LAIRD, Algoms, January 5th, 1897.
DEAR EXPOSITOR, -I see by one of your
late papers that Mr. Tarte has been clearing
out the corruptionists at Ottawa, and with
that I fully agree, and hope, Sir, that when
you go to Toronto you will endeavor to do
likewise in the Ontario House, and when
you get through there, 1/4turn your attention
to Algoma and purge b of these Govern-
ment blood -suckers. I hope you will par-
don me for giving you such a large under-
taking, but it seems to me to be necessary. •
Mr. Editor, I understood when the Hon.
Mr. Laurier go e into power that the land -
was to Bow with milk and honey, but so far
we have had neither the milk nor honey,
and have came to the conclusion that they
must have consumed it all at Ottawa.
Now Sir, I will give you a short account of
our municipal election. Mr. Robert Murray,
late of Tuckersmith, was elected reeve, and
Mr. Peter Moore put up his sail, and sailed
right into harbor as a councillor, also Mr.
Johnson, Mr. Bruce and Mr. Stewart. Mr.
Grainger followed suit so closely that we
were nearly having five councillors, the lat-
ter being only one vote behind. It was a
very closely contested election, it being
hard to decide which candidate should be
elected, as they are all good men. Times
have been verydlull here, but the prospect
seems to be brighter, as the -iron mines,
within three miles of hers, have been bought
up, and work .will be commenced immedi-
ately to =develop them. We had. a tea.
meeting in the Methodist church here
on New Year's eve, and it was a success.
We have had a very remarkable winter. The
ground is bare, and some are talking
of plowing. We have not had any sleighing
Worth speaking of so far this winter. There
was a very heavy rain fall, lasting about
three dat s, causing a great flood. It start-
ed to rain on Friday evening, and rained
steadily till Monday noon. The water
rose in Bar -River two feet above high
water mark, causing several washouts. One
was on the Soo branch of theCa,nadianPacifie
Railway at the railway bridge, four miles
from here, which caused an accident to a
freight train. The approach to the bridge
gave way, derailing nine or ten cars loaded
with flour and grain, and piling them up in
a promiscuous heap. Some of them are in
the Heel'. Most of the cars are a complete
wreck, but we are happy to say there were
no lives lost, nor any one injured. I will not
try your patience any further at the present
time. Hoping you. will give this space, I
am yours, etc.,

The Forests of Siberia.
From an important work on the forests of
Russia, recently treoslated into English, the
following interesting facts are reproduced.
The composition of the Siberian Forest is,
interesting, as bearing on the futtiie timber
supply of the world, and as showing for
eortain classes of timber, like oak, ah and
the best building material,
The vast forest resources of Siberia are
unequally distributed over its enormous
territory. The great forests are situated in
the north, while the south is nearly treeless.
The whole region may be divided into
three zones, each distinguished by charac-
teristic features and situated in a direction
from east to west.
The zone of what is here called "north-
ern tall -stemmed woodlands," stretches un-
interriiptedly from the Ural Mountains to
the eastern shores of Kamschatka ; on tke
north it borders on the trundas, the limit of
the growth of the larger vegetation, and on
the south it extends to the region suitable
for agdculture. It is interrupted by large
masses of impassable bogs, and is composed
of pines, larches and firs. The deciduous
trees are few and insignificant, although
willows and aspens border the swamps end
birtches occur in places. This northern
forest oceupies all that part of Siberia,
where agriculture is impossible from the de-
ficient quantity of heat during the months
of vegetable activity.
The fixed population is insignificant, and
the raising of graih sporadic in small spots
on its southern border. There are locali-
ties, we -are told, in this great forest belt,
"where for tens and hundreds of versts in
every direction stand clean plantations of
pipe, which, with their interlaced summits,
hide the sky. The absolutely naked trunks,
rising perfectly straight to an enormous
height, and so monotonous that a man who
once chances into such it part of the Siberian
tia,ga, or even a wild beast, cannot find his
way out again.
Access to such places is difficult and the
thnber contained in them is so far without
value, hut with the growth of the papula -
tin, the improvement of roads and the de-
struction of the forests in the inhabited
parts, means will be found to make use of
the now remote forest resources.
The scourge of the forests of this zone at
the present time is the forest fires, °not
infrequently devastating hundreds of versts.
The burned timber is, however, rapidly re-
placed by young underwood growing up
under the influence of natural selection.
mountain forests, guarding aa -hey do -the
sources of swift • flowing streams, are ex-
tremely important in the economies of the
country.
During the last thirty years the Govern-
ment of Russia has been paying some an
tention to the care of the forests of Western
Siberia. In 1863, *in the Governments of
Tomsk and Tobelsk, temporary regulations
were introduled, establishing a tax eer
stump for the use of wood. Preservation
of the forest was imposed mien the rural
population, who, in return were allowed to
make a free nee for their own needs, but
not for sale.
1,n 1869 a law was promulgated granting
to a corporation the unlimited right ofi
making use of Siberian timber for industrial
purposes. Since 1884 the forests of West-
ern Siberia have been pleced upon the same -
footing as that by which' the crown forests
of European Russia are managed, that is,by
a paid forest guard.
In Eaetern Siberia the inhabitants are
still allowed free use of the forests for their
needs, and there is as yet no forest control.
In the Amur country, where the forests are
believed • to be extraordinarily varied and
valuable, steps have recently been taken to-
ward ascertaming the extent of the crown
forests and for bringing them under State
control,
Wooden Spoons.
In the district,of Semenovsk, in Russia,
where wooden Spoons chiefly come from,
about 7,000 men make a living at the trade.
The spoons are generally made from bireh
wood, and a skilful workman can turn out
several hundred a day. No fewer than
12,000,000 epoons are manufactured in the
course Of the year, which are sold at six to
eight rubles per thousand.

