The legislative buildings will be placed on the site of the old Hudson's Bay fort, which was the capital of Wes- tern Canada in 1776. *x* -It is reported that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company will have over 600 miles under construction dur- ing the summer, and the Canadian Northern a like amount. Already the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Com- pany has about that amount of mile- age under construction, and the Great Northern Railway Company is plan- ning to extend its lines into Manitoba. *x* -According to an estimate publish- ed during last month, the output of the Cobalt, Ont., camp during 1905 amounted to 2,1.1.1 tons of all kinds of minerals made up as follows :-Silver, 2,441,421 ounces, valued at $1,355,306; cobalt, 118 tons, valued at $100,000; nickle, 75 tons, valued at $10,525 ; Ar- senic, 5-10 tons, valued at $2,693. There were 17 shipping mines in op- eration. -During March,1906, total revenue on Consolidated Fund was $7,255,187.- 44, compared with $5,926,187.83 in March, 1905, For the nine months ending March 31, 1906, the total was $41,706,380.76, compared with $38,720,- 365.82 a year ago. Total expenditure on capital account during March, 1906, was $1,15S,379.89, of which $670,078.38 was in connection with Public Works and Railways and Canals and $284,- 445.41 on bounties. * * * -A suggestion was made in the Municipal committee of the Legisla- ture last week that the Govern- ment should assert its right to tax the incomes of Federal Government civil servants and the sessional indemnities of members of Parliament and Sena- tors where the amount exceeds $1,500. This suggestion, which was received with favor by the committee, was made by Col. Clark, and steps will probably be taken in this direction at an early date, *x* -It is stated that the area devoted to sugar beet culture in Ontario will be greater in 1906 than in any previous year. Up to the middle of March over 930 growers, who had previously sign- ed contracts with the Ontario Sugar Company, renewed their contracts, representing an increase of 214 acres over contracts of 1905; 405 new grow- ers have also signed contracts, repre senting 732 acres, The company had already 250 more contracts for over 575 more acres than at the same date last year. *x* -In the Legislature, on Thursday a division of the House on the three- fifths majority necessary for local op- tion, resulted in a vote of 64 to 21, or a majority of 43, thus sustaining the Government by the largest majority of the session. This was the third di- vision of the. session. The first was on the County Councils Bill; majority, 38. The second took place on Ross' motion censuring the Government for the loan transaction ; majority, 40. The third division on the local option clause gave the Government a majori- ty of 43. Quite large enough. *** 1)r. Chisholm, the member for East Huron is not asleep at his post, as will be seen by the addresses he has given in the House, on several ques- tions of importance. This week, we take fr'out Hansard, his speech on the German surtax, as follows Ma, SPEARHR-I wish to say a few words in the line of the reinarks of the bon. gentlemen who have preced- ed me on this side, because I believe they have suggested a remedy for the evils our farmers complain of. I was sorry to see the Minister of Finance bristle up so defiantly, but perhaps it was the proper attitude for hint to assume when he had no other answer to make. He spoke about patriotism. Well, we believe that. patriotism is all right, but we have not much confi- dence in the patriotism which some gentlemen carry in their pockets. Now, I am here to look after the in- terests of my constituents ; I am here to look after their financial interests. This question of snt'tax and of Cana- da's commercial relations to the great German empire is something in which I am interested. The farmers of the western part of older Ontario have found for many years that they can- not compete with Manitoba and the west in the raising of grain. They have, therefore, been compelled to go into fruit, dairy and stock farming. Again, the scarcity of farm labourers during recent years has driven many of our stock farmers into what is now called grass farming. That is, they turn their farms entirely to pasture. They buy cattle in the spring, allow them to run on the grass all summer and then sell them in the fall. But during the last two or three years the cheaper ranch -fed cattle of the prairies have been brought east in thousands to be sold in the fall- and have thus caused a glut in the market and a low- ering of prices just at the very time that the so-called grass farmers of On- tario are compelled to sell their stock. Thus the Ontario grass farmers have been nearly ruined by buying cattle in the spring, when they are dear, and selling them in the fall when they are cheap. This has practically driven thein out of the business, so that they are compelled to depend on fruit, dairying and the raising of hogs. Fruit, however, must eventually be their mainstay, as it is the only line in which the west can never compete with them. Germany after Great Britain is the largest and best market in the world, not only for our fruit, but also for our dairy products and bacon, therefore, it is easy to see why the farmers of older Ontario are so deeply interested in the removal of the German surtax and the improve- ment of our commercial relations with that great intelligent manufacturing and food consuming country. Let us consider the apple crop as an example. Statistics show that the county of Huron on an average every year produces nearly two and one-half millions of bushels of apples, and it is estimated that this could be increased to seven millions from the same