The report submitted by the Executive asks the legal de- partment to prepare legislation to secure a more equitable assess- ment on farm lands. Land valued at $300 an acre in some sections of the City is as. sumed to be worth only $39,450 while the real value of the land is $1,125,000, Notre Dame de Grace, Mount Royal, and Rose- mount are shown as wards where- in this inequality in assessment and taxation is most obnoxious.

Winnipeg, Man.--A story of lit- erary accomplishment in Manitoba ary accomplishment in Manitoba from the early days of the fur trader, hunter and trapper, to the nt was interestingly related by A. 8. Morrison in a recent lec- ture before the- Manitoba Histori- cal Society here. The carliest literary effort in the province was chiefly descriptive of the native residents, of natura conditions prevailing and of the fur traders of the day. Then aft- er 1870, the chardcter of literature changed with bodks of the day tell ing of the greatness of the west and descriptive of the incoming immigrants. Later, the days of re- bellion, led to the writing of auto. biography and history. Included among the early day writers mentioned by Mr. Morrison were Alexander Ross, Milton Chlel, Alexander Begg, Dr. George Bryce, Governor Morris, and Rev. R Sutherland, the latter writing chiefly travel books. Dr. Charles M. Bell, a charter member of tha Manitoba Historical Society, and still active in its work today, aleo was mentioned. No novels were written in the first 30 years of the settlement of Manitoba, said Mr. Morrison. Then came a long and distinguished company which included Dr. C. W. Gordon, Agnes Laut, Robert Stead, Robert Watson, F. P. Groves, L. Ingersoll , Martha Ostenso, Dr, McGillivray, Constance Sweatman, W. J. Healy, Nellle McClung and J. Dafoe, Manitoba had not been produc. tive of much poetry, eontinued Mr. Morrison. but, he added, the prov. ince was quite capable of inspiring great poetry. A beginning had al- ready been made by such as Ro- bert Stead, Prof, W. T. Allison, E. L. Thompson, Mrs. Florence Ran- dal Livesay, C. Lloyd, E. J, Thom. as and Prof, Kirkconnell, 4,000 Students Riot Madrid, Jan, 22--Four thousand students of the National University went on strike amid riotous scencs The students, refusing to attend their classse, ejected some of their professors from class rooms and broke some doors and windows.
