owners to send the boats to the St.Lawrence including the following lines\u2014Moss, Ley- land, Johnston, and Elder-Dempster, the latter company having added largely to the fleet, Mr.Harling made an arrangement to! amalgamate his business in Liverpool and Montreal with Messrs.Elder, Dempster & Co., and came to Canada in 1895 as their representative, after working up a large trade, especially to Bristol and London, which ports up to this time had been served by small and Inferior tonnage vessels.Severing his connection with the Elder-Dempster Line in May, 1898, he did not remain idle, but almost immediately afterwards opened negotiations with his old friends, the Ley- land Line, and has now arranged to run a weekly service of their well known first class steamers from Portland, Maine, to Liverpool in winter, and from Montreal in summer, and if his success In establishing the Elder-Dempster lines here can be taken as a criterion, the Leyland Line, under his management, has a successful trade in view.MR.THOMAS B.BROWN is president of the Credit Exchange, Limited, a Canadian organization, incorporated under the Companies \u2018Act of the Dominion, and

building up the Dominion of Canada during the past fifty years of its progressiveness.It is pre-eminently the pioneer line of the Dominion, and one of the earliest rioneers of railway enterprise on the American continent; in fact, in the world generally, for the oldest systems in the world were but in their early infancy when the charter of the Grand Trunk Railway was granted in 1851.That part of its present main line run- wing between Montreal and Toronto was sengers over this system will enjoy the maximum of comfort on fastest trains, with luxurious accommodations.For years \u2018the Grand Trunk has been spoken of throughout the world as having some of the most wonderful engineering achievements that have been known in railway building and that have aver been accomplished.Among these may be mentioned: THE VICTORIA TUBULAR BRIDGE, which spanned the St.Lawrence River at Montreal, and which was inaugurated by the Prince of Wales in person in the year 1861.At the time of the completion of this bridge \u2018it was enumerated in the category of marvelous things, as the eighth wonder of the world.Through increase in traffic and with the onward march of time and improvement, this bridge has pe- come inefficient to meet the demands of the company, and a beautiful new open- OLD VICTORIA T UBULAR BRIDGE.cpened for traffic in 1856, and since that time new lines have been acquired, and branch lines built\u2014the whole being amalgamated into one great system, with a mileage of 4,186 miles, under one management.A glance at the map will give one an idea of the extent of the Grand Trunk.The province of Ontario is literally covered by a net-work of steel, em- tracing the tracks of this great system, and its main line extends from Portland, Me., on the Atlantic coast, through Mont- real\u2014the commercial metropolis of Can- ada\u2014to Toronto, Hamilton, London and Sarnia, in Ontario, thence through that most wonderful engineering feat, the St.Clair tunnel, to Port Huron, and on until it reaches the great western city of Chicago.Branch lines from the main line extend to Quebec, Niagara Falls, Buffalo, N.Y.to the magnificent tourists\u2019 resorts and fishing and shooting grounds of the Highlands of Ontario, including the Mus- koka l.akes District, Lake of Bays District the Magnetewan River and Georgian Bay regions, and to the principal points on Lake Huron and Lake Erie.In the east it can boast of many fine attractions, including the beautiful scenery of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the trains of the Grand Trunk running through the heart of them.Magnificent trains wre vun on all the lines of the Grand Trunk System, with the handsomest coaches that modern ideas have created; also palace sleeping cars betweeen Portland, Boston and Cticago, with palatial dining cars between eastern points and the west.Solid vestibule train service between New York and Chicago daily.All the modern and latest inventions for the comfort and safety of travéllers are embodied in the equipment, and pas- work steel bridge, with double tracks and carriage ways and footwalks, is now nearing completion, built on the same piers as | the old bridge, at

Solicitors, Montreal, Canada.Ÿ + +++0+4+4+0+0 In the preparation of this issue, representatives of the paper have been called on to interview a great many business men and manufacturers.In passing through the various departments of these industries, the unanimity with which the various machines, and also the articles made by the machines, were stamped with the words \u201cPatented\u201d or \u201cPatent applied for,\u201d was noticed.The head of one of the largest of these manufactories was asked whether these various articles and machines were really patented or whether they were stamped in that manner for a special purpose.In reply, the manufacturer stated that these: markings were for the sake of protecting their rights, and that patents had been granted or applied for on each of the ar ticles or machines thus stamped.\u201cAs for the reason for the practice of marking these articles, and the obtaining of patents for them,\u201d said the informant, \u201cthe entire matter can be summed up by the use of one word, and that is \u2018Competition,\u201d as you can readily see by my telling you of one incident which happened some years ago, and which served as a lesson on the value of obtaining patents, a lesson which, having learned, we have ever since put into practice.\u201d \u201cWhen we first began manufacturing electric bells, there was a fair profit to be obtained, but this fact served to place a number of rivals in the field, with the natural result that a cut in the prices was made, until the competition had become so great that the profit was eliminated, it be | ing so small as to leave but an exceedingly small margin to the manufacturer.We had several advantages over our competitors, including the latest improved machinery and skillful workmen, enabl ing us to manufacture the bells at the lowest possible cost and give a better grade of bell for the same amount of money than our competitors could fur nish.This, however, led our competitors to follow our lead, obtain new machinery, ete.,, and, by locating at points where wages and cost of living enabled them, and one manufacturer in particular, to still undersell us in the open market.\u201cAs we did not care to run the busi ness at a loss, we had about decided to discontinue the manufacture of the bell entirely, when one day a working-man walked into the office and asked to see me.1 was engaged at the time, and one of the clerks unsucessfully atteræpt- ed to find out his business.\u201cWhen 1 was informed of the call, 1 asked the man into my private office, and after some general conversation, he told me that he had an improvement in an article which we were manufacturing, and as he thought that he would receive good treatment at our hands, he had come to us before going to anyone else.1 thanked him for his confidence in us, and on enquiring as to what his improvement consisted in, he told me that he had gotten up an electric bell which could be manufactured much cheaper than the bells which were then being manufactured, yet would be as attractive and as serviceable as those in use, stating that he should judge the gain to be about 10 per cent.He showed me a model of his bell, and 1 saw that it could be manufactured at a less cost, but was rather dubious about the amount of gain.We discussed the matter for some time, but to make a long story short, we finally : the + ply for his patent.invention outright |ed time.\u201c\u201cI'ne inventor told me that he had not applied for a patent on the bell, but wanted to do so, and thought that

and, being a shrewd business man, immediately set to work to imitate our | bell and continue the competition.As our patent was not yet granted, we could not stop him manufacturing, but seeing that he was bent on grabbing our trade, we immediately filed our applications for | the improved machinery.\u201cOur patents were granted shortly af- } | ter, .and we then took the usual proceedings, , compelling our competitor to stop his manufacture.As we were now practically controlling the electric bell trade, you can readily see what a \u2014 MR.J.A.MARION.boom our business took, and from that time we can date our prosperity and the name which our firm bears in the community.\u201cThis is only one of a number of instances which have come up, and you can understand why we are believers in the practice of patenting articles and improved machinery, and why we believe in investigating each article brought to us for inspection, with a possible view of manufacturing the invention, and perhaps purchasing it outright.Of course, we are not the only manufacturers who do this, and for this reason, you see, almost all of Lhe machinery used in our shops, as well as the articles we make, marked either \u2018patented\u2019 or \u2018patent applied for.\u201d \u201d As the question of \u201cpatents\u201d appcared to be one of interest, an interview was sought with the manufacturer\u2019s solicilors.Messrs.Marion & Marion, New York Life \u2018building, Montreal, relative to patents generally.Upon relating to Mr.J.A.Marion, the senior member of the firm, the statement of the

invariabiy taken our advice.\u201d Mr.Marion was asked to give a brief | outline of the value of inventions generally, \"and also as to the proper procedure in ob- | taining patent protection, but in reply to this stated that to give any clear information on these points would take up s\u201d much time that it might not prove interesting, but agreed to briefly answer questions.\u201cWhy are inventions valuable ?\u201d asked.\u201cThis is a question which is rather deep and requires an answer of considerable length,\u201d said Mr.Marion.\u201cEvery trading pation and its people are aspiring to obtain a leading position in the commerce ¢ the world, and as this can but result in competition between different nations, one great result must ensue, and that is the nation obtaining the commercial trade must give inducements which the competing nation cannot offer, and the inducements generally are in the nature of a lower selling price.; .\u201cTo enable these inducements to De made, the cost of protection must ba taken into consideration, and as this can -only be done, either by the use of laborsaving machinery or cheap labor, and e latter never pays, the manufacturer mus\u2019 necessarily equip himself with such machinery as will do the work in the pest possible manner and at the least possible cost.You can readily see that the successful nation, therefore, is the one whic uses the modern improved machinery, and this machinery must not be cop! from those in use in other countries, or the nation will occupy a secondary post tion, it being an absolute certainty tnat the nation in the front rank can only lea the way by was devising improvement itself, by the exercise of the inventive faculty o its people.The improvement in\" the arts and manufactures which are the basis of trade is essentially the function of invention = every new invention, small or grea a vances the knowledge of those engaged In the particular trade and enables them to better meet the demands of competition.There is no manufacture of any sort or kind which in its present state 1s not the result entirely of invention; 1n other words, of numberless small and great improvements which have gradually led up to the result as we have it.From the time the raw product is taken from thé earth, even in matters of agriculture, from the time the surroundings are prepared for the natural phenomena of production, till the finished article is made, transported and furnished to the consumer, every step of the process is the result of a foregone invention of some person.Thus to stimulate the inventive faculty of its subjects, and so promote improvement, while a matter of policy with every trading nation, is one fundamentally essential to a leading nation.; ; \u201cThen there arises the question how invention should be best developed, and it is noteworthy to observe that every nation of importance in modern civilization has adopted substantially the same course, namely, that of rewarding the inventor of a novelty or improvement with a monopoly of the advantages derivable from it for a definite term of years.\u201cThese monopolies, or exclusive privileges, are termed patents, and the cir cumstances affecting their grant, duration, ete, are determined by laws and enact ments in various countries, known as pa- BOVRIL = and- within a limit- though the article or machine was not a tent laws.© \u201cIn especial instances sums of money have been offered by governments for so- lation of certain widely important and difficult problems, but in the present day \u2018the reward held out to all inventors of \u2018matters and processes useful to trade is the monopoly of the respective invention for a limited time, so that only the inventor, or such others as he may authorize, may use the invention to his or their profit and advantage.This form of reward is therefore pre-eminently a suitable one, since on the one hand it tends to make the inventor's profit proportional te the value of the invention to the nation, operating, so to speak, automatically in this respect, and on the other induces the inventor to work his invention energetically, so that it is the sooner brought into public use.\u201cIt can be said that the nation, in giving monopolies to inventors, 1s not acting with a view to benefit indviduais, but for the general welfare of the communty.Inventions are protected not for the sake of simpiy rewarding inventors, but for obtaining the benefit of the improvements for the nation.The monopoly of an invention is an inconveniece for the time to the nation itself, and the only reasons for its existence are the ultimate and general benetits to the country which are derived from holding out this monopoly as an inducement to invent and improve.\u201cThe propriety of granting protection for new inventions has always been a matter of much discussion, and although the law has remained practically the same, the prevailing fashions of different times in regarding patents sometimes as a benefit, at other times as the reverse, have left their mark in alternate laxity and strictness in construing the rights given by the patent in the past.It has been said that an inventor has no equitable right to an exclusive property in his invention, since it may occur equally to others.In the United States and Canada, however, the laws are based on the recognition of such equitable right, and with the better reason, since a patentable invention is the practical form of an idea produced by specially directed thought of the individual.Nevertheless, whichever view be correct, the nation cannot afford to recognize an unlimited right.Very brief consideration would show the pass affairs would come to if patents lasted forever.Broadly speaking, no inventor \u2018can retain any exclusive property in an invention unless he keep it secret, or unless, after publishing it, such right is allowed him by the pleasure of the community as expressed in the law.\u201cThe only question then is, should such protection be granted ?It may be taken ay true that if no reward be given there would be no inducement to invent, or perhaps, more properly speaking, to reduce crude ideas into good working practice; thus, though crude ideas might be disclosed, there would be no practically useful inventions brought out.It is the experiments and personal endeavors of the individual that render the crude idea valuable to trade, and protection is clearly necessarv as an inducement to such exertions.The nation thus gains even by the temporary exclusion of public opportunity involved in the grant of the monopoly of an invention.\u201cWe have seen that no more suitable way of rewarding inventors can be devised than the grant to them of an exclusive right in their inventions for a certain length of time.since whatever the lengfh of the term, the grant gives the inventor the opportunity of obtaining whatever value there may be in the invention .luring that term, and no more.The potentiality of remuneration is therefore exaect- lv proportional to the value of the invention, while it rests with the inventor to obtain the whole value or such proportim as h's personal exertions accord him.will be seen that every invention receiver ing the same reward proportional to its vaiue, is justly recompensed on the sane scale; that all patents being of the same length in a country, there can be no favoritism, each inventor obtaining exactly the same conditions.Also, the recon- pense being dependent on the patentee\u2019s exertions in bringing his invention into notice and use, there is every incentive to carry out the invention in practice, eo that it comes into general employment and benefits trade.Broadly, such a system is one of payment by results in its happiest working conditions, and that at meets with the inventors\u2019 approval on ite broad lines, and acts as an incentive to improvement, is shown by the fact that | no voice has ever been raised against 1ts principle from the ranks of inventors.Ite general suitability must, therefore, ve taken to be beyond question.