Inside the gateway stood, until quite; recently, the little Chapel of Notre] Dame de Victoire, a small building of, dark, rough limestone, with round, arched doorway, which was built in! 1718, in memory of the destruction, of the fleet of Sir Hovenden Walker, | which attempted to sail up the Gulf to attack Quebec.Near Place d\u2019Armes, on the corner of St.Sulpice and Notre Dame, the first schoolmaster of Mont-! real, M.de La Prairie, opened the first\u2019 private school, in 1683, In the same; building at one time lived Du Luth,! after whom the city of Duluth was named, and who {s sald to have built the first fortifications of Montreal.Hel about 1710, after a long career: of adventure and fighting.; | ' CITY'S OLDEST BUILDINGS.Going down into a still older part of Montreal, we find.places of interest, old buildings side by side with modern business blocks.In the old streets of St.Jean Baptiste, St.Gabriel, St.Vin-\"PRETTIEST ON THE cent and Vaudreuil, we find many places that speak of the earlier days MAJOR.ALANSON W.EDWARDS, U.S.Consul af Montreal, hunting knife.Favre's wife ran to! her husband'\u2019s assistance, and B islel stabbed her also, and killed her.Subsequently he was suspected, and soon! after arrested, tried and convicted, Belisle was condemned to \u201ctorture ordinary yand extraordinary,\u201d and then, \u201cto have his arms, legs, thighs and: reins broken \u2018alive on a -scaffold to be\u2019 ererted in the market-place of this: city\u201d (the present Custom House, | | Square), \u201cthen put on a rack, his face towards the sky, to be left to die\u201d i The awful sentence was carried out! to the letter, his body burled in Guy!

On Commissioners Street, just behind\u2019 the thoroughfare in the rear of the\u2019 Custom House known as Port Street, stood the Fort de Ville Marie, the firsti dwelling-place of the founders of Ville Marie, built in 1643, and replaced by the residence of Governor de Callieres, In 1686, on Foundling Street, while be- | hind \u2018the Square gtood the first Seminary of St.Sulpite, now situated on Notre Dame Street.The present Seminary was built in 1710, adjoining the!

| | | | | | | | | | twenty-one years of age to emigrate to the United States.On arrival he engaged for three years in -various pur-; suits, aad finally secured a position as! secondSrlerk in a saw-mill at Troy) N.Y.ard quickly gathering the details of the business, finally leaved the mill 1 - | | i | | HON.J.K.WARD.and operated it on his own account.In.1853 he decided to prospect in Canada, \u201cand bought a saw-mill and property on the Maskinonge River, in the Province of Quebec, where he spent ten years lumbering.Tén years later he moved to Threé Rivers, and acquired the limits Land mills built and owned by Norcros Philips and Company.This property | Canal from 1870 to 1900, when he trans- \u201ctrémmpitly* deprived \u201cCesses are by the latest improved ma- |secure perfect purity of their milk and {treum.\u2019 any part of the city.a suburb of Montreal.| he operated successfully for several years and sold to advantage.Finally Mr.Ward obtained a large area of timber land from the Quebec Government, and established and operated a large saw-mill on the Lachine Guaranteed Pure Milk Co.\u201cThe Guaranteed Pure Milk Co.\u201d le a reassuring name to all users of milk and cream\u2014which includes the whole population\u2014in a city such as MR.W.H.TRENHOLME.Montreal, \u201cTre phsolute purity of | dairy products 18 not always assured.This Is the special aim\u2019of the Guaranteed Pure Milk Co.whuse handsome head offices are at 2685 St.Catherine : street, They have tuken scientific measures to secure perfect cleanliness and purity, such as can only be afforded ty a firm doing business on a very lurge scale.The result is pure milk from healthy cows, guaranteed so after careful bacteriological \u2018analysis, and promptly delivered to buyers early each morning.The milk is secured from the company's own cows, carefully fed and cared for on their.farm,\u2014quite differ- \u201cnt from city byres, whère animals are closely contined and sometimes fed on city refuse.Particular attention is puld to the water, which is secured ftom artesian wells and springs, \u2014 n° great point in securing pure milk, The | health of the cows is carefully guarded hee regular veterinary inspection nd sanitary surroundings.The same care pursues the until delivery to customers.It is of animal heat, plied in sterilized cans and transported 16 the St.Catherine street depot, where it is placed In cold storage, \u2018clari- tied by special machinery, and subsequently aerated and cooled to a temn- perature of 35 deg.after which, again by special machinery, it is tilled into sterilized \u201cbottles ond sealed for delivery.» There is no handling or exposure of the milk to taint.All pro- milk chinery.whose one idea is to render milk abselutely pure.haf this is attained is proved by constant.chemi- eal inalysis of samples.@ ' : The whole process is speedy und set- elitifie.The Company alse Pasteurizes milk at a slight extra charge, while every thing that comes in contact with the milk is kept sterilized.The company\u2019s plant is always open to the public for inspection, when the milk consum- trs can convince themselves.of the revfection of the _meahs_adopted to.A splendid point fs made of prompt delivery of large or small orders to \u2018 Mr.W.W.Harries Amonox educationalists it is being more and more recognized that absolutely individual instruction is by far\u2019 the best method, of imparting knowl- © edge of à technical nature.Individual Instruetion gives the best and quickest results, surpassing in\" thoroughness and efficiency that given in even the best JLlasses, and avoiding the necessary gonfus.on avi delay of the average class room.; The advantage of-this method of!

for packing houses and large dairies, for cheese and.butter factories and numerous.private establishments, stores, clubs and public institutions where a large stock of perishable goods is necessarily carried.In the over sea export trade the same progress is shown; all the steamers of the Thomson line and many of \u2018the Allan, Canadian Pacific, Elder Demi ster, Reford, Dominion and Manchester The J.C.McLaren Belting Co.Factory, Showrooms and Offices: 292 and 294 St.James St, Montreal.Pioneers in leather belting manufacture in Canada, for upwards of for- ty-elght years, that industry has almost exclusively formed the greater part of this company's business during that period.The business was founded in 1856 by the late J.C.McLaren, the father of.its present proprietor, and manager, and ever since has been supplying a large proportion of the belting used in driving the machinery of the industrial world of the Domin- fon.Fifty years ago, the present ex- traorlinary development in Canadian industries was not even dreamed of, but With the establishment on all .ides of every variety of manufacture from coast to coast, and the use of the most modern machinery on every side, the demand for leather belting grew pro rata, and hence, the business of the J.C; McLaren Belting Company has \u2018n later years grown to very large proportions.The super-excellence of the beltings manufactured by this Company, and the high class and widespread reputa- \u2018tion their productions of every kind have gained, is demonstrated fully by the fact that it supplies the belting to many of the leading manufacturers throughout Canada, These include the construction shops, car works and foundries of our great railway systems.the Montreal Street Railway's maimmoth electric stations, where the sower is generated by means of three s4-in, three-ply best quality oak tanned leather belts and twelve 24-in.doubles, \u201cach averaging about 180 feet in\u2018length, From belting of extraordinary size ad strength to those used for motors of the smallest horse power, the 3.C.MeLiren Belting Company only manufacture those of the highest grade.for durability, strength and quality.Another specialty of this company, is the manufacture of card clothing large- ty used in the woollen mills of Canada.They also carry an extensive line of leather specialties, some of which they manufacture, white some are imported .In order to facilitate \u201cthe delivery in all parts of the Dominion, of their [vast output and stock.with certainty pind celerity.the J.©.McLaren Belting [Company have established distributing agencies in Winnipeg and Vancouver; THE MONTREAL HERALD PROGRESS EDITION Pilkington Bros.Ltd.For eighty years the firm of Pilking- ton Bros.Ltd., has beer.a household word in England, and they were always known as the greatest of all glass manufacturing: houses there, their works at St.Helen's, Lancashire, and than 10,000 hands.This number will give some idea of the colossal magnitude of the firm's operations, which extend all over the civilized world.The progress and prosperity of our coun- \u201ctry.and the increasing demand for the Lest classes of every kind of building material offered a suitable opportunity to this great house to establish branches in Canada, one being in Toronto, Ont, another at Vancouver, and that at Montreal being established -in 1592, the depot being ut Busby Lane.Belr Telephone, Muin 4296 and 4297.P.O); Box 948.Pilkington Brothers, Limited, dre manufacturers 6f polished plate, window, picture, and car glass and plain and bevelled mirror plates, while they make a specialty of PRISMATIC AND WIRED GLASS.Their \u2018productions are too widely known to need a lengthy review and it is enough to say that architects freely specify os their plate and all the more progressive of contractors find it to their! avantage to use it on account of its | Mawlens quality, the close - price quo- | tations at which it is sold, and the, care taken in packing and handling: | und this applies to all the goods sold | by the firm.All \u2018glass is imported | here direct from England, \u2018while the firin has a large and well equipped bevelling and silvering plant at Bushy Tine.They occupy a spacious four- | \u2018storex building, SOx1C0 feet, in ground aren.with a one-storey wing, 40x50 feet, for warehouse, silvering and.bevelling plant, and this is equipped with very fine machinery of modern type and forty hands are employed.From Montreal three travellers cover East- érnaOntario, Quebec and Lower Prov- | inces, while at the Toronto\u2019 branch, where the firm.also carries a heavy stock of glass, they have three travellers, and one at Vancouver, and the ;

to oe in an unsatisfactory condition.The exports have fallen off nearly four thousand head since the opening of navigation, as compared with last year.The decline in the export trade of cattle is also due to the abnormally high prices at which the animals are hell on this side of the water.As a matter of fact, butchers right here in Canada are to-day paying as much for their cattle as their London brethren.R.Rattray & Sons The well-known commision house of D.Rattray & Sons was established in Quebec in 1891, to do the business of general warehouse- men and commission merchants.Its connections gradually extended, until it Is to-day one of the largest comm s- slon firms in Canada, dealing in practically all the lines of goods handled by grocery, provision, oil, paint, drug and other houses.This increase in the firm's business necessitated the opening of offices in Montreal and Ottawa in the spring of 1904, and besides the three offices thus established it has agents in all the large cities of Canada and in several American and European mercantile centres.The firm makes it an unvarying rule to form.all business connections by means of personal acquaintance.thereby being able tu assure the responsibility of the houses they act for.\u2019 Amongst the many important agencies controlled by D.Rattray & Sons may be mentioned those of Armour & Co., Chicago, packing house products;

and the harbor extends for about eight miles above and six miles below the city proper, thus giving a wâter frontage available for vessels of the deepest draught, not exceeded, even if equalled, by any other harbor Railway, at Shawinigan Falls, Grand Mere and Chicoutimi, large factories have been erected for the manufacture of wood-pulp, paper, etc., for ex- export whose shipping point is Quebec, and this trade, though yet in its infancy, gives promise of Immense de- | velopment in the near future.The timber exports developed in the country north of Quebec by the Quebec & Lake St.John Railway Co., have also to find their shipping points at Quebec, principally from the Louise Docks and this also, like the wood pulp, promises to give greater outputs year by year.> There are few districts which have undergone so great a change during the last quarter of a century as that which takes its name from the great inland sea known to white mer as Lake St.John.Prior to the constr uction of the Quebec and Lake St.John Railway, the capabilities of this vast region were known to but a very few, but in recent years settlers have been pouring in rapidlyy and it great future before it.It embraces an extent of 31,000 square miles, and therefore contains nearly twenty millions of has a.acres, It large as Belgium, whose superfiélal ex- .;

About 2,300 workmen have been employed on the new road, the dam, the tunnels, and the foundations of the power houses.The installation of the first power house involves the transportation of about 35,000 tons of machinery and: other material for construction, over the company's new rallway, a distance of thirty-two kilometres, from thee terminus of th Hidalgo and North-Eastern Railway, at Vente Colorada.During the past year a multitude of mule teams and burros, and two traction trains, were in constant service, but the company\u2019s new narrow gauge rallway dispenses with both animals of burden and traction engines, It was decided to generate and transmit, at first, 40,000 horse-power, -by two Independent lines run on specially constructed steel towers.The current being brought to the City of Mexico over two cables in this way, reasonable security Is glven against uny serious interruption of.the current, since, if one line becomes affected, ita load can be thrown on the other without more than a momentary break in the flow.Several thousand horse- power-\u2014possibly as much as eight or ten \u2018thousand, at the beginning-\u2014will be utilized at El Oro, which is one of the largest mining camps in the republic, among the mines in that vicinity.As has been-alreadv intimated, the secondary generating.plant is capable of producing another forty ihou- sand horse-power as soon as there exists a demand for more than the first installation is supplying.At present the company is supplvinæ the public street lighting of the City of Mexico, under a contract which has Hghting in Mexico City is not sure other city on the American continent.In addition to.a large motor business, the company is already supplying about 90,000 incandescent lights in México.City and its suburbs, and this branch of the business is extending very rapidly.The total quantity of electrical energy now actually under contract or being successfully negotiated in Mexico City and EI Oro is now about 20,000 horse-power: quantity, it is -estimated-that there is -a probable demand_\u2014for -from\u201415.000\u2014te future.The Mexican; Light and Power Com- generated at the new plant at such flgures as to capture practically the entire market.It is believed that the cost of the current can be placed low enough to have the effect of bringing electricity\u2018into much more general use, not onlv for purposes \u2018of light and power, but, for heating and domestio purposes.Those are not wanting, who maintain that, even in the United Staten.electrical cooking Is hy far the cheapest obtainable.Jf this be so there, the use of electricity for cooking ought to go far towards solving the fuel problem in Mexico.The officers of the company are as follows: Consulting engineer, F.S.Pearson.general attorney: Charles H.Cahan : general manager, Frang Neugebauer : chief, .engineer and manager of construction, Hugh L.Cooper; Inspecting.engineer, E.\u2018H.Drury; secretary at Montreal, A.R.Doble; treasurer at Montreal, W.G.Ross; comptroller in Mexico, H.R.Maliison: bankers.Bank of Montreal, Montreal and New.York: trustees, National Trust Company.Limited, Toronto.The head office i= at Street Railway Chambers.Montreal; and the Mexico City office at San Jose El Real.22, Esquina destCinco de Mayo.» Men on the Spot | Get the Business.| + $ \u2014\u2014 \u2014\u2014e \u2018Among the prominent and popûlar- manufacturems\u2019 agents In this capital is Mr.Tobe Blumenthal.whose office and headquarters are located in the Centro Mercantil!

the great falls of Juanacatlan, which outrival Niagara; and further on the rallroad passes within nine miles of the great volcano of Colina.This trip so replete with interest and landscapes, .Is begun along the valley of the\u2019 Lerma, the granary of Mexico, and a very thickly populated district.The first great point of interest, as well as a great curiosity, is found twenty miles from Irapuato, at the.town of Cuitzeo.This is a hot spring, which pours forth an enormous quantity of water, almost at botling point, -supply- ing all the water for bathing and wash- Ing purposes used in the town.Some La Barca valley, with its gleaming lakes, corn and wheat flelds, towns, villages, haclendas, ranches, rivers, hills and mountains.This is the port of entry to the great winter resort of the feathered fugitives of the north;

its entire length contiguous to points of the Mexican Central.New I mines are constantly being discovered, and the productio in 1802 reached the- enormous sum of $130,000,000, including gold, silver, lead and copper.In the past fiscal year Mexico produced | over $101,000,000 worth of silver alone, outstripping every other country In the world.There has, as well, been a tremendous growth in the gold production.These figures are all the more remarkable when it is known that mining is only in its Initial stages in Mexico.In agriculture and pastoral industries these.regions along the Mexican Central offer the best field fu the World.All.the agricultural products grow here, many of them spontaneously.A great part of these districts are suitable for the production -of sugar.and coffee, the

the principal and interest of the new issue of $6,- 000,000 par value of bonds, These bonds have already been underwritten at 90 per cent.The interest will require $300,- 000 per year; but the present net earnings of these two companies are now over $450,000 per year, which will be very considerably increased when the hydraulic power from the Necaxa Falls is substituted for steam power, as coal in Mexico City costs from $10 to $12 per ton.By carrying out this scheme the entire profits of operating the companies new purchased will accrue for the beh- efit of shareholders of the Mexican Light & Power Co., Ltd., and the president and directors are confident that it will greatly enhance the value of all holdings of Mexican securities.President Diaz and the chief members of the Liberal Government of Mexico have expressed their approval of this scheme of consolidatign, and Mr.F.S.Pearson, vice-president and chief consulting engineer of the company, estimates that the net receipts of

