-The Immigration returns given
out by Thomas Southworth, Director
of the Colonization Bureau of the On-
tario Government, show that during
1905 nearly 35,000 immigrants came to
Ontario, and of these nearly 30,000
were English-speaking.

-Canada's standing as a cheese -pro-
ducing country is seen from the fact
that the exports of cheese during 1005
from Montreal amounted to 2,121,101
boxes valued at $18,029,358. In ad-
dition, there was estimated to be in
stock in Canada an additional 450,000
boxes.
-W. Mackenzie, • of Mackenzie &
Mann, says that the Great Northern

The road is now built to Hawkesbury,
and surveys have been made along

his intention to do considerable rail-
way building in Ontario during the
coming summer.
raising the price of coal. It is esti-
mated that the last strike awong the
ruiners cost $25,000,000 of wages to the
miners, $50,000,000 of profits to the
operators, $25,000,000 loss in freight
to the 1'4W:oasis. Other items of loss
raised the total figures much over
$100,000,000, for the strike that lasted
a little over twenty-six weeks. Presi-
dent Mitchell estimates that four per-
sons are dependent on each miner,
and a national strike such as is plan-
ned would effect nearly 3,000,000 per-
sons, dependent on mining for bread,

-The department of Agriculture
and Immigration for Manitoba has
issued an official report dealing with
the most prosperous year in the his-
tory of the Province. The total grain
crop was 115,863,361 bushels Of roots,
8,241,297 bushels were raised, while
the total area under all crops was
4,256,838 acres. Already for 1906, 2,-
040,011 acres have been prepared for
crop. The immigration returns show-
ed a phenomenal influx of settlers,
many of whom were from the United
States. The report says: "The imuti-
gration to Manitobathis year was
the largest in the history of the Pro-
vince, showing a grand total of 55,600.
The returns show that 46,836 came in
the regular way, and that of the nutn-
ber who came in to assist as harves-
ters 8,764 remained, making the above
total."

-Professor H. W. Wiley, chief of
the chemistry bureau of the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture, estimates
that more than a million infants have
been sacrificed to the various concoc-
tions known as soothing syrups and
pain killers, and over twice that num-
ber killed by impure milk, especially
the canned article.

-For the fiscal year ended June 30
the total foreign trade of the country
amounted. to $465,228,307, compared
with $&04,981,972 in the preceding
year. Imports increased by over $10,-
450,000 while exports declined from
$19S,414,430 to $190,854,946, the chief
decline being in agricultural products,
manufactured articles showing a gain.

-Insolvencies in the Dominion of
Canada during the year 1905 were re-
ported as 1,347 in number, with assets
of $6,822,005 and. liabilities of $9,854,-
059. This is a slight increase in num-
ber as compared with the 1,246 in
1904, but the amount involved was
much larger in the previous year, as-
sets aggregating $8,555,875, and lia-
bilities $11,394,117.

-The Goderich Star has a good one
on the Toronto Star. In one of the
editorials of the latter paper, occurred
the following :-"They never felt as
St. Paul did when he said : "My bones
waxed old through my roaring," or
again, musing regretfully : "I have
been young and now grow old." The
Goderich Star bets a year's subscrip
tion that the writer of the article
never read anything of the kind from
St. Paul.

-During the last four months o
1905 the Ontario Government collect-
ed from patients in asylums in the
Province, whose relatives are able to
pay for maintenance of the unfor
tunates, $66,712. During the same
period in 1904 the collections under
the same head amounted. to $.36,589
Thus the additional revenue from this
one source in four months amounted
to over $30,000, most of it being ar
rearages, which the old Government
had failed to collect. And these ad
ditional collections were made with
out imposing hardships on anyone
simply by requiring relatives able t(
bear the burden to pay the cost o
maintaining their own unfortunates

-A. writer to the Christian Herald
points out the need of sending assis-
tance to the Japanese in the time of
the famine existing there. The Her-
ald endorses the appeal, and says :-
"Not only our own land, but the
whole civilized world is debtor to the
gallant island nation which saved
China from disruption, and for the
second time in history swept back the
wave of conquest which- threatened
to engulf all Asia, and transform the
destiny of one-half the world. Now,
after all of Japan's patriotism and sac-
rifices, cruel famine has come to sad-
den the nation. It has come at a time
when the resources of the island em-
pire, sorely taxed by the war for free-
dom and national existence, are at
their lowest. Japan is too proud to
publicly proclaim her need at the
present time, and we must honor her
the more for it ; bat her officials
frankly admit the existence of the
famine, and acknowledge also that
any food which a friendly nation
might send to the afflicted provinces
would be most welcome."