\u201cPatents and trade go hand in hand.Take away the motive of invention, and you destroy an important ally of improvement.It is said that the inventors always will invent, that inventions come when they are needed, and common phrase makes them to be, as it were, automatically evolved out of the necessities TED of business.Inventions do not come merely because they are needed, but because they are needed and will be pad for, and it is only by making them vrop- | erty, and protecting them as property, that they are worth purchase.They are influenced, like other things, by the law .of supply and demand; but the law of supply and demand does not operate where there is mo inducement to supply and no payment accompanies the demand.supply does not respond.Inventions do not come when and merely because they are called for, as by the stroke of the ina- 1 g'cian\u2019s wand.Long years must perhaps be spent in study and costly experiment.A premium was offered for a steam engine by Charles II, but Watt only produced one under George III.A steam plough has been a desideratum for a generatiom, but the demand has not yet produced the supply.\u201d \u201cSuppose, then, a man has an idea of an invention, what would you advise him to do with it ?\u201d \u201cPatent it, by all means, if it can be patented, provided, of course, that it is of some value.I suppose you will next ask me what the procedure is, but I beg to be excused from answering that, as my time is limited.and you can get what in- fermation of that kind you may desire from our \u2018Inventor\u2019s Help,\u201d which, I think, gives a concise idea of the procedure, at least, a sufficient amount of information is given to give the reader a general idea of the work.By the way, you might state, ir you so desire, that we are sending this beok to all who enquire, upon receipt of a stamp to pay postage, so that if any of your readers want any especial information, they should send for the book.\u201d \u201cSupposing, then, an inventor obtains a patent, is the patent necessarily valuable?\u2019 was asked Mr.Marion.\u201cIt does not seem mecessary to say that a patent, apart from an invention, is of no value, but many inventors have the impression that if an invention possesses ratentability, it must mecessarily have pecuniary value.This is probably the greatest mistake made by the majority ot inventors.To be of any value whatever, the invention must cover something for which there is a demand.or for which a demand can be created.It may be an entirely new device, or it may be an improvement upon an existing invention; in any event, it must have a certain degree ot utility.There are two general classes into whigh inventions may be divided.First, those having comparatively few applications and requiring great capital for their promotion, such, for example, as the Bas- semer steel process, the Westinghouse air- brake, or the electric light; and second, those which find use in every family and by almost every person, such as the shoelace hook, the various buttons and buckles, the rubber-tipped pencil, ete.Of those 25-27 St.Peter Capital, $12,500,000.00 - Fully Paid Up Demand must come with purse in hand, or LONDON, ENGLAND 30 Farringdon Street MONTREAL,CANADA two classes the latter has proved to be An inventor who can convince the people of this country that he has an article that is worth more to them than the price asked for it, even if he should only make a profit of a trifle upon each article, the invention would net him a large fortune.\u201cThe first thing to be done, therefors, is to invent something that the mase of people want.It is at this point that the inventor 1s apt to err.He is liable to think that because his invention seems to him practical and desirable, it will appear in the same light to others.\u201cIf an inventor is able to forget himself to such an extent as to look upon his invention with unbiased eyes, it may appear in a new light to him.He must be honest with himself.Does his invention 1ppear really va.uable in his own «stimt- tion?Is he alone in the field of his particular invention, or has he a thousand competitors ?\u201cThe thing for the inventor to do is to make a new departure, leave the old grooves, and strike out for something new.© But how is he to do this?may be asked.Certainly not by foliowing the suggestions of others, particularly those who | furnish lists of \u2018inventions wanted,\u201d for ; the reason that when the fact is known that a certain invention is wanted the most valuable point of the invention is gained.A suggestion upon which the inventor can base his invention is often worth thousands of dollars.It cannot, therefore, be supposed that anyone will furnish such suggestions gratis, or for a mere nominal sum.\u201cA certain class of people who think themselves to be inventors say, \u2018If someone would tell us what is needed we would invent it,\u2019 forgetting that the principal secret of invention is to find out this very thing.The very word \u2018invention\u2019 means the calling into existence of something not before known.\u201cNow, as to the method of invention little can be said.The habit of observation is of the greatest importance to the inventor.By observation he catches ideas which will lead to invention.By the exercise of this faculty the inventor gees wherein, the existing methods and machines are defective, and thus discovers opportunities for new methods and new machines.\u201cIt is seldom that an inventor hits upon an entirely new idea; occasionally, hony- ever, he is able to do this.It is generally by continued investigation and really hard work that an entirely new and valuable invention is made.The valuable inventions or discoveries made by accident are very few.The vulcanization of rubber, the art of lithography and the principle of the turbine are said to have been discovered by accident, but these are rare examples.\u201d - \u201cWell, Mr.Marion, can you give an idea as to the value of patents?\u201d .~ \u201cNaturally the inventor is not so anxious about how much his invention will advance civilization, or buiid up the nation, or administer to the wants and pleasures of mankind generally, as he is about how much it will net him in dollars and cents; but he must not forget chat chance of profit is in proportion to bhe actual usefulness of an invention and its adaptability to some great want felt by everyone.And it matters little whether the inventor intends himself to deal with the public, or to deal with a man, or set of men, who are afterwards to deal with the public, the conditions are the sama.\u201cNow, let the inventor consider himselt a disinterested party, a referee if you please.Let him look upon his own invention as that of another.If he honestly concludes that it would be desirable to himself and others, then he should have great confidence in the merit of his invention, and he should be able to make a fair estimate of \u2018the actual value of it.\u201d \u201cEverything depends upon the mamner in which \u2018the invention is placed before the public.Some men have the faculty of presenting an article in such a way as Street C4000 $0000 0000004 & 2900000000 in all parts of Canada and the United States, he determined to sell his Canadian business and go to London.On arriving in London he at once made arrangements for securing direct shipments of Extracts : of Beef from the Argentine Republic and Australia, these extracts being of better flavor and strength than those produced in any other part of the world, and with the aid of these extracts he was enabled to place a better preparation than Johnston\u2019s Fluid Beef on the English market, and this English production he named \u201cBovril,\u201d which name he decided upon giving it after reading Lord Lytton\u2019s book entitled \u201cThe Coming Race,\u201d in which the ox is known as the \u201cBo\u201d and \u201cVril\u201d as a mighty power, capable of endowing health, strength, longevity, etc, etc, and Bovril, not only in name, but in reality, is the life-giving power of the flesh of the ox.This new preparation very rapidly found great favor in the English mar- 0400000000000 4000000000000 4000000 000000000000 G 1040000000200 0000000 0000+ 0 +0000 .ket, and in the short space of ten years { Bovril Limited had become the largest l and most

