THE NEW CONSERVATIVE WHIP.
Mr- George Perley 11 an American
Brought Up In Canada.
When the Conservative members of

selves together at the opening of
Parliament in November next it will

have been guiding that party for a
quarter of a century have finished
thcirt politieal tasks, :because their
owners have earned superannuation.
As an example of the changes which
tire occurring, the veteran Conserva-
tive Whip, Mr. George Taylor, mem-
her for the County of Leeds .since
1882; will he succeeded by a man who
came into the House twenty' years
later. Mr. George H. Polley. though
a member for Ar,cuteuil, a county
on the north shore of the Ottawa
River. is a resident of Canada's -cap'.
tat city. He once attempted to repro -
sent the County of Russell, but Mr.,
now Senator, W. C. Edwards got
more votes than he did. On the death
of Dr Christie in 1902 he made an-
other attempt in Agenteuil, :but again'
found himself somewhat short of
ballots. In 1904 he had better luck,
and since then )w has conte to be a
force in the House.

STRATHCONA AT NINETY,
' The Grand Old Man of Canada Hoar
Had a Wonderful Career.
Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal,
for years known throughout the Brit-
ish Empire as Canada's Grand Old
Man, though born in Bonnie Scot-
land, celebrated • .the other day the
90th anniversary of his birth.
His career is certainly one of the
most wonderful in the annals of
modern tines. Born at Forres, Scot-.
land, on Aug. 6, 1820, as the son of a
saddler, he made the prediction. as
plain Donald Alexander Smith. to his.
cousin. now Lord Mount Stephen,
then a herd laddie, that as there
were no lairds in Canada to lord it
over man, he would leave for British
North America to tempt fortune and
win a competency;
Accordingly, as a raw youth of 18,.
he set sail for the hest, years before
Horace Greeley was known, and has
done better on this continent than
any man from the east who ever
crossed the western plain.
Arriving at Montreal, he at once
entered the service of the Hudson
Bay Co„ and for years'was immersed
in the solitudes of Labrador. He en-
dured terrible hardships. but finally
became superintendent of that cone -
puny, whose sphere, of influence ex-
tended 3,000 miles,
Afterwards, in company of his
cousin, now Lord Mount Stephen, he
advocated, against strong opposition;
the building of the Canadian Pacific
Railway. He was told that the re-
ceipts ofthe road would not pay for
thex
axle d, s
a e. of the, trains. Be
to
had faith in the proposition, however,
and has lived to see it the greatest
transportation company in the world,
carrying passengers from Great Brit-
ain to Hong Kong over its own lines.

WINTER iN THE NORTH,
Whalers In Hudson Bay Rely Upon
the Eskimos.
A season spent in the far, north has
an attractive sound to many adventur-
nus spirits and explorers or Hudson
Bay whalers have no trouble in get-
ting a erew. There is a certain amount
of romance iii the frozen north which
will never die out. A vessel staying
a year at Hudson Bay goes into win-
ter quarters in September and is not
released until the fallowing July, thus
leaving two months in which to cruise
for whiles. Vie ten months in ivinter
are well occupied, At the outset there
is fresh water to' get, the vessel has
to be banked with snow and ice to
keep the crew warm during the times
when the mercury goes far down the
tube• and then there is the work of
lielitering the vessel several times dur-
ing the winter. I.ightering does not

to the aecuittulation of ice and snow
on the vessel she gradually settles un-
til it become necessary to cut the ice
from her and relieve the pressure or
else she would be sunk, Cutting ice
six feet thick and sometimes over ie
no easy job.
In the spring before the ice breaks
the crew is engaged in floe whaling
and this is the hardest kind of work,
because the whale boats • have to be
dragged over the ice sometimes a con.
sicderable distance to clear water. The
boats have crude runners on them and
the work is made lighter with dogs
and sometfrnee sails when the wind is
favorable, but the ice is not always
frozen n
e evenly, eel
and hummocks h mocks ane
1
ridges have to be surmounted, making
the approach. to the districts for floe
whaling a difficult one,
The Hudson Bay natives are very
friendly with the whalemen and many
of them, from the yearly visits of the
Scotch and American crews, have
learned to speck pretty fair English.

