It is signiâ€" ficant that the total population of the Province shows an actual deâ€" crease during.the decade, although the value of agricultural products, notably is feed grains and in live stock and dairy products, shows a iarge increase. The immense possiâ€" bilities for further agricultural deâ€" velopment in the Province is shown by the fact that, exclusive of the 11}1,000,000 acres of the new district of Patricia, only 1514 per cent. of the total land area of the Province, or 21,933,700 acres out of 160,951,â€" 638, is occupied for agricultural purposes P Mn msescnr The rural population of the Proâ€" vince at the date of the consus was 1,194,795, a decrease of 52,184 durâ€" ing the decade, and of 100,538 since 1891. 5firing the ter years from 1901 to 1911 the area of occupied land increased 3y 2.73 per cent., while CENTRES OF AMERICA.

Three terrific detonations were heard about the same time, and out of a clear sky a violent tempest broke over Benavites and Cuartil, some miles away, accompanied by a shower of stones, the largest of which weighed two pounds. the number of farm holdings deâ€" creased by 10,861. This latter deâ€" crease has occurred wholly in the case of the smaller holdings. Most of those were usually contiguous to cities and have been cut up into building lots. The average size of farm holdings at the date of the census was 98.25 acres, as against 95.25 acres in 1901. > Land in field crops increased from 9,212,478 mcres in 1901 to 9,691,116 acres in 1911, being an increase of 478,638 acres, or 5.19 per cent. in the ten years; the land in orchard and nursery increased from 267,478 acres in 1901 to 268,000 in 1911 ; the land in yegetables and small fruits was 70,437 acres in 1911, as against l65,303 acres in 1901. Land in vineâ€" yards increased by 1,081 acres in the decade. The land under spring wheat decreased from 1900 to 1910 by 262,038 acres, or more than 70 per cent., and that under fall wheat by 355,240 sacres, or 32 per cent.

CANADA‘S FINANCES. PREMIER BOTHA Pyrotechnic Effect. On the occasion of a recent visit to London, I was one day sitting in a room in that mecea of all Canadians in London, the Canadian High Commissioner‘s office, when, suddenly, without formality, the door was thrown open and an old gentleâ€" man bounced in with all the vigor of & youth of 25. From photographs I imme: diately recognized him as Sir Charles Tupper, himself formerly Canadian High Commissioner, a fact which explained his privileged entrance. On introduction he gripped my hand with a force that cerâ€" tainly did not sufigest, age, and for a few minutes he discussed affaire Canâ€" adian with a mental alertness that proved that his mind retained vigor at least corresponding to that of his body. & I am reminded of the incident by the fact that Sir Charles has just been celeâ€" brating his ninetyâ€"third birthday. It geems impossible that the Agute I recall should have been 45 years old at Confedâ€" eration, and 16 years old at the time of the rebellion of ‘37, yet such are the facts. Few men have filled their lives with such multifarious activities over such a long period. Practically all his contemâ€" poraries have crossed the Great Divide and he remaina almost alone. A notable living contemporary is his successor in the office of Canardian High Commissioner, Lord Strathcona, and the man whose forâ€" tunes have been intimately bound up with Canada‘s in her budding days, and who now has long since exceeded the Psalmist‘s allotted span. It is doubtful if any other country can duplicate such & pair of veterans in the nation‘s service. ‘ The New Solicitorâ€"General. â€" The appointment of Hon. Arthur Meighâ€" en as Solicitorâ€"General in the Dominion Cabinet has been well received. A numâ€" ber of Liberal papers have referred to the promotion in complimentary terms, though no doubt reserving the right to disagree with the new Cabinet Minister‘s policies as strenuously as ever and as often as the occasion arises. _ Mr. Meighen without doubt has won the position on the strength of his talâ€" ents. Certainly no geographical consldâ€" eration can have entered into the matâ€" ter, because the Province of Manitoba is, if anything, already overâ€"represented in the Dominion Cabinet. Besides, there was Mr. Meighen is himself an.Ontario boy\ and becomes Bolicitorâ€"General at the earâ€" ly age