-- Lott year 135,000 head of cattle
came into Winnipeg frons the W'r'est ;
of these 85,000 went forward to the
British market,
*
- During the year 1900, 57,014) set-
tlers from the United States made
their homes in the Canadian West,
making the total for the last ten years
of 272,609 Americans, who came to
live in the western part of this Do-
Illitii011,
--At the close of 1876, the North-
west had only sixty-four miles of rail-
way. At present, the C. P. R. oper-
ates 4,100 miles, and the Canadian
Northern, 2,459 mites, It is expected
that the Grand Trunk Pacific will
operate portions of its western lines
this season, but the hope that the
road would be able to assist in moving
the crop of this year eastward has
been given up.
----In 1901, Edmonton was a mere
village on the outside of western set-
tlement. To -day it is a busy, ambi-
tious city, the capital of the new pro-
vince of Alberta, and a population of
12,000 or over. Both Calgary and Ed-
monton look forward to populations
of 100,000 each within a few years ;
and Calgary has an enthusiastic asso-
ciation of citizens known as "The 100,-
000 Club," pledged to expedite the
happy day.
—With the first of July the new U.
S. immigration law comes into force.
One of the clauses in this law provides
that all "aliens" crossing from Canada
to the States must pay $4 instead of
$2, which has been the assessment in
the past. In cases where passengers
are simply passing through U. S. ter-
ritory on the way from one Canadian
point to another, the $4 will be re-
funded, otherwise it is not. The word
"aliens," as interpreted by the L. S.
law, refers to all people other than
those who are citizens of Canada,
United States, Alaska or Mexico,
RRR
—A recent writer points out, that
in a list of twenty-one Pittsburg mil-
lionaires within the last twenty-five
years, "all but two or three have risen
from the ranks, some of them from
the lowest ranks of labor, while it is
evident that as a body in amassing
their own wealth they must have
greatly extended and improved the
industries and trades which bring
wealth to the community at large.
We live in an exceptional era of com-
mercial expansion, of which million-
airissn is a feature, equivocal, yet not
so bad as it has been painted. The
worst part of it is the millionaire's
son."
_-This is the way the Walkerton
Tittles views the recent 'increases in
the cost of paper ---"That the Cana-
dian wholesale paper houses have
combined to rob the printers and sta-
tioners, is no longer a doubt ---it is an
established fact. hay after day we
receive notices signed by the whole-
sale paper men of Toronto and Hamil-
ton, raising the prices on almost every
line of paper. Their prices are ex-
actly the same on each line, thus
showing that open competition does
not exist on the paper market, In
order to break up this combine we
would advocate the tin -owing open of
the Canadian market to United States
paper dealers."
—It is said that one-third of Great
Britain is owned by members of the
House of Lords. Scotland is the
realm of large land owners, of whom
fourteen are in possession of one-
fourth of the entire area. The ma-
jority of these are in the House of
Lords, which as a body owns consider-
ably more than a third of Scotland
and the outlying islands. The Duke
of Sutherland owns 1,358,000 acres.
With the estates of eleven peers equal
to one-tenth of England and Wales,
or between one-fifth: and one-sixth of
Scotland, there does not seem to be
much chance for the poor man to own
land.
**
—The Mormon question in Canada
was dwelt upon at some length by one
of the speakers at the Presbyterian
General Assembly, which met in Mon -
treat recently. "The great question,"
he said. "was how to assimilate the
great solid mass of Mormons to the
9 body politic. While they were not
exactly foreigners, and spoke English,
the people of the Mormon belt in Al-
herta held most remarkable foreign
, views and eustoms. This was intensi-
fied by their strongly exclusive social
system and their general self-satisfied
attitude to all outsiders. As to poly-
gamy, so far as Canada was concern-
ed, he said. "that it certainly existed,
but in a very limited degree, and in
such a way that the Canadian Iaw
would be almost impossible of enforce-
ment, owing to the refusal of one
Mormon to testify against another."
---During the nine months ending
with March 31st, the date on which
the financial year of the Dominion
Government now ends, there was paid
out of the Federal treasury $1,209,000
in bounties on iron and steel. This
was at the rate of nearly $1,806,000 for
twelve mouths. With the new and
higher scale in force and no increase
in production, the payments in the
twelve months ending with March
next will amount to at least two and
one-half million dollars. But produc-
tion is likely to be very largely in-
creased. During part of the short
fiscal year recently ended difficulties
between the Dominion Iron and Steel
Company and the Dominion Coal
Company caused a reduction in out-
put of the largest of existing com-
panies. These difficulties are now at
an end, and new companies are about
ready to begin operations. Under
such circumstances it will not be sur-
prising if the four -million -dollar mark
iu bounty payments is reached in the
current fiscal year.—[Weekly Sun.

work. L)efentlaut McNairn claims
that, making his bargain with the in-
surance company, ho had no agree -
meat expressed or implied with the
elevator company, and also says the
grain in question was what he sold to
Geo, Z,aithwaite. By way of counter-
claim he asks compensation for re-
moving shafting and machinery,
which he supposed were his. By con-
sent of counsel His Honor dispensed
with jury. Judgment was reserved.
Beese vs, Pigott,. -- An action for
damages sustained to plaintiff's mill
and contents at Blyth by flooding of
the river there, caused, as alleged, by
unnecessary obstructions placed in
the stream by the Guelph S Goderich
Railway contractor, The railway
company is brought in as a third
party. On motion of counsel for de-
fendant Pigott, the trial of this action
was postponed till the next sittings
of the Court with a jury. Costs of
postponement to be costs in the cause.

