For a long time past the state of af- fairs in Russia has been steadily grow- ing worse; and news of strikes in vari- ous industries and sanguiuary collisions between the soldiery and the people in various parts of the vast empire have come so frequently that the outbreak of a general revolution in the near future was considered not only possible, but probable. The reason of it all simply is that the oppresscd masses, less ignor- ant of conditions in other countries than they used to be, are rising in their ’ might and demanding concessions and privileges that the ruling classes have hitherto refused to grant. but which it is quite evident can no longer be with- Monday's Globe said: “ If Russia emerges from her present condition of chaos without passing through the horrors of revolution it will be because of the strength of one man, and he is a man of the people. Sergius Witte is (0-day the hope of Russia. The Grand Ducal cabal has been un- able to prevent his elevation to the po- sition of Premier of the first Russian Cabinet, :1 position offered to him by the Czar last week. Witte has not yet publicly announced his acceptance of office, and today's despatches indicate that a trial of strength is in procress between Absolutism, as represented by Nicholas Second, and Nationalism, as represented by Wilts.” A day later a despatch sent from St. Petersburg on Monday evening said : “ To~night the autocrucy of the Rom- anofi‘s and the old order of things cease to exist in Russia. Emperor Nicholas has surrendered, and Count Witte comes into power as Minister-President, with an Imperial mandate which will ’cnable him. to convert the farcical Na- tional Assembly into a real legislative body, elected by greatly extended suf- frage, and to confer upon the people fundamental civil liberties.” If this be trueâ€"and we see no reason to doubt itâ€"thcrc isarift in the cloud, ,and, with the promise of better social conditions, the millions of malcontents in Russia will probably agree to post- pone the revolution they appear to be bent upon inaugurating. But it is 3quite certain that they will no longer submit to the tyranny under which-they have groaned in. past egos. The Czar says. that, in accepting Count Wittc's *programme, he has " efl‘aced ” himself; but if he hadn’t yielded. he would have been effaccd by the people, together. probably, with all the royalty and nobility of the empire. A still later despaloh says that the surrender of the Czar and the autocracy lution that is overflowing Russia. that the masses refuse to parley with their oppressors, and that the situation is worse than ever. The item no... ctr-Refine. The Evening Post of Saturday gives ,a full-page account of the new House of its formal opening on the 25th uvlt. It is thus described : “ The building, which is designed to accommodate seventy-fine inmates, is three stories high, and a most imposing structure, built trimmings, and pitch roof covered with slate. The entrance to the building is marked by a handsome porch, through ,which the main floor is reached by a few wide steps. On. entering. one is struck by the well-lighted, wide hnlL ways and easy staircases leading to the upper flats. The central or entrance hall is separated from the rest of the building by two- solid brick fire walls, extending from the ground floor to the roof, and all openings in these walls are protected with fire doors, so providing protection from fire that either the north, south or centre wing could be destroyed without affecting the other wing. In the floors and stairs selected birch and maple ere used,and the wain- scoting in the entire building is of Keene cement, which is used in order come soiled at any time. No reason- able expense has been spared to make :the new institution the most home-like and up-to-dato public building of Its kind in the province, and undoubtedly 1 that end has been accomplished. The inmates are located on the left of the building. and the female on the right.” The House is located on a ’IO-ncre lot, splendidly situated near the south- ern boundary of Lindsay; and the land, formed in the most up-to-date and scientific manner. The total cost of the land, the buildings and everything con- nected therewith is estimated at 847,- 250.00, but as the money has been comes too late toystcm the tide of rcvc- I Refuge and the proceedings attending , or buck’ “uh “one ’like the hardwood’, left to- rot on the ground, could also be profitably mar- With the land cleared, as it. that it may be washed off should it be- , building is so designed that the mule 2 central hall on each fiat throughout the i which is a deep fertile loam, is to be . judiciously and economically expended, and the need of a House of Refuge has been felt for many years, we don’t sup- pose anybody will grumble at the ex- penditure. The Post’s article gives two admirable views of the building, and excellent portraits of Mr. A.E.Stabnck, the present warden of the county; Mr. J. R. .llcN-eillie, county clerk and treas urer; Mr. James Graham. chairman of building committee and board of man- aging committee; and Mr. Wm. Chan non, who was warden in 1904. All” these gentlemen have been warm advo- cates of, and active workers for, the magnificent building which now opens its hospitable doors to the poor and aged of the county, and is said to be the finest institution of its kind in the province. . __..