-The Marine Beet Sugar Co, of Ma-
rine City, Mich., is asking the privi-
lege of importing beets from Ontario
free of duty. The reason for making

vicinity of the factory to raise enough

-During 1904, British Columbia fur-

estimate places the acreage of timber
in British Colinnbia at the present
time at 182,750,000 acres and suggests
that this area would be a good field
for American forest and sawmill ma-
chinery.

Supreme Court unseating Mr. E. D.

bushels of wheat from the West to
Port Arthur, or an increase of 4,500,-
000 bushels over any previous year.
Last year 12,280,000 bushels were han-
dled, and in 1903, 9,900,000. The C. P.
R. this year have about three thou-
sand more cars than last, and about
one hundred and sixteen snore en-
gines. The equipment this year is
stronger than in 1902 (the record crop
year previous to the present) by 10,341
cars and 305 engines. The equipment
for handling the grain is growing fast-
er than the crop is increasing.

-The elections for the new Province
of Alberta. have been announced for
November 9th but the date for Sas-
katchewan, in which Mr. Haultain is
leading the Opposition forces, has not,
yet been fixed. The delay in the case
of Saskatchewan can bear but one ex-
planation -the Dominion Government
hopes to carry Alberta and expects
the effect of victory there to make
Haultain's task in Saskatchewan more
difficult than it is now. This action
is of a piece with that involved in ig-
noring the man who was Premier of
the old Territories when provisional
governments were being formed for
the new Provinces. This is surely
petty politics, -[Weekly Sun,

--Referring to the recent death of
Senator Pafford, Toronto Saturday
Night has this to say :-The Senate is
notoriously a useless body of men en-
cumbering the legislative surface of
the earth, and undeniably an expen-
sive and difficult implement of the
Government, and It cannot be too
often said that the whole business is
•
branch of our legislative functions.
It seems to be a place reserved for rich
men who have neither time nor incli-
nation to go through the irritating
experiences of an election in order to
gain a public position ; or a sort of
legislative barnyard in which tired,
out hacks and foot -sore politicians can
be let loose against the public straw -
stack with euough fodder in sight to
keep theta front dying on the road-

