The granting of the Street Railway franchise to the town of Edmonton 18 not the least of the many proofs ot development.Mr.Ralph D.Mershon, of Montreal, and 29 Broadway, New York, is the cn- g'iicer in charge of the Street Railway, charter for which, he says, bas been granted.In the course of an interesi- ing interview Mr.Mershon said that the portion of the railway directly wituin the town limits will be in operation be fore September, 1905, construction oi the line beginning early next month.Edmonton 13 ekirted on the south by the Saskatchewan river, which flows in a valley about two hundred feet below the level of the town.Huge coal de- posite bave been discovered in the immediate vicinity and are at present undergoing considerable development.Railway possibilities are of the brightest.The Grand \"frunk Pacific will pass through the fown when completed, and kdmonton is even puw divisional tead- quarters for the company, which bas but recently opened up offices these, The Canadian Northern are approaching rapidly with their line and expect to have 1t completed to Edmonton by next winter.Besides being on the Calgary branch of the C.P.R., the Electric ! Railway Company also contemplate building a line to the town of Prince Albert, situated about nine miles north oï KÆd- monton, with a farming population of over five hundred, and à great grain centre.: The social economic wide of the town ; has ot been neglected.The buildings , are of the most zubetantial type, with | sanitary conditions up to date; and the | i town has been generally laid out with a fine sense of the artistic.* A large hotel \u2014The Alberta\u2014has just been completed, and reflects the grentest credit on the enterprise of the promoters.There will be atcommodation for over two, hundred guests in this hoetelr.\u2018The residential part of the town has been built up very rapudiv\u2014mn fact.within the last eighteen months many valuable dwellings have been erected on the west side of the town and near the beautiful park which has been espertaily reservod for the townspeople.The streets have been laid out with a view to the future increase in traffic, being eighty feet wide In most cases.Naturæl gas has bzen struck a short distance north of the town, while coal ter of the purest quality has also been found.Mr.Mershon 1s most enthusiastic Te- garding the great resowrea of the Territories.It isa source of national pride that many euch thriving towns are now in existence in the west.Kn- terprise and development are the surest signs of progress, that such is in evidence throughout the Territories, and more especially in tbe thriving town of Edmonton, is proof that Canadians have unbounded faith in the future of that great country, the possibilities of which they have learned mot to underestimate.UNION OF MUNICIPALITIES WHAT IS BEING DONE BY BINED ACTION A bulletin issued by the Union nf Canadian Municipelities under date of April 25, 1904, says: \u201cThe first bill of the present federal session, in which the important rights obtained for municipalities during the laet session were brought into question, was that of the Brantford and Hamilton Railway Company, in which representatives of the union appeared before the Railway Committee prepared to support the municipalities concerned.Forta- nately.the preparations to do so had their effect, and the company coneeded everything requested by the town: clauses were introduced imposing muni- COM.Advertisements, Stomach, You feel as if the bottom had dropped out of life.Its a \u2018\u2018pick-me-up\u201d you want\u2014try Nerviline.Nothing restores quiet and order to the stomach like Nerviline.it's an old and testad remedy for all stomach troubles.If you haven't used Nerviline you've missed a good thing.Cet It to-day from your druggist\u2014he always has Polson's Nervillne.Price 250.BEEC nourishment from food.There is no remedy afterwards, as these Pills\u2018aid Sold by afl Deuggists in Summer Resorts TO SET YOUR LIVER WORKING RIGHT .is absolutely imperative ¥ you are to get any comfort from life or nt X torpid ver can be a very condition : and - should not be.neglected.Ww I thoroughly, - promptly and safely-as Beecham's Pills.vigorous but mild, and cause no inconvenience or nausea.TO BE RID OF CONSTIPATION quite-as good as Becgham\u2019s Pills, not only to loosen the howels but: inthe after effects.There is no binding up chromically constipated can become regular and be rid of the consequent ts formerly theirs by use of BEECHAM\u2019S PILLS, Caoada and U.S.America.Advertisements.CONSTIPATION HEADACHE soon sat right by I'S PILLS ry dangerous Few medicines act as Nature in a natural way.Persons doxes, 25 conts.HOTEIL, VEI.VET, OLD ORCHARD BEACH, MAINE, Just the place for summer vacation.8 your vacation at Old Orchard Beach, Maine, the longest and widest beach in the world.Æxreellent Beach for automobiles.Reasonable rates.First-class mansge- ment.Fer particulars address JOSEPH ALONZO NUTTER, Hotel Grenoble, Seventh Avenue and 58th Street, New York City.FRANKLIN HOUSE And COTTAGES, Highgate Springs, Vt.A most enjoyabla, Summer Resort on the ! sbores of Lake Champlain, in near proxim- , time.îty to Missisquoi Park.Delightful scenery, pure air, every facility for outdoor sports;

lumber- mer.He pointed out that as matters stand to-day rough lumber is admitted to Canada duty free, whilst Canadian lumber consigned to the United States = met with a hostile duty of $2.40 per thousand feet.The Canadian saw mill owner bas to import bis machinery, with tarif charges of from twenty-five to thirty percent.Moreover.British Col umbia lumbermen are at a disadvan tage in ghipments to the North-West os against their American competitors.bv reason of the freight rates.The British Columbians purchase their supplies from the Territories, but have not the trade that they should enjoy in return.Washington, Oregon and Montana were in the habit of shipping their surplus stocks to the Canadian North-West, and rajoved every advantage for doing so, wluist British Columbia

