THE LUMBER INDUSTRY. w.._m and on! - The lumber industry is one ot the - important hunches ot busi mMV c! which the provimm ot (fd'l1Tt messed. Trusty-live years. b w- t out, have elected a wendeTlul , any in this particular industry. h At that time timber was plentitul on . nearly every larm. and a severe l norm ot ice accompanied by a strong 5 wind 3 tew years later devastated tally all the woods, throwing an 1 immense amount at timber on the _ market. which had the ellect ot make in; lumber practically ealueless. tim- ber not being-worth more than the cost of the Labor to haul it to theI mill or market. At that time there! was no dithculty tn getting any re- quired number ol good lumber work- ers: There were plenty at them and ot the very finest kind, men whose {others before them had handled logs and who understood the work to per- lection. They would work hard for small wages, and were not at all par- tlcillar about their keep. But 'this has all been changed. The lum- ber bas to be made in what is known as the lumber woods, and saw mins) will soon be a thing ot the past in the settled parts at Ontario. It is dimcult to get the men in sutticient numbers. They want very much high- er wages tor a poorer quality of work, and they are continually grum- bling about their food and quarters. Ot course the winter has a great that to do with the lumber business. A hard, Hasty winter is always favor- ablc to the getting out ot lumber, while an open, changeable winter is the reverse. Last winter, for ilk stance, was a poor winter tor lum- bering and consequently lbe :upply is limited and prices firm. A steady, lrosty winter might to .1 certain tar-l tent make prices tor lumber easier; but it is evident. that the days of cheap lumber in Ontario are past. The wondei'lul consumption of the commodity, and the decimation of the forests. combined with dear labor, treight, and the small sized timber indigenous to our northern territory, all tonihine to keep the price of lumber high. This meansthat building operations will be eorrespon- dingly dear. .

The tatttters a Canada have tel come genuinely alarmed by the U-l gressive campaign carried on by the Manutactttrvrs' Association during the past " years with a View ot mating thr tarili made more Protec- diu- than it is now.

To-day we have an average tariti on dutiable goods about one and one-hall per cent. higher than it was when the protective tarili be- came effective.

It a halt is not at once called we shall fend conditions in this country similar to those prevailing in parts of Eat. rope, with a small class of wealthy barons at the top and serfs at the bottom-manufacturers being the barons and farmers the sells. That agriculture, with a capital in-) vestmen1 tour times the investment in manor.tcturing, should be the first care of our legislators is self evident. That the riled ot the him! has been to 1oster and stimulate manufactur- ers at the expense of our basic in, dustry can be easily demonstrated. In Manitoba, where agriculture is prc-emitwntly the industry at the pro- Pte, we tind that rural population shows an increase tor the ten years ending mm 1mm of 5 IN'r cent. less than the inert-use in urbnn popula- tion.

In Cantu as a - the rural increase was " per cent., while the increase in cities, towns. and villages was 8ti. And the same tendency is observable still, but. in a more marked degree. The report at the Bureau at Industries show: a do clinc ut taventy-sevmt thousand in rural population in Ontario between 1900 and ISM. white city and town population increased trom :aeren hun- dred and ttittety-trmr thousand to eight hundred and eitrtttr-seseis thous- and. In Manitoba, when population increased try l00,000 between 1900 and July last, about. eight-truths oi the increase was in eziirs and towns. This aggrandizement ol the urban at the expense oi the rural sections is an elleet ot protection. The pro- tection accorded by the taril! enables manutaeturers ot certain classes ol agricultural implements to charge Canadian consumers 35 per cent. more than the value of the articles manulaclured. The same protective taritt permits an overcharge ot M) _ to nearly " per cent. on woollen I goods and " per cent. on the cheap nvvrw -__"_ - . er lines ot tarm carriages. The "er- age rate of taxation on dutiahh goods in 1901 was 27.1 per cent., and to that extent, speaking broadly, Canadian ntumttacturers were enabled to overcharge Canadian consumers on purchases nude by those consumers.

