Possibly the most disgusting specta- cle that has ever-disgraced the public life of Canada, is that now being enâ€" acted at Ottawa in the dissipation of the people’s money to railway promo- ters. The Government is giving Mac- kenzie and Mann 9. straight cash gift of $5,000,000, and in return is getting some "common stock of the Canadian; of the face value ofi $7,000,000; but whether it is worth. Northern Railway anything or not nobody knows. But, as a matter of fact, this $15,000,000 is given to these two enterprizing rail- way promoters without taking in‘re- turn the slightest control over the ex- penditure of this money or over the rates to be charged by theCanadian Northern Railway, nor is there any excuse that any reasonable man can see why this money should be given to Mackenzie, and Mann. _They have been wallowing in the provincial and federal treasury for many years, and have built their entire system upon land grants, cash subsidies and public credit. It is commonly believed, and has never been denied, that the money given to the Canadian Northern Rail- way is juggled by Messrs. Mackenzie and Mann, so that they have becbme millionaires, while the rrilway compa- ny itself has been starved. It is gen- erally believed thatafter these gentle- men make u. raid on the treasury they let contracts for the' construction of the roads to themselves as a. construc- tion cpmpany, at a figure about double the actual cost. By‘ this means these two gentlcmcn' of churse become very rich, while-the railway company be- comes very poor. At any rate, those iuces for- a few, years. know that the Canadian Northern Railway system has been a huge jukc,.and that many a of their lines have been called railâ€" ways out of ecurtcsy. And yet Sir = Mann are not very much to blame for the situation preVailiug. If our pro- vincial, and" federal governments are to be composed of spineless individu- als lacking in moral fibre, with little or no desire to protect the public, then it' is difiicult to blame financial free- booters for‘making the best of their ,0.ppmtu-nity. Premier Borden, in his two short years has earned for himself a most unenviable reputation. Last year he gave Mackenzie and Mann $6,300,000 as a cash donation, asking absolutely nothing in return. This year- he is giving. them $151,640,000, or "a total of $21,940,000. in two years. Premier Borden is the man who must .carry the' responsibility for this dis- graceful dissipation of- public monies. Not in the history of present day nan ‘ tions, civilized or uncivilized, nor even in the civilizations of the past, when autocrats ruled throughout the. world, lwas there ever such a disgwceful transaction. The general public have good reason to- believe that Mr. Bor- den is very largely under the thumb of Mackenzie, and Mann, else why should he permit them to. take $22,- 000,000 out of the treasury and give nothing in return? The people of Canada. have been robbed of just that shameful action of Mr. Borden. What an inspiring sight for the boyhood of our nation just now verging into man- : hood and responsibin of citizenship. : 1 amount, but it has been legalized by the l l l " l Debate on Trent Canalâ€"Will Champlain tatué ba'Erected at Fenelon Falls? In the debate on the Trent Valley Canal appropriation in the House of Commons on May 29th it was mentioned by Mr. Lemicux that the Government is to ezect a statue to Champlain at Fenc- 1101'! Falls. Local Conservatives when l interviewed knew uothihg about the ‘ matter. and so far the Gazette has not 1) en able to ascertain anything: definite. If we remember correctly. Orillin p.11 8 as some time ago spokecf tho stal uc living erected in thatft‘own. Founlon Ells hmvevur, would beinagood location for it, and several appmpriato sit-s are who have lived in the Pi'airic'Pl'ov-. William Mackenzie and Sir Donald, the debate : MR. BENNETT: I would advise hon. gentlemen on the other side to taken. trip over the TrentValley water system. When it is opened into Georgian Bay, as it will be under the present Adminis- tration, there will be a capacity in the large elevators at Port McNicoll and Midland of nearly10.000,000 bushels. It is contended that as the old Erie canal succeeded in carrying grain in burch with a capacityâ€"of only 7,000 bushels, in1 barges with this canal carrying over 15,000 bushels, a large trade can be done from Port McNichol to Montreal. If the grain is not carried by those burch to Morrtronl, tho canal will at least have the cfféct of keeping down the rates on the Canndinul’ucillc railway and the Grand Trunk railway from those two points. lundcrstand that the minister's policy is to make the canal eight feet over the locks on all the new work. The old work is six feet, but that can be deepened at a compm‘ativcly low cost. lf‘you lind a waterway through Lake Simcoe and through the large lakes and rivers in that district, you could have barges carrying 