The name of the new company is the "Inter- nationttl Harvesters' Geo," It com- prises the McCormick, Deering, Champion, Milwaukee Harvesting Co., and others, The capital of the new company is $120,000,000. —For the transportation of the Manitoba wheat crop, the 0, P. R. has an abundant supply of new box cars, and 55 new locomotives have been' distributed over the western division. This division has -liow close on to 10,000 box cars. Inte- rior elevator capacity along the C. P. R. has increased from 10,000,000 bushels to 16,000,000 bushels, and at the lake ports the elevator capa- city has been doubled. * * —Advices from all parts of On- tario, Manitoba and the North- west Territories foreshadow record- breaking grain and fruit crops, and advices from the United States point to immense wheat and corn harvests. The harvesting opera- tions are well under way in Ontario and the United States, and are be- ginning in the Canadian far West, If Providence grants three or four weeks of good harvesting weather the golden grain will be all garner- ed, and the basis of greatly en- hanced material progress will be established. * —The total capital invested in railways and canals in the Domin- ion of Canada is $1,100,000,000. In 1867 there was only 2,087 miles of railway track in the whole of Canada, while in 3901 it had in- creased to 17,824 miles. The first railway built in Canada was in 1834, covering a distance of ten miles, from La Prairie, opposite Montreal, to the American border in Vermont. This was among the first railways built on the Ameri- can continent. The oldest inhabi- tant in La Prairie has forgotten that such a road ever existed. The locomotive was a crude affair, and the engineer also performed the duties of fireman. The cars were waggon boxes without any cover- ing, with seats running across, and if it rained or the sun shone too hot, the passengers had to protect themselves from the heat or storm with umbrellas. Compare that primitive mode of travel with the luxurious Pullmans travellers ride in now -a -days. --It is generally admitted that a redistribution of the constituencies for the Dominion parliament will take place at the next session. By the British North American Act, the representation from Quebec was fixed at 65 members, and the unit of representation is ascertain- ed by dividing the population of Quebec, whatever the census shows that to be, by 65. Thus the in- crease of Quebec's population tends to lessen the representation from the other provinces. It is claimed .that, by the recent census, the pop- ulation of Quebec was estimated too liberally, while that of Ontario wap returned less than it really was, and there are indications that the charges are true. According to the late census, the population of Quebec, divided by 65, gives 25,367 as the unit, that is one member for every 25,367 persons. This will reduce the representation of Ontario from 92 to 86. In other words, this province loses six mem- bere, Nova Scotia two, New Bruns- wick one, Prince Etllward Island one. Manitoba is to gain three, the North-West Territories two, British Columbia one and Yukon one. The representation will then be as follows :— Quebec... 65 Ontario 86 Nova Scotia... 18 New Brunswick I3 Prince Edward Island 4 Manitoba 10 North-West Territories6 British Columbia 7 Yukon 1 Total 210 UNCLE SAM'S DRTNI(S. OVER A BILLION GALLONS YEARLY. For the first time the United States census office has made the manufacture of alcoholic liquors the subject of special inquiry, and the report contains some interest- ing facts and statistics concerning that industry never before present- ed. .It embraces wine, malt, and spirituous liquors, and finds the total consumption in the United States for 1900, the census year, to have been 1,325,358,004 gallons, or 17.3 gallons per capita of the popu- lation. Of this 1,198,602,104 gal- lons were malt liquors, 103,330,423 distilled liquors, and 23,425,507 wines, The totals show also 2,385 estab- lishments with an output of $500 value or mr o e for theear ' a capi- tal of $457,674,987 employed,whicch represents the value of land, build- ings, machinery, tools, and imple- ments, and the lure capital utilized, but does not include the capital stook of any bf the manufacturing corporations. The value of the pro- ducts is returned at $340,615,460, to produce whichinvolved an out- lay of $14,301,644 for salaries of of- ficials, clerks, etc. ; 828,005,484 for wages ; $183,09t1,796 for miscella- neous expenses, including rent, taxes, internal revenue, etc., and 870,512,042 for materials used, mill supplies, freight and fuel. It is not to bo assumed, how- ever, that the difference between the aggregate of these sums and the value of the products is in any sense indicative of the profits in the mannfacturo of the products during the census year. The cen- sus schedule takes no cognizance of the cost of selling manufactured articles, or of the interest in capital invested, or of the mercantile losses incurred in the business, or of de- preciation in plant. The value of the product given is the value as obtained or fixed at the shop or factory. The total value of the product is made up of 86,547,310 wines, 890,- 798,443 distilled liquors, and $237,- 269,713 malt liquors. ONTARIO CROPS. A. bulletin just published by the Ontario Department of Agriculture gives some statistics on the state and yield of the crops, which are pleasanter reading than might have been expected. From this it ap- pears that fall wheat shows an area of 748,593 acres harvested, the es- timated yield being 19,356,056 bushels, or 25.0 bushels per' acre. Spring wheat : 303,115 acres and )5,994, 695 bushels, or 19.8 per acre. Barley : 661,622 acres and 21,281,- 108 bushels, or 32.2 per acre. Oats: 2,500,758 and 105,540,510 bushels, or 43.2 per acre. Rye : 189,318 acres and 3,686,476 bushels, or 19.5 per acre, Peas : 533,639 acres and 11,363,345 bushels, or 21.3 per acre. Beans : 53,964 acres and 632,099 bushels, or 11.7 per acre. Hay and Clover : 2,646;202 acres and 4,955,438 tons, or 1.87 per acre. Other crops : Corn for husking, 371,959 ; corn for silo, 209,859 ; buckwheat, 93,324; potatoes, 144,- 733 ; 44,-733; mangels, 76,553; carrots, 8,- 625 ; tt'rnips, 136,725 ; rape, 49,- 573 ; flax, 7,101 ; hops, 2,237 ; to- bacco, 1,961 ; orchard, 356,251 ; vineyard, 14,028 ; red clover for seed, 135,390 ; alsike, 54,185. Ap- ples : 7,024,800 `trees of bearing age are estimated to yield 41,174,552 bushels, or nearly 6 bushels per tree. The chronic scarcity of labor at harvesting time has been again much in evidence this year. Extra help has been difficult to obtain, and wages have • a marked upward tendency. READ AND DIGEST. An errand boy carefully laying aside but three cents a day would have in fifty years (with 6 per cent interest) 83,000. .A. seamstress on but five cents a day would have almost' $5,400 to call her own. A. stenographer spending` fifty cents a week for candy would blow in $7,000. A clerk smoking ten cents a day would dissipate over 89,500. A laborer averaging two and a half schooners of beera day would in that time swallow $12,000. A shoemaker saving but fifteen cents a day could retire on $15,000. A mechanic on twenty cents a day would be worth 819,000. A store -keeper cutting expenses twenty-five cents daily and putting it away could rest in peace on $26,000. A lawyer on one hundred dollars a year would have $29,000. A doctor on one hundred and fifty dollars a year would be con- sidered wealthy with 43,000. A business man paying himself an extra salary of fifty dollars per month, or six hundred dollars per year, and putting it away as a sinking fund at 6 per cent., could give his business away in thirty years and live very comfortably for the rest of his days on over $225 per month, income from a $47,000 principal.