700 hands are constantly employed.In an adjoining build- | ing there is the Bovril Cocoa and Choco- | late factory of this company, where the : famous and well-known (in England) Bov- | ril and Kudos brands of Cocoa and Cho- | colate are manufactured.These goods are | almost unknown in Canada at present.Since the Canadian branch has been open- | ed all their time and attention have been ' fully

they are now in a position to place these other preparations on this market.In March, 1897, the London office considered the advisability of extending their business to the American continent, and decided to commence by buying out the old Johnston Fluid Beef Company, thereby taking back the parent business of From present appearances their judgment seems to have been good, as month by month since the Montreal branch was opened the sale of Bovril has gradually but very perceptibly increased, so much so that since they commenced in Montreal two extra buildings have been leased, and they have been running a staff of 125 hands.One very noticeable feature in connection with the Montreal factory is that there is no privacy or secrecy about their business.In their advertisements they

manufactur- |ing it on a small scale, one of the best | methods of arriving at its value is to manufacture a limited quantity of the .r- ticle, and try the experiment of introducing it in a small territory, say in a cify or town, or county, taking great care to select a man who is capable of carrying forward the business in a business-like manner.\u201cOne of the legitimate uses of patents is the protection of an industry or monopoly.The man who has invented a really good thing which is likely to be largely in demand, if he consults his own interests, will manufacture the article himself, and will thus not only make the inventor's profit, but also the manufacturer\u2019s profit, which is quite as important.In this case, if the inventor has not the means wherewith to establish a business on the basis of his patent, he can readily secures a partner, and while he will be obliged to divide the profits with his partner, he will still have the advantage of manufacturing the article with as much profit to himself as he would realize from a royalty, and, besides th's, he would be the proper person to manage the business ot manufacturing, and would therefore be entitled to a salary, which to some extent would offset the proportion of the profits which goes to the partner.\u201d If the above does not enter into a detailed statement as to the intricacies of the patent procedure, the \u201cInventor's Help\u201d has been found, on examination, to give these facts, dry as they may seem, tn a clear-cut and interesting manner, which is not always the case with pamphlats prepared for free distribution.Interested readers should send for a copy of the book.MR.ROBEKT FORSYTH.Almost every useful and beautiful marble known in Europe, Atrica and America, is to-day used in the decoration of large buildings, and The Forsyth Granite and Marble Co., 546 to 570 William Street, Montreal, leads in this line.The company of which Mr.R.Forsyth is president, and Mr.J.Duthie, .secretary-treasurer, was incorporated in 1897, ; to continue the business of Robert Forsyth, established in 1865.The company\u2019s chief work is the exterior decoration of buildings in marble onyx.The Canada Life, New York Life, Royal and Bell Telephone Buildings, Montreal; the Confederation and Canada Life Buildings, Toronto, and the Sun Life Buildings in Ottawa and Hamilton, exhibit illustrations of this firm\u2019s admirable work.For many years Mr.Forsyth has been one of the largest granite producers in Canada.He was the introducer of granolithic pavements, and sidewalks laid by

