—In 1807, When the rural Ude snail
delivery was started on probation in
the united States, $10,000 was, says
Postmaster -General Wynn, writing in
World's Work, deemed sufficient for
its trial, Thuing the fiseal year that
ended June 80, 1904, nearly $13,000,000
was expended for the same service,
and for the fiscal year upon which we
have now entered $20,816,000 has been
appropriated for its continuance and
extension. There were ,e4,5436 rural
routes in existence at the end of the
fiscal year on June 30th last, 0,440 new
routes haviug been put into operation
during the fiscal year. On October 1,
1904, there were 27,135 routes estab-
lished, and the service was being exe
tended at the rate of about 800 routes
a month.
—Fire losses in Canada and the
United States during February are es-
timated at $23,591,000.
--Canada has 19,611 miles of com-
pleted railways, besides 3,327 miles of
sidings. Last .year 395 persons were
killed on our railways, out of 23,640,-
765 carried : 14055 were injlu'ed.
• •
— It is estimated that the Iosses of
British underwriters on war risks
upon steamers bound for Vladivostok,
and subsequently seized by the Japan-
ese, have amounted, since the begin-
ning of the war, to about $3,000,000.
* •
— According to a return issued by
the Ontario Bureau of Colonization, a
total number of 24,9055 immigrants en-
tered the province from Europe and
the United States during 1904, as
against 19,000 in 1903, and 3,000 in the
year 1900.
—The Dominion Government has
assurned the cost of the defences at
Esquimalt on the west and Halifax
on the east. This will entail an ex-
penditure of two million dollars annu-
ally. Let us hope that the guns may
never be used in deadly warfare.
• *
—So far, the war has cost Russia
five hundred million dollars in money,
two hundred thousand men killed,
wounded or prisoners, its fuse fleet,
the stronghold of Port Arthur, and
the whole of Southern Manchuria,
which had been stolen from China.

—Mr. James T. Ford, who arrived in
Seattle recently from the Far East,
where he has been studying labor con-
ditions for some time past, is 'of the
impression that the development of
the cotton and iron industries in Ja-
pan and China will in future prove a
serious menace to the trade of Great
Britain and the United States. Cotton
mills, he says, ate spriuging up all
over Japan, and are even now largely
supplying China's 440,000,000 with cot-
ton goods. As a result partly of this
new industry, cotton mills have been
shutting down all over the United
States. In China, he asserts, there is
all the coal and iron necessary to carry
on extensive manufactures for an un-
limited period, and he believes the
Chinese are fully alive to the possibili-
ties of the situation,
—According to a statement of the
British Board of Trade, a total num-
ber of 453,531 people left the United
Kingdom during 1901 for places out-
side of Europe, as compared with 449,-
_ 006 in 1803. Of these 175,911 were
English, 37,372 Scotch, and 58,308
Irish, the rest being foreigners. About
sixty-five per cent. of this number
went to the United States. The emi-
gration to British North* America
stood next on the list, with a total of
91,737.

The following statistics are inter-
esting as showing the wonderful popu-
latity which the telephone has attain-
ed in Canada. Twenty-five years ago
the Bell Co. started with a capital of
$397,000; to -day the capital is almost
nreserve. Twenty years ago the long -
$8,000,000 in stock, and $2,000,000 in
distance mileage amounted to 2,000
miles ; to -day it is 32,000. Ten years
ago there were 69,000,000 exchange
connections during the twelve months;
now there are 2,000,000. Ten years

Navigation Co., to place the stranger

tween wiudsor and Sault Ste. Marie

with other steafners of the same line
for Port Arthur and Duluth.
—As Canadians, we have been ac-
customed to expect justice from our
Courts of law, but it is evident that
frequently the innocent suffer and the
guilty go free. A strange case of the
innocent being unjustly punished came
to light recently in Montreal, when a
man sentenced for forgery was re-
leased. Last April Narcisse Cousineau
was accused of forgery before Judge
Wurtelle and a jury. Too poor to se-
cure a lawyer, he simply declared his
innocence and presented no case. As
a result the jury found him guilty and
he was sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary. After spending nearly
a year at hard labor the penitentiary
officials discovered that he could not
write and therefore could not have
committed the. forgery. The case was
brought before the Justice Depart-
ment at Ottawa, with the result that
Cousineau was given his liberty.