Notwithstanding the many obstacles \u2018 that had to be overcome, it can be; said safely that the Dominion Iron & Steel Company, whose works are established at Sydney, N.S8., have a firm grasp of the Canadian steel rod mare\" ket, and are now supplying the greater.part of the riw material used in thet manufacture of wire nails and kindred* articles.Members of the Executive declared a short time ago that the rod mill was in a position to supply all th demands of the Dominfon, and if they: have not actually gone that far in out put, but have allowed the United Statesd Steel Corporation, their big bogie ma of pre-dumping-clause days, to do little western business, their action is! perhaps more one of diplomagy thar of anything else.The Montreal Rollin Mills, the largest of the kind in Canad: are now huying all of thelr rods fro the Dominion Iron & Stee] Companys and so far the supply has been satise factory, both in quality and quantity.Before the dumping-clause tariff\u2019 came into effect, the United States\u2018 Steel Corporation dictated in this mane ner to the manufactures of wire nails.in Canada: \u201cUnless you buy rods from\u2019 us we will dump our finished article: on your market and demolish the trade.\u201d alternative.over tho steel works at Sydney.dumping-clause, however, The sword hung heaviest: The SIGNS OF INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS mills, it has steadily decreased in the| F900 .73,237,000 67,760,886 United States for the last thirty y'eurs, 190 .96,771,743 69,459,296 -as-the following\u201d table shows:\u2014 reo iLL LLL \u201cis.§75 220 66,661,974 1903 .87,795,104 73,756,404 WAGE - EARNERS IN UNITED! 1904 0 35,850,318 68,894,836 STATES MILLS.a \u2019 i .Mills.Total .406,529,387 $345,6: ; 1870.oon.en ee 68,448 $406.509.357 3345.533.306 DT titi tt iver inna, 58,407 1890 ener aan 47.403 1900 oan ian eee + 37,073 PLANT.OF of a more steady supply of Wheat, Al- THE LAING PACKING CO., MONTREAL, theugh not four veurs have pussed we _ ' have the proof that the lesson hus Too been learned.that improvements have \u2018'emparing there porfods of five!

portation of fresh fish to nearby cities is found nrore profitable.Yet the num- of the establishments reported in.the Canadian census, employing more than five persons, increased from 8035 to 1,097 during the lust decade.while the value of the output wus increased from $5,661,144 to $8.025,630.However, this is hardly satisfactory when it is coisidered that.the output: of the fish canning and preserving establishments in :reased during the; same decade from $6,972,262 to $22,- 253.749.The tendency of the industry, as showh by .its progress in the United States, is to centralize at points nearest the sources of supply of the ma- terfal.The states and territories located nearest the fish supply led in the _numbher of establishments, and capital \u2018and value of\u2019produuts both in 1890 and in 1900.Now there can be no question that Canadu has the fish and.it should also have the canning industries.In the older provinces there is much talk of the danger of depleting the rivers and lakes, but tlie Northwest has untouched sources of supply of such magnitude that it is almost impossible to estimate their possibilities.From the waters north of Winnipeg.over a half million dollurs\u2019 worth of fish is already being - exported, .mostly in a frozen condition, to the United States each year.ut what of- the waters from Hudson Bay to the.Mackenzie and Yukon Rivers?All through that region, spreading over thousands of miles, there are innumerable sources of supply.and with the railways now, \u2018building the \u2018problem of transportation to markets presents no insuper- | able difficulties.The canned fish from the waters flowing into Hudson Bay could go to England by water as easily as furs, while that from the waters further west could, easily rent rail transportation.It must be borne in mind that the; demand for fish In the east and south fs rapidly increasing.But no food supply is so subject to rapid putre-; faction as fishery products, and because they now have to be brought, from \u2018a distance, it has been found, necessary to employ all the processes; known for their preservation.The phenomenal increase of the fish cun- i the prices | Pacifi AS TO STEEL RAILS.As regards steel rails, the fact of, most interest is that enough contracts: are in hand to keep the mills at Sault Ste.Marie, Ont, running for the resti of the year, and to give the mills at Sydney a good start.An average out put of.say, 12,000 tons a month at the Soo will mean a total of 120,000 ton for the ten months left of this year.] The contract prices.are all on a_go paying basis.This is admitted.While the selling agents of the Algoma Steal} Company do not cure to give out the: total amount of contracts in hand of: agreed upon, it is Khowm that the average price is something lower than the market price abroad! plus the duty.The requirements of the Grand Trunk this year wil} be 25,000 tons, according, to Mr.A.Butze, general purchasinæi agent, who confirms the report that the Dominion lron & Steel Company have: secured the contract for the whole amount, and the initial shipment is te be made in June.If the output a% nowt promised in an actual contract mae terializes, there are good indications .that the company will have further op=, portunity to prove their metal.\u201d The Soo mills- have proved theirs,tand ag \u2018a result contracts have been made with} the I.C.R., the C.P.R., the Pere Mare quete, \u2018the Michigan Central, the Ale goma Central, and the Temiskaming a Northern Rallways.The contract with the C.P.R.was first announced as 25,000 tons, but it is: a good dea] more than that; in fact, the C.P.R.have entrusted all -theim needs in this line for 1905 to the Soa mills.The first Jot will be used large ly \u2018on the Toronto-Sudbury branche Then there is the Guelph-GodericN ranch in Western .Ontario,.besides double-tracking between Fort William and Winnipeg, and extensions farthe® west._ \u2019 ' The men iat the head of these pioneer steél rail mills seem to look upon the | present situation in a somewhat philos« ophical manner.In other words, the Soo looks to the .west for support and Sydney to the east.But the industry is merely beginning.The Grand Trunk antithe Mackenzie-Mann prow jects are looming in sight, and the prospect is good.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u201cning industry in the United States is proof of this growing need: No industry could be more profitable.Like the meat packing Industry, the value of the output is divided bhe- \u2018tween the producer of the raw material and the manufacturer.and the whole! of it remains in the country.The establishment of the industry requires \u2018neither intricate machinery nor large capital.The average capital Invested in the industries reported by the Canadian census was only.a little over $7,000 each.While there may be a tendency to concentration in the older fields, there are plenty of opportunities for small operators In + the

