E itotia1 -- 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. G' 'J —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." ,L JUNE COUNTY COURT. #f —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- irections from the medical health °M- ner, The skim 1st fur bhe pries of took THE LAND OF "PRETTY SOON."
