St. Petersburg, May 7.—If the present proposal for the nationalization of land in Russia be realised it will.probably effect an immediate change in the material situation of more people than any Blngls economic revolution In the world's history. It is brefly a scheme not only, to supply land to all landless peasants, but to round out and make adequate the land of those who rent or have insufficient land. The amount of land to be allotted to each to depend upon the region, for each of which a certain nohnal quantity will be calculated, adequate to supply the personal and public necessities ot a peasant family. For this purpose it Is proposed to take lands belonging to the crown, the ozar personally, the church and private owners, In excess of tbe fixed normal quantity. The state lands are to be leased, the prices to be'based on production. The expropriated landa of private owners shall be paid lor. by the government; with Interest bearing cer- tlllcates, the details in each case to ibe worked out by a separate' commission created lor the purpose. The public lands shall also be appropriated to furnish wood. The question of financing the undertaking will require more than one'billion dollars of credit, the operations ot which have not yet been approached lu detail. The amount of lands whtch lt ls proposed shall be distributed can be Judged by the present holdings, in 49 provinces comprising 1,054,170,000 acres crown holds 406,080,000 acres, tie imperial family 19,990,000 acres, the church 22,950,000 acres, and the land owners 25,180,000 acrea while the peasants numbering about 45,000,000 have 354,890,000 acres, an average ot a little-' more than eight acres per capita.

Now* that a plan of thoroughly and contlnuouHly advertising the city and tllstrlii is well under way, it Is just aa Well tu bear ln mind that every effort bade to beautify the city Ib well worthy ol all possible encouragement. In It- -solf It ia good and reasonably cheap advertising. Orillla. In Ontario, has set an example in this respect that should be noted and followed here. Us board of trade has for Home time been spending a good deal of money annually in advertising the town as a tourist resort and has succeeded tn awakening much Interest in the United States, as well as in Canada, In consequence, but the board did not content Itself with simply asking people to come to the town, tt has been at pains to educate the townspeople to make their town worth coming to see and to live in. A carefully prepared Illustrated booklet, under the title "Beautiful Orillla" has been published and distributed to ever}' resident. Thts little pamphlet undertakes to tell the people what tbey can do to assist in making the town attractive. It contains the following carefully written articles: "Lawns and how to care for them"; "Vines and window box decorations"; "The trees of the highway"; "How to plant the home grounds," and "How to build a rockery." Each article is profusely Illustrated, and as the paper used has a line surface the cuts "come out" exceedingly well. Already public Interest has been Quickened, and there Is every likelihood that before the tourist season begins the handsome town on lake Couch- lchlng will be a thing of beauty and a Joy for all summer. In making a start this year lt will be beyond the means of the 20,000 club to follow the lead of Orilla In getting out an Illustrated pamphlet as above described, but a beginning might very well ibe attempted through a series of articles In The Dally News. There must be plenty of residents in Nelsoa who could graphically describe the best way . of beautifying the city with the means at our disposal. Space will be readily accorded such articles In these columns and this paper will do Its best to forward a "beautifying" movement. The civic authorities set an excellent example this year when they arranged for the purchase and free distribution of a goodly number of ornamental shade trees. Next year the experiment should be continued and twice the number planted out thts season should be the gratifying result ■ There are many minor deUillu'oover- ed to some extent by the headlnga in the Orillla pamphlet above referred to, _—.

EDITORIAL NOTES. „There is a marked advance this season all through southeastern British Columbia ln agriculture. Readers of this newspaper are well aware of the great progress made In tbe fruit industry along the section from east Robson to Pilot Bay, but the same activity Is evidenced In other sections as well. The WUraer Outcrop sayB: The acreage of land under cultivation in the Kootenay Central valley this year will far exceed that of any previous year. From Golden right through to Cranbrook all of tlie ranchers are breaking up more land and quite a few of the new locations will be cultivated. Never before was there such a genuine interest taken In farming here as there Is this spring. The success of our farmers .last year ia accountable for , this whole-hearted movement to reap the benefits from this fertile soil, which only a short while ago was scoffed at by the many. The possibilities of this as a fruit growing country has been gaining In favor every day, until now the land owner who has not planted a few fruit treeB Is hard to find. Later reports from the Boundary country and from still further west all point to i continued and well sustained movement in agriculture this'season, and beyond question at the dose of the year a genuine advance ln the settlement and GOT HIS HAIR BACK.

