Of these 100 were fatal and 251 resulted in serious injuries. ** • —According to Dunn's Review, Ca- nadian failures clueing the second quarter of 1000 totalled 245 in number, with liabilities of $2,295,355, compared with 270 failures for $1,611,066 liabili- ties in the corresponding quarter of 1905. —It is estimated that up to the be- ginning of July, 12,000 male immi- grants had been placed on Ontario farms during the present season. Of these about 5,000 were placed by the immigration department of the On- tario Government. ** ---The total imports entered for con- sumption during June, 1006, were val- ued at $32,920,981, compared with $28,030,808 in June, 1905, For the fis- cal year ending June 30, MK the total itnports were $290,342,408, compared with $201,911,485 in the preceding year. Total domestic exports during June, 1900, were $27,2t9,884, compared with $24,756,822 in June, 1905. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1900, the total domestic exports were $235,483,- 956, compared with $190,854,940 in 1905. In addition, foreign goods were ex- ported to the value of $21,102,674, corn - pared with $12,401,926 in the preced- ing year, - —The value of the products of the farm exported from Canada for the year ending June 30th last was a little over $120,000,000. That was a remark- ably good showing. But about two- thirds of this sum was required to meet the outgo of the Dominion Gov- ernment for the same time. ** —By the death of Mr. Bland seven seats are now vacant in the Federal House. They are—North Renfrew, St. Mary's (Montreal), East Elgin, Quebec County, Shelburne and Queen's (W. S. Fieldiug's riding), Gaspe (Que- bec). North Renfrew and. North Bruce vacancies were caused by deaths, and four by appointments, and Fielding was unseated. * * « —The unseating of Mr. Fielding, Minister of Finance in the Laurier Cabinet, is a curious example of the working of our election laws. A mem- her sits in the douse of Commons for over two years, is a Minister of the Crown, administers an important de- partment, and takes the Premier's place when Sir Wilfrid is absent, and then finds that he has no right to sit in the House at all. * * —During the month of February, there were issued 523 patents. Of these, 45 related to agriculture, 31 to fishing and hunting, 5 to lumbering and 121 to mining. There were 11 pa- tents concerning railway construction, 23 concerning building and 100 relat- ing to the metal trades. There were 25 electrical inventions, 15 relating to woodworking and kindred industries, 11 to printing, 4 to textile and 33 to clothing trades. There were 18 pa- tents relating to the preparation of food, and 1 to the Ieather trades. There were 21 relating to the railway service, and 56 to other means of trans- port. The remaining inventions con- cerned various miscellaneous. * —Of a total of 1,729 homestead en- tries made in June, in the Northwest, by persons coming from the United States to Canada, 516 were. from North Dakota, 411 from Minnesota, 107 from Iowa, 102 from Illinois, 80 from the State of Washington, 66 from Wiscon- sin, 63 from South Dakota, 59 from Michigan. 39 from Nebraska, 33 frau Indiana, 32 from Montana and 25 each from New York and Ohio. * * —Immigration work of the Salva- tion Army for the present year was practically concluded during July, the total number of immigrants brought to Canada this year being upwards of 12,000. The projected operations of the Army for the season of 1907 are said to include the bringing out of 25,000 British emigrants to Canada. It is also stated that the Church Ariny expected to send out 20,000 emigrants in 1007. hereinafter mentioned, pay annually, after the. expiration of the ctwrent calendar year, to the teacher, where there is only one, and to the principal teacher where there are more teachers than one, at least the suns hereinafter mentioned (subject only to a propor- tionate reduction in case the whole year's salary does not come due) that is to say; (a) $200 where the assessed value of the taxable property of the public school supporters in the section is at least $200,000 ; (h) $150 where such assessed value is at least $150,000 but less than $200,- 000 ; le) $100 where such assessed value is at least $100,000 but less than $150,- 000 ; (d) $50 where such assessed value is at least $50,000 but less than $100,- 000; 100;000; (e) $25 where such assessed value is at least $30,000 hut less than $50,000. And $100 to every assistant teacher, whatever such assessed value is. (0) The public school inspector shall have power to, and shall, suspend the certificate of any teacher in a rural school who agrees to accept a salary of less amount than is herein provided for, or who by rebate, deduction, donation, or other subterfuge accepts a less amount in settlement of his or her claim for salary. Tho inspector shall forthwith report such suspension