Ebttariai —The Western Union Telegraph Company, of which the Great North- Western of Canada is a connection, has a total wire mileage of nearly 12,000 miles, with 23,814 offices. Its receipts last year were upwards of $29,000,000, and its revenue over work- ing expenses upwards of $7,,300,000. * * --Michigan will, in ten years, be en- tirely stripped of forest. Fifty years ago Michigan was the greatest forest State in the Union, but the work of stripping has been going on continu- ously since then, and in a few years Michigan itself will depend for its lumber on the forests of the Pacific slope or Louisiana. * * —A bill which contains promise of a sweeping measure of reform was in- troduced in the House of Commons. The bill will compel railway companies not only to admit all telephone lines to their stations, but will place the control of telephone rates in the hands of the Railway Commission in same way that freight and passenger rates are now controlled. . * --Fishermen who fish in Ontario waters first must supply the Canadian market. After that the government is indifferent as to the disposition of the surplus, This was the effect of the reply made by Hon. H. Reaume, Minister of Public Works, to a depute- , tiou of commercial fishermen from Bronte, Port Dalhousie and Winona, which waited on him and asked for the power to sell fish where they pleased and some other privileges in regard to the size of meshes and nets. --Mr. Smith, of Pe• el, bas introduced into the Legislature a Bill to give the franchise to widows and spinsters who are otherwise qualified. There was some merriment when the Bill was announced, but the Premier said it was a matter that should be treated seriously. If widows and spinsters are intelligent enough to vote munici- pally, they should be qualified also to cast a parliamentary vote. We see no reason why they should be de- barred. It is not certain, however, that the measure will become law. *�* —The Hamilton Times says : The general - feeling of dissatisfaction among the seven hundred license holders from all over the Province, after the interview. with Premier Whitney and Provincial Secretary Hanna regarding the proposed new liquor Iegislation, indicated that the hotel men are after the Government's scalp. The deputation from the Ham- ilton association, which expressed its views before Mr. Hanna, last week, felt confident that while the Govern- inent would not reduce the high Ilicense fee, the request for longer hours would be granted. The Pro- vincial Secretary blasted these hopes by a positire and emphatic—"No." The result in Hamilton will be that fire cent whiskey will probably be ten cents, and the ten cent drink, fifteen cents. *K* —A Bill has been read the second time in the Legislature, the purpose of which was to make illegal the habit of implement companies, selling to farmers, putting in the contract a clause providing that alt legal disputes must be dealt with in the locality of the head offices of the company, there- by often forcing an unjust settlement, the farmer being unable to bear the expense of transferring his witnesses, etc., to the centre in question. A ease was mentioned in which a number of farmers had, through misrepresenta- tion, been persuaded to sign a note for $1,100, believing it to be a requisition They had to go all the way to Stmt for trial, and the costs to them were $1,070 over and above the $1,1011. A'' strung plea for liberal and just eon sideration of the fanners' side of this irape t att matter, was made by mens- i hers of the Legistatur e. The Bill was kat ut3, eeetl by 31r. Lucas. * i[ Se11&nz las a party and its leader' in any Degeslature tut the sorry figuie air. Bess and the opposition have' dc,te in the Legislature, firer the Tern - 1 is ai ing lean issue.