Tbls summer is apparently to be an unusually hot and dry one, making bush tires exceedingly dangerous and likely to spread In all directions. Wherever the evidence ia satisfactorily convincing so as -to bring home the responsibility for causing these fires to the guilty parties, public opinion will warmly support severe sentences being meted out to them no matter who they are. Possibly If a few examples are made this early in the- season others may be Induced to take proper precautions when starting flres. President Roosevelt's declination of the dominion's gift of 1100,000. for the aid of the San Francisco sufferers has been somewhat misunderstood both in Canada and the. United States. In his subsequent message to.congress suggesting tbat a vote of thanks should be concurred in by the house to Canada, Japan and Mexico, the president stated clearly that he never proposed to interfere- with aid offered directly to the San Francisco people but only refused offerings which were presented to the United States to be handed on. Japan has already got over the president's refusal by sending money and supplies direct to the stricken city and lt is probable that the dominion's gift will eventually be sent direct to those in charge, of affairs at San Francisco, without ihe intervention of the president. reclaiming of a very large area will ham been recorded. Judging from the way the bush fires are springing up all over the district this early in the season, we are in for a much worse bush fire summer.

The expense of operation is great, and the profit realised Ib little—if any. The situation, stated .with brutal frankness, ls this: Editor neane is giving his time, talent and money for the beneflt of a non-enterprising, dead In tho shell community, which has not the decency to recognize his effort, and which belongs to the class of humanity that is quick to take advantage of the beneflt conferred, because some one else ia paying for it- There are many communities that have the idea that a newspaper man is only out out for a public benefactor, that hla sole aim in life is to work for others with the expectation ot getting a drown ln heaven. According to our opinion editor Deane Is about the only man in Nelson who has his berth engaged. A town is generally known by its newa. paper, and Nelson's good points would never be known but for The Dally News. The man that keeps the good points in the limelight of publicity, should at least be supported by the cltlsens who have tbe Interests of the city at heart, if lt is not, lt indicates that the clasa of material for citizenship is not of the character that will make for permanence In the prosperity ot Nelaon. It The Dally Newa Is forced to curtail Ita scope ot policy, It will indicate to the public that Nelson is dying of dry-rot, and convey to Intending Investors and the outside world, that previous claims for recognition were not founded on fact, if The Daily News, goes under from lack of support it will bs safe to predict the funeral of the city from that date. The business men who do not realise their responsibility In this direction are of a class whom the outside territory will do well to steer clear of. SETTLERS COMING IN Another Added to the list of Fruit Ranchers on the West Arm. T. O. Procter reports having sold to some London agents, on behalf of an intending settler, 20 acres of fruit land on the west arm of Kootenay lake, Just above the Narrows, for 12000. The land has four acres cleared and 16 uncleared. On the cleared portion are 280 fruit Jj trees, 70 to the acre, all bearing. The J price realised Is, therefore, (100 per acre, and the ranch acquired Is Bald to be more than worth the money for which it was sold,- as some of the trees are upwards of 14 years old and a good Income Is being derived from these trees alone. MONTREAL MINING EXCHANGE The Montreal Mining Exchange has held its first session.

