NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Hon Mr. Monteith has introduced a
bill to amend the municipal act by abol-
ishing the clauses relating to the com-
position of County Couuoils, which now
consist of commiesioners representative -
of various districts, and going bank to
the old system of having the Reeves and
Deputy Reeves compose the (Jo.incils.
A new map has been issued by the
Department of the Iutt'rior, showing the
.most northerly districts possessed by
Canada. The routes of the leading
polar expeditions are marked, and the
line deliminating Canadian territory,
drawn as far north as the pole, theu
southwestward along the 141st meridian
to the boundary between Alaska and
Yukon Territory. The map was pre.
4 pared by Mr. James White, geographer
of the Interior Department.
British immigration to Canada is more
than double that to all the other British
possessions combined. For the four
months ending March 31st the figures
were 28,886, as compared with 22,590 for
the same period of the year previous.
Immigrants to Australia ane New Zea-
land, British South Afrioa and India
during the past four months only num-
bered 13'001. British immigrants to the
United States during the four months
exceeded by 9,780 the number that en-
tered Canada.
Canadian trade returns for the ten
months ending April 30th were issued
Monday. They show the grand total
of imports for consumption to have been
$209,551,815, while exports of domestic
products were $163,951,403. For the
same period of the previous year imports
of all kinds for oonsumption totalled
$199,272,504 and exports of domestic pro-
ducts' $163,559,408, giving an increase in
imports of $10,279,311 and a decrease in
exports of $9,608,005. The duty collected
amonnted to $34,037,280, as against $33,
186,221 for the same period last year.
When the Dominion of Canada de-
cided to build np its Northwest prov-
inces by inducing immigration its first
step was to map ont an advertising cam-
paign. The number of incoming set-
tlers had been averaging about 15,000
per year. Under the direction of the
Minister of the Interior nearly $200,000
was spent in setting forth the attractious
of the great Northwest, and au immi-
gration boom immediately followed.
Last year 128.364 settlers, nearly 50,000
of whom hailed from the United States,
took np their residence in Canada, and
the tide is still increasing. The Domin•
ion has officially demonstrated that ad-
vertising pays.—Philadelphia Record.
Hon. Mr. Hanna has explained that
his hill to amend the license act abso-
Intely prohibits the sale of liquor to per-
sons under 21 years of age. Under the
present act minors may bay liquor if
they have a written order from their
parents or guardians. Another amend-
ment increases the cost of the transfer
of a license to one-half of the cost of the
license. The cost ' of a trans-
fer at present is $50 in Toronto, $25 in
other cities and $10 elsewhere. The
third and last amendment provides that
where prosecutions are launched by the
license department against violators of
the law the whole of the fine imposed
shall go to the department and none to
the municipalities. At the present time
municipalities get the whole of the fine
imposed when prosecutions are made by
the municipalities themselves, but when
they are made by the department the
municipalities get two-thirds of the fine
and the department the remaining one-
third, expenses of prosecution being de-
ducted,

THE SECRET OF HEALTH
Is Rteh Red Blood–Dr. willtams'
Pink Pills Make New Blood.