But Messrs. Boss and Harcourt have been too gager and reekless in their methods. To -day - they have reached an even lower depth of political humiliation than any they have hitherto occupied. While criticising 31r. Matheson's loan at 00, proof was lirodueed that when in office they were willing to accept a far iower figure, that would have netted the province $100,000 less. * ---l'de. lMeNatight's Anti -Treating 13111 came up for its second reading last week, and many of the members expressed themselves in favor of the Bill. The Premier joined with mem- hers on both sidesin 1e ret!]gthe evils of treating, but was inclined to rely more on the educative influences of such a discussion than on any good effect from a prohibitory late in the present state of public opinion. A •suggestion he made was for the form- ing of anti -treating associations, and in any ease he urged that, the subject should be kept before else public con- stantly. He hoped that though the Bill might not now become law, that the subject would not be dropped for- ever. There is a general opinion among members of the Legislature that the discussion which has been evoked by the Bill, more outside than within the chamber, will have eon- siderable influence in veering public opinion in the direction of opposition to the custom. *�* --It is evident that the present ses- sion of the Legislature is to be a "business" session. The Whitney Government has taken bold of the opportunities that presented them- selves, and by so doing have strength- ened themselves with the general electorate of the province. Before they took office, it was fashionable for Liberal papers to sneer at Mr, Whit- ney and his associates, and even in- sinuate that they lacked the "brains" necessary to a proper administration of 'the affairs of the province. The legislation of this session and the policy announced has convinced even the Toronto Globe, and for a few days that paper had loud praise for Pre- mier Whitney regarding his policy concerning the Gillies limit and apro- posed new railway. The fact is --that people appreciate a leader who carries out his promises and shows business- like activity. Prior to the election, a favorite cry was "Whitney has no policy." This session so far has been a complete refutation of that silly statement, While Mr. Whitney and his assistants continue to develop and conserve the resources of the province, they will deserve (and no doubt will receive) loyal support of the electors of Ontario. *�* —One day last week the new tower, known as the Laurier tower, on the Parliament buildings, Ottawa, fell with a tremendous crash. Fortunate- ly no one happened to be nearitand no loss of life occurred, but the con- tractor will lose about $10,000. Mem- bers of the House with practical ex- perience in building, expressed the opinion candidly that after an ex- mination of the ruin, they were con- vinced that the building was alto- gether of faulty construction ; that the mortar is little better than wet sand; that there is no bind between the filling and the brick lining and outer wall, and, as one member puts it, the wonder was it had stood as long as it had. Dr. Chisholm, of East Huron, held that this was one of the occasions when a. man of practical ex- perience in building should not hesi- tate in giving his views to the House, and, as a practical builder, he would give it as his opinion that there was not a farmer in Ontario who world accept such a job if he were pntting up a cow -house. Dr. Sproule said if this bad work was done here under the eye of department officers, what was happening in remote districts, where scores of Government works were going on ? He submitted sam- ples of material composing the filling, declaring that there was no trace of cement orsalime. The building was simply stuffed with common sand. He said—"The Laurier tower was cotnposed of the same class of materi- al as the Laurier party was. There was a good deal of sham about it, and it lacked the elements of union neces- sary to cement together." A PROGRESSIVE POLICY. The Ontario Government has decid- ed on a strong, progressive policy in two particulars. The first has reference to the min- eral rights along the Terniseanting railway between sections 101 and 105, comprising about 31 miles, For min- eral rights along this strip, tenders will be received subject to the follow- ing conditions :— "1--A tents#. of $500 per year for - the use of land occupied by buildings - outside of 99 feet of right of way ; this land to be used for the purposes of buildings only. "2—A bonus of $10,000 in cash de- posited with the Government. "3 --The payment to the Govern- ment of ten per cent. of the gross out- put of minerals, the value of whish is $400 per ton or lets ; twenty-five per cent, of the gross output where the ore is worth over $400 and under $1000, Or ton cent. dn ; , and fif ty per' the groes output tvhete value exceeds $1,000 per ton." In speaking to the announcement the Premier intimated that if offers above this were received they would be considered, but anything feet[ would receive no attention, The world part Of this progressive policy has referents to the ones s tirn- bvr limit, This fiat oonsi*tr of 100 square mites, iu the form of a triangle and the apex runs into the organized township of Coleman, to within half a mile Of the torn Of Cobalt. The min- eralized portion of the limit, consists or about three square miles. It was withdrawn from prospecting on Aug. 14, 1005, and at the pl:esent time the timber is being removed by the Bin- pire Lumber (o npauy, of Latchford, who bought it. The whole limit was sold to the Gillies Bros. two years ago by Booth ar. Lumsden, for $750,000, The oet•put of the seventeen working mines hs the Cobalt disti tet last year was se -Silver, 2,441,421 °tutees, of the value of $1,355,200; cobalt, 118 tons of . the value a$100,000; it in a • i eld'tio r i to arsenic and nickel. The Premier has announced in the Legislative that this Unlit, so rich in minerals, will not be disposed of, but as it belongs to the people, the Government will develop it for the benefit of the people. In time, this progressive policy will no doubt bring forth millions of dol- lat•s, which if wisely expended in colo- nization roads, agricultural and ecln- eationaI interests, will be of incalcula- ble benefit to the province. The policy thus enunciated is one of the most radical, most progressive and probably also one of the most popalar ever promulgated by a Government in Ontario. The Toronto News says—"This poli- cy, announced by Premier Whitney, ranks in importance equally with the railway legislation which hitherto has been the outstanding feature of the session. It seems that the Whitney Government is emphatically a public ownership Administration, able aucl willing to break new paths in states- manship." —Mr. John Strath, whose early home was on the 2nd eon, of Culross, and who for nearly twenty years has lived at Holyrood, has moved with his wife and family to the Northwest. On the eve of their departnre they were presented with a purse of money and an address expressing good wishes by a number of friends at Holyrood Literary meeting.
