THURSDAY, Sept. 16, '09 NOTE AND COMMENT Wt are expecting at any moment to heir that Vernier, the Canadian explor- er, Ned leached the North Pole It would ►,ot be a bit aurprieing if aentc chap really did get to the north pose while Peary tied Crook are ecrapl:,g about It. Lord Itltchner, who recently succeed- ed the Duke of Connaught as Inspector ,general of the Mediterranean forces, has been made a field marshal of the brit - Lilt army. • The way Peary doled out his st,..ry about reaching the north pole would indicate that he was bound to stake all the nnotey possible out of It from tno inewspapera. Isn't it funny how some people who -are always blowing what ut!.ent should 'do to boon the town never make u move In that direction theniselvee. \Vhy no: practice what you preach? Your first step will be to trade at home where you get the dimes and pickles. Don't pick up money In your village and then break your neck to get out of town to spend it. Many tines you have gone out of town to save 5c. and in reality the trip Iters cost you one dollar more than if you had stayed home and secured your 40e. worth of merchandise in the villaga in whic:t you get your bread and Nutter. Astatentent of the farm crops of Can- ada at the end of Augu.st was issued by the cea-us and statistics office on Fri- day last. It gives estimates of the pro- duction computed from the reports of a large start of correspondents. and al- though the totals are somewhat tests than those of a month ago for wheat and barley, they still show that Can- ad:a has reaped a large, In fact a re- cord harvest. The wheat crop la put down at 168,886,000 bushels, or 21.73 bushels per acre, and barley at50,t175,- 000 bushels, or 80.53 bushels per acre. The yield of oats, which was not estl- .ntated last month, Is given as 354,919,- 0(1 bushel'', or 89.15 bushels per acre. The rye is 1,708,000 bushels, peas 4,184,000 bushels, beans 1 .a 1 1 ,ono bushels, buckwheat 7,794,000 bushels, mixed grain 19,524,000 bushels, flax 2,181,0u0 bushels, and hay 1(1,246,001) tolls. During the last session of the Datnln tor, House of gonunons at the time of the dtscussion on the Geodetic Survey Major Currie, M. P. for North SAncoe suggested to the government the advl'- ability of establishing an engineering de- pertnent quell as the Royal Eng::n—ei in E:igland. and the En3tno'r Con pa of Washington. Ile po.nted out that •there wast a great deal of waste eff.r:t as tiahig i were organized at present. and a ituit:piic.ttion of engierei Mg work There was, tie sei:d, one engir,ecrisis staff In the Interior Department, another in the Marine and Fisheries, a third 1n the Public Worka, a fourth In the Mil- itia Dep'.rt,nent and still another in the Railway Department. There was no coni mutiny of interest between Riese engin- eering branches of the various depart menta, and the result was duplleatlol of work. confusion, and every chance given to the contractors to carry on grafting operations Major Currie's idea 1e that there should be only one an- gineerh,t; department, free from the Influence of the spending departments, and that tie members should be enilat- .ed efhtcrs wish promotions and lank like the Itoyal Eiigtnccrs. All the en- ggi:leering work of the 3overnnteta. it: matters not what department. should be done by this staff, which would also ,do the work of Inspection. For Instan^e. a pest office Is to bo built by the P.O.

Then the engineers would ac' as the architects for the government, Inspecting all the work and material, and on thelr cer- tificate the money would be paid. in the sane way harbor improvenments would be tarred on. inspe{tion on the dredges would be by members of this corps.
