That sentiment, he believed, would llnd expansion in September next at the celelbnation, when the visitors from all Darts of Canada had nn op- portunity of seeing everything in ine Province looking so well, the scenery and the landscape, the nooks und the corners and the rivers fas- cinating and charming. The event wo`uld undoubtedly be the means of promoting the interests of the Pro- vince aud bringing back to its shores many ‘of those who left it ili

in the address reference was made tu the retum to Canada of the Duke und Duchess of Connaught. This wus, ns it should `j‘be. “Canada and its differulit lwovinccls had alwuys been noted for their loyalty to the flrit- ish Empire and had on all occasions given evidence of their respect to the representative of the King. About s vcnr ago the people of Canada sau' lit to e¥Dl'eHs their loyalty in ii more tnngible form when they voted tlie‘ mm el some elilmy-live million .lol-| lnrs for the building of first-class worships in order to_strcngthen l.lie` New of the Empire; but that nu- WIBH lwdy. the Liberal portion ui the Senate saw lit to veto the lznutter. t

_,AGRICULTURE

hlrtv vesrs’ experience that in the' history of the province last season was the most unfavorable to the' maintenance nf roads. These circum-' stances taken into consideration, tlief Government had every relisoli to be flrntifled. 'As soon -ns the snow was of the ground the roadmnsters wero at work with their own men and money and did wonders. He visited the diBlZl‘iCf- and found that thc road-| masters, with very little nid from

the Department, had made roads' which wcrc far better than he had anticipated. Under the admin stra-l tion of the Liberal Government, it was ii well known fact, the money; hat the farmers had paid in for the

"C'f\LLf<l;1S Lllllll_l.r

given to the teachers and they had equivalent supplements also given £0 them. Hut since that time, during the term of the last Government, those bonuses had been swept away, and that supplement to a large ex- tent had also been swept away. The consequence of the reduction bv the

muneration of the teacher was that the people lost interest and confid- ence and also began to reduce the teachers' salaries. The teachers themselves ,then lost confidence and many of the best of their teachers left the Island and' sought employ- ment elsewhere at that remuneration which they were entitled to but were prevented from receiving here thro- ugh the instrumentality of the Gov- ernment. Since that time the pre- sent Government had come into DOW- er, and immediately they had en- deavoured to raise the salaries of the teachers. _

FACTS INCONTROVERTIBLE.

They heard a great deal about ex-

cessive taxation‘ but he did not be- lieve that they were so excessively taxed as some people would have them believe. If they were compared with Other provinces oflthe dominion he believed that the probability was that their taxes would be found to be not as high as those of the other places. The Government had en- deavoured by perseveraiice hy tlictl and ability to accomplish n revenuel whch never existed before in this province. ‘He was not sure that be could attribute that to the present Government, ~hut he suid, and said it strongly, that at the head of ther Government existed a -gentleman wlio} in the face of the strongest oppos- tlon, could go to Ottawa and re- ceive $lfr‘),0fJ0 from the Dominion Governlment, and distribute it broad- cast over the whole country fur the benefit of the people. Those were facts that could not be controverted, The result had been that the teach- ers of this province, some six hund- red, had received the sum of $45,000 more in salaries. It mount a great deal to them. It meant something like $75 more to each of them. The

(From Our Own Reporter()

OTTAWA, March 18-The Canadian

Northern Railway interests will have to throw much more light on their operations during the last few years before they can. get aid from parlia- ment. Tliat is the situation as it stands tonight following a government caucus at which there was the freest possible expression of opinion on the part of Conservative members.

The Government forces li-unllly say

that they “ure from Miseourl.". Tbat they must be shown and in that they very largely reflect the general at- titude of the Government. The day when aid might be had for the asking is gone in Canada as far as the roll- roads are concerned. The ll. N. R.l has perhaps unwillingly cllailged pro- cedure ln this country. Wncu the ap- plication _f_or__a_nond_ _cllsrantee __ _was laid before the government a week or ten days ago there was :ln ilnmediate' request for n statement from the rail- way the press bureau of 'he McKen- zie Mann interests had it already and through the daily press presented a column and a half of figures end-

iing. In other days that would have probably turned the trick. ln this ili- stanre it had absolutely the opposite effect.

Individual members were not long

in analysing the statement and show- ing that it told nothing of the rail- \Vuy’s finances. Light., more light, was the cry. The MacKenzie Mann in- terests have been doling oilt informa- tion little by little. This did not satisfy and investigators were sent by the Government to the -bead offices of the (T. N. ll. at Toronto. They are still nt work there. Now it is found tliut to go properly into de- tails of thia great financial concern-

allled companies of one kind nlid an- other will take weeks if not months.

In addition to the financial mut-

ters to he cleared ilp there is also to he an inquiry into the physical condition of the road. The caucusl which was held today hacked the Gov- ernment to the fllllest degree in all steps tbnt would make clear the act-

ual situation with which parliament'

statements that skillfully told notli-`

must yet deal. What muny members

would like to know. and this was a sentiment heard at the caucus. is what are the Canadian Northern mug- nates really to do in this their emer- gency. W,ll Sir William MacKenzie and Sir Donald Mann put forward ,their own fortunes and holdings -ss security for the assistance thut they :now ask the country to furnish for Itheir greatest venture. [fi the Dom- inion is to be their backer to so large an extent what will they do them- selves? This is n View of the cuss that appeals to the lliirty very galler- ully.

