The Preui:er responded that it wuuid be, lo all inieats and purposes, a public amelter. The member fur Algoina had for years urged the ne- cessity for a bouua toward such an enterprise, ui :i would be a great bourn tu the small minors of the dis- trict. Mr. Whitney point d out that, ac- cording to the bill, the company was entitled to lands other than thuse along the I::ie of route. Tha Premier replied that the reason for this was tbat ths Crowu did not possess enough lands alunu thr line of route to eutircly fill its i-oli- gution. TAXES UPON YOUNG MEN'.

Marie Company for 5,000 tons of steel rails fox the Intercolonial. "We had," he explained, "a proposition f; .m them to put in a tteel rail plant to m ID-I- facluro these rails in Csnada. They satisfied as of their ability to do this work, and that they would b* cipable of establishing a very effi- cient rail manufacturing plant. They had oree, of a superior quality, ana tha steel made frum them would con- tain a percentage of nickel, whict would be found in tnc raiU thia com- pany proposed to mao for us. Thi* while it did not fori'i an element in the price, would add materially U the durability of the rail. The es- tablisbmeat of this industry was con- ticgent upon their securing from thi Government a fair order, and an or- der for a sufficient quantity lo guar- antee them that they would have em, ployment for their plant as a basil from which lo invite and encourage the introduction of capita; for that purpose."
