PBOPORTIONAL REPRESEN I A l ION. l The representatives of three railway _ companies ask aid for their several en- terprises. The first request was for a grant of $100,000 towards a bridge ‘across the Ottawa river at Bawketr- ( bury, to connect the Parry Sound and Canada and Atlantic railways with the Great Northern, and thus give a trunk line from Parry Sound to the Province ot Quebec, to facilitate the direct ex- port of grain, and to aid the develop- ment of that part of Ontario affected by the lines mentioned. The bridge will cost half a million dollars, and the Dominion had granted $52,5t.0 towards it, besides subsidizing the roads. Coun- ty Crown Attorney Curry acted as spokesman, and was accompanied by J. M. Savage, of the Great Northern railway, and Mr. Barrie, of the Canada Atlantic, besides the Speaker and a number of the members of the House. WOitTmNGToN AND ONAPlNG. The Worthington and Onaping rail- way, a continuation of the North Shore and Manitoulin railway across the Nickel range and into the Vermilion district, was represented by H. W. Evenden, an English capitalist from the South African gold fields, and now residing at Campement dOura Island, Lake Huron, and Mr. John McKay, of the Soc. '1 hey preferred the usual re- quest of 83,000 per mile. To DEVELUL’ MINERAL LANDS. The third enterprise to solicit aid was also in the line of New Ontario development. it was the Bruce Mines and Alguina railway, to run 50 miles north iiom Bruce Mines, and open up copper and nickel tucatiuna, eventually tapping the U.i'.lt. main line. 'ihose present were Mayor Wile, Buffalo; Judge Holden, Sou, Mich.; u. W.Good- sate, Circago; M. G. Caryell. U'heaen- lug, Mich. ltAi‘ll) GROWTH OF PINE.

Russell, East Hastings, mov- ed the second reading of his bill to allow municipalities to adopt propor- tional representation. The bill pro- sides that any city, town, village or township may pass a by-law providing for the adoption of proportional repreo sentation by any method which will result in the election of any qualified candidate who obtains at the election a quota of valid votes, the said quota being touna'by dividing into the num- ber of valid votes the number of coun- cillors, or alderman to be elected, ignor- ing fractipns; it any. Any municipal council may, whether adopting propor- tional representation or not, provide by by-law for the use at the elec- tion of any municipal officer, wherein only one office is to be filled, and only one candidate can be elected, of a preferential ballot that will enable, in the event of more than two candidates running for such office, electors to designate their choice not only by marking their ballot for the elector's first choice, but in such a way as to designate second and sub. sequent choices. in the alternative event of the first choice having been unsuccessful; and for such purpose may provide tor the utilization of such votes cast for an unsuccessful candidate by a redistribution of them after dropping such candidate in pro- case of counting, after the manner of tho Hare-Spence system, or other sys- tem as may he deemed by Said council most effective for the purpose. {ION MR.

The company is to ereut paper mills coat- ing $1,000.80: and turn out 303110 tom; of paper yearly. In the first six months 82.50,000 of the money must be spent, and double that amount in two years, and the total in three. For all this the Government gives the com- pany the right to cut. spruce, poplar. tamarar, and jack pine along the Sturgeon river and tributaries. They are to pay 10 cents for hardwood and 20 cents per cord for spruce. The. com- pany have no rights to soil, and must not retard settlers. ALIEN CLERGY.

He himself wasn't sure as to the merits of the case; but it seemed to be pretty generally agreed that while bounding deer was permitted, the clause of the AN prohibiting the kill- ing of deer in water should be re- pelled. Mr. Reid, Addington, supported the bill, on the ground that it the deer were not taken in the water, many of them that had been wounded by hunters got away and died in the G AME PROTECTION . Mr. Gibson introduced his buiky bill to amend the Game Protection Act. Among its provisions hotels and res- taurants are prohibited from setting game. on their tables during the pro- hibited season unless they are in the possession of licenses to store game shot during the open season. For purposes of tracing the same the licensee is ob- liged to furnish arecord of all game stored. Other clauses provided that spurtsmen'e guides must be licensed by the game warden. This, said Mr. Gib- son, was designed to provide employ- ment for the Canadian guide and do away with the practice of introducing American guides. . .

TRADING STAMP COMPANIES. Mr. Lumsden's bill. regulating trad- ing stamp companies, and imposing a yearly tax in proportion to population, was read a second time. The Hon. member tor Ottawa thinks it only reasonable, on account of their inter- ference with ordinary business con- cerns. that trading stamp companies shall pay a tax of 81000 in cities above 50,000 population; 8500 in cities with less than 50,000; 8250 in places where the population is 5000 or over.
