Premier posi- tively refused to consider the terms proposed, lie declined to give Mani- toba the sante financial terms as Sas* lcatchewan and .Alberta, and would not admit the right of Manitoba to its lands, It is now practically certain that there will be no bill brought down this session to extend the pro- vincial boundaries. --1'ir, II, 13. Ames of Montreal con- tends that there are among the so, called Assets of the Dominion some that in process of time have lost their value. If this be the case, then the net debt of the country is much larger than the accounts show, and it is gen- erally agreed it is very large for the population, The Public Accounts ac- cepted a proposal by Mr. Ames for the appointment of a sub -committee to go over the assets of the Dominion and weed out those which have lost their value. A committee was ap- pointed for that purpose. —Lieut. Shackleton has succeeded in reaching the most southerly point on record, having, it is said gone with- in 97 miles of the south pole. It is claimed, that had the party not lost their ponies, they would have reached the pole itself. Lieut. Shackleton commanded the Antarctic expedition which left England in July 1007, and numbered four men and a supporting party. After a long and perilous jour- ney, leaving Hut Point Nov. 23, with 01 days'`provisions, being held up by blizzards, and in the interval losing their four ponies, the party reached on Tan. 20, latitude 88.23, longitude 162. This is the most southerly point ever trodden by foot of man. Here they hoisted the Union Jack. —Ontario's resources are but in the infancy of their development, and their is no doubt room for the popu- lation to be quadrupled in the near future. The Temiscaming and North- ern railway has opened up thousands of acres besides the silver region, and Gow Ganda will yet be another mining. centre. The Grand Trunk Pacific, though costing an immense amount of money, and largely increasing the public debt, will open territory for thousands of farm homes. On the line in northern Ontario for seventy- four miles west of the Quebec bound- ary, it is estimated that there are 1,84.1, 000 acres of arable land fit for culti- vation upon clearing. From thence westward for a hundred miles, there is an immense tract equal to any agri- cultural land in Canada, being a suc- cession of long ridges interspersed with swamps, which can be readily drained. This area is estimated at nearly 4,000,000 acres. Further west, while the soil is not so good, it is said that there are about 1,600,000 acres of fairly good arable land. When the Transcontinental project was first mooted, a man made a canoe trip to the height of land at the head of Gat- ineau, and found there a fine country, with fair timber and watered by beau- tiful lakes. At the trading post at the head of the Gatineau, the trader had a garden in which, tomatoes, cu- cumbers and other vegetables were ripening, and he reported that any- thing could be grown there as well as in eastern Ontario. --The Newmarket Canal, or as it is called in derision, the "Aylesworth ditch," is perhaps one of the clearest examples of a wilful waste of public money, this country has ever seen. The canal is to run from Cook's Bay through the County of York to New- market, and those who have witnessed the operations so far declare that the whole project is just so much money wasted. It might be mentioned in passing. that Hon. A. B. Aylesworth represents the constituency through which the canal passes. The Opposi- tion took a bold stand in Parliament upon the subject and demanded that all work should be discontinued, The matter came up upon a motion to go into supply, when Capt. Toni Wallace proposed an amendment reviewing the history of this ill-starred enter- prise and censuring the Government for its wilful and wanton waste of the public money, Mr. Osier, M. P., To- ronto, after 22 years observation of the locality, declares that net one ves- sel would ever pass up or down the canal, and that the $1,000,000 yet to be expended upon it had better be thrown into the river. Me. R. L. Borden said there was no justiflcation in wasting $1,000,000 more because $200,000 had already been wasted. Mr, Borden then challenged any Minister of the Crown to make an estimate of the traffic which would pass through the canal, The Qoverninent made no re- ply or defence, when Me, Borden said,. "Yotir silence is your strongest con- demnation. (Applause.) This is ab- solutely an undefended ease." —A resent paragraph in the Ad- vance referring to the speech of M'r. Proudfoot, hi the Legislature, seerhs to have raised the led of the Seaforth Expositor. The Expositor thinks It is doing a very clever thing, when it "hits" the Advance, and thinks it no trouble to go out of Ste way to do so. It does not scruple to even lati$0o11• retro° an allele in this papet, aiid zrad into it a tnettning never iotetided by the writer, anti thein upon its own n1itloonstruotioi , baso a personal at. tack, Clever, isn't ILP Here are a couple of kind (?) personal references in last week's