NOTES AND COMMENTS
Sir Wilfrid Laurier -and E. M. Mao-
donald, M. P., left Thursday for the
west. They will be joined at North
Bay by Hon. George P Graham and
Fred Pardee, M. P. Though it was
raining there was quite a gathering at
the depot to see the prime minister start
for New Canada. Sir Wilfrid was in
high spirits and seemed as pleased as a
sohool boy with the prospects of the
trip before him. He is in the best of
health.
The financial statement of the Do-
minion for the first quarter of the pre-
sent fiscal year shows an increased rev-
enue of $4 741 981, as compared with
the corresponding three months of last
year. For the last month the inorease
was $1,033 779. The quarter's revenue
totalled $26 334,853, and the revenue for
Jane $9,612,677. Expenditure on con-
solidated fend a000unt for the three
months was $8,833,107, an increase of
only $16,500. Expenditure on capital
a000unt for the quarter totalled $3,150,-
035, a decrease of $864,263, Daring.
June the net debt of the Dominion de-
creased by $2,333.467, the debt at the
end of the month being $322;405.328.
Incomplete returns indicate that the
Roblin Government have soored another
complete victory in Manitoba, and will
return practically with the same mejor-
ity as they have enjoyed for the past
term of three and a half years. The
Liberals olaim fourteen seats, but defin-
ite return are yet wanting in four places,
and it is still a question whether they
will have the thirteen they had before,
or one or two more. Every Cabinet
Minister was returned with a greater
majority thae, before, and the Govern-
ment gains in the.four known seats are
are offset by an qual number of certain
gains by the Opposition.

SIR WILFRID'S MESSAGE.
"I oome to yon, I greet you, not as Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, not as the Prime Min
sister. of Canada, not as the politioian,
not as the statesman, es you have flat-
teringly designated me. I dome to yon,
good people of the great west, as Wilfrid
Laurier, the man, your fellow.oitizen,
a fellow' Oanadiau. This title, to me
has a value greater far than all the
badges and trappings of office. Let me
move among you as a fellow -citizen, and
let ne reason together for the common
good of our common oonntry. What is
the objeot of our tour? It is a plain and
simple one, I give it freely, in order to
remove the doubt and speculation with
whioh some would surround it, I am
eager, my colleagues and friends are
eager, that we should become better ac-
quainted with the new, far and rapidly
progressing western country. That we
should visit and see with our own eyes
the cities, towns, villages and commun-
ities springing into being as if by magio.
We want to extend the warm hand of
welcome to our new fellow -citizens, who
have oome from Europe and the United
States to make our oonntry their coun-
try, to become Canadians, and to make
Canada a country of whioh we will be
still more proad. We Dome to ascertain
the wants and requirements of our com-
mon country, to perform the duty and
responsibility devolving upon as who
have been entrusted with its govern-
ment and expansion. This is our object
—nothing more and nothing lese. It is
part of the duty which we owe to our
fellow•oitizens who conferred upon us
their confidence." Such was Sir Wil-
frid'e message to the people of Port
Arthur and Fort William at the first
meeting of hie Western tour on Satur-
day last.
CHURCH NOTES.
Owing to the absence of the pastor,
Rev. A. O. Wishart, B. A. of Brussels
will conduct the seevices in St. Andrew's
Presbyterian Chorale next'Sunday.
The London Free Press reports that
Rev. W. J. West, of Binevele is spoken
of favorably in connection with the
pastorate of the First Presbyterian
Obnroh at Brantford.
Rev. Dr. Salton, who completed hie
pastorate at Central Oharch, Stratford,
end expected to leave for Algonquin
park with a party of boy sponte, was
suddenly prostrated with appendioitie
and was operated ou. He is reoovering
nicely. Mr. Salton is a former pastor
of Brussels Methodist Ohnroh and is
well known to many of our readers, who
will be sorry to hear of his illness.
How Far the Blood Travels,
The mileage of the blood circulation
reveals some astonishing facto. It has
been calculated, for instance, that, as-
suming the heart to beat sixty-nine
times a minute at ordinary pressure, the
blood goes at the rate of two hundred
and seven yards in a minute, or nine
miles an hour, two hundred and twenty
miles a day, and eighty thousand miles
a year, If a man eighty-four years old
could have one single blood corpuscle
floating in his blood all his life it would
have travelled in that time nearly seven
million ix ilea.
Canada's Prosperity.
Quoting the forecast that Winnipeg
will have a population sometbing like
that of St. Petersburg, Toronto like that
of Vienna, and Montreal like that of Lon-
don,' within the life of our young men,
Canada, the London illustrated weekly,
says:—People who rub their eyes at
each statements may not know that in
1800 the population of New York was
l 60,000.In the nineteenth y century,
even in its later years, "emigration"
was looked upon in a very different light
from what it is to -day, especially emi-
gration to that flourishing country tin-
der the Britieh flag which oan now be
reached in little more than 5days for little
more than £5. Probably the best evi-
dence available at the moment as to the
prosperity of Canada is to be found in
an examination of the passenger Bete of
the incoming Steamers, which are bring•
ing nearly as many visitors with return
tickets in their pockets as are going the
other way to begin their climb np that
path to success whioh the arrivals have
achieved. Moreover, an.examinatlon of
the outward passenger lista does not
show much falling off in the volume of
the third.olaee emigrant traffic, despite
the new "restriotive" regulations. Nev.
er were the official Agents of the bomin•
ion so busy at this late period of the

Crops in Ontario.
Reports to the department of agricul-
ture from all parts of the province show
that the long continued drought is cans-
ing great anxiety for the future in the
minds of vegetable growers, Late
planting of cauliflower and cabbage and
nelery are being delayed beyond their
proper time, and if the drought contin-
ues mnoh longer will be the cause of
great damage to other crops. In the
Western division of the province, es
shown by reports from Sarnia, St,
Thomas, Stratford, Woodstook and
London, the tomato crop is fair, although
improving rapidly. It shows some dam-
age from out worm and potato bug.
The potato crop is doing well and the
onion crop looks promising, while the
celery Drop shows early planting delayed
by drought. Sarnia reports an increas-
ed acreage in peas and beano in the Port
Arthur market.
Summer Time Advertising,
The railways of Canada have built up
immense and profitable summer tourist
traffic by the eonsistenoy and persistency.
of their advertising. Of course they
have the quality, so to speak, at the
bank of the advertisement. That is to
say the summer resorts and hotels they
advertise have to be np to the notice.
In Many instances, too, it is within the
knowledge of all,railwaye have made the:
summer resort. Places that were un-
heard of or were inaccessible before the
railways have opened them np and have
provided acoommodatien for those who
'go there. There is no better study for
the businessman who has his doubts
about the ability of summer advertising
to make business than the study of the
railway advertisement of the summer re-
sorts.

Drainage Demonstration.
The Ontario Agricultural College is
emphasizing the value of drainage again
this summer, for which purpose drain-

day July 21st at the hour of 2 o'olock p.
m. ono of those demonstrations will be
held on the farm of Mr. Thomas Gilmore,
Wingham, concession. 8, Tnrnberry

epeoial interest as some difficult plaoe
to drain are involved. Besides the dis-
cussion of the particular problems of
this farm, there will be e. demonstration
of methods of finding the fall over a
ditch, determining the grade, digging
true to grade, etc, Those of our readers
interested in drainage should not miss

Wins Gold :Medal,
The many friends of Miss Wilma
