EDITORIAL NOTES.
The merchants marine of Canada at
the close of the fiscal year, consisted of
7,768 vessels with 738.533 aggregate ton-
nage, an increase daring the year of 166
vessels of 16,228 tone. At the close of
the year 36,430 men were employed on
Canadian ships There were 327 new
veesele added to the Canadian register
of 25,306 tons, and valued at 81,138,770.
The declaration of commercial peace
between Oanada and Germany does net
appear to have yet produced much im-
provement in the trade between the two
countries. There was a small inorease
in the imports of eaoh country, the larg.
er being in the imports by Germany of
Canadian goods. Daring the three
months following this removal of the
surtax Germany imported Canadian
goods to the amount of $1,902,723, an in-
crease of $181,327. In the same time
Canada imported German goods to the
valve of $805,734, an increase or $392,

The very faot that not nearly all the
really arable land in Old Ontario is being
worked is a serious situation. When
the land is not being all worked it marine
that not nearly the number of hogs are
being produced; it means that not raw-
ly the amount of oerial food is being
brought so market, and ocher things in
proportion, and then there follows the
natural result, high cost of Iiving in
towns and cities. It is all very well for
Hon. Mr. Duff to go np to New Ontario
and tell the settlers there that they have
more conveniences than the real original
settlers in the older part of the province.
He encourages these settlers in making
such remarks, bat what the Hon. Jim
ought to devote time to is giving a little

CANADA'S COAL DEPOSITS.
The goal tests begun by the Dominion
department of mines at McGill Univer.
sity in 1907 have been completed and a
report thereon is in process of prepara-
tion. It has been found that no coal
fields of importance odour in Oanada
between eastern New Brunswick in the
east and Saskatohewan and Western
Manitoba in the west—a distance of
2,000 miles—but throughout this great
ooallees territory there are numerous
and very extensive fields of peat, which
are wholly undeveloped.
The department has divided the coal
fields of the conntry"into four sections
and estimates the extent of deposits as
follows: Section 1 (the Maritime Pro-
viacss), bituminous coal only, 10,000,-
000,000 tons; section 2 (Manitoba, Sask-
atchewan, Alberta and British Oolnm-
bia), antliraoite, 40,000,000 tons, bite-
minous 80, 900,000 000, lignite 80,000,000,-
000; seotion 3 (the Paoific coast and
western mountains), anthracite 10,000,-
000 tone, bituminous 2,000;000,000 tons;
lignite 1,000,000,000; seotion 4 (the Mao
kenzle basin), Iignite only, 1,000,000,000
tons, Iu addition, there are certain
small fields. notably one in Ontario, of
no present interest, containing some
millions of tons of lignite peat, and
others of doubtful extent and valve in
the far north.
LETTER FROM THE WEST.
Olive, Man„ Ang, 5th, 1910
To the Editor of the Wingham Tints:
Dear Sir, --On my first journey
to Manitoba a few weeks since, previous
to coming to Winnipeg, I was quite pre.
pared to view a considerable part of the
country in a wild state and the high and
sheathing rooks affording a narrow pas.
sage for the railway train to run
through, but did not expect to see so
large a tract of country from Coldwater
till we reached Winnipeg in its original
state and for the most part unfitted for
cultivation. From Winnipeg to Plu-
mes the night prevented us viewing the
oonntry. The appearance of Manitoba
in this locality and for miles westward,
assumes the oharacter of a vast level
table land„whioh et varying distances'
is bounded on one side by the Tiger
Daok and Riding Mountains, the sum-
mits of which seem to touch the sky.
Speaking of the grain crop is the
western country, the conditions of
weather, hail storms, and the varying
extent of droath make it diffloult to es-
timate the ultimate prospect of yield-
ing. Generally speaking, the dronth
has been most severe to the south of the
C. P. R. line. The fields I have seen
are not worth cutting, shine few have
been ploughed down and a man from
Glenboro reports crops a complete fail.

The best crops I have seen were at

a few days and in Dauphin district
where they have had more rata. Far-
ther north the orops are conjectured to
yield per acre in some places -40 bush-
els of wheat and 60 to. 70 bushels of oats
and barley. The contemplated price of
wheat for the ensuing season will in
some measure mitigate the partial fail.

