SEAFORTH,,PRIDAY, JUNE 24,1881 Commencing to' Show Them- selves. The City of Winnipeg, am ng other good things, have a railway e : citemens on hand'ja.st now. The Sout. Western Railway Company, which wa: charter- ed by the Dominion Parlia •• ent last session to construct a' rail , ay south west of Winnipeg, have appli:d to the Winnipeg Council for a bonusE of 5200,- 000 to assist them intheir nterprise. This road,if constructed,woul. tie of im- mense benefit to the people of i anitoba, and particularly- those of Winnipeg. The proposition of the Corn . any was consequently very favorably r ceived by the Winnipeg Council,' and a by-law granting the bonus was read :,first time preparatory to having it sub.•itted for a vote of the ratepayers, and he further proceedings would doubtless ave been taken before this, but the; • osition of affairs came to the ears of the magnates of the Pacific Railway Synd tate, and they determined not to have their special preserve poached upn in this way. They according) communicated with the Winnipeg Council,asking them to stay proceedings ith the South Western Company as they ha e a much more favorable offer to make to the city. This offer has at length been made. It is, in short, that the Syndicate will construct a road over the same route for the same bonus in money and ex- emption from taxation for their property for all�time to come. As a bribe to in- duce the Connell to accept this offer they further agree to locate t eir work- shops and stock yards for Loth their main line and this branch in Winnipeg. This offer is made, however way that it is evident that r� abandon their,project they content with a very mach smaller bonus from the city. In the' meantime they have accomplished their obj:eet.: They have created a division among the peo- ple and in the Council, and have delay- ed further proceedings towards aiding their rival, at least until they get a chance to look aroundithem and recon- oitre. That they will ultimately kill. out the South Western Company, there is no doubt. The solicitude of the Syndicate will be filly understood' when we explain that this South -Western Company's Road is the only independent road that can be constructed in Manitoba at least for the next twenty years to come, as their charter was granted. previous to the closing of the bargain between the Canadian Government and the Syndi- cate. If this road were --built it would in a very short time secure a connection with an American railway and would be a strong competitor with the Syndi- cate road, andavould destroy, at least to some extent, the monopoly of the carry- ing trade of the North-West. If the Syndicate can prevent the construction or commencement of this road for a year, when the charter expires, they will have their monopoly complete, and have sure possessign of the whole carrying: trade for 'the next twenty years. Hence their anxiety. If the people of Winnipeg and Manitoba are wise' they will hold the ver Cage ground they now possess, but th re is .-little prospect they will do so, s the Syn_ dicate is already all 'powerful in Mani- toba, and this selfish action on their part is but the beginning. What the end- ing will be it is very difficult to pre- dict. We fear nothing short of the ab- solute possession of the whole Dominion will satisfy them, and if we mistake not the people will soon find themselves powerless to check them once they get going. THE POLITICIANS of North Waterloo are having a hot time of it this week. The nomination to select a representa- tive to fill the vacancy ca; sed by the appointment of Mr. Sprin er stile repre- sentative of the constituency in the Local Legislature, to the hrievalty of the County, took place ou onday last. Judging by the reports here was a regular old fashioned field day. Some twenty or more candidates were pro- posed; but after airing their eloquence they all withdrew with the exception of Mr. Snyder on the Reform side and Mr. Walter on the Conservative. Mr. Hardy, the Provincial Secretary, was present, and delivered an address in which it is said he jtcstfiecl the action of the Government in appointing Messrs, emolu- ment and Springer to offices of in their own constituencies while they were yet met rs-of the Legisla- ture. Mr. Hardy is a pretty clever fel- low, but we are much afraid his so call- - ed justification would not' be very con- sistent or convincing. He - had better leave that alone, own up that the Government has done wrong,' and pro- mise to avoid a similar error for the future. The constituency is largely Reform, and if the party is united the election of Mr. Snyder s ed. without difficulty. takes place on 'Month/. material upon which th` have to work is .night charges of extravagance expenditure were so tho ed at the general eleo years ago, that when it li bring them up again, tl they have to be aband only accusation the Opp have' to plead is the app Springer the previoue� This, in itself, is a very but it is not sufficient weight.

In ntroducing the toast of 'the evening the chairman glowingly eulogized Mr. Rogers for his public spiritedness and enterprise, aud pre - dieted that he would yet be the Balt king of Canada, and that Brussels might be the great salt entre or hub. r. Rogers made a ery happy reply, in orde ed the tubin and pumps for his whih he stated hat he bad already well, and that he intended proceeding and that salt wo d be manufactured as soo as it was pos ible to have it. The eve ing, upon t whole, was most pleasantly spent. The speeches were short, pithy and tO the point, and the Ben s were goad, nd all seemed to vie with each other make things as plea- sant and agreea le !as posSible. Mr. Rogers may well eel I pleased with the handsome manne in ,which the citizens of Brussels have shewn their appreci- ation of his enter rise. —As we state last week, salt was struck in Mr. ogers' test well on Thursday at a de th of 1,000 feet. The bed has now bee bored through and has been found t be of a depth of 20 feet of solid salt. This, although not SO deep a, strata as in Seaforth and some other places, is as much as is re- quired, and for all practical purposes is as good as a depth of lone hundred feet. As will be rem mbered, a company consposed of lead ng citizens of Brus- sels sunk a _test well -in that village about nine years goi. Boring was then prosecuted to a d pt of 1,400 feet, and although indicati us ef a saline deposit were observable, et no bed was found sufficient to justi y the supposition that salt could be pro ured in paying quan- tities, and the p ject was abandoned. This well was BA ated to the north of the village OD the Grey side. . The present well, wh re salt has been found, is about three -g enters of a mile fur - mi e west of the Id one, and. is on the M rris side of th village. The princi- pa drawback to 'its lecation is its dies ta es from the railway station, nearly a mile, which will (coupe a considerable itional expo se in shipping, and petition has ow cut the profits on t so low that urrent prices will not mit of superfluous extras.