20,000 bushels of grain. You would be in a position that the grain‘trade of Lake Ontario was in twenty years ago. I can recall when the American grain which came from ‘Chicago and Fort William for transit to the Old Country, and for distribution in Canada and United States, was carried in schooncrs conluining only about 20,000 bushels. We will have here a waterway with an eight-foot base. and barges that will carry 20,000 bushels of grain. It is to be regretted that the general public take no cognizance of the extent and capacity - of these waterways. Take Lake Simcoc, which is from fifteen to twenty miles wide, and the lakes below Peterhorough, a number of which are quite large lakes. It is true there are points "where there are canal connec- tions, but there you have a series of large lakes. Historically speaking, I may point out that Governor Simcoo had a survey made of this area compris- ing these waterways over one hundred years ago. saw what is happening to-duy and what .is likely to happen in the near future when this series of waterways will be connected with Lake Ontario and Licor- gian Bay. MR. LEMIEUX: I may point out that long before Simcoc, Champlain went up the Trent Valley and predicted that one day the great lakes would be connected. That is why the Government are erect- inglla statute to Champlain at Fenelon a 3. MR. BENNETT (East Simcoe): I do not believe that large quantities of grain will be carried over that system, becauso transportation will be slower than by rail, but 1 think it will have the effect of bringing the railway companies to time, and that it will force them to give better rates than exist at the present time. I haVe no apology to offer for the Trent canal system as a tourist route. 1f, when it is finished, it becomes the greatest tourist system on the continent, it will be well worth the money spent upon it. We all know the Muskoka Lakes. The Grand Trunk will tell you that every year they pass over the (looks at Grav- enhurst over 50,000 tourists. Think of what that means for this country 1 Once completed through to the Georgian Bay the canal will provide a waterway for gasoline yachts and, the locks being 130 feet in length, a person will be able to leave New York city in a yacht 130 feet long, drawing not more than six feet of water, because a great many of these yachts are propelled by gasoline, come up to lake Champlain, get into the St. Lawrence at Sorel, pass by the Trent, clear through to the Georgian Bay and on to the Sault, returning by way of the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers and the Welland Canal. 1 think that in fairness to the Trent Valley canal every member ,of this House should take a trip to Peterborough and on up from there. He will not only be impressed by the beauty of the route, but he will realise the wonderful opportunities there are for building up an enormous tourist trade. {uncricans have gone to those lakes back of Porterborough and have built rosi- denccs Costing $7.00.) or $8,000. 'It is going to be a great tourist country, and if we can, by completing this work, attract from New York and all over the world, hundreds and thousands of people, the country will be well repaid, for the effort and the outlay, Mr. Wm.

Davis A past two o'clock. were sitting in the house when Mr. Davis noticed smoke blowing down, and went outside to investigate. He [bond the smoke coming thickly through the roof near the chimney, and at once got some water, but when he opened the trap-door,in the ceiling to go up the flames burst through the roof and he could do nothing to check the fire. The whole building was soon in ashes, with nearly all its contents, an organ and a few other articles being all that was saved. The insurance was $350 on the house and $290 on the contents in the Farmers’ Mutual. had recently been added, and was uu~ insured. The fire is supposed to have originated in some way from 'a spark from the fire used to cook the breakfast in the morning, and must have smould cred from that time until the time it broke out. .9.

Hopkins refuses, but after he has reach- ed the Amberlcy residence and Miss Amberley and her friends have seen him, Lord ’l‘hirlmcre succeeds in per- suading the footman to hire his position. The ladies hear of burglaries in tho. neighborhood. and noticing differences between Hopkins and Lord '1‘hirlmero, and' having their suspicions confirmed by the timorous butler, Spiggot, tako Lord Thirlmere for a. burglar. Lord ’l‘hirlmere “catches on,” and relieves Miss Amberloy of the coveted ring in :1 very gentlomauly manner. Shortly after- wards, however, he restores tne ring, explains matters, and they all live hop- pin ever after, The play is full of very arousing situations, which were well brought out. The orchestra added mu< teriully to the evening's enjoyment. v-.. Fenelon Falls Council. 9 At a special'mecting of the Council on May 19th, F.