___..._~~. - .â€" Navlgation of Gull River. The Oshawa. Reformer says: We notice by the Lindsay Post that, as the result of a discussion with Mr. Emmer- son, Minister of Railways and Canals, who was recently prevailed upon to visit the inland waters north of that town. Mr. Walsh has commenced a survey of tho Gull River waters, with a view to estimating the value of improvements which would make them navigable. Years ago we \vcrc better acquainted with the lay of the land and water rc- fcrred to than we are today. and have often thought it singular that so little interest was being mnnife~tcd by the people of Lindsay, and the municipali- ties north of it, in having these waters and the adjacent lands opened up for navigation and development. 'l‘heir value at present is an unknown quantity, of course, nor can any adequate concep- tion be made of it from the present viewpoint, but that the result would well warrant the outlay is no longer, if it ever was, a question of doubt. If we are not mistaken in the situa- tion, it would be well to raise the Cobooonk dam two or three feet. Put ting in a look there would give connec tion with Little Mudturtle and Big- Mudturtle lakes via the Gull,River to Norlnnd. Alock at Nor-land and an- cther’et Elliott’s Falls would afford navigation to Minden, where with some dredging a large natural gully could be utilized to obtain connections with Mountain Lake, from the Gull River above Mindcn; and by cutting a “ hog’s back" betw'ccu Mountain and Twelve , Mile Lakes, an eighteen milc stretch of 'watcr would give connection above \linden as far as Boshkung Lake. The latter is a central basin for several streams, to the west of which are Kush. get: and; Senora mikes. These reach to within eight miles of Dorset. A boat running on Boshkung and another on Kushog Lakes would give through cou- nec-tion. by water-front M‘uskoka to the 'l'o-wor lakes. , To. the north of Boshkung maybe found Hall’s Lakc, stretching up into the Redstone district. 3said to be 7.00 feet deep, and is famous gsplendid sal-‘mon trout. To the east of ‘ B’oshkung is Beech River, Beech, Maple, Pine and Cedar Lakes. on Beech River. would open. to. naviga- ftion: alli thcsolakes,whosc shores abound Tin. hard’wocd’ timber of all kinds, and floated to market now, but with the floated! to- market on sccws, and there git. Immense quantities-cf tanberk. now, keted. soon might be, this whole northern sec tion would. feat become a ranching ‘di'vi'si’cn, of immense advantage and value for hog feeding and. sheep raising. From the tourist standpoint the pros- poet is very bright; the lakes are beau- tiful and much of the land fruitful. Anyone who visits the district referred to comes back fully enthused with its appearance and value. It has been suggested that the location be celled “Tho Canadian Killorncy," and the name is quite appropriate. w Personals. Mr. William Sendford is home from Manitoba. Mr. Harry Chambers was in.

Mr.Jamns Rob- ertson, who bought Mr. C. Curtis's business a short time ago, took posses- sion on Tuesday last, and asks tor a fair share of public patronage. His line will be groceries, boots and shoes, dry goods, bread and flour and feed, and considerable additions will be made to the stock of goods in the store. Call and give him a trial. GONE liUNTINGrâ€"Ol] Monday morn. ing Messrs. George Wilson, M. H. Mc~ Callum, John Jones, David Merriam, Freeman Aldous, George Ellis and Joe- eph Ouelctto, accompanied by M. Bur- ley as cook, left for Bass Lake, about 22 miles north of Kiumount, in pursuit of deer. They are said to have taken nearly two dozou dogs with them, but we can’t help suspecting that this is a slight exaggeration. A party of nine- teen hunters, with a whole pack of hounds, passed through the Falls on the some day. DISCOURAGING TO THE BOY8.-â€"-'l‘hc boys turned out, as usual, on Hallow E'en, with the intention or doing all sorts of things, but they were somewhat discouraged when they found that the council had hired half a dozen nocturnal constables to parade the streets,and that a sentinel had mounted guard at each of the school-houses. But, in spite of these: precautions, the boys managed to. do a few mischievous deeds and escape un- caught ; and the fact that the authori- ‘itics considered them of sufiicicnt im- portance to levy an army against them; up doubt afforded them much satisfac- two. A Pnnsonnes Pawnâ€"On Mon- day night Rev. H. B. Kenny entertain- ed forty-five young men, members of hm congregation, at the Methodist par: ,sonege,, where they had or good’ time from 8 o'clock until 11. Various games were played, there was plenty of excel- lent music, cnd a repest that was mod... estly called a “ lunch,” but which really, _‘ : deserved the name of “supper..’” Tho‘ party was a very pleasant one, and all present enjoyed it thoroughly; but if we had been one of those gay young bachelors we should have thought that a slight infusion of girls would have: been a decided improvement.