to the Minister of Education, and the suspension shall be continued or dealt with as the Minister deems ex- pedient. (7) In the case of a union school sec- tion eation formed of parts of different town- ships, the sums herein provided to be levied and collected from the rdtepay ors by township councils shall he levied and collected as aforesaid by the several councils ont of the tax- able property of the pnblie school sup- porters of such union school section, each in the proportion which such taxable property within its jurisdic- tion bears to the taxable property of public school supporters in the whole union section. (8) In the case of a union school sec- tion formed of parts of different town- ships, the sums mentioned in subsec- tion 2 of this section shall be paid by the respective township councils in proportions to be fixed in accordance with the provisions of section 54 of this Act. • —The gross earnings of the C. P. R. for the last fiscal year were over sixty- one and a half million dollars, nearly one-third snore than for three years before. The net earnings were almost twenty-three millions, an increase of some seven million dollars as compared with 1903. So great were the earnings that the company was,able, after pay- ing all operating expenses and interest on bonded debt, as well as half -yearly dividends of two per cent. on prefer- red and three por cent. on common stock, to lay aside a surplus of over eight and a quarter million dollars. When it is remembered that much of the stock of the Canadian Pacific was obtained by its present holders at about twenty-five to fifty per cent. of its face value, it will be readily seen what a good thing the company has. —Hon. J. P. Whitney, Premier of Ontario, speaking at Bath, in England, recently, gave two reasons why he supported the Salvation Army, both in his individual and representative position. First, he believed in the good influences of the Army; second, because in its emigration work, in- stead of dumping then down in docks, the Army saw them straight into situ- ations. The Artny had a smaller per- centage of failures than any other or- ganization engaged in the work. This being the truth, it was right the truth should .be told. « —In 1870 the people of the 'United States paid $118,781,000 in interest on their public debt In 1895 the annual SCHOOL LAW CHANGES. There has been some misunderstand- ing as to the changes in the School Law. The following are the atneuded clauses as they now stand, and are thus given by Mr. Irwin, Inspector of Schools for Perth county 70.--(1.) The municipal council of every organized county shall levy and collect by an equal rate upon the tax- able property of the whole county (not included in urban municipalities or an- nexed to any urban municipalities for school purposes) according to the equalized assessments of the munici- palities, in the manner provided by this Act and The Municipal and .As- sessment Acts, a sum which shall be at least the equivalent of all special grants made by the Legislative As- sembly to the rural schools of the county, and such suin shall be payable to the trustees of the respective schools receiving such legislative grants in the same proportion as the said special grants are apportioned. (2) Where the assessed value of all the taxable properly of the public school supporters in any township of an organized county is at least equal to an average assessment of $30,000 for each public school section therein, the municipal council of such town- ship shall levy and collect by assess- ment upon the taxable property of the public school supporters of the whole township in the manner provided by this Act and The Municipal and As- sessment Acts, the sum of $300 at least for every public school where a teacher or principal teacher is engaged for a whole year exclusive of vacations, and a proportionate amount of such sum of $300 at least, where a teacher or principal teacher is engaged for six months or longer ; and the additional sum of at least $200 for an assistant teacher engaged for a whole year ex- elusive of vacations, and a proportion- ate amount of such sutn of $200 at least, where an assistant teacher is en- gaged for six months or longer. (3) Where such assessed value is Less than an average assessment of $30,000 for each public school section in any township, the municipal council of suck township shall levy and collect as aforesaid the sum of $150 at least for every public school where a. teach- er or principal teacher is engaged for a whole year exclusive of vacations, interest charge was $21,176,000. In 1j and a proportionate amount of said i (10) All motteys hereby required to be levied and collected and applied to the salaries of teachers shall be paid to the treasurers of the respective public school boards from time: to time as may be required by the school trustees.
