longest session einem 1867 was that of 1885,
when from opening to prorogat ol
there were 173 daysl. This length
of session has never been exceeded in
the history of Parliaments in British North

—North Alberta is pulting a new export
on tho market. At Leduc - and Millett
steeioas are great piles of grey willow pickets
awaiting transportatioli to Hugh River and
other points in the range country, where
they will be used as poste for wire fences.
The wood of the grey willow resembles
cedar, and is almost as indeutructibie by rot.

—The people of Montreal heve been
learning by experience how it feels to have
to walk. The street oar conductors and
motormen in that city went out oni strike at
12 o'clock Friday morning, and there was a
complete tie-up for two days, no cars run-
ning on either Friday and Saturday. As
a result, citizens who had been relying on
the street cars for their ordinary means of
Jocomotion had to depend on shank's mare.
The strike was ended Saturday night and
the oars have been running regularly as
usual since.
—Dr. J. 0. Orr, of Toronto, has been ap-
pointed manager of the Toronto Induetrial
Exhibitien, and will assume the duties of
the office immediately. He was znade the
unanimous choice of the eommittee chosen
to secure a successor to 11. J. Hill, the re-
tiring manager; and on Saturday afternoon
the directors unanimously ratified their
selection. Twenty-one out of 25 ,membera
were present, and they only took a few
minutes in confirming the appointment. Dr.
Orr is about 45 years of age, and is an old
Searbore boy.
—The Ontario Government's crown lands
agent in dee Rainy River dibtrict has writ-
ten that a *rty of 60 Manitoba settlers are
anxious to come back to Ontario, and would
like to locate in his distriob. It seems
strange that settlees aboild wish to leave
territory requiring no clearing, and where
cultivation is so easy, for the wade heavily
wooded land of New Ontaria, but the ex-
planation is that these men are largely from
Ontario originally, and the lonely life of the
prairie does not appeal to them. They long
for the bush land, and prefer mixed farming
to continually raising grain.
—The Moose Jaw Times says : "Illicit
whiskey selling is getting to be a very risky
business. A druggist of Hartney, tried at
Brandon for a violation of the Liquor
License Act, was fined $100, and costs. At
Fort Qu'Appelle, a Touchwood Hills Indian
was tried for supplying whigkey to an inter-
dicted white man and fined $5 and costs.
This is the first instance of an Indian giving
a white man liquor. It has always been the
other way. There are four charges stand-
ing against Thos. Heaslip, of Minto, for il-
legally selling liquor. The "blind pig"
conducted by Tommy is closed for the time,
he having "gone to visit friends."
—Mr. Levi Beck, merchant, of Yorkton,
N. W. T., bee been visiting his native plaoe
near Elora for the first time since he left 18
years ago. Besides hie general store Mr.
Beck isa large farmer, having had 700 acres
of arop last year, the oats averaging 80
bushels per acre, and the wheat 38 bushels.
Mr. Back speaks in the highest terms of the
American settler, who, having had experi-
ence in dealing with the. western prairies,
come` to Canada and so*s flax on the firet
breaking, getting from 10 to 15 bushele per
acre, for which he gets frotn $1 to $1.25
per bushel. A case in point is where a
Mr. Flannigan came to the Yorkton diatriot
from Iwoa in March of teat year and within
