IMMIGRATION FOR LAST 'YEAR If Bad Water Causes Diarrhoea Use Some 6Nervilife 150,000 Came From Britain and 139,000 From the States. A despatch from Ottawa says : During the fiscal year ended March 31st, 1913, 402,432 immigrants ar- rived in Canada. This total is made up of 150,542 British, 139,009 from the United States, and 112,881 from all other countries combined. Im- migration. to Canada for the preced- ing fiscal year, the twelve months ended March 31st, 1912, was: Bri- tish, 138,121; from the United States, 133,710; and from all other countries combined, 82,408; total 354,237. Percentages of increases are :'British, 9 per cent..; American, 4 per cent. ; other countries 37 per cent. ; total 14 per cent. To illus- trate the magnitude of the figures just quoted, it is necessary to only 'state that last years' immigration to Canada is greater than the total population of New Brunswick, ac- cording to the census of 1011, by more than fifty thousand souls. CA.PT. SCOTT'S DIARY. It Enhances the Glory of Every Ilan in the Expedition. A despatch from London says: Lady Scott, the wife of Captain R.

She adds that her husband's diary will be published in lull 'as soon as practicable. "Every word in the diary.," Lady Scott says, "goes to enhance the glory of the expedition and the work of every officer and matt concerned in it." Prompt Relief is Instantly Assured, and Thousands Use Nervi« line on This Account. A Traveler's Experience Related. The experience of Mr. Norman P. Hen- drinks is not an unusual one. Writing from Prince Albert he says; "My buei- nese calls me from one place to another, and I am frequently up against the bad water problem of the Canadian North- West. In so many places the water dis- agrees with me, and I used to be kept very miserable on that account. An old settler told me one day that nothing is so useful to newcomers as Nerviline, and he explained to me how valuable it proved to him under similar circum stances twenty-fivo years ago. You would' hardly believe . how happy and comfor- table my trips are since I learned of Nerviline. I look upon 'Nerviline' as my trusty friend, and give it a place of hon. or in my hand bag. In fact, I wouldn't think of being without it in a country like this. It cures any little .stomach trouble or digestive disturbances and re Heves a cramp in ten seconds. To cure Neuralgia, Earache, Toothache, or pain in your muscles like Rheumatism, you simply can't beat Nerviline." To cure little ills before they grow big and to relieve the aches and pains of the whole family get Nerviline to -clay.

"My little boy was suf- fering very badly from a form of skin disease over his eye. I applied Zam-Buk to the affected part, and in a very short time the sores were healed." Mrs, F. Miners, of 311 Suffolk St., Guelph, Ont., says: "My little daughter Lorinda (6), contracted a skin disease. This first broke out like tiny water blisters, afterwards taking the form of dry scabs. These would disappear for a short time, and then reappear worse than ever. We tried Zam-Buk, and persever- ance with its use, resulted in a cure." All druggists and stores- sell Zara-Buk at, 60c. box or post free from Zam-Buk 'Co., Toronto, upon receipt of price. Foreign Secretary Will Go to Ber- lin 'With Ring and Queen. A despatch from London says The Daily Express says Sir ,Edward Grey, the Foreign Secretary, will accompany King George and Queen Mary when they go to Berlin to attend the wedding of the Princess Victoria Louise and Prince Ernst of Cumberland on May 24.

MAYG fxoyernment Bill struct and ON FAOVINCE Empowers Municipalities to Con - Operate Hydro Radial Lines A despatch from Toronto says: Just before the Legislature rose on Wednesday evening Hon. Adam Beck introduced an Act for the public construction and operation of electric railways that provides the machinery by which municipali- ties throughout the province can secure for themselves either inde- pendently or by co-operation the transportation service so many of them have urgently needed. Under the new legislation they will be able to proceed in three ways. They can go to the Hydro -Electric Com- mission and have that body con- struct, operate and maintain a line; they can have the commission construct it and operate and main- tain it themselves, or they can both construct and operate under due supervision and with the assistance of the commission. The idea back of the whole bill is that the municipalities must meet the whole burden. The prov- ince assumes no financial liability. It is not the intention to use the credit of the province, the method provided being similar to that by which the municipalities undertake the local distribution of power, meeting the cost by issuing deben- tures. The right-of-way of the Hydro -Electric transmission sys- tem will, of course, be used to ad- vantage, and this will be rented to the municipalities by the commis- sion. In moving the first reading of the bill Hon. Mr. Beck referred to the fact that the Government and commission had been waited upon and urged to adopt a plan of en- couraging the construction of elec- tric railways along the right-of-way of 'the commission used for the transmission of power. "Railway construction and oper- ation," he said, "has not been considered a money -making pro- position. Consequently we feel that the matter should receive care- ful consideration and the fullest investigation before such 'an enter- prise is gone into." He added that the. construction of rural lines that had been considered impossible might be possible under the condi- tions made by the new legislation, Thebill provides, first, that the l ydro-Electric Power Commission, whenever required by the Lieuten- ant -Governor -in -Council so to do, mayenquire into, examine, inves- tigate and report upon the cost of constructing and operating electric railways in any locality where pow- er is supplied by the commission, with an estimate of the probable revenue, the practicability of the enterprise, and the economic value to the locality served by it. Two or more municipal corpora- tions may be authorized by the Lieutenant -Governor -in -Council to enter into an agreement with the commission (1) for the construction, equipment and operation of an electric railway, to be operated by poiver supplied by the commission; or (2) for its construction by the commission and for its operation by the corporation; or (3) for its construction and operation by the corporation or corporations, and in either case for supply of electric power by the commission. The agreement with the commis- sion shall include the location of the line of railway, the character of the equipment and the service, and the maximum tolls and fares to be chargeable thereon; the proportion in which the cost of construction, equipment, maintenance and oper- ation shall be borne by each of the corporations interested; the pro- portion of the revenue to be distri- buted to the corporation after de. ducting the charges for rental of right-of-way, power, etc. The entire undertaking will be municipally owned, and the 'prov- ince will not be liable for a dollar of expenditure. To meet the cost of the railways the municipalities shall have power to issue forty - year debentures, but these deben- tures will not be protected by a provincial guarantee. The Act requires the Council of every municipality entering into a contract with the commission to an- nually raise and pay over to the commission such sums as may be required by it in the construction, equipment, maintenance and opera- tion of the railway, including the costs of the supply of electrical power to the extent fixed in the agreement, and provides that de- bentures may be issued, payable in not more than forty years, for that purpose. The Act makes it unnecessary to secure the assent of the electors to any by-law to raise such monies. THE NEWS RI A PARAGRAPH ilAPI'ENINos ritOM ALL DVItl1. TUE GLOB IN A FiLinn ELL.