Oood Work of Brigade., (special to The bally.Mews) Fernie, May 7.—The open season for Area in. Fernie has begun, quite briskly. Three days age the Great Northern de- pot and freight sheds were practically destroyed by lira of supposedly incendiary origin, and yesterday evening at 6 o'clock the old log building known ln construction days as the Coal Creek hptel, together with several shacks ln the "old town" were burned to the ground. As far as can be ascertained at the moment the.log: building was occupied'by Belgian families recently arrived . trom. Morrlsaey. The parents having gone out and left seven or eight children in the house, it Is presumed that they ln some way set the building Oh lire. Nothing was saved of the contents with the exception ot two trunks containing some clothing. The adjoining building was occupied by the family of Thomas Smith who saved most of their belongings. '•,-,. . The log building was pointed out to visitors as the place where "Alex Stewart In nine months ln 1898 cleaned up some 127,000 from the booze business." Tbere was a very strong wind blowing at the time of the fire which almost Increased to a gale, and which threatened to wipe out the district known aa the old town, i At the same time a bush lire burning to the south ot the town tanned by the strong wind, endangered the Fort Stools Brewing Ca's plant, but fortunately about 7 o'clock the wind veered to the north and if lt remains In that quarter these will he little, It any, danger to buildings. j Toe Fernle Are brigade did very effective work both yesterday and at the Great Northern lire. The water pressure is all that could be desired. > It |a reported that a boy named Stone while playing With a. stick of dynamite yesterday afternoon had one of his handa blown off. , Dan MoNelsh. formerly of Fort Steele and Elko, will assume the duties of road superintendent for bhe Fernle district tomorrow morning. This la government agent McMulllns flrat appointment and one which will give general satisfaction. Mr. (McNelsh is well qualified to All the position having had a great deal of ex. perlence in road making. - ■ . INDISPENSABLE FORERUNNER i Advertising, In one or another ot Its many forms, Is an indispensable forerunner ol ever; transaction between civilized humans, says the Inland Printer. It haa been aa)d: "We all begin life aa advertisers; our flrst cry was a want-ad for a breakfast food." The need of advertising grows ..with the ■complexity of man's Interdependence. tn order to live In present-day civilization, everybody Is obliged to be continually trading his services or his possession tor those ot others. Thla trading is effected by one flrat Informing , others of what he has to offer them in exchange for what hie wants trom them, iln Its best analysis; advertising ls no more nor lesa than the giving out ot Just such information. . The further along we send thla information the greater will he the number of persons who act upon It. The' discovery of this simple, principle of eoonomlcs has made advertising the foremost topic of the present business era.: It has built up large fortunes and Involves the yearly expedlture of many millions of dollars. It is a marvellous potency tn extending a business that, Is already paying, and Is mill more satisfying In the new lite It gives to a legitimate but lagging enterprise. The merchant or the producer of any commodity suitable for general use can create a demand for his wares or his products in direct ratio to the amount of Judicious advertising he gives to them. MODERN CRUSOES , New York, May 7.-A despatch to a morning paper from Lisbon says: The Portuguese warships Baptlsta Andrado, which was carrying a new governor to Mozambique, disappeared some months ago.

Montreal, May 7.—According to those who have had experience, Cobalt's mining exchange Is hound to go by ths board for tbe very good reason tbat it has no excuse for being there. In Cobalt the people quarrel with the Exchange because It depresses their . .' tr-cks, while customers from the outside will not send lt orders because there is al ways such an* apparent distance between the buyer and thesseller. Since the inauguration of the Cobalt exchange, stocks which were selling aa high as ti per share bave depreciated to $1.45, and others which were selling at $1.1*1 are now quoted at 00c. Thts mas- be the fault ot the exchange, and It may not, but anyhow the exchange la being blamed for lt J , "An exchange has no place In a min- . Ing camp," remarked one large mining stock holder. "The people there have no desire to p*Urchass stocks; they have them to sell. In Butte, Montana, with a population ot 90,000, practically all living oft the mines, there Is no exchange, and the people there would not have one. Like every other commodity, if stocks are to be sold, they must be offered where there is a market If you were to take a lot of dry goods- out Into- the woods where there was only one P<«*-> ohaser, he would likely secure the whole thing for ten cents oh the dollar. That Is very much the condition which presents Itself In offering mining stocks for sale In a mining camp. There Is no market in Cobalt, the people are unwilling; to buy, and, at prevailing prices they And it equally impossible to sell."