{OV a wi PULP AND PAPER.HE manufacture of pylp and | paper from wood is dest | unquestionably to become due of the greatest industries of \u2014 Canada.The raw materials required are spruce and poplar, of which Canada has a belt three thousand miles long from, Labrador to the _Pedce River valley, and the chief adva of location lies In cheap power, hen the numberless rivers and waterfalls of.the country covered.by the timber will supply in unlimited quantity.The market will be the world, for in no -other part of the earth are the natural advantages to be found to such, a de- .gree as in Canada for the development pis industéy.What has been accomplished in recent years is an earnest of what we \u2018may expect in the near future.The \u2018manufacture of wood pulp was first introduced in America in 1854, but it was not until 1867 that the process upon which the present extensive industry is based was discovered.In 1870 the eight establishments existing in the United States only produced $172,350 of pulp.The industry grew, -unt{l in 1890 the output of the American pulp mills was valued at not less than $4,627,796.But in the United States the development of this industry was checked by the growling scarcity of raw materials.In Canada the supply of raw material is inexhaustible.\"While this country has come later into the fleld the output of the Canadian pulp mills already exceeds that of the United States.\u201c.In 1881 there were only flve pulp mills in the country, whose aggregate output was valued at only $63,000.The -condition of the industry as shown by the census in 1891 and 1901 was as follows: PULP MILLS.- 1891.1901.Establishments.23 .25 Employees .1,012., 3,177 Capital .$2,885,307 $11,558,560 Wages .a 290,824 1,065,842 Products: .s:.1,063,842 4,246,781 By this time foreign capital had become Interested in this Canadian industry, and in 1903 the number of mills in the country had increased to 39, and the value of the aggregate output to $5.219,892.Since then again several > large mills have gone into operation, and although Statistics-concerning them are not yet available, their influence can be seen in new towns which are springing up in many\u2019 points of eastern Canada.That the industry is yet in its infancy, that the mills now in operation are far from sufficient to exploit the natural resources of the Canadian territory which 18 already settled, is shown by the large exports of the raw material for the manufacture of wood pulp which leave the country every year.These exports of wood pulp have unfortunately been growing every year as follows: \u2014 i EXPORT OF WOOD FOR PULP.1890 L.occocvnceroccocon.$ 80,005 189%.0ecncannscccacrecesaene 188,998 1892 vassouvenveserivncose00e 219,458 1898

It will be seen that.the proportion\u2019 supplied by Canada has a tendency to - decline, Germany and Sweden being the most formidable rivals.The principal exporters of \u2018wood pulp - in Europe are Sweden, Norway.Germany and Russia.In 1901 Norway exported $6,126.800 of wood pulp, and Sweden $6,956,900.This was a large\u2019 increase over previous years, and there, is every reason to believe the increase has continued.Now, why should not Canada compete successfully with these nations! = and with the United States, to so large an extent?The United States exports of wood\u2019 pulp have been as follows in recent years: \u2014 81, 051, 867.740,103\u2018 445,228 598,474 1904 Great Britain, Belglum and France: are the best customers of the United States in the order named, but even Canada takes some $30,000 a year of their wood pulp.Canada also takes nearly $200,000 a.year of American printing paper.This fs.a condition which cannot exist when there is capita).to take ad-, vantage of 'the opportunities which Canada offers.At the present time: one-third of the pulp wood used In the American mills 1s of Canadlan origin.When this wood is retalned ut home the American manufacturers must;