Montreal, for the present conditions.because it is well known that no American lumber would be coming into the Canadian west at all were it not for the British Columbia lumber combine, which compelled the settlers on the prairies to pay exorbitant prices in recent years.lt would be a great imposition and hardship if a duty waa imposed on American lumber s0 as to compel the settlers to pay big profits to the British Columbia mill- owners.As it was.the price for rough lumber bad been increased four and five dollars a thousand, and the average settler could not get along if he, was net to get relief from some quarter.A VOICE FROM THE PRAIRIES.Mr.Walter Scott, Liberal, of Regina, endorsed Mr.Mackie's statement of the case, and quite agreed that American Mrmber wouid not be coming in at all if It were not for the British Columbia saw-millers\u2019 combine, which compelled western settlers to pay exorbitant prices for every stick they require.As it was, he denied that even now any large proportion of .the- lumber used on the prairies 8 ported from the United States.SUPPORT FOR MR.MORRISON Mr R.G.McPherson, of Vancouver, answered that $684.000 worth of lumber was imported last month from the United States for use in Manitoba and the Territories.He supported the British Columbia Immbermen\u2019s plea for fair play.and denied the existence of any combine.He was neither a free trader nor a protectiomist in tariff matters, but what he defined as a \u2018progressionist.British Columbians bought their butter, cheese, beef, mutton and flour from the dwellers on the.plains, and had no option in the matter by reason of the 25 percent duty which gave them no chance to import from the United States.Why, then, should the dwellers on the plains object to duties that would confine their rurchases of lumber to Canaeian sources of supply?MR.DAVIS'S VIEWS.Mr.T.O.Davis, Liberal member for Saskatchewan, said it was ridiculous to claim that British Columbia lumbermen were not in a combine.In his own town of Saskatoon he kñew of men who sent their good money to British Col umbia for- carloads of lumber.Lut were told they must buy in Saskatoon, that they must purchase from the combine representative there and pay combine prices.Instead of putting a duty cn rough lumber he would like to see the duty removed from dressed lumber as well, DR.DOUGLAS.Dr.Douglas, Liberal member for East Assiniboia, said undoubtedly there wus a combine of British Columbia lumber men and of North-West dealers.He had seen a circular from Vancouver fixing prices for the Territories.MR.BENNETT.Mr.W.H.Bennett, Conservative member for Kast Simcoe, took advantage of the opening to point out the incon sistencies of Liberal members on the tar: iff question.FLOODED WITH ORDERY, Mr.Frank Oliver, Liberal member for Alberta, read a newspaper paragraph from Vancoover stating that the British Columbia saw mills are flooded with orders.The only trouble was to get care enough to handle the shipments.Mr.Aulay Morrison replied that only yesterday the largest saw mill on the coast had been closed down.The Finance Minister answered that this was not a time for a discussion of tariff questions.He promised, however, that the west would get fair consideration on the subject that had been presented.The matter then dropped.THE TRANSCONTINENTAL LINE.The House spent a few minutes in committee on section nine of the transcontinental railway bill, but made no progress with the measure.The government in reply to questions from the Opposition side, insisted that there were ample securities both from the Grand Trunk and the Grand Trunk Pacitic companies to ensure the operation of the eastern division of the new tramps.continental road from Winnipeg te Quebec and Moncton.Third reading was given to the pri vate bills that had aiready passed the committee stage, and the House rose early out of respect to the memory ut Mr.McCreary.COTTON IMPORTATIONS.A motion presented to the House ot Commons yesterday shows that the um- ports of manufactured cottons into Canada in the last six years have been as follows:\u20141898, $5,250,437; 1899, §6.- 431,469; 1900,

brought down yesterday in connection with the investigation of Lieut.-Col.Evanturel's complaint against Major Ouellet, of the 9th Regiment, Quebec.The court of enquiry into Major Ouellet\u2019's conduct was composed of Col.Vidal, D.A.GG; Lieut.-Col.Roy, D.O.C, and Major FF.D.Lafferty, DS A.Licut.Col.Evanturel's charge was that Major Ouellet assembled his fellow officers and by misrepresentation secured an expression of their wish that the command of the Voltigeurs should pass to Major Luc Routhier, the second major of the regiment.The compliam- ant alleged that this action caused spite, animosity and dissensions in the corps.Major Ouellet, in a letter to Lieut.Col.Évanturel, said that he was informed by the D.O.C.of his (Lient.-Col Evanturel's) intention to retire from the command of the Ath Regiment on account of his health, and that the D.O.C.could not recommend Major 1 Oscar Evanturel #3 his successor, eo that FOR WEAK WOMEN.| orn Out and Discouraged\u2014 Women Who Are Nervous and Hysterical and on the Verge of Despair \u2014 Women Who Are Almost Driven Crazy with Pain and Suffering.MRS.EDWARDS.