Good blood --rich, red blood—ie the
only ours for such complaints ae an,,
amnia, decline, heart palpitation, skin
eruptions, rheumatism, kidney troubles
and a host of other every day ailments
Good blood makes you less liable to dis-
ease of every kind. because it streng-
thens and stimulates every organ in the
body to throw off any ailments that may
attack it. Good blood is the secret of
life, and the secret of good, rich, red
blood is Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. These little blood -building pills
have saved lives that doctors and narst s
have dispaired of. They have cured
thousands of"others—they will cure you
too. Mrs. Wm. Boothe Mo trose, Ont.,
says: "For a couple of yes my dough-
ter Meta was in failin, health. She
complained of headache: and distressing
weakness, and seemed . be rapidly go-
ing into decline. We ()united several
doctors, but they aid of help her. She
was apparently .looess, and we were
afraid she woolno recover. She had
no appetite and greatly reduced iu
flesh. At this sta. a friend advised me
to give her Dr. Wi ,lams' Piuk Pills, and
in a few weeks we noticed some improve-
ment in her condition, and that her appe-
tite was improving. We continued the
treatment for a couple of months longer,
and by that time she was again in the
best of health. She had gained thirty-
two pounds in weight, had a good color,
and was in the beat of spirits. I do not
think I am putting it too strongly when
I say I think Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
saved her life."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do only one
thing, but they do that well. They do
not act upon the bowels; they do not
bother with mere symptoms. They
actually make the new, rich red blood
that goes right to the root of the disease
and drives it from the system. But you
must get the geuuipe with the full name,
"Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pule Peo•
ple," printed on the wrapper around
every hox. All medicine dealers keep
these pills or you can get them by mail
at 50 cents a hox or six boxes for 82.50
by writing The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville, Ont.
The expected separate Ministry of
Mines will not be. created. Instead a
man from New Ontario will become
Minister of Crown Lands and Mines, and
Premier Whitney will be President of
the Executive Council. This was the
effect of the Premier's explanation in
the Legislature Monday afternoon of
a second bill respecting the Executive
Council. By this arrangement the Pre-
mier will be relieved of the department
of Attorney -General, which he assumed
on taking office. allowing Hon. Mr. Foy
to take the department. The latter will
on assuming that office no doubt im-
mediately enter upon the preparations
for the measure of°law reform which the
Premier intimated the day the Cabinet
was sworn in would be carried out. It
is understood that the new Minister of
Mines will be Mr. Frank Cochrane of
Sudbury. The office of President of the
Council will assure the Premier the sal-
ary he would receive if he retained the
portfolio of one of the other departments
of Government, namely, $7,000.—Hon.
Mr. Ross, in a brief but concisely
balanced address, criticized the Premier
on the ground that he was not fulfilling
his promise to create a distinct Ministry
of Mines, and later, in a delightfully
happy vein, criticized the measure
changing from "Commissioner" to
"Minister" the title of two members of
the Cabinet.
Purgatives are Dangerous
They gripe, cause burning pains and
make the constipated conditions even
worse. Physicians say the ideal laxative
is Dr. Hamilton's Pills of Mandrake and
Butternut; they are exceedingly mild,
composed only of health -giving vegetable
extracts. Dr. Hamilton's Pills restore
regular movement of the bowels,
strengthen the stomach and purify the
blood. For constipation, sick headache,
biliousness and disordered digestion no
medicine on earth makes such remark-
able cures as Dr. Hamilton's Pills. Try
a 25c box yourself.
Live Stock Markets,
The run of stock offering at the West-
ern Cattle Market Tuesday morning was
heavier than it has been for some time,
and dealers were a little slow in bnying,
expecting prices to decline. In exporters
they were lower, bat butchers held up
fairly well. Sheep and lambs had an
easier tone, and hogs are quoted 150.
lower. The ran amounted to 110 oars,
and included 2,100 cattle, 456 sheep and
lambs, 800 hogs and 176 calves.
Export Cattle—A fairly large number
of cattle were offering, and following a
heavy rnu at the Junction Monday, the
trade suffered somewhat. Daring the
past week or so there has been a rush on
the part of local shpipers to get cattle
away on the first boats, and now that
wants in this regard are supplied they
are not buying y g more cattle than they
must have. Cables received report the
Old Country market as having declined
another Bent to a cent and a half per Ib.
The drovers Wad brought in a fair lot of
cattle, among which • were some good
ones, and they were slow to let them go
lower prices. The consequence was that
little trade was done early in the day'
and it was only later that they Would
accept prices averaging about 20c lower
than those which the cattle would have
brought a week Or so ago. The market
is quoted about this mach lower. Choice
are quoted at $6.60 to $5.80, good to
medium at $5.40 to $5.60, other at $5.25
GO $5.30, and bulls at $4.25 to $4.75.

