Tula pay roll for miners employed at
Roseland is now over §6,000 a day, This
shows the.benefit:of good paying, mines,
suoli as we have in Ontario and •British
Columbia.
WumN Messrs. Davies and Blair return
to Winnipeg from the Paoiflo coast, they
will be banqueted by the leading citizens.
Mr. Davies will transact important busi.
nese in connection with the Bering Sea
fisheries, and Mr, Blair will make a per.
conal inquiry into the Crows' Nest Pass
Railway, to connect the East with the
rich mineral field of the Kootenay region.
Important results are looked for. This
Dominion is bound to move forward.
Junorxe by the evidence given before
the Tariff Commission, the manufacturers
of this country are very ;unwilling to
think o£ reduction of ratesand if the
consumer were left to their tender mercy
he would fare very badly. In the near
future the Agricultural Societies and
Farmers' Institutes will take a hand in
telling their side of the story. No one
class should be permitted by law to place
an excessive tax on another, partioularly
on the necessities of life ; nor should
manufacturers have special privileges
given them whereby they are able to
amass wealth in a few years, while other
people, who work just as hard, find diffi-
culty in keeping the balance on the right
side of the ledger. In m country like
Canada, where the agriculturist occupies
such a prominent part, bis interests
should be carefully looked after, for we
have found out that when the farmer
prospers trade booms and vice versa.
The Tariff Commission have a big job on
their hands but, while Tse Posx is not
struck on commissions as a rule, we ex-
pert good to cone of 11 by having all the
data at hand when this important goes.
tiou comes up for adjudication.
ROx. DE, BOEDEN, Minister of Militia,
was seen and asked regarding the future
of the Canadian Militia. He replied :
"I am at present engaged with theofficers
of my department in studying how best
to accomplish what, for want of a better
word, I will call reorganization. I want
to observe two things especially in this:
First, economy with due regard to effici-
ency, and, second, the regular observance
of the annual drill. I feel that everyone
will be willing to assist me in every way
to make all possible economies with a
view to maintaining the annual drill.
Unless we make considerable economies
it will be impossible." "Yon mean regu-
lar annual drill for every corps ?" "Yes,
every carps and battalion, The corps to
which I am attached has not been called
out for annual drill for three years. The
militia has been treated in a scandalous
manner. Whenever money has been
short, .or half a million has been wanted
for some purpose it has been said :-"Oh
let us have no annual drill.' Now, that
is not fair to the militia. I feel that if
every corps, rural battalions as well as
city, are called out every year, that it
will assist greatly in insuring the stability
of the force. The men will be more con-
tended and regular, and it will tend to
make the stay longer in their corps, as
well as insure greater efficiency."