—In December, 1905, Governor Steu-
nenberg, of Idaho, who had been
active in bringing to justice certain
criminals connected with strike riots
in the northern mining districts of the
state, was blown to pieces while enter-
ing his own house. The trial is now
in progress of Haywood, Moyer, Petti-
bone, Simpkins, and others of the In-
ner Circle of the Western Federation
of Miners. The charge is that these
men not only inspired the murder of
the Governor, but were the instigators
of other crimes, including the ex-
plosion at the Vindicator Mine, the
blowing up of the Independence De-
pot., the murder of Light Gregory, a
detective of Denver, the murder of
Arthur Collins, of Telluride, the al-
leged blowing up of Fred. Bradley, of
San Francisco, and the alleged at-
tempts on the lives of ex -Governor
Peabody and Judges Gabbert and
Goddard, of Colorado, all acts in a
single great conspiracy, in which the
murder of Governor Steuuenberg was
incidental, and that the men who
actually committed the deeds were
merely paid assassins of Haywood and
his crew.
—The Oshawa Vindicator has this
to say about the proposed "all red
line":—"There is a good deal of silly
talk in the newspapers just now about
an all -red line from Great Britain to
Australia, which means a rapid tran-
sit line across Canada between Europe
and the south seas. The idea of such
a line looks all right at first view, but
those who go back into their own ex-
perience to size up the all -red line will
not feel so enthusiastic. We felt good
years ago when we read of thorough
connection between Chicago and
the Atlantic Ocean over the G. T. R.
The experience has been that it has
proved is curse to us every day in the
year. The people of Canada put up
most of the money for the G. T. R.,
yet almost every train is run to suit
Boston and Chicago people. News-
papers and snail matter that should
reach here at 7.30 a. in. are two hours
late in arriving, and the same thing
holds good all day. Most of the trains
only stop at big towns or cities. Wait
till the all -red business gets a -going
on the 0. P. R. and G. T. P., and we
will find the trains stopping at Que.
bee, Winnipeg, Regina and Calgary.
The people who paid for these great
railway lines will find themselves
viewing the flying trains which refuse
to stop and take them on board. A
local train will he run once a day with
second-class coaches for the comfort
of the common people."

—While stores of men have dif-
ficulty getting into Parliament, and
many who put forth great efforts to
ha able to attach M. P. to their names,
Hon Mr. Hyman has the opposite ex-
perience. He is said to have been try-
ing to get out, but his efforts have
been unsuccessful. It is supposed,
however, that, at last he has succeed-
ed, for it is reported again that his
resignation, addressed to Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, is now at 'Ottawa, and will
probably he communicated to the
Governor-General before Sir Wilfrid's
retia n. Mr. Iiyman had resigned his
seat in the House before the close of
the session, so that be bels been a
minister without a seat for more than
two months. The Premier announced
in parliament at the beginning of the
session that Mr. Ilyman had proposed
to ret e when the first exposure was
mole of the London conspiracy. Sir
Wilfaid then requested him to retain
'Ibis place in the Government while
giving up the stolen seat. Mr.
I yaeeeoi bed tlaaily decided to give up
b.
The June sittings of the County
Court and general sessions of the
peace were held last week, opening on
Tuesday before His Honor Judge
Doyle. A grand jury was summoned,
there being a criminal case to be dealt
with. This was the case against Ed-
ward
d-w rri Harper, of Howick, for assault-
ing a. woman of weak intellect. The
grand jury returned a true bill in the
case, but Judge Doyle took the ease
from the petit jury, instructing them
to discharge the prisoner, as the evi-
dence did not prove sufficiently his
knowledge of the woman's condition
of mind,
S. Johns was chosen foreman of the
grand jury, which visited the jail and.
county house of refuge and reportc4
everything in good condition.
The following civil eases 'were dis-
posed of: --
The Goderich Elevator and Transit
Co. vs. MeNairn et al.—Action for not
removing debris from plaintiffs' place
of business at Goderich. Tile plain-
tiffs, after the elevator fire of two
years ago, abandoned the damaged
grain to the insurance companies,
who sold the same to the defendants,
who, the plaintiffs claim, were to re-
move alt the damaged grain. This
was not done and the plaintiffs were
obliged to have it rental -ed. wader di-

With the things which we meant to

It is walled with the money we meant

The kind woeverds unspoken, the promis-

The land of "Pretty -Soon."
There are uncut jewels of possible

Lying about in the dust,
And many a noble and lofty aim
Covered with mould and rust.

near,
Is farther away than the moon ;
Though our purpose is fair, yet we
never get there—
To the land of "Pretty -Soon."
The road that leads to that mystic

Is strewn with pitiful wrecks ;
And the ships that have sailed for its
shining strand
Bear skeletons on their decks.

And further at night than at noon ;
Oh, let us beware of that land down
there ---
The land of "Pretty -Soon."
