vety little grown about Toronto," said
Mr. lilllber, speaking to the .mess on
this matter, "but with us in South
Huron it is quite an important crop.
There are no less than nine fax mulls
to my riding. t have• looked into this
whole subject very carefully, and urn
convinced that we can make better
twine from cue own flax, and sell it
at 10c per pound, than we now make
front imported fibre,"

—The Whitney Government has
secured authority to apply electricity
as the motor power for the '1'emiskaur-
inn Railway, and there is little doubt
that the authority obtained will be
exercised, The policy decided upon is
a wise one. Coad, on equal terms, is
a more expensive means of power
than is electricity generated from
water falls. In this case the condi-
tions are altogether in favor of the
new agent. Water -falls for the gene-
ration of electrical energy, are to be
found all over the country through
which the 2emiskaming line rues,
while coal has to be hauled several
hunched miles to the scene of opera-
tions. Under these conditions electri-
' cad energy should furnish a much
cheaper motive power than coal.
There is another advantage in favor
of the policy declared for. The opera-
tion, by electrical energy generated
on the spot, of a railway owned by
the Province, and some 200 miles in
length, will be a splendid advertise-
utentfor Ontario.

—As the County Councillors elected
last January hold office for two years,
the Bi11 providing for a return to the
old method of representation in the
County Council, was withdrawn. Pre-
mier Whitney says it will be passed
next session of the Legislature.
—It is predicted by the hopeful pro-
phets that the State census of New
York, abort to be taken, will show
that Greater New York has a popula-
tion of nearly 4,000,000. It is estimat-
ed that the population of the metropo-
lis increases at the rate of about 3 per
cent. a year, adding about 100,000 to
the population annually. The popu-
lation within the limits of the county
of London was 4,536,541 in 1901.
Greater New York is growing with
great rapidity, and may overtake Lon-
don eventually.
—Mr. Adson, general agent of the
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Rail-
way, with offices at Duluth, said re-
cently he could confidently predict
that the exodus from the States of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
to the Canadian Northwest would be
greater this year than ever before.
Throughout these States the farmers
were all talking of lands in the west ;
ninny were packing up to cross the
northern border. He added that the
exodus was composed largely of am-
bitious young men, and the extent of
it had actually become alarming.
•
---Me. Downey's bill to abolish ped-
lars has been laid over for a year. It
proposed to empower councils to fix
the license fees for hawkers or pedlars
at not more than $350 for a two -horse
wagon, $230 for a one-horse wagon,
$25 for a push cart, $150 for one carry-
ing apackage or basket, and $200 for
one carrying patterns or samples and
selling or soliciting orders for future
delivery. Once before an attempt
was made to kill the pedlars' trade in
this way, but the courts held that the
fees wet e not for regulation, but were
intended to be prohibitory, and the
law failed.
•
—In the Legislature last week, Mr.
Either of South .Huron inquired if the
Government were aware that a supe-
rior article of binder twine was mann-
facture(' out of flax, and if it was their
intention to experiment in Or mama -
facture twine from home-grown flax
a at the Central Prison, Hon. Mr. ;
Hanna. said that the Governanent hard •
, taken no action, but now that their
attention. was called to it, the platter

OUR GROWING EXPENDITURE.
(Weekly Sun.)
1880 $33,001,000
1800 40,047,000
1893 41,162,000
1900 50,443,000
1904 63,493,000
1903 (estimated 81,000,000
The foregoing table shows the total
expenditures of the Dominion of Can-
ada, on both current and capital ac-
count, for the years 1880, 1890, 1895,
1900 and 1004, and the estimated ex-
penditure for the current year.
Yet.
True, the population of the country
has made considerable increase during
the period covering the years named,
but population has not nearly kept
pace with expenditure. In 1880 the
expenditure on current account alone
was placed. by the Canadian Year Book
at $5.90 per head; in 1890 at $7.52; in
1805 at $7.58 ; in 1000, $8.07, and in
190:3 at $9.35. If the total amount ap-
propriated during the present session
is expended the outgo on current and
capital expenditure combined will
amount to over $13.50 per head for
each man, woman and chile. in Con-
federation.
This is a serious drain upon the re-
sources of the country, even in times
of prosperity ; it will be almost an
nnbearable burden when hard times
come again. The demand that the
brakes be put on is imperative.
WINGHAM DISTRICT MEETING.
The May district meeting for the
Methodist Church on Wingham dis-
trict assembled in Wingham, May
23rd and 24th. The ministerial session
opened at 2 p. m. on Tuesday, the

The examination of the character,
doctrine, discipline, punctuality and
ability of each of the above, and the
absent superannuated ministers was
proceeded with in detail, and in every
case was satisfactory,
Andrew C. Haines, a probationer of
two years' standing, having travelled

Walker was recommended for super-
annuation; Bro. Walker has travelled
42 years. A resolution of condolence
with him passed unanimously.
Rev. J. C. Pomeroy, B. A., was re-
stored to the active work.
After a brief address from Rev. El-
ford of the M. E. Church north, the
meeting adjourned till Wednesday at
8.30 a. in.
On Wednesday morning, after read-
ing of minutes, the joint sessions of

circuit report building a parsonage,
value, $2,500.
Brussels asked $45 from Contingent
fund for payment of funeral expenses
of Rev. R. Paul, and Salem for cost of
three mouths' supply, Bethel asked
for $290 from Sustentation fund—these
were recommended to Conference. '
A resolution, moved by Rev. N. Bur -
wash and seconded by Jno. Joynt, dis-
approving of the educational elapses
of the Autonomy Bill, caused quite an
excitement for a while. It went to a
vote without debate, and appeared to
be a tie. As the mover of the motion
could not hear well what was being
done, he failed to vote for his own
motion, hence -it was declared "Lost."
With a slight difference in the word-
ing, it would have carried.
It was moved by Rev. Dr. Gundy,
seconded by Rev. R. Millyard—That
we have learned with very great re-
gret that it is proposed to make such
changes in the Criminal Code ars would
facilitate "Race track" betting and
gambling. 'We do hereby place on
record our most emphatic protest
against such legislation, and we would
most earnestly urge upon oar repre-
sentatives in the Dominion Parlia-
ment to use their influence and votes
against the enactment of such pro-
posed legislation.

Just What Everyone Should Do.
Mr. J. T. Barber of Irwinville, Ga.,
always keeps a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
at hand ready for instant use. At-
tacks of colic, cholera morbus and
diarrhoea come on so suddenly that
there is no time to hunt a doctor or
go to the store for medicine. Mr.
Barber says : "I have tried Chamber-
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy which is one of the best medi-
cines I ever saw. I keep a bottle of
it in my room as I have had several
attacks of colic and it has proved to
be the best medicine I ever used."
