The post-office savings bank system has been in operation in C'almad. ever since the year 1.567. A: first the savings banks were limited in their operation to me Pro- vinces of Ontario and Quebec. In 1835, however, the system was extended to the Provinces of Nova. Sauna, and New Brunswick, and now there are post- oflice savings banks in an the pro- vinces, distributed as follows: Ontario, 448; Quebec, 1:23; Nova. Scotia. 48; New Brunswick, 34; Manitoba, :5; British Columbia, 23; Prince Edward Island, 8: and the Territories, 22, making a. total of 731. Under the provisiv-n of the original act no depvsit must. be 13.; than $1, and by an order-of-L-Lu iii-ii of 1891 no d-epoist’ must exceed sum, in any one year. neither must the total deposit I- 7 {exceed $3000 C4\\.b»kn V vvvvv Government savings banks under the management of the Finance Departâ€" mom. have been esta‘niidied in the Mariiime Provinces. and in Manitoba and BritIsh Columbia. In these banks deposits to the extent of 51000 are al- lowed. Under his system there are 35 offices, viz., 22 in Nova, See-Lia; 2 in Prince Edward Island. 1 in Onz‘uario, 1 in Manitoba. and 1 in British Colum- bia. Last year theme were 54,932 de- positors. with $17,644.956 «m deposit, Arrangements have been made for the transfcr of the GOVOI‘DITIUHL savings bank in each province to the» Postâ€" office Department as the posiLion c: superintendent in each placvu new“ vac-ant In both thesa 01213ch at swings banks the rate 01' interest paid \V'd-a formerly four per can:.. but in 1S8!) it was reduced to 3 1-2 per cent. On lst April, 1868, the Post-office sav- ings system was introdtrccd with 31 offices. In three months there were no less than 2102 depositors. who had made 3247 deposits aggregating $3M" £89. I n 1870 there \‘were a million and a half dollars on deposit; in 1875, $2.- 926.090; in 1335, 15,090,510, and in 1895 $28,803.54: Add to this $17.644,956 on deposit In other Government savings banks and 313129.483 in spacial savings banks. and it will be seen that in 1895 the people of Canada had deposfited in sav- ings banks alone (apart fr0m deposits in chartered banks) the sum of $57.- a7s,931,"or nearly $12 per head of popu- lation.

Topics of Traffic. In the forests of the Bridal Veil Lum- bering Co. at Bridal Veil, Ore., not far from The Dalles, there is a, railroad which does business without cars. An article in the Northwestern Lumber- man, describing the work of this com- pany, has a. picture of a “train” on the road, which consists of an ordinary locomotive. such as are common on logging roads, and a string of logs, each log being as large in diameter as the boiler of the engine, or larger. Boards are nailed to the sleepers be- tween the rails and on these the logs slide. Except on descending grades, the boards are greased, and the train moves at good speed. Where the road iis level or slightly ascending the en- lgine pulls the logs, and where it is de- scending it holds them back. At the ‘mills of this company the manufactur- Ied lumber, regardless of size, is run. into a. flume and this is carried about ‘two miles to the planing mill and ship- ping yard, the fiume descending in that distance about 1200 feet.
