that is to say, that it had not placed settlers and , larmers on the forest lands fitted for agriculture, but had practically given them in the great majority of cases over to lumbef speculators.Some idea may be gained of the extent to which this speculation is carried from a perusal of a statement on page 9 of the Minister's report containing comparative statistics of the quantity of lumber cut by twelve license holders on their limits in 1907-8 and the quantity bought by them from owners of lots, lots be it remembered which had been withdrawn from the limits of the license owners for agricultural and coloni-ation purposes, from which it appears that the quantity cf timber cut on the lots, which, says the Minister, was formerly barely worth mentioning, now amounts to 43 per cent.of the t-tzl production of the large firms and companies mentioned.Nor is this all.We find, on looking over the list, that in the Lake St.John district the Chicoutimi Pulp Co.bought from the holders of lots taken from its limits 402,000 feet of lumber more than it cut itself; that on the upper Ottawa J.R.Booth purchased from the alleged farmers as many feet of lumber : as he cut himself, and that in the Chaudiere and Montmagny district Mr.Atkinson purchased from the lot holders ten times as much lumber as he cut on his limits.This, observes the Minister, very significantly, \u201cis merely a consequence of the more or less bona fide occupation of the lots bought under the more or less true pretext of colonization.\u201d In oth.r words, these \u201cmore or less bona fide\u201d settlers did, during the year 1907-08, 43 per cent.of the total lumbering operations of the twelve limit holders mentioned, and sold them back 43 per cent.of the timber to which they were entitled by their licenses.Now let us see how this condition of affairs has affected the provincial revenues.On page 8 of the report we find the Minister saying: \u201cThe financial depression we are now undergoing has had a considerable influence on regular lumbering operations: the revenue from that source has decreased to a marked degree, and also from the fact that the lumber mer-: chants buy from the settlers a very great quantity of lumber on which no dues are collected by the law.\u201d A very great quantity indeed; no less in the case of only the twelve firms mentioned on the next page than 43 per cent.of their total production.Mr.Blouin is still more explicit.The dues, he says, \u201care collected through the license holders by means of the vouchers he is obliged to produce in the shape of an affidavit from every person whose lumber he buys.Nevertheless, owing to the slight efficiency of our outside service generally and to the incalculable number of lots on which lumber is made and where it is scattered everywhere, we lose revenue on much of that lumber, either because it is falsely alleged to come from seig- nories or from patented lots, or because it is falsely alleged to have been cut while clearing.Moreover.if it be observed that in the case of a great many lots for which letters patent have been issued, the latter have been obtained through a fictitious settlement as for a farm, and that holders of patented lots engage in lumbering, an idea can be formed of the amount\u2019 of revenue lost by the Crown in timber dues through such abnormal lumbering operations on lots which under cover of colonization are withdrawn from territories under license at a rate of from 400 to $00 square miles per annum.Not only this, but, says Mr.Blouin, besides the lumber bought by persons that have no license, saw-mill owners, and merchants scattered throughout the province, the statistics concerning which, and the dues that might be exigible, are practically unknown, because the saw-mill owners and merchants make no reports.He says, moreover, that in eight districts alone, which he names, it is said that over two hundred million feet are cut yearly on patented lots or lots under location tickets, and he fully believes it; and finally he concludes by saying: \u201cWe have everywhere to deal with settlers who sre lumber merchants and not with settlers who are farmers.\u201d We have seen that in twelve cases cited, 43 per cent.of the timber cut pays no dues because it is bought by the license- holders from the so-called settlers; in addition we are informed ve Tad va that a much larger quantity is bought from the same sources; by saw-mill owners and merchants scattered through the province.How much the province loses of its legitimate dues it is impossible to state accurately, but it is ascertained enough to enable us to concur with Mr.Blouin in saying: \u201cShould such chase after lots which is called the colonization movement increase to any extent, it is easy to foresee that in ten years the area of our territory under license will have greatly decreased, { and our revenue in proportion.\u201d RENAULT \u201c50 YEAR OLD\" RENAULT \u201cCLUB\u201d \u2018Ç MIENAULT \u201cTHREE STARS\u201d | STANDARD BRANDIES J J COGNAC\u2014ESTABLISHED 1885 Law, Young & Ce, « « - - Montraai MANY HEADS DROP INTO THE BASKET As the Result of Judge Cassels\u2019 Marine Department Report.DISMISSALS IN QUEBEC Are Most Numerous\u2014 Several Prominent Officials are Relegated to Private Life.(Spectal to the Chtonicle.)