BUT WILFRID LAURIER
The Premier of Canada
By sheer force of ability and the compelling power of character, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier has reached the highest position in Canadian politics, and
won a name that "must live in the annals of the British Empire." He has
overridden obstacles that would have daunted a man of less virile genius and
patriotism. Though French was his ancestry and language, and Catholicism
his religion, he has become the, leader of the destinies o1 a great English-
speaking nation, the larger part of whose people are Protestants.
He was born in St.- Lin, Quebec, in 1841, of a family of rebels who fough%
bravely under Papineau in the revolt of 1837. From .the little country school
where his teacher, a Scotchman, spurred his ambition and powerfully in-
fluenced his life, he passed to L'Assomption College, and in 1864, after com-
pleting his course in law, entered the Bar. When he made his debut in politics
in 1871 as a member of the Quebec Assembly, his magic eloquence, the fear-
lessness, strength and finality of his words, and the mastery by which he
brought order out of chaos, light out of darkness, thrilled his audience.
Three years later he resigned from the Legislature and was returned to
the House of Commons on the overthrow of the Macdonald government. In
1876 he became minister of inland revenue,. and two year later changes in
polities deprived him of this position He was the acknowledged leader of
the Liberals who were the Opposition party until 1896, when after eighteen
years of waiting, the reins of government again came into their hands and
In the first flush of triumph they made him Premier.
His statesmanship has been broad, liberal, far-sighted; his patriotism
and his love of liberty are manifest in every act and word. He loves and
cherishes the British Empire, and glories in the part that Canada takes in
it; but as a Power of great possibility, sharing with the United States the
golden future of the American continent, he demands of England and the
world the recognition of Canada, not as a babe in the swaddling clothes of a
colony, but as a full grown nation of virility and assured triumph.
Tall, erect, with a handsome presence, clean-shaven face, clear, penetrat-
ing blue eyes, a firm mouth, broad shoulders, a brow masterful and dignified,
a voice soft, sonorous and ever with the suggestion of unexpended reserve,
a smile gentle and soothing as a benediction, with a courtesy and kindness
that surround him as an aura,—this is Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Canada's greatest
orator and statesman.
Entered according to Act of the Parliament of Canad.. In the year 1004, by W. 0. Mack, at tho Department of Agricntture.
was fairly well maintained. There was
a disposition on the part of bnyers to of-
fer less, but the drovers held firm, and,
as the butchers' had to have cattle,
pratty well everything, was bought up
before the middle of the day. Prices are
quoted steady. Good to choice are
quoted at $5.40 to $5.75, fair to good at
$4.80 to $5.20, mixed lots medium at $4
to $4.75, and common at $3 to $3 50.
Cove sold at $2.50 to $4 60, and bulls
at $2.90 to $3.50.
Stockers and Feeders ---The market for
these cattle was fairly brisk, but feeders
had a slightly easier tone. They are
quoted unchanged, however, and stock-
ers are steady. Feeders are quoted at
$4 to $5.60, bulls at 83.40 to $3.S0, stock-
ers $2.50 to $4.25, and stock bulls at
81.75 to $2 60.
Milch Cows—Quoted unchanged at a
range of 830 to $50 each.
Calves—Still too irany poor calves
were offering. The demand for the good
ones is active. Quotations are unchang-
ed at 31 to og per 1b and $2 to $10 each,
Sheep and Lambs—Trade was dull in
tone, and for poor quality lambs it was
particularly bad. Export sheep are
quoted steady to firm at $3 50 to $5.25
per cwt , mixed steady at $4 to $4.50,
grain -fed Iambs $6 to $6 50, barnyards
lower at $3 to $4 and springs easier at
$3 to $6 each.
Hogs—The market is easy and quoted
15c per cwt, lower at $6.60 for lights and
fats and $6.85 for selects.
