an amendment to the bcott act when anked to do so by the avxw bat there is an amendment much needed kot only the scott act but tlie crooks act ihouldb amended to provide that the illegal par- chaser of lienor as well as the illegal seller shall be fined such a law prevails hi england where it operation is most sl d tan- the crime or offence is a mutual one and the man who tempts the saloon keeper to violate the law is morally as guilty as the man who sells the liquor temperance people should insist upon this amendment being made to- both acts- hamilton tribune preserving our forests the report on the necessity of preserving and replautiug forests contpiled at the instance of the government of ontario ry hi r t fhipps toronto is one of more than ordinary interest the object of the government has been to circulate the in formation procurable in so popular a form as to ensure its being generally read and thereby to enlist the understanding and sympathies of all in the valuable work contemplated that of preserving such portions of forest as are necessary for our future supplies of timber and for that still more important result which the mainten ance of forests secures the great climatic and agricultural benefit derived from regu lar supplies of moisture whether in river spring or rainfall seldom is a government report upon a practical subject prepared in so interesting and readable a manner as the author has succeeded in making the one in question the endless tables of statistics usually presented in a work of this nature here give place to practical conclusions written in a style which shows that personal experience was not an absent feature with the gentle man whose duty it was to prepare the report the reckless destruction of the valuable timber resources of the country by the axe and fire are referred to by the author who draws largely upon his personal experi ences in the backwoods the effects of this disregard of future necessities and the requirements of the soil is seen on every hand in the drying np of streams and the very frequent periods of drought which prevail during most summers mr fhipps also describes the function of the forest in preserving and circulating moisture a very interesting feature of the work is a map of the province by counties showing the prop of wood land still remaining in each which explains very clearly the extent to which the work of destruction has proceeded in the older settled portions of this country the report is a valuable addition to the growing subject of forestry and should have widespread circulation we would gladly quote the most interest ing sections of the report but our limited space forbids it and a personal perusal of the whole work will be of more value to those interested than any condensed selec tions we might make -iiyb- rll iffffr 4 ajfrjtfrf tr t tmgptvw ivtet milt of bu halton election trial both the petition and grow petition withdrawn the contested election petition for the county of halton was fixed for monday last the hon judges patterson and ferguson arrived and tbe court was duly opeued at 030 a ra when there appeared as counsel for the petitioner mr david robertson mr 8 h blake q c toron to and mr john dewr of milton for the respondent mr wra kerns mr dal- ton mccarthy q c of toronto and mr wm laidlaw of hamilton mr blake stated to their lordships out in this instance there was a cross- petition as well as a petition the petition sought to disqualify the sitting member and tbe crosspetition aimed at disqualifying the- unsuccessiul candidate the petitioner had taken the opportunity of examining the respondent and the sitting member had responded by ex mining the petitioner the various charges that had been made had been carefully gone over and the con- elation that the counsel and solicitor for the petitioner had arrived at was that no charge could be brought directly bora to the respondent so far as the other charg- j 63 were concerned although it was alleged that twenty or lwenlynve cases could be proved they were isolated in some of them agency would be established and in others not the majority was as large as 140 and therefore the result of the trial of the petition would not affect the election on that being ascertained and the counsel and solicitor on the other side having arriv ed at the same conclusion it had beeu agreed by all parties subject- to any order that their lordships might make that the petition and crosspetition be dismissed each party paying their own costs mr mccarthy said that on behalf of tbe respondent he aoceeded to the proposition the crosspetition had simply been filled as a measure of sell defence and under the circumstances there was no object to be gained by prosecuting it his lordship judge patterson said that i tbe petitioner and respondent having come to that conclusion after examination of both he supposed it was now open for any elector to go on with either contest if be thought proper no one appearing inclined to shoulder either petition his xordship intimated that in consequence of what had just been stated the court had noted that no evidence having been offered in support of the petition or cross- petition both were dismissed with costs mr mccarthy requested their lordships to make an order to have the deposits re funded mr blake consented and the order was made the whole
