All that the minister pro- fessed to know was that he made the contract and was to pay the bookkeepers their regular price. He did not ask what the price was, did not know whether the time of the men was checked, did not know that the bills were not certified, or that he had himself ordered payment of bills on which the $5 per day board charge was made. He had expected that the job would cost $20,000 to $25,000 instead of twice as Mr. Brodeur s deputy and accountant had no written contract to guide them. Neither he nor they have been able in a year and a half to nd out what the railway department paid ths same experts, though the minister said that he considered. this vavvJ vlalbl BVIJ 691 V rate the standard to be adopted. It is however discovered that the Mar- inc department had been paying a much higher rate. Meanwhile `Mr. Brodeur has found scape-goats". He has retired deputy minister -Gourdeau and suspended accountant Owens of his department. This book-keeping deal adds one more to the list of scandals which have made the `Mar- ine department notorious. ,, . much. . DR. J. CURRIE SMIT-H. OF- ce and residence, Collier street, Barrie.

Much of the land in Manitoba and Saskatchewan and Alberta has been prepared for seeding," the long open fall last year having enabled the_ farmers to do a greatdeal more fall ploughing than usual. The pros- pects are that a much larger area will be put under crop this spring. Thousands of new settlers will seed and other are increasing their culti- vated areas. The wheat orop will likely. be increased anywhere from ten to fteen per cent.,= but it is likely that the oat crop will be re- duced, owing to the fact that seed cannot be procured, and new settlers cannot aord to pay the price of i l lmanded -for good oats.

Constable -Savage, who was arrested here by Chief King on Wednesday of last week, in response to a telegram from Toronto, was taken_.down on Thursday by Detect- ive Mackie. The charge against him is having conspired with `Mr. T. J. Woodcock, former magistrate at Newmarket, to defraud the Province of certain sums of money in connec- tion with court proceedings. Sav- age was arraigned on Friday and pleaded not guilty, electing to be tried by jury. He was released on $500 bail. Before leaving Barrie, Savage told The Advance that his dealings with Woodcock had always been fair and above board. Wood- cock, he said, was in the habit of making out the constables accounts, and he (Savage) never took the trouble to check the items, as he re- \lied on the ' magistrate s superior {knowledge of the schedule. ll Two rinks of the Barrie Curling Club journeyed to Toronto on eThursday last and played a friendly match with some of the curlers who were up here the week before.A The game resulted in a victory for the Toronto players by six shots.

Mr. Macdonald s motion was re- jected by a vote of 320 to 73. The minority _'_\yas composed of Nationa- ylislts, Laborites and extreme Radi- ca s. Alluding to numerous references regarding the naval activity of Ger- many, Mr. Asquith recalled that the government did not witness with. ap- prehension a naval expansion which corresponded to the economic and advancing needs of that country . He added that there was the best reason to hope that the two peoples were advancing nearer and nearer to a complete mutual understanding. Mr. Asquith insisted that the naval pol- ?icy of Great Britain was purely de- fensive. Chan_cellor of the Exchequer As- quith said that the motion, it passed, would be considered a declaration th at the government had failed to re- deem its pledges. -He maintained that during the last two years the government had made considerable retrenchment in the army and navy expenditures without impairing the ghting eiciency. He added: Our naval position is one of unassailable supremacy. Such it must remain. The command of the sea is with us a matter of life and_ death. We must safeguard A it, not against imaginary dangers, but against all contingencies that could `reasonably enter intoathe calculations of a statesman. The government, therefore, believes it to be its duty to_ maintain our standard of relative naval strength. {early eseeding is _expec_ted.