healthy city, where serious epidemics have of late years been unknown, it seems remarkable what a brilliant aggregation of medical men make their homes in Montreal.The city is a headquarters of specialists, whose services are sought eagerly by DR.T.G.RODDICK, M.P.gufferers from all directions.Montreal was the meeting place in 1897 of the Brit- fish Medical Association, and the president of that great body was a Montrealer, Dr.FT.G.Roddick, M.P.Dr.Roddick is an adopted child of Montreal, having been born of Scottish parentage at Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, on July 3lst 1846.He studied medicine at MoeGill, where he graduated in 1868, and then settled in Montreal.He has since paid several visits to London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna and other European centres, to perfect himself in the surgical art, at the practice of which he has acquired so much renown.He was one of the first Canadian doctors to receive from Lord Lister instruction in his method of dressing wounds antiseptically.He is Professor of Surgery in McGill Medical College, consulting surgeon Royal Victoria Hospital and Montreal Gen- aral Hospital, and -M.P.for St.Antoine Division, besides being prominently identified with many well-known associations and commercial enterprises.The doctor is a genial mem- | ber of society and a universal favorile ; A representative French Canadian physi- clan is Dr.Emmanuel Persillier Lachapelle, president of the Provincial Board of Health, distinguished for the keen interest he has manifested in all movements for the improvement of hygienic conditions in the Province of Quebec.Dr.Lachapelle was born in 1845, at Sault au Recollet, near Montreal.He was educated in the College of Montreal, studied medicine at the School of Medicine and Surgery of Montreal and received the degree of M.D.from Victoria University and from Laval University.He commenced the practice of medicine in 1869 at Montreal; has been proprietor and editor of \u201cL\u2019Union Medicale du Canada,\u2019\u201d\u2019 1876-82; attending phy- gician at the Hotel Dieu Hospital, professor of hygiene at the School of Medicine and Surgery of Montreal; vice-president of the Canadian Medical Association; vice-president of Medico-Chirurgical Society of Montreal; general president of the French-Canadian Na- | tional \u2018Society, Association St.Jean Baptiste; president of the American Public Health Association.He has been president of the Board of Health of the Province of Quebec since it creation in 1887; superintendent of the Notre Dame Hospital since its foundation in 1880 and President of its Medical Board, | Professor of Hygiene at the Medical Faculty of Laval University; president of the College , of Physicians and Surgeons of the Province.of Quebec.Dr.Liachapelle is a Chevalier o?| the Legion of Honor in Canada.He has also held the office of president of the Montrea* Jean Baptiste Society.DR.E.P.LACHAPELLE.Sir William Hingston is another eminent member of the profession in Montreal; but the list is long.The names of Bell, Rottot, Craik, Stewart, Shepherd, Armstrong, Brosseau, Campbell, Mills, Birkett, Gardner, Buller, Lafleur, and many others occur, and it is plainly impossible to give to each his due meed of recognition in an article limited as to space as the present certainly is.THE NOTARIES.The profession of notary, as we have it in the Province of Quebec, is a feature unknown to the other Provinces of the Dominion, as it is derived from the Frenh law which prevails in this Province alone.The difference between a Quebec \u2018\u2018notary\u2019\u201d\u2019 and the officer called \u2018\u2018notary public\u201d in the countries of English law is considerable.While the latter is a mere witness to the signature of parties and is commissioned as such for a certain time without being required to show any special qualification, the Quebec notary is a lawyer who must make the same studies as a barrister.If it is to be acknowledged that a lasting and extensive practice is a token of professional worth, it must be admitted that the notarial firm of Papineau, Morin, Mackay & Fiset is deservedly worthy.Their business traces back to Joseph Papineau, father of the great Canadian statesman, who practised from 1780 to 1841.Mr.D.E.Papineau, the present head of the firm, began practice in 1841, and has successively associated himself with Messrs.C.F.Papineau, F.J.Durand and O.Marin (all three now dead, and whose records are deposited with the firm), his surviving partners being Messrs.Victor Morin, F.8S.Mackay and Arthur Fiset, and these latter stand high in their profession.Mr.Mackay (of Scottish descent as his mame indicates) belongs to a family of notaries, and is a nephew of the Papineaus\u2019.This firm, adding to other qualifications the advantage of a perfect knowledge of both languages, enjoys a large clientele, amongst whom are to be found the Corporation of the City of Montreal, banks, insurance companies, and other large bodies, the estates of wealthy families and business men.Mr.Morin is the treasurer of the Board of Notaries for the Province of Quebec and takes much interest in benefit societies, holding the position of Supreme Vice-Chief Ranger in the Independent Order of Foresters.Mr.Mackay, while also connected with societies and holding the rank of Past High Chief Ranger in the I.O.F., devotes his leisure hours to the militia, and is a major in the 65th battalion.a r PIANOS.Citizens of Montreal need have no trouble in securing a good piano.Every instrument of prominence on the continent is represented ere.One of the representative firms Pratte Piano Company, which started in business in 1876, and in 1889, Mr.L.E.N.Pratte commenced the manufacture of Pianos in Huntingdon, Quebec.The excel- is the S lence of his instruments soon gained fame for the Pratte Piano, and his business increased steadily until, after a score of years had passed, it