DEAR 11xi'osiTon„-11 Wish to make a few
words of reply to M. Blair's letter which
appeared n your iss lue of the 17th inst. Mr,
Blair's ob est is to make it appear to the
public that grants of nioney made by the
for improvements in Algoma
judiciously expended under the
f commissioners appointed by the
t as they would be if these grants

tie and were expended under their dire
an super ision. ; In order to prove his
ten, ion he instaneea two bridges, the •
for the co struetion of which was don
private a street, under supervision

ing let by ender. These bridges, Mr.
says, cost wice as much as they would
cost had tt a work been done by . tender.
is ion of'this statement he says
substant
Mr. W.'Murray, the superintendent of
of the btidgea, was offered the timbc
the briid'e for nothing on the ad-
joining j 1 t, but instead of accept-
ing thiel fl'er, he took the timber from
his owd arm, hauled it several miles
and charted -,accordingly. The facts aro
that all th t,imber that could be got in the
neighborh.od of the bridge suitable was
used, but ho stringers, which had to be of
tamarac, t n inches square and forty feet '
long, he got on hie farm, as ,they could not
be gotnetter to the bridge. It is also true,
as Mr. Bla r says, that first-class plank are
sold at the mills for seven dollars per thous-
and, but t e mills did not have the lengths
required, : ud the logs the required lengths
had to be .tit and hauled to the mills in or-
der to get he lumber needed for the bridge,
These are .ointe which Mr. Blair did not
mention. t is possible he did not know
about the , but had he wished to be fair,
he would ave made enquiry. Thee are'
several oth r things also which helped to
add to the,oat of the bridge which Mr.
Blair does rot mention. ' A team had to go
to Thessal iz for the hammer, and a rope
for it had t be bought, also the timber had

two te: ms he removed the stomps. These
are litt e chores that Mr. Blair evidently
forgot : bout., As for the forty dollar cul-
vert th . t Mr. Blair mentions, Ido not know
anythi g about it, and 1 fancy it only exists
in. his imagination. On look ng over the
vouche e, I find that the only culvert that
was ma e or paid for, cost but $6.50. I
also fine that for banking the culvert and
drawin; the elay'to grade up a three rod
fiat, to keep the water from crossing the
road at the time of a freshen Mr. W. Mur-
ray got $6 25. These are the sums that
were p: id for in connection with the work,
and the culvert which -Mr. Blair says coat
$40, t e vouchers •show only cost $6.50.
This is -:imply a san'ple of the reckless
stateme. is made by Mr. Blair throughout
his letter, and these statements are made
by,hirn eitheil through ignorance or a desire
to mislead. He eau take whiohever horn of
„the dilemma he chooses.
All these charges which Mr. Blair makes,
and many ni' re, as well as - the system
adopted for tie expenditure of the Govern-
ment g ants, were thoroughly diseuseed and
threshed out y and before the people at
the Pt' vincial elections in March, 1898, and
the res It was that Mr. Farewell, the Lib-

majorit in this district thaw was ever given
to a Lit eral here before. That is the best
evident that the money is properly expend-
ed and hat the people are satisfied with
the way it is being spent. Mr, Blair and
his Conservative associates, however, would
like to make a little capital out of the mat-
ter for their party if they could. tit they
can't do it where the facts are k own, as
the facts are against them and t e people
are against them and they know it, and
this is what makes -them so sav ge. The
fact is, the bridges which were co seructed
here u der the Government eve seers are
good b idges, and value has been iven for
every teller spent. The peoplere satis-
fied wi h the manner in which the appro -
priatio s are used, and it is only a few sore
heads like Mr. Blair who complain,not be-
cause t ey see grieve oes which should be
remedi d, but becaus they are not allowed
to han 1e any of the oney. A!1 Mr,Blair'"s
other c mplains are on a par with those I
have already mentioned in connection with
the wo ks superintended by Mr. W. Murray,
and his blunders could be as easily exposed
as in co neotion with these works, but it is
not necessary for m e to take up your valu-
able space in doing so. The whole situation
is thoroughly understood here.
Yours truly,
R. MuARAY,
McLennan, Algoma.

In order to let the young men of to -day
into a little of the historfy of the past and
to give them some ideaf how their fore-
fathers had to struggle with life, we publish
the following :

Sir Louie Coate,
Chancellor Boyd,
Burbidge, of the
buildings, consisting of
Chief Justice of Quebec,
of Toronto, and Judge
Exchequer Court, Ottawa. * The delibera-
rions of the arbitrators are assisted by emin-
ent counsel, who represent the three parties
in the cane, namely, the Dominion of Can-
ada, Quebec and Ontario. The subject of
the arbitration is the disputed aoeonts be-
tween Quebec and Ontario, a subject l) so old,
andan arbitrption so interminable, hat the
newspapers olf Canada have long ce sed to
say anything about it. The disc to in-
volves millions of dollars, and must a set=
tled some day, whether by the present,ar-
bitrators or their successors. The scope of
the present inquiry goes back to the fifties
and sixties when Quebec and Ontario were
one province, when they were subsequently
divided into Upper and Lower Canada, and
when they finally became members of the
Confederation at Ontario and Quebec. Or-
iginally, the joint province had a "common
