Nature has provided access to Northern British Columbia by a tide- water inlet clear through Alaska. The Alaska Boundary Tribund}, twenty two years ago, rightly or wrongly, denied Canada a harbor in that part of the world but Nature has now made it possible. The new in- let, it is stated, is the result of the rapid recession of a giant glacier, makes possible a new all-Canadian route into the Yukon, gives the Brit- ish Empire a new northern outlet to the sea, and cuts the Panhandle of Alaska in two. The Pacific Province is taking ac- tion to comserve its important pros- pective asset. With a view to pos- sible port development at the head of the inlet, it has reserved all lands lying around the water. For the moment the new channel | is sur- hohe Mrinh Whis! rounded by ice flelds, but the de- | velopment of the mining areas of the | Yukon 'and the expansion of North- ern settlement are deemed likely to bring about the utilization of its possibilities. The Toronto Globe in speaking of the new possible port recalls history. It says that when the Alaskan bound- ary award was made in 1903 there was deep disappointment and chagrin throughout the Dominion. It was openly charged that the British jurist responsible for the majority and Semi-weekly by WHIG PUBLISHING KINGSTON, ONT. « Calder, 22 St. John Powers, Ine, 19 Street. to the Editor are published over the actual mame of the + The city solicitor in Windsor is to be asked to answer this question: the Board of Education build and charge the cost direct the taxes collected each year, even though the people reject proposed If the city solicitor answers afiirm- E atively then the law should be speed- Aly amended.

But politicians and jurists did not reckon on powers which make puny mere man's decrees. In twenty years, it'is recorded, the great glac- fer of ice has travelled some ninety miles. Experts are of opinion that when it reached a certain point' it suddenly broke up, created the new channel, and was swept out to sea. Salt water immediately rushed in and formed an ocean bay. The remarkable story told by the Wires--the bestowal by Nature of a boon denied by man---reads like ro- mance. But it is announced that the British Columbia Government pro- Doses to investigate the seaport pos- sibilities of the channel early next year, when the summer weather makes Northern travel possible.

Last year she took $13,519,043 worth of that metal out" 6f her mines in Ontario. It is confidently expected that pro- duction will steadily increase. The heyday of Cobalt, with all its specu- lative features, has settled down into methodical work, and we have grown to accept as commonplace figure® The producti f gold is growing most encouragingly. Last year the mines of Northern Ontario turned ont $25,860,327 worth of the prec- fous metal. In 1914 the amount was $5,854,837; so that considerable growth has occurred during the past decade. The total amount of gold mined in that district since 1910 been $150,544,459, on which divi. dends of $42,509,201 have been paid. The future glows with promisd for that entire northern country, and expert opinion looks upon the min- ing industry as-but fairly begun. The total value of silver recovered in Northern Ontario still runs ahead of that of gold. The amount down the end of 1924 was $219,532. 8, on which dividends of $91,288, - paid.

Home Censorship. Montreal Star: Good books, in- spiring poems, clean stories, sweet music, are all elevating and within the reach of most parents.

It should be possible to ex- ercise 8s much care to quarantine the mind against the contagion of immortality, as to ward off infectious diseases from the body. || LETTERS And the worst of it isi Use of Union Jack. Kingston, Aug. 26.--(To the Edi- tor): In your issue of the 25th, un- der the heading, "Looking Around," the following paragraph appears: "Organizations which pass resolu- tions declaring that only the Union Jack should be Canada's flag should at least be consistent and not hang out an ensign like the one it was suggested should be that of Can- ada." As this organization seems to be the only one which flies the Cana- dian ensign every day, it would ap- pear that these remarks are directed towards this association. If the gentleman responsible for this paragraph will take the trouble to look up the regulations applying to: the flying of the United Jack he will find that government buildings only are permitted to fly the Union Jack every day. The inconsistency our friend complains of is evidently due to his ynfamiliarity with regu- lations governing the flying of the Union Jack.

But it is a new stunt to try and injure a road grader. Wolfe Islanders evidently like to tackle big things. The price and not the strength of beer is now worrying Premier Fer- guson and Attorney-General Nickle. According to the beer drinkers, it is necessary to lower the price as well as increase the strength. Nagging mothers and thrashing fathers are blamed by a New Tork State judge for making many bad boys. On the other hand there is the other kind of mother who will never believe that her Willie would do anything wrong. Again we hear talk of the prob- ability of re-opening the Wolfe Is- land canal. It is doubtful if the is- land mond will ever see boats sailing throdgh it again, for the cost of dredging and building walls would be too great. There would not be enough business to make it worth while, much as we would like to see the canal again in operation. A bull in Buenos Aires brought oyer $60,000 this week. Quite a dif- ference between that South Ameri- can bull and the Loughboro town- ship one that was shot the other day and was valued at the sum of $30.