STOLE MILLIONS OF San Francisco, Nov. 15.-h new investigation is progressing in the course ol developments in the local gralt scandal. It now appears that many sums or money. Large and small sent from dillerent states to San Francisco tor the relief of the earth-‘ quake and tire suiterers, never reached the relief committee. Some ol these amounts, which aggregated a large sum, were mailed to the care ot Mayor Schmitz. F. J. Heney, Detec- 'tive Wm. Burns, and about 100 gov- ‘ernment, agents have been making an investigation. President Roosevelt. is the moving spirit behind the enquiry and he declares that no man guilty of diverting the reliet lands shall es- the jurisdiction of the Federal au- cape justice. The cases come within thorities because at the inter-state character-oi the postal service, which it is alleged was criminally tampered with. V A considerable sum of money was also sent through the express com- parties and Wells Fargo, which com- panies are now investigating the dis- appearance ot $i0,580 sent in one package iron; the citizens ot Search- light, Nevada, which the relief com- mittee say they never received, and which the company says was deliver- ed to the representatives at the com- mittee to whom it was addressed. The crime ot [urgent is said to te included in the oliences of the raiders of the relief cotttrftnttions. It is said that in the aggregate the stenlings will amount to a million dollan. _ Galt, Nov. 15.1-Ald. J. H. Fryer, president of the Western Ontario Mu- nicipalitils Power Association, to- day gave it as his opinion than things were shaping splendidly tor Niagara power. The prices given by power commls- sion are considerably under first,rsti- mates ot commission, and these last agtrres are even then maximum fig- um. "The mice at power in Gall will range between "(i and tp', provided 2.500 horse power is tagent" was asked. Md. Fryer slated that the price in Guelph would be helwcen ll? and $20 and .itt Berlin between $15.50 and $18.50. . Difference in those prices is brought nhmt by the tact that less power has hum applied for in Guelph and more in Berlin than Gatt. 7 The 22nd annual nun-ling ot the Gm-lph Prestrytertat Women's For- eign Missionary Socivty was held in Chalmers ('lmrt'h.

Bredt, ot Regina, Dominion government inspector of agencies and lorcign colonies, accompanied by Mrs. Bredt, arrived in Victoria yesterday alter attending the New Westminster lair. ln the tall of last year Mr. Brendt visited the coast tor the benefit ot his health impaired by too close applica- tion to the arduous duties orhis ot- tice and made his headquarters in Victoria. The balmy climate oi this Island had its customary etttet and in a tew weeks Mr. Bredt was sum- ciently recovered to make many ex- cursions about the Island, taking notes at its conditions and adeanta- ges; and among other lunctious, he attended the Cowacttan Agricultural Exhibition at Duncans, where he act- ed as one- ot the judges, atterwards taking a sea trip up the west coast as far as Port Simpson. "My opinion ot Victoria and its surroundings," said Mr.. Bredt, "is sufticiettuy expressed try the tact that l havc taken the carlicst opportunity ot coming back again to spend my summer holiday with you and that I have brought Mrs, Bredt this time to share my enjoyment. I have this year repeated my west coast trip, this time extending it as far as Skagway. It is certainty the most picturesque country one could imagine. We were delighted and surprised at its grand- out, it is like several Norways in OBC, wonderful panorama. Among many other changes for the better that I noticed was that ot the improved con- ditions of travel. The boat in which we made the trip was commodious and comtortable, luxuriously fitted with the latrst improvemtts, with the additional "canmendatton ol good cuisine, and attendance, a good seatroat, a genial wmmander and pleasant. and capable oirtcers. We Enjoyed the Trip lmmtnscly. and were fortunate enough to have as tellow passengers, President Hayes ol the Grand Trunk Pacifte railroad. We had thus the chance to Visit. Prittceatupert. In my opinion it is an ideal location tor the terminus and the harbor is unsurpassed on the‘ coast. At present the hydrographicl survey is still incomplete and marie ers enter for the first time with nat- ural caution, but once having made the entrance they say that they would have no tear about entering at any time. While we were there the ‘weather was very stormy with. a nasty sea running outside. Inside. however, it Was perfectly calm, the position being Well protected Item the prevailing winds.