it affords food for the pettler, sport for the disciple of St.Hubert, and the hunter and trapper each find pecuniary profit in its pursuit.Wild beasts, or beasts of prey, such as pahthers, wolves and bears, although formerly abundant, are now rarely to -be found, except in-the depths: of the great northern forests, or in the fastnesses of the mountain ranges.In the almost untrodden depths of the Rocky Mountains and in the Selkirk range In the Far West, abundant trophies of the chase can yet be ohtained by the adventurous sportsman who may turn his steps in that direction.The waters of Canada teem with wild fowl in the spring and autumn, especially during the latter season, when migrating to winter quarters in the South; and, as to the finny tribe, nowhere else on the American side of the Atlantic can such fishing be had @s'the various provinces of \u2018the Dominion afford.\u2018 MOOSE IN NOVA SCOTIA.Nova Scotia Is\u2019 more celebrated for moose and salmon than the other kinds of game that are found in the sister provinces.Moose are plentiful although constantly hunted, and afford rare sport.Thre neighborhood of the chain of lakes between Annapolis and \"Liverpool, and\u201cthe Petite and,the Garden Rivers is claimed as one of the best hunting grounds, whilst the Indian guides, necessary for the full en- Joyment of sport, know all other likely grounds.Cariboo are found in the Cobequid Mountain district.Grouse are plentiful all through the province, but the finest shootlrig 1s woodcock, which are found in great numbers.8nipe are tolerably abundant, and salmon abeund-in all the ¥fvers, whilst the number of trout will surprise the fisherman unactustomed to Canadian streams.- s NEW BRUNSWICK OFFERS FINE FISHING.~The principal \u2018attractions of New Brunswick for the sportsman are moose, cariboo and the St.Croix trout or land-locked salmon.Moose are not, nearly as abundant as in former years, and can only be found Hy parties visiting the province enlisting an old hunter In their cause.The great Tantamar tmanshiin the soutWleastern part of the province has the reputation of being a splendid snipe ground, while the Resti- gouche is equally celebrated for the quantity of wild}fowl, especially geese, that visit it.\" The fishing in the New Brunswick rivers îs especially good.The Nipisi- suit, Miramichi, Restigouche, St.John, and others afford the salmon fisher glorious sport.A pligrimage to the Restigouche would afford sufficient material to keep his memory busy for years to come.A well-known American sportsman writes that \u201cthe northern countries of the province that border on the Bay of Chaleur afford ungestionably the best field for sportsmen to be found in America east of the Rocky Mountains.\u201d In the St.Croix and Its splendid chain of lakes trout abound, and are of a kind peculiar to it, known as \u2018\u201cland-locked salmon.\u201d Whether In reality a different species or a degenewWfed salmon is an open question, but they are very gamey, afford first-rate sport, and are excellent eating.Easy of access, and in a beautiful region of\u2014-the\u2014country\u2014St Croix is a favorite with tourists.FEATHERED GAME IN QUEBEC.The Province of Quebec affords excellent shooting in many parts; swans, geese, ducks, grouse, woodcock and snipe, n.oose, cariboo, salmon and trout are found in abundancé in their several localities.The chase of the two formér is only pursued during the winter, la hardy and exhilarating, but real, downright hard work, and fepays the toil.In the rivers emptying into the River and Guif -of St.Lawrence, the lordly salmon 18 to be found, and the fiy or any other fishing is simply superb.In the River St.Lawrence are localities noted as the resort of wild swans, geese and ducks, snipe and plover, curlew and sea-fowl of every kind, while the forests all through the province teem with grouse, and the, woodland \u2018openings and swampy thickets harbor countless woodcock in their Season.The large amount of unsettled country in the province.tends to .keep up the abundance of game, in which the more settled pottions of Canada are deficient.ONTARIO OFFERS VARIETY OF SPORT.ne » \u2018 - The Province of Ontarlo is so varied fn its .different districts that what applies to one portion is perhaps the opposite of another.Where settlement has advanced, game has disappeared before it, but there are large tracts \u2018of the country yet remaining clothed with the virgin forest, only visited.by the lumberman, in which game of all kinds abounds.The Ottawa district is yet one of these, ag well as Nipissing and Muskoka, although the Canadian Pacific Railway and its connecting lines are now opening-these regions for settlement, and a few yeara hence may class them only as amongst the.localitica that once held game.Moose are met with on the Dumoine and Coulonge Rivers, and in the backwoods of the head waters of the Ottawa River, -whils® deer are plentiful; duck and grouse shooling Is good, with a fair show of woodcoc': and snipe, and the waters teem with maskinonge, pickerel and bass.In all the rivers tributary to the Ottawa on its north shore, and in the lakes which lie scattered everywhere in its vicinity, trout are plentiful.In central Ontario, in the OM Frontèn* or Kingston district, there 1s still good sport to be had among the ducks, grouse and snipe, though not ,equal to former years.The country \u2018in its rear.being rocky or marshy, and unsuited for farming, still \u2018abounds with deer, and {8s a favorite hunting ground, especially along the Opeongo and Hastings section.At the Thousand Islands, a long stretch of the St.Lawrence River, unsurpassed for] beauty, and a favorite summer resort, splendid trolling is afforded for bass and maskinonge, to say nothing of fishing for smaller fry.Rice Lake, in the rear of Cobourg, and the neighboring lakes are famous for maskinonge and bass and the innumerable quantity of ducks that resort there to feed upon \u2014the- vast flelds of wild rice\u201d which abound along those waters.The Holland Marsh, between Toronto and Col- lingwood, is famous for snipe, plover and duck.In its vicinity, In years gone by, was one of the famous pigeon roosts, or places where the \u2018 wild pigeons flocked to breed in thousands, whence they mage their daily incursions into the surrounding country for od.This has, However, \"disappeared, though stragglers ocaslonally return to the roost, but the mighty flocks.of pigeons have emigrated to South America, In autumn these birds are to be found scattered in small.flocks along the edges of clearings, feeding on grain fields, but their numbers are very limited and yearly becoming less.On Lake Erle, Long Point and Point Pelee, the St.Clair flats, on the western boundary, and Baptiste Creek, are admirable ducking grounds.Long Point, averaging eight miles In breadth, and.projecting some twenty miles into the lake, with wide fringes of marsh _on both sides, in which wild rice is the chief growth, is controlled by a.club of sportsmen who keep it strictly preserved, and thus have it well stocked with game.Qualls have been iIntro- duced with grouse on \u2018the higher ground, and wild turkeys have, of late years, been introduced, which are thriving on the ridge of land running the length of the Point crowded with maple, cherry, elm and chestnut trees, affording a splendid cover for this noble bird.The only localities in Canada, apart from this; where the wild turkey yet remains are In the counties of Eesgex and Kent, and there -they are rare.In the early days of settlement, the whole western peninsula of Ontario abounded with the turkey, and the peculiar growth of the woodlands there, comparatively free from underbrush, afforded magnificent sport.Proceeding northwards along .Lake _Huron, along whose shores curlew, plo- _ver and water-fowl abound, the Mani- toiiltn Islands still afford good.shooting and fishing in_the waters round them.]| At the Straits of Mackinaw and Sault Ste.Marie splendid fishing can be had, the salmon trout of Lakes Huron and Superior attaining a very large size; whilst.all.the rivers running into the Georgian Bay and Lake Superior teem with trout, and are a feverite resort.Wherever the coûntry is in a state of nature, the sportsman must rough it and live under canvas, laying in before he starts his necessary camp furniture and provisions.All along Lake ning nto it, are a paradise for trout fishermen, and seem still to possess as many fish as \u2018when discovered.Bears, deer, and an occasional wolf may here be killed, whilst the lardef may be kept well supplied with feuthered game.SPORT FOR ROD AND GUN MANITOBA.IN In Manitoba, within a few miles west of Winnipeg, prairie fowl are to be found scattered \u201cin all directions, In numbers sufficient to satisfy any sportsman, whilst In autumn ducks and water-fowl literally cover every pond and-lake.\u201cSuccessive flocks of these keep sport alive.First, In August, \u2018the gray duck and merganser make thelr appearance, succeeded In \u2018September by sea-ducks of every description, and during these monthe geese, ducks znd prairte-fowtl take to the stubble flelds, wnere civilization has reached, and are easily shot.Professor Mäcoun states that about forty specles of game birds are to he seen on the prairie, at that season.In Southern Manitoba the elk Is yet found in the neighborhood of Moose Mountain (wrongly named), for the moose frequents the country further north, lying between Lakes Manitoba and Winnipeg.and the country west of Lake Manitoba.In the latter, as well as In the waters of Winnipeg.there are large quantities of whitefish of! Very large size and superior quality, and sturgeon of an enormous slze are found there, and in the Saskatchewan and Red Rivers.In, all the mountain streams of thè Northwest which UNièse to form the Sout Saskatchewan there are.mutitudes of beautiful trout with salmon-colored flesh.To the sportsman and the lover of the picturesque there is no place in that portion of Canada that holds out inducements equal to thôse to be found in thé Bow River district.Hunting or fishing.as he turns his gaze to the west, he will see, towering up to the rkies, peak over peak, the everlasting hills.Should the mountains become\u2019 tiresome, he has only to turn.to_the east and look over the swelling prairie, until in the distance the grassy mounds melt into the limitless horizon.\u2018The Peace River district is a great resnit for bear, both black and grizzly, and there is abundance of- the larger game.also\u2014elk, moose and deer.All its lakes teem with fish of the very best, quality: geese and ducks during their migration are in countless thousands, a evidence of which is given in the fac of many thousand geese being killed and preserved for winter use every autumn at-the Hudson Bay.Post, Fort Chippewayan.At the same place no less than 25,000 whitefish are dried -every year for winter use, such as are not required as ratlons for the men being fed to the train dogs.The country here is described as park-like, the undulating plains \u2018being dotted with groves of trees.\u2026 \u201d BIG GAME IN THE ROCKIES.Within the Rocky Mountains, besides Superior the rlvers and streams run- especially the Nepigon, fishing, hunting - the Bighorn and the am Rocky Mountain goat wlll give exciting sport.In spring and summer the males form separate bands of from three tof twenty, and feed along the edges\u2019 of glaclers, or rest among the castle-like crags of the high summits.Whether quietly feeding or scaling the wild cliffs, their noble forms and the beauty of thelr movements never fall to strike | the beholder with lively admiration.In the months of November and December all flock together.male and Jemale, old and young.Wary in the extreme, they are most difficult to approach, and it is only by exercising all the stratagems of & hunter that a shot can be fired at them.Man's incursions in the-mountains Are making the animals more wary every year, and -were it not for the inaccessible places they are able to scale, and the.giddy heights they fearlessly tread,- where men cannot follow, their days would be soon numbered and they would become lke the buffald, an animal of history., ; SHOOTING AND FISHING IN > BRITISH COLUMBIA.In British Columbia, the general aspect of the country naturally impresses the sportsman that it is a land abound- fing with game.The rugged mountain ranges are wooded on their slopes, and have in their embrace lakes, swamps, and natural meadows: lakes of all sizes, from the litle pond to the body of crystal-like water 100 miles long, often linked by streams, lake after lake turning and twisting to find an outlet to the ocean, generally through \u2018one or other of the larger rivers of the province, -all abounding with fish.On the low lands and near the const in the winter the black-tail deer is numerous.\u2019 This animal frequents the dense doniteroun.forests of the Pagtfc cbast, delighting in thelr dark and damp recesses.It 18 seldom found far .from timber or from some thick covert into which it can retreat.To the northward, where it has been but little hunted as yet, it comes down frequently to the salt water to feed on a species of sen weed cast up on the shore, and the Indians kill many, so feeding, by stealing up within shot in their light canoes.Deer-are abundant on the islands and among the mountains of the coast, but there are great areas of territory where, owing to the thick and tangled character of the undergrowth, stalking is out of the question, because of the impossibility of noiséless progress through the thickets, The elk 1s abundant on the coust line of the mainland, especlally east of the Cascade range.Grouse are found everywhere, both on the mainland and the island, frequenting the thick fern and the pine lands, the willow grouse much resembling the English\u2019 partridge.Prairie fowl are plentiful in the valleys of the east Cascada region, and occasionally the rare game bird, the sage\u201d hen or \u201ccock of the plains,\u201d may be found above Osoyoos.Ducks, \u2018geese, snipe and pigeon are everywhere, the mouth of the Fraser River especially being a great resort for wild-fowl.The valleys of the PNP el a à afford good sport for the rifle and the, gun, and, in the mountain districts, bears may be had with the.aid of.a guide and experienced hunter.The grizzly and cinnamon bear, with wolves and lynx, can be hunted, but the sport is by no means free from danger, and] considerable.roughing must be countered by the hunter.Salmon in British Columbia are far more numerous than in the Atlantic provinces of the Dominion, coming up from the sea in millions: this Is no exaggeration.Six species are sald to exist in the watews of the Pacific coast, four of which are excellent and of great commercial importance.-\u2014On-the-Fraser\u2014the-Skeenu,;and-the Bass Rivers large canneries are lo- cuted.Trout abounds in the lakes and streams, and whitefish are common in .the lakes in the middle and northern interior of the provinces.Smelts of \u2018two kinds are abundant on the coast, and a delicate fish known as the \u201cCandle fish,\u201d or Oolachan, is very abundant along the coast tn spring.\"In some portions of the province en- the country is open and dotted wifhi trees, much like an old world park, = or S Sport.ot\u2019 nitrogen is added the high percentage of gluten-in the wheat, which Bives.to \u2018Canadian No.1.-hard\u201d the\u2014 flouring qualities that has spread ite fame abroad to the end of the earth.\u201d \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ONTARIO'S SUGAR BEET INDUS: TRY.At the inaugural meeting at Cone.tigo, of a series of farmers\u2019 meetings throughout Waterloo County, Ontario, Dr.A.E.Shuttleworth, agriculturist for tha Ontario Sugar Company, Berlin, commented on- the growing popularity of sugar-beet cultivation throughout the county, which had pro- duced a-0rop-of-15;000-tons-this-present-\u2014 ix season, While 1,647 farmers, distributed over eighteen different counties, had grown more than 3,500 measured acres, This splendid crop had been converted into something over 7,000,000 pounds of niulated sugar.Le Simpson.Rennie, an expert.in roots, stated that the soil of.Ontario was excellently adpted to the growing of hugar beets.As an encouragement to beet growers who were not in the and a horseman can canter along at will without underbrush to.impede his progress.Snow.seldom falls to any, depth, except in the mountains, and, as a consequence, the game is not driven\u2019 from its regular grounds, as {in many of the other older provinces.In conclusion, this remark applies, universally; that with the advance of} settlement animal life retreats.The! western plains, so lately thronged with bands of elk and antelopes \u2018and roamed over by countless herds of bison, are yearly required more and more for; human pastures, instead of nature's; feeding ground.Hill, valley, forest and mendow everywhere are allke coming under man's control, therehy rapidly pushing to the verge of extinction any specles of animals which were.formerly abundant.But for the true, \u2018Sportsman there Is yet abundance of, game, and the migrations of the wlldi fowl\u201d save them from the universal destruction which threatens quadru- pedal-life.Canada is easy of access, its hunting grounds sre equal to any of those in Europe, and free to all, and for acenery and beauty of.landscape, for the grandeur of its forests, the wild solitude of its mountains, and the pla- eld waters of its Inland lakes, 1 stands unrivalled: - \u2014\u2014\u2014) \u201cTHE RICHEST SOIL IN THE WORLD.\u201d Prof.Tanner, the English agricultural chemist, à world-wide authority, writes of the soil of Canada in these terms: \u201cAlthough we have hitherto considered the black earth of central Russia the richest soll in the world, that land has now to yleld its distine guished position to thé rich, deep, black soil of Western Canada.Here it is that the most fertile moll in the world is to be found.These solls are a rich vegetable humas from one to four feet in depth.The surface deposit in rich in nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash, and all other chemical | Thompson, Okonagon, and Cache Creek ingredients that go to make up 8 \u2018 A vicinity of a sugar factory and had freight to pay.Mr.Rennie quoted the followinæ figures, showing the profits for a grower in Scarborough, assuming an average of fifteen tons per acre:\u2014 Rent of land per acre, $4.manure, $7; fall ploughing.(twice), $3; spring cultivation for seeding, $1.25: sowing, $1.40; thinning and hoeing (first and second times), $7.50: scuffling, four or tive times, $2; pulling, $1: toppihg, $7.60; teaming a distance of three miles to - station, 37.50; freight on fifteen tons at eighty cents per ton, $13; additional freight on six per cent.tare, ninety cents; eighteen 1b.of seed at ten cents per lbs, acre on u fifteen-ton crop produced at a distance of eighty miles from the face tory, and delivered at Berlin, $36.85, Taking the average per cent.of sugar of the tota ldeliverfes In 1903, viz., 15.3, these fifteen tons would realize at the - factory.$5.10 per ton, or_a_total of.$76.50.After deducting the above estie mated cost, $56.85, a profit of $19.65 was realized.But to this should be justly added the commercial value of the pulp, Hr $1.80; making a total cost per: EE * À Daa viz,\u201d $3.75; and there was a clear net profit of $23.40: \u2018It must not be for- \u201cgotten,\u201d continued Mr.\u201cRennie, most of the items of estimated cost are sums of money actually earned by the grower, and are based on an allowance of $3 per day for team, and $1.50 per day for hands.\u201d .In thé sücceeding discussion it was declared that in comparison with profits accruing from oats, barley, turnips, etc, the beet crop was the only one grown on the farm that would stand the coat of production charged up to it and show a net profit, Canada supplied 4.57\" per cent.of all the buttér imported by Great Britain fn 1903, aquantity totalling 20,771,968 pounds.In 1895 the Imports of Cana- adian butter were only 1.38 per cent.of the total, or 4,362,288 pounds.\u201cthat \u2014 ve r ré nm ta fe So be mada N ~~ DS 1e {ndebted for a large measure of the stability-uniformity, and centfal- ization of the ystèm;-from thé older \u201csettled' parts of the Ne 2 .provinces in 1867 hundreds of thou- \u2018 system which combines the best feat- .must attend four years in order to 4 Population of Canada Nearing Six ] Opening up of Western Canada has given impetus to growth of population.States replaced by a movement to the Canadian Census Returns show.big increase.West.Exodus to the United ECENT statistics show that while the number of persons inhabiting one square mile in the United Kingdom at the last census was 844, in Canada there was only 15 Person per square mile in the Dominion as a whole.The most densely populated portion of Canada was Prince Edward Island, with 51.6 persone to the square mile: then comes Nova Scotia with 22.5: New Brunswick with 11.8; Ontario with 89: Quebec with 4.8: Manitoba with 3.9; while in British Columbia and the North-West Territories, including Alberta and Sackatchewan, which are about to be made into self-governing provinces, there was only one person in every twenty square miles.In 1881 our total population was 4.324810.According to the last census, taken in 1901, it was 5.371,315.The present number is rapidly approaching the 6.000.000 mark.Canada\u2019s greatest need to-day is the influx of settlers of good physique, good habits, and persevering industry.To such, no other area' of the British Empire offers such inducements and such prospects.Long after the confederation of the sands of the best type of emigrants left the shores of the United Kingdom and settled in the United States without any systematic effort being made by either the Canadian or -the British Governments to direct-them to a land even richer in\u2019 opportunities, and one where they would have continued to enjoy all the advantages of British citizenship.OPPORTUNITY 'STILI EXISTS.The same opportunities.however, have been available ever since the completion of the first trans-continental railway as are offered now: the agrl- cultural lands of the public domain were no less productive than they are found to be now.by the thousands of well-to-do immigrants who have had the good fortune to take them up as a free gift from the Government: railway farnflities from ocean.to ocean.through the fertile wheat flelds of western Canada were afforded as far back as 1887: the gatea of Canada.both along the three thousand miles of boundary on the south and at ocean ports, had always been left wide open: the natural resources of the country had always existed.but notwithstanding these favorable conditions, the British settler passed our door on his way to the neighboring Republic, while the American agriculturist almost seemed to scorn the Hmitless flelds ex-\u2019 important British colonies, clearly show that Canada has at last emerged from a state of semi-stagnation in which it has remained for so many years, and its future advance, as judged by the remarkable progress of: the past few years, must henceforth be by leaps and bounds, SECURING THE RIGHT crass\u2019 | That Canada, however, should be a nation of fifteen or twenty million inhabitants within a comparatively few years\u2014and there are strong grounds for such belief from present indica- tions\u2014is -a consummation to be sincerely wished for, but the question of numbers, desirable as it may be, ia not the chief result aimed at.The social character of the people that are being added to our population, and their adaptability to become loyal, prosperous and contented Canadians, Is considered to be \u2018a matter of far greater moment.In this endeavor, the Department of the .Interior has been highly successful, as a careful analysis of the result of the work, both as regards \u2018the nuniber of new arrivals and the desirable classes to which they belong shows.The immigration or 1004 was largest in the history of Canada.and while there are no doubt economic! conditions underlying the movement of| population from one country to another, over which Individual or corporate| action has little effect, still, when it; is borne in mind that only a few years; ago, as evinced by the returns of that] time, Canada was almost ignored by the emigrating world as a fleld for settlement, and that immediately following the adoption of certain methods; for fostering and stimulating British! and United States immigration, the.number of arrivals from those coun-; trles has assumed Buch large proportions to-day that it exceeds the entire: British emigration to the United States there would appear to be little doubt that to the work of the immigration \u2018branch of the Department of the Interior must he largely attributed the favorable change that has \u201cbeen brought about.FOREIGN IMMIGRANTS.It 1s a familiar sight to Canadians to see the rallroad stations lined with strange-looking travellers, called \u2018\u2019immigrants.\u201d As the, years go by, the influx of this class of people increases, And a \u2018train load of oddly attired aliens, passing through Montreal, now excites much less curiosity than it did a few tending to the north of the Western! States, | The moment, however, that vigorous: steps were taken by the Department of: the Interlor, at Ottawa, to attract im-, migration to this country by judicious advertising and by the adoption of practical methods for educating the agricultural classes of the United King-| dom and the United States as to the\u2019 possibilities of the .country, thousands! upon thousands of the most desirable settlers are pouring into Canada, and are becoming contented and prosper-\u2019 ous citizens.The steady increase in the flow of Immigration that has been\u2019 directed towards-this country, the {n-: terest aroused amongst «United \u2018States capitalists as to its possibilities, the attention which the wealth of its agri- eultural and other natural resources commands to-day in Great Britain, in Europe, and even in some of the most.\u2014_ ! Canada that year and found homes in years ago.The Canadian is \u2018becoming familiarg#{th types of all the European, races.he Government returns for 1904 show that 34785 immigrants, speaking a foreign tongue.came into the far west.\u2018The record for.the current year will far exceed this, so that the|- population by immigration last year was 180,330.The following comparative statement shows the number of immigrants arriving in Canada, by countries, during the years ending June 30, 1908 and 1904: \u2014 \u2018 Country.1908.1904.English and Welsh .82.510.36,694 Scotch \u2026.\" 7,046 10,552 Irish .res.2,286 8,128 Total British .41,792 = 50,874 African, South .21 Australian .48 58 Austrian .781 516 Bohemian RER -18 91 Buckowinian .1,759 1500] Croatian ., 1 16 Galiclan ,.8,382 7.729 Hungarian .2,074 1,091 Slovak creer 82 118 Belgian .+ 808 858] Brazillan 0.v.000 3 Bulgarian.7 14 Dutch .[OT 228 + 169 French .cevv0e., 937 1.634 German \u2026encasue 1,869 2,966 Prussian esp 5.\u2026 -11| Saxon .oseusce 18 West Indian .17 52: Bermuda .\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026\u2026.e , Greek ii 183 191; Hebrew '.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026\u2026\u2026.\u2026.2,066 8.727 Italian .00003 8,370 4.445!

