Wrong Man, Who Turned It Over to a Liberal Organ.Ottawa, jan.9\u2014The report of the Becretary of.State upon the investigation into the Printing Bureau scandals has been published in blue-book form.Only the actual evidence at the Secrelary of State\u2019s investigation is new.Some interesting sidelights are being thrown on the patronage system, in vogue of old.100,000 copies of a pamphlet were ordered at the Gananoque Reporter office, because the King's Printer understood Britton, the pub.fisher, had been the Liberal candidate town there and could do the job.This Britton turned out to be another man than the candidate, and he turned the job over to the Ottawa Free Press to execute.Superintendent Cook did not report this latter fact to the King's Printer as he did not want to offend the Ottawa Liberal organ, so the evidence says.In regard to the overstocking of carbon paper, the late Frank Gouldthrite told a witness he did it because he was \u201ctaken by the throat\u201d by a minister.A Toronto lithographing concern was asked to file a tender, dated way back to make it appear they had tendered also at a higher price.The Ottawa company did as requested on the plea that such a document was needed \u201cto complete the file.\u201d The 48*pages of the blue book will figure largely in the coming enquiry in the Public Accounts Committee., BIG VESSEL ASHORE.Atluntie City,

holds that the improved Otto engine, used by the defendants n motor vedcle construe- tion ie the equivalent of the Selden engine, but that is use is not an infringement of the Selden patent.Accordingly, Judge Hough's injunctions against the Ford Motor Cofpany, Panhard and Levasseur and others, restraining them from using the Otto engine on the ground of infringement, inust be dismissed by the lower court to which the causes were remanded with such instruction.The Selden patept seaks to control the manufsc- ture of virtually all gasoline automo- bles in America.Many of the manufse- turing companies hold licenses under that patent, but there ars many others who operated independently and in defiance of the patent.The licensed companes were formed into the Aseociation of Liceated Automobile Manufacturers, which ez- cluded the independent companies from its undertaking, such as automobile shows uvd the like, and extensive legal complications were precipitated.Representatives of the Asociation of Licensed Automobile Meaufacturers announced to-night that preparations were already being made to carry the matter to tbe Supreme Court.THE WHITE SLAVE TBAFFIC.New York, Jan.9.\u2014On the complaint of Edward J.Brennas, a special ageat of the Department of Justice, Samuel Le Roy finith, of Baltimore, Md., wes xr- raigned before the Unted States

the United States, to-day closed fourteen tanneries for an indefinite time This is the second large sole leather curtailment, aod ineluding the Centrai Leather Company, which suspended operstions last week, cuts out a production of over $8,000,000 worth of sole leatèer per month.\u2014 A STORMY ELECTION.Guayequill, Ecuador, Jan.9.\u2014The first fay of the dections for the Presidency, to succeed General Eloy Alfaro, resulted in fights in various towns and many are reported wounded.Hed Crors ambulances were busy throughout the dey in various sections.So far as returns have been re- teived, Emilo Estrada, who is supported by the administration, obtained a major ity to-day.The partisans of Alfredo Baquerizo Mereno, Lbersl, abstained from voting.All business has been suspended until after Wedneadsy, the lam day of the elections.* LIBERIA AND FRANCE.# London, Jan.10\u2014The Times an- saunces that the Liberian Minister is authorized to sign (bé boundary treaty with France, thus clearing the way to the United States in the loan negotiations.A Paris despateb, on Oct, 25, said that it was understood thet Franch had withdrawn its objection to the American plan for the re-cetablishment of the finances sf Liberia providing thal country signs au agreement approving the recent from- tier delimitation with France, The United States had tlready urged Liberia to agree to this proviso.THE, BATTLESHIP MAINE.Washington, Jan.9.\u2014The $300,000 appropriated by Congress at the last session for removing the wreck of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor will be ineuf- ficient for the purpose and within a few days and estimate will be transmitted to Congress suggesting an additional appropriation.Dredging operations tmve brought up more or less loose wreckage end cosl and other equipment of the ship ibat was scattered over the bottom by the explosion which sink the vessel, but scgineer offcers state that the wrecking operations have not progressed to a | 400 point where it is possible to afford any more light upon the cause of the oinki of the abip than was available when the Sampson board made its report more than ton years sg).QOTTON MILLS * ' REDUCE PRODUCTION.Biddeford, Me., Jan.9.\u2014The high price of cotton and the slow market for broad goods has caused a curtailment in the Pepperell and Laconia eotton mills, which will go into effect this week.Af the broad looms, which constitute about 40 per cent of all the looms, will be shut dong two days each week, so that instead of five and = half days, as at present, the broad ms will be operated but three and a \u2018half days a week.MEXICAN REVOLUTIONISTS HAVE SURRENDERED\".Mexico City, Jan.9.\u2014Seventy-three of the rebels who figured in the taking of Batopolis have surrendered to the Federal offigers ard made public declarations of their desire to return to their former peaceful occupations.They turned over 45 carbines and other weapons, Appolotio Rodriguezthe leader of the men, surrendered $1,300 in money.The prisoners.with the exception of Rodrigue: and three other leaders, were given their liberty.This information is the substance of a telegram from Col.Reynaldo Diaz, at the front.communizat- ed to the Secretary of War by General - Hernandez at Chihuahua.The first news direct from Guerrero, which has been reaccupied by the Federals.indicated that a number of Government representatives were put to death by the revolutionists, among them the Chief of Police, German Espejo, and the Postmaster, Manuel Patino Suarez.Two citizens, Alejo and Alejandro Maya, and two others whose names wese not learned, are said to have met a similar fate.\u2018The city was reported to have been deserted by citizens as well as rebels when General Navarro arrived.The non-combatants had been, told that Navarro would burn the city and kill every one that was found in it.Confidence was gradually restored, however, and the citizen refugees were reported to be returning to their homes.TRE GRIPPE IN NEW YORK.New York, Jan.9.\u2014New York City is having an epidemic of the grippe second only to that of 1889, when it worked such ravages over the whole country.Figures of the Board of Health made public to-day show the number of deaths from influenza, which is practically a grippe, has increased per cent over the corresponding week of last year, and is due, it is stated, to the cold apd moist weather, The Board of Health reports fifty deaths last week, as against ten a year ago.ene tb aan we ANDEMAN'S FIN PORTS «ve SHERRIES D RECT FROM OPORTO AND

