AND COMMENTS, At else Liberal convention at Brussels on on Tuesday-, • Mr. W. R. Kerr, of the t3russe's Piet was unanimously nominated as the can- didate for the Ontai:io Legislature for East Huron. We heartily congratulate Brer $err on receiving the nomination end feel sure he will have no trouble in keeping East Enron in the Lthoral columa. Further particulars as to the convention and candidate are held ever r until our next issue. r The story of Canada's timber wealth is a w uderful tale. Two thousand miles '• long is its field of uncut timber compris- ing 1,500,000,000 acres divided into three great baits. To put it briefly —according X to Dominion anthoritiss--Canada'atimb er area is four times greater than the timber area of the United States, three times greater than the timber area of guttas, twice as great as the timber area of all Europe. And this source of wealth lit praoticady untapped. - The three prairie provinces have al- most doubled their population in five years. The oftioial figures are as fol. lows; — 1906 1901.

W. K. MoNaught, til. P.P., thinks the Toronto press is saying too trench in connection with the liaease investiga- tion now being heldin that city. 'Che Globe Comes out and says:--" We oan say to the member for North Toronto that the.newepapermen of the city care very little for the "interests" which to the politician seem so sacred. We have had enough of standing by the "interests" of thiel or that clique of politicians. What is needed is an honest and thorough in- veetigation, and all this "insinuation" about things as they were under "the Ross Ministry" is irrelevant and incon- seguent bluff. Tarn on the light every. 'ts•liere• .. . During debate in the foase of Wm - teens an incidental reference was mad e to Mr. Fowler's connection with the deal, exposed dnriug the investigatiou by the Insurance Commission, by certain mem- berg of Parliament in railway lands in the.Northwest. Mr. Fowler, angered by what had been said, declared thatif his private affairs were not left alone he would expose the connection of mem- bers on the Government side with wo- men, wine, and graft. We can heartily endorse the Listowel Banner when it says : —" We by no means agree with the doctrine that the private life of a public Stank is of no public concern. A man who is dishon est or unmoral in private life is not worthy of public trust. We cannot separate our judgment of a man's character into two separate parte; ' if he ie nutrnstworthy in his private affairs few will be found willing to trust him with public affairs. Men who ask public confi.ienoe should be worthy of it, both in pnblto and in private. flat any man who will repeat private scandal, who Will blacken a man's oharaoter and not be able to grove his charge or wittitij, to drive it home, is a man who is not lit for association with docent fellow beings If the things Mr. Fowler said are true it is time we fel know it and the guilty ones, no matter who they are or what their position. are driven from pubi c life If Mr, Fowler wore merely. trying to cover np his own wrong•doiug by the repetition of baseless scandal, that is double reason for his own retirement " • 17''/i a Elliott got away from hint at all sry, .?#9 stages at the game.

Nicholson—McDonald—That the re- port of the Finance committee be adopted—carried. The Electric Light .accounts, amount- ing to $426.04, were laid on the table, recommended for payment by the Fi- nance committee. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT. The Executive Committee recom- nl,ended as follows :- 1 -4 -That any transient trader having paid the fee of $50, after• paying two years' taxes, • and being still a rate- payer. shall have the balance of the fee refuuded him. 2—That we find that the Council of 1900 sanctioned extensive improve - meats in the electric light plant, and that $1,850 of the cost is still unpaid ; also that the revenue was $400 less than in 1905 ; therefore it is necessary to practice rigid economy to make the - revenue meet the indebtedness and necessary expenditure. We recom- mend that the Town do the wiring. installing, repairing, supplying of lamps, futures, etc. That the Town buy ail material wholesale or from manufacturers, at lowest cost. That three 'ren giving all their time to the corporation is a'surneient number to inn the plaint, except on special occa- sions. That this will materially lessen expense and increase the revenue. SIGNED. On motion of Cnune. Gordon and Nicholson, the report of the Exe.cutivc committee was adopted in full. Bell—Gregory—That a cheque in payment of water -twain pipes be issued as soon as the chairman certifies that the weight of- the pipes received is correct—carried. _ The Hospital Concert committee, re- presented by Messrs. Greer and Ken- nedy, :asked that the Council grant the Hall=tree for the concerts in aid of the Hospital, seeing that it was a laudable object, and the Hall was so cold that it interfered with the receipts... . Irwin—Nicholson--That the Town Hall be granted free of charge to the Hospital Concert committee, as the proceeds were in aid of Winghatn Hospital. Coun. Gordon asked for explanation regarding rumors. Mr. Greer gave a most satisfactory explanation. The motion was then put and carried. By-law No. 362, for appointment of officers of Council, was read three times and passed, on motion of Bell and Nicholson. Bell—Nicholson—That Dr. T. �� ilsori be allowed to remove his office across the street (while his block is being built), provided he removes it from front street fire Limits within six months—carried. McDonald-- Irwin — That $400 be placed to the credit of the Public School Board, and 3500 to the credit of the High School Board for main- tenance—carried. Gordon—Kerr—That the question of the desirability of having a formal opening of the new post -office be re- ferred to n committee, cousistin$ of Reeve Irwin, Couns. Nicholson, herr, Gordon and Gregory—carried; com- mittee to report at next meeting. Lucknow Lost.

Mies Fleury's case 1e one of many that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured aft- er doctors' help had failed.

Other medicines simply act on the symptoms of a trouble—and natty re- lieve, but they do not cure. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills make new, rich blood— that is why they cure dyspepsia, rheu- matism, anaemia, heart palpitation, headache, backache and the ills of wo- men : all of these are caused by bad blood—Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure them all because they make new blood.

Trade was +hill to -day, bat with the very light tun, prices were well main- tained all round, at the range of last week, with a tendency to advance prices for the very choicest picked cattle. Al. though prices are good in Toronto to. day, they are said to be still below the prices which the drovere for some reason or other are compelled to pay in the country. Good butcher cattle • to -day were firm at $4.25 to $4 50, and a few extra choice picked cattle fetched $4.75 to $4.90. Export cattle are steady, with a vary limited supply. There is a steady demand for good heavy export cattle, but very few in the .w1 ONE WAY SECOND CLASS COLONIST TICKETS 1 on sale DAILY until April 80th to points in British Columbia, Califor- nia, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Montana.