Ireland came the .first series of text books; \u2018from Scotland the co-operation of parents with the teacher in uphold; \u201ctng his \u2018authority; and from Germany was Introduced the system of normal schools and the Kindergarten.The three main features of elemen- \u201ctary,\u201d secondary \u2018and higher éducation are clearly defined in the system adopted In Ontario: It 1s- held- that each of these has its own proper field, and that no one of them should trench upon the flelds of the .others.The child enters the Kindergarten at perhaps four years of age, and the Public Schools.when six, and at about the age of thirteen is prepared for entrance to a High School.Fout or five years spent at the High Schobl or Collegiate Institute enables the student to matriculate in a University, where he \u2018gain the degree of B.A.Only a small portion of the youth in any country are fitted or able to reach the highest rung of the educational adder; and the course of study for, from, .character.\u201cMoreover, the curricalum of the High Schools in the lower formg puts stress upon English, arithmetic, geography, history, elementary science, book-keeping, drawing.reading, last, but not least, physical education.EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION.The Provinces of Ontario and British Columbia have a Minister of Education and a general superintehdent.In the Province of Quebec education is under the control of the Superintendent ot Public Instruction, assisted by a council of thirty-five members, divided into committees for the managemerit of the respectively.In Manitoba, New Brunswick and North-West Territories the Executive, associating with \u201cthem others not of the, Executive, with a superintendent, have control.In Nova Scotia the.Executive Council and à superintendent carry on the work.In xince Edward Island the \u2018education is the control of a board and a puperintonds >-both appointed by the Government.; The educational facilities \u201cfor aboriginal inhabitants of \u20acanada \u2018are provided by the Federal Government of Canada, who are\u2014the guardians of the Indian tribes.La \u201cThe educational equipment of Canada/ consists of seventeen universities twenty colleges, nineteen classical schools, eight ladies\u2019 colleges, .one academy, twenty- three \u201cdenominational and private institutions not having degree-conferring powers;

