—Dominion Immigrat:on .Agent
Preston says Canada may expect 100,-
000 British immigrants next year, and
that the time will come when we shall
receive a quarter million annually.
—During the year ended Tune 30,
the sum of $1,540,203 was paid by the
Dominion Government in bounties on
iron and steel, as compared with $008,-
962 last year. There was also paid
$330,645 on lead, $13,789 on binder
twine and $350,047 on petroleum.
—In 1874 Germany m was free from
debt. Now its national debt amounts
to 875 million dollars, requiring an-
nual payment of interest amounting
to twenty-five million dollars. The
total debt of the empire and the fed-
erated German Stakes is 3,750 millions,
or $62 per head of the population.
*
—The revenue from Customs taxa-
tion for the five months ending with
November amounted to $19,106,000,
over $1,250,000 in excess of the same
period last year. The amount collect-
ed for the last five months is equal to
the amount collected for the entire
twelve months of twenty years ago.
•*
—The big Canadian Drug combine
has been completed. Sixteen whole-
sale drug firms compose the huge con-
solidation. It is said that in towns
where three drug stores are operating
where only two should be, the third
will close. An upward tendency in
prices is expected, as the combine will
have it all their own way.
*
—Local option campaigns are being
waged in 116 municipalities. Of these
there are fifty-one where the Councils
have agreed to submit the by-law to
the electors, twenty places where the
Councils refused, fifteen cases where
the matter was dropped before coming
to the Council, and thirty that are
doubtful, some of which are expected
to decide in favor of a vote.

—Poon Chew is the editor of a Chi-
nese paper in San Francisco, and has
been a resident there for 25 years.
Addressing the Presbyterian Minis -
tees' Association recently, he said
China's sleep is over. The late war
has awakened her to the fact that she
must be prepared to kill as many peo-
ple as possible with least expense to p
herself to enjoy the world's respect.
In ten years China will have a stand-
ing army of 800,000 men, well trained i
and equipped. She will not be aggres-
sive, but will protect herself.

—It was estimated that 500 miles of
the Grand Trunk Pacific were under p
construction at the 1st of November, t
and it was expected that nearly dou-
ble that mileage would be begun by
December 1st. It is stipulated that
the branch between Fort William and
Lake Superior Junction, a distance of
210 miles, must be ready for the mov-
ing of the grain crop of 1907. The
agents of the Grand Trunk Pacific,
who are buying the right of way be-
tween Portage la Prairie and Arrow li
River, state that the work of grading
was progressing along the line, and is
completed 12 miles west of Portage la, e
Prairie. The nearest point to Bran-
don, touched by the G. T. P., is 10
miles north of the city.

To raise by issue of debentures the
stun of $1500.00, to pay for the
construction of a bridge on Water
street, in the Town of Wingham,
"The Premier and the Govern-
ment are to be congratulated that
in the selection of both the old
board and the new they were able
to enlist the services of men who
could neither he bought nor bul-
lied into courses of which their
judgment and conscience might
disapprove, In both cases the
men are outstanding Conserva-
tives, but in neither case could the
board be dominated by the baser
elements either in ward politics or
in the liquor trade.”

—No country laying claim to civili-
zation can present a more horrible
situation than that which now pre-
vails in Russia. Within the first week
after the Czar's grant of freedom, it is
thought that at least 10,000 persons
were killed in Russia, most of them
Jews, and very many more were beat-
en and wounded. There was no gov-
ernment to make effective protest to.
The Czar was helpless. A new gov-
ernment was not yet really born.
The local governments were demora-
lized. It was simply anarchy ; and at
time of writing, no person can say
where it will end. We have read of
the crimes of the French Revolution
with the feeling that such things could
not happen in our time. But here are
just such unbridled massacres of the
innocent, including women and chil-
dren, reported to us by telegraph the
morning after they take place ! And
the hutnane world is helpless to pre-
vent it ; for it can do nothing but send
money to relieve suffering and to
stimulate emigration.
—A terrible outcry was made re-
cently regarding the dismissal of To-
ronto's License Inspectors, which Ied
to the resignation of the Commission-
ers. Prof. Goldwin Smith, who pub-
licly declares himself a Liberal, takes
a common sense view of the affair,
and says :—"Tn this matter of the dis-
missal of the Inspectors of Licenses
two questions seem to be involved.
One is whether the dismissals were
justified; the other is whether the
Commissioners were called upon to
signify their dissent by resignation.
That one of the inspectors had been
an active political worker seems to be
admitted ; as to the other two the
facts do not seem to be clear. The
answer to the second question depends
upon the understanding on which the
Commissioners accepted office. Was
it one which would exclude a change
of inspectors without their consent?
That the general policy of the Govern-
ment has been changed there seems
to be no reason to assume. Certain
Fartisans of the Government who are
worst enemies are doing their ut-
most to impress a party character on
is action. It is to be hoped that the
Premier will have the good sense and
courage to keep these people at arm's
ength and to justify the expecta-
tions of an honest electorate which
laced him and his colleagues where
hey are."

—The C.P.R. are building a 400 mile
irrigation canal between Calgary and
Medicine Hat which will cost live mil -
on dollars.
—The Crow's Nest coal beds are
stimated to hold enough coal to last
for 5,000 years if mined at the rate of
four million tons a, year.
—Hereafter the standard size of
twit baskets will be eleven and six
uarts. This was decided at one of
he largest meetings of fruit growers
ver held in the Niagara Peninsula
recently. Growers were also present
from other districts, so that the meet -
ng was thoroughly representative.
The matter of deciding the shape of
the baskets was left to a committee.
The growers will likely ask Perlis,-
ent to amend the law. The legal
basket is now six and two -third
uarts, but it has proved unsatisfac
ry.
—It is said that in Northern On-
rio, the Ontario Government is
eking a general clean up of derelict
ettlers. On reliable authority it is
tated that from two to three per
VC are being notified to get out for
oneompliance with the regulations.
Settlers are given rights under certain
conditions. Among these it i3 sti-
pulated that a settler must erect a
house and barn, must occupy the
premises, must clear a certain number
of acres per year, etc. When the con-
ditions are complied with four or five
or six years aecording to the district,
settler is given a patent to 100 acres,
for
which he pays in installments the
(amid price of 60 cents an acre. It
said there hare been gross viola -
one of these in the past. The lands
ave been held for speculation and
bus settlement has been retarded.

—The United States Secretary of q
Agriculture estimates the value of this
year's American crop at $1,216,000,000. e
Hay is next in valuation among the
American crops this season, with a
total value of 3805,000,000, cotton com-
ing
third with $575,000,000, and wheat
fourth with $525,000,000. The value
of the wheat crop in the United States
this year is higher than that of any m
ever before harvested, this being due,
however. to the high prise; the yield
in bushels was considerably exceeded tO
in 1001. The estimated value of dairy t
products in the nite.3 States this to
year is $®w,000,000, and poultry pro- m
duets $500,000,000. The total value of s
all the farm products of the United s
States this year is p1a�•ec1 at $0,4155,.
000,0` , the highest amount ever at- n
tained.
Church and State are henceforth
separate in France. The Trill for the
separation passed the Chamber of
Deputies July 3. by 311 to 33, and on
December Bth, the Senate adopted the
bill, by a vote of 181 to Ice. Its final
passage marks the culmination of the a
strained relations width have long
existed between the French Govern- - n
/lent and the Vatican. It sweeps is
away a system which dates frons 1801, ti
when the famous Concordat was - b
