The annual meeting of the Liberal Aim/elation for the East Riding of Huron (Dominion and Provincial) will be had on Tuesday, May 26th, in the Town Hall, Brussel'', commencing at 1.30 o'olook, In addition to election of officers and re. calving reports, addressee aro expected aDoua d M.

Foto reiue have visited the Northwest Territories and the prospects for a great prop next harvest are most encouraging.

Tno day ie not far distant when Oan• adieus railways will bave to pay a fair share of taxation. For a good many years they have enjoyed special favors sod privileges and it ie about time the taxpayers had their innings. Equality le demanded and will have to be accorded. IN some localities the Grand Truck railway authorities are enforoing the law regarding straying cattle. The Statute places the prohibitory limit a half mile from the railway lines. If this provision is to be oarried out stock running at large will goon be a thing of the past. Loan MINTo rosy be anooeeded by Lord Northoote, who is a eon of Sir Stafford Northoote, as Governor-General of tbie Dominion. Lady Northoote is a daugh- ter of Lord &Louot•Stephen.

TEE Gamey—Stratton enquiry le stili on the boards but nothing very new ar of mach importance elicited lately. Mr. Gamey has been asked by the Judges to hand over in Court the $1200 he says he received from Frank Sullivan. Argument was announced to commence on Thurs- day morning of this week so that the end is in sight. What the pnblio really want to know ie where the money came from, really and truly, withont any gneeeing. A 'noteworthy object lesson has been eet by the Dominion Government in going outside of their party in the ap• poiutment of Wallace Nesbitt ae a Sop. reme Court Judge, ae saoeeeeor to Hon. David Milia. This is as it should be ae all the good men do not live on one aide of the political fence and we hope to see more of it as the reflex indoenoe would tend to do away with a large share of partisanship and crookedness in politioe, Paeatnm Roes' statement that hie Gov- ernment would not submit a bill this eeeeion in connection with the advanced legislation asked for along Temperance lines is not meeting with universal ac- cord by any means and the eathusiaetio Prohibition workers are determined to press f.tr aatioh before the House pro- rogues. A proposed bill is said to have been nee that pointe to drastic measures but whioh will still permit the bar. Tease Was an appeal in the Sault Ste. Marie election oats by Mr. Miedampbell, the unseated member, but the five judges found that the decision of the trial jud• gee viz. "tb tt there had been each nor. ruption as should over -ride any major- ity," was borne out and consequently the appeal was not eoeteined. This leaves three vaoanciee in Provincial Beate at this time, two befog caused by death. The Government has 4 of a majority now. A eomewhet novel plan to reach a large number of people was adopted last Sabbath evening in the Protectant ohnroh• se in Montreal viz, inviting the lead- ing physicians of the pity to deliver ad• dreeeee on "The prevention and cure of Tuberculosis". Tbie plan evolved nuder the direction of the Leagnefor the sup preeeion of "the white man'e plague". It was stated that Montreal lone annual. ly 1000 oftizens by this dreadful dieesee and it le net mach wonder that ;earnest measures are being adopted to stay the spread of the elayer. The Province of Ontario has taken an active interest along the line of prevention and good remits have been attained by the Gravenbnret eauitarium. Open air treatment and plenty of sunlight were emphasized ail of ineetimable importanoe to a patient, Tao proposed change in the preeent Co.

There appears to be a delightful 00001. mity iu the Howse over the Bill outside of a few aoidy drives by the Opposition, Road Making Old and New. By head Cmnarleeiu tier, .1. W. tampbetl. Among the earliest roade of whioh we have definite information were those built by the Romans, chiefly ae military highways, feeding East and Weet to the remote Provinces, from whioh arose the proverb, "All roads lead to Rome." So substantially were theee roade built, of layer upon later of atone and oonorste, three and four feet in bhiakneee, that many of them still remain, and common• ly :supposed by the peasantry of Spain and others of the countries of Southern Europe, to be of supernatant origin, These roade were built at an enormone waste of money and labor, and while of the greatest durability they lank the first essential of modern oonetruotion—a pro perly balanced union of economy and efficiency. For several oenturiee after the downfall of Rome, road making became a forgotten art. Iu France during the eighteeath century, under the great engineer Treea• gust, road oonetruotion4 was revived, but on very different prinaiplee from those followed by the Romana. The type of road built by the French engineer, was that introduced into England by Telford, end consisted of a foundation of large stone laid on edge and carefully shaped, upon which was plaoed a 0001103 of finer broken atone. Early in the nineteenth oentary, Mo Adam advocated and constructed in Eng. land a still more economical design, in whioh the foundation of large stone was omitted, but greater care was given to draining the roadbed. MoAdam'e system ie that most oommonly followed today with a number of important alterations 00080gaent upon the introdaotion of road. making manbinary. In the time of Mc- Adam, the beet method attainable, was to break atone by hand, whioh was then plaoed loose on the roadway sod lett for traffic to consolidate. The promise 'of' ooneolidatiou was slow, during wbioh a considerable amount of the atone wee foroed into and mixed with the earth sub- soil, lessening the strength and durability of the road. Upon preeent methods by means of a masher, atone ie broken math more obesely than it could be done by hand. Stone duet and chips, (eoreeninge), are °rested in the prooeee of crushing, whioh are used to fill the voids, inetead of wait• ing for this to be produoed by Baffle, or allowing the clay or loam from beneath to be forded up among the etonee. With a roller the road metal ie made thorough• ly compact, forming a strong, waterproof oovering over a firm subsoil. The result is that more perfect work le done in a few days and at lees cost than the methods of McAdam and Telford would a000m• plieh in Havered months. Tbe main features of preeent day roadmaking, whioh are of reoent iutrodnotion are : (a) The nee of grading machines for forming the earth foundation and open drains. (b) The thorough drainage of the earth subsoil. • (c) The ase of a crusher to prepare the, road metal. (d) The ecteening of broken atone so as to grade it for application to the roade in layers according to size. (e) The nee of atone duet and fine ohmpe (eoreeninge) ae a binder. (f) The nee of a roller to-ooneolidate both the earth foundation end the ear. face oovering of broken atone. A road surface of gravel or broken atone. performs various eerviaee. The ordinary dirt road of slay or loam alone ruts readily, softens quickly after the rain, and has little supporting power. A well. oompaoted layer of gravel or broken atone over it dietributee'the oonoentrated wheel load over a greater dress of subsoil ; it does not rut readily, and affords good surface drainage ; it gives a smooth, bard wearing surface ; water does not eaoily penetrate it eo as to soften and reduce the supporting power of the subsoil. The depth of gravel or stone to be need must vary with the quality of the mater. Tal, the amount and nature of traffic on the road apd the nature of the subsoil. A dry, compact and atony eabooil neede lees metal than does a plastic May, dif• flcalt of drainage. A definite rule cannot be laid down to accurately meet all con• ditione, but from cis to twelve inches of well consolidated material will afford a euffioienb orange to aeoommodate most oiroumetanoee.