CANNON FOR PRESIDENT HIS BIRTHDAY MADE STARTING POINT FOR HIS BOOM SECTION OF REPUBLICAN PARTY ENTHUSIASTIC. , Washington, May 7.—Speaker Joseph 0 Cannon, of the house of representatives, is 70 years old today and hts birthday will be made the starting point 01 a 'big political boom, the object ot which Is the nomination of Mr. Cannon for ttie presidency of the United States. The friends, personal as well as political, have arranged a big reception and dinner In honor of speaker Cannon's birthday, and it will be at the dinner tonight that the boom will be formally launched. | Notwithstanding hts 70 years, speaker Cannon ia sUll hale and strong and shows none of the failings concomittant to old age. The proposition of starting a Cannon boom was suggested some Ume last year and since then it has been thoroughly discussed by the friends of Mr. Cannon and many ot the political leaders who are not themselves aspirants to the nomination. It ls [believed by many friends of Mr. Cannon, that, leaving president Roosevelt out of consideration, speaker Cannon Is the only -nan who can save the republican -party trom defeat at tbe nest presidential election. [The party leaden have been much worried by the signs of radicalism and revolt tn the political atmosphere nnd the chances of a Bryan, a Hearst or a Bailey riding the popular wave to power, has set them to scurrying for some men "close to the people." They say Root will not do. Fairbanks Ib out of the question. Even Taft ls now doubtful, and Jhe chances seem to favor his accepting president Roosevelt's invitation ta ascend the supreme court bench. The Illinois delegation in the house Ib, naturally for Cannon to a man. Illinois ls his state. The Indiana members ot the houae are tn an embarrasing position. There Is scarcely a man of them whose heart ts not with Cannon, but so long aa they are members of tbe Fairbanks machine, they feel that they cannot officially line up their state with Cannon until Fairbanks withdraws. There Is a movement on foot to bring about this result , The Ohio members of the house do not feel at liberty to declare for Cannon at this time. The obstacle ls senator For- aker, who has the presidential bee ln hts bonnet, although It is an almost foregone conclusion that his nomination would lead to a terrific defeat for the republican party. Forakcr* has come out as a candidate, however, and that will probably tie tbe hands uf tlio Ohio members. Speaker Cannon holds the records tor speakers. When he took his seat as speaker the first time Mr. Cannon was 67 years old. Even at that age he was two years older than his oldest predecessor st his retirement, William Pennington, ot New Jersey, who was speaker of the thirty-sixth congress from 1859 to 1861, was 65 years old when he stepped down. He died tho following year. The tendency ot late yearB seems to have been toward selecting older speakers. Previous to the civil war, of 23 speakers only .Pennington, Jonathan Trumbull, who was 51, and John Var- aum, who was 67, were over 60 years of age when they were eleoted, and there were a number ot rather youthful presiding oflleers. Counting Oalusha A. Crow who presided during the struggle, there have been II speakers since the war and all were men well advanced In life except Crow, who was only 88 when elected. Ths baby speaker was Robert M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, who wss speaker ot the twenty-sixth congress and was 30 years old when he was olectert. LB ROI NO. 2 Latest Official Report-Details of Ore '.

Stops 28—This stope appears to be shortening and narrowing,/ probably owing to the convergence of the two dykes which bound the east and west ends of this; but It continues to yield a very good grade of ore, though somewhat smaller In quantity than some six months ago. Stope 11, 700 ft level —This stone has again broken through to the 600 and near that level yields a very good grade of ore. A tew floors down It is, however, mush more difficult to follow, and Is also lower In grade, Stope 9—This stope, from being what appeared to be an Insignificant bunch, has now developed into a very important oro producer. Its present width Is about six feet and the ore Ib solid and of good grade. H east—The back ls being taken out of the H east drift, to make room for the first row ot stalls, and though more tn the nature of development than ore production tt has been classed under the latter head. The cost Of stoping this month will theiefore be found Bllghtly higher than usual and the cost of development correspondingly smaller, as a large proportion of the driving was carried on much closer to the shaft than for some months past. This stope is opening out ln very good shape; the width varies from about six feet to about two feet or three feet, but Ow samples Invariably run high In gold, only onr having been less than one os.

Another matter calling lor vigilant attention is tlie growth of the drinking habit among minors, which is to be suppressed as far as possible. And to these task**, (big enough in themselves for a small force, is Added the still more Important one of running down the numerous professional criminals who have drifted into Kootenay from south of the border. No fewer than seven offenders laced the magistrate yesterday morning, the churgwa belng drunkenness, vagrancy, theft and carrying weapons, Tho prisoner, known to the police (is - Conrady, and charged with the theft ot an overcoat from the Grand Central hotel Saturday morning, gave his name as Alexander McDonald, and pleaded guilty. Re was sentenced to three months imprisonment In tlie provincial gaol. John Henderson pleaded guilty to vagrancy and will also serve three months In gaol. Arcangolo Petrett waa arrested Kfitur- day night for having a revolver In his possession. The revolver was confiscated and Petrett paid (26 and costs. Paul Wraneslch, found sleeping In a box car on Saturday, pleaded guilty to a charge ot vagrancy and was remanded for one day. T. WeBt and J. Rowland were arrested Sunday night on a charge of stealing a C.P.R. speeder at Gerrard to convey tnem to Lardo. They were willing to plead guilty tout were remanded for one dny, Wraac- slen and West were arrested together. They answer the descriptions given by Nelson and Connors of the holdup men or Saturday morning, and they are being held for Identification. ATchle Cunningham admitted having .been drunk and disorderly, but the charge was withdrawn on his requesting to be interdicted from drinking, for a year, lhe magistrate iBeued the order although be commented on the futility of forbidding the supplying of liquor to Buch men while - others could procure It for thero. At today's session tho three men remanded will come up again, and Dun Cameron will answer to a charge of allowing his horses to run at large. , . . In reply to a question on the subject of minors being supplied with liquor, and the Bteps that would be taken to prevent it, chief Jarvis said: "The license commissioners have given orders for Us Prevention. -Hotel und Batoon keepers wno supply liquor to boys will lose their licenses -m i-nnviCtlon." tbe Ull MINING IND SMELTINC NELSON.