Expositor "The editor of the Winglaanr Ad- vance, who, when it does not in- terfere with his political aftlliw- tione, ie a strong temperance ad- oeate , , . fie is temperance when it suits, but party always," Possibly the Expositor believes these accusations. Some people behove any- thing, no matter how far from the truth, or how unjust, against one to whom they are prejudiced politically. Those who know the editor of the Advance better than does the Exposi- tor paragrapher, do not hesitate to say that the accusations above are false. When it comes to party, there. aro few more slavish adherents to "party" than the Expositor. During the awful record at the close of the Ross administration, we do not re- member the Expositor denouncing the West Elgin outrage, the North Grey frauds, the North Renfrew disfran- chiseznent, or even the disgraceful Minnie M. affair. It appearetl to swallow the whole nasty dose for its "party," Once only, we do remember the Expositor showing some sign of cutting loose, and that was when its proprietor was keenly disappointed in not receiving a certain lucrative office then vacant in this county. But it soon fell into the ranks again, and trotted meekly behind the band wag- gon as before. The Expositor's accu- sations, as above quoted, are not only spiteful, but positively untruthful, and utterly lacking in even the least sem- blance of fairness. The Advance did not even refer to the Expositor in the article on which it bases its attack, and we were careful to give Mr. Proudfoot's own statement, so that our readers could judge . for them- selves. ' A little wordof three letters would very fitly characterize the Ex- positor's uncalled for attack upon the editor of the Advance. UNDERDRAINAGE ASSISTANCE. Underdrainage will pay for itself in one to three years, Perhaps no ex- ample in Ontario demonstrates this more conclusively than the drainage of the Rittenhouse farm at Jordan Harbour, in the Niagara peninsula. Originally it was very wet, so much so indeed that often the crops were scarcely worth cutting. In 1006 Mr. M. h', Rittenhouse of Chicago gave it to the Government for an horticultur- al experiment farm. In 1007 it was underdrained, the lines of tile being laid about four and a half rods apart. In many places the subsoil was very, very heavy, so that the digging was hard and the cost high, about $25 an acre. Iu 1908 on the part that was formerly the wettest it grew 65 bushels of oats to the acre, thereby practically paying for the drainage in one season ; for the year previous the oats on the same land were not worth cutting. The Rittenhouse farm was surveyed and the drainage system for it plan- ned by the Department of Physics at the Ontario Agricultural College. Any farmer in Ontario who is con- templating underdrainage may on ap- plication have his farm surveyed, the drains planned, and the grades deter- mined. A finished map containing this information and also the size of tile advisable is sent to the owner as soon as completed. The only outlay connected with the survey is the travelling expenses of one man from. Guelph to the farm, consisting of rail- way fare, meals and cartage of instru- ments. The railway fare is only one cent a mile each way for this work. At the conclusion of each survey a drainage demonstration is held in the field, and simple practical methods of surveying a drain, determining its grade and securing a true bottom are demonstrated, and the benefits of drainage discussed. Anyone desiring a survey and plan should apply to Prof. Wm. H. Day, Department of Physics, 0. A. C., Guelph. A large number of applica- tions are already in for this season. YOU CAN CURE CATARRH, J. H. Taylor, 54 Bond St., Toronto, Breathed Jlyomei And Cured A Long-standing Case Of Chronic Catarrh That Defied All Other Remedies, Also Toronto And New York Specialists. Without taking a drop of medicine into the stomach, J. 11. Taylor, 54 Bond St., Toronto, tells how the dis- tressing troubles of Catarrh were overcome by simply inhaling Hyornei air, It's the history of tons of thou- sands similar cases on record, proving that II'y' omei eon be depended upon to cure Catarrh, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds and Orono. It has no equal for any distress of the breathing or- gans. Mr. Taylor says :—"Some years ago while on a hunting trip in Northern Canada, I contracted a severe cold that settled in my head and finally affected my throat. It rapidly de- veloped into catarrh and Caused a mis- erable throat weakness. My head would become clogged during the night and there was a catarrhal drop- ping from the nose into the throat. Many days I had been unable to breathe other than through my mouth, and the constant hawking and spitting was almost ut bearable.. I had been treated by the best throat specialists here and in New York, but nothing benefitted nay condition. 1 obtained Hyornei and soon found relief, the throat dropping ceased and my head began to clear, I continued with Ilyomei for six weeks and after that time I was Well in every detail.
