The Press asserts that the niureleias eotrid have been stopped by the 'declaring of martial law, and argues that this was not done becauSe, the proclanialon would have been enforced impartially by the, military. Talk of civil war is not anconirnon.

The latest map of this series is that of Manitoba. -When the first Home- stead Map of Manitoba wasissued in 1905 that province had approximately 350,000 population. An influx of im- rngration was taking place and home- stead entries were numerous.. The northern exte-nsion to Hudson's Bay and trb,e 60th paral•lea had not been transferred to the province, and in consequence only the smaller area was included in the map. With the is- suance of the seventeenth edition, however, the map, is assuring a tre- mendous importance in. western, af- fairss ,Servirig „purpose of designating, the 'location of land available- for homestee mg, -landa alienated but ,unoccupaed and..which _aro for sale, and lands- homesteaded but, on which patents are not yet is - _sued, there have been added the lace - tion ef Indian reserves, forest re- serves, timber berths, grazing leases, national Parks, land distriesa and lane' agencies, railway lines, to.pdgraphical featuTts,,new surveys and deeeriptiv,e notes of 'the eharacter of. the oountry, beyond the surveyed areas. ,This map aleo Shows the trend of settlement, which is an important feature in. the fPrinulati•on of a policy of road con- sinaretion and the extension of electric transmisibin anti railway linos. Manitoba, according to the 1921 census,' has increased her population to ,613,008 avnich is largely centred in the area included within the original boundaries of the province, although .settlement iss pushing farther north with increasing momentum. Covering a total area of 251,882 square miles, Manitoba has a considerable water area, this latter representing 19,906 square miles. Including the area sur- veyed in 1921 there is now available for entry 5,348,300 acres, 120,800 acres of this having been covered by the survey parties of the Federal Topographical Survey during the past year. Unpattentecr homesteads, or land on which the entry duties have not yet been completed, include 1,296,000 acres, while lands alienated -but un- occupied acbount .for approximately 2,384,840 acres. „ Looking to the future of the prov- ince, a-Shen,developm.ent of a pulp and paper, industry will undoubtedly take place, the Dominion Forest Branch has established or 'proposes to estab- lish a considerable number of forest reserves a.gsgregating a total of 2,386,- 700 acres. Theseare situated in the various portion's of the province, su lim,d not at present required, or un- suitable for agriciilture.

The Democrats indignantly protested that they were not allowed to discuss the -administration's general policy under tire budget, declaring that this rendered the Assembly powerless and reforms a farce. They moved as a protest the reduction of expenses of the Executive Council. This motion was adopted,48 to 47.

When the contracting parties unite in their efforts to inake maniage a success it is seldom a failure.
