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

the evening. 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
