'
Refuses to Be 'Subdued By judge teid
• Throws Up Cam
R. A. Bonner, of Winnipeg, the lead:
ing criminal 'lawyer of Western Can-
ada, caused a startling sensation in
legal circles last 'week by .withdraw-
ing from, the prosecution of the fa-
mous "grain oonspiniev case because
of' a sharp reprimand from the sitting
judge, Mr. Justice Phippirs, one of the
members of the recently appointed Ap-
peal Court of Manitoba. Mr. Bonner
'was retained as Crown prosecutor in
the ease and the :preliminary hearing
at the police court during 'the past
winter occupied many weeks, but ac-
cording to the ruling of the magis-
trate, failed to. secure any startling
evidence of a conspiracy,. but, never- •
theless, the case wassent up for trial
before a judge. AS is his habit when
dealing with witnesses in criminal
cases, Mr. LBonnar attempted some-
what to crowd a witness and to use
rather stronger language towards ;him •
than the judge deemed fit and proper.
His lordshipintimated that the wit-
nesses were not brought to the court
'to be insulted. (The witness in ques-
tion had been called by the crown.)
`"I have examined. hundreds Of wit-
nesses,” said Mr. Bonner, "but never
tahemosrmsdta,leitiern one than the One 'on
. .
Would Inflict 'Penalty.
The storm burst. "If things are re-
peated," declared the judge. "1 shall
have to inflict a penalty' you will not,
forget." •
Mr, Bonner suddenly stopped exam-
ining the witness and Sat down. He
• left the court in a few Minutes, tie:nigh
it wassiirly. in the afternoon, and the
ease waaseproceeding. Next morning
when court opened: he was, not pres-
ent, but Attorney -General Campbell
appeared and informed the court that
.Mr. Donner had withdrawn from the:
sate and refused to continue the pre-
secution. ins lordship saidthatin ac-
metdance with the rules of the Lew
Society, Mr. Bonner could be punish-
ed for breaking a contract. Speaking
to the Attorney -General ' the judge
said, "For some time past" have seen
witnesses in the box blackisuarded.
That is the only Word 1 can use to
express it. While:1r was at the bar, and.
as long as I am on the bench I con-
sider it is the duty of the presiding
judge to protect the witness."
The case was enlarged to allow of
time to infittifet new counselforthe
prosecution.

.etudson Bay Route.
The Hudson' Bay route as one of
'the great channels of the world's
'freight traffic is a possibility suggest..
ed by A. P. Low, the director of the
Geological SUrvey of Canada, who has
recently made an expedition through
that region. The success of the western
Canadian wheat fields depends, says
Bradstreet's, on cheap transportation,
preferably by water. The further popu-
lation penetrates into upper Saskat-
chewan and Alberta the longer the
rail hauls and consequently the slow-
er •its development.
All that is waled to open' Hudson
Bay to commercial uses is a line of
rails to carry freight to one of its
porta. At present the Hudson -Bay
Compe.nY and the &within Fur Com-
pany have ships that make its small
trading porta a few tinteil a year. On
the. score of` distances this Hudson
Bey route has much to offer. Regina,
the capital of Saskatchewan and an
important town on the Canadian
Pacific; Railway is just as near

proposed for a Pert, as it is to Fort

Winter Season Closed'.
. The winter port season of 1908-7 was
brought to a close, recently with the
sailing of the 0 P. R. steamer Mont-
real. Owing to exceptional conditions
in the West, the amount of freight
outwards has .not been anything like
the total for last year. - •
Total freight valuation was 519,-
385Z,800; grain handled 3,349,162 bush-
ela ; 117 steamers arriving during the
past season represent a total tonnage
of $456,432, as against 113 steamers
with a tonnage of 389,036 last year,
and 102 steamers with a tentage of
366,737 in 1904-5.
Live stock !shipments this year show
a decrease from those of the season '
of 1905-6. Cattle shipments particular-
ly fell off, Shipments of horses were
about the same, one less having been
sent this year.
The total number or persons landed
here this winter was 30,025, and ' of
these C. 11.. R. steamers carried the
greater majority. During the season
C. P. R. steamers from Liverpool,
'London and Antwerp landed in
John 24,032 paesengers, against 6,-
804 last year. .
*Not more than 2,516 were destined
to the 'United • States. In 1904-5 the
CL P. R. brought to St. John 12,271
persons, so that last season's traffic
Showed an increase of 4,533, while
this year's,eontinued increase amounts
to 8,682.
Most Allan Line passengers' were
landed at Halifax. e.