was found advisable to widen out by forming a joint stock company.Cou- sequently, in 1895, the Pratte Piano Company was organized, with a capital of $200,000.The officers have been the same since that time and are as follows: Hon.A.Desjardins, president; L.E.N.Pratte, managing director; Antonio Pratte, Supt.Mf'g Dept.; G.Normandin, secretary and treasurer.The factory of the company is still at Huntingdon, where 40 hands are employed.At St.Faus- tin, in the Laurentian Mountains, the company\u2019s sawmills are located.The offices and salesrooms occupy a four-storey building on Notre Dame Street, No.1676.The two lower floors are show rooms, the third is devoted to second hand instruments, and the fourth is a repair shop.The company, of course, handles its own excellent instrument, that years of scientific experimenting have made first-class in every respect, but also offer several other makes for sale.The Hazleton, N.Y., and Mason & Hamlin, Boston, are two of their American lines.They are agents Aeolian Pianos, and the wonderful Pianola, which is a piano attachment that enables one without a musical education to play any masterpiece with ease.The company also handles the instruments of the Dominion Piano and Organ Co., Mason & Risch Voca- lion Co., and other musical lines.PATENT SOLICITORS.The firm of Cutter & Sandhal, patent solicitors and expert mechanical engineers is one of the most successful in Canada.With offices in Boston and Washington the latter just opposite the Patent Office, the firm offers excellent inducements to people seeking patents.In fact during the past year the firm placed over 100 applications in the United States and as many in Canada.Ex- pert testimony is given on all inventions and the firm also conducts infringement and interference suits.Apart from this the firm has especially good facilities for selling inventions, and have connections with the strongest capitalists in many of the leading American cities.Mr.S.M.Cutter is himself an inventive genius.About 60 patents of his own are on record.His latest patent in the shoe line is the \u201c\u2018Simplex Slugging Machine,\u201d a machine for driving slugs imito the soles \u2018and heels of shoes.The patent brought $100,000 in the States and a very large sum in Canada.He has also shown his versatility by constructing a new cash register, which, in addition to the ordinary functions of such machines, is also a valuable novel advertising scheme.By an ingenious mechanism each time the register is used two advertisements in the back of the machine each facing the customer are shown.The other member of the firm is Mr.Victor Samdhal.The firm\u2019s offices are at 15 Bleury Street, Montreal.and FURNITURE.With the exception of one or two dealers the furniture business in Montreal is almost entirely local.With the shipping advantages which the city possesses it would be expected that there might be a larger export trade than there is, and that furniture manufacturers would be attracted to the city.But the export trade has so far been left in the hands of one or two progressive firms, and these have pushed it with vigor, while not neglecting the home trade.Prominent among the furniture dealers ot Montreal is the firm of Geo.H.Labbé & Co., whose factory is situated at corner De Lorimier Avenue and Ontario Street.They have their showrooms and warehouse at 208 McGill Street.The character of the work done by this firm is best shown by some of the contracts they have filled l.tely.The Place Viger Hotel, which is already celebrated for its fine furnishing, contains mo furniture not manufactured by this firm.The furnishing of the new wing of the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec, was also one of their contracts, while many of the aotels, steamboats and clubs in eastern and centre Canada had all their furniture manufactured by Labbé & Co.But Geo.H.Labbé & Co.do more than local business.By attention to the quality of their productions they have been able to build up a good trade with England, Scotland and Newfoundland, and even Turkey takes occasional shipments.The factory is b large one, covering 88,000 square feet of ground, and giving employment to over 100 hands.They manufacture all grades of plain and fancy furniture, such as bedroom sets, dining room sets, and parlor sets, hall and library furniture, desks, wardrobes, etc., wood, cane and perforated seat chairs, woven wire spring beds and mattresses.Thelr higher grades possess considerable artistic merit, and are coming more and more into favor.WIRE MANUFACTURING.One of the foremost industrial concerns in Canada is the Dominion Wire Manufacturing Company, whose plant is situated at Lachine.The company was organized in 1880, with ample capital, and at once erected a series of buildings suitable for the purposes of its business.Extensions have been made necessary from time to time by increasing business, and five acres of land are now occupied.the firm are preseutly employed in constructing an altogether new canal, to overcome part of the Galops Rapids.The canal is certainly oue of the deepest canal cuts in Canada.It is crossing a neck of land about two miles in length, and in some places the excavation is sixty-five to seventy feet in depth, Nearer at home, in the vicinity of Montreal, the firm have Tonstructed and completed for the Lachine Rapids Hydraulic & Land Company, Limited, the largest and most important water power in Canada.It confines and controls fully one quarter of the water passing down the St.Lawrence River at Lachine rapids, and what was looked on a few years ago as an impossibility is now proven to be a fact, and light and power generated at the rapids are delivered at Montreal at rates fully 25 per cent.less than ever thought of before.The present members of the firm are aii graduates of MESSRS.FRANCIS HYDE & CO.that of which Montreal boasts.Mr.Phil- With stores and yards on King, Queen and