Fisheries Commission lasted about two hours and wes only sufficient to open up for detailed consideration the complex subjects covered by tbe New: foundland regulstions.As Chandler Ao derson, the counsellor for the State Department, who heads the American dele: gation in the fisheries conferences, is also one of the United States Commissioners in the pending reciprocity segotiations, it has been found necessary to alternate the hours of sneeting aud, consequently, & second session of the fsberics was held in the State Department at a lste Bour today.It is apparent that a oumber of sensions will be required to reach an rgreement upon the issues presented.The ! fact that the people of Newfoundlend are reluctant to permit the epecial board of experts created under The Hague award in the fisseries cases to pass upon the legality of the acts of the Newfoundland Lagisiature is, howéver, basis for the expectation that they are prepared to recognize a very liberal construction of the ex- istng laws ccucering American fishing rights in Canadian waters.One question to be settled at the outset is the application of the Foreign Fishing Vessels Act of 1906, which imposes on American fishing veasels certain restrictions in addition to those that were imposed by the old zt of 1905.There is alsa a question of the right of the Newfoundienders to board American vessels and bring them into port under certain conditions.The Newfoundlapd law prohibita the abipment of Newfoundianders as members of the crews of American fishing vessels plying their vocation in Newfoundland waters.Tt also prohibits Sunday fishing and the use of purse sens.All of these prohibitions are obuoxious to tbe Gloucester fishermen, with the possible exception of the Sunday law, and indeed they are vot Dow in effect.their operation having been suspended by the modus vivendi which was reached last year between the British Foreign Offee and Ambassador Beid as a pretiminary to the adjustment of

Goverameat towight refused American fishing interests the rst concession asked of it sioce the resent award by The Hague tribunal.The poor result of the season\u2019s fisheries os the west coast left the American dealers at a loss to supply comtrasted orders of frozen herring, and a large Gloucester cancern to-day petitioned the Colonial Government for permission to purchase vevéral cargess of herring from Newfonndland nstives in Placentia Bay, oo the southesst const.Under the recent Hague award, the American fishermen were given no right to fish in Placentia Bay, and are forbidden also from entering its waters.The appliestion to-day of the agent for the Gloucester company was placed before the Colonial Cabinet at a meeting held here to-might.Their décision was that it is not advisable to grant the Americans rights beyond those nocorded them under the provisions of the recent award, and the Cabinet declined to comider the request.There is no appeal from this decision.Province of Quebec Municipal Debentures To Yield 51% ., Write for particalare.Royal Securities Corporation, Limites.184 SL.James Streat, Montrealvie =o ea Eb Ll AS Toronto Quebss Halifax London, Eng.QE * Temporaturos Quebec Temperature.\u2014 Miomum, roaximum, 26.Sales held in Quebec.The whole of the space in rear of the 0 UR Great Annual Sale of Furs bids fair to eclipse all previous Fur Mantle D play of Furs and t\u2026 on the first floor, has been given over to the dis- ur Garments which will be cleared at actually LESS AN MANUFACTURERS\u2019 PRICES.In addition to this we are making sweeping reductions on the regular stock, enabling you to enjoy the luxury of rich and beautiful furs with the expenditure of a very small amount of money.See the Big Window Display!

