An Ottawa despatch to the Globe contains an Official financial statement of the Dominion government for the year ending with March last, According to this statement the revenue of the year amounted to a little over $$5,000,000, A surplus of a million dollars is claimed on the year's transactions, but at the same time an addition of almost $46,000,000- is ac- knowledged as having taken place in the public debt. The surplus is figur- ed out by charging to "capital" expen- ditures not only the twenty-five mil- lions spent on the Transcontinental, but the $6,400,000 of liabilities of the Quebec Bridge Company assumed by the Government, the $1,785,887 paid in railway subsidies, and the $2,467,306 paid in iron, steel and other bounties as well. In addition to all this ten million dollars spent on public works, including postoffices in towns like Glencoe and Whitby, and armories such as that at Guelph, were similarly charged. Meantime, despite all the paper sur- pluses of the past thirteen years, the net public debt has risen from two hundred and fifty-eight and one-half million dollars in 1806 to nearly $321,- 000,000 at end of March last, Here is a fact that cannot be figured away. And this increase has taken place de- spite the fact that the average revenue during the past thirteen years has been some twenty-seven million dol- lars in excess of what it was in 1806, The Grand Trunk In London, England. • The crowning importance of the Grand Trunk Railway System, the ex- pansion and extension of business, has necessitated the building of a new Grand Trunk building in London, Eng. The need of more room has been made all the more apparent since the Grand Trunk Pacific was project- ed. The Company has been fortunate enough to secure a site at No. 17-19 Cockspur Street, S. W., from the Lon- don County Council. Upon this site they have erected a splendid building. The Canadian Government Emigra- tion offices are at Charing Cross, but a stone's throw from- the Grand Trunk building, It is at the very hub of London. It is within five minutes of half a dozen leading Hotels.and near the intake to the tube at Trafalgar Square Station, Motor busses pass the door every few seconds to all parts of London, north, south, east and west. The inside furnishings of the new building are luxuriously complete; mail is picked up every hour of the day. A noticeable feature of the building is the range of circular front- ed balconies on the fifth floor in front of deeply recessed windows, which are surmounted by a very effective heavy moulded and medallioned main cor- nice. The carving on the front wall, which includes the Coat of Arms of the Ca- nadian provinces traversed by the Grand Trunk Syestem, was executed by Mr. W. S. Frith. The graceful figures over the principal entrance, emblematic of travel by land and sea, are the work of Mr. A. Drury, A.R.A. The public offices entered from Cockspur street, through the great central doorway, is a fine room forty feet long and eighteen feet high. The floor is marble, the walls are panelled in teak, with inlays of ebony and holly. In this room there is a magni- ficent freize, by Mr, Prank Brangwyn, A.R.A., which pictures Canada in the wild, hunting scenes : Indian life, the meeting of the pathfinder—the engi- neer—with the Indian chief, and final- ly the civilizing influence of the rail- way and the,white man upon the red man's country. The new Offices were opened on Do- minion Day, anc°hereafter the Euro- pean Traffic Department of the Grand Trunk Railway System and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway will occupy these new premises, which have al- ready become one of the sights -to be seen in London, The Western Fair, London, Sept. 10-18. The management of The Western Fair, London, Out,, are putting forth extra efforts this year to make the Exhibition more popular than ever in all its different branches, but to none of them are they giving more atten- tion than to the Live Stock Depart- ment. A large amount of money has been added to the Prize List. In the Horse classes several changes have been made ; sections are added in the Roadster class for "farmers only"; other sections in the High Steppers for Tandems and Four -in -bands, while In Speed events several hundred dol- lars have been added to the 'purses, In the Cattle $500 have been added to the Shorthorn class alone, and sub- stantial increases to the other classes, Increases have been made in the Sheep classes and one now class added in the Swine. A third prize in cash has been given the entire Poultry list beside a fine lot ttf Specials. The Agricultural and Fruit Departments have been carefully revised and added to where it was thought advisable. The Ladies' work has received special notice end the Prize List arranged up-to-date. Send for Prize Lists, entry forms and all Information to the Saeretary, A. M. Hnut, Louden, Ont. King Edward, And Agriculture. Farmers and stockmen the world over, whether they believe in royalty or not, commend and admire His Maj- esty King Edward for the deep and practical Interest which be takes in agriculture, and particularly in stock- breeding, Replying lately to a. loyal address from the Royal. Agricultural College, at Cirencester, he said "From my youth I have taken the warmest interest in agriculture. It is a source of livelihood and support to hundreds of thousands of my people, and upon it the prosperity of the country largely depends. In agricul- ture, as in all other industries, scienti- fic research has effected great im- provements, The simple methods which the farmers of bygone times found profitable and efficient, have now given place to systems of cultiva- tion which were then unknown. The success of the farmer of to -day is de- pendent not merely upon his industry and. economical management, but on the possession and application of spe- cial knowledge. Such special know- ledge can only be obtained by instruc- tion and scientific investigation, and I therefore cordially welcome the en- largement of the scope of the work of the Royal Agricultural College. Un- der your new organization you will have greater opportunity for the effi- cient performance of your important duties, and for the continuance and extension of your invaluable work. You may be sure of my warmest good wishes for the increased success of your undertaking." The Richest Man. A few days ago, on the completion of his seventieth year, Mr. John D. Rockefeller said to an acquaintance : "Once there were sixty of us, all strong men, associated in the Standard Oil, now there are but four." Since he made the remark, which was prompt- ly confided by the hearer to a news- paper reporter, Henry D. Rodgers went over to the majority, and there are now only three of the sixty left. Mr. Rockefeller has turned seventy years of age, and is worth $650,300,000. He is the first man that ever came near the financial rank of a billion- aire. ,Yet he began the world with nothing. When a boy he arrived in the city of Cleveland with his father, an itinerant pedler of patent medi- cines ; ho had not a cent he could call his own. He had education enough to enable him to read, write and 'do some flgurin'. But it'was enough, for he soon developed that abnormal, overmastering business capacity and faculty for organization which has astonished the world. He set out in life to make a fortune and he succeed- ed, until now his income is larger than that of many kingdoms which made a noise in the world, His claim to be ranked among great men is indisput- able, for he is the greatest man of business in a business age. No man has been more mercilessly criticised, a seemingly natural revenge inflicted on one who for fifty years was himself merciless in crushing all who compet- ed with him. Yet it would be unjust to brand him as 'a bad man. He did as most men would have done with the same ability and opportunity, and would have been beaten and crushed in the struggle had his genius not been greater than any of his competi- tors possessed. He was born at the right time, happened to strike the right place—to strike oil — and was endowed by nature with the right faculties to take advantage of his op- portunities. Now at seventy he is the richest man in the world, in the sense of having more money at his com- mand than any other man living, He is not happier than other men.