A new tubercular theory 8s to leprosy was suggested some time ago by Dr.Charles F.MacDonald | of the Army, who noticed in the Philippines the same facta ar to fish dist which have long been held by Hutchinson ns the cause, The present idea is not that the diet ie at fault but that there in an infection from tuherentone fish-rather startling to be eure, but not at all improbable, The matter is of timely interest in view of the differences of opinion ar tn the transmission of bovine tnber- eulosis.The vast difference | hetween hird tuberculonix end the human var- jetv hae long heen known.and it raises the ausnicion that there may le very many kinds of tubercle bacilli, some of which produce in man other conditions than tuberculonis re we now connider it.The revelation that bmbonie ntaguo ie in reelity a rat diseave and that some rats have a \u201ctolerant immunity\u2019 to the germ han rained comparative pathology to extreme importance.Tt la now necessary to study the para- ten of every lower animal with a view of discovering which of them Ougbec, 33rd March, 1900.oan exist tn man, either harmless! otherwise, rméenelz or TEST SPORTING Seoville got Booger Red x SPORTING GOSSIP OF OLD COUNTRY Preparing for Annual Boat Race\u2014 Footballers Have Grievance \u2014No Derby Betting, \u2014\u2014 On Saturday next crowds will throng the banks of the Thames from Putney to Mortlake to witness the rival blues of Oxford and Cambridge competing in the annual boat race.The dark blues have won the race on thirty-four oe casions and Cambridge three times less, that in 1877 having resulted in a dead heat.Owing to the severe weather the Cambridge crew have ben at Putney rather earlier than usual and have been making a great impression.Comparison of times done by the 1900 crew, at a late period of practice, shows that this year's boat should be one of the.fastest ever turned out by the universities, and it all goes well, should prove equal to the best on record.The Oxford men have been at Henley for nearly three works and bave done some remarkable work over the regatta course.Thev have greatly improved of late and on Thursday beat the record of the course.The light blues have been successful on six out of the seven last occasions on which the rivals have met.Australian exchanges just to hand tell of another record performance bv young George Gray in his second billiard match with Fred Lindrum.The youngster han established an Australlon and also a world's record.having compiled a break of 39.of which no fewer than 504 were made off the red ball, the latter being (he new mark.The previous \u2018best was 445 compiled off the colored ball by the ryme player à few weeks previously in Sydney.Be fore Gray's records are accepted as genuine under English standard conditions, they will require enliehter ment regarding the size of the haulk line on the table ou which the records were made.Tn Australis the balk line is said to be two inches wider than in Fngland and information ax to the performance will he awaited with enger Interest.Tu anv care the boy in a marvel to accomplish such a remarkable feat.| À writer in Country Life, discussing the effects which à dense atmosphere has on the flight of a golf ball, quotes examples of extraordinary drives on the Johannesburg Tinks.chiefly due to the rarity of the nir.In one instance the wine of a driving competition\u2014u player of average ability\u2014sent a bell a carry of 288 vards, the second tnk- ing eredit for 223.que The ways of + the wrestlers are strange and peculidr.Sore time ago Frank Gotch, the\u2019 American, who beat Hackenschmidt at Chicago, went to England with +h: one ohject of again meeting the Ruesian.and so disprove that the bout at Chicago was not a cenuine and sportsmanlike affair.Everybody was anxious that the two should meet, and bulging purses were offered an stain.But the two men did nothing but wrangle in the sporting newspapers, and in the eri Gotch, \u201cdingurted at hix treatment,\u201d and the while Hackenschmidt was busv making it known that \u201cGotch is afraid of me,\u201d returned, vowing that he would never renew his acquaintance with the | mat again.Now it is learned that Gatch and Hackenschmidt are going tv meet in Melbourne durine Cun week.If the match comes off, Hackenschmidt will be found much chanred from what he was when he was last among vou.\u201cT ran across him ovite recently,\u201d says a writer in the Standard of Empire, \u201cat one of our music halle, and be appeared much thinner and less muzeulnr ard powerful than he was, He scemed Hke à man who had not recovers] from na severe illness.W Gotch in the wrestler he would have un believe, he should heat Hackenschmidt.\u201d .The recent purchase of M.Fohrussl's Mogitor by Sol Joel is another in- ol of the great frath Mr.Joel has in French bred horses, though luck has always bren agninet his importations.Fortune has not blessed him; he paid a great deal of money for Fider and Procope coupled after the former's dead heat with the White Knight in the Arcot cup.Poor Boy cost him 816,100 as à vearling.and the three have respectively been cursed with unsoundness, incapacity and had luck mince they were vurchased.