Land Scandals '''e Don't Hear About delved into the years 1912 and 1913 it would have come on four live land scandals almost on the surface. Bigger scandals lower down or higher up there may be, but these four which were i unearthed by the Liberals without hard se .arching, will serve as an example. i The facts which are indisputable are a matter of official record. The transac- tions, which are not confined to any one i department, aggregate half a million l dollars reaped by party friends at the public expense. The Prince Alpert homestead case is perhaps the most notorious. It: concerns seventy-three acres of Iancl within the city limits of Prince Albert,Saskatchewan which the Laurier Government had reserved from homestead. On April 10, 1912, the I-Ionorable .Robert Rogers, being then Minister of the Interior, and no public notice having been given that the land Was open for Homesteading, Arthur Donaldson, son of the Con- servative Whip in the Saskatchewan Legislature. received a patent for this land for homestead entry on payment of ten dollars. The land was forthwith sub. -divided and offered for sale at prices aggregating $374,000. Prospective profit 3,740,000 per cent. Net result for young Mr. Donaldson $273,000, un- less the money got spread out on the way like the cheques, for Dick McBride's submarines. The Dorval Military Manoeuvres, by which Major General Sam'I-Iughes,acting under order -in -council dated. May 23, 1912, paid $180,000 for a military camp site in Montreal, assumed the following phases. June 8, 1912, Major Redden purchased the McIntyre farm and the Bel -Air race track for $84,996. June 17, he sold it to the Department of Militia, and one week later he got his cheque for $180,000. Net profit in two weeks $95,004. Major Redden, it will be ob- served., beat the Government to it by just nine days. The Government was. nine days behind at $10,800 a day, which represents Major Rodden's reward for being a good guessor. In July, 1912, a man named Buteau, paid $5,500' for a piece of land at Levis, Que. On June 26, 1912, he sold to Dussault for $12,200-a profit of $6,700 in twelve months. On July 26, I913, Dussault • sold to Dohen for $25,400-a profit of $13,180 in thirty days. On July 30th, 1913, Dohen sold to the Department of Agriculture, as. a site for''a quarantine station, for Was Troubled With Smothering Spells, Would Wake Up With Breath Alt Gone. Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills Entirely Carred Her. Mrs. Wm. McElwain, Temperance. Vale, N.B., writes: 'I am not much of a believer in medicines, but I must say Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are all right, Some years ago I was troubled with smothering spells. In the night 1 would be sound asleep but would waken up with my breath all gone and think I never would get it back. _I was telling a friend of my trouble, and 12e advised me to try Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. Ro also gave me a box which I tried, and I had only taken a few of them when I could sleep all night without any trouble. I did not finish the box until some years after when I felt my trouble conning back so I took the rest of them and they entirely cured me.” Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are 50cr box or pe 3 boxes for 81.25, at all dealers or mailed direct on receipt of price y,}by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, wti`':i Y Jr...'r twsse $32,750-a profit of $7,350 in four days All these foresighted men were Con- servatives. They knew not only how land was going to soar in Quebec but where and they seem to have had more than a vague idea that the Hon. Martin Burrell was going to come in at the top of the market. The Ginrli land grab by which Peter •Tergesen, 0Iayor of Gimli,a Conservative worker, acquired the town park and the appurtenant foreshore on Lake Winnipeg tor ;5752 and subsequently valued it at $18,000 is another transaction which the Ferguson report neglects to mention. Mr Tergesen`s return on his money is nearly 2,000 per cent, which goes to show that nothing is too good for a hardworker, if he works the right persons. The Ferguson report, not to make it too noticeable that Frank Oliver was the roan sought, brought into it another name, that of Robert Cruise. M. P., for Dauphin, Manitoba, whose constituency is greatly coveted by the party in power. As Mr. Cruise has declined to sell out he is to be crowded out if the Ferguson report can do it: Robert Cruise's experience is as follows. He happened to be farming in Manitoba many years ago at a time when pioneers had a chance at a homestead by fencing off eighty acres and putting twenty head of cattle on the land. As Robert Cruise had only thirteen head of cattle he went out and bought seven more which he subsequently sold after the homestead was acquired. The bur- den of Farmer Cruise's offence is that he ran the homestead with thirteeahead of cattle instead of twenty. Mr. Eerguson, being a lawyer has an idea that cattle should not be sold when the market is good, but that they should be treasured to extreme old age, and finally when they are tough and stringy, they should be fyled as evidence in rebuttal. The Ferguson report simply cannot swallow those seven cattle. The Govern- nient can swallow four hundred ,;founder- ed horses sold by their own agents at Quebec, at one-third of the price paid for them and also about a hundred more which found their way to the knacker's yard and the glue factory but seven head of cattle sold by ,a Liberal M. P., who didn't want to keep them through the winter -well that's a horse of another color. II. F. G. •e••••••••••o••••••a•••••• tINIMMIAN •••••••••••••••••••e•eo•••.

MARBLES OF VERMONT. They Surpass the Product of Italy's Famous Quarries. The greatest marble producing indus- try in the world Is no longer to be found in the famous Carrara district of Italy, but in Vermont, where one of the richest veins in the world stretches In an irregular line across the state. So great is the production of marble in this section that the inhabitants have lost much of their appreciation of its value and use it for such humble and utilitarian purposes as paving, un- derpinning for barns, hitching posts, stepping stones and drinking troughs for horses. This vein is about fifty- seven miles long, from 1,600 to 2,200 feet in width and runs from 375 to 850 feet in depth, and from It is being taken In enormous quantities white marble that is equal to the finest Ital- len marble as well es an endless va- riety of blue, yellow, green and jet black marbles. For quarrying and finishing the mar- ble arrile the most up to date methods and equipment are used, no part of the worts being done by hand that can possibly be done by machinery. Hand methods of drilling, still in vogue in Italy, have been entirely superseded by power driven drills and channeling machines. The blocks as they come from the quarry are handled by der- ricks and are conveyed in most cases by an inclined railway or a ropeway to the mills, where they are sawed and shaped by power driven machines, only the last delicate stage of polishing being done by hand. -Popular 351e- ,hanics Magazine.
