Nom like taking time by the "fab- look" ie evidently the motto of the St. Louie people as they have already leaned a pamphlet of the World's. Fair to be held in that city in 1908. They nay it will be a world beater, Ir le stated that in future instead of. importing a oommandantfor our militia that Qanadien offiaar will be given the position. Thie ie right, we believe, and the work will, no doubt, be more satie• faaterily performed and at the same time will afford an opportunity for promotion among our militia not now possible, Timm le a decrease of 91,188,170 in registered mortgagee in 1900 ae oompared with 1899, the authority being the report of the Inspector of Registry oftioes, This le not a bad showing ae the wiping oat of over a million dollars meet cer- tainly afford relief to many who were carrying financial bnrdene.

This will probab- oauee a revival of a trade practically dead for several years and although along new linea will no doubt prove of great impor. tanoe to Nova Scotia.

Refer is tl RailwAy Travel. A World reporter met a prominent /mitten man lana week who apende a great deal of hie time between Toronto and Itloutreel, Said he : "A revolution hag been effeoted ae between Toronto and Montreal by the Grand Trunk Railway in oenneotion With the feet expreee, the International Limited, batll •wage,' between the two °ales." "How ie that 7" inquired The World, "In this way, that there are now tote of buaineee men who epeod a day, or a Portion of a day, in one city, end the next day, or a portion of ft, in the other, and who epend only one night on the train. For instance, I am in Montreal, Bay this Monday night, and take the 10.30 train tor Toronto, arriving here at 7.15 e. m. I go to a hotel and have breakfast by eight, and from 8 to 1115 a. m, I have a business eonfereuoe with two or three men in Toronto I have e9• peolaily oome to Bee, and then take the International Limited at 11,30 and pull into Bonaventnre station; Montreal, at 7 o'olook sharp that evening. I can sleep that night in .Montreal in my own home, if I bave my home there, or I can return to Toronto and be here next morning. Or, going the other way, I can leave Toronto at night and be in Montreal in the *nor Mug, have soma time for bueineee and be beck in Toronto at 4,15 in the afternoon, although this latter train is not so good for the purpose as the other one. What .the whole thing goes to show is that a man pan now do business in Montreal or in Toronto with a day and a night trip instead .of a one day and two nights trip. The new way is cheaper, it saves time end it gives a man an extra night in his own bed," Continuing the same gentleman said : "It fa a remarkable feat that railways like the Grank Trnnk 00.0 now run from 50 to 00 miles an hour without trouble. Fast trains early in the morning or late at night will knock a large amount of night travel between cities separated by three or four hundred miles into a cooked bat, and people will make the trip in five or six hours, either late at night or early in the morning, or one journey by night and one by day, and in that way save at least one sleeping oar fare. For instance, journeys between New York and Chicago will, .for some time at least, still involve a night on the train, and eo will between Toronto and Halifax, but more and more there is a large elan of travellers who want to go from Toronto to Montreal, Montreal to New York, or Toronto to New York, nr Toronto to Ohioago without taking a sleeper, and the new alaee of 50.mile an hone trains will enable them to do this. The Grand Trunk's Inter• national Limited is the first of this class of train to appear in Canada, and it has met with eplendid recognition from the travelling publio."—Toronto World, Jane 20, 1901. Fax proposed radial electric railway for•Hnron Co. is meeting with favorable comment in its initial stage. Right of way has been granted already by a few mnnioipalitiee that have been seen and mi;etinge will be held with other Coanoils interested in the near future. In grant- ing franchise Dare should be taken eo that the rights and interests of the general public will be guarded. There fs little doubt but that the next five yeare will Bee wonderful strides made in the appli- cation of electricity to many nese and the belt line road for Huron will be very like- ly one of them. 608,n44 .is the inoreaee in population for the Dominion of Canada by the last oeneue for the past ten years. Quebec province ahowe the largest gain, Mani- toba takes second place and British Col- umbia is a good third, the respective figures being 132,439, 93,858 and 91,827. We expected Ontario would have done better brit if the figures are correct we have only inoreaeed by 68,657. In the East New Brnnewiok and Nova Scotia are about "whioh and tether" at 9,880 and 8,720, while poor Prince Edward, bearing the new eovereign'a name, hae baokelidden to the tune of nearly 6,000. 'while the East hae suffered by the W extern migration the Northwest Ter- 7ftori�e glory in the fact that the deoade hae added 78,201 to their number, eo that to a large extent it is only a change of residence ander the Miele flag. Canada is not growing by any boom process but the probabilities are that the nearly 506 thoueande are permanently here rather than a great increase followed by a great- er exodus which has been the bietoxy of some countries. 4 Tanen appears to be a great unanimity on the part of those making statements to Prof. McLean in various eeotione of the country se to the neoeeeity of a re. adjuetment,of freight rates on the rail- ways. The indications point to the al- most certainty of a oommiaeion being ap. pointed by the Dominion Parliament whose baeilisers it will be to go thoroughly iato the whole question and giving a careful hearing to all parties interested. No doubt the respective railways have their aide of the queotion and the Com- mission would 'give the opportunity of presenting their gage. 'Thie freight' rate question has been a bone of contention for many years and will never right it- self, in all probability, hence the neOee city of intervention on the part of diein- tereetod pereone. Thera are other mat- ters that need redressing as well as freight rates in connection with nubile convenience and general well being that will probably find a way to the proper place and be dealb with under the head.. ing of Pro bono publioo. GRAND LODGE, 1. 0. 0. F. The Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Oddfellowe commenced its annual session in Guelph, Wedneeday of last week. There was a good attendance of delegatee. Grand Master 0. L. Lewin presided. The report of Grand Master Lewis demonstrated that the order hoe that passed througb a most successful and prosperous year. Both financially and numerically, he stated, the oder had made very material progress since last session, and the 25,000 membership mark which he had urged the rank and file to work for when he wile installed into the chief exeontive position had been more than realized. Oa the 30th of June last, according the official retarne, the total membership for Ontario was 20,318, with some 18 lodges yet to be heard from, rep- resenting a gain of 1,195 during hie term of office. The assets of the order in Ontario, the grand master further stated over and above liabilities, amounted to about 91,100,000, during the same period, and there bad been disbareed in financial relief the sum of 987,905.74. Four new lodges, at Brune Mines, at Winoheeter, at Dutton, and at Cardinal have been inetitated during the year. The Oddfellowe' Relief Aeeooiation, of Kingston, an inaaranoe auxiliary of the order inl0a0ada, was heartily recommend- ed by the grand master to all brothers desiring cheap assessment insurance. It ban made remarkable progress daring the past twelve menthe, the inoreaee of ineuranoe in force for the year amounting to 91,350,000. The age limit, whioh is fixed by the laws of the order at 21 years, is the aub- jeot of repeated complaint by the lodged. He recommended that the hands of the grand representatives to the Sovereign Grand Lodge be etrecgthened by a strong petition or other suitable proceeding from the Grand Lodge, in order that the limit be reduced to 18 years. Io conoiueion the Grand Master highly commended the grand Secretary, J. B. King, of Toronto, for hie efficient labors, and for the assistance of hie valuable opinion and counsel in many instances. Grand Seoretary J. B. King, presented his report of what be termed a year of great prosperity. The membership on Jane 30, 1901, totalled 25,831, the num- ber of lodges 288.
