"The  controversy  over tho   location of a station on the line of the (irai-id   Trunk, Pacific   Railway,   at Fort George, which has lasted  five years,  has  narrowed   down    to    a (juestion  as  to  whether  the board of railway commissioners for    the Dominion  of Canada  is  sufficiently powerful to enforce an order against the  wishes, of  a   railway  corpora tion,"   said   Mr.    George    J. . 11am mond,   of   the   Natural   Resources Security Company, to a  World   re porter today, referring to a^i Ottawa despatch   "in"   Thursday     night'r World,  indicating still  further   de Jay over the location of the station site at Port George.
"Friction developed with the rail -way-company from the start," con tinued Mr, Haniinond, owing to the fact that a contest for obtaining the land had been fought out in the land department of the provincial government in 7!>08.
"In 1D11 the railway company" tentatively, accepted a bonus of §200,000 from the Securities Company to locate the station at a cer-tiynj-poirt't, and then demanded .$35,-000 in addition. Negotiations finally veuxed, and an application was made in 1911 to the railway commissioners .asking for an order to locate a station at Fort George.
"Judge Mabee declined to make an order for the location of the station until the railway line was completed to Port George, but he stated that if the railway company built the line according' to the plans ¦ which were filed with, the commission, they must locate a station within certain limits, and that when the line reached Fort George, if an agreement could,not be" made as to the exact location/ the- case should he. reopened and all. the .evidence then in could be used forHhe pro cess hearing.
"It was  fully  understood  at the conclusion   of   this     hearing     that when the line of the G. T. P. raH^ -yga^i'ertchieii-.Eoit -u'eorge a~fuHner hearing   \vbuld> be   held.

;hese   distinguished   privates   is    Sir] Herbert Raphael,, who, although a mil-ionaire,  is proud  of his  rank   as   a| private.   Sir Herbert is the son of the ! late H. L. Raphael, chief partner in' the famous banking: house of R.. Raph-) ael & Sons, and inherited a large for-1 tune, which he has since considerably increaged.    He; graduated fiom  Carn-bridge, and far some years practiced law,* but abandoned that profession to devote his entire time to public work. Since 1900 he has been a Liberal member of the house of commons. Another eminent private is the Earl of Craw-! ford, who is Scotland's premier earl,; and the holder of a title which dates | from the  twelfth century.    The  first* of his  ancestors to be "ennobled   was ' Baron   Lindsay  of  Crawford,  created! in. 1143.    The title-of Earl of Craw-1 ford was conferred upon the family in 1398; that of Baron Lindsay of I3al-carres in 1633; Earl of Belcarres and! Lord Lindsay and Balniel in 1651, and ' Baron Wigan, of the United Kingdom,' m-1826.    Besides being premier earl | of Scotland, Lord  Crawford is recoK- !. nized as the head of the Scotch fam-ily, of Lindsay, which has rnany re pie-^ sentatives    in    this-    country.   "The j twenty-sixth Ear] of. Crawford is rec- j ognized   as - the  head  of-the   Scotch! family of Lindsay, which has   many1 representatives in  this country.    The ' twenty-sixth Earl of Cravvford, noted \ gs an astronomer, was born in Prance I sixty-eig-ht years ago, July 28, 1847. i The   present  earl  owns  about  14,500 acres, his ancestral -seats being Bal-carres, Fife, and Ha'igh Hall in Wigan. < Quite a number of other men of title, I wealth and influence have enlisted as I privates in thelJiitish army.
