Lumber men of the northwest COM
plain that syndicate of Canadian
capitalists are obtaining control of most
of the timber of that region. They have
already acquired possession of moro than
50O,00O,000 feet of pine lumber in
Northern Minnesota, and are making
arrangements to gobble up the rest OF
the vast timber belt on the northern
slope of the state. This tract is occu-
pied by Indians, and the clause in the
sundry civil service bill, providing for a
commission to treat with them for their
removal to the White Earth agency, it is
charged, was secured directly in the

The Russian government has published
some surprising stltistics about Siberia
as a penal colony. From 1884 to 1884,
it appears nearly one million men and
women were sent to that bleak country
as convicts and political exiles. Between
1868, the year of the Polish rebellion,
and 1878, $4,000 were sent, while the
army of exiles deported under the short
reign of the present Car foots up to the
enormous total of 146, $50 souls. Women
form one-ffth of the total lumber. As
most of them are over forty years of age
very few marry, and to make matters
worse marriage is prohibited for the rirst
five years of exile. The escapes during
the past twenty years have averaged
twenry-four per cent, despite the costly
guarding of the prisoners. Two-thirds Of
the crimes in Siberia are committed BY
the exiles, and because of this and OF
their misery and of the numerous es
capes, to say nothing of the enormous
expense, the government is reported to
be seriously considering the advisability
of abolishing the present system of ST.
berian deportation. Little wonder that
the Bulgars refuse to be absorbed in an
imperialism which Furnishes free speech
with exile to Siberia and slavery in the
quicksilver mines.

sThe breeding and rearing of horse

'The breeding and rearing of horses
for general purposes of business and for
army uses in foreign countries, says the
New York Times, Is one of the most prof
liable pursuits of the farmer at the pres
ent time, and indeed, permanently, for
the demand now existing for such horses
will always exist and increase. The
British Government has recently sent an
agent to Canada to purchase large
number of horses for its army. The value
of these horses is from $3.50 for cavalry
to $1s5 for artillery and draft animals
the weights required for the former be-
ing ! ,0CO to 1850 pounds, and for the
latter LOO to 1,4OO pounds. But it is
said that very few horses were found
suitable for the purpose, large proper
tion being rejected for unsoundness
caused by breeding from unsound mares
or sires, and because Of the untitness in
form and character due to the use of the
large .boned, heavy, and coarse breeds
now so popular. These are entirely un-
fit for the saddle and for quick action,
hence the search for horses in Canada
was almost wholly futile"
