Notes and @lippings.

~The Gardiner (Me.) Daily New: says : “Let us manage to keep good friends with Canada and Great Britain until 1892. Our new uavy will be finished by that time,”

—Recent numbers of our pictorial con- temporary, the Dominion Iilustrated, are highly meritorious. Those for the 17th and 24th inst. are Wimbledon numbers, and will be prized more especially by our volunteers. . Those who have been at Wim- bledon will recognize the noted points of interest. Those who have net had an op- portunity of visiting the camp, will, from those illustrations, have a fair idea of the scene and its neighborhood. As the “* last Wimbledon” took place this summer, these numbers of the Dominion Illustrated should be preserved as souvenirs of a spot which has many happy associations for our brave defenders. The portraits of the team, with the Kalapore Cup in the adjutant’s hands, will be appreciated. The execution in every case.is excellent. Subscription, 34a year. Bound volumes for the two half years. ending with December and June last, respectively, are now ready. Address G. E. Desbarats, Managing Director of the Dominion Illustrated Publishing Co., 73 St. James Street, Montreal.

Stricken Dakota.

CROPS DESTROYED BY DROUGHT—-FARMERS DEPENDING ON PUBLIC CHARITY.

W. A. Webster, Dominion Immigration Agent at Kingston, Ont., is in Winnipeg. He has just returned from an extended trip through Northwestern Dakota, where he went toexamine the condition of the agriculturists and the state of affaira gen- eraily. He says he found things in a most deplorable way. While he was there, pub- lic meetings were held in Nelson, Ramsey aud Walsh counties to devise ways and means to relieve farmers in distress and carry them over till next year. In the western part of Walsh Cuunty alone there are four hundred families who will have to be assisted by public charity until next spring. The crops in the districts visited by Mr. Webster have been almost totally destroyed by excessive drought. To add to their troubles the farmers are sorely burdened by taxation, the rates ranging from 20 to 30 mills on the dollar on high valuation. Personal property is taxed to its uttermost value; a man’s watch is taxed, his scarf-pin and every nick-nack he has about him; old worn-out tools and implements, and every article that can be found on man’s premises are all included in taxable property. Mr. Webster says that with bad crops, taxes and mortgages, the farmers find themselves in such a sorry plight that there would be a general immi- gration to Manitoba if they could dispose of their holdings for as much as would give them a decent start here. Farmers whose property is mortgaged in Dakota cannot leave under the existing law, which is similar to the ‘* Man-on-the-limits” law that was at onetime in force in parts of Untario by which a mortgagee cannot take any of his property outside the county in which he lives under penalty of imprison- ment or heavy fine. A reeve who recently drove his horses outside the county in which he resided to transact some business was arrested, and he had to pay $100 to escape prosecution. A large proportion of the land in Dakota is held by specula- tors, who use their influence to keep up taxes on personal property in order to ease the taxation on land. With such things, says Mr, Webster, the life of the average Dakota farmer is thickly beset.

Artillery Inspection.

Tre annual inspection of Nos. 1 and 2 Batteries of Artillery took place yesterday afternoon. The men were first marched to Victoria Park, headed by the Artillery Band. There were present on parade Lt.- Col. F. 8. Moore, in command, Captain and Adjutant Morson, Surgeon Jenkins, Pay- master Hodgson; No. 1 Battery—-Captain

and 26 N. C. ofticers and gunners; No. 2 Battery—Captain J. A. Longworth, Lieut. Moore and 36 N. C. officers and gunners. The Inspecting Officer, who was. accom- panied by Lt.-Col. Irving, Brigade Major, was received with a general salute, Col- umn to the right was formed, and the arms, accoutrements and clothing were closely inspected and found in aplendid erder. The brigade then marched past in column by the right, quarter column by the left, and at the double, and formed line on the rear company on its original position. The marching past and other bri- gade exercises were very creditably exe- cuted. Various other company exercises were performed by both companies. The inspection in the use of the new 40 pr. R. B. L. guns took place in the Drill Shed. Four detachments were supplied by each company. Considering that the 40 pr. guns have only been used by our artillery- n.en for a few weeks, the proficiency dis- played in the various exercises was very creditable, and speaks very highly for the thorough drilling of the drill instructors. We understand that Lt.-Col. Irwin, the inspecting officer, was very highly pleased with the inspection. The band rendered some good music during the marching. Col. Moore and his officers and men are to be congratulated on the work done yester- day. We feel sure that they have main- tained their proud position as the crack artillery corps of Canada.
