(Forest Free Press ) Several of the leading journals of the province are discussing the depopulation of Ontario,a question of vital importance at the present time. While Canadians generally are rejoic- ing and rejoicing with perfeot propriety over the wonderful development of the Went, thoughtful people are beginning to ask tnemseives what is to be the ef- fect on Ontario of the heavy drain on ,.her best blood and brains which the West is making. For several weeks now the country correspondeuts of our exchanges have been telling of farewell parties, addres- ses and presentations to promising young roan and women who are leaving for the Weat. The exodus has been remark- able. Now, farewell parties and ad- dresses and presentations are not the • marks of respect which the community bestows upon the unworthy and the ine oapable, on the drones and the ne'er-do. wells. These men and women who are leaving the rural sections, and the villa- ges and towns and cities as well, are among the best that the country produc- es. Judged by the tributes paid by the correspondents they are the very people whom, the community can least afford to lose. PULSE OF THE PRESS.

If newspaper reports from, the east are true, this immigration scheme would bear investigation. It seems unlikely that people drawn from the English. slam', and lacking largely in the power of self.heip, can adjust themselves readi• ly to a rural life, and the result of the influx is likely to be an increase of the poor and dependent element in Oana- dtau business centres, -Windsor Record. The result of the G3vernment's action undoubtedly wit be to greatly curtail the agitation for local option, which has recently gained each force in Ontario. Whether so intended or not, this is the compensation which the licensed victual- lers will receive in return for the higher license fees which•the Government is ex- acting, and they are certainly not gett- ing the worst of the deal. -Brantford Expositor. However this may be, the temperance psople have probably learned a lesson. They were not satisfied with the pro- gress made by a Government which seemed'really desirous of meeting their wishes as fast as circumstances would permit. They insisted on a change, and now, by their own evidence, they are worse off than they were before. They have lost ground that they had gained years ago. -Woodstock Sentinel -Review. Why are they going? Ontario is not over -crowed. Farmers atilt complain that they cannot obtain sufficient help for the proper working of their land. Among large employers of skilled and other labor in towns and cities there is no complaint that the supply is greater than the demand. The Boil is not play- ing out; it is still rich and fruitful. la many places it is only just opened up. Why are the people leaving? Evidently because the fever hat caught them. There may he other explanations, but this is the one that is most apparent. What will the effectbe on Ontario? For a time,at Ieast,itcannot but beharm- ful. Immigration is doing something to fill the please of those who are leaving. But even the very beat immigration that comes from the British Isles is but an inmigrant still.

The area of the Chicago fire of 1871 was three and half square miles, and the area of the San Francisco fire is already eight square miles. The Chicago fire rendered 98,500 people and the San Francisco fire 150,000 people homeless. Li the Chicago fire 200 people and in the San Fran- cisco fire perhaps 1,000 people lost their lives.
