—It is estimated that npwerds of
50,000 men will be required for railway
construction and repairs in Western
• Canada this season,
*
; —The membership of the Ontario
i Legislature is now complete, Thomas
i Crawford, of Toronto, is Acting -Spea-
ker for the rest of the session, owing
, to the illness of Hon, J. W. St. John.
***
—It is proposed that the salaries of
' the Ontario Ministers of the Crown be
increased by two thousand dollars
• each, That will give the premier
$10,000 and the other members $7,000
each.
* *
—As instances of the growth of
western towns and cities during 1906,
we may note the following :--In Win-
nipeg there were 4,170 buildings erect-
ed at a cost of $12,760,450 ; of these,
1,500 were dwellings. Brandon erect-
, ed 180 buildings, valued at $698,672;
Moosejaw, 260 permits, value $814,820;
Calgary, 305 buildings, worth $1,109,-
102; Edmonton, 930 buildings, at a
cost of $1,809,069. In Vancouver, the
value of the buildings erected was
. $4,233,910.
* *
--Hon. Mr. Emmerson stated recent-
. ly that $23,879,702.82 had been expend-
ed on the canals of Canada from 1897
to 1906. During that period $3,700,000
had been spent on the Trent Valley
canal alone. The approximate cost of
completing the Trent Valley with an
eight foot level from Lake Simcoe to
Georgian Bay, would be about $1,500,-
000, and from Ilealy's Falls to Trenton
$3,000,000. Regarding Canadian rail-
ways, the Minister said that in 1906
the total mileage was 21,518, an in-
crease of 5,131, miles over 1806.
—According to*a report issued by
the Manitoba Immigration and Agri-
culture Department to the provincial
legislature during February, the crop
of 1900 was the largest in the history
of the province. About 130,000,000
bushels of grain were gathered by
some 45,000 farmers. The expenditure
on farm buildings was $4,515,085, an
increase of $500,000 over the previous
year. An official estimate of the 1900
crop of Saskatchewan places the total
at 37,000,000 bushels, an average of
20.4 bushels an acre, and an increase
of 11,000,000 bushels in the total yield
over 1905.

•
—An argument before the Commit-
tee on Privileges and Elections of the
Saskatchewan Legislature, on the
northern polls fraud, was listened to
by the Legislature on Thursday after-
noon. Witnesses showed that except
for a dozen or so Indians, there were
not five qualified electors in the polls
of Bear Lake, Sandy Lake and Pine
Point, in which polls 141 bogus ballots
robbed. S. J. Donaldson, provincial
rights candidate, of his seat. The
committee sent a wire to Returning
Officer Sinclair, telling him he must
be present to -day or face the conse-
quences.
*
—Hon. Dr. Reaume has introduced
a hill into the Legislature for the im-
provement of public highways. This
measure provides that, since by the
system adopted this year county coun-
cils are composed of the reeves and
deputy reeves of townships, a by-law
passed by the county council will be
sufficient to permit the adoption of a
county system of roads. In the past
the consent of all the townships was
required. The measure also permits
towns and incorporated villages, not
separated from the county, to claim a
share in the government grant of one-
third of the cost of county systems of
roads.
-Rev. T. Albert Moore, the Field
Secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance,
reports that preparations are being
made to haunch a strong campaign
against the railways in connection
with the enforcement of the new
Lord's Day Act. The main difficulty
arises over freight trains, which shay
start at a minute to twelve on Sat-
urday night and continue on their
journey till their destination is
reached, bat at intermediate points
the train cannot be broken. ',The
Secretary claims that if the Act was
adhered to about 100,000 men 'tivlto
are at present working seven days a
week, would bo given their rest day.

--- In Canada at least, those who
make free with other people's money
find the truth of that statement in
the Good Book, that asserts—"The
way of the transgressor is hard,"
Manager McGill, who wrecked the On-
tario Bank, now Ianguishes in the
Kingston penitentiary. In the same
prison will now be fouud Jas. Phillips,
wrecker of the York Loan. There
also has been taken John F, Dnncan,
manager of the Bank of Commerce • at
Ayr. There is a feature about Cana-
dian law, in connection with these
cases, that should prove a salutary
lesson to all similarly inclined to either
speculate with, or appropriate, other
people's funds. When these men
serve their sentences they should be
wiser for the experience gained.
*
—It is stated that building during
the coming season will be more expen-
sive than last year, owing to the high
price of woodworking materials, in-
cluding lumber, lath, shingles, and
floorings, which have advanced during
the past few weeks by from 5 to 15 per
cent. At Toronto, Ont., hemlock joist-
ing delivered on the job quoted at $19
per thousand feet is now held at $21
to $22. British Columhia shingles
have advanced 25 cents per thousand ;
spruce lumber quoted last year at $28
is worth $30, and pine quoted $30 to
$35 last year is held at $35 to $40 per
thousand. In British Columbia the
scarcity and high price of logs, and in
the other provinces the general low-
ness of stocks at the mills, coupled
with the great demand, were held re-
sponsible for the recent advances.
Plumbing supplies were also upwards.