Following up the caucus of tolluy

the Government will continue its ell- rluiry both here und at Toronto unll it is stated oil the highest uiltluirlty that tlicra wnllld bf- no immediate du- velopments ill the situation. Esti- mates of what the (lanadian Northern renlly ask vary but the general opiu- ion is that they require between forty und fifty millions yet to make their road whut it should he. The figures can give su idcli of tllc tremendous project which tile Government is cull- cd upon to face.

us well to the whole province st_ large. The Government, through its Department of Agriculture, which was so ably conducted bv his Hon- ollrable friend Mr. McKinnon. had certainly done s great deal for 112- rlculture since the present Govern- ment came into Dower, two years ugo. At that time things were al- together different from what they were now. It was true that the late Government had attempted to do something in aid of the ind-usl2\'Y.bl1t what they had done was entlrelv dif-| ferent to what the present was doin sr.- In fnct, all the agricultural lnsltruc- tion that over ths Llfhlsral party gave] to the farmers of this province was. what might be termed “imported in- structions." Most- ol the instructors. crime from Ontario, where soil ‘and climate and general conditions were ull different. The laws that they would lnv down there would he tota- llv unsuited to conditions which pre- vsiled here. To make the matter clear, be would state that he attend- cd some of the lectures given by these "imported" instructors and he rnrnembered that they laid consider- lible emphasis on the growing 0! ensilnke corn. The cultivation of that used to occupy a great deal ‘ time. That was not so today. During the past winter he had the pleasure of walking around his district with one of the present instructors. Tbat» Hentlemnn ' stated that had* lt. not been for ensllage corn the fllllrymen of Ontario would fare bad- ly; at the same time he went on to point out that this province was' ai- tozether unsuited to the growing of tlint corn. Now, if that knowledge had been ‘imparted to the farmers years ago, ‘as it would have been given to them if the instructors had received their 'training in ou_r own' province, many of the farmers w0\\ld have been seed money and labour. The Leader aI the Opposition thou- ght that the Government was not do- lfil the rigbttbing when he took the l

hon of this ovlnca from the short; courssi in _. .Igru o and establishing our nvvu couries here. He dflslreed entirely in f. ll matter. They did not

started with. The present Govern-'

ment had succeeded through -different delegations that had gone to Ottawa in obtaining a great manv concess- ions. In the first place, they had $l00.000 added to the sulildy, while another iiiportnnt vote was fourteen] or fifteen thousand dollars for public roads. They had obtained another, important concession, namely- direct communication between _our province and the mainland by the building of the car ferry, This was one nf the' most important things that tho Is-, land had got since Confederatloml and they awaited with interest the. inauguration- of the service, 'sincei it would he n mutter that would-I benefit the entire province. . Even to-| day the Liberals were sceptical that, the ferry would -become an sccompl-\ shed fact. He had n. conversation' with a Dart of them and he ‘had succeeded pretty well in convincing them that the ferry was not the im-I probable thing they would deceive themselves into believing it was.

Another matter touched upon by

the speaker was that,of branch rail- ways in the Island. I-Ie said that, communication from certain i>Bl`tB Of, the province to others was a matter' of supreme difficulty and he spoke| verv forcibly in favor of the estnb- lishment of branch railways. As soon as the cnr ferry business was oil the hands of the Dominlion Government, be concluded, he intended Bekins the members to sullllort him for all they were worth in gettin! Pffelulef Msthiesnn to approach the Govern- ment at Ottawa in reference to tho matter.

MR. J. H. BUNTAIN was the uelt sneaker. I-Ie said that he_had listen- ed with considerable interest and nt-

there had been need for that sort of thing, that the beneficial assistance given by the present Government was greatly laporclciatsd by the people themselves, From the increased vot- es made bv ,the Government for* the work, it wus evident that' the educa- tion of the country was being organ- izedin a yay that the people ap- preclsted.

Referring to the question of agri-

culture.. he miysht sav that some yearn ago when the late Qovernment were sending a ~ few pupils to the Truro college they thought they were doing a wonderful thing for agriculture. and so, perhaps, it was; but when they could educate their own y_oung men at home and get them addicted to their own soil and their own cliim ste, they felt that they could give them e. better education in the line of agriculture than they could -re- ceive at 'l‘i'uro. Under this Govern- ment there had been established long and short courses in svriculture. and courses in domestic science. and they found that in every wav the agricul- ture of the province had advancedin a way that it had never progresssd before. The proposal to establish an ovster mud dredge had been received with the greatest approval bv the farmers of the country and he knew that in his own district of the coun- try the fn.rmers_were hoping that the dsv would soon arrive when s simi- lar dredge would be put to work in their harbour and enable them -to get the mlissefl mud which was so beneficial to their soil. _ The member for Rustico went on to asv tlmfzho could not agree with the hon. Leader of the Opposition when he had stated that their road systerr. was s. bad one. It might not
