—It is estimated that one-sixth of
the income of the agricultural states
of America was lost in 1004 by the
lack of help to gather the harvest.
This year is expected to witness a
repetition of that history. The sante
story narks the harvest of the Cana-
dian Northwest.

—The Chesley Enterprise (Liberal)
says :—Three hundred and forty thou-
sand dollars was paid out of the public
treasury of Canada in oil bounties last
year. The oil and steel bounties and
Senate must go, or else there will be a
big shaking up in the political parties
at the next Dominion elections.
— Premier Whitney in an interview
stated that it was not the intention of
the Government to make wholesale
dismissals of the justices of the peace,
although some would be dropped. No
commission had been issued since 1884,
and it was found now that many of
the justices were incapacitated
through old age, while others had re-
moved from the country. These, of
course, would be let go, but instruc-
tions had been issued through the At-
torney -General to retain as many of
the old justices as possible.

—The resources of New Ontario are
only beginning to be developed, and
the Cobalt mines are just now attract-
ing attention. Silver there appears
to be easily had for the digging, and
judging from reports, one has only to
shoulder his pick and spade and un-
earth the precious metal, Ontario has
really a Klondyke within her own
borders. Her timber, nickel and silver
resources, if properly developed, will,
.in the near future, give employment
to thousands of toilers, and the agri-
culturists of older Ontario must needs
furnish a large proportion of the food
there consumed. The Temiskaming
railway, to be operated by electric
power, will be an important factor in
developing the mineral wealth of the
northern part of Canada's banner
province.
* *
—Geo. T. Angell, editor of "Dumb
Animals," says :—"If President Roose-
velt shall act wisely and study to pro-
mote peace and good -will among na-
tions, he may accomplish vast good
for our country and the world, and go
down to posterity side by side with
Washington and Lincoln. What he
has done already towards atreaty of
petite between Russia and Japan is a
long step in the right direction. Let
him add to this a proposition to the
great European powers to join with
us in an agreement to build no more
war -ships during the next three or
five years, and he may not only save
us and all the European powers who
sign the agreement millions of dollars
of taxation, but also have done touch
for which the world will have reason
to be grateful."
—Now we are told that the whole
human race is likely to disappear by
natural process in the not distant fu-
ture. Dr. Samuel Williston, professor
of paleontology in the University of
Chicago, says that if we apply conclu-
sions derived from the history of the
past, we must reach the belief man
will disappear as other species which
are no longer in existence have disap-
peared. Other species of the past, he
says, have had a time limit, long or
short, in proportion as it was highly
specialized or otherwise. Man has be-
come so developed as to fit him for
existence only under conditions as
they exist now. With a change of
these conditions the professor seems
to think man would soon cease to exist
:altogether. Wonderful men some of
these professors, eh ?

—The New York Tribune remarks
thus :—Overwhemed with disaster in
the northeast of Asia, Russia is still to
be reckoned with in the southeast of
the same continent. That, at (east, is
evidently the official British view of
the case, if we may judge from Lord
Kitchener's strenuous preparations,
and, indeed, from the words of the
Prime Minister himself. Lord Kitch-
ener is the last man who would be
sensational or recklessly alarmist. Yet
at the very momentwhen Port Arthur
was slipping from Russia's grasp, he
said, "r"t"e have every indication that
our northern neighbor is pushing for-
ward her preparations for the contest
in gulf} the shall have to fight for
existenee? Wert only two months
ago, Mr. Balfour declared in the douse
of Cotnmotls, "We have iw allet o>_hs-
nese to consider what eon and wll4
cannot be done by our great military
neighbor in the Middle East." Nor
does it seem strange that they should
hold these views, even at the time of
Russia's greatest disaster in Manchu-
ria and the Japan Sea, when we re-
member that all through this war she
has retained intact between the Cas-
pian and the Pamirs a select veteran
army more numerous than the whole
military force of the British Empire..
•
—A. New York despatch announces
that twenty-four religious denomina-
tions, containing 18,000,000 con)tuhuli-
cants, have each appointed front five
to fifty delegates Co meet in that city
on November 15th, to take part t to an
inter -church conference on federation.
The delegates will hold a week's ses-
sion in Carnegie Hall, the object being
the federation of the Protestant forcesccs
of the United States, Sixty speakers
have been placed o11 the program, and
the presiding officers include five
bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, six bishops of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, one of the Reform-
ed Episcopal Church, one of the Mora-
vian body, and representatives of the
Presbyterian, Congregational, Baptist
and other denominations, two U. S.
s Supreme Court justices, two judges of
1 State courts, a U. S. Senator, aCon-
gressman, aGovernor, a Mayor, and
several college presidents and profes-
ssors, editors and ministers. The dis-
I cussion will cover religious educa-
tion, the social order, evangelization,
home and foreign missions, fellowship
of faith, the national life and Christian
progress. The programme promises
local denominational rallies and other
things, not least of which is a recep-
tion to the delegates at the Waldorf-
Astoria. The chairman of the execu-
tive committee is Dr. William Henry
Roberts of Philadelphia.