----Russia is in a most deplorable con-
dition, for at the present time the
country is in a state of revolution.
Human life is not safe, business is
paralyzed, famine is threatening the
workers, and the throne of the Czar is
in danger. Unhappy land l When
every energy should be bent on re-
cuperation, after so costly and disas-
trous a war, the reverse is the case.
Revolution, anarchy and bloodshed
prevail. Yet such drastic discipline
seems to be necessary, for the people
must be free. The twentieth century
is too enlightened to permit long con-
tinuance of the conditions that have
hitherto prevailed in Russia. Besides,
there is such a thing as "National Re-
tribution." Russia has been autocra-
tic, cruel and tyrannical, and she is
reaping what she has sowed. If the
people had been properly treated,
they would have been more loyal and
devoted, and the recent war might
have terminated differently. Greed
and corruption on the part of the rul-
ing class have made the working mul-
titudes angry, and repression has
made them defiant. The subjugation
of Poland and extinction of the liber-
ties of the people there, as well as the
banishment of Russian citizens to the
wilds and horrors of Siberia, are now
rising in fearful judgment against the
Russian government. Let us hope
that out of the awful crisis, liberty of
speech, freedom for the people and
good government may comae. There
are however dark days yet for Russia,
before proper conditions prevail.
THE CANADIAN WEST.
W. E. Curtis is writing a series of
letters to the Chicago Record -Herald,
on the above topic. From one of
these letters, we glean the following,
whicwill be of interest to our read-
ers :h -
"The Canadian Northern Company,
which is building from Winnipeg
northward to Hudson Bay, and north-
westward to the Pacific, has no sub-
sidy from the Government, but has a
laud grant of 12,800 acres a mile. It
now has 2,500 miles of track in opera-
tion and is extending its line so rapid-
ly that before the end of the present
year it will have 3,000 miles, The firm
of Mackenzie and Mann of Toronto
are practically the owners. These
gentlemen began in a small way, and
it is said that in 1898 and 1899 they
offered their entire interests to the
Canadian Pacific and also to the
Grand Trunk Company for $250,000.
Now they say they would not sell out
for fifty millions. They have built
their line slowly and it has paid for
itself. It crosses a country with an
enormous, extraordinary producing
capacity, and the Government land
grant has been sold to actual settlers
almost as fast as it has been earned.
The company is now building at the
rate of six miles a day.
The main line runs from Port Ar-
thur to Edmonton, a distance of 1,500
miles. Between Winnipeg and Ed-
monton, 900 miles, it has exactly 100
stations, every one of them except
two being wheat -receiving centers.
Another line runs north toward Hud-
son Bay, and there are numerous
spurs, reaching into the richest wheat
fields of Canada. Mackenzie and Mann
have also acquired two lines which
give them access to the St. Lawrence,
both at Montreal and Quebec. They
are gradually building and buying in
Eastern Canada, so as to reach the
Atlantic. They have recently pur-
chased the Halifax and South -Wes-
tern Railway in Nova Scotia, and the
Inverness Railway and coal mines on
Cape Breton Island,
It is the ambition of Mackenzie and
Mann to own a line of track between
the Atlantic and the Pacific. They
endeavored to secure the franchise
which the Government has recently
granted to the Grand Trunk Pacific,
But they have never been especially
favored by the Government, and the
Grand Trunk people got ahead of
them, This failure, however, has
only stimulated their ambition and
they are now driving their line toward
the Pacific on their own account, de-
pending upon their own resources and
a valuable land subsidy. Thus, with-
in a few years, it is almost certain
that Canada will have three trans-
continental lines.
Hudson Bay is as large as the Medi-
terranean -a great inland sea, and its
fisheries, which have never been de-
veloped, are as valuable as those of
Labrador. It is not in the frozen
zone, The winters are cold but not so
cold or Stormy as along the Atlantic
coast of tapper Canada and the United
States, On its shores are immense
bodies of timber which have never
been touched, and to the westward
are mountains believed to be as rich
in minerals as the Klondike. The
foothills of these mountains are cov-
ered with nutritious grass, offering
fine cattle ranges, and they slope
down to open, well -watered prairies
of great fertility. There is scarcely
any rock. This is an important con-
sideration for railway builders as well
as for the farmers who are likely to
locate there within the next decade,
for it, is beyond controversy that the
district between the great lakes and
Hudson Bay will be settled like Min-
nesota and the Dakotas before this
a expensive, wasteful and corroding generation es."
FiRG IN LUCKNOW.
(Lnckuow Sentinel)
The worst fire that has occurred in
Lucknow for oval' twenty years took
place about one o'clock Wednesday
morning, when seven business places,
were completely destroyed. The fire
started near the west enol of the largo
brick block on the north side of Camp-
bell Street, known as the Campbell
Block, and rapidly spread eastward,
destroying Miss McColl's millinery
store, A. Bennett's butter and egg
store, John l'ilurchison's. C. P. R. of-
fice, N. D, McKenzie's shop, Mrs,
Campbell's restaurant and grocery
store, A. T. Davison's furniture store
and Mr. Thos. Watson's barber shop,
So rapidly did the fitunes spread that
despite the prompt arrival of the fire
brigade and the work of the firemen
and citizens the buildings are a com-
plete wreck, and only a small portion
of the contents of Davison's furniture
store and Mr. Thomas Watson's bar-
ber shop could be saved, Tho others
were a total wreck, Mrs. Campbell
and her daughter only escaping from
the burning building with their night
clothing on, and had they not been
awakened by the smoke in their bed
room they undoubtedly would have
perished in the flames. How the fire
originated is not known. Mr. Dun-
can Matheson, of the Electric Light
Plant was the first to give the alarm ;
after closing off the electric lights at
12 o'clock he was on his way home
when he saw the fire, The loss is a
serious one, not only to the individu-
al owners of the property, but to the
village as a whole. The total loss
will be over $15,000 on which there is
only au insurance of about $7,000. So
intense was the heat that all the
fronts of the buildings on the opposite
side of the street were badly damaged,
including Thos. Lawrence's hardware
store, W. W. Hill's grocery store,
Harry Day's drug store, D. Thomp- a
son's grocery store, H. Gallagher's
harness shop, J. Agnew's shoe store,
and Dr. Spence's drug store. The fire
brigade did noble service and had it
not been for our splendid system of
waterworks the whole of the amain
street would have been wiped out.