--For the first time in Philadelphia,
transfusion of blood was resorted to
on Friday last to save the life of a pa-
tient. Mrs. Peter Anderson was dy-
ing from anaemia in the Polyclinic
Hospital. The doctors decided on a.
bold stroke to save her Life, and the
husband of the dying woman cheer-
fully permitted a quantity of his blood
to be pumped into his wife's veins.
The woman was brought back to con-
sciousness, and now has more than a
fighting chance for complete recovery.
Anderson himself, though weakened
by the loss of blood and the ordeal of
the operation, soon rallied, and bids
- fair to be himself again in a feiv days.
Anderson was anesthetised, and the
pulse artery in his left arm was sever-
ed. The large vein in Mrs. Anderson's
left arm was severed and the artery of
her husband was inserted in the in-
cision. For an hour the man's heart
pumped blood into his wife's veins.
Then the arteries were loosened and
the proper connection made,
***
—Some time ago, Mr. Fowler, M,P.,
made, upon the floor of the House of
Commons, a threat, that if certain
members did not cease their insinua-
tions, he would expose some members
on the other side of the House in their
dealings with "wine, women and
graft," Last week, Mr. Bourassa, M.
P. (Liberal), moved for an investiga-
tion of these charges. Premier Lau-
rier took the ground that the charges
could not be investigated, unless they
were more specific, and the motion
was voted down. Mr. Borden, leader
of the Opposition, made two points
very clear—(1) that be would make no
arrangement under which any charge
of wrong -doing would be hushed, and
(2) that he would insist upon inquiry
into all accusations against members
of parliament, whether made against
Conservatives or Liberals. In the
atter of the Fowler scandal Mr. Bor-
en insists upon full investigation in
he interest of the public, without re-
ard to the consequences to either
arty. The motion made for investi-
ation having been voted down, the
ccusations made by Mr. Fowler, M.
., remain as a load for the Ministry
carry. Possibly such awful charges
ere never hurled across the floor of
ny Parliament. To vote down inves-
gations does not seem wise, even
oni a political point of view, and will
nd to make the Ordinary reader be -
eve that there is foundation for the
ensations, and that investigation
as feared.

—Section 12 of the .Act amending
the School Act of last session, requires
that the township councils must col-
lect for school purposes an amount
equal to the amount of Iegislative
grant apportioned on the basis of
equipment. Where a township has
an equalized anneal assessment of
$30,000 for each public school section
it must reserve at least $300 for each
principal teacher, and $200 for each
assistant. Where the assessment is
less than $30,000, and in townships in
the territorial distriets, $150 must be
raised for each principal teacher, and
$100 for each assistant. This money
must be applied to salaries only.

Clinton, in common with several
other towns, is suffering from a .'loose
famine which is to a considerable ex-
tent retarding the progress of the
place. At least twenty new houses,
which wonhi, rent at from seven to
twelve dollars per month, would
speedily find tenants.
On Wednesday evening, Nat', 27th,
at the Baptist parsonage, Rev. W.
Magee performed the ceremony which
made George Sturdy and Edith Bali,
man and wife. Mr. Sturdy is a ster-
ling anti muclt respected young man,
who owns a fine farm at Auburn,
while the bride is a member of the
well-known and esteemed Ball fancily
of the Base line.
Last spring Mr. Jas. Southcombe
got an English immigrant boy—a
mere lad --who agreed to work a year
for $100 and his board. The boy faith-
fully put in his time and proved to be
an exceptionally reliable and compe-
tent worker. He left a few days ago
for the west, much to the regret of
Mr. Southcombe, but his employer
showed his appreciation of him by
giving him $50 more than agreed
upon.
An enthusiastic meeting of partici.
pants and lovers of outdoor sports
was held in the Council Chamber on
Tuesday evening, when what will be
known as the Clinton Athletic Asso-
ciation was organized, The Associa-
tion will include Baseball, Football
and Lacrosse teams, and possibly
Hockey, As Clinton is fortunate
enough to have in its midst some of
Canada's best exponents of the above
sports, spectators may count on see-
ing some exceptionally brilliant games
this season. The Management com-
mittee were authorized to consider
the advisability of holding an athletic
celebration on May 24th,
A Store -house For Poisons.
You may not think so, but that's
what you become when the kidneys
are affected. These organs cleanse
the body ; they are the filters that re-
move from the blood the waste mat-
ter that acts like deadly poison on
the vitality and health of the system.
Dr. Hamilton's Pills stimulate the
kidneys, expel fermenting matter
from the bowels, restore the liver and
stimulate all excretory and secretory
organs. This enables the blood to
quickly replenish itself and establishes
perfect health. No medicine does
such lasting cure as Dr. Hamilton's