*For the past nine months I have used Dr.Chase\u2019s Nerve Food, and for a considerable time I have not ex symptoms mentioned above.RE per, 11 to bed.Everywhere women are suffering from ailments which can be readily cured by the use of Dr.Chase's Nerve Food.Headache, indigestion, nervous exhaustion, sleeplessness, irritability, dizzy spells, weakness and feelings of discouragement and despondency are among the symptoms, while troubles of a feminine nature are also directly traceable to an exhausted and run-down condition of the system.An dbundance of rich, red blood and a plentiful supply of nerve force are absolutely necessary to woman's health, and because of its extraordinary power as a creator of blood and nerve force Dr.Chase's Nerve Food has established a wonderful record as a cure for woman's ailments, MRS.R.W.EDWARDS, 33 Murray Street, Brantford, Ont., describes her case as follows :\u2014** For five years I have suffered more than words can tell from nervous headaches, nervous dyspepsia and exhaastion.times almost drive me

Ouellet declares that the D.O.C.asked him to ascertain: the opinion of the company comm:nders: The return contains the evidence taken before the court of enquiry tbat met in Quebec in February.Major Ouellet called no witnesses in his own behalf; but testified that the alleged irregularities, if anv occurred, were committed at a time when he was not subject to military law.For this reason he deni-d any guilt and made no defence.Since the court of .enquiry of February new developments have occurred which resulted in the resignation of thirteen officers of the Voltigeurs, and it is understood that another enquiry will be made to ascertain how far Major Ouellet was responsible for this measure.Mr.Sinclair.the new Liberal member.for Guysboro\u2019, will point the government's attention to the desirability of appointing a Canadian commercial agent in Newfoundiand in view of the success that has attended the labors of ths Am-, erican consul on the island in promoting trade with his country.! It has been decided to add a new wing to the western departmental buildings in Ottawa, costing sixty thousand dollars.It will extend eastward from the Inland Revenue wing and partake of the same architectural order as the portion of the building constructed in the davs of the Mackenzie Government.The new wing will merely close in the fourth side of the quadrangle and therefore not interfere with the general appearance of the block or trespass on the lawns that make Parliament Hill such an attractive spot In summer.The.new part will be used in part for elec trical and other instruments of the In- Jand Revenue Department and in part, no doubt, by offices.QUEBEC LEGISLATURE City Bill and Passed.Montreal Amended BILLS, Quebec.May 4\u2014In the Assembly this afternoon Mr.MeCorkill introduced 3 hill to amend the law respecting pawm- brokers, the object being to permit \u2018your uncle\u2019 to sell off at private sale articles pawned upon which less than $2 have been loaned, while still retain ing the auction system as regards articles upon which amounts over that figure have been advanced.Mr.Roy (Kamouraska) also introduc ed a bill to amend the Municipal Code with respect to automobiles, the purpose being to limit the speed of these machines in rural highways to six miles ar hour.THE QUEBEC BRIDGE.In reply to Mr.Pelletier, the Treasur er stated that $120,000 had been paid by the province to date on account of the subsidy of $250,000 voted to aid the construction of the Quebec bridge.CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS.Mr.Pelletier\u2019s motion to replace on the order paper his bill to amend the | LC RAT AE A2 x des PTT GES Si ha A os _ law respeeting - controverted elections, \u201cwhich was thrown out some days ago by the Legislation Committee, gave rise to a lengthy ssion, in which the mover and Messrs.McCorkill, Leblanc, | Gouin, Flynn and others took part, and which: resulted in one of the most de- .eisive votes of the session, the division being 53 against the motion and tor the government, and only eight in its favor.The motion was consequent!» rejected, and, after some other business of minor importance, the House rose at 6 o'clock.MONTREAL CITY BILL.__ After recess, the Montreal City Bill was taken u in Committee of the Whole and adopted without discussion or amendment, but on Mr.Lacombe'3 motion for its third reading, Mr.Pelletier moved in amendment to it to strike out clauses 5, 6 and 7, which were added in the Private Bills Committee, and which related to inducing persons to al- Jow themselves to be nominated or to refrain from being candidates or to withdraw if they have so become, ete.and to affecting pending cases.To the general surprise, this amendment provoked no objection whatever, but was at once unanimously adopted, when the bill as amended was reported and then read the third time and passed, us the result clearly of a previous understand: ing on the subject between the parties all round.But, however reached, need- logs to say that it was accepted with a general feeling of relief as removing one great obstacle to the shortening ci the session, Still it is expected that when the measure reaches the Private Bills Committee of the Legislative Council there will be another stiff fight over some of its clauses there.lt is thought also that the opponents of an increase of the Protestant school rates in Mont real are preparmg for strenuous resistance to the bill on that subject when it comes up in the Council.Meanwhile the Rev.Barclay is here \u2018watéhing the course of events.BILLS PASSED.The following bills were also finally ssed:\u2014 To incorporate the parish of the mun: cipality of Cote St.Paul, to change the limits of the municipality of the village of Notre Dame de Grace west, and to ratify an agreement between the cor poration of the said village and the Grand Trunk Company;
