--It is reported, on what seems.
be good authority, that the Onta
Government is preparing regislati
to be introduced at the fortheonri
session, for the purpose of providi
for the levying of a royalty on the
output of Ontario mitres, It is to be
hoped the report may prove well
founded, The Government will cer-
tainly be derelict in its duty if it fails
to see that wealth which is being de-
veloped largely by the aid of a rail-
way built by Ontario taxpayers is not
compelled to bear its fair share of the
public hardens.
—Tho largest wood supply left in
the world is in Canada, with 793,133,-
080 acres of forest land, but the whole
surplus of Canada goes to the United
States. It seems that within a ten-
^ tory the scarcity of wood will be felt,
and since it takes from 80 to 100 years
to grow large trees it is evident that
the time for vast reforestation the
world over has already come. The
coal supply, which some geologists
allow no more than 150 or 200 years,
cannot be replaced, but there is a, vast
part of the earth's area that can be
most profitably employed for tree cul-
ture.

—During the two months and a half
after April 18 San Francisco was, says
the New York Outlook, probably the
most orderly large city in the United
States. Violence and crime were
practically unknown, During that
time the saloons and liquor stores of
the city were closed. tight. About the
middle of July the saloons were per-
mitted to open again. For the past
three tnontlhs San Francisco has been
living under a region of terror. In
eighty days eighty-three murders,
robberies and assaults were registered
on the police records. The police
have been and are powerless to pre-
serve order and protect the city.
—The grand jury at the Toronto as-
sizes, in its presentation, said:—
"We must express our amazement
at the low sense of honor existing
amongst the electors, as revealed in
the evidence of the perjury cases, and
from the numerous election suits aris-
ing from time to time in widely divid-
ed parts of the Dominion. It would
seem as if all the electorate was taint-
ed, void of all sense of honor, and as
if the end in all cases justified the
means. We beg to suggest that a law
be formulated in which the receiver
will be punished as well as the giver,
and that severe penalties should be
meted out to all participants in politi-
cal corruption, as would debar and
prevent repetition of such deplorable
scandals."
According to the Globe's report, Judge
Teetzel ''agreed with the jurors that
it was a lamentable thing that so
many prominent citizens should fur-
nish such low ideals for the younger
generation."
—The aggregate railway mileage
under contract for construction or in
immediate prospect in the United.
States and Canada is more than 22,000
miles. The aggregate of cash to be
used in this construction and in the
great projects of the American trunk
line railways is more than $$750,000,000.
If the entire gold production of the
world in the two greatest gold years
of history were applied to this con-
struction it would fall far short of
meeting it. In Canada. the total mile-
age projected is the heaviest in the
history of this country. Taking the
ast with the \Vest, four great cone -
ides contemplate the construction

et, the year 1000 and 1907 are practi-
ally certain to go down into history

re railway history of the Western

--"The Ontario Government is ask-
ing for an enlargement of the pro-
vince. The present boundary between
Ontario and Manitoba is on the 05th
meridian, west longitude. Ontario's
northern boundary is now the Albany
River, It is proposed by Ontario's
representatives to divide 1 eeivatin by
running this boundary north on the
9.ith rnetidian to the Churchill River,
the middle of which would form the

the two provinces, giving both a safe

PRINCE RUPERT HARBOR.
Terminus Of Grand Trunk Pacific.
P. M. Bredt, of Regina, Dominic
government and
of agencies an
foreign colonies, has been on an ex
tended tour, and has this to say:—
"I have this year repeated, my west
coast trip, this time extending it as
far as Skagway, It is certainly the
most picturesque country one could
imagine, We were delighted and sur-
prised at its grandeur, it is like sever-
al Norways in one wonderful pano-
rama. Among many other changes
for the better that I noticed was that
of the improved condition of travel.
The boat in which we made the trip
was commodious and comfortable,
luxuriously fitted with the latest im-
provements with the additional re-
commendation of good cuisine and at-
tendance, a good seaboat, a genial
commander and pleasant and capable
officers. We were fortunate enough
to have as fellow passengers, Presi-
dent Hayes of the Grand Trunk Paci-
fic railroad. We had thus the chance
to visit Prince Rupert. In my
opinion it is an ideal location for the
teraninus and the harbor is unsurpass-
ed on the coast. At present the hyd-
rographic survey is still incomplete
and mariners euter for the first time
with natural caution but once having
made the entrance they say that they
would have no fear about entering at
any time. While we were there the
weather was very stormy with a
nasty sea running outside. Inside,
bowever, it was perfectly calm, ' the
position being well protected from the
prevailing winds.
Certainly there is room there for a
great city and Digly island would
make an ideal suburb or summer re-
sort. Communication would have to
be by ferry I think, though the divid-
ing passage is narrow and the dis-
tance short ; not greater than between
North Vancouver and Vancouver
city, if as far ; it would be practically
a part of the city.
There is plenty of activity in evi-
dence at Prince Rupert; houses for
the engineer's are being rapidly con-
structed and gangs of men arc busy
clearing land for the township. Al-
ready there is a very serviceable
wharf which they intend to extend
immediately and everything seems to
point to quick development.

The searchlight was turned for a
long time yesterday upon the memor-
able McLean -Holmes election of 1899,
in West Huron, and evidence obtain-
ed corroborative of the tale told by
J. G. Pritchett. It was to be remark-
ed, however, that few of the witnesses
who told of the proposition for the
switching of ballots or the substitu-
tion of hops ones, were able to re-
cognize Pritchett in court as the mas-
