The Snowfall.
A. resident of this vicinity who
kept a record of the snowfall, says
nine feet of the "beautiful" have fall-
en since winter began, We wore pre-
pared to believe that four or five feet
had fatlin to our share, but nine feet
seems "Um much of a good thing."
And yet, Rocklyn, Grey county, re-
ports that nine feet two inches of
snow have fallen on the level. At Lie -
towel the average has been 23 inches,
but during December last it fell every
day for 20 days, from the 5th to the
31st. At London the average has
been 22 inches s in December last the
fall was 26 inches. In the peninsula
to the north the fall was considerably
heavier during December, running. as
high as 50, 00, or 70 inches. Not only
has the snow been deep, but the cold
has been severe,

to make money in when times are
good, but Iiving is high and $5 does
not go any farther than $I in Canada.
Mrs. Ford says "Canada is the best
country to live in" and many will

—In deciding to call the Legislature,
Premier Ross announced that it was
called early in order to vote supplies
and discuss the Temiscaming railway.
Mr. Whitney ou Monday proposed to
expedite that business by offering no
opposition to that program, so that the
House could adjourn in a few days and
allow the election trials to proceed.
Mr. Ross replied that such a course
would be "childish." So that, in Mr.
Ross' opinion, it is "childish" to expe-
dite public business and "childish" to
do the very thiugs he averred the House
was called together for. Later on, he
admitted that tate Legislature was sum-
moned to avoid the election trials. The
'ospieable tactics adopted by Mr. Roes
to cling to power against n popular
