the close draws nearer and the legislator who spends his morn ings in committee work and his after noon and evenings in the House feels that his time absorbed But it is the Cabinet Minister who just now has a particularly busy time of it The committees and the House demand from him the same time as they do of the plain member and in addition he has to attend Cabinet Councils meet deputations administer his department properly and when at all possible and sleep A good deal of business forwarded a stage during the week that has passed and as soon as- the committees have dealt with the bills coming before them morning sessions of the House will be in Hon Mr has moved the second reading of the bill for of the Beet Sugar indus try accompanying the motion with some interesting statistics Speak ing of the recent tests he said the highest yield was tons to acre on one the plots the sec ond highest tons at Newmar ket the third tons at The lowest yield was tons on a Wetland plot but the probable reason was not but because the farmer did not pay proper attention to the work The average yield for the whole was IS tons per acre which was certainly a very good yield A Newmarket plot led with 172 per cent of saccharine matter with and while the lowest was per cent at The highest per purity was at Aylmer while Newmarket followed with and and the average was Such re turns were eminently- satisfactory The average cost per acre was and the average profit on the yield was an acre It was thus estab lished that we could grow the beets satisfactorily but there was no mark et for them It required from to to operate a beet sugar factory and a large supply of water was an important consideration and so also was proper transportation facilities Ontario could produce 100000000 lb of sugar per year and to do that would mean that or which is now paid to other countries for our sugar would be in circulation hero In accordance with the policy of the Government to the resources of the Province the Govern ment had therefore decided to set apart per year for three years to be paid in bounties half a cent per pound for the first year quarter of a cent for the second and third years per ton to be paid the farmer the first year for all beets and for the other two years and such addition al price at the same time as would correspond to the proportion of sac charine matter above per cent Hon Mr has also moved a resolution praying for the establish ment by the Imperial authorities of a Canadian Remount Station It ap pears that Major fient dispaired of getting horses for the Imperial service in Canada but procured in all making the selection from over The horses gave excellent sat isfaction being particularly strong in wind Canadas export trade in horses which has declined and become practically stationary now shows an upward tendency Tile Government intends to do utmost to foster the trade The request of Toronto University for did will be met by the Government by the erection of a commodious and substantial building on College street for the science department of the uni versity The building will cost about and a preliminary vote for a portion this amount will be plac ed in the supplementary estimates of the present session No time is to be lost in commencing the erection building The motion of Mr Tucker Con to amend the Municipal Act so as to revert to the old County Council sys tem has been out in debate and defeated Premier Ross said tbe County Council Act was- largely introduced as an experiment There was under the old act a large over- representation in County Councils for the duties they had to perform He didnoVthltifc the educational advant ages of the County Councils by change If there were changes needed House could readily amend and modify the act as they did laws but It wait due to the dignity steadiness of the House that they should not proceed hastily One significant feature of the week was a breach- of accord between Mr Whitney and one of his lieutenants Mr over the habit of reading affidavits of irresponsible persons in the House Mr Carscallen spoke against the which was introduced by Mr Whitney and Mr Ross agreed Mr replied with some warmth that nothing had given him greater pleasure than the reading of the affidavits and the mat ter rested there and is of value mere ly as again showing the want of ac cord existing between the Conserva tive leader and those he is supposed to lead Hon Mr Davis has been made a member of the Special Committee on Mr Davis has amended his Volunteers Land Grant Bill
