Mr. BLATCHFORD:

The Alberta Pacific

Grain Company * was formed through a trust company known as the Alliance Company, and I find according to the record, from the high cost of living investigation of 1919, they had $24,500 in cash.

Mr. BLATCHFORD:

Yes, sir.

Mr. BLATCHFORD:

No, I am not. I

am stating how the trouble came about, and I am answering the hon. member for West Calgary (Mr. Bennett) who was mistaken in his statements.

Mr. BLATCHFORD:

No, I am not asking you to vote for it; use your own judgment.

I am simply laying the cards on the table.

Mr. BLATOHFORD:

Is there any possibility of the Canadian National Railways reconsidering the survey of the Ashmount branch? A delegation from the district has been in the city for the past ten days asking that the branch be built through and out of St. Paul de Metis. St. Paul is one of the oldest settled districts in northern Alberta, and they consider that this branch should be built.
