' .SUFFPvAG-E IN CANADA The English Women's Social and Political Union have issued the foT- lowing, statement wiich regard to their recent iiintcrview--1 iwiith Mr,., Borden, the Prime Minister ot the . DominiiiO(n| pi Oalpadja-. ' ��������� "The ���������interview with Mr. Bpr- den leaves' the .Women's Social and Political Union very hopeful of the speedy enfranchisement of the women of Canada. The franchise for women is demanded for each .of the provincial legislatures', but'of much greater 'importance is it <hat women should secure the franchiae for the Dominion Parliament. It id this franchise which it is within Mr. Borden's power bo give or with' hold. . "Judging by 'Mr. Borden's rpply to the deputation, a vigorous agitation for votes for women, will soon meet with success; for the only obstacle he suggested is that tne franchise for the provincial paiiia- ���������ments haa for the past f.'fteen vicars been accepted as the franchise for the Domin!:'|o|n parliament. This cannot be regarded as any obstacle at iali; because nothing more is need ed to satisfy the wiornen-s demand than the passage of an act provid ��������� ing that for the purpose of elect ������������������ng the Dom'nlioln parliament the names of all duly qualified wo men shall be added'to the existing register of male voters. "The objects qf the Women's Social land political Union being to secure votes fior women in all soif- governing parts (of the Empire, every .opportunity wjif be taken of strengthening; the organization in Canada, where the Union already has representatives. Australia and New (Zealand iha,ve .emjoyed -the' benefits of votes for. women for sonie years, and it w.ould mot , be right for Canada to lag behind " The reporter is always after news, that interests the'town. He, of course, asks everyone he sees aiid knows fiotr-news items. This week on his rpnnds he happened to ask a citizen what was going on in Abbotsford this week. Quickly "am'e the reply, "The board-bill." That settles it. He is not Irish. The stores will be closed on Monday next, it being Thanksgiving Day. ��������� ������ ������������������ THE MARKET. The provincial government has decided to supply -stnAip'mg po v- der free of charge to bqria fide settlers upon qondittons that shall be equitable both *fco the settler and also to the government. This is :a step in the right direction and will mark ia jnew .era/in the history of settlement on the lands;,of the province. The "cost off clearing the heavily timbered lands of the province has undoubtedly prevented many from taking ;up Lanjd ard making a homo for himself. J/t costs all the wayfr/oni $1,00 to $200 to clear the land and makes the settling of iqome J and very expensive to the intending settler. On the ground that cleared iajnd is a very valuable asset ;.to the settler and helps out the conn-try it had and helps out the country it had been represented several years ago that freight charges be somewhat reduced, mow comes the free powder. ��������� . We may expect to see more Und cleared during the next five years in the Fraser Valley than has been cleared in the past twenty, years, cleared in the past twenty, year-*. The McBride government are to be congratulated in this respect and it is now hoped that some of, the lands in the newer parts of the province will be thrown open so that a settler will know just: where A large (attendance, big supplies and brisk bidding in the pouitrv line were the outstanding features of the New Westminster mackc*.* Friday. Due chiefly to the near approach1 <of Thanksgiving Day Lhere was lain active demand for bird's, arid' prices' were somewhat lower than last week, the supply being heavy.

There was >a limited supply of turkeys for which 33, cent's a lb'1 wan being asked buft with no great) it-.--, sponse. It may be mentioned th?.' there were numerous enquiries for dressed poultry and a very mca-. gre supply. Eggs continue to soar in priue. this week the price having been advanced to 60 cents a dozen Soon they will be worth their weight in gold if the-present tendency continues. Butter was selling at irom 40 to -15 cents per lb.' Potatoes did not appear in excessive quantities and the prices' averaged, from $13'to $15 per ton, and 57 cents to"$l"per -sack'.

The importation of reindeer into Northern'Canada is not altogether an experiment, because In the neighboring territory of Alaska, imported reindeer and their off-spring have now' for some time flourished and proved their usefulness. They were imported into Alaska- by the United States Government,'just, as they are being imported into 'the Mackenzie District ,by our Department'of the Interior. , - In Alaska the,- .reindeer have increased rapidly; they . have found there abundance o'f suitable food; they have: proved-useful, as-beasts of burden, especially for prospectors and,travellers visiting remote parts of the wild-country; and they have supplied a needy -class 'of 'the population with a most valuable article of-food ��������� reindeer milk; not to' take Into account the meat always .available by killing an animal. The-traveller in the North has had to depend upon a dog-train. These dogs are difficult to manage, and their food almost invariably has to be carried '��������� a serious drawback where transportation' facilities are so limited. In hauling power one reindeer is equal to several dogs. In the natural mosses of the country ��������� the reindeer-can almost everywhere find its own food; and in case of dire distress the . slaughtered reindeer can save the-traveller from; starvation. THE FIRST AIRMAN The-true-inventor of.aerial navigation was Lieutenant, afterwards General Meusnier, -a prodigy, who' was made >a ,member-: of- the Academie des Sciences:at. the age of 29 on account of his work--in aerostation, and was killed at'the siege of Mayence in'1793 He was a true--scientific initiator. Through not following, the lines, he laid down aerial navigation lost a eentury groping about fatuously and conducting experiments absolutely without method: He elaborated -all the laws governing the stability of an airship, .and his designs-and calculations are preserved Ie the French War Office in the shape of drawings and mathematical formulas. He not only evolved the ballonnet,- he originated the triangular suspension system today considered ��������� imperative '< and universally adopted, and the "revolving oars" or the screw propeller ,(1784), now used for driving steamships as well, and he indicated the point at which the- screw should be Installed. Passing with bare mention over" GIffard's ��������������������������� balloon (1852), the first dirigible, run by the dangerous steam engine, near the gas, and Du- puy de Lome's-improvements on this (1872), and the TIssandier balloon, driven by electric motor (1883), we come to the dirigible La France, built in 1884-85 by Captain Renard and Captain Krebs. This .balloon is indisputably the-starting point of ������������������practical .-aerial" navigation, ind it Has ���������served as the model for all who have followed. - Eight tnousand .-gallons, of fresh water are used in .a large battleship daily.
