The French-Canadian element in the
Borden Cabinet is represented by three
ministers, who, in themselves, stand
for the large and powerful districts of
the province of Quebec. The district
of the City of Montreal. and its sur-
rounding environments sent to Parlia-
ment inthe famous year 3911 Mr.
Louis Coderre, who, in a little over a
year afterwards, became Minister of
the Crown as Secretary of State for
the Dominion, The rise to ministerial
prestige on the part of the young
French-Canadian was rapid and well -
merited. It was gained, not by in-
fluence of wealth, nor by the backing
of any powerful political clique, but by
sheer industry, strong personality and
keen political acumen.
The House of Commons, with its
moods and its fancies, is a difficult mis-
tress for the average new member to
woo, When the mantle of ministerial
responsibility is added to the lack of
experience in the House, it takes a man
of more than ordinary ability to steer
a safe passage through the shoals and
shallows of Opposition attack. There
are certain members on the Opposition
side ever watchful and wary for an op-
portunity to take a sudden advantage
of a Government member, and still
more so of a Minister of the Crown.
It is a tribute to the ability of Hon.
Louis Coderre that, though in office
over a year and a half, he has yet to
find himself caught.by any of the sud-
den squalls or devious wiles that ate
so apt to entrap a member.

charter is one of the very important
offices of this department. The num-
ber of these run into many hundreds
each year, all of which must be closely
inspected and all right interests pro-
tected.
WAS WELL LIKED.
Mr. Coderre, when an ordinary mem-
ber of Parliament, was one of the best -
liked men in the House, and his rise to
ministerial power has served but to in.
crease the affection with which he is
regarded not only on the Government
side of •the House, but by the members
of the Opposition as well. Political
friend and political foe alike know
that the ear of the Secretary of State
is ever open to give a sympathic hear-
ing to the numerous demands which
froth time to time are made in the
workings of the department. In fact,
Mr. Coderre is one of the few men in
the House who has a real nicktaane,
which more than a volume of biography
indicates the character of the man,
and the title of "l'Ami Louie" (Friend
Lout Coderre is an elo-
quentLouie) given Mr,

ARDUOUS WORK.
During the year 1912.3 the number
of charters issued under the Depart-
ment of the Secretary of State was 835,
as compared with 058 in the year prev-
ious, and the importance of the work
done can be recognized when it is
stated that the capitalization of these
companies totalled over 025 million
doliat e.
The work of the Secretary of State
has also to do with the naturalization
of all aliens, and during the year 1912
there was a total of 18,242 aliens to
whom certificates of naturalization ad-
tnitting them to British nationality
were granted.
The administration of elections un-
der the Canada Temperance Act fells
under Mr. Coderre's charge, and the
sudden revival which has been noticed
in the application of thio Act to wiping
out bare in whole countries, particul-
arly in Ontario, is adding to the im-
portance of the office. It was noticed
as significant in the estimates of this
year that an appropriation Ave times
as large as in previous years appeared
for carrying out the Act. The name
of Hon. Mr. Coderre, who has charge
of this work, is pretty sure to become
even more familiar in Ontario than it
is today.
ever since he took office, and was
shown afresh but a day or so ago,
when he presented for competition
among the miners of Canada a hand-
some shield for proficiency in first aid
work as carried on by the St. John
Ambulance Association. Since he took
office there has been seen stimulated a
new interest in the great unexplored
underground resources of the Domin-
ion, and last year Mr. Coderre accom-
panied right across the continent the
International Geological Congress,
which comprised the most noted scien-
tists of the world In this field of in-
vestigation. It is worthy of note that
since this visit foreign 'capital has peen
attracted in a greater degree to the
development of Canadian mines than
ever before. and the influence' which
have been spread abroad in this direc-
tion should be lasting.
CUSTODY OF PAPERS.
The work of the Secretary of State
also includes the custody of all state
papers for the whole Dominion, and
also supervision of all boards of trade,
trades unions, loan companies, licenses
granted to British and foreign com-
panies and commissions issued to pub-
lic ofiieere.
It can thus easily be seen that the
regulation of such a department re-
quires a man at the helm who has keen
aptithde for a multitude of details and
an excellent legal training. Mr. Co-
derre has both these qualifications.
On February 10, 1913, Hon. Mr. Co-
derre was appointed also a Minister of
Mines for the Dominion, a branch
which had hitherto been under the In-
land Revenue Department, For a
great and growing industry, it is evi-
dent that much legislation in the near
future will have to deal with the regu.
lation of mines. Mr, Coderre has held
the portfolio for about one year, and
In that time he has drawn up and is

Drainage trill reclaim it and make it
one of the best fields on the farm.
Drainage does four things. First it
removes the surplus water and mlskes
it possible to cultivate and seed about
three weeks earlier in the spring than
on the same land whom undrained.
Secondly it makes the land from ten
to fifteen degrees warmer than if not
drained, and this warmth germinates
the eeed properly and gives a good
stand of grain. Thirdly, it lets plenty
of air down to the roots of the planta,
which is necessary for satisfactory
growth. Fourthly, it makes the soil
more porous, and this in turn causes
the soil to store up more water for the
use of the crops in the time of growth.
Frequently the increase of crop in
one year pays for the drainage. and
eeldom or never does it take longer
than three years, so that drainage
pays from 33 per cent to 100 per cent
per annum on the money invested.

tario Agricultural College will assist