Several of the Aldermen complain that they are not sufficiently in touch with the citizens and cannot ascertain the general sentiment on matters of import.Their proposal to borrow these large sums of money seems to lend color to this assertion.The Montreal Shareholder, speaking of a similar situation in Montreal, calls attention to some of the taxation schemes in other cities and even countenances the adoption ®f the \u201csingle tax\u201d for the metropolis.In Saskatoon the City Council this year adopted the policy of assessing -eal estate at the full estimated value and improvements at only 60 per cent of their value\u2014a step in the direction of single tax.In Vancouver they go even further and assess land at its full value, while improvements are not assessed at all.Each step in this policy of Vancouver has been marked by unpreccdented progress in its growth, in building statistics, bank clearings and other evidences of prosperity.lt cannot bc gainsaid that Here, as in Montreal, there is much land within the city, which is assessed as farm land and pays only a nominal sum in taxation, whilet it enjoys all the advantages of increased valuation incidental to city property.It hardly seems fair that the owners of this land should remain idly.waiting to garner the harvest of unearned increment which will come to them through the inevitable expansion of the city brought about by the energy of others, An article in the December issue qi Hampton's Magazine shows that many German cities impose a special tax on the profits gained by land speculation.They tax increasing land values at from Î to 33 per cent of the inercase.This makes idle land-hold- ing costly, and it forces the specu.fator to use his land, to sell it or to build upon it, in order Yo pay the tax which is periodically assessed against the increase in value that has taken place.7 A FEASIBLE PROJECT.Even if the Americans allow freq entry of our pulpwood into the States, they will in the long run be forced to establish paper mills in this province if they wish to compete on equal terms with our own manufacturers, It is only a question of time and perhaps of only two or three years at that.But it -eams hard to understand [building of vessels.\u201d that more of our Canadian lumbermen are not getting in on the ground floor in the meantime, agd\u2014what is of more consequence to Quebec-that a paper mill with a daily output of 100 to 200 tons should not be erected in the vicinity of the city.Such a mill could get the raw material at from $6 to $7 a ton, and could manufacture it at a maximum cost of $33, thus giving a clear return Cf something like $10 per ton, selling at $40 to $43 per ton f.0.b.And, as regards freight, it must always be remembered that the dry manufactured product weighs only about 2,000 lbs, where the raw material necessary to give the same is calculated at double the amount.The present practice of freighting pulpwood by rail or barge, with its extra handling from points in Canada, for some 500 or 600 miles to mills in the United States, brings it about that the raw material can only be delivered at thosé mills at a cost of $11 to $12 per cord.Surely, if the Americah mills, which pay the above sum per cord of raw material can make.a profit, then we in Quebec, who can get the same for $610 $7, can db even better.Even if the cost of bringing waterpower to Quebèc be unduly expensive \u2014an argument\u2019 which is open to con- tradiction\u2014the mills could still be operated at -a profit by using coal, as many of these American milis do.Suppose, for instance, that a 100- ton newspaper plant were established in the neighborhood of this city.The cost of active development might amount to $1,000,000, and the whqle thing might be capitalized at $2,000, 000.If a profit of $6 per ton was made there would be a profit of D per cent on the capital outlay of $2,- 000,000, and this would make the stock sell away above par.If, as is claimed, Shawinigan will deliver Power at $12 to Three Rivers, surely it would deliver it here for $15 to $16.A transmission line from Three Rivers to this city could be run at a cost of, say, $400,000, and the difference of $4 on 10,000 or 15,000 horse-power should be amply sufficient to allow for loss in transmission, and still leave a fair profit.A 100-ton plant could be run for 10,000 or 11,000 horse-power, and if 15,000 horse-power were brought here there would be very little, (difficulty in finding à market for it, ,.Another point ibiSavor of such a mill neaf Quebec Sould be the fact \u2018that a- very much shialler outlay for fintits than is uytfal l'Hould be required.The probability is that hundreds of habitants, holders of private lands and crown lands, would be only too glad to find a ready market for their pulpwood.Thousands of cords are being held over this winter which would have been sold if there had been such a mill in the vicinity, RECIPROCITY.Ît is patent even to the most careless of onlookers that Canada as a whole has an absolute distaste for reciprocity, and will have none of it.The visit to Washington is regarded with suspicion.From one end of the Dominion to the other there is a chorus of outcries against entering into any agreement that will sacrifice the Canadian birthright to American greed.The Canadian commissioners should remember that they are in no position to ask for favors, If the Americans like to lower their high tariff wall, let them do so.We have no need to give them a quid pro quo.The bargain has been unequal long enough.This country has flousished under a protective system in spite of the barriers on the other side.of the line.As an American paper said, our commercial absorption is their chief aim.It will then, they argue, require but anagher step toward our political absorption.< On the above question there may be more opinions than one.But on the question of reciprocity there is but one opinion.Canada wants no one-sided bargains, THE PASSING OF THE SQUARE TIMBER TRADE.Under the ahove heading the current issue of the Canada Lumberman publishes an article which, being, as it is, a history of one of Quebec's passing industries, can hardly fail to be of interest to Quebec readers, The writer begins by saying that during the French regime the timber resources were scarcely rvecognized as a source of revenue, and about the only value of which the French Government of that day saw in the timber of Canada was its possible use for the building of navies, the seigneurs being required to preserve within their land grants \u201cthe oak timber fit for the \u201cThe pine and other wood were considered practically worthless.The English carried on a very similar policy for some time until pine for ships\u2019 masts came into demand.From that day to this the lumberjack has been pushing further and further back into the bush until the depleted condition of our forests now calls for conservative measures.tury,\u201d tire export of Quebec ping was in the form of timber in the squared log, hewn with the axe, and floated down to Quebec nierchants, who put the timber in shipping order by butting and dressing it at the Quebec shipping coves, disposing of the culis locally for wharf building and other similar purposes.The greater part of the timber s0 seceived and shipped was white pine, squared to a sharp edge on the four corners; deals were made fot export to other countries, and only reached the English market in the character of stowage deals.The square logs (and later on waney) were converted into planks and boards at the various sawmills in towns in England, and in.county yards, pit-sawing was largely in vogue for log conversion.In 1861 waney pine was made.for the first time, this wood being left with a wane of from ' three to six inches on the corners, so avoiding the excessive waste of woud resulting from hewing the timber exactly square.Previous to this the timber was square and of large average, beautifully hewn by the lumbermen in the woods; but board (waney) pine\u2014that is, short logs of large girth, were sent down the drives with the other timber, and soon found their way into the market.Being cut from the lower part of the tree accounted | for the waney character of the logs, but the quality of the timber was ex- cellent.It gradually'almost aitogeth- er supplanted square pine.The following comparison illustrates this point:\u2014\u201d Cubic Feet.1861.1909.Square pine .15,731,000 66,200 Waney pine .6,735,000 699,360 Totals .22,466,000 765,560 The increase in the deal and board trade rather than the acarcisy of suitable timber must be regarded as chiefly responsibie for the decline in the quantity of square and waney pine made for the Quebec market.Many \"of the trees, especially in the Ottawa region, were suitable for deal logs, but too small for waney board pine.In olden days square pine was made 70, 80 and even 100 feet cube average, but lately a 40-foot average cube was hard to procure in aquare pine, and annually.The Lumberman says that as late 33 1904 a 17-inch average was as-large, as most manufacturers would undertake to supply, and.they frequently fell below this average on delivery at Quebec.When the timber was hewn square in the woods much of the best material, which would now be utilized in the saw mills, was then wasted.The dried chips also tended to promote the spread of forest fires.The writer shows how the change from sailing vessels to steamers has affected Quebec as a shipping port for wood goods, as the steamers charge no more on freight from Montreal than from this port, and so many of the sawmills are now west of the commercial metropolis.Then, too, the supply of oak is exhausted and that of elm is rapidly diminishing.There are apparently no records earlier than 1841 of the price received by the Quebec lumberman for his timber.But the Lumberman quotes a case where in the settlement of an account between a Quebec merchant and an old lumber manufacturer, however, a raft of square pine, 70 cubic fget average, is valued at 3d (Sc) per foot.In recent years waney timber 18-inch average has brought as much as 80 cents per cubic foot and square pine 30 to 40 feet average 40 to 50 cents per foot, a vast advance from the 5c of 1841 or the 4444 of 1846.Doubtiess the great prices paid for timber limits, higher timber duties levied by the provincial government and the growing scarcity of lerge timber, all account for much of the increase in value to the producer, which is practically six times as much as it was in 1862, in which year it is of record that square timber could not be produced and delivered at Quebec under 734d or 1244 cents per foot.NAPOLEON IN

she was young and had lived a sheltered life and had singularly little knowledge of the world, she endowed the man, much to his own discomfort, with every virtue under the sun.A very parfait knight she made of him\u2014a mediaeval saint in a stained glass window.She carved a niche for him in the holiest corner of her heart, and set him high up on a pedestal.All the choicest flowers of her mind and soul she plucked for him and lay at his feet; no speck of dust was sliowed to soil his whiteness.He was the love of her maiden dreams\u2014a saint.But the man himself was very conscious of being far from a saint.He was a manu who had lived the average man\u2019s life; he was neither very good nor very bad; he did not deliberately set out to break the Commandments, but if one happened to stand in his way he did not hesitate to step over it.At first the girl's estimate of him amused him, but presently it annoyed him, It is easy to live down to a bad reputation, but to live up to a good one entails some trouble.But because she was good to look upon, a woman of the jessamine type, very fair and white and clinging, he humored her, for a little while at least.And before he had time really to tire of the stained glass environment which she had set about him, some one told her a story about him.It was not a pretty story.Men's indiscretions do not, as a rule.make pretty reading.But it was no worse than most.What man has not a month or two of foolishness behind him?But the saint tumbled suddenly from his niche in the girl's heart.He lay there broken into pieces among the scattered flowers of her love, long before she saw the man.When she did she gave him back his freedom.Of course, she told him why, He laughed scornfully.\u201cWhat of it?\u201d he asked her.\u201cWhat of it?\u201d She stared at him blankly.\u201cAnd I thought you a saint,\u201d she breathed.\u201cThat's it,\u201d he laughed bitterly, \u201cand I'm only a man.[t was the saint you were in love with, not the man.\u201d Still, because she was very fair, as I said before, he lowered himself to plead to her for forgiveness.And because there is no person more hard than a really good woman she refused to listen, and sent him away.But, saint or man, she missed him more than she had thought to.The niche where he had stood seemed strangely desolate.She had no one to whom to give her flowers.She was alone; and the days crept into months, and the months crept into a year, and presently fwo.And little by little she learned more, and as she as she grew more tolerant she grew more wise.One fine day\u2014it was spring (one Trudel and Verret(27).it is hereby ordered and enacted by | the Municipal Council of the City of Quebec as follows : 1.The following article is hereby .added after article

brown)\u2014 she searched her heart for the scattered pieces of her saint.She found them all as she had left them, and she built them up together again, and presently he stood back on his niche nearly as perfect as before, save for showed.\u2018And once more she loved end longed over him, and set flowers hefore him, and saw that no dust of forgetfulness came near him.And then, just as the spring was turning into summer, came another friend, who told her another story about the man, a story this time such as no woman need be sorry to hear.And after the friend had gone she looked again into her heart, and in! the statue on its niche stood perfect as before, no flaw or crack in him.* * * .\u201cIs it the man or the saint yon love the most?\u201d he asked, as he held her in his arms.And she, looking straight into her heart, seeing him haloed there, a saint again, smiled, an she gave him the answer he wanted: \u201cWhy, the man.of course.\u201d Mr.F.H.Cunningham, of the Department of

