THE ONTARIO LEGISLATURE.
----Theodore Kmtppen, secretary of
Western Canadian Immigration Asso-
ciation, says that sixty thousand Ame-
ricans will find their way into Western
Canadatti year, tincrease
oftmi
try
per cenk over last year. Prejudices
against immigration to a country un-
der a monarchical forth of government
have almost disappeared. This is a
result of the experiences of American
settlers already here, who And that
the Gover•ntneut rests absolutely with
the people.
-Reports front the • Kenora (former-
ly called Rat Portage) district are to
the effect that wolves aro becoming
very numerous, and night travel is
rendered very dangerous, or almost
impossible. Large numbers of deer
have attracted the beasts, and it is felt
that the bounty should be increased.
Last week, Hon. Col. Matheson, Pro-
vincial Treasurer, paid a cheque for
$210 to Ernest Appleton, of Kenora,
for haring decapitated fourteen wolves
at $15 per each.
-A Washington despatch says the
War Department is making prepara-
tions to send another regiment of in-
fantry to the Philippines in anticipa-
tion of an outbreak in China, which
will necessitate armed intervention.
There is no effort at either the War or
State Department to conceal the fact
that the administration regards the
situation in China with grave anxiety,
and is deeply apprehensive of having
to make a campaign there in the
coming summer.
The second session of the eleventh
Legislature of Ontario opened on
Thursday, 15th inst., with the usual
show and ceremony. The Speech
from the Throne, as read by Lieuten-
and-Governor Clark, outlines consid-
erable legislation bearing upon the
welfare of the Province, and the ses-
sion promises to be one of the best, so
far as practical results are concerned,
that has been held for some time.
The session of 1905 took place soon
after the change of Government oc-
curred, and hence very little new work
could be taken up. Now it is differ-
ent; the Government -has had time to
look around, find out the needs, and
the electors will expect an intelligent
grasp of the needs of the province,
and legislation to meet the necessities
of the times. In this we do not think
they will be disappointed. So far the
Whitney Governmet has created a
good impression, and mucin will de-
pend upon this, the first session of
constructive legislation. As the To-
ronto News remarks -
"The Whitney Government has
done, on the whole, admirable
work for the Province. Large
measures of reform are to be in-
troduced during this session, the
Educational System is to be re-
vised, the Mining Policy is to be
more clearly defined, and generally
the members of the Administra-
tion seem to be devoted to the
public interest."
Among the subjects on which legis-
lation is promised are :-The Educa-
tional system, and in connection with
this, the appointment perhaps of a
Superintendent of Education, the re-
moval of the Model Schools, and other
improvements not yet definitely made
public. A forward step is to be taken
for the agricultural community. The
teaching facilities of the Agricultural
College are to be increased, and efforts
will be made to secure for the farmer
better results from the training that is
given. There are to be amendments
to the mining law, the details of which
have not yet been finally settled. The
municipal law is to be altered by the
restoration of the relations of Town-
ship to County Councils. There will
be important railway legisiation,nota-
bly a measure to control electric rail-
ways. A measure consolidating the
liquor license Iaw, and strengthening
its provisions, and a scheme having
relation to the taxation of railways
will be brought down.
The indications are, that the session
of 1906 will be full of practical legisla-
tion in the interests of the people.
Criticism will no doubt be offered, but
that will do no harm if conducted
with a view to improvement. At pre-
sent the outlook is for progressive,
practical and needed reform, for which
there is room.
-The official figures of tie live
stock exports from the United States
during 1905 show that during last year
total export of hogs amounted to 82,-
843, and of this number 67,739 cause to
Canada, or a little over 81 per cent.
Ira 1934 we only took 1,107 United
States hogs.

-Referring to the question of tariff
-
and the Tariff Commission, Mr. Bor-
den, leader of the Opposition, said re-
n y� Coillfort n Ralle�Vj1�1�ij longed than usefnd, and the Govern-
ment has been successful in getting
together a great many conflicting
opinions. They know as much now as
when they began, and there is very
general statement among the best
Liberals that a mistake was tnade in
embarking on so wide an enquiry."