of guaranteed annual cash bonuses, the great advantage of which is that the reduced premium payable is considerably less\u2019 than charged for coresponding policies to which no bonus benefits accrue, while, should the future earnings of the company be main- \"tained at a high level the policy holder has a propect of his assurance being increased by the addition of profits.The next bonus will be declared for the three years ending Dec.31, 1899.Of the many companies doing busl- ness in Canada to-day its management claim that there is no similar company whose reserve funds are based upon such a stringent valuation footing, whose business in the Dominion is conducted with such economy, and whose bonus-earning powers are more favorable than the British Empire Mutual.MACHINERY MANUFACTURING.The firm of R.Gardner & Son, 40 Nazar- , eth Street, has stood the test of nearly half \u2018a century.In 1850 Mr.Robert Gardner established what is now known as the \u2018most complete machinery works in Can- \u2018ada.Mr.Gardner was a business man of the very first class and his mantle has fallen on worthy shoulders.His son, Lieut.-Col.Gardner, now the sole member of the firm, is well known in business circles, and as an officer commanding he was always popular.R.GARDNER & SON.| The firm turns out an immense quantity of all deseriptions in the nature of machinery, Steam engines, mill work,

fireproof flooring, chemicals, etc.This is the oldest and one of the most reliable auction rooms in Canada.The premises occupied are at 86 and 88 St.Peter Street, and embrace a substantial stone building, four storeys and basement, 40x150 feet in dimensions, splendidly fitted up.Mr.Arthur Barsalou is a native of Montreal, being born here in 1860.He is an energetic business man and a popular

stock exporter, is one of the busiest men in Montreal.He handles all the way from 8,000 to 12,000 head of cattle and about 10,000 horses every year.\"Canadian dealers are always glad to place | their

Newcastle.Mr.Craig commenced his career in this line with the inception of the business of selling Canadian cattle in England.At first it was regarded by the knowing ones as being an innovation which would not last.Handsome profits have, however, been rolled up by the exporters, and the business is now one of the greatest in America.Mr.Craig is a popular member of the Board of Trade, and is looked upon as an expert in all questions of the shipments of horses and cattle.The plant includes the latest improvements in machinery in every department, comprising compound Corliss condensing engines, gas producers, annealing furnaces, wire galvanizing plant, three hundred hands, and the company\u2019s Among the specialties are iron and steel wire for telegraph and telephone purposes, also

city.Mr.Sparrow is recognized as a shrewd and successful business man.The Academy is a handsome theatre, and from its brilliantly lighted entrance, through the auditorium, to the stage and dressing rooms, is as up-to- date as it is possible for a playhouse to be.The Academy\u2019s Wednesday and Saturday matinees are very popular with the public living just outside \u2018the city, and with hundreds of ladies and children of Montreal, who always take the opportunity to enjoy an entertainment when the matinee popular prices are announced.THEATRE FRANCAIS.When the stock company idea struck America in 1895, Mr.W.E.Phillips, who had had but little theatrical experience up to this time, decided to give Montreal a chance to say yes or no to the question of the establishment of a permanent stock company, which should be assisted by the best vaudeville artists.1De first performance given by this company was \u2018The Black Flag.\u2019 This was on Monday, March 21st, 1895.The idea was favorably received from the very outset, and success has waited upon his efforts to provide good, wholesome amusement at popular prices.It is no easy task to select and secure plays suitable to stock work, when it is remembered that the public will have but few repetitions.Not more than four or five repetitions have been given in any of the seasons of 1895-96, \u201996-°97, \u201897-798, and during the present season the plays have been almost entirely new to this city.The first production of the season, \u2018Darkest Russia,\u201d was given its premier presentation outside of that of the original company.Plays cost a large amount of {known as J.Palmer & Son.The head- n.; : ; ( | quarters were removed to 1745 and 1747 Perera a ise le DE a vi tore Dame Street, where four storeys y

