As regards the latter, the bill to amend the assessment net, after prolonged consideration and a number of iinpoitant amendments in the interests of settlers, was reported complete with amendments in committee of the whole on Wednesday. The principal subject of discussion throughout the week, however, was the dyking assesment act, Which, was hammered at day after day, until it triumphantly passed its second reading on Friday by a vote of 21 to 13, or a majority of eight the largest yet secured by the government tliis session, and a very satisfactory proof oi the conviction of the house that the measure, while it may need some pruning in committee on account of reasonable representations made by numerous delegations from tlie districts affected, is iii the main both fair and necessary. 111*. Oliver, iu particular, was especially virulent; forgetting himself so far on Tuesday as to deliberately accuse the government of being in league with "a gang of land speculators." Called down tor this on Thursday by the premier in a magnificent speech. Mr. Oliver had the hardihood to deny having used the expression but his memory was out of shape, as your correspondent, who was In the press gallery at the time the accusation was made, can vouch tor the above being the exact expression made use of by the member for Delta. As opposition speakers in this matter, and their supporters in the provincial press, hav,* been making great capital on thia "land speculator* cry. it may Ik* as well to mention what kind of people were referred to under tills ipprobious tenn, Thev consist, prue* > ttcally without exception, of men who have sunk large sums ina vain effort to reclaim and render cultivable their anils, and who,beiug at leugtb drain ■ I of the necessary money and unable to wrest a liviug from their property, have lieen forced to cease residing ou it, iu order to earn a living elsewhere, j Now the government is attempting to so adjust legislation on the Bubject i that these persons, as well as those farmers still resident on their proper- ■ ties, shall uot be unduly burdened by the necessary measure* to secure a re* | turn to the government of some portion of the enormous sums which the public dyking operations have involved- Premier McBride's speech on t hurs dav was uot merely an exposition of ihe merits and objects of the dyking bill, but a scathing condemnation of the men who, to make a little political capital and to evade the payment of a few paltry cents per acre justly due to their province, could both revel iu false charges and public premeditated misstatements, and urge the imposi tion of greater burdens on those who had been le*s fortunate than theni- selves. Oftheeffecl of the premiers remarks the large majority by which the bill passed Its second reading on Friday was ample evidence, the speech was one of the most notable d livered in the house this session. Another example of the tendency the opposition to harass and distress the masses of the people by uuiieees sary and unduly restrictive legislation Las exhibited iu a couple of proposed amend .its to the game acton In dav The first of those was a motion I by Mr Oliver to prohibit the shooting, killing or trapping of game on Sunday.

W, J, Bowser, Vancouver, had a resolution come up on Monday (27th), which created quite a flurry in Liberal circles which, no doubt, was oue of the mover's objects. In case your readers may not have seen it, the following is the exact wording: "That this house regrets that in the bill proposed to lx; submitted to the dominion parliament, granting autonomy to the Northwest Territories,thei'e u an interference with provincial rights in regard lo the provisions deal- in-,' with their school system." The motion was adopted by the house without a division, and without any other speech than that of the mover. Xo member of the opposition uttered a word. It was, taking it altogether, a pitiful displav on tho part of the Liberals, who were content to sit in sullen silence and hear a political opponent flay their leader, hold their party up to derision, and make a public mockery of them all as lacking public spirit, consistency, common sense or political honesty, Mr. Bowser read to the house extracts from Sir Wilfrid's great speech on the Manitoba school question in 18!t(i; and then. with a firm hand, drew the deadly parallel between theso loudly expressed sentiments of the leading lijrht of Canadian Liberalism in 18% and his actions at the present time after a lapse of barely nine years. The opposition swallowed it all, preserving a gloomy silence while the sneaker asked the question thrice, and th'1 house placed on record, without a division, its unqualified condemnation of the Liberal way of conducting dominion alfur.s. Proceedings for the rest of Monday afternoon were tame, naturally. The routine work was put through and the famous "wig" bill of Stuart Henderson parsed its second reading. Victoria. March 29th.

They could not enforce one part ofthe bylaw without all, aud the city was in need of the money from dog taxes. The mayor said the law would be enforced whether the aldermen appointed a poundkeeper or not. No hardship would be worked on the livery men. As business men they had to run the risk of hard times the same as their fellows. Others had rights the same as the livery men and he did I not see why two or three men should have privileges over others. There was always danger to children on tbe streets from wandering stock, besides constant damage to fences nnd gardens by tho animals. Householders were continually complaining about the horses, cows, pigs and chickens, and theso taxpayers should not be made to suffer such annoyances. The city, too, bad need of the dog taxes and the monev should be collected. The law should either lie repealed or enforced, and while it was ou the books he would certainly enforce it.

