AND RFAffa3IBLN MOSS.
At n0 general election in °uteri° for
marry yearn peat has the Oppoaition
created lees stir or intermit then on Ohm
present occasion.
There ore eeverai reaoono for thin. One
ie that the people as a whole are prosper.
oma Sud contented, Work of all kinds is
abundant and wages are good. People as
a rule ore too busy making money to
bother math about'eleotions.
Then there is no grievance 8801000 the
Rose Government. He it aptfve, progres-
sive, watohfal of the oounary'e interest°,
and a eats man totted in power.
When one is satisfied with a trusted
eervent one does not worry about him.
Whenintermit in the campaign is not
keen beoanoe Mr. Whitney hoe failed en.
tirely to give anything like a good reason
why a ohmage should be meta. He has
no declared policy, he says he will not
deolare one for fear somebody might steal
it, The reason he keeps at the game
eeeme to be that he would like to have a
turn at the head of affairs. There le too
mach at stake, however, to take the risk
of a change without good reasons, and
any reasone Mr. Whitney may have he
keeps oarefally concealed.
The friends of the Government moat
not, however, rely on the weakness of
the Oppoeition. They must be ready for
the fight or they may lose the day purely
through carelessness.
PULP WOOD.
ONTARIO VERSUS QUEBEO.
Some newepapere continue to make
the etetement that thousands of square
miles of land have been ceded by the
Ontario Government to pulp syndioatee.
Bluntly speaking, this is not true.
The feats are that seven different oom•
ponies have been granted the right to oat
pulpwood from oertain limits. In con.
sideration of this' permission the oom-
panies have contracted to spend large
amounts of money and employ large nom -
bars of hande—to open up and develop
the new country. The purpose of grant.
ing the right to out le to ensure an ade-
quate supply of raw material, obviously
an absolute necessity to any company
which proposes to expend millions of
dollars before a single dollar oan be earn
ed. The land remains the property of
the Crown, and is open to the settler,
who will find abet he has a market at
hand for 011 tbe pulpwood he oan out
from his farm. This it is tbat makes
some people Bay that the attracting of
capital to build peep mills is the only
policy of Immigration for many parts of
New Ontario.
Ent it meet not be supposed that the
compenfee acquire the pulpwood for
nothing. On the contrary, they must
pay the Province 40 rents a cord for
every cord they out. If the seven com-
panies which are now organized ran to
the full capacity called for they will nee
316,475 cordo annually, upon wbich the
dues would amount to $136,590, as an.
noal income which,, if napitahzed at 3
per cent., amounts to $4,219,666.66. The
statement has been made that if the
areas had bean sold at auction, as in
Qoebeo, tbey would have yielded the
treasury $1,900,000. Thio is no criti-
cism at Mfr, bat a remarkable commen-
dation of the busiaeseacnmen of the On-
tario Government. Furthermore, in
Quebec, the 91,900,000 represent all the
Province can hope ever to realize from 1
z
the sold limita. In Ontario, it is by no
means certain that the oompaoies will
require all the timber on their limits, in
which vase other companies may be
granted licensee to 00t o0 the same
mond—Mao paying 40 cents a cord.
Aod, stili furtner, if at any time the
Government wishes to increase tbe dues
10 may do so in the same way as they
wereinoreaeed f0 1900, when they were
raised from 20 cents to 40 oente a cord.

Paints
When you consider about the pai06ing of year house the most important thing
to think of is, what is the beet anality of paint obtainable ? The beet paint to etaod
the weather and look fresh for the luug.et time? There is only one answer to this,
namely, that a paint made with Brendram'e B. 13, Genoioe Lead, Pore Lioeeed Oil,
and just enough Dryer, most be the beet, as this B. B. Lead has for so many years
been proved superior to all others. Snail a paint is Anchor Liquid Hoose Paint; and
it is the only liquid paint made in Canada with Brandram's B. B. Geonine White
Lead.
It is a mistake for yon to nee auythin4 bat the very beet paint in painting your
home. The Dost of putting ou the paint is usually about the same as the coat of the
paiot itself. A cheap paint takes more time to make a reaeouabty good job with
then a good paint, and does not last as long, nor look so well. In foot the cheap paint
is the moat expensive paint in the sad. ;ate no mistake. Use Anchor Liquid
Hoose Paint. It is a Pare White Lead, Zino and Linseed Oil Paint, and is as good
ae oat be made with our choice of the very beet materials. Use it and get the moth
satisfactory malts obtainable with paint. Sold by—