The Real Winners of Lewsuits.f
Peter 'McKenzie, the last cif the old
Hudson Bay factors, had. always a
great hatred and fear of la.wsu4ts,
dined with Mr. McKenzie in
Montreal not lone ago," said a min-
im,*. engineer of Ncw York;. "and :he
reiterated his dread of lawsuits, d'riv
hie home his point witIi 11 story.
"He said that a certain Smithwon
a ease in the lower courts, the high-
er courts, and the Supreme Court.
Smith was .thus finally . awarded,
after seven years of litigation, $500,-

.Trade. With U. S. Grows.
Canada's trade with the 'United
States continues to grow in greater
proportion than Canada's trade with
Great Britain, in spite of the ;prefer-
ential tariff, yet Great Britain is a
better purchaser .of Canadian pro-
dncts thein is the United States,
• Trade statistics are now complete
for the first two months of the pres-
ent fiscal year, and they throw a cur-
ious, light oil. the policy of Canadian
'enporters..—Thus, While •Great Bri-
tain bought 815,670,681 of Canadian'
t;•aods, the United Kingdom sold al-
most tin equal amount to Canada,
V.5,784,050. The united States bought
from. Canada • $14.104,081 worth, or
more than•a million less than Britain
did,while Canada purchased from the
Unitech t'4.ates $44,372,681' worth, • or
oee•th,tn $29,000,000 in exeees.of pur-
chases ha:ses from the United Kingdom,
The purchases from the- United States
are• $13,000,000 more than during the
sante period last year.
Canada's Railway Mileage,
The total mileage of railways in
Canada is approximately. 26,000 utiles,
or about one-seventh that of the Unit-
ed States.
The Dominion of Canada has the
tartest railway mileage of any countey
in the world in proportion to popula-
tion.

MEDICINE HAT'3
Discovery of Wells in the Town of
Constant Ges-Light-
The discovery of natural gas in
1Vtedieine Hat is an interesting story,
Says W. Lacey Amy in the August
Wide World Magazine. As far bank
as 1883 the Canadian Pacific Railway,
while boring for wiatee at Carlstadt. n
point about forty miles west of the
city. earne across the first gas. but no
practical use was made of the small
supply met with, other than to Fiala
and heat the section house in the
vicinity. Early in 1691 Sir William
Van Horne, then president of the rail-
way, lent to the city of Medicine Hat
a drilling outfit for the purpose et as-
certaining whether there was coal
within reach. When the drill had
reached 060. feet gas was struck, but
the moisture in it necessitated more
trouble fit the matter •of interception
tanks than 'was profitable. In 1905,,
however, the city determined to dig
deeper in the hope of securing a larg-
er ttr•ier ficw.
A bylaw was passed to raise the ne-
cessary money. Medicine Hat was
then only a town of a couple of thou-
sand people. and the expenditure wit+
a terrible drain Upon its finances. Aa
the well sank deeper and deeper the
fund, grew smaller and smaller, The
.citizens and members of the council
gathered by the little pipe day by day
and watched, with eagerness and fore-
boding, the drill drop—drop—drop.
with the pipe. .But nothing came ex-
cept a few little. puffs of gas that pro-
mised nothing. Lower the drill sank;
fewer grew the dollars.s. Finally Y
the
money was 111- o
ne}and thetown
was face to face with bankruptey
of a
serious tax rate. The councillors went
home sadly, amid the mutterings of
the peopie..
That night a special session of the
city officiate was convened, The
treasurer .held up an empty purse, and
they knew w of another cent
ne well that of t n , n k e t n
could be drawn from. the people. Into
the- earth

nds-
of dollars that would • return 'nothing,
and the citizens threw the blame for
the non-success of the venture on the
official;. The well -digger. begged for a •
few more feet. The mayor considered.
Then, with the inspiration of a pro-
phet, he turned his back on the legal •
teehtliealities rind' ordered the well-
horiug to proeeede Already it • was
dawrl a thounnd. feet; it was a ter-
rible rick to• spend more itioney and
Riegel toboot, but he took the risk.
'Next morning the mimed° happened,.
To this (lay they tell of it. At nine

•the sight ef, the- mayor,_ coatess and

striving'to overtake a workman ie bet •
