WHAT TORONTO COST.
- —
A Few Hundred Dollars Bought Ilt In
the Year 1805.
In the early days, real estate trans-
actions in Canada were sometimes on
a gmerous scale. Settlers were scarce
and land. had no great commercial
value, The country was in the aeon -
patina of the Indians, end as they
ere untrained in the way of has-
her dry, they were, as a rule, quite
willing to sell the land, providing
they were able to retain their rights
to the fisheries in the rivers and
lakes:
The tract, known as the "Toronto
Purshase" embraced all of the terri-
tory from the Etobicoke River to a
point on Lake Ontario somewhere
near Balmy Beach, a distance of be-
tween fourteen and fifteen miles, and
extending north some twenty-eight
miles to the neighborhood of &bona -
here and Aurora, and containing in
ell -250,805 acres.
• The consideration mentioned in the
agreement of 1805 is the nominal
amount of ten shillings, and as liber-
al payment on the basis of the value
of the land was made when the pro-
visional agreement of 1787 was sign-
ed, a recommendation for further
"presents," as requested by the
chief, was made to His Majesty's Gov-
ernmeet by the agents for the crown.
The requieition accompaying this re-
commendation "being for the payment
of lands, provisionally agreed to be
purchased from the Mississauga Na-
tion of Indians in Upper Canada, sit-
uated on the eastern bank of the
River Etobicoke," is interesting.

which speaks f .r itself.:

A story of the retort courteous

Ottawa. Prior to the Christmas re-
cess a vigorous debate' was in Pro-
gress. The gal ry was tvell.fi led by
interested ladie.s. Dr. Neely, ihe

! had been interrupted several times
• by more or less embarassing queries
from the alert and militant Mejor
Carrie. According to the story,- which,
by the way, is vouched for' by oe of
Ottawa's, fair society cleaotees, tire.
Neely, who occupied a seat in the
! gallery, turned to her neighbor anti
inquired: "Who is that man who

had been interrogated, "is* my bus-

• 0,1d a Varied Financial Basiness,
Recent diseoveries of the wonder
of Babyloniau eivilleation, reinforced
by the fruits of earlier explorationa.
Show that "131184325s is business" as
a rule of life is as old as history.
As far be as 2,000 years before
Christ the Babylonians had made
mech progress in commereial aptitude
that special laws had to be framed
to deal with those gentlemen who
tried short-cuts to wealth. The young
man with expectations realized _14
thoze days with less regard to 'the
Sacredness of the person and. the
right to live, borrowed, as his raodern
prototype not infrequently does toe
day, frem the professional moneys
lender.
The Babyloxiian merchant banked
regularly, and issued his brick
"cheques" and bills of exchange, and
the law etepped in, eveii as it does
to -clay, to preserve inviolate the rights
of property. So keen were the busi-
ness instincts of the people that even
the priests were not, above a, deal in
offerings and in real estate. Indeed a
great part of the commerce of Baby-
lonia was concentrated in the tem-
ples.
The vast quantities of metal,
cereals ancl other commodities which
either as gifts to the temples or offer-
ings to the gods poured in daily were
sold by the priests, who did not neg.
lect to get their full ‚margin of profits
Business ability indeed seems to have
been an important qualification for
admission to the priesthood.
Careful accounts of revenue and
expenditure were kept, and these
show that investments in loans and
the purchase of land and other profit-
able dealings were a regular peat of
the fiscal activities <if the priestly
establishments.
Perhaps the most interesting of all
the buried records which have come
to light are the contract tables kept
by afirrn of bankers and moneylend-
ers known as "the sons of Egibi,"
established at Babylon before the
time of Sennacherib, probably ae
early as 1000 B.C, and which existed
for several centuries. These "brick
books," as they have been called, con-
stitute the chief source of our knowl-
edge of life in ancient Babylon.
The firm of Egibi possessed enor-
mous wealth and influence, and have
been designated the "Rothschilds of
the ancient world." They carried on
every sort of financial transaction.
They made loans to the state, as well
as to private persons, and the
finances of the court si'ere entrusted
to them for several generations. They
collected the land taxes tlthes and.
dues for the use of the public roads,
and paid them into the Royal Treas-
ury.
They also undertook what we should
now describe as "agencies" for pri-
vate individuals, and in addition to
their vast money -lending transactions
must also have engaged in what we
now term "banker's" .business, for we
know that documents existed in those
early days corresponding to modern
cheques and bills of exchange.' The
various transactions of the firm were
noted down on clay tablets, which
were stored in great earthenware jars
for safety, and there they remained
until they were aceidentally discov-
ered some few years ago.
All bear the names of the contract-
ing parties and witnesses, and most
of them are dated. The Egibi fitm
were not the only great trading firm
in ancient Babylonia, as during the
excavationcat Niffer there were die -
covered the records of another firm,
known as, Murasu, which rose to a
position of great wealth and import-
rume during the fifth century
The Turnpike Era.
Between the years 1780 and 1840
innumerable plans were made tot the
creation of turnpikes in the United
States. There had been one great sue -
cess, the Lancaster turnpike in Penn-
sylvania, and then' came countless
other projeets. In 1811 New York had
137 chartered roads, 1vith a total
length of 4,500 miles, slid the sum re-
quired to build them amounted to
$7,500,000. An era -of banal diggings
and then of railroad banding followed
• this period, but the carnal promoters
and railrbad amen intd. great difficulty
in advancing their schemes. They
were considered insane when they in-
sisted that the mountains and plains
could be conquered by these means of
transportation.

