Ls 4. �vw. -The aggregate area of the British Empire is now nearly twelve million square miles, thus exceeding one-fifth of the land surface of the globe. The population is over four hundred mil- lion, or about that of China ; Russia, the third Empire in point of popula- tion, with about a hundred and forty million, stands far below. The area of Russia is less than 9,000,000 sqnare miles. * * -There are at the present time about 225,000 miles of electric cables lying on the bottom of the sea. Each line has cost on the average about $1,000 per mile to make and Iay. About 0,000,000 messages are transmit- ted by cable every year. The working speed averages up to 100 words per minute. The average useful life of a submarine cable, under present con- ditions, may be anywhere from 30 to 40 years. *4 -During the season of 1905, the ag- gregate production of butter in Cana- da, is estimated at 40,000 packages, with a total value of $48,000,000. 1.Vhen the value of Canadian cheese is added, we have a grand total •of $80,- 000,000. This does not take into ac- count the by-products, nor the milk and cream used throughout the coun- try. Canadian cheese still holds first place in the British market, but our butter has not yet reached so enviable a position, -The increased indemnity for mem- bers of the house of Commons will stand, notwithstanding the outspoken opposition to it in the country. Had the Government intimated such in- crease before the last election, it would not have been quite so bad, hut to help themselves so liberally imme- diately on obtaining a new lease of power, was rather barefaced. How- ever, the increase has likely come to stay. By a vote of 167 to 9, the mem- bers have so decided. The Premier admits that the pension clauses are open to amendment. 4 4 -Several of the Toronto papers give the following :-Now that the business of the Legislature has been concluded, the Liberals are talking among themselves of the dire necessi- ty of some measure of reorganization before the House meets again. A hack bencher of the Liberals said :- "Ross can't hold the boys, and the sooner be goes to the Senate with the rest of the has-beens, the better for Liberals in Ontario." It is said that A. G. McKay is to quit Ontario poli- tics, and run for the Dominion House as the successor of the present mem- ber, W. P. Telford. M. G. Cameron, Huron, is also to drop politics, as well as John Smith of Peel. A. general shaking up is looked for by the young- er members, who consider T. H. Pres- ton, Brantford, the character and stamp of roan to whom the people must look for efforts that will rehabi- litate the Liberal party. Among the Liberals it is a foregone conclusion that re -organization must take place before the next session in order to give the new leader a chance to get his bearings. • -The Toronto News no doubt voices the sentiments of a, majority of the electors of Ontario, when it says :- "The session of the Legislature which has just closed will stand in the annuls of Ontario as one of the most fruitful ever held. Not only was the number of bills large, necessitating a great deal of committee work, but the mea- sures fathered by the Government were of such a bold, straightforward, and piaindealing kind that they ar- rested public attention and awakened enthusiasm, not only among Con- servatives but among Liberals as well. Some of the snore important of these measures were : The Revision of the Mining Act, the Railway .Act, the Re- vision of the License Act, the Recon- struction of the Irniversity, the Power 13i11, and the General Hospital Bill. The Government also announced its intention of retaining the ownership of the (fillies Limit at Cobalt and :working the mines upon it for the piddle benefit, Through all the acts of the Government there has appeared a desire to defend public tights while not sacrificing the rights of individ- mals. Moreover, time bits boon no apparent feat of what any group of campaign contributors i batei s would say. Y 'neve is a refreshing novelty ahont this, and while, of eonrse, some of the legislation has been and wilt be vigor - °laity criticized, we believe that on the whole the Government hesdoneeplen- did work for 'tura Probinoe." ELECTRIC POWER GILL The "Power" Bill passed its third rending in the Legislature without a division. The Opposition Leader, Ron. G. W, Ross, attacked the Bill in Committee, and promised divisions of the House on it, but even the few fol- lowers he has in the House cotikl not be persuaded, to vote against a bill so manifestly in the interests of the pec - pre, With a numerically small Oppo- sition, and some of then refusing to follow their leader,i ft , it would it� ta as if Mr, Ross was losing the influence he had, and already a new leaflet' is. hinted at, one younger in years and more progressive in his ideas. Some of Mr. Ross' supporters declined to - vote against tate Bill, and declared their intention of supporting it. Hence, there was no division. The fact that there was no division of the House on so important a ,treasure is evidence sufficient that it is in the in- terests of the people. The following are the chief points in Hon.. Mr. Beck's Power Bill :--- 1-Permanent commission of three, one a Cabinet Minister, to hold office daring pleasnre of Government. Sal- aries to be fixed by the Government. 2 -Commission may appoint engi- neers and accountants, salaries to he paid out of moneys voted by the Leg- islature. 3 -Municipality may apply to Com- mission for plans and estimates of cost of ftunishiug power, but the Province shall not incur any liability to any municipality for errors or omissions in report,. 4 -Council may submit by-law to electors, authorizing the corporation to enter into contract with the Corn - mission, subject to the approval of the Government. 5 -After such approval Commission may proceed to deliver power to the corporation, to he used and distribut- ed upon terms and rates prescribed by Commission. 0 -Commission may enter into con- tracts with railways or distributing companies. Net profit to be applied in payment of cost of maintaining works. Commission may contract with railway companies for use of right of way for power line. 7-Conmee Act does not apply to any municipality receiving power from the Commission, and it shall not be necessary for the council to fix any price to be offered to any light com- pany unless the Commission shall direct. 8 -Commission may report to the Government designating lands, water privileges, works or plant which should be purchased, leased, expro- priated or developed, what quantity of product the Commission requires. 9 -The Government may, upon re- commendation of commission, author- ize the commission to acquire lands and works ; plant and property of transmission companies ; take power produced by companies, 10 -Whenever the Government shall direct, the Commission shall have powers and shall proceed in the like manner as is provided in the case of the Minister of Public Works, taking lands or property for the public uses of the Province. 11 -Cost of works shall he borne by the municipalities. 12 -In addition to price payable by any municipality, it shall pay its pro- portion of the following charges : (a) Interest at 4 per cent. on moneys paid by Commission on capital account; (..) annual sum sufficient to form in 30 years a sinking fund for the retire- ment of the securities issued by the Province ; (c) cost of operating, main- taining, repairing, renewing and in- suring works. 13 -Accountant of Commission shall annually adjust amounts payable by the municipalities to the Commission. 14 -Government authorized to raise by loan on credit of Province sutras re- quired for the purposes mentioned.l 15 -Commission to account to the Government for all moneys received. 10 -Complaints as to rates charged by light, heat and power companies, or that any municipality is making use of powers conferred for the pur- pose of granting bonuses by supplying power, light or heat below cost, will be adjusted by the Commission. 17 -Municipality subject to penalty of $100 for disobedience of order of Commission. 18 -Commission shall, when requir- ed by Government, investigate water powers in the Province.