Hon. Mr. Ross Tells About
the Canadian "Soo,"
Well, what have we as the result of the
support given by the Government to lbs
Algoma Oontral Railway, Lot me par.
tionlarize :
1. We have the pulp works, whioh were
to be bni't before the grant to the Algoma
Central was made, at a 0oet of $400,000,
expanded into larger works, coating over
$600,000. Without the land grant to the
Algoma Central the area for pnlp would
not have been eaffiuieut for worth of the
present magnitude.
2 We have sulphide pulp works, not
originally contemplated, erected at a oval
of 9700,000, producing 60 tone of eulphlde
pulp per day. I
3 We have rolling mills capable of
prodnoinp 600 tone of steel rails per day
already in operation.
4, We have the opening of the Helen
mine, which already supplies the emelt
tog formless of Deaerooto, • Hamilton,
Midland and the Sault,
5. We have a fleet of eighteen steamers
engaged in conveying the ore from the
mines at Miohipiooten to the smelting
tummies already named, and elsewhere.
When the land grant was made to the
Algoma Central it was thought Mr.
Olergue had entered into a heavy engage.
mens when he undertook to plane two
steamers on the Northern lakes in 0onneo-
tioo with his works at the Sault.
6. We have fifty miles of a railway
track of the Bret gpeltty running North
from the Sault, and seventy miles graded
ready for the rails, with the proepeot of.
seventy more being completed daring the
present year.
7. We have charcoal works capable of.
ooneuming 800 oorda of hardwood per
day, to be inereaeed to 600 cords,
8. We have oar shops that turn out font
oars par day, worth $1,000 each, to be
inoroaaed in the near future to twelve
care per day.
9. We have the foandetioue being laid
for a veneering mill, with a contract
already signed with J.pan for 600,000
tea °heeta.
10. We have a aompony with a pay
roll amounting to 9160,000 a month, em.
ploytug between four and five thousand
men,
11. We have village eitee:being laid out
and homes underoonetruction for eettlera
on the agrionitural lands along the line
of railway.
12. Wo have a company that has ex.
pendod $15,000,000 on thee° enterprioea,
Which would have been strangled had Mr.
Whitney's views prevailed.
18, And, lastly, the population of the
Sault Imo increased from about 5,000 five
years ago to 10,000 and over.
Sow can a man be treaded to direot the
development of Ontario who watt opposed
to this Railway and the hauls of this en-
terprioe as the one I have just d000ribed ?
The land grant to the Algona Central
Railway was the basis of this enterprise,
and it was owing to the action of the
Government that its 0000000 was made
possible, (Load epplauso.) t

Ewan & Co.
Are now ready for this season with a larger stock of Buggies than
ever. Although we sold 122 rigs in 1901 we are going to try and
beat that number this season, as we are determined to reach 200.
By giving a first-class rig and your choice from nearly every first-
class factory in Canada and along with our own hand -made Bug-
gies, at close prices, we ought to reach the 200.
Our Buggies are 1000 mile, dust and oil -proof axles with the
solid Parlfer front wheels and no shaking -off or losing of hub bands
as all is solid and there to stay. Oil Ewan & Co's Buggies twice in
the season and that is all.that is required.
Call and see our stock of Rigs' and you will be convinced that
you can't do any better than purchase a Ewan & Co. Buggy. They
are light in draft and all first-class material. 14 new Buggies and
2 Surreys sold this season already. •
We sincerely thank our many customers for the number of Rigs
they purchased from us in the past season and we hope they will
help us along in the years to come.