-The Woodstock Sentinel -Review,
staunch Liberal though it is, has no
apology to make for the crooked work
done on behalf of the Liberal Govern-
ment of Saskatchewan in the late elec-
tion in that Province. The Review
says :-"Enough has come to light to
show the necessity for a full investiga-
tion. No political party can afford to
tolerate such conduct as the officials
are charged with, and, whoever may
suffer, it is the duty of those in au-
thority to see that justice is fully vin-
dicated. It is not a good beginning
for a new Province to make."
.�.
-The Ontario Government has de-
cided, beginning with the approaching
session of legislation, to bring down
the estimates before the budget
speech. They can then be thoroughly
discussed and disposed of in the earlier
part of the session in conjunction with
the public accounts, which it is under-
stood will also be distributed early.
This will obviate the waste of time
and the delays usual to the first two
or three weeks of the session. It will
also allow the latter period of the ses-
sion to be devoted almost entirely to
government and private legislation.

-The leading railroads of New Eng-
land have for a considerable time sold
a thousand books of utile tickets for
$20, 2c per mile. Up to a recent date,
these books were good only to the
person to whom they were issued, but
now they are made transferable. Thus
a man who buys a thousand -utile book
can now allow anyone he chooses the
use of it. Why should not Canadian
railways give the same privilege. In
many cases they have been bonused
and aided by a patient, tax -paying
public, and some concessions are due,
and would be appreciated by the tra-
velling public.
.:
-There will be a conference between
Hon. Nelson Monteith and represen-
tatives of the thirty-eight county
councils in Ontario on Friday of next
week, to discuss the new County
Councils Act, which was introduced
last session and laid over until this
one in order to give time for public
consideration of it. The main object
of the bill is to secure on county coun-
cils the presence of more men who
have had experience in township work
by providing that, they shall consist of
reeves and deputy -reeves. Large mu-
nicipalities will also be given more
reasonable representation than they
now have.

-The members of the Grange want
radical changes, and are especially se-
vere on the Senators. At a recent
meeting a prominent member said :--
"I
--
"I move, then, that we request the
abolition of the Senate." "We have
men there who couldn't get a seat in
any constituency in the country, who
couldn't even get a seat in a county
council, and yet they are there draw-
ing large salaries and are maintained
at agreat expense to the country."
The motion was heartily endorsed by
other tnerbers of the Grange and was
carried unanimously. It was decided
to recommend that the Dominion
Government be urged by the Grange
to rescind the legislation of the last
session regarding salaries, pensions
and indemnities. An annual expendi-
ture of $30,000,000 in Canada for 6,000,-
000 people was also condemned. The
County Councils were also pronounced
useless.

vastating as this concentrated destruc-
tion has ever been conceived in the
brain of than. It 18 impossible to pic-

-The Dominion Government, it is
announced, contemplates making int-
mediate improvements lit transporta-
tion facilities, both at the lake ports
and the ocean terminals. It has not
yet been decided whether they will
build the Ottawa and Georgian Bay
Canal or not. If they determine to
undertake that work, it means an ex-
penditure of front eighty to one hun-
dred millions of dollars, spread over a
period of years. An engineering diffi-
culty is in the way of the construction
of this canal, in providing sufficient
water at what may be called the
"summit" of the route of the canal, to
ensure a steady and continuous supply
for 21 -feet navigation. The building
of the new departmental block, the
estimated cost of which is to be two
and -a half millions, is to be deferred
for the present. This and other like
works must give place to important
and costly undertakings for the im-
provement of the transportation
routes. Lake and ocean terminals
roust be improved, and the Govern-
ment finds that the Transcontinental
Railway is an expensive proposition.
Only pressing public works, it is an-
nounced, will be proceeded with for
the present.
--Great Britain has Iearned lessons
from the naval battles in the Russo-
Japanese war, and has already, it is
said, put some of the knowledge
gained to practical account. Reeently
a new war vessel was launched that
eclipses anything afloat. She is called
the "Dreadnought," and in a sea battle

Dead Sick Of Asthma.
You couldn't be otherwise with such
a distressing malady. Well, for one
dollar spent on Catarrhozone you
can be thoroughly cured. Foolish to
delay, because asthma steadily grows
worse. Get Catarrhozone to -day and
cure yourself ; it's pleasant to use,
very supple, and guaranteed. Pre-
scribed by thousands of doctors and
used by the people of nine nations -
Certainly Catarrhozone must be good;
it hasn't failed yet, no matter how
chronic the case.