Continental Thieves as Ingenious as They Are Daring.Evening Standard: The unpleasant experience which is reported to have befallen Mr.Birrell om his journey to English and American travellers on the Continent.Few days puss during the report of some daring train robbery, snd in most cases only gans and money wre taken.The heavy toll exasted from travellers ; passes into the pockets of an exseptional- ly clever and highly organized gang of international thieves.Their operations cover a wide area, and are carried out with scrupulous regard to detail and an ingenuity which has often baffled the potes.Few t{ransetlantic liners, cross Chammel boats, or transetropese expresses journey without representatives of the gang aboard.They have agents in all the big towne and cities, who warn them of the movements of well-known People who are likely te be worth plundering.The thieves themselves are drawn from all nations, and are generally well: bred men and womes, who sre invariably well-dressed, and put up at the best botels.Many of them are excellent linguists, and through being able to render friendly services to travelers who do not know their way about are often able to rob their unsuspecting vietims with impunity.It is the woman, ss a rule, who acts as the decon FRENCH GIRLS RUSE.How full of resource are the women who have taken up this class of crime is well illustrated by the adventure of au Englishman who returned receatty from Paris.He carried with bim bank notes of the value of £60, and, being à man of the world, brusquely repelled the advances of two men who journeyed in the ame compartment of the train to Boulogne.Just as he was landng et Foike stone, however, a pretty French girl in front of him tripped and fell.Instioctively be went to ber assistance, but while her profuse thaoks were ringing in bis ears he found that bis pockets had been rifled.Another case of remarkable eelf-pos- session and coolness occurred in Paris two years ago, the victim om that voces.ion being 8 jeweler.A well-dressed mea, carrying 8 gold-beaded walking stick, entered the jeweller\u2019s shop, and was looking at some scarf pins, when two mem came in and arrested him, explaining to the jeweller that he was a \u2018\u2018crook,\u2019\u2019 and that, as police officers, they must take away with the mthe trays of jewelery from which they said their prisoner had stolen various articles.They entered a taxi ead and drove off with a rich haul.The jeweller never saw the \u2018\u2018officers\u2019\u2019 or their prisoner again.CELEBRATED CASES.A rich German lady x year ago met à countrywoman on ber way from Paris to Marienbad.She had pleasant manners, could speak eight languages, and said she was a governess.She was engaged by the Isdy at once, and soon afterwards decemped with jewellery worth over £3,000.In September of last year sa American lady wpe robbed of jewellery worth £8,000 and hundreds of pounds in money in a train at Pau by a well-dressed mau, who, after introducing himself to ber, gave ber chloroform.One of the most notorious cases of jewel robberies occurred in 1898, when the Duchess of Butberiand was deprived of jewela valued at 225,000 by a man known ae \u2018\u2018 Harry the Valet\u2019\u2019 at the Gare du Nord, Paris.Four years later Lady Camnarvon\u2019s jewel case was extracted from ber dressing came on the

a lounge in her dressing room, was robbed of ter jewels, worth £10,000.Again, in 1908, Mr.Angus Forbes, of Montreal, lest £1,000 ju the train between Paris amd Calais, and Miss \u2018Alice Miller, of Montrose, was robbed of ber jewels at a Panis terminus.There is n regular clearing bouse for etolen jewels in more than ons Continental city, and very few gans are recovered.In 1906 the \u2018Princess

Governor-elect Colquitt, of Texas, to- | day and later smashed into a fence when Frishie attempted to land after a short flight.The machine is a wreck.Mr.Colquitt had climbed into | the machine at the request of news- ' paper photographers.To add to the realism of the picture, one of the.mechanicians started the motor.Cam- | eras were all trained and all ready when the Governor shifted his position and struck his foot against the | accelerator.This released the machinery and for several hundred yards the machine bounded along the track with half a dozen men holding it to the ground.Finally Frisbie, who was being dragged along, succeeded in cutting the string which held the throttle open, and the motor stopped.The Governor-elect seemed to enjoy the experience.TELEGRAPH REPORTS FROM

liquidator, shows a nominal deficit of $436,011.93, the assets being placed at $2,000,250.05, and the liabilities at $2,- 436261.98.\u2018The most startling feature is that the bank had sunk $1,156,100 iff the Keeley Mine.Tt had been generally understood that the indebtedness of the company to the bank was only $835,000.One item is \u201ccurrent loans and overdrafts, $321,100.46.\u201d Another, \u201ccall loans, $300,000.\" These two items ($621,100) are secured by the million dollar bond issue of the mine, which is held by the Trusts and Guarantee Company as security for advances.The other item of $535,000 appears on the stocks and bond account.The indebtedness of the Keeley mine constitutes over half the total assets.The indebtedness has been put in the curator\u2019s report at its face value, but what it will bring to the bank is still a matter of speculation.Aniong the assets Dominion uotes, specie, notes and checks of and on other banks, balances due from agents and cash items total $140.- 709.23.The assets apart from the in- debtedners of the Keeley Mine total $844,149.59.\u2018The preferred claims total $569,987.Of these the most important are the note issue of $538,365, and the Ontario Government deposit of $26,533.16.According to the statement all the claims in the bank could be met by the payment of the double liability of the shareholders.NEW IRON BRIDGE .IN BEAUCE.The council of the county of Beauce will shortly invite tenders for a new iron bridge, 226 feet long, over the Chaudiere at St.George.: ANOTHER AEROPLANIST