of 37. He has already been five years in Parliament, almost making a record for youthfulness in that august resemblage. The ciroumstance was‘ NO doubt a great advantage, as it enabled him to catch the Parliamentary style in & manner which early enabled him to 86â€" cure the ear of what is said to be the most dificult audience in the country. Reference has already been made to the chapter in Sir George W. Ross‘ recently published book, "Getting Into Parliament and After," in which ho deals with the difficultness of the House of Commons as an audience. _Forme of oratory which fouse an ordinary public audience to high enthusiasm may fall as flat as a paDâ€" cake in the House of Commons. ; Mr. Bennett‘s Oratory. | A contemporary of Mr. Moighen, anâ€" other young western member in the perâ€" eon of Mr. R. B. Bennett, has perhaps exâ€" perienced this atmosphere. When _ Mr. Bennett makes a speech he indulges in a perfect whirlwind of oratory. His fluency, choice of vocabulary and facility of exâ€" pression are nothing short of marvellous and cannot but fail to impress most auâ€" diences. But in the House of Commons Mr. Bennett undoubtedly hase more than once felt that he was wasting his breath. Once he recognizes the situation, and he probably has done so already, he, too, undoubtedly will emulate the Parliamenâ€" tary style. (As he has great Ability he will catch it and will probably become & leading parliamentary figure. mo dearth of contenders for the position from the Eastern Provinces, particularly Ontario. which had at least three promâ€" Inent M. P.‘s who would have been deâ€" lighted with the promotion. ___ . _ "A voung George E. Foster," is the way Mr. Meighen as a debater is described. This is high praise in this country, beâ€" cause the skill, finesse and force of the Minister of Trade and Commerce in pasâ€" sages at arms are well known. However, for some reason or other, Mr. Foster has been spending most of his time out of the country, for which reason the accesâ€" gion of Mr. Meighen to the rank of front debaters in Parliament will be particuâ€" larly welcome. =. t LEDSOORUImcem reurds During the recent session Mr. Moighen displayed a resourceful and versatility in debate which immediately marked him as a man for advancement. He cannot but find satisfaction in the fact that sinco the formation of the Borden Cabinet ho is the first to have been chosen for fresh honors. It is worthy of comment that a young westerner with little experience has 80. Boon "écliprcd many of the oldsi memâ€" bers of Parliament who until a year ago enjoyed greater reputations. . y & ComyEt 0 HENTS Nee ie e on e en ie o ons L en In his first term in Parliament, Mr. Meighen made some stir as an advocate of legislation. How far Mr. Meighen will proceed on the pathway of fame will deâ€" pend largely on his sincerity and depth of character. He is now off to a good start. In United States politics the question which continues to offer food for| conâ€" troversy is as to whether the new Proâ€" greseive Party, under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt, is to swallow the Reâ€" publican Party or whether the Republiâ€" can Party will swallow it. According to the leaders of the Progressives there is no. room for controversy. In their minds the Republican Party is dead and the funâ€" eral ceremony is merely being delayed. The fact is that according to American history the Republican Party has outlived its allotted span of life. Parties as a rule have not been long lived in the United States. The unusual period of supremacy enjoyed by the Republican Party is the result of the unusua(‘% condiâ€" tions created by the Oivil War, since which event the Republic has been almost conâ€" tinually controlled by the party which utilises the elephant for an emblem. Woodrow ‘Wilson and Grover Cleveland have been the only Demooratio Presiâ€" dents in all that time. & 5 3 T â€" camoinndce en PCE meciaitA en only to win an election af would have been no split Old Partles and the argumen Generally speaking asouse both the old 1i controlled by special Progressives represent ernment of the people for the people: P Generally speaking the Progressives asouse both the old line parties of being controlled by special interests, while the Progressives represent a desite for Govâ€" erument of the people by the people and for the people.
