NOTES 0ND COMMENTS.
There is a rumor that the salaries of
the members of the Ontario Cabinet will
be increased before the session closes and
that the Ministers without portfolio will
be given something beyond the sessional
indemnity.
Prosperity of the west means prosper-
ity for Ontario, especially the manu-
facturing centres, and in cases of demand
there are always plenty of others to
take the places of those who have left,
If this were not so the death list in any
community would each year cause the
crippling of industrial and other inter-
ests, but human experience shows that
is not the case even with regard to men
whose services have been regarded as
invaluable or impossible to replace.
There is always someone to fill all va•
aancies, and the old world wage on.—
Brantford Cormier.
The fact that these contract prices
have fallen below the figures furnished
by the Government engineers shows the
value of free competition. Probably if
the Government had been building the
line, it would have felt itself fortunate
and worthy of congratulation if it had
kept sithinthe estimates of its engineers;
for politics is not a ver money -tight ves-
sel. Now, however, we have contracts
with builders who are to do the job for
us cheaper than these official figures; and
we have secured these advantageous
terms through the free play of competi-
tion.—Montreal Star.
S! The soil of Ontario is not worked out,
its richness is pronounced and some of it
is only now being opened up. It is jest
as good land as the newer provinces,
but the charm of the pioneer life is
strong upon the sone of the men who
wrested Ontario from the wilderness and
they canrot resist the "call of the wild."
On the other hand the British farmer
who has been used to the comforts of
civilization might with advantage to
himself avoid the sudden transition from
thickly settled Eugland to the lonely
Northwest with ita "league long fur-
rows" by settling for a time in Ontario,
taking the place of our own farmers who
are moving westward.—Ottawa Citizen.
The abounding prosperity which pre
voile throughout Canada is well illu-
strated by the trade returns for the nine
months ended 31st March. These figures
reveal a total foreign trade of $396,859,-
305, fifty-five and three quarter millions
more than for the same period of the
previous fiscal year. The imports for
consumption amounted to $207,202,084,
being a gain of nearly eighteen and one-
half millions. Im1T3rts of dutiable goods
showed an increase of almost sixteen
millions and free goods a betterment of
over seven millions. The latter is an
infallible indication of brisk manufactur-
ing. In regard to exports the showing
is infinitely better. We shipped abroad
domestic products to the amont of $176,-
394,496. an increase of thirty-one and a
half million dollars, The most signifi-
cant gain in exports is that in agricul-
ture, which totals nearly sixteen mil-
lions. The other increases are: Pro-
ducts of the mine, $2,508,440; fisheries,
$4,117,016; forest, $3,245,644; animals
and their produce, $3,504,473; mann-
factures, Z2,139,697.
The estimated coat of the new House
of Refuge building at Bowmauville has
;,nmped from $40,000 to $72,050. It may
go higher yet.

SPRING ADVICE.
Do not Dose with Purgatives and
Weakening Medicines—What
People Need at this Sea-
son is a Tonic.
Not exactly sick—but not feeling quite
well. That's the spring feeling. .0
are easily tired, appetite variable some-
times headaches and a feeling . depres-
sion. Or perhaps pimples an eruptions
appear on the face, or you ve twinges
of rheumatism or ueure -la. Any of
these indicate that the b .od is out of
order, that the indoor 1• e of winter has
left its mark upon yo and may easily
develope into mor serious trouble.
Don't dose yo. el' ' ith purgative medi-
cines in the hop : . at you can put the
blood right. Purgatives gallop through
the system, and weaken instead of giv-
ing strength. What you do need is a
tonic medicine that will make new, rich,
red blood, build up the weakened nerves
and thus give yon new health and
strength. And the one medicine to do
this speedily and surely is Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills. Every dose of this medicine
makes new, rich blood which makes
weak, easily tired and ailing men and
women feel bright, active and strong.
If you need a medicine this spring try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and you will
never regret it. This medicine has
cured thousands and thousands in every
part of the world and what it has done
for others it can easily do for yon.
Medicine dealers everywhere sell these
pills or yon can get them direct from the
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. Brockville,
Ont., at 50 cents a box or six boxes for
$2.50.

the great beyond in the person of Mrs

CICLROSS.
Mr. Keith having bought the Me -
Naughton farm, sold his 50 acre lot to
his brother Robert. We have not heard
the exact figure but understand that it is
somewhere between $3,500 and $4,000.
Mr. Harry Hill, of the 5th of Culross,
left for the West by the C. P. R. excur-
sion last week. He goes at present to the
vicinity of Calgary, but intends later go-
ing to Edmonton. He will take up a
homestead and settle down to farming.
Two good pieces of farm land on the
4th concession of Onlross changed hands
at good prices during the week. Peter
McNaughton sold his 100 acre farm to
John Keith for $7,000, which is general-
ly regarded as a high figure; but the soil
is good, in an excellent state of cultiva-
tion and a good equipment of
barns and out buildings. Mr.111cNangh-
ton is retiring from farming and will
go to Teeswater to live, having bought
the residence of Ii., F. Ronson on Brown-
lee St.
About the middle of March Mr. and
Mrs. John McKenzie, of the 4th of Cul-
ross, received word from Nananimo,
B, C. that it was thought that their son-
in-law James Haslam (husband of their
second daughter, Kate) of that city, had
been accidentally drowned on the coast
of Vancouver Island. Later informa•
tion was received here the other day
through a dopy of the Nananimo Free
Press of March 26, which contained the
following; "The body of James Hass
lam, the unfortunate man who left here
in a rowboat on March 2, for Nanoose,
was found on the beach at Qtialicnm
yesterday by Capt. W. Gardiner, Of the
Str. Fern. Beside the body was a boat,

MARSHALL SAUNDERS
The Popular Canadian Author.
I£ the temperature of an author's popularity can be measured by the ther-
mometer of sales, then surely the most popular writer in Canada is Miss Marshall
Saunders, whose 'Beautiful Joe" has sold 400,000 copies, and been translated
into Swedish, German and Japanese.
At her grandfather's house in Milton, Nova Scotia, Miss Saunders was born
in 1801, the daughter of a clergyman, and a descendant of the John Alden im-
mortalized in verse by Longfellow. Her early days were spent in the beautiful
land of Evangeline where the very air seems redolent of romance and historic mem-
ories. When she was six the family moved to Halifax, and there she received the
foundation of her education in private and public schools until fifteen, when she
was sent to a boarding school in Scotland and thence to France to put some finish-
ing touches to her education.
On her return to Nova Scotia she taught school for a time and then drifted
into literature. Her first short story brought forty dollars, but she soon realized
that real success could not be plucked like a rose in a garden; she must pay the price
in years of observation, study, training and practice. She spent several years in
foreign travel, as a post -graduate course in experience, and then returned to Nova
Scotia, ready for the serious work of her life.
In 1S94 the American Humane Educational Society offered a prize of 8200
for the best story illustrating kindness to dumb animals. Miss Saunders determined
to compete for it. She spent six months in writing a story, the background of
which was Largely autobiographic and the spirit pervading it her own intense love
for animals, the silent appeal of their helplessness finding ever a sympathetic echo
in her heart. The committee of award in giving the prize to her book "Beautiful
Joe," said: "the author has genius, heart and insight. It is an admirable story
and should have an immense sale and become a standard for all libraries," and
yet this sweet, sympathetic study of dog life, despite its splendid endorsement,
went begging among the publishers for six months before it was accepted, Miss
Saunders having availed herself of the privilege of forfeiting the prize money and
retaining her manuscript.
When published, it gave her a place in the very front rank of writers of animal
stories. Her "Tilda Jane," a simple, natural, pathetic yet humorous story, adds
a new character to the charming literature of childhood. In her ambitious novel
"Rose sl Charlitte," she gives a delightful portrayal of the life of the Acadians in
the historic country around St. Mary's Bay, a realm of idyllic romance, where
trials and sorrows seemed to sanctify and purify the people to higher things.
Entered according to Act of the Parliament of Canada, in the year 1905, by W C. Mack, at the Department of Agriculture
who was about 45 years of age, was a
native of England, and has lived in this
country for many years. He was a pro-
minent .mining,
ro•minent.mining, man, spending a great
deal of his time prospecting. He was
also government road foreman for a
number of years, about this district. He
leaves a wife and four children' residing
in this city, also a sisterand three
-brothers. He was well-known and
highly respected by all who knew him,
and the heartfelt sympathy of the whole
district is extended to his relatives in
their sorrow.

Toronto, April 17—The run at the City
Cattle Market to -day was 58 cars, with
906 head of cattle, 153 sheep and lambs,
500 hogs and 368 calves.
With a comparatively light run to- -
day at the Oity Cattle Market prices
were generally well maintained, though
the market is not so strong that it would
stand much pressure. As it was, how-
ever, prices were in some cases a little
higher, if anything, than last week.
Drovers still complain that they have
to pay higher prices in the country than
they can get in the city. On the other
hand, but,bers and shippers both claim
that they are paying for cattle more
than they are really worth in view of
general conditions elsewhere,
