—Hon. G. W. Ross thinks that
Ontario should get rid of "small
politics." Many of the electors
are of the same opinion, and hence
they will make every effort to rele-
gate Hon. G. W. and his Cabinet

the first opportunity.

—Up to April *1st, 207 Canad-
ians have died in South Africa
from bullet wounds or disease. To
these must be added those who
died in the conflict on the 4th inst.;
of the large number wounded on the
same day, others may die. Cana-
adians bore the brunt of the fight,
and their conduct and bravery
under fire could not be excelled by
any of the veteran regiments of the
British army.

of interest, but interest on the
amount of the original donation to
the railroads is included in thein.
For every $3000 donated for a rail-
road a certificate of indebtedness
for $5,590.80 is issued ; the certifi-
cate being Made payable in eighty
equal half -yearly instalments of
$60,96 each, The additional $2,-
596.80 which is added to every
$3,000 donated, is made up of in-
terest, computed at the rate of 31
per cent. per annum, on the princi-
pal from time to time outstanding,
from the date of issue of the cer-
tificate until the final payment is
made. The $7,020,753.95 now
outstanding in the form of certifi-
cates and annuities represents prin-
cipal and interest combined in the
respective proportions of $3,000
and $2,590.80. Tho low rate of
interest which has prevailed for
some years past has not infrequent-
ly enabled the railway promoters
who have receive41 those certificates
to dispose of them at a premium,
and they have been able to get
more than $3,000 cash for each
$5,590.80 certificates.
Aside from the certificates and
annuities above mentioned the
Province is, of course, liable for
the payment of donations already
voted to roads not yet constructed.
This outstanding liability amounts
to about $3,000,000 cash. Some of
these roads will doubtless never be
built, and the liabilites will conse-
quently lapse, but for such of the
roads as may be built certificates of
indebtedness will be issued in the
usual way.
—The Boston Transcript prints
a despatch from Minneapolis de-
claring that at the present rate of
emigration from the North-west to
Central and Western Canada, two
million Americans will be in the
Dominion at the end of twenty
years. While this would seem to
be an overstatement, there is no
doubt that a large number of
Americans are crossing the line, at-
tracted partly by the abounding
richness of Western Canada, and
partly by the liberal inducements
offered to immigrants.

—A. train one mile in length
sounds like a record. But that is
what was last week hauled over
the Thunder Bay & Wabigoon sec-
tion of the C. P. R. It comprised
105 cars. The train was sent over
the road to ascertain exactly the
tonnage that could be handled on
the various grades between the
lake and the leveller sections of the
prairie. With this knowledge gain-
ed, plans will be prepared to lower
the grades where necessary, and
generally improve the road to al-
low of the haulage of the maxi-
mum tonnage both directions. A
portion of the $2,000,000 appro-
priated for the improvement of
that section will be applied to this
work.

—The principle that a town or
city should own, utilize and work
its own franchises for the benefit of
its own citizens, is growing in pop-
ular favor. Last week, the ques-
tion of municipal ownership of
street car lines was submitted to
the citizens of Chicago, and carried
by a large majority. When a
large city like Chicago declares for
municipal ownership, the result of
the vote will have a potent influence
on other cities. If a profitable
franchise can be made to pile up
fortunes and dividends for a mon-
opoly, there seems to be no reason,
why the same franchise should not
be made to yield profits that would
furnish civic revenues, and thus
reduce the taxation of the citizens.
Great changes are brought about
gradually, and municipal owner-
ship is gradually gaining ground.
Gravenhurst ratepayers recently
voted $15,000 to purchase a muni-
cipal lighting plant. Thus the
good work goes on.
ONTARIO'S INDEBTEDNESS.
The Weekly Sun in reply to a
correspondent, shows very plainly
Ontario's obligations for Railway
Aid certificates. We take the lib-
erty of giving it to our readers, as
it sets the matter out very clearly.
"The outstanding certificates of
indebtedness of the Province of
Ontario on account of the railroad
donations amounted on December
31, 1901, to $5,870,040.95. This
sum is made up of certificates of
indebtedness called "Railway Aid
Certificates," amounting to $2,-
961,890.95, which have been issued
direct to the companies in payment
of donations made to them, and
"annuities," amounting to $2,-
908,150, which are issued for the
purpose of taking up the "Railway
Aid Certificates" as they mature,
the Province frequently not having
been able to pay certificates out of
current revenue as they fall due.
For several years past the railway
aid certificates maturing have been
paid out of current revenue, and
no "annuities" have been issued,
To the indebtedness of $5,870,-
040.95 outstanding on December
31 last must be added certificates
amounting to about $1,150,713,
now being issued to Mackenzie and
Mann, on account of the donation
of $4000 cash per mile to the Rainy
River road. This would bring the
total amount of the outstanding
certificates and annuities at the
present time up to about $7,020,-
753.95.
On the face of these certificates
And annuities no menton is made
PREVENTING OAT SMUT.
The Ohio Experimental Station
gives the following directions for
testing smutty seed oats :
"Having the solution made at
the rate of one ounce of formalin
to three gallons of water, well stir-
red, and a gallon .of solution to
each bushel of seed to be treated,
apply this with a sprinking can (or
sprayer) to the oats in piles on a
tight floor. Grain in piles should
not exceed about six bushels, and
the number of piles will follow from
the amount of seed. Sprinkle each
pile in turn, shovelling thoroughly,.
knowing how much solution is ap-
plied ; continue in each case until
the solution tends to run out on
the .floor despite the shovelling.
Usually a half gallon or more per
bushel may be sprinkled on the
first round, when the one pile is
passed for a few minutes while an-
other is handled in the same way.
Upon a second sprinkling of each
pile, as much solution is used as
will be held ; then with a third or
fourth repetition the gallon per
bushel may be used. After this,
shovel and leave in -low flat piles
over night, or for not less than
four hours. The seed may then
be spread thin on a floor and shov-
elled over occasionally to dry out
for drilling, or it may be sown wet
if broadcast. If in weather when
proper drying of the seed is secur-
ed, the treatment of the seed may
precede the time sowing by some
weeks. Seed treated in this man-
ner is not poisonous, though scarce-
ly suitable to be fed to horses."
Formalin retails at about 50 cents
pound.

Hon. John Dryden has been giv-
ing some sound advice to the mem-
bers of the Canadian Association of
Fairs and Exhibitions, which body
met in Toronto recently. He told
them that the agricultural societies
were not living up to their oppor-
tunities, and instead of progressing
they are declining. They are
making too much of the circus
features and neglecting to develop
the legitimate and serious side of
the fair. He puts it this way:—
"At shows where horse -racing
and worse are the attractions, di-
rectors see people rushing to the
ring -side, and exclaim : "That is
just what the people want." That
is where the directors make a
great mistake. People will rush
to see a dog fight when the first
one occurs in the neighborhood,
but they will not rush every clay to
see the same thing. It is so
with the horse -racing. People will
not go to see that and nothing else
year after year. The directors
who keep along this line will find
as the phrase goes 'that people do
not seem to have the interest in
shows they used to do.' .And the
end is ruin." Many people will
endorse the views of the Minister
of Agriculture, and the sooner so-
cieties take this warning into ser-
ious consideration the better.
