The gamblers hold sway for a long time in Lethbridgo. Not content with a reasonable amount of gain their avarice forced them to practically rob. everybody that looked easy. Tho Herald , got after tho gang and drove them out? of tho prairie town. The gamblers of that town were a lot of human wolves. The Herald tells how a farmer came to that town, in advance of his family, with ;$i,000. Ho intended to buy a farm and settle down. Tho sharks gob him.' going, and in less than a week ho did not have tho prico of a ham sandwich. They had cleaned him out with crimped cards and othor. devices. The name of tho farmer is not given, but it could hardly have been Harry Nash. In some towns they will not let Harry play for fear that lie would lose othor people's money. Some men would rather own an automobile tlian havo ' nothing to worry tliein. - \mmwmmtmmm Favoring American Seaports ,The sign3 increase' that the Grand Trunk intends to carry the western business it will get from the'Grand Trunk Pacific to American ports and give Canadian seaports the go-by. It will be rem- embcied'that when the Laurier government,was making its Grand Trunk Pacific bargain it was with much ostentiou put in the agreement a clause binding the' Grand Trunk Pacific to use none but Canadian routes and Canadian ocean ports. Mr. R. L-. Borden moved that the same obligation be imposed on th�� Graud Trunk with respeet to traffic which itt may get from the G.T.P. This the government, refused to do; ,it deliberately left the Grand Trunk untramelled. Now what is tho result. x The Grand Trunk now is buying huge areas at'Providence, Rhode -Island, withthe express purpose of using it as a seaport. Its purpose is to "make a through route of the Central Vermont, which hitherto has not been a paying property. Thus tho Grand 'Trunk Pacific will gather the freight in" tho;west and the. Grand -Trunk", ^vifi.wjlf ship'it through American ports. Ifc>is precisely 'the arrangement which Mr. Borden fortold and which the government scoffed at. Our two 'hundred_million dollars goes to build up American ports. The Graud Trunk now is about to build the Aigorna Central which runs north from Sault Ste. Marie, onwards to tap the Transcontinental north of L'ike Supeiior. Thus traffic will be drained off to Sault Ste.-Marie, thence by the Grand Trunk's subsidiary line to Sarnia, and so to Portland and Providence. Mr. 'Grant is in the hospital.

A good deal of gossip is going about in a quiet way as to the future of the Liberal party. It is becoming clear that Sir ^Wilfrid Laurier is approaching the end of his tenure of the premiership. He made the contest of 190S on the plea that it was to be his last, and the Liberals, while keeping sedulously silent on' the subject, are making quiet preparations for. his retirement. With many of them these preparations are taking the form of anxious efforts to get under cover of some good job. In part, however, they aro taking the form of a study of .the succession. Who is tOjbo the leader after Laurier? One ri'amo that is heard a'good deal is that of Sir Lomer Goniii. Q.ue- bec support, the" Liberals argue, is the' backbone of. tlio Liberal party; therefore Quebec must nominate the leader. This is the present stage of the subject. Canadian Wood Products. ' The totnl value of the.production of lumber, lath, shingles, cross-ties, poles and pulpwood during 1908 was 807,425,044.

Duthie has nearly recovered from an attack of scarlet fever., It is thought that he contracted.: the disease from dirty bills, which shows how dangerous it is to be a juniorbauk clerk.

Burden's hotel, in Molson, was set on fire early Sunday morning aud burned down. There were about 20 people sleeping in the house at the time, many of whom had to jump from the upper windows in order to,save their lives. One girl fell onto the roof of a barber shop.aud was slightly injured. E. V. Kinney was seen to come out of the building' when it commenced to blaze,-mount his horse, and ride away. Sheriff Jones and two others attempted to arrest him but he stood the posse off with a gun as he was afraid of being lynched. Kinney crossed the line and a message .was sent to the provincial police office in Greenwood. Chief Bunbury, accompanied by Billy Wilson made a hard ride of 50 miles and captured Kinney in a shack on Anarchist mountain. He did not resist arrest nor make a gun play. Inside of 24 hours from the time of receiving the message Chief Bunbury had the prisoner behind the bars of the Greenwood jail. That is swift work wheu the Jong hard ride on horseback is takeu into consideration, and shows that the provincial officers in this city are not asleep. How Montreal Grows- It is estimated that Montreal's population is within speaking distance of the half million mark, it having increased by leaps and bounds of late, owing, not only to the immigration and natural growth _but._by.the annexation of seven outlying municipalities which have long been practically part of "the" city, although under separate charters. A year ago Montreal's population was estimated at 390,000, with SO,000 for these suburbs. With the present annexation legislation, now going through at Quebec, the city's population will increase to 450,000, while its area will be doubled. When adjoining cities, such as Maisenneuve with 25,000, and Westmouut with 12,000 and other lesser places are added, Greater Montreal. will become a city of easily half a million, with a strong growing tendency. Ten years ago the city's population was given as 266,000. No Newspap.er._Men_There._ (Aylmer Express.)

It is becoming plain that . the Laurier government feels very shaky over tho next election. Since its return to power in 1908 things have gone badly for ife. Its Transcontinental chickens are coming homo to roost. Mr. Pugsley's name brings reproach to all Liberals of the older school in constituencies which do not lend themselves to tlio metkods of conciliation, in which he excels, aud his fellow Liberal 'membern are growing very tired of the recurrent calls for whitewashing votes. The Manitoba boundaries question is ugly, alike because of the substantial injustice done to the province most concerned, and because of - the impossibility of making any ��������� satisfactory defence for ife. Exploits like the persistent advocacy of the Sfc. Lawrence Power Transmission Company's designs on the Long Sault rapids havo weakened public confidence, The naval policy ignores the very thing which drove a reluctant admission into adopting it���������the apprehension that a danger threatens tho British Empire. .Departmental weakness such as that.shown in/_tho St. Peter's reserve sale ia' on" tho increase, confidence is being sapped in the government. The upshofe of these considerations is that from now on the administratioe of the public business is to take second place and the primary energies of the government are to be devoted to the task ���������of surviving. Almosfe the entire government is going electioneering. As is well-known, Sir Wilfrid Laurier is to tour the west, accompanied by Mr. Graham, Mr. E. M. McDonald the principal blocker, and Mr. Pardee, chief whip and champion of the St. ^ Lawrence Power Transmission company. Simultaneously, Mr. Oliver is to go west and devote attention to the wilder.and less accessible constituencies in the north. Eeports from the Yukon are so disturbing that ho will visit Dawson, though Mr. Templeman was. there lasfc year. It is also expected that next summer a third minister will make his appearance in that corner ol the country; so carefully are single constituencies being looked after. Mr. Templeman is to spend three months in organization work in British Columbia, where something evidently is urgently needed. In Ontario, Mr. Grahau aud Mr. King are to make another tourr with the'object'.of following Mr. Borden and seeking to lepsen the results he obtains. In Quebec, Mr. Lemieux is to make a round of the constituencies; while Mr. Fielding, ou his return from Great Britain," is expected to do some campaigning in Nova Scotia. That is a fairly good program for one summer midway between elections.' It shows that from.novy onward dominion politics will bo like those of Ontario prior to 19,05 or of New Brunswick prior to 190S. They will bo the death struggle of an administration. ,. f The Store that Sets the Pace. If Ton Want tha JB'eist'in 'Clothes The Style, the Materials, and ,the Fit of your Suit "will bo.