Lycium or matrimony vine, Philadelphui or mock orange (oo or two of the hardiest varieties, such as grandiflorus and deutzialflorus), elder (several varieties), snowball or Guelder rose, etc. For ornamental hedge purposes the jbest shrubs are buffalo berry, silver- berry, caragana, Tartarian honeysuek- ! le, Russian olive, snowberry, buckt- I horn. Hardy Frulta. Strawberries—With strawberries it is probably more a matter of soil than of hardiness. Try several varieties. Currants—Nearly all the well known varieties of red, white and black currants are hardy. Red Dutch, White Grape and Black Champion are three of the very hardiest. Gooseberries—Houghton is undoubtedly the hardiest. Several other varieties, such as Downing, Pearl and Smith's Improved give good results ln favored locations or with careful treatment. The best protection for gooseberries Is a covering of brush, especially if the brush is cut in the summer with the leaves, wii the leaves and kept till required. Raspberries—All raspberries should be bent down and covered over with earth, but a few varieties, such as Turner and Philadelphia, have produced good crops without cover in some years. Some favorite varieties are Cuthbert, London, Dr. Relder, Marlboro (all red); Golden Queen and Caroline (yellow), and Hllborn, Gregg and Older (black). Plums—Aitkin and Cheney are two of the earliest ripening of the hardy plums and are therefore the most valuable for planting here. Many of the hardy plums of Minnesota do not ripen here before frost Apples—Hibernal and Duchess are generally regarded as the two hardiest apples. Crabs and Hybrids—Transcendent, Whitney and Martha are among the hardiest varieties. Regarding Membership. The Western Horticultural Society is anxious to extend its usefulness throughout Western Canada, and an invitation is extended to all persons who are interested in any branch of horticultural work or forestry, such as fruit growing, vegetable gardening, floriculture, etc., to become members of the society. One dollar, sent to the secretary, Geo. Batho, Box 1310, Winnipeg, will pay the entire cost of membership for the current year. This will entitle members to all the publications of the society, which contain many interesting articles on horticultural topics, forestry, etc. All members will also share in the annual free distribution of trees and plants, which is made in the spring. A MODERN MEDICINE Which Reaches and Cures all the little Ailments of Infants and Children, Baby's Own Tablets Is a modern medicine which replaces barbarous castor oil and poisonous "soothing" stuffs. The Tablets are a sweet, harmless little lozenge, which children take readily, and which may be crushed to a powder or administered in a spoonful of water if necesary. This medicine cures all stomach and bowel troubles, breaks up colds, prevents croup, allays the pain of teething and gives healthful sleep. And you have a solemn guarantee that lt contains not one particle of opiate or poisonous soothing stuff. Mrs. J. D.