or by moving directly overland from one stream to the other.If he wants information as to the natural beauty and agricultural possibilities of the Peace River Valley he has only to consult Professor Macoun, Domin\u2019{~ vutes.Was it too much for these men who bad come all the way to Ottawa to expect a straight answer under such con- | with the way in which they were put off as regards the tariff, but also with what they gathered as to Bir Wilfrid's attitude on the Hudson Bay treaty.Take it fram will not be satisfied with anything short of it.\u2019 In the course of further discussion, Mr.Bradburry repeated what he had asid of it in the West, namely, that it was the \u2018\u2018grestest which had ever visited Ottawa.\u2019\u2019 HOCKEY NOTES.London, Ont., Jan, 9\u2014London Junior 0.IL A.team defeated Ingersoll tomight in one of the fastest and scrappiest junior games ever witnessed here.It was a battle royal and Referee Gunn had the time of his life trying to keep any kind of order.The game was not a dirty one, however, just a real hard-contested one.Startford, Ont., Jan.9.\u2014In ene of the fastest and clemnest gumes seen here in years, 8t.Michael's College of Toronto defeated Startford Ly 5 to 3.The outcome was in doubt until the last five enin- utes.The attendance was 2,000, Toronto, Ont, Jan.9\u2014The \u2019Varsity Juniors outplayed the Argonauts, 10 to 1, ie the initial O.H.À.Junior game here to-night, Cobalt, Ont., Jan.9.\u2014Professional and semi-professionul bockey in Cobalt is dead, and will not be resuscitated this \u2018winter, The Cobalt team was badly \u2018de: feated last week by hoth Haileybury and New Liskeard, and will disband.Delay in signing good players is given as the reason for the club's coRapse, while those who backed the club last year refused to put up their cash this sesaon.Belleville, Ont., Jan.9.\u2014 Trenton came from behind and defeated Belleville, 7 to 6, in the O.H.A.intermediate game here to-night.Sarina, Oot.Jan.9.\u2014In the O.II.Aintermediate game here to-night, Strathroy beat Sarnia 6 to 4.Gravenhurst, Ont., Jaa.9.\u2014Huntaville war defested hy Graveshurst' bere tonight by 8 to 4 in the O.H.A.Junior eres.Bowmanville, Ont.Jan.0.\u2014Oshawa beat Bownmaville, 5 to 2, in the intermediate O.H.A.to-night, \u2014 Chatham, Ont., Jan, 9.\u2014Chatham defeated Walford, 6 to 2, here to-night in the intermediate O.H.A.series.THE MONTREAL ANARCHISTS\u2019 THREAT.;

New York Herald:\u2014But for the strikingly brilliant achievements of the late Arch Hoxsey, who established à new world's record for altitude, and the late John B.Moisant, | who won in most dramatic style the Statue of Liberty flight, for which Thomas F.Ryan offered a prize of $10,000, America would have been en- tirelp out of the reckoning in international aviation contests and records for the year 1910.* The \u201cblue ribbon\u201d event of the year \u2014the Coupe Internationale d\u2019Aviation\u2014was captured by England when Claude Grahame-White won it at Belmont Park last October.France captured the Michelin Cup and accompanying $4,000 prize when M.Maurice Tabuteau made his amazing flight of 362.66 miles at the Buc Aerodrome, France, thereby establishing a new world\u2019s distance record.England and France divided the speed record of the world when Mr.Grahame-White and M.Alfred Leblanc contested for the Coupe Internationale d'Aviation at Belmont Park, but neither cup nor prize accompanied these records.M.Leblanc holds all speed records from five kilometres up to and including ninety kilometres, and Mr.Grahame-White for 100 and 110 kilometres.While no one equalled the feat of M.Moisant in flying with a passenger from Paris to London, being guided the whole way by compass alone, the route being one wholly unfamiliar to him, the greatest passenger carrying prize of the year was won by Mynheer Henry Wynmalen in his famous flight from Paris to Brusscls and return in twenty-cight hours, thirty-six minutes and nine seconds.The prize was $20,000, offered by the Automobile Club of France.In addition to establishing new speed records, M.Leblanc also goes down in the history of aviation for 1910 as the winner in the greatest cross-country contest that has ever been known, the Circuit de l'Est.The course, the total distance of which was 500 miles, extended from Paris to Troyes, to Nancy, to Mezieres, to Douai, to Amiens, to Paris.The prize was $20,000, Flight Over the Pyrenees.M.Tabuteau.the winner of the Michelin Cup, also distinguished himself by winning the cup for the flight over the Pyrenees.This trophy was cancelled after the disastrous ending of Senor Georges Chavez\u2019 attempt to fly over the Alps.It was felt that such attempts were too dangerous to be made a matter of competition.One of the most notable prizes of the year was offered hy Baron de Forest.of England.Tt was $20,000 for the longest flight from England to the Continent in an English built machine, .This prize was wdn by Thomas Sopwith, who made the distance of 174 miles.It was in competition for this prize that Cecil Grace lost his life by falling into the sea on his return from Calais Mr, Crm hame-White planned to start in this contest, but was injured while making a preparatory fight.A Michelin cup was also offered for the longest flight made in England, and this was Won by Captain S.Cody, by a flight of 190 miles.In America the most important trophy of the year, the Scientific American Cup, was won for the third time by Glenn H.Curtiss, by his flight from Albany to Poughkeepsie, when he made his famous aerial trip from the State's capital to New York.This gave him final posesssien of the cup.=== EInEI=a\u2014==0n Latest Sporting News [| Eee ES === F.| two rinks were composite ones, com- son contributed in no small measure.\u2014 WILL GOTCH GET INTO GAME.AGAIN After Championship Candidates Settle Matters, Who *¥ill Be Man?Frank Gotch\u2019s easy victory in defending his championship title against Zbyszko, the Pole, in a match held in Chicago last spring, and his subsequent announcement\u2019 of retirement from the mat, stood out as the features in the wrestlidg world during the year 1910.But whether or not Gotch was sincere in his intention to retire, his words carried no particular import to wrestling fans at that time, as the season for grapplers was over, while his statements this fall have not had that ring of sincerity which would convince followers of wrestling that he would not be willing to snap up a juicy purse to meet Again the best of the foreign invaders.When.it is determined whether Hackenschmidt.Zbyszko, Mahmout or Lemm, the Swedish importation, is most entitled to a try at the championship, and the appeal to Gotch to come forth for the hotior of America has been given the proper amount of publicity, it is safe to say the Humboldt farmer will listen to the call.The logical order would seem to be another match between Zbyszko and Mahmout, despite the victory of the former in their 1910 match, with the winner of this affair pitted | against Hackenschmidt for the honor of tackling Gotch.McGILL TEAM WINS AGAIN.New York, Jan.9\u2014The hockey team of McGill