-A week ago Saturday, Austin the little
19:months' old son of Mr. and Austin,

below the eye. It did not at first seem to
be anything serious, as he played about the
house all the afternoon. At night it com-
menced swelling so that both eyes were
closed for several days, finally erysipelas and
blood poisoning set in, terminating fatally.
The zone of birch forest covers the whole.
of the low-lying.or so-called steppe portion
of Siberia. This zone is occupied by a ,set-
tled population, and practically coincides
with the cultivated or agricultural part of
Siberia. The principal and only valuable
tree in this region is the birch, with a slight
admixture of aspens and willows along the
banks of rivers. Coniferous trees are en-
tirely absent. The birch thrives on a cher-
nozion soil, and therefore this zone is the
most populated and particularly character-
istic of Western Siberia, between the mid-
dle course of the Tobol and theupper waters
of the Obi. This region embraces the so -
celled steppes of Ishimsk, Barabinsk and.
Kurudzhinsk.

QHNSTON
One of the Best Known Printers in Canada,
Tells the story of his terrible sufferings, and giv- es an account
of hi 's reecue from the 4axtrs of Death.
Probably • no one is better knoWn to
the printing trade of Canada than Max-
well Johnston, of Maxwelell Johnston.
& Co.„ 72 -.Bay street, Toronto. Bis
many years of experience hae ac-
quainteti him with almost every per -
eon in the entire trade. To many
o f his friends it has been known that he
as suffered eduring very severe illness
the pi -I -At year, and in regard to the
setae Me. Johnston writes the foliar-
ing letter :-
Totweiao, Dec. 8, 1896
MeeiSSRS. T. MILBURN & Co.:
D e:Alt Srus,-For over -ten menthe
etiffered from dropsy, caused by kidney
trouble which followed an attack of in
grippe. The symptom& rapidly became
serious and medical aid 'was called. in.
Among others who were consulted were
Ds. Wallace, Dr. Norman Allen, Dr.
Weir. and. Dr. Glass, all of this city, and
I can truly state that they made every
effort that medical skill could provide.
fieven operations were performed within
eix months, -during which time I visited
differente,periuds for the purpose of,
hese operatiyns the following hospitals,
viz : The Toronto General Hospital, St.
-Michoolss Hospital and Grace Hospital.
,Although all that could be done • for me
was faithfully and eltildfully performed,
I received only temporary relief, the
ee'eratiems only serving to remove the
enormous quantities of water which cen-
rowitly accumulated. As a matter of fact,
egallona of water were removed during
the la,st two operations. After ,the last
operation I was given op to did and was
given only six to twelve days to live.
.= In addition to the best medical skill
which money could procure,: I used all
1:hale of patent medicines which pro-
inieed relief, but without effect. All the
family remedies suggested, such as Milk--
Net:ea Tea, Pumpkin Seed Tea, Mullein
Leaf Tea-, Spanish Onion Tea, SWeet
Nitre and Buchu, etc., were faithfully
tried but gave not the slightest relief, so
thet I had lost all hope, when I was per-
suaded to try Doan's Kidney -Pills, to-
gether with -Laxa Liver Pills. Tomy
surprise I received almost immediate re-
lief. 0 At this time" I was unable to lie
down and for three and. a hidf months
previously was forced to sleep in a chair.
Mydwaist measure was then 49 inches; it
is now 33 iriches since the wonderful
cure made by these pills.
I consider myself perfectly ured and
feel strong and well. My weight When
I was 'attacked was 108 pounds. After
the operations I was rechiceil to 130.
weiglenow NO. By carefullY watching
the action of Doan's Pills snd Laxa
Liver Pills I am positive that to them
alone is due the wonderful cUre .which
has taken place in my case.
I ern a printer by trade and have held
positions in the offices of The G obe, Mail,
Methodist Book Boom, etc., as* well as
in Ohio and Detroit, Mich., and have
been an empleiying printer sin4e 3877.
Although may seem increflible,
every' wurd I have stated is the truth, and
I am prepared to back it by the evidence
of hundreds of citizens and friends who
knew me before I was sick and afterwards,
while I was near death's door, and who
now, to their surprise, see me restored to
complete health by the use of Doan's Kid-
ney Pills, assisted by Laxa Liver Pills,
I shall be glad to answer inqUirie's from
sufferers from kidney or liver troubles at
any time, and refer to the following gen-
tlemen who have knowledge of the facts,
and can verify every word I say. Many
of these gentlemen kneW ma before my
sickness, during my terrible! sufferings,
and since I. was restored to health. My
testimony is given voluntarily; and with-
out any consideration of any kind, either
direotly or indirectly. 1 giVe it solely
for the benefit of: my fellow beings who
may be afflicted with Dropsy! or Kidney
troubles of any kind, viz.