—The•
report of the Manitoba gov-
ernment and that of the North-west
Territories state that the west pro-
- duced over one hundred million bush-
els of grain, including probably sixty
million bushels of 'wheat, forty-one
million bushels of oats and ten million
bushels of barley. The average grade
- ' of wheat will.be No. 2 Northern. The
nearest estimate as to the amount of
acreage during 1904 under crop was
2,5565,016 acres. An average yield of
""f 16 bushels to the acre would amount
to 41,040,256 bnsirels for'31aniteba, and
18,8891,082 bushels for the Territories
at 18 bushels to the acre. This would
make a total for the whole. Canadian

The R. W. Provincial Grand Orange
Lodge of Ontario West, representing
some 000 Lodges, meets at Midland,
Ont., this week, and the gathering
promises to he one of the most repre-
sentative and interesting in the his-
tory of the Order. There is a feeling
that the annual meeting in March,
1906, should come West, and Goderich
has been mentioned as the next place
of meeting. A number of citizens and
business men have been inter-
viewed, and they feel disposed to give
financial aid if the 1906 meeting can be
secured for Goderich.
The C. P. R., bridge being placed in
position at Dunlop's is '70 feet long,
and, like all the bridges to be placed
on the line, is of steel. It is probable
over 20 steel bridges will be used its
the construction of the line in, and
within, a few miles of Goderich. The
crossing of the river below Attrill's
will take seven -5 of 100 feet each,
and 2 of 80 feet each, and for crossing
the G. T. R. and the river below Mac-
Dermott's steps, 3 will be used. At
the foot of Harbor Hill there will be
two or more steel spans, and even
Sharp's creek will have one of a span
50 feet. There will be 3 of 100 feet
over the Maitland at Ball's, and there
may be others over the different
roads. From the Above it can easily
be understood that the ten miles of
the Goderich end of the C. P. R. will
be one of the most expensi"e ten miles
of R. R. lines in Ontario.
—During the past fiscal year the ag-
gregate tr..de of Canada, including
total exports and imports, amounted
to $172,733,038, an increase of more
$5,000,000 compared with the previous
year, when the trade of Canada
amounted to $467,004,685. There was
a decrease in exports from 3x,849,724
in 1903, to $213,521,235, but the imports
increased from $241,214,961, to $259,-
211,803. The value of exports to Great
Britain amounted to $117,591,376, com-
pared with $131,202,3'21 in the previous
year, and there were experts to the
United States to the value of $72,772,-
9,32,
72,772;
9, an increase of nearly $1,000,000
over the year 1902-03. Exports to
Germany decreased from $2,097,699 to
31,819,223. Imports from Great Bri-
tain entered for consumption increas-
ed from $58,896,901 to $61,777,575, and
the imports from the 'United States in
the last two fiscal years amounted to
$137,605,19,5 and $150,826,515 respec-
tively. Imports from Germany during
the same period decreased from $12,-
282,637 to $8,175,604, and the imports
from France, Portugal, Italy, Holland
and Newfoundland also showed slight
decreases. Imports from the West
Indies increased from $2,379,275 to
34,813,815; imports from South Ame-
rica increased from 31,989,952 to $3,-
157,004, from China and Japan they
increased from $1,939,942 to 32,565,970,
and from Belgium they increased
from $2,800,182 to $3,129,513.

Catarrh Is Certainly Curable.
In fact it is one of the most curable
diseases if fragrant healing Catarrho-
zone is used. No matter how long
you have suffered with catarrh you
can be perfectly cured by inhaling the
vapor of Catarrhozone, which strikes
at the foundation of the trouble and
establishes such a. healthy condition in
the system thakcatarrhal germs simp-
ly can't exist. "I suffered from ca-
tarrh of the nose and throat for many
years," writes S. H. Downie of Platts-
viile. , "My nostrils were always stuf-
fed up and I had a most disagreeable
hacking cough. Catarrhozone cured
me completely." Catarrhozone never
fails. Two months treatment $1.00 ;
trial size 25c.
—The introduction by Sir Wilfrid
of the Bill known as the Autonomy
Bill, providing for the formation of
two new provinces, Alberta and 'Sas-
katchewan, has caused quite an ex-
citement, not only in parliamentary
circles, but all over Canada. The op-
position to the Bill centres around two
of its provisions, one.providing for
Separate Schools, the other vesting
the control of the lands in the Federal
Government. Especially does the
storm rage around the clause known
as the Educational clause, providing
for Separate Schools. Not since the
Remedial Bill of past years has any
measure evoked such a storm of oppo-
sition. Hon Mr. Sifton. has resigned
his portfolio, and unless the Bill is
modified it is said that Mr. Fielding
may resign` also. The Western mem-
bers are very hostile to the Bill, and
many Liberals in other provinces dare
not give it their support. It is strange
that Sir Wilfrid, who is generally cre-
dited with being shrewd, should pre-
pare such a measure without consult-
ing all his colleagues, especially Mr.
Sifton, whose efforts held. the 'Vest
for the Liberals at the last election.;
Sir Wilfrid Laurier seems to have a i
knack of driving able men out of his
Cabinet --Tarte, Blair, and now Siftan,
with others threatened. It .seems a
pity tbstt Sir Wilfrid should have