Jan.9\u2014That the present is not the time to let down the bars of trade and turn Canada\u2019s natural resources over to the Unjted States, was the opinion expressed at the weekly Juncheon of the Canadian Club to-day by the Hon.Clifford Sifton, Chairman of the Dominion Conservation Commission, and a former member of the Laurier Government.His audience was composed of leading bankers and business men of Montreal, as well as Senators and members of Parliament, and they cheered the sentiment to the echo.Mr.Sifton was careful to state that his views on reciprocity were simply his own, quite apart from political affiliations and possibly out of harmony with the views of many of both great parties.\u201cIf it is true,\u201d he said, \u201cthat it is essential in the interests of this Dominion of Canada that we should conserve our resources and work out carefully, painfully, and perhaps slowly, the slow method of making them available in order that we may have a strong, virile and well-nourished population, it must be clear that this is not the time to take down the bars and turn the resources over to the United States.It would be altogether apart from my duty to discuss the political or national aspects of this question, but perhaps you will pardon me if I express my convictions.It is this.If we enter upon trade relations of an extensive character with the United States, and if the most favorable auticipations which can be entertained turn out to be well founded and our friends south of the line use us well and give us nearly everything we ask for, what is the inevitable conclusion.Must not our trade and business and very life become mixed with theirs, so that we shall become with the ultimate end of political union?And if these favorable anticipations are not realized and they will not treat us well and want to grab and quibble on the interpretation of any reciprocity treaty, what will \"that mean ?It will simply mcan that ten ar fifteen years from now we shall have to begin all over again, just where we are now, and start once again to put ourselves right.I do not hold with those who say that those who are opposed to a trade treaty between Canada and the United States are opposed to good relations hetween the two countries.On the contrary my view is that the best way of conlinuing good relations he- tween Canada and the United States is that each should do its own business independently and have no en- tanglements\u2014nothing in the world to quarrel about.\u201d THE LONG SAULT DEVELOPMENT CO.Washington, Jan.9\u2014The Montreal Board of Trade and a host of other Canadian business institutions were arrayed against the Long Sault Development Company, a New York corporation, subsidiary to the Alumnus Company of America, at a hearing to-day before the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors on the Malby bill to authorize dams, locks, canals, etc.in the St.Lawrence River.The Canadian interests were represented by former Representative Littieticld of Maine and Representative Malby of New York, spoke for the corporation.whose structures are intended to be buile near Sault Island, New York.Mr.Mathy contended that the Sault company is already the absolute possessor of the water power rights there under a New York per- getual charter, while Mr, Littlefield argued that the act of the New York Legislature was contingent upon the approval of Congress and the Canadian Government.Mr.Malby added that it was the first time in the history of New York that a manufactur.\u2014 ing corporation had been compelled to pay the state a single penny for the development of water-power, that there was not a single water-power that has paid its promoters, and that in its unprecedented taxation of his company the state made a better bargain than any other state in the union for similar purposes.Mr.Littlefield argued that the proposed constructions were a vital obstruction to navigation on the St.Lawrence River.i pre

bear fruit this year.He proposes the joint committee to include representatives of two cities and surrounding townships to act an all matters of mutual interest and will also approach Fort William with À view to connecting the two water systems, .s0 either could use the other in case of emergency.Mayor Young, of Fort William, who was elected by a large majority, openly advocated the promotion