The exact text- of The New York
Times' despatch is jealously guarded
by copyright and at present the situa-
tion resolves itself into a newspaper
war for which journal will be first
to tell the pews.
None cf the London papees this
morning, with the exception of The
Chronicle, has any definiteness of the
result of the race for the South Pole.
The Times contains the following com--
inent:
"It can only be a few hours now
before we learn the facts. Capt.
Amundsen's ship left Buenos Ayres at
least a month before the Terra Nova
sailed from New Zealand to Capt.
Scott's headquarters. If the ice were
favorable Amundsen would then be
able to start back long before Scott.
On his way back he might well have
called at Scott's headquarters to learn
the news and so ascertain whether
Scott had reached the pole,- only to
find that he had been forestalled by
his English rival.
"The main point at present is that
there is no reason to doubt that
Amudsen might well have learned
what Scott had done and may have
been generous enough to reveal the
good news even before he cabled his
own tale, but it is all conjecture,
and we can only hope' that early in-
formation assure us of the English-
man's victory."
Lieut. Evans,' secretary of the Brit-
ish Antarctic expedition, which Capt.
Scott led, has issued the following
statement:
"No authoritative news whatever
regarding the success or otherwise of
Capt. Scott's exp.editioia has yet reach-
ed here."
The Chronicle says editorially.:
"Our first thoughts (though we may
have wished that Commander Peary's
hope had come true, that 'The world
should whirl between the eneiges of
the same Anglo-Saxon race' will com-
pel:Britons, who have sttiven so hero-
iaally for the prize, that has beent
won, to congratulate heartily that
peat explorer, and his natioe, to'
whom the honor of the discovery of

Canada's Jubilee. -
A most attractive proposal has been
made by Mr. C. R. MeCullough in
an article in The Canadian Courier,
whioh is already being received with
marked approval. The suggestion
comes with particular appropriate-
ness from Mr. McCullough, who was
the organizer of the first Canadian
Club in Canada, the Canadian. Club
of Hadailton. In 1917 the Dominion
of ,Oanada will celebrate its juiblee,
and Mr. McCullough's proposal is
that preparations be made to cele?
brate 1t by the holding of a great
patriotic festival at Ottawa, as well
as holding- a special celebration of
Dominion Day throughout the whole
country. et
Mr. McCullough proposes that the
surviaing father of Canfederation and
all the Parliamentarians who have sat
in the Senate and Commons since
1867, ahould reassemble at the capital,
together with .the surviving- Gover-
nors -General and the most distin-
guished representatives of the various
branches of the country's activities.
And that these should be the nucleus
of a great gathering to reeeive and
welcome Their Majesties King George
and .Queen Mary. Also that repre-
sentative statesmen of Britain • and
Outer ,Britains, be invited as the na-
tion's guests. The Citizen contributes
the suggestion, that he the meantime
the Government of Canada should
erect a fitting memo -jai to Confeder-
ation in the, eapital, and that it
should be uneeiled by His Majesty
on Dominion Day. 1917.

Building In Canada.
, The building permits taken out in
28 cities in Canada during the month
of January amount to $3,971,041, an
increase of $773,719, or 24.2 per cent.
The gain in the east equals 45 per
cent. and 15.4 per gent. in the west.
The largest individual increase is
recorded by Fort William; Toronto is
second, followed, by Victoria, Winni-
peg and Hamilton. The. figures for
Edmonton embrace Strathcona, the

month. In the case of Montreal tb,
figures do not include the municip
ties of Verdun, Maisonneuve, Qutr
mosit or Westmount, although all �!
those are in reality integral parts ads
greater Montreal. ' , anilbliel
It will also be noted that V
ver has begun the year under a 5fle
per cent. handicap, but the month ol4 •
January is never of such importanal
in the matter of building as to waf;'
rant an opinion, favorable or unfavoAl
sble, regarding any of the cities.
The outlook SQ far is excellent for '
remarkably busy year, in which th
east will probably take a larger par
than it has in recent ye,ars.

Pity the Press Agent. •
Theatrical press agents assert that
Toronto newspapers are the hardest'
propositions they encounter in the•
line of getting advance stories for
their houses or attractions.
In this connection they are circu-
lating a story about the dramatic
editor of -The Globe, Mr. E, R. Park-
hurst, and the publicity promoter for
the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Mr.
Edwin Coombe.
• There was a small blaze at the
Royal Alexandra one day, and into
The Globe office rushed Victor Bois,
a member of the staff, with the ex-
clamation that "the Royal Alexandra '
is burning down."
Mr. Parkhurst looked up from his
work with 8. wearied expression on
his face. •
"I don't care," he said. "Eddie
Coombe has one notice in to -day alie, •
ready!'
