Readers who follow the Legisla- ture reports will recall a formal statement by Hon. Manning Doherty more than a week ago that the (RFD. group proposed to make protest in some form “at the opening of each day’s sitting” regarding their non- t'ECOgnition as Official (hipt'isition. That protest has been made with gradually diminishing force. sini- mering down during the week to a modest inquiry of Mr. Speaker at to whether he had arrived at a deci- sion on the petition presented. while on Friday there seems to have been port of a $15,000,000 deficit on last fiscal year has not been seriously at- tacked by either Harold Fisher. Lib- eral critic, or Hon. Manning Doherty. leading off for the U.F.0. Mr. Fisher was critical of the treasurer‘s fail- ure to detail just how expenditures were to be reduced, as promised. though he has no doubt received some light through announcements in the House. such as the prime minâ€" ister's casual statement that a reduc- tion in the official fleet of motor cars and trucks was expel-ted to save some $60.01!). .‘alr. Doherty charged that the new Government, had rather enm'iuraged expenditure in the elus- ing three months and a half of the year. but, insisted at the same time that. the Drury administration al- ways paid its debts promptly. He was also reminded by Col. Price that some $7,000,000 of hydro interest came, due at the end of the year. The House was amused when Mr. Imher- ty. charging "window dressing." by paying all bills and disconragii‘ig revenue codlections to make a had showing in the last year of IT.F.0. rule. added that it was "no new trick: it is done right alHng." Mr. Fisher. thuugh a new member {if the House. made his first spenzli therein as tinancial critic 0f hm party. and in respect to delivery and style of argument. quite lived up in favorahio’ advance notices. His atâ€" tack on features Hi the budget was a bit discounted by the. admitted fact. that the member had made his ac- quaintancn with the details «if :‘a'trâ€" vincial politics only a few days preâ€" Vious. A principal point in his adâ€" dress. which was listened to by crowded galleries and a full House. was a phipositinn that the treasurer Should pruceed to balance his bud- get. raising: the revenue as might be necessary. (201. Price had announc- ed that he saw little chance of mak- ing ends meet for a couple of years. but that the Government. proposed no new taxation, notwithstanding. It is evident that a practical sinking fund to retire provincial debt. is net a matter for the immediate future. Some folks thought the Hon. Peter Smith had started one. He hadn't. Toronto.

Perhaps the question is not so vital. now that it has been made clear that additional indemnity for Mr. Doherty is sta- tutory, and that there is no intention his group shall not be recognized as "an“ Opposition. Grey. The sessions have been very fully attended from the beginning and chronic absentees among the members are few. With regard to iast sessi1.,1n° Public Accounts shogv aimost the full indemnity paid, a slight ieduction from the maximum being p1 esumably due to the absence hey and statutory period of Tom Mag- iadery, then member for Temiscamâ€" ing. Rumors or a bonus to sessional indemnity, current from time to time last year, are heard not at all this session. Everybody realizes that the Government has nailed the economy flag to the masthead, and that any honorable member climbing Up to interfere with it would find himself in am unpleasantly conspicuous posi- tion.

Flesherton THE DURHAM CHRONICLE The Eskimo dog is a strange and a singularly fascinating beastie. He makes you think of Stevenson’s fa- mous story of “.Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” for he is partly dog and partly wolfe, the two natures in him are always fighting, and he is forev- er changing from one to the other, writes Fullerton F. Waldo. in “St. Nicholas.” In winter the wolves come from the inland wilderness and mingle familiarly with the dogâ€" teams, and the task of the master is to sift out the. wolves from his «legs a task more precarious than that. of dividing goats from sheep. DOGS OF THE mo ‘ HAVE A DUAL NATURE The wolf is biggéi‘ than the dog. The wolf may be about eight feet long from the tip uf his nose to the end of his tail, and a “huskey” meas- ures abeut six and a half feet. Ex- cept. fer size. then- are few per- ceptible differences between the wolves and the dog's, Every ltrue husky has pointed ears and slanting eyes. With a tail curved plumeâ€"wise over his back, and the color may he tawny. or it, may be white-and black. The dogs stand up to the polar bear. which. when cornered, is one of the fiercest creatures alive. They go into the water after the young codfish. and they stay there till they got it. Sometimes they raid the trout nets. They are wonderful swinnmrs and no dogs are more en- thusiastic for the chase of a stick or even a stone thrown into, the water. There is so much drudgery in their lives that it is distinct nov- elty to swim after it. just for the fun of it. The Eskimo dog is a stranger to must kinds of fear, but he has a vast- rcspnct nt' a. resolute man with a stick or 11-31mm in his hand. '1‘ he dogs are always ready fdr a meal. or for a fight. It is useless to try tn keep any sort of domestic animal where these dogs are. unless it, too, has learned to fight.