Don't tell me now, my Willie hey, of

LACK OF PURE BLOOD
The Cause of Most Illness --The
Cure, Erich The Blood Supply,
Any illness ceased by lank o; blood
will be benefited and cured by a course
of treatment with Dr, Williams' Pink
Pills, These Pilis increase the red mat-
ter in the blood and enable it to carry to
every organ and tissue an increased
supply of oxygen, the great supporter of
ail organio life. This has been proved
by cures in thousands of cases not only
in Oanada but in all parts of the world.
More people to -day owe health and hap-
piness to Dr. Williams' Pink Pella than
to any other medicine. One of these is
Mr. James Starr, of Galahad, Alta„
who says: —"A few years ago I became
ill and very weak. Some days I would
have a hot dry fever and on others
would be bathed in a cold sweat, I
grew weaker and weaker until I could
do no kind of work and was fiu tile' con-
fined to my bed. I tried several doc-
tors, who oost me considerable money,
bat did me no good, as I was still get-
ting weaker and weaker. I asked the
last doctor who attended me to tell me
frankly if he could care me, and he
toid me my case was so complicated
that he did not think he could help me.
I told him I had heard a great deal
about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and ask.
ed if he thought they would help me.
His reply was: "Well, they won't do
you any harm and they may help you."
I sent for a half dozen boxes at onoe
and began taking them. After taking
three boxes there was no doubt they
were helping me, and I continued using
them for some time longer, with the
result that I am now as strong and
hearty and can do as good a day's work
as any man in my neighborhood."
These pills are sold by all medicine
dealers or may be had by mail at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from

Annihilation of Spaoe.
Not many years ago it was a very
common thing to hear a man say, "I am
from such and such a county," Who-
ever hears or speaks of counties nowa-
days? The passing of the ox•team and
the Doming of the horseless carriage
have obliterated county lines. How
long does a county last with a forty
horse power automobile whizzing along
the road? The 201k Century Limited
trains almost as effectually dispose of
state lines. When yon can leave New
York late in the afternoon and he in,
Chicago early the following morning,
one .city is little more than a suburb of
the other. And if the areoplane be-
comes a prettioal thing, what will be-
come of international lines? When a •
man can sit at his desk in Boston and
talk to a man who is at hie desk in Chi-
cago, andsolose a business transaction
without either man leaving his chair,
each recognizing the other's voice, what
matters it that there are three or four
states separating their bodies? Their
minds have met more quickly than
could have been the case had they been
in adjoining buidings 25 years ago.
Electricity has emancipated the mind
from the body, and given it wings. It
is the mind, .not the body, that does
business. Think of it 1 By placing a
wire to one's ear the mind and the voioe
can fly to a distant city, do busineae
there and return, and immediately go
off to another city, do business there
and return, and do this as many times
in a day as occasion requires.—Busy

Live Stock Markets.
Toronto, Aug, 15—Trada at the Union
stock yards was very slow to -day and
prices declined 25 to 30o below last
week's quotations. This was due to the
fact that the tupply of cattle was in ex-
cess of the demand and that oable ad-
vices reported lower prices in the Old
Country markets.
Drovers, having paid top rates for.
cattle in the country, held out for high
prides. The buyers combined and re-
fused, to do any business until prices
were reduced. The result was that np
to the noon -hour very few loads of oat-
tle went over the soles. The bulk of
these were butcher's, of whioh there
was only a limited supply.
Receipts were 143 carloads, comprie-
ing 2,950 head of battle, 560 sheep and
lambs, 66 hogs and 55 calves. The qual-
ity of the cattle was generally medium
to good, but there was quite a large
number of the rough variety.

cess of the demand and that oable ad-
vices reported lower prices in the Old
Country markets.
Drovers, having paid top rates for.
cattle in the country, held out for high
prides. The buyers combined and re-
fused, to do any business until prices
were reduced. The result was that np
to the noon -hour very few loads of oat-
tle went over the soles. The bulk of
these were butcher's, of whioh there
was only a limited supply.
Receipts were 143 carloads, comprie-
ing 2,950 head of battle, 560 sheep and
lambs, 66 hogs and 55 calves. The qual-
ity of the cattle was generally medium
to good, but there was quite a large
number of the rough variety.
The following are the quotations:
