Have you heard Hicks prediction
for March? Perhaps we'd best not
cross the bridge until we reach it;
however, for the benefit of our read
ers, we will state what this great
aud all knowing prognosticator
says: "March viii open with fair,
cold weather in the western parts,
while the storms starting the last
of February will be disappearing to
the east. The storm period be-
ginning about the 18th, win feel the
combined force of the Moon, Vul-
can, Mercury, Venus, Earth and
Jupiter, and this period will no
doubt, merge into the reactionary
storms due about the 18th and 18th,
making prolonged period of gen
eral and violent disturbances. Rain
storms amounting to floods in many
localities viii result Rapid change
to colder will follow the storm turn
ing the rain to sleet. A sweeping
blizzard in all northerly regions
need not cause surprise, winding
up with q very cold wave"

as they existed before the abolition Of paro-

Mr.. Martin a French Catholic member OF
the legislature, urged that tho government
should take immediate action, but Premier
Greenway protested, saying that the message
should be printed In order that all members
might know what they were dealing with.
Here the matter rested.
Meanwhile the situation grows more COM

OUR INDUSTRIAL REVIEW.
THE WORKING WORLD.
Improvement Expected With the Open
ing Of Spring Weather.

Industrial conditions have remained SEEM
sumptions have been