or- chards, if the trees were properly pruned, sprayed, scraped, cultivated and otherwise cared for. Those apples should be worth a dollar a bushel on the trees, if we had an effective, com- plete and continuous system of cold storage from the hand of the producer to the table of the consumer, season- able and proper facilities for transpor- tation and the full benefit of the Bri- tish and German markets. Something must be done to meet these changing conditions. New markets for our fruit, dairy products and bacon roust be secured, and more, we must be pro- vided with cheap sugar for canning purposes. It, is estimated that if it were not for the Canadian duty we could have one hundred pounds of good German sugar laid down whole- sale in Toronto for two dollars and eighty cents. Now, if we had this cheap sugar we could can all the ap- ples that were not of the high stan- dard required for export, and if we had free access to the German market we could export all the apples that were of too high a grade for canning. Why, then, not try to make some kind of a trade arrangement with Germany on the basis of the free ad- mission of German sugar into Canada in return for the free admission of Canadian fruit into Germany? We can afford it for we have a surplus. Canadians at present contribute to this surplus by paying duty on sugar to the amount of three million dollars a year, while Germany charges one dollar and fifty cents on every barrel of Canadian apples which now enter icer markets. It is, therefore, plain that if we could get the duty taken off German sugar in Canada, and at the same time the duty off Canadian ap- ples in Germany, our farmers would gain in two ways ; first, by buying cheaper sugar, and secondly by selling dearer apples. This would be a mutu- ally advantageous arrangement, and would be shnilar in its workings to the different trade treaties which Ger- many is now negotiating with other countries, The government of the United States has already made ar- rangements with Germany that the duty on apples shall not take effect in their ease until next June, and no doubt in the meantime will make fur - - -SVith great unanimity last session, was the Bill passed, raising the in- demnity to $2,500. Recently, the pro- posal to reduce it to the old figure, was cliseussetl in the Liberal caucus, and according to reports, there was a "waren time," and the Toronto World reporter says, that the Caucus broke up in a "row." Strange, isn't it? There was no "row" when the Bill passed ; everything was lovely and serene ! Why should there be any disturbance now? The Government has it in its power to return to the old figure, Just watch theta do it! There ther arrangements. Can our govern - \vas, however, a disposition to confine melrt not do something in this ]natter a the, pensions to these ex -Ministers, to put our Canadian f armel�s on final who make an affidavit, that they footing with those in the United really need it, What a crack for Mu- States ? lock, Sifton, Tupper and other weal- Moreover, the arrangement which I thy old chaps 1 i have proposed is not only liraoticsl and possible, but it is fully in ;teem( with the system of maximum and minimum tariffs, which We lir al in such well known protectionist coun- tries as Germany, the United States and our own I)oulinion of Canada. Again, we have hundreds of thousands of German settlers and voters in this Dominion, and they will be greatly pleased by the removal of this surtax. for if a German in this country wishes to purchase a Booker knife, or any of his favorite goods that have been manufactured in Germany, it is very difficult for him to understand why he must pay thirty per cent, more for these goods than if they had been manufactured in France. IIB is very likely to resent such a discrimination against his fatherland. I ]lope, there- fore, the government will consider this ]natter seriously, and that we will soon hear that the German surtax has been removed. A ROCK IN THE BALTIC. A Remarkable Series Of Adventures Resulting On A Naval Mistake. The careless firing of a new piece of ordnance by Lieut. Alan Drummond, of H. M. S. Consternation, while cruising through the Baltic, has led to a series of unaccountable and surpris- ing international complications. Drummond sighted a new gun on an apparently deserted bit of rock, and the Russian Government demanded an explanation from Great Britain. . The mystery of the whole affair - the presence of cannon on such a site, the anger of Russia and the import- ance given to so insignificant a mat- ter -worked on Drummond's imagin- ation, and in a ,rnoment of headstrong folly he went to Russia to investi- gate. A series of surprising adventures followed, culminating in a scene that defies description. The whole story is splendidly re- counted in Robt. Barr's great novel, "A Rock in the Baltic," which has just been purchased by The Mail and Empire, and is to be the first novel of the much -talked -of "$150,000 series" which this enterprising paper is to is- sue during the forthcoming twelve months. This series consists of twelve great novels by the most famous living Anglo-Saxon authors. The Mail and Empire, with its cus- tomary alertness, has secured the sole right in this district to publish these novels in serial form before they ap- pear in book form, which will afford its readers a literary treat never be- fore offered by any newspaper in America. No other paper in the city or vicini- ty can publish these great stories. Order in advance to avoid disappoint- ment, as the edition will be exhausted before all are able to buy. Com- mences on Saturday, May 5th, and each succeeding Saturday. These stories will also -'be published in the Weekly Mail and Empire, commenc- ing May 10th. BANS OF HA�IITON WINGHAM.
