-The Dominion %Government bas
five small steamers, and in the past
four years the cost of maintaining
these has been as follows
1001-2 $133,312
1902-3 182,000
19034 197,000
1904-5 294,000
If the same system of supply is fol-
lowed, as obtained in the case of the
Arctic, it is no wonder the cost has
more than doubled in four years.
There must be many leaks somewhere
in Canada's expenditure, at the tre-
mendous bounds with which it is in-
creasing.

-Canada's output of cheese for 1905
is estimated at 2,600,000 boxes or about
the same quantity as that of 1904,
while our butter production shows an
increase of about 65,000 packages, or a
total of 700,000 packages in all, which
means a total increase of value over
1904 of about $10,000,000, This, with
our bacon trade, which is so closely al-
lied with the dairy industry, of $15,-
000,000, snakes a total of $45,000,000.
This, with the estimated home con-
sumption of $50,000,000 worth of dairy
products, make a grand total of $95,-
000,000 which passes into the pockets
of the dairymen of Canada.

-There are reports of unnecessary
roughness in some places in playing
the national game of lacrosse. In
deed "roughness" is too mild a term
for some conduct reported, for it
amounts to brutality. The Markdale
Standard prints a letter from the prin-
cipal of Markdale school, in which it
is stated that in a recent game be-
tween Markdale and Meaford, one
player, while prone upon the ground,
was deliberately hit by another. It is
further charged that a spectator hit a
player over the head with a stick and
opened a gash from which the blood
Rowed over the face of the injured
man. This was followed by the as-
sailant in the latter case being knock-
ed down in turn. It has been advised
by some as follows :--"Let Provincial
constables be sent to a few of the coin-
ing matches, with instructions to
prosecute every man who deliberate-
ly aims a blow at another. This
would soon put a stop to the brutali-
ties so common.

-N. M. Cantin, of St. Joseph's fame,
appears as the projector of a. canal
from some point on Lake Huron
iprobably St. Joseph's) to a place on
Lake Erie. He says that he has suffi-
cient capital allied with him to finance
the project, which will be before the
House nest session. In the meantime
he will at once go on with the prelimi-
nary survey, on which $25,000 will be
expended. The length of the canal
will be 50 miles, depth 30 feet clear,
and its width 400 feet at the top,
There is to be only one lock, as Cantin
claims there is only a difference of
nine feet in the levels of the lakes.
The cost is estimated at fifty million
dollar. "The canal," says Cantin,
"will shorten the routes, now used bee
vessels plying between the east and
wet, from 400 to O 1) miles on a round
trip. by a safe and speedy channel to
all vessels plying between Chicago,
Dnittth, :Ent William and other ports
of Lakes Huron, Michigan and Supe-
rior, as well as ports east of Cleveland
on Lakes Erie, Ontario, and the St,
Lawrence River. It will save about
Dale -quarter of the time consumed and
avoid all delays from fog and shoals in
the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers, and
all dangers from collisions in the nar-
row parts of those rivers, or front
grounding on the shoals or flats in the
St. Clair River and Lake, and at the
litnekiin crossing in the Detroit
River."
SOME CAUSES Op VIE INCREASE,
tOttsava Joiuualf
When anyone hat asked why the
Datainic n Gc vernrent annual ex-
pendittite has inereiaae(1 to $90,000,0000
in ten years frunx 46,069,006 he is told
by Liberal vaii_€e in parliament and
the press that it is because Canada is
growing.
When a {4, T. Mex sin's prices for
supplies to a ti,rernfnent department,
are disclosed, toget'lerwith the prices
'toren paid foe tke goods to persons
feint .Whoux the Government could
more easily have bought tban from an
agent like Mervin, we find the Gov-
ernment paying doable prices to a
party middleman.
When an Arctic committee ex-
amines details in connection with
prices for goods for an exploring ex-
pedition, it is found that the Govern-
ment has been to a large degree pay-
ing doable prices to firms, morn -
mended for party reasons.
\S'hen a land purchase for the Inter -
colonial Railway is looked into, it is
founts that the Government has paid
double price iu order to give nearly
half the money to Liberal intermedi-
ary indivvidtt.at•1.
When horses, etc., are being bought
for another department, it is found
that the Government is paying an ex-
orbitant profit to an Ottawa Alder-
man, who facilitates operations by -
offering fur coats to the Govern-
ment officers.
When contracts are being made for
lighting and power for a Cornwall
canal, the Government is found agree-
ing to pay a great deal more propos,
tionately to a contractor who can be
liberal with campaign subscriptions,
than it cost the Govermnent itself to
light and operate the Soulanges Canal
next door.
When the expensive construction of
a wharf in an outlying Quebec: con,
stitttency is looked into, it is found
that there is no water there.
When arrangements for promoting
immigration are poked about, a dis•
covery is made that the Government
has been paying to parties unknown,
and who can't be found out, bonuses
up in the millions for a poor class of
immigrants, most of whom would
have come here anyway.
When Parliatnent under a Liberal
Government with a great majority is
looked at, its members are found in-
creasing their own salaries in 10 years
by 150 per cent. •
And so on, and so on. From all of
which sort of smoke, one is at Iiberty
to conjecture a heap of fire. In poli-
tics, as in other things, only a small
portion ever gets out.
Canada is growing sure enough, but
as a sufficient explanation of an in-
crease of $44,000,000 per year in an-
nual expenditure now in comparison
with 1898 -why, it is to laugh.
ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
The valve of good roads can scarce-
ly be overestimated. A country or
district cannot attain its full share of
prosperity unless and until the roads,
particularly the main roads, are
brought to a good condition. There
are many reasons for this which are
all bound up in one fact that history
proves it to be the case. Railways
and steamships will not take the place
of country roads. Were all traffic
over country roads stopped, freight
trains, lake and river shipping would
stand in idleness. The construction
of railways and harbors merely means
a greater need for good country roads.
The distinction between good roads
and bad roads implies that farming
will be profitable or merely "a living ;"
enjoyable or sluggish; progressive or
a hardship.
In view of the absolute necessity of
good roads as a part of the machinery
of agricultural, of wealth to the coun-
try and the individual, of prosperity
of the towns, there should be no ques-
tion of "worrying along in the mud."
Any farming country that is worth
living in, is worth the cost of building
good roads, and the only problem
should be as to the best and most
equitable way of procuring them.
The municipalities of Ontario are
every year becoming more progressive
in the matter. Some of these follow
the policy of making improvements
from. the annual appropriation as
rapidly as it will permit ; others have
taken a step in advance, and either
through county systems or locally
they are raising money by the issue
of debentures, to expend upon the im-
mediate improvement of the leading
roads.
Roads cannot be profitably improv-
ed by scattering small sums annually
on unimportant works. No work of a
thorough character can he under-
taken by this means. The result is
that in the aggregate a considerable
' sunt is spent annually with little per-
manent results. After a terns of
years nothing is to be seen for avery
large sum spent on the roads -or, it
would appear, stink in the mud,
Where the annual taxes are depended
upon for all road improvement, it
means either that the main roads
absorb the whole amount ; or that the
main roads are starved to benefit the
little travelled laterals. On the other
hand, to raise sufficient to at once
Macadamize ail roads in a township
would be burdensome. Some very
wealthy. communities may do so to ad-
vantage,
�caatage, but few municipalities in Ca-
nada have reached that stage as yet.
$food improvement is necessary before
that point ran be reached.
There is an intermediate course, a
union of the two methods; that is,
to construct only the most heabfly
travelled roasts by the issue of deben•
tunes. A moderate amount will do
this, and the payment can be extend-
ed raver at reasonable terns of years.