Greenwood, division engineer, who was called to South Africa. On the completion of the Peterboro-bake- fleld section of the Trent canal, Mr. Francis waa appointed engineer of hydraullo locks and since has had charge of the work both at Peterboro nnd Kirkileld, where the second hydraulic lift Is nearlng completion. The responsibility involved ln designing and carrying out tho detollB of the eteel and concrete work in connection with these locks was very great, and this responsibility Mr. Francis has amply met. In the course of the work many new problems were solved, because this form of lock was -practically untried, and tacts only to a HiftUed extent determined. It ts well recognised that large share of tho success of the operation Is due to the skill and professional ability of Mr. Francis, who ranks very high ln the profession, and his work boa elicited unstinted praise from men high In the profession, and who have visited and Inspected the lock and observed Its operation. It is also recognised that the ability which he has shown will be amply able to grapple with the responsibility involved In the large and difficult work on which he enters.

(There bas Just been published ln Lon- >n a book entitled "The slavery of oor; a scientific demonstration of the [entity of free and slave labor," by /illlam Bell Richardson. Whatever Mr. Robertson has to say n the subject which he haa made, pe- -llarly his own, is always worth read- iig. He approaches political economy mm* a new and original standpoint, and oes not take even the time-worn donations on trust. When, for Instance, e commences to discuss the "Founda- ons of political economy,1' in the strik- ig volume which bears that title, he kee ua a new definition of wealth, and [hlle he is engaged.in constructing It, i shows that ln this particular respect I dan* Smith was not quite right and' tbe I ranger Mill completely out of lt . 1 When, th.et»fore, Mr. Robertson com- eiices tit--discuss the slavery of labor. e know that we shall get somelhlnt! wn and Incisive, well worthy of close tentlon and careful consideration. Mr.' I obertson'e theorem ls that the effect of lie social organisation as It la ran at ie present time is to keep the vast ma- rlty of the population supplied with st sufficient reward for their labor to table them to live and to go on work- g am)< to reproduce sufficient bum- IHB DAIIil HBWS, HBLSOH, B. 0., TUESDAY, MAY 8, IBOS bers of their species to perpetuate the existing conditions. This, he argues,'is nothing but slavery in the mask of freedom; for no ancient or modern slaveowner can obtain labor for less than the outlay required to maintain It in a state of efficiency and to perpetuate It or to provide fresh supplies to replace it. Mr. Robertson's Idsa Is that we have all around us ample evidence of an abundant natural supply of every commodity which Is necessary for the comfort and happiness of the human race, and that all the trouble which is constantly necessitated In order to keep the social mechanism running smoothly ■ arises from a lack of effective distribution of the products of the earth among the Inhabitants thereof. In proof of his argument that the world produces enough and to spare for all IU Inhabitants, he points to. the Increasing difficulty of opening up new markets for goods. You can only sell a man a thing* If he wants it. If he Is already supplied he will not buy it Mr. Robertson maintains that all the civil-, ited countries of the world are now coming to be so well supplied with all the commodities they need that the openins/,up of new markets becomes—as everybody, Indeed, admits—a matter of 'otjjMlkitly-lnereasing difficulty. There ■a^Sj.'ioneral abundance, and people do not' want to buy more, of course, there are many people who will Join issue with Mr. Robertson ln his arguments; but nobody is likely to dispute the lucidity wtth which he sets them forth, or the evldehcea* which tbey present of the care and thought which have heen spent on their elaboration. Anything that la new in the shape of economic thought certainly deserves the warmest welcome-nowadays.