Canada Produces 18,000,000 Pounds of
This Commodity Every Season.
The season of maple sugar making
has now closed, and the year's her -
vest is pretty well on. 'the market, for
it is is product that passes almost im-
mediately from the producer to the re-
tailer, and . then into the .hands of
the consumer, ;
Canada is the Principal maple Su-
gar.producer of the World, her harvest
being about one-half of •the entire out-
put. In quantity that harvest tanoseets
annuallyto about eighteen million
pounds, possessing a value of $1,800,-

in this industry with an average
'yield of 13,000,000 pounds. Ontkrio is
second, but far behind, with 4,000,-

made in the Maritime Provinces, but

How to Obtain It.
But the point of interest jest, no
to city people io how to obtain puke)
maple sugar and maple syrup? •
. The adulterating of 'these articles is •
rainpant, !Isis shown by the results of
the analyses made last year by the .
officers of. the Department of Inland •
Revenue. In all 26 samples of sugar
were analyzed and only 11 were found
to he:genuine, doubthil and 12 were .
adultereted..eThe record with respect
to Maple syrup was worst. still, Here.
85, samples were exaritined„ 22 were
found te be genuine,pure maple ay- .

. NO doubt Pure syrup and sugar are
to be had in Montreal, probably. the •
best guarantee the purchaser can have
.of genuineness beingthe name and •
address of the maker on the label on
the .can of syrup or on the package
of sugar. But large quantitiesof
adulterated sugar are being sol(1,. The

and yet' each one was so adulterated.

• ' A Wholesome Delicacy.
' Maple sugar ia a luxury enjoyed by
almost everyone, •for perhaps no other.
ferrn of sweet is quite so . pleasant,
and certainly none are more whole -
mime; Good maple sugar is, therefore,
always in "demand, and i alwaysaims
anands ahighprice, but the consumer
objects to paying fifteen dents a pound
for a Mixture of =vie su-
gar, of which a large part is, common
• brown cane sugar worth three or four
cents a pound. The result of all this e
.is to giye the maple sugar trade a
bad name, and in the end it will tell
both on producer and trader,' for the
public will learn to let maple sugar
alone;
• Duty of the Department.
But there is a law to meet these
eases and it is the duty' of the in-
lazeRevenue Department to enforce'
it. in the first ;place means arepro-
vided for 'the protection of the mer-
chant and jobber, the "Adulteration
of Foods. Act" gives a fortn of war-
ranty 'to be signed, aid forwarded
with each shipment of syrup or sugar -
by the producer or manufacturer, who
actually cane and labels the goals, so
that in ease ink officer of the inland
Revenue Department purchases a can
of syrup or a caked sugar for analy-
sis, and finds the Same te be adul-
terated, the merchant Or jobber can
hand *0 this officer the "form' of war-
ranty" signed by the manufacturer,
and he (the merchant) ie thereby re-
leased*froni all responsibility. Should
the stherehant not ,held the .forth a
warranty he is liable to a fine should
the goods be found to be adulterated.
Pure Maple sugar or pure insole
syrup Means the product of the maple
tree, and nothing else, and he Who,
sells a compound calling it pure Ma-
ple is liable to a fine, unless protect-
ed by a warranty AO that the adnIter,

It is permiseible ta ecu a "com-

Now it tvottld be well for 'whole
