prohibition in Oubario polled 55.21 per
cent. of the voters on the eleeteral
and got a majority of 81,709 fOr pro-
hibition.. In 1897 the 1)oininion pleb-
iscite,'polled 46.77 per tient. of the Ont-
ario vote ited showed a majority of

The Canadian Express Company re
ports to Chief GameWarden Tinsley
that they transported 2372 deer car-
casses, weighing 256,637 pounds-, as a
result et the campaign in the woods
this fall. This is away above the aater-
age, the weight of lest fall's careasSes-
having been"but 161,312. Mr. Tinsley.
thinks this is good proof that deer are
holding their own in point of numbers

Province,
Very encouraging reports have been
received by the dealers in town regar-
ding the price, of grain in Chicago.
Wheat is likely to go up. The public
are beg,inniug to deal in it and no one
num is able at the present to corner
it. Coen is following closely at about
65c. and is likely to go mueh higher.
Oats are not likely to go much high-
er. The top notch seems to have been
reached in that grain. Those who
sold their wheat earlier id the season
for 69e. are now kicking themselves be-
cause the price is 74c.
The t•tn•al free delivery postal service
has had a phenomenal growth in the
United Ste tes within the last five years.
It began with an appropriation of $10
000; this year the appropriatii su fort he
service is $3,500,000, and $0.•:00,000 is
to be asked for next year. There are
now some 6,000 routes in operation,
and it is predicted that within the next
five years the entire country will be
under the system. •Statistics show
that the 1.1.1 Val:free delivevy has greatly
increased postal business, and it is ex-
pected that in a very few years the
system will be on a paying basis.

The North American Beet Sitgal• Ca%
Limited, with an authorized capital of
$1,000,000, have made final arrange-
ments to erect a factory in Galt with
an" output of about 12,000,000 lbs. of
•sugar per annum. American capital-
• ists are to furnish $600,000 capit-
al, and $400,000 of the stock is to be
subscribed by Galt capitalists. The
factory it is proposed to erect will be
what is known as a 500 ton plant; that
is, it will have a capacity for treat-
ing 500 tons of beets per day of twenty
four hours, and as the season for man-
ufacture generally lasts for 100 days,
some idea can be formed as to the
market that it will provide for beets;
it will open to, the farmer a much more
profitable nse for approximately
4,800 acres of land.

An interesting judgment was deli-
vered recently in the Vancouver court
affecting the right of a -bank to draw
• -upon the accouu t, of one of two part-
ners in a firm to make up for a deficien-
cy in the account of said firm. Rich -
ads and Riley, partnerain a hotel, op-
-ened an account, with the bank Of Brit-
. ish North. America -on July 3,. 1900.
They agreed to sign cheques in their
individual names, and. not in the part-
• nership name. Owing to an error the
, ,pitetners were 41lowed to oyerth•aw
$199.07, and this was not discovered
until the end of the following month.
Richards -opened an ;recount with the
bank in his own name shoetly after-
wards, before the partnership account
• was closed, and when the overdcaft on
--the partnership account was not made
•,good, the bank transferred the sum of
$109.97 f heRichards's private account
claiming they had a right to _do so
under the circumstances. The judge
'decided that the law does not_ give a
banker a lien on the fonds or securities
• of a partaier•ship, for a dept due by a
,xncrnber of the par Li:lei-ship, and vice
versa the banker cannot, elaim a lien
on the funds of an individual membr
.for the debt of the partnership. ,

• RURAL SCH001( READING:
Plans are now bein' formulated by
the Minister of Education for syste-
matic aid in the formation of libraries
for rural public schools. Mr. Harcourt
'will probably ask the Legislature for a
grant of $1,000 or so, with which to
start the work next' year. • The plan
will probably be to offer, say 55 to
each School Board which will under-
take to Spend either $10 or $15 alto-
gether on a colleetion,of books for the
use of the children.' The department
will prepare a list of books frOm which
selection is ti) be made, and which will
be of standard class, suitable for young
people's reading. .In undertaking this
the4department is endeavoring to meet
a want not now supplied, and in doing
sonO new machinery will be required;
There has recently been' returned one
or two of the travelling libraries sent
only at flint 'in order that new'ets may
he forwarded. The pomments of 'those
interested' aS.Well as the finger marks
on the volumes, have ,convinced the
officials of the 'department that for
some it will be advisable' to limit the
libraries to more light reading, and
that standard and 0008111 fiction, with
a sprinkling of biography and general
science forms the most attractive lit-
erary diversion for the men of.thelum-
1)01' and mining camps, to whom night
brings physical exhaustion. A select-
ion of French books, hi the choosing
of which the uni Versity facility has
rendered assistance will also be in -
eluded
