It has been announced that the pulp wood companies, securing concessions from the Ontario government, have not spent a dollar on the develop ment of their business. What a mis leading statement ! The Sault Ste. Marie company, in which Mr. Clergue is interested, has its mechanical mill in operation, and its chemical mill, an institution of great size, is mow being constructed. The Sturgeon Falls Company has been hindered in its work by an ex pensive litigation with the Loyd com- pany. In October it received an award in its favour, and at once the com tracts were let for the paper mills. The Spanish River Company has had about 250 men employed upon its territory, and it 'has expended $00, 000 on buildings, $120,000 on ma chinery and $150,000 on buildings, canal, and equipment. The one hund- red ton a day mill will be in opera tion next summer. ~ The Nepigon Company had séme difficulty in getting the water power it wanted, but it found this 'eventu- ally at Cameron's Pool, on the Nepi- gon River, and at once secured a lease of it. Plans were then prepared for the buildings, and the erection of these is being proceeded with. The Keewatin company spent $30, 000 on the development of its water power in the Winnipeg river. It has concluded that it cannot compete with the companies in the east, but it is going on with its mills, and will cul tivate the trade of New Zealand, Aus- tralia and Japan. "fhe Blanche River Company located on Les Erables Rapids, Ottawa river, near to Maitawa, but the power was on the inter-provincial boundary line, and thy company has had to secure an extension of time in which to nego- tiate for privileges from the Quebec government. Pulp mills are expensive things, and cannot be run up in a day. But the point is that a use is being made of all the concessions which have been granted by the Ontario legislature, and instead of four and a half millions of money being spent by the com: panies, in their operations, according to agreement, the amount will be, eventually, several times thats There may be an export duty on pulp wood and pulp so that the de mand for supplies in Canada will tend to the development of the pulp busi- ness to an enormous extent, and for- eign capital will be added to the cap- ital available here for its expansion. MANITOBA'S LIQUOR ACT. The end, for the present, has been heard of the Manitoba Liquor Act, the people, through the referendum. having indicated that they do not want it enforced. The majority against the measure is véry large. Varions things eontributed to this condition. Travel was bad generally, in consequence of the recent snow: storm and the floods. The rural vote was very small. Circumstances oper: ated against the registration of it. The vote in the cities and towns and villages was fairly full, and generally adverse, because the government "wp- posed the act with all the vigour it could command, because it was de- clared to be incomplete and non-pro- hibitive. Mr. Roblin, the premier, said of it: "It is no prohibition act what: ever. It is simply a bil providing for free whiskey, liquor without any con- trol by the government, which any man in the province can get at any hour and in all quantities he de- sires." That kind of talk proceeding from the premier had ite effect, how- ever inconsistent it was for him, for he was in the government which pro- jected and passed the act, and which had it confirnted by the Privy Coun- cil, Not until the people werd nsked to vote upon the enforcement of it were Shey. uid that it was no good, and with that of Mr. proceeding then stands out in THE it was calculated to disturb and dis- honour trade. Free whiskey would mean a loss of revenue, of control, of respect for law. And the great wajor ity which was rolled up against the act there shows how effective was the appeal. * The result demonstrates the fact that the feelings of the people om any one question cannot be measur in a general election. The prohibi- tionists claimed that a victory had been scored when Mr. Macdonald was given office. The prohibitionists, uw doubteply voted with the conserva tives in that election. Put the people did not decide on the issue and now that they do this prohibition is given a serious set back. This experience confirms the wisdom of Hon. Mr. Rows in declining to make prohibition an issue in the general election, and in setting apart a date when the people will vote upon it specially. EDITORIAL NOTES, Cogl will be down at the mines 0c. a ton all this month. Will be down correspondingly bere and elsewhere ? Is the result of the vote in Mani toba on the liquor bill an indication of what will happen in Ontario, in connection with its referendum, later on? -- Come, Mr. Spectator, be honest. The polities of the offending contractor should not debar his prosecution. The conservatives are controlling the coun cil. What are they afraid of ? ro---- The education department is work- ing upon a scheme of consolidating the model schools and extending the academic year. A good idea. The model school as it stands if defective in many respects. The Roblin government is now threatened with defeat in the next election. That will probably come to pass without regard to prohibition. Meanwhile the ministers appear to he enjoying the sweets of office.

Adam Gourlay, manager of the To- ronto coal cgmpany, died yesterday of blood poisoning. Ten days ago, while Mr. Gourlay was on his way home fromy a trip to Florida, 5 heavy valise fell on his right foot, badly crushing it.

He was thirty-seven years old and leaves a widow and two little daughters.

They 'are being made in Ger- many now and are said to have many advantages o.er metal and enamel, the principal one being that they are much cheaper Besides bathtubs, tanks and vats such as are used by brewers, distillers and sugar refiners gre being made of glass, acd the manufacturer is con fident that he can replace those for which clay, wood, cement and metal are now commonly used, with super ior articles constructed at a lower cost. Glass bathtubs are not fragile Those being made now are five feet six inches ns, al owt two feet wide, and about two and a half inches thick. They are made in a solid piece ond one can be made complete in avout five minutes. This is owing to a new process . of blowing glassware by means of com pressed air. The process was invent- ed in Pittsburg about twenty years ago, but was limited to making bot tles and similar small sized articles. Paul Sievert, of Dresden, has 'm- proved it, and under his process there need be no limit, within reason, to the size of the article made. The method is simplicity itself. The molten glass i= taken from the fur pace and placed in a mold, which can readily be swing to any desired position. Compressed air is thus admitted through a flexible tube which connects with the bottom of the mold. The air pressure is regulated hy valves: As soon as the article is finished it is switched into an annealing cham- ber, where it is again heated gnd then allowed 10 cool, This toughens it, and after the process it is ready for use, Mates of large size are being made of glass hy an adaptation of the same process. In this)case an orna- mental design is first made on a sheet * of peculiar composition, which remains moist for some time. Colored glass is spread over this to work out the design. Then the sheet is placed on the glass plate and the whole is heated in the oven. The heat consumes the sheet on which the design was made, leaving only the layer of colored glass, 'weld. ed into the plate. Some remarkable and very picturesque effects are made in this way.