Maw Cunadlmn Kxplorari Tinted rrmnkllm QraTtiyard—"Tlotnr»» mt lh* Nerth— Tba Neptune Expedition. Tucked away in a slender blue-book is a twenty-one page narrative of tt really remarkable piece of Arctic exploration. Mr. A. P. Low sailed from Halifax in the Neptune on August 22, 1903, and entered that harbor again on October 11, 1004. His expedition had been absent for a year and. fifty-one days. His ship had steamed 10,900 miles, and of this 1,800 waa ice-railoage, probably the best season's ice work on record. He had gono very far north, visiting Ellesmere Land .and the seen* of disaster, to many famous Arctic expeditions. He had to his credit a mileage of surveys amounting to over 2,000, and a long list of geological and natural history discoveries. Under most circumstances such an expedition would receive profuse notice. Mr. Low came and went most modestly, and the talo is told with great brevity in his official report to the Minister of Marine and Fisheries. "At eleven o'clock, on the morning of the 15th (of August), we dropped anchor In Erebus harbor, at Beechy Island, near the southwest end of North Devon. This is one of tho most Interesting places in the Arctics. Here Franklin wintered for the last time, before passing, with his ships the Erebus ana Terror, to tho westward; where finally all perished, on the shore of King Williams Island; or, in the attempt to reach civilization, to the southward. Hero also established the hoadquarters of all the Franklin relief expeditions sent out for years afterwards in search of his missing ships. After fifty yeara, numerous traces remain of these expeditions; the frame of a large storehouse stands on a shingle terrace, a few yards from the western shore of the harbor, and close under the hill forming the point. Inside, and in rows outsido tho building, ara many casks of provisions, including peas, flour, oatmeal and cheese, all destroyed by the weather. Scattered about are hundreds of tins; which once contained the in-famous Goldncr Patent rations, supposed to have been one of the direct causes of tho loss of the ill-fated expedition. Remnants of clothing and many leuth- er boot soles also were seen, together with a two-wheeled cart of Admiralty pattern. On the bench, below, are the wrecks of a large sloop and a life-boat, left by the relief expeditions. Both have been badly broken by the ice; and portions oi tlie mahogany plnnking of the lifeboat wero taken for souvenirs. On a small terrace, Immediately behind the house, is a wooden cenotaph erected to the memory of Frunklin and his crews; and lying along side is the largo marble slab sent there by American citizens; and left by llcClin- tock in 1858; who attached a brass plate to it. Wo raised the slab and photographed it; and agnin laid it, inscription downward, alongside tho wooden monument. Should a cruiser again visit this memorable spot, material for a solid foundation for this slab should bo taken as it cannot be erected In tlie strong winds that blow there without some such precaution. "About half a mile in rear of tho house, on a desolate plain, are tlve graves containing tho remains of some of Franklin's companions who died here, and some of tha members of tha relief expeditions. Leave was given to as many of the crow as possible to land here; but the ice coming out of the inner bay forced ua to leava before the graves could ba photographed. We brought away tha cart." Yet another picture of these dreary regions may bo given: "Cape Sabine was reached at ona o'clock on the morning of tho llth, and the heavy bumping in cross*ug waa but a foretaste to the excitement of that day. The ship was stopped behind a small island, just south of the Cape, where, accompanied by tha captain and the doctor, I landed on the rock granite shore, about half a mile south of Parry'a last headquarters. We walked over to his house, which was originally tho dock- house of the Windward. Closo to it is another small house, built of rough lumber, the residence of the Stein party. Both are very small, and the aurroundings dreary, while the amount of decaying walrue blubber, scattered about, rondered tha rocks slippery and the air slimy. A few bodies of dead Eskimos, wrapped in musk-ox skins, were covered with small piles of rock, within a few yards of the houses, and must havo proven pleasant company during tho dreary winter. A couple of photographs were takon, and a copy of tho proclamation, taking formal possession of Ellesmcre's Islund, was tacked on the insido of thc house. "Wo then retained to the boat, and found that duringi our absent a heavy floe some miles in extent had como in, and had forced the ship to leave for safety. The ice was fast closing on tho shore, and wa had a narrow escape from boing caught between it and the lnnd, but finally reached the ship in Bafety. All night ire wns forming between the pans, ' ihowlng tho first signs of the coming winter. "We now steamed southward, across the bay to Unix) Herscholl; when about half way across tho ship struck •violently upon ths summit of a Sharp rock, but luckily had wny enough to carry her over without lUUlglng. Several IceborgS were close alongside, nml a sounding taken within a hundred yards, gave seventy fathoms of watof.

But Arthur Roberts, a welt-knowu British actor came to the rescue In handsome style. Advancing rapidly to the footlights, he addressed the audience as follows:—"Believe me.-lndles and gentlemen, there is no danger; if there were do you think I would be here ?" saluting were faithfully observe,), one day a soldier who was leading an obstreperous mule to water and had both hands full employed ln the task was met by the lieutenant. The soldier, who had an occupation which de- nianded his undivided attention, failed to salute the martinet, who Immediate, ly called him to account for his remissness. "Why do you not salute an officer when you see him ?" he demanded. "You hold this mule and 1 will," culnily returned, the man. But the lieutenant did not Insist, and the regulations were broken. Prevent Disorder.—At the flrst symptoms of internal disorder, Parmalee's Vegetable Pills should be resorted to Immediately. Two or three of these salutary pellets, taken before goinx to bed, followed by doses of one or two pills for two or three nlglns In succession, will serve as a prevent alive of al tacks of dyspepsia and all the dls* j comforts which follow in the train of that fell disorder. The means are simple when tlio way is known. It is the Farmer's Friend.—The farmer will find in Dr. Thomas' Electric Oil a potent remedy for wounds or pains in the body or for affections of the respiratory organs and for household use generally. He will also find lt a convenient friend In treating injured horses, cattle, etc., or relieving them when attacked by colds, coughs or any kindred ailments to which they are subject. At one of the western army posts ln the days of the Indian fights there was a young lieutenant, who was careful to see that the regulations relating to Wife—George, I wouldn't buy any more accident insurance tickets—it'a a mere waste of money.

Among the troops who went to the front waa the 7th Fusiliers, with headquarters at London, Ont.! and with the regiment there came west " - young Westland, who on this occasion "r wish Willie Saphed would hurry got his first view of life and conditions "I1 h!s Proposal."

"i imow it I re-established, he went back east, want him to propose so I can get rid of where he quietly remained un II four '•""•" years ago. The movement to tl e Canadian West was then beginning to obtain something like Its preser.t proportions, and Mr. Westland thought he saw therein the hand of destiny beckoning lilm to tn** land of opportunity. He spent some little time In Calgary, and, ln the last month of 1901 purchased the Innisfail Free Lance. Since he has assumed control, the Free Lance has steadily Improved.

Today prosperous communities are to be found In Saskatchewan, Alberta and Assniboia, where even five years ago ttie prairie grasses waved ln the wind, without a sign of human habitation or occupation being in sight from horizon to horizon. This transformation, one of the most remarkable and bene- flcknt in the whole history of human effort, ls altogether founded and based upon the Intrinsic producing value of the turtle soil of tbe Canadian Northwest. Their attention once directed to Its possibilities, none were so quick to grasp the opportunity, and avail themselves of the personal profit so to be derived, than the people of the central States, who, by rail and by trek, have streamed northward ln peaceful Invasion ever Increasing in volume. But Western Canada has among Its Journalist some men, who, though by birth Americans, have been so long residents of Canada, and have so thoroughly imbibed and assimilated Canadian conditions, that ono needs to be told tbat they are not among the native born sons of the Dominion. Among these Is Mr. Geo. R. Westland, Editor and Proprietor of the Innisfail Free Lance, recognized throughout Alberts, anil the West ns one of the most conscientious and workmanlike news- Paper in.'ii of the Territorial press. •'*r. Westland has, by birth and sym- I'.ithy, peculiar qualifications for properly representing tho three main national elements constituting the predominating factors in Territorial life.

In connection with the Free Lance, tlie job business has shown a relatively even more rapitl growth, the reputation of the office for careful and trsteful printing having been long since established. To sum up, Mr. Wetland is a type of a successful Western editor who has "graduated from the case." He has grafted upon a thorough mechanical knowledge of all pertaining to newspaper production, a level-headed understanding of the cosditlous and needs of the West. He ls personally popular, and he understands his business. These things being so, his success is as natural as It was deserved. STATE OF OHIO, CITT OF TOLEDO | H . LUCAS COl'STY. 1 Hs' Frank J.

Manitobans do not relish Laurier's curt refusal to extend the boundaries of their province. Premier Roblin threatens to dissolve the legislature and make a general appeal to the electorate, making the question of enlarging the province the main issue of the campaign. Sifton's grand stand play in supporting the amendments to the school clauses of the Northwest autonomy bill was not without its effect, as he is to succeed Lord Strathcona as Canadian high commissioner to Great Britain. He'll give King Teddy a few pointers on how to govern, a la Klondike. With all due deference to the opinions of our Victoria correspondent, we fail to see what useful purpose W. J. Bowser has served in getting the legislature to butt in in the dispute between the dominion government and the Northwest Territories over the autonomy bill.

After years of anxious waiting the settlers in the rich Similkameen district are to be given communication with the outside world. Liberal boastings, while in power, that Ontario's finances were in a healthy condition, are not borne out by the straight facts. The Conservatives have completed an investigation into the accounts and the announcement is made that, instead of a large cash balance in the bank, there is a deficit o'f $1,300,000. Many other evidences of questionable dealings on the part of the Ross administration are being brought to light, one of the results showing iu the weeding out of license commissioners. In their desire to purify the government machinery, it is to be hoped the Conservatives will not introduce the spoils system. All Liberal officeholders in Ontario aro not bad, and when an official shows himself to be honest and efficient he should be retained, despite his party leanings. As has been expected for some time the smelters at Trail and Nelson havo closed down their five lead stacks, because of their inability to secure ores, The smelter people state the Slocan mineowners are not living up to their agreements for supply made when the lead bounty was granted; but there is another side to the story, and that is the feeling aroused by the iniquitous sliding scale of charges for treatment inflicted by tho local smelters, which bear so hardly upon the Slocan ores. It is strange, too, that the St. Eugene mine should have been allowed to send 2100 tons of lead concentrates to Europe last month instead of being kept at home for local trsatment. There is something wrong somewhere, and the truth will out one of those days.
