Never, perhaps, have the roads been so bad in and about the town of Orillia. This is, no doubt, owing to the great rains of last year. The! ground became thoroughly soaked1 with water to unusual depth. Con-1 sequently when the frost left the surface there was no support for the thin coating of gravel which broke up and sank into the soft substruc- ture. In ordinary years the ground absorbs the water caused by the melting snow, but the soil was so wet, this spring that. it could con- absorbs the water caused by the melting snow. but, the soil was so wet, this spring that. it could con- tain no more.

Our roads and streets have no bottom, and so cannot stand rainy season or heavy loads. In times 01 trial it is the firm base that counts. A waggon stuck on one of our main street: was a sight of this week. Every struggle to tree it caused it to sink deeper. With fore.h wheels en a hard ridge in the centre and the hind wheels sinking deeper and' deeper into the mud, it was imâ€" possible to get it out.

ENGLISH AND AMERICANS ARE INVADING CANADA w. Barr announces that four thousand additional English settlers will come out by September, and probably ten thousand next your. N0 DANGER Canadians will not be alarmed by either movement. Let them come. The great vacant spaces of the-west invite population. The land does not care who tills it. nor the wheat who reaps it. Let the people come from the United States and irom Great Britain. and when they are settled down and have houses and barns and waving- flelds of grain. the: hope and expectation of the Cans-i dian will be that they will not raise their conflicting national slogans. "Canada (or the British” and “Ca- nada for the Americans," but will be stirred to new ideas by new sur- Toundings. and will of one accord adopt a new ‘slogan altogether, "Canada for Canadians." Canada believes, with the line hopei'ulness of youth, that the people will become good Canadains almost before they Know it. The Americans and Eng- lish will find that in Canada they are living under the flag of a monarchy hand the conditions of a republic, and 1while the Englishman is growing ac- customed to the conditions. the American can grow accustomed to the flag. - All the influences of nature and all the considerations at self- interest will combine to cause them to show an early and complete ac- quiescence in the situation in which they are placed. Canada is not in the least nervous about the rival streams of invasion that are pouring in. The hostility is fancied and not real.

Sailing from England are 2,100 English settlers for the Canadian West. who carry with them all their household treasures and $2,500,000 with which to make a. start in the new world. Mr. Barr, their leader, as he stood on the deck of the ship, exclaimed that their watohword was "Canada. {or the British." In the Casinopolitnn Magazine for April is an article by William R. Stewart entitled “The Americaniznâ€" tion of the Canadian Northwest” He says the Americans have entered the Northwest in the past two year: to the number of sixty thousand, and that since 1890 there has grown up in our west. 3 population of 135,- urn-cum: a nu?

What the tendon Spectator Does not Know About an America Matter For Canadians who know the real sort of the commissioners appointed by Pres. Roosevelt to the Alaska boundary board, the following effu- sion of the London Spectator, will furnish an example of what the best English newspapers know about af- lnira aflecting Canada’s interest: The names of the American com- missioners under the new Alaskan Treaty were published this week. They are Mr. Root, Senator Lodge. and Senator Turner. Mr. Root is unquestionably one of the ablest man alive to-day in the Anglo-Sax- on world of politics. As secretary for wu- and the colonies, he has had talk- of extraordinary difficulty to perform; but he has handled every problem with the touch of 8. states- man. Senator Lodge is also a man of great weight and influence, and he adds to his wide political experience no little literary ability. He is a. worthy representative of the best traditions of the senate, a delibera- tive body. which for the direct po- wers its exercises has no fellow in the world. Senator Turner is less well known. at any rate on this side of the Atlantice; but we may be sure that the president's choice has been.wisely exercised. for Mr. Roose- velt does not choose inferior men. It is to be hoped that our represen- tatives wil not be only men of equal intellectual powers, but also of equal standing before the nation. Canadian Pacific Special Made That Time In Record-Bruno: Run Between Toronto and Detzoit Twice in the week before last the Canadian Pacific Railway beat the running record between Toronto and Windsor. The special train that conveyed the Kindergarten teachers of Detroit to Toronto and back again accomplished this in both directions. Not content with havâ€" ing made the run cast two days be- fore in the record time of four hours and nine minutes, actual running time for the 228 miles, the Kinder- garten Special beat even its own re- cord on the return trip on Saturday inflernoon by making the 228â€"mile ‘run between Toronto and Windsor in four hours and three minutes.