Ît remains {to be seen whether Monitor is enpalile of atoning for their dis- anpointmente.Mr, Joel did not find him the equal of Arranmore at the weights and the ex-Teishman just failed to get the verdict.There ie trouble brewing in the rvailma af professional football.The players\u2019 union which enjoys a large and representative membership, has set to work to redress some of the wrongs to which the paid foothall performer in subjected.It han gone so {ar that recognition has been withdrawn by the foothall association.The players\u2019 union, however, is beginning be ane nouneing its intention of seckiner the ald of the law of England to compel clubs to MIAN their contracts in the matter of paying wares, but there ean bo no doubt that the union has greater aspirations in view, such as the abolition of the wage limit _ and the revision of the tranefer law.Under it a man can he secured for next to nothing aud vold at the end of à ven- sont for a sum greater than he is like- ty to carn for himself in many vears and ont of that sum he only rents a measly $60 for changing his place of ahode.Professional footballers are m- ganged in a craft and they are ankine now for treatment similar to that which ix extended to the ordinary worker, lt seems a reasonable request.With the commencement of fiat roe.ing there in an extraordinary interest 4e siéting oround and talking over the Derby horses.This vear, however, is an exception, for there is little to vos sip about.One eannot weigh up 'a Derby like à National, a Lincolnshire or a big handicap; thers are so many different considerations to be rea out despite the occasional uvsettine by such as Signorinetta or others.It s natural that there should be no betting on the Derby for at the vre- sent time it would appear as il one horse alone, Bayardo, stood out by himself.Yet it is by no means extra- ordiuary that there has been no plunging for the prices offered are ridioulous in the extreme.Bayardo is quoted at 9 to 4, and Glasgerion at 5 to 1, twelve weeks before the race.When such prices are an offer long belore a race 8 to take place, betting is a dead letter as a matter of course, It may seem odd to the ring, but backers want a bit of a show, for all kinds of things may haven before June comes round.Who can sav whether Bayardo can get a mile and a hall, and why should Glasgerion stand at 5 to 1.Nato, the Mint, is at 10 to 1, a nice seductive price, in it not, about a colt who har been out once and at that finished \u201cdown the course.\u201d No wonder then that there is a decline in, ante-pore betting.Contrary to general expectations, th seventh \u2018annual \u2018Varsity lacrosse match.at Oxforu, was plaved and resulted in favor of the light blues bv 8 goals to 6.The players, however, will not get the cup this year at least.Australian Rugby The professional b in players have concluded their tour England with a victory over cashire and it is doubtful if they will take such a trip egain, for the paid Rughy players are not popülar in England.Besides, they have ecareely made ends meet, having had bv no meaps a successful tour.The Northern Union, whose guests they were, are reported to have been hard hit.but whether the plavers lost monev is not known.If the Australian tour had yielded a substantial profit.a paid New Zealand team would have been in England next summer and the Northem Union would have tried to develop the game in London.but they will probably curb their ambitions.oNCLE JOE\" MAY TAKE UP GOLF Seventy-Three Years Old, Speaker Cannon Will Try the Game, Washington, March 28.\u2014\u201cUncle Joa\u201d Cannon, seventy-three, and erst- while \u201cshinny\u201d champion of Danville, 111, is thinking of goiog in for golf.The education of Vice-President Jim Sherman in the game by President Taft has excited in Uncle Joe's breast an ambition to take a try on the links himself.\u2019 The Speaker has haixlled a golf club only once in his life.That was during the Portland Exposition, when a covey of pretty girls him to take a wallop at a little white golf ball.I.White Busbey, the Speaker's secretary, is authority for the statement that he hit that ball more than twenty or thirty miles.It skimmed over Mt.Rainier.or some other place much further than the nineteenth \u2018hole over looked to a confirmed golfiet.That record at golf playing, the Speaker opined, would give him a place in history alongside ot John D.Rockeleller and Andrew Camegie.He positively refused to take a second try.fearing he'd \u201cfoozle.\u201d But the call of the Chevy Chase links is being heard about the popular roar for tariff revision, and Speaker Cannon may go in for the game.He has been told that cigars and golf are compatible.The Speaker never had much of a desire for tennis under the Eoosevelt Administration.In the first place he couldn't learn how to score, and \u201clove all\u201d and \u201clove forty\u201d were an mvster- fous to him as some Asher Hinds's Parliamentarv nrecedents.But with golf it ia different.He in well equipped with the language of the game, and if the Vice-President is to enter the Taft (olf Cabinet why not your Uncle Joe?Secretary Bushey was asked to-day if the Speaker is contemplating the purchase of golf sticks, | | \u201cI haven't heard it.\u201d Busbey.r : But that ian\u2018t n denial.because Mr.Bushey is equipped with a heavy pair of ear muffs.COLUMBUS DAY.(By Wex Jones.)