were suspected of mismanaging or mal-administering trusts.The bill will be introduced by a private member, but the government will be urged to accept it as a government measure, O-NIGHT CU anple | Nec) POMPEII DISCOVERY In some excavations in a private house at Pompeii the petrified corpse of a woman has just been found, with numerous jewels of high value in her hands.It is supposed that the woman was surprised and stified by the rain of cinders from Vesuvius, when Pompeii was \u2018destroyed, at the moment when sbe was fleeing with all her fortune, The gems include twp earrings, each composed of twenty-one pearls.These are the: finest jewelry ever found at Pompeii.THR ABUSE OF HOSPITALS.Rich People Who Obtain Free Treat.ment.People in comlortable cireum- stances who put on their oldest clothes and get free nredical'aid at the London hospitals will nol be able to continue this abuse of charitable institutions much longer.The whole question is to be dealt with by a special commission of inquiry appointed in connection with King Edward's Hospital Fund.An almoner at one of the biggest London hospitals told the Daily Sketch yesterday that it was time some drastic measures were taken, owing to the increasing number: of people who robbed the charitable supporters of voluntary hospitals.That won't sound a very pretty description of their behavior,\u201d he added, \u201cbut @& is just one at any rate.Charitable people give their money to the hospitals for the sake of those who cannot pay for medical treatment and not for men and women who disguise themselves to look like tramps, so that they may cheat us into the belief that they are poor.Nearly halt of the applicants I deal with in the course of a year are not really entitled to free treatment at all.\u201cQuite a short time ago a shabby looking man was admitted for treatment, and it was only because he had the misfortune to drop his pocket book containing bank notes that we discovered that he was a rich man.Some of our frdudulent patients send us anony- ous contributions when they leave the hospital, but it isn't very often that their conscience pricks them in that way, I can tell you.A prominent member of the committee appointed by the King Edward's\u2019 Fund to go into the matter said yesterday that things have come to such a pass that the general practitioner in London is starving for patients.It had been computed that in a single period of.twelve months nearly one out of every two of the population of LoNdon got free hospital treatment.Sir Henry Burdett, K.C.B., who is one of the greatest living authorities on hospital work, says that in his judgment the out-patient department, as it exists to-day, should be aboliz% ed, and a consuitation department substituted for it.Co-operation should be organized between the general practitioner and the hospitals, Sir Henry thinks, and on a plan whereby the \u201c~rmer would send all suitable cases | to the hospitals.Under such a system there could be no abuse o hos- pr SPECIAL for 1911 pitals.Yes, we examine eyes and fit glasses to correot sll muscular and refractive defects.So do many others\u2014but there és a difference with us, for not only st the office do we tent eyes, but to mooommo- date people who for one resson or and scleptifie care.Mail, office or telephone LEFEVRE.DPELFFERS DYE WORKS

Bank Building: New York, Jan.9.\u2014Absence of any further complieations in the local banking situstion was of material assistance to today\u2019s stock market.The coucerted sod effectunl methods employed by powerful interests to confine the trouble to its source were received with lively satisfaction in Stock Exchange circles.The stand taken by these bankers was accept: od as indubitable proof of the intrinsie strength of underlying conditions, and \u201c on this theory, perhaps, as much es any other, prices were again advanced.The short interest, whose proportons are onw a mater of much debate, joined in tbe movement by a basty covering.Prac tically all of the better mown securities touched the highest level in some weeks, with coneurrent gains in the \u2018more obscure issues.Another favorable feature was the continuance on even a larger scale of the enquiry for bonds The greater part of this business was by direct or overoounter sales, and total trans- nebions of this character were probably the largest of any day in the recent bis tory of the bond market.It was announced shortly before the close that the oity bad completed srrengahents for the fotation of $60,000,000 new bonds, but the interest rate and other details were not then disclosed.Prices receded and the stock market languisbed during the early afternoon, chiefly on further realising for profits, but the early activity was resumed in the last hour, the elosing showing general galvs, though below the day\" \u20188 best prices.Yet another contributing factor was the greater ease in money, whioh opened at 4 per cent and acon declined fractionally on offerings in excess of demand.Local banks made large cash gains from the Sub-Tresaury over the week end, and eurface conditions point to stendy gains from that quarter with resultant strengthening of reserves.Foreign exchange wns eligbtiy lower on offeringa of cotton bills.Discounts abroad held firm, sod advices from London, where the markets were dull and heav y\u201d suggests a renewal of the recent enqury for gold from Indian snd Continental ceatres.Large volumes of traffic are being handled at the important ralway centres, according to reports from the West and Houthwest, but some falling off is shown compared with the heaviest business of the previous month.Grain receipts decreased over 1,375,000 bushels at Chicago last week with 8 decreuse of over 800,000 buetels in corn.Traffic seems to be well diversified, however, and the demand for cars of à certain type emphneires & hetter movement of general merchandise.Railroads east of Chicago showsd an increase of 12 per cent in traffic.This week's meetng of the steel munufacturers seemed to excite little in- tereet, but the strength of the steel ahares betokens little if any change in prices.The Derember report of the Copper Producers\u2019 Assocation showed a decresse in supplies on hand of over 8,000,000 pounds compared with the previous mouth, while production was about 4,000,000 pounds greater The domestic demand fell over 17,000,000 pounds, but this movement was reversed in exports, which increased almost 21,000,000 pounds.The increased production was 8 matter of surprise in trade circle, and copper shmres were ua- der throughout .The alight activity in Pacific Mail was associated with the a.troduction of a ship subsidy bill in Congress to-day, sithough the proposed measure elnrinates the tranepacifr lines and favors only those serving South-America Bonds on the Stock Exchange were fm in sympathy with the stock