least has been made out against the
deputies. If the charge is made good
it would scent to include practically
all the .possible crimes against the
sanctity of the ballot -a -personation,
plugging, forgery and perjury. The
effect of the crime, if the statements
made are true, was to enable these
three men and their aids to falsify the
verdict solemnly given by a whole
electoral constituency. A. crime such
es that is not less heinous than the
attempt of a minority to overturn a
duly established Government by arm-
ed rebellion. For such an offence a
$200 flue is a grotesque farce.

-A deputation front the Dominion
Alliance waited upon the Ontario
Government recently, asking for the
abolition of the bars. In reply Mr.
Whitney said the government felt it
to be their duty to be ready to listen
at any time to representations on this
question. For himself, he would not
admit. that he stood second to any
person in the country in his apprecia-
tion of the evils resulting frotn the
drink tariff and his desire to minimize
them. From frequent statements
corning from various sections of the
comumnity that the government was
allied with the liquor interests, and
other statements that the government
was allied with the temperance peo-
ple, he felt. justified iu concluding that
the present course of the government
must be about right. From time to
time, Mr. Whitney said, there would
be amendments to the act, but the
government had to keep in mind the
policy announced by the Conservative
party before the general elections of
1905. The goverume.nt had .no man-
date to abolish the bars as requested
by the deputation. It was not neces-
sary any longer for anyone to point'
out the evils of the drinking habit ;
the question was how to ameliorate
the evils, and the government would
do everything that commended itself
to their judgment to advance the
cause ' of temperance. This was in
accordance with their course while in
opposition, and they 'would do all they
could to minimize the evils of the
liquor habit.;
-The fact that Dr. Beattie Nesbitt
resigned. his seat in the Legislature
on account of ill health and accepted
the Registrarship at $6000 a year,
leads Saturday Night to refer to the
matter in the following little piece of
sarcasam:-"How precarious a thing
is the health of our statesmen 1 Many
examples could be cited. To -day they
are doing prodigies in the front of
battle -to -morrow, lax, spent, broken,
they are fit only to earn $10,000 a year
on the bench or $6,000 in the plush
quiet of a registry office. How decep-
tive, too, is health -or, rather, how
false a front can ill -health wear when
it wills, for some of the frailest -look-
ing men are in the Senate at the age
of eighty, while men with the mea-
surements of gladiators have had to
resign this, that or the other position.
Let no one make light, however, of
the hidden infirmities of the seeming-
ly stalwart and robust man, for, un-
fortunately, there are cases, within
the recent knowledge of all, which go
to show that a man's lease of life can-
not be judged by his rugged appear-
ance. Moreover, a man may be gen-
uinely ill and yet handle competently
any salary placed opposite his name.
It is a fact in physiology that should
be taught in the schools."

-The Dominion Government is ask-
ing Justice Burbidge in the Exchequer
Court to make an order compelling
this province to pay $1,362,935. The
claim arises out of the Dominion's
treaty with the Salteaux Indians in
1873, known as the Northwest Treaty
No. 3. By it 47,000 square miles of
land were bought from the Indians.
It is situated between the watershed
of Lake Superior and the northwest
angle of the Lake of the Woods and
the American border to the watershed
of Hudson Bay. For this land the
Indians were given $12 for each per-
son belonging to the tribe; $1,500 per
annum for the purchase of twine and
ammunition for fishing and hunting,
two hoes, a spade, one axe, one cross-
cut saw, one hand saw and other arti-
cles for each family cultivating the
soil, and many other articles. Each
chief was to receive $25 a year and
each subordinate $15 a year and a suites
of clothes every three years. An av-
erage of 2,471 Indians every yas have
been beneficiaries. The number with-
in the territory ceded to the Govern-
ment. and outside the province is 131,
The Dominion Government are suing
to recover the amount paid to the
Indians within the province. The
ease has been adjourned until March.