- Current economic thought runs in a groove, and never seems to get out of it. For instance, In the realm of taxation' the human race has become, so.accustomed to be taxed that lt never, seems to occur to anybody that the goal of a modern financial reformer shpuld not be the reforming or the adjustment of taxation, but Ita abolition altogether. Taxation was all very well in the ancient world, when the land and the nation were to all intents the property of the monarch; or in mediaeval times, when the great majority of the population counted for nothing In the calculations of statesmen. And men have so long been educated to submit to taxation that they have come to regard it as part of the natural order of things.' Hence, at this time of year, we are accustomed to. discuss whether the chancellor of the exchequer will be able fo reduce the Income-tax at all, and whether this duty or that duty will be Increased or diminished. . Suggestions are made that the chancellor of the exchequer will have to turn his attention to the discovery of new sources ot revenue; out it never seems to .occur to anybody that possibly some day a great chancellor will arise who will see that hie duties are to sweep away taxation altogether. . I*, the reader will consider for a moment what a stimulus would 'be given to the prosperity of the nation If the vast sums of money, whioh are now wrung from the taxpayer, and wasted with such lavish profusion by the imperial government: aod by local authorities, were left is the taxpayers' possession, he'will probably agree that the goal of financial reform Is not tbe readjustment of taxation, but tbe dispatch of the whole taxation system into the Unibo of forgotten and* discredited things. These are daring suggestions, and they will .probably be scouted by many people as grotesque and impossible of realization; but that Is necessarily the fate ot any new idea. The law of gravitation, the circulation of the blood, the revolution of the earth around the sun—these are all specimens of Ideas gie propagation of which was at one me regarded as an Infallible proof of lunacy. The time will come when the present system of taxation will appear as ludicrous ln the eyes of^our posterity as. the dream of the philosopher's stone and of perpetual motion appears to us. The advent of that time frill ihe considerably accelerated by plain speaking and original thought with regard to economic problems', and It is. for that reason that the work of writers like Ml*. Robertson, who aro prepared to lead the way to new ideas, is deserving--of all welcome and appreciation at the hands of serious people. BEGINNING TOO EARLY POREBT FIRES ALREADY THKlflATKN TIMBER ON HILLSIDES •NELSON, ROSSLAND AND TRAIL Atiti HAVE SAME), AFFLICTION I A Arc that Is already causing annoyance to Nelson and may end in sweping the Wee ot the mountain across the lake, started in the valley or 'Qrohman creek Sunday night. Jt was fought toy many that it must have originated on tiie land owned by J. J. Malone, ibut investigation by provincial constable Young yesterday alter-. noon proved that the origin was higher up, on the next bench, on land owned by a rancher named Fraser, constable Young found no one on the property and could discover no cause of llie tire. The cabin has 'been burned to tne ground and the lire Is spreading rapidly up thc valley. Laat evening a change ot wind drove ihe flames and smoke WCK from the lake, 'but another change may cause the burning of the whole hillside. Clearing operations are being carried on now aU over Kootenuy, and, us the wuniiui Ims been unusually light mid everything is perfectly dry, each clearing tire Is traugnt with great danger unless very carefully guarded.. This ls the second flre this season In tne neighborhood of Nelson, but other places are suffering from the same evil, as may- lie seen from the following: '■ According to the Rossland Miner of Bun- day last the whole sldo of the mountain from Trail north to Murphy creek is ablaze with a forest flre that was set by a spark from a passing locomotive, at the atuti dump near the China creek mill, on tne 37th Instant. There Is considerable danger of this flre spreading and doing mucn lamuge before It Is checked. An organized effort should be made to extinguish "■ Locomotives should bo provided with effective stack screens. ■ The Trail Creek News says: A rancner named Johnson set out a flro on his rancn on the Carlson 'bench on Sunday. It spread rapidly and burnt over the scrub -timber on the entire mountain side. By night, however, it had burned itself out, and no material damage resulted. The tire to the northwest of the city Is also under control. JAFFRAY AND COX Among Canadian financiers Hobert Jaffray, president of tlie company which controls the Toronto Globe, and Oeorge A. Cox, president of the Canada Life, tho ■bank of Commerce and other Institutions, are familiar figures. For years there UM been a tacit alliance between the two. This was brought about ln the old days when the Midland Railway of yntaf'0 was an independent struggling road, iho story of the deal which brought Jatnny and Cox together is an interesting one. At that time Cox was a plain, every day citizen of Peterboro, Jnttray a wholesale grocer of Toronto. Jaffray was a friend of Hon. Oeorge Brown and through Mm was introduced to Mr. Lyle, a Bcotch gentio- nmn holding £6000 of Midland WIW honds.
