An Ottawa despatch says that the Do
minion government is about to make tie
tcrmined effort to induce all or portion ut
the Canadians residing in the United States
to return, and for that purpose parliament
will be asked to make a substantial appro-
priation. The Dominion authorities are
now said to have a large number of agents
working among the Dominion colonies in
this country who report that a free eNpend-
iturc of money alone can start the desired
tide of emigration from the United States
towards the Dominion. 1t may be very
much doubted whether these agents of the
Dominion government are not very much
mistaken i'm the impression that this tide of
immigration from the Dominion to the
United States can be turned back, even if
the Dominion government has money to
use for that purpose. There has recently
been a good deal of important testimony
taken as to the tide of immigration from
Canada to the United States. 1t has been
estimated that the immigration from the
Province of Quebec to the United States is
something like & per cent of her entire pop
ulation. Mr.. MERCER says that there are
1000, 900 Frenchmen in the United States
and only l,200, 600 left in Quebec. The
railroad companies of Canada estimated
for the past year that about l2j, 600 French
Canadian immigrants came from Quebec
alone into this country, which would he
about 10 per cent in a single year of the
population. 1t is said that the government
statsticians denied that, but conccde about
$4,000. which would be about six per cent
1t is a fact that the exodus from the Domin-
ion to the United States is alarming to that
government

IN THE LOCAL FIELD.
BELLOWS FALLS.
Dynamite and the Log Drive.


Good water has helped the log men won
derfullv this season and less trouble has
been experienced than ever before. The
week rain was Il great thing for the drivers
because it raised the river several inches.
There is little trouble at the Falls now
and then. but so far nothing serious.
When the logs jam it only requires dyna-
mite cartridge to break the mess, some
what safer method than cutting 1t ont with
an AK as was formerly done. II is enough
to make one catch his breath to see log
man run out ON the jam with triple car
fridge in his hand and look for the key log.
When that is found he fastens the cartridge
to a board or pole, lights the fuse and gets
out of the way. In few moments comes
deafening explosion. The heavy timbers
are splintered and 90 grinding and crush
ing down the channel, humping against
rocks and each other, and the channel is
cleared once more. Two 2000-candle arc
lights hang near the falls, so workmen can
see by night as well as by day. 1t is thus
the week goes on all through the "a hours.
Every little while the defamation of blast
tells jewellers in the immediate vicinity that
another jam has been broken.
