There seems no reason whatever why these provinces should not raise--and before many vears have passed over our heads--pa surplus of 10,000,000 quarters. The difficulty in the way of making this portion of the empire the granary of the world lies not in the capacity of the soil--that, indeed, provided suffiei- ent labor were obtainable, could doubtless yield sufficient wheat for all Europe--as in the present inadequacy mensity ready been accomplished or the unrest- ' KINGSTON BRANCH 107 PRINCESS 8T.

Bill of Dr. Ross, of Kingston, Re- garding Purchase of Bridges Was Given Second Reading in the Legislature, Toronto, Feb. 28. --Sir James Whit- ney read to the house yesterday the text of the order in council 'of the do- minion government containing provi vision for access to Hudson Bay for the Temiskaming & Northern Ontario railway. In a brief explanation of the order the prime minister stated that Ontario was to be given a strip of territory five miles in width running from the proposed mew boundary of Manitoba to the Nelson river and terminating in a half-mile strip along the ; east shore of the Neilson river, This will provide room for docks, teyr- minals, and elevatofs. Should the government decide to extend the line to Fort Churchill, Ontario is to re ceive an additional strip two hundred feet 'wide from the Nelson, river to the nearest point on the Hudson Bay rail- way, the dominion government agree ing to running powers over that line to Hudson bay. The strip from the boundary to the Nelson river will be transferred to On- tario either by grant or by statute upon the provincial government mak- ing known the location preferred, pro. iding that location is not more than fifty miles from the shore of Hudson Bay at any point. The progress on several public bills was advanced 'a stage. A second reading was given to A. E. Ross' bill to amend the municipal act to enable municipalities to purchase outright bridges built by private corporations in or near the municipality. To prevent counties sending their sick to hospitals and not contributing anything to'the support of the inst;- tutions, Mr. Donovan had his bill to amend the charity aid act sent to the Municipal committee. Mr. Hanna stated that the principle involved was good, and should go to the committee for the donmsideration of certain de tails. Hon. Mr. Foy, in moving the second reading of his bill respecting money. lenders explained that the measure followed closely the provisions of the English act, which was prepared after an investigation by a select commit tee of the house of commons. The same reasons which obtained in Eng- land for the passing of such an act exist in Canada, and there was an urgent need for the legislature to interpose with the view of removing the evil in money-lending transactions, which frequently owed their inception to misrepresentation of a fraduulent character, Hon. Dr. Reaume's bill to provide another million far county road sys- tems was read a second time. Ld C.N.R. TO BAY OF QUINTE.