encouraged by the| Government, Anyone who will éulti- vate the land In the west can get a farm of 160 acres free: while in Northern Ontario and Quebec he can procure one on nominal terms, in some instances without any cost, He can also buy land from rallway and other corporations at a low figure, In Canada, because land 1s procured so easily, nearly all the farmers, nearly eighty seven per cent, own their own hold-| ings: and any capable farm laborer.if he chooses to exert fimself for a few years, may himself become an owner.Duridg the last few years the large harvests of the Canadian farmers have been attracting great attention In Europe and In the United States.The results from the keen solicitation In all the best countries of the world Justify .a continuance of the\u2026 active work the Immigration officers _ have been doing.INCREASE OF LAND-OWNERS.The revenue of the Department of the Interior on account of Dominion {lands for the last seven years is in © excess of the revenue for the previous twenty-five vears on the whole, This goes to show that a proper stimulus has been given to the movement of population towards the rich agricultural lands of Western Canada, and \u201cthat this public asset.instead of being a burden to the nation as formerly, 18; becoming a source of revenue which will goon more than offset the expenditure neceasary for the proper administration of the same.There has again been a large in crease in the amount of registration fees collected during 1904 as.compared with the previous year.The.revenue.from this source since 1897 is over four times as large as for the previous seven Years, and this should be taken as a clear indication of the growing activity in real estate transactions consequent upon the increased demand on the part 1.111.566; with highest results.the Old World now directed this way.Energetic Policy of Interior Department meeting Tide of Immigration from of population prove.this assertion.t of persons who find it to their advantage to acquire lands in Western Canada.Besides the Government lands sold during the past year, no less than 10,512,349 acres, of a value of $36,- 992.482, was disposed of by the Hudson Bay Company and by various ratlway companies which held concessions \u2014fronrthe-Domintoh-Government==\u2014 Nova Scotia, 380,857;

Lower Canada, 250,000; New Brunswick (then including Nova Scotia).35,000: and Prince Edward Island, 9.676.That is, Canada\u2019s population in a hundred years Increased over fifteen times.The population of the United States increased sixteen times in the same period.the four provinces forming the con-! feder: tion of 1867, giving the growth in fifty years, shows: \u2014 1851-2.1901.Upper Canada .952,004 2.182,947 Lower Canada .890,261 1,64&,898 New Brunswick .193,500 381.120 Nova Scotia .276,854 459,674 Total :.\u2026.2.312,919 4,622,449 This leaves a population of 648.866 for the.rest of Canada.which includes British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, and the Territories.Fifty years ago the white population west of Ontario was sparse, the Territories being only hunting grounds, gold not having In 1860-61 another censug was x taken fn various parts of what Is now Canada.the results showing a population of 3,174,443, divided as follows: Upper Canada, 1396081;

According to the latest returns, there are 23,865 teachers connected with the public schools of Canada, a large proportion of whom are females In the Province of Ontario, in 1885, sixty-two per cent.of the teachers of in and in 1901, seventy-four per cent.In \u2018the cases of Manitoba and the Northwest, where the Federal Government owned.the land, Parliament, by one of the first Acts relating to the Northwest, after the country had been acquired, set apart two out of every thirty-six sections of 640 acres for school purposes.In the Province'of Ontarto (partially) and Quebec (wholly), the public schools \u2018are divided on religious lines, there being in each.public schools called Roman Catholic Separate Schools and Protestant Separate Schools.À In the Province of Ontario, 43,987 pupils are enrolled in - the Separate Public fSichools, and 414619 in General Public Schools.the\u2019 A \u2018comparison of the population of| been discovered in British Columbia.| Canada showed 102,858 Indians, 76,358 of whom were east of the Rockies, and 26,000 In British Columbia.The Indian population was thus divided : Prince Edward Island, 323;

system and equip-; ment have been the constant theme| of admiring visitors from Europe, the! last most distingulfshed of whom was.Right Hon.John Morley.Almost alone among Canadlan colleges, McGill University owes its origin to a private endowment.Its founder, the Hon, James McGill, was born in Glasgow, October 6, 1744.He came to Canada before the revolution of 1778, and became a very successful merchant.By his will he bequeathed hls house.and property, knowh as \u201cBurnside,\u201d and a sum of £10,000, to found \u201can university or college for the purposes of education and the convenience of learning in this province of Quebec.\u201d Mr.McGill died in 1803.Owing to various difficulties it was 1829 before the work of university \u2018teaching was commenced with the faculties of Arts, and Medicine.Thirty years later, the citizens of Montreal awoke to_theineed of extending the work, and in \u20181855 the late Sir Willlam Dawson entered upon his long term as Principal, which, upon \u201chis retirement in 1895, found McGill tn the front rank of the universities of the British Empire and the world at large.?The present Principal, Dr.Willlam Peterson, came from the University College of Dundee, in 1895.There are now upwards of 1,150 students, and the amount of the endowments, exclusive of buildings and equipment, is over $3,000,000.The faculties are those of Arts, Law, Applied Science and Medicine.That of Applied Science includes the departments of electrical, civil and mechanical and railway engineering; recent development, mining, metallurgy, surveying and geodery, architecture and practical chemistry, There ts an elaborate equipment of experimental engines of all kinde\u2014steam, gas, oil, hot air and electrical all being represented by their various types.The elaborate engineering and electric equipment of McGill University called \u2018orth the most enthusiastic encomiums Engineers, of which a large delegation spent some time in Montreal on their | way to the Convention at the St.Louis | Exhibition last year.Sir William White Admitted there was no institu- { tion In\u2019 Great Britain which afforded | such facilities to the earnest student.| The Electrical Engineering department is located In a separate building, pro- | vided by the munificence of Sir | William Macdonald, who is only one of the many successful citizens of Mont-| real who have donated iarge sums for the extension of the building and equipments of this great and growing.university.The university possesses in addition a beautiful library and museum, and has recently provided a magnificent residential hall for its women- -students, | a step which will shortly be followed by the erection of residential halls for men.The university extends its influence to schools throughout Canada, and there are affliated to it no less than four theological and three other \u2018colleges, situated at Quebec, Stanstead and Vancouver.4 T \u2018 | UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO.The University of Toronto, which is actually the Provincial University .of Ontario, owes its existence to a Royal charter secured from the British Gov- -ernment-by- that Iindefatixable pioneer of Canadian education, Dr.(afterwards Bishop) Strachan.This charter was granted in 1827, and the title of the institution it created was \u2018the University of King's College.\u201d From the day that\u2019 Dr.Strachan landed with the charter in his pocket, however, until the passing of the Baldwin Act by -the-Legislative Assembly in-1849, there was an unceasing agitation concerning the religious constitution which the reverend\u2019 Doctor, then Archbishop of York, had secured for the.new college, and which made it as completely an establishment of the Church of England as any Qxford or Cambridge college.before the.abolition of tests.The consequence of this ecclesiastical character was the establishment of Arts colleges by the Methodists, Presbyterians and Roman Catholics.The Baldwin Act changed the name of the institution to the University of Toronto, abolished all denominational characteristics, and wiped out of existence the faculty of Divinity (an act which led to the establishment of Trinity University).The college rapidly gained in.popularity, and in \u2018University, have all\u201cCome Into union of equipment of scientific education, cent building in Queen's Park.Toronto, which was finished in 1859.A pe- cullar combination of circumatances led to the expenditure on this superb Norman pile of à sum of money far in excess of what any educational authority has ever devoted to sheer architectural beauty in the Dominion of Canada either before or since.A statute camé into force in 1853 which gave to the denominationa] colleges already mentioned a -reversionary claim on'any of the annual endowment fncome of the \u2018University of Toronto which might femain unexpended at the end of the year; and the income being then far in excess of requirements, and the University authorities having no intention of allowing their endowment to go to their rivals, -it was decided to| erect a building which would of itself consume all the surplus income until such time as the college had grown to require {tffi.the work of teaching.The denominational bodies petitioned arid protested, but the only result was the final abolition, in 1869, of all Government aid to institutions of higher education other than the Provincial University.The next step in the development of the Provincial University was the Federation Act of 1887.un which Victoria University (Methodist).St Michael's (Roman Catholic).Knox College (Presbyterian), Wycliffe Col=-Scheols\u2014in the four lege (Anglican), and 1 \u201cyear Trinity with the University of Toronto.There are also in affilllation colleges of agriculture, music, dentistry, veterinary science and pharmacy.The endowment of \u2018the univ ersity Is now eftirely inadequate, and ever since the recent rapid increase In the cost the institution has been a constant suppliant at the doors of the Legislature for adequate financial support which has fortunately been forthcoming fn the last few years to an unprecedented degree.In spite of small funds and sraalP salaries, Ît has numbered among its staff some of the most brilliant educators in Canada, The name of 8!r Daniel Wilson, who preceded the present president, Mr.James Louden, is second to none among the thinkers of his day.The Rev.John McCaul, D.D., who in turn preceded him, was a classical critic and litterateur of world-wide reputation.OTHER PLACES OF LEARNING.$1.89;

and McMaster, of Toronto, in 1887.The University of Manitoba was created by Act of Parliament of that province in 1877, six years after the inauguration of the province {tself.Though a large portion of academic institutions have each a Hmited attendance of students, the aggregate amount of university work .doñe over the Dominion is very great, and it is certain to exercise a powerfuj and helpful influence on the Intellectual life of the Canadian people.COST PER\u201cCAPITA.Fifty years ago there were 4,297 provinces;- \u201cwhich = were attendgd by 306,337 puplls.there are 19891 schools\u201418,799 of which are public and the others high, normal, model, and private\u2014and thers are in attendance 1,112,120 pupils, and the average dally \u201cnttendance is 578,- 201.These pupils are taught by 29,542 teachers, and the schools are conducted at an annual cost of $11,240,711.One tario was not in the lead fifty years ago, but she is to-day and has been for years past.In 1902 Ontario had 6.260 schools, with an enrolment of 4%80.15% pupils, and she spent on these schools and.thelr 10,016 teachers $4,825.160, of which $1,806,590 came from the Provine clal.Government and $3.959.912 from municipal taxdtion and other sources.But Manitoba spends more per head on her puplis than Ontario.the tome parison being as.$5.22 to $2.20.The expenditure per head of the other provinces for 1903 was: Quebec, $1.40;