—Few people realize the resources
of British Columbia, one of our own
provinces. Roughly speaking, the
province is a huge rectangular terri-
tory lying between the parallels of
latitude 49° and 60°, and extending
from the Rocky Mountains to the Pa-
cific Ocean. It is 700 miles long and
450 wide. Within its area night be
stowed away two Englands, three Ire-
lands, four Seotlands and a tidy patch
of country 5,000 miles square would
still be left. The greatest present
source of revenue in the province is
the mines, but it is by the magnificent
and practically untouched forests that
British Columbia holds her heaviest
mortgage on future prosperity. There
are here the unthinkable number of
182,750,000 acres of primeval forest,
the largest compact area of available
timber on the continent if not on the
globe. Norway and Sweden have only
58,000,000 acres, Australia and New
Zealand together only 40,900,000 and
Japan only 28,000,000. In the year
1904 the 135 mills in British Columbia
cut 348,031,790 feet of lumber. It
should be remembered that, owing to
atmospheric conditions, the density of
these forest areas is immensely greater
than that found in the forests of the
East, and the mildness of the winters
permits operations to be carried on
throughout the year. As high as
500,000 feet of lumber to the acre have
been known there, while the Eastern
lumberman considers 20,000 not a bad
average. Here, then, is a practically
inexhaustible supply; and the market
is the world.
THE WEST WILL DECIDE.
Rev. 0. Darwin, Superintendent of
Missions in the N. W. Territories, ad-
dressed the Summer School in God-
erich on Friday last, on the subject:
"Our Missions in the New Provinces."
Touching on the educational question,
Mr. Darwin said :—
"We will need a national school
system, without any separate schools,
where the children will be taught to
be Canadian citizens. Some of you at
any rate have been making a big noise
about these things, and we have not
been making half the rumpus, but if I
understand that people out there in
the West, and if I understand the
situation, as I come into contact with
them, they say that when we elect a
Legislature in the new Province of
Saskatchewan and Alberta, WE WILL
DEAL WITH THE EDUCATIONAL QUES-
TION. We will have something to say
as to what shall be the system of
schools in the land.
"When you come into contact with
the people, you have to move, and I
believe that the people of this great
Province will have something to say
in regard to that educational policy.
And I believe the day is coming when
we will have compulsory education,
and the children of incoming foreign-
ers will have to learn the English
language, and we can talk to them.
We need a national school system."
-1:
57,500,000—FOR WHAT ?
(Weekly Sun.)
The $300,000 in extra indmnity paid
menhbers of Parliament is not the only
unjustifiable outlay in connection with
the eost of legislation. We have, in
addition to this, the expense of main-
taining to Vice -regal establishment at
Ottawa and semi -Vice -regal establish-
' rents at each Provincial capital in
Confederation, To maintain the office
of Governor-General alone is costing
this country $120,000 a year, aside
from the interest on capital Invested
in the official residence, In round
figures, the salaries of the Governor
and his aides are $52,000 a year; the
permanent staff costa $10,000; Contin.
gepAles (including $16,000 for travel),
$10,000 ; fuel and light for Rideau
111111, $3,000; luaintaining Rideau Hall,.
$25,00() ; grounds of sante, $5,000 ; and
repairs to private car, nearly $1,500.
Then there are the Lieutenant Gov-
ernors of the various Provinces. The
salaries of these 1Utu)unt to $71,00t) n
year; they will be increased when the
two new Provinces are brought into
being to at least $80,000. But, as in
the case of the Governor-General,. the
salary does not cover the whole bill,
There are residences and coutingen-
cies at each Provincial capital as well
as at the capital of the Dominion, In
Ontario the cost of maintaining Gov-
ermnent House and the ()Mee of Lien-
teltallt-GOVelhOr amount:: to $18,000 a
year. The principal invested in the
official residence would earn au inter-
est of probably $15,000 more, thus
making the total charge $33,000 a year.
Thecost
of maintaining the residence
and Offices of the Provincial Lieuten-
anht-Governor is borne out of Provin-
cial revenues, and we have no means
of knowing what this amounts to in
the case of the other Provinces, but it
is probably safe to place it at $70,000
at the least. That would mean a total
expenditure for the whole of Canada
on these Vice -regal and semi -Vice-
regal courts of almost $300,000 a year.
Even if we place the average expen-
diture under these heads, since Con-
federation, at $200,000—and it has
averaged more than that—the total
would aggregate over seven and a half
million dollars. What have the people
secured in return? What official ser-
vices have any of the gentlemen who
have filled the various offices perform-
ed that could not have been performed
as well with the aid of a rubber
stamp ? On the other hand, we have
had maintained, with the sweat -stain-
ed money of the toilers, official resi-
dences at Ottawa, Toronto and other
centres which have set 0 pace in ex-
travagant living which is wholly in-
compatible with democratic simplicity.
The language of Sir William Mnlock
when in Opposition, justified the peo-
ple in at least expecting 0 reduction in
this outlay under Liberal rule. In-
stead we have the salary grab for
members and pensions for ex -Minis-
ters.
Sir Jas. Watson's Opinion.
He says that the commonest of all
disorders, and one from which few
escape is Catarrh. Sir Jas. firmly be- ,
lieves in local treatment, which is best
supplied by "Catarrhozone." No case
of catarrh can exist where Catarrho-
zone is used ; it is a miracle worker,
relieves almost instantly and cures
after other remedies fail. Other
treatments can't reach the diseased
parts like Catarrhozone because it
goes to the source of the trouble along
with the air you breathe. Oatarrho-
zone is free from cocaine, it leaves no
bad after-effects, it is sitiply nature's
own cure. Accept no substitute for
Catarrhozone which alone can cure
Catarrh.