heading, refers, of course, to the first period of the life of the above institution, and it is with pleasure that we notice that since the time referred to, namely, 1879, under a new management, that institution has been gradually working up its position to a condition it now may be well proud of.It has accumulated a surplus of over 50 per cent.of its capital, and the confidence which the public rests in it is shown by the amount of deposits in its vault, which is reaching now to nearly four million dollars.Its head office, situated in its splendid building on Place d\u2019Armes, Montreal, and the agencies which are to be found in all the important centres in the Province, as well as in Ottawa and the North-West Territories, are rendering their full share or services to the commercial

long years since its establishment, played an important part im the political and business life of the City of Montreal, of the Province of Quebec, and of Canada as a whole.When under the control of such men as the late Senator Penny and Hon.Peter Mitchell, its influence was especially marked.Two years ago it was purchased by The Herald Publishing Company, and a radical change Inaugurated by the discontinuance of the morning edition and the \u201cdevotion of all the energies of the publishera to the issuing of a first class evening paper.The result has fully justified the change The Herald is growing rapidly in circulation and influence, and its friends are kind enough to say of it that it is the most enterprising and nublic-snirited of Montreal\u2019s papers.Its office of publication is on St.James Street, where the bookkeeping, advertising and subscription departments of the business are located.The editorial and mechanical} departments are in the Craig street building, of which an Illustration is given.The | editorial rooms and press rooms are on the ground floor.The second floor is devoted to the job printing department, which is one of the largest in Canada.On the third floor is the newspaper composing room in which are seven Linotype tyme-casting machines.The fourth floor is devoted to the bindery.The Vice-President and Managing Director of the company Is

who receive together a salary averaging $40,000 a year.The company manufactures for the wholesale trade only.In addition to manufacturing new goods, the firm does an extensive trade in repair work, consisting principally in re-engine turning, springing, engraving, polishing, ete.The keen competition of American makers in this line has necessitated a great deal of perseverance and ability to bring this comparativeiy new firm to its present high position in the commercial world.Messrs.C.H.A.Grant and W.J.Stewart, officers of the company, are well known throughout the country as men of great business capacity.The firm's offices comprise a suite of rooms in the, Street Raïlway Chambers.LEADING CONTRACTORS.WILLIAM DAVIS & SONS.\u2018The firm of Wm.Davis & Sons, is composed of M.P.Davis and W.H.Davis of Ottawa, and J.T.Davis, of Montreal.They are the successors to the business of the late Wm.Davis, of Ottawa, who was the senior member of the firm, and who carried on the business of a contractor in Canada since 1850.In the vicinity of Montreal, they have constructed the greater part of the La- chine Canal, from Cote St.Paul chine, including the locks, bridges, culverts, etc., at Cote St.Paul, the immense new entrance and basin at Lachine, the su3- marine work, masonry, and unwatering of which was one of the most dificult undertak- Ings of its kind at that time.They built the railway bridges for the Canadian Pacl- fic Railway across the Ottawa River at St.Annes and Vaudreuil, some forty different piers, in part of one season, and the magnificent terminal station of the same railway company at Windsor Street, Montreal.They were also contractors for the Tay Canal, which connects the town of Perth with the navigation of the Rideau River and the

Threshing Ecene in Western Canada.Frank Goetz, of South Dakota ; Thomas Keyes and W.H.Lacey, of lowa, who visited the Northwest as delegates during the Autumn of \u201998: report: \u201c That there is such a chance offered to the right American farmer in Western Canada as is no where else found on this Continent.If he does not take advantage of it, he is blind to his own interests.Here (in Canada) the tenant farmer of the Western States, who is now hopelessly ground down between the landlord and the tax-gatherer, can become the owner of a first-class homestead for $10, or he can buy out and out the pick of railway land for less money than he pays yearly per acre in rental in our States.In Polk County, for example, in Iowa taxes on a quarter-sec- tion average $117.The rental runs up to $5 an acre, and where land is rented on shares the owner gets clear half of the return, the lessee furnishing seed, machinery and labour.If he has a failure and cannot pay, no mercy is shown him, he has to move off.This is the widespread condition which has been reached at last in our States, in which half, and in many places two-thirds of our farmers are tenants, at the mercy of cast iron leases and remorseless landlords.To our friends, and we represent several hundreds, we shall simply say upon our return: In Western Canada is land as rich wm natural resources as these States, a well preserved country in which he can find not only the fairest prospects for success, but in all probability the last chance of the American tenant farmer for land ownership and independence.\u201d Immediately North of These United States.Farms and in fact, lying side by side with them for hundreds of miles, expand the great fields of Western Canada, where are grown all kinds of grain, roots and vegetables,
