A change has been made in the
Municipal Act regarding procedure,
at the Polls. Two statements were
to be prepared, by the Deputy Re-
turning Officer, instead of one, as at-
tached to the Poll Book, and the other
placed M an envelope and handed to
the Clerk of the Municipality along
Witt- the Ballot Box. When the box
is received by th,e clerk, he is not to
open it, as in the, past, but is required.
to place his seal upon, it, keeping the

The damage occasioned by forest
fires in Canada during
the past sea-
son was probably the lowest on re-
cord. On Dominion Crown Lands in
the west the area burnt over was not
greater than two one -hundredths of -
one per cent of the total area under
protective patrol, and similar low los-
sea arc reported by the fire -wardens
of British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec
and the Maritime Proviinces. Thus it
would seem a mistake to place a high-
er fire risk on forest property thanon
town and city property, for even un-
der the present methods of forest pro
tecrion, which are fax below their
highest practicable efficiency, the loss
from fire represents a smaller per-
centage of the total wealth of the
forest property thark it does of prop-
erty in settled communities.

SHORTAGE IN TEA CROP.—
There has been a thirty-five million

England and Canada, as practically all
the teas used ;in these countries come
front Ceylon and India, but as it for-
ces Russia to take large quantities of
Indian: tea this year the shortage in
China. affects the price of all teas,
and gives us to -day the highest figure
that tea has reached for twenty-five
