From the first apd Tipping Review, a publication opposed to all forms of gratuities, we take the following paragraphs bear- ing on the situation: "When, then, the United States Shipping Board found that some cap- tains, mates, stewards and others on vessels taken over hy the board were accepting commissions ' on orders they placed for goods needed on the vessels, the practice was character- ized as commercial bribery and or- dered stopped, and it was stopped. | When the United States Railroad Administration took over the rail- roads and found that sleeping car porters depended upon gratuities for from, one-half to three-quarters of their compensation, nothing was done to disturb the practice." It is not imagined that Ottawa has any answer to such a simple and di- rect question. Probably it will be grandly dismissed as a minor prob- lem . A refusal on the part of the public to give tips anywhere and at any time would quickly eliminate an evil that is closely associated with insidious forms of commercial brib- ery "higher up." : THE SAGUENAY DISTRICT. In the Canadian National Railways 0 80 Magazine for March H. K. Wicksteed, chief locating engineer, has a very interesting article on the industrial development of the Saguenay dis- trict and its pulp and paper industry in particular. "The Saguenay," he states, "is a deep canyon cutting down to and be- low sea-level, and having the great expanse of Lake St. John availabla as a storage basin and regulator. This river was recognized from the earliest times, as being, next to the Ottawa, the greatest waterway of the east. Jacques Cartier made his first landing at its mouth, and founded the little church at Tadousac, Which still stands. The Jesuits soon built a mission there. About the same timo, the fur traders found their way up the Saguenay, and at the close of the seventeenth century the Hudson Bay Company had several posts along its banks. ! As early as 1760 the ploneer spirits of Quebec established little settle- ments on Lake St. John. Following the settlers came the rallways-- three lines were built through the district. Yet, despite the industry of the people, the wealth of their forests and the fertility of the soll, they pro- spered comparatively little because of their isolation. "Then came the pulpwood era and the establishment of great mills at Ouiatchouan, Chicoutimi and Jon- quiere. With the war came the in- creased demand, and following the demand the higher prices; the coun- try began to boom." Farms rose in value from $20 an acre to $200, vill- ages like Chicoutimi became import- ant = towns, concrete buildings, churches, banks and hotels were built. The earnings of the Quebec and Lake St. John Railway, one of the Canadian National Railways' component factors, have been trebled, and so rapidly is the population and wealth increasing that, in another year or two, this line must be im- proved or supplemented. ""The expansion of the pulp indus- try means the development of water- power, and in this respect the Chicou- timi district is gifted beyond pro- bably any other equal area so far opened up." The Saguenay river drops 300 feet in a few miles from Lake St. John, and numerous streams snd rivers tumble head over heels from great heights into the lake and river chasm. With millions of horse- power available, other manufactures should develop in the district. Sir Lomer Gouin, premier of Quebec, in his recent utterances on the import- ance and magnitude of the pulpwood industry in Quebec, emphasized th2 need for manufacturing the raw ma- terial in Canada, instead of export- ing it to the United States. "Consider the combination: a sea- port as good as, say, Quebec, and nearer to the Atlantic, an enormous aggregation" of waterpower within fifty miles, 1,000 square miles of the best agricultural land, much of it al- ready under cultivation, peopled by some 60,000 thrifty and industrious Canadians, and traversed for its en tire length by a modern railway. Be- yond the settlement, hundreds of miles of forest wilderness and, in all probability, considerable mineral wealth, and a very healthy even if somewhat rigorous climate. Taken all in all, there are few more pro- mising localities in the world than the neighborhood of Chicoutimi.

This means the shoes not the price, Meanwhile Coal Soars. {Buffalo News) Much of the antagonism between labor and capitil comes of suspicion about profits, The campaign in favor of nationalization rests upon the notion that labor earns more than it is paid. Nothing will do more to encourage nationalization propa- gandists than for operators to in- crease prices unreasonably. It is not out of regard for the public that the miners protest but out of regard to themselves. They get a wage in- crease of twenty-seven per cent.; the operators add perhaps two or three times as much to the price of coal; the miners are disgruntled in face of this because they did not get the full sixty per .cent. increase they de- manded. J The Reason Why Why Do Birds Go South in Winter? We know why birds go south in the winter. The necessity of find- ing food to live upon has everything to do with that. As food grows, scarce towards the end of summer | in the farthest northern places where birds live, the birds there must find food elsewhere. They naturally turn south and when they find food, they have to divide with the birds living there. The result is that soon the food' becomes scarce again 'and both the mew-com- ers and the old residents, so to speak, are forced to seek places where food is plentiful. So both of these flocks, to use a short term, fly away to the south until they find food again and encounter a third flock or group of the bird family crowding the locality and exhausting the food supply. 86 in turn each flock presses for food upon the one in the locality next further to the south until we have a general movement to the south of practically all the birds until they reach a point where the food sup- ply is sufficient for all for the time being.

' The Strathcona Horse. On the 10th of April, 1900, the SS. Monterey, with the Strathcona Horse, arrived at South Africa with the dashing horsemen of Canada, who had gone to the assistance of tha Motherland in her fight with the Boers of South Africa. Sh@ had cleared from Halifax on the 17th of the previous month. The horse was a gift to the empire from Lord Strathcona, who raised and equipped the troops for service, The unit was composed of some of the finest horsemen.and best shots of the western plaips gathered quick- ly by the authorities for a blow at the enemy. The vessel was hardly out of sight of land at Halifax when many of the 599 horses on board became sick, and by the time Cape Town was reached the 647 officers and men on board had lost 163 horses by death and accident. "I guess we'll be Strathcona's Foot by the time we reach Africa," was the laconic view of one trooper, who expressed, how- ever, the fear of the lot as the voy- age continued. Excitement was created on an- other occasion by an alarm of fire. But there was no panic among the men, with whom their commander, Colonel Steele, worked as hard as anyone. When the transport arrived {at the port .the men were supplied with new mounts, and in a short time they were ready to take up the pur- suit of the Boers, who were begin- ning to see the end of the struggle far as they were concerned. The unit made a glorious name for itself ji the engagements they fought, and established a reputation in' the ranks of the foe for being deadly shots with the rifle. Object to Sunday Sport. Boston, Mass., April 10. -- The New England conference of the Me- thodist Episcopal Church yesterday adopted resolutions opposing local acceptance of the legislation pro- viding for Sunday sports. A com- mittee of ministers appointed by Bishop Hughes later presented the protest of the conference at a hear- ing before Mayor Peters on ratifica- tion of the law by this city. Speakers urged a similar action in all other communities in the States. Many men seem to commence in the middle to make both ends meet. -- CHEW A FEW--STOMACH FEELS FINE! At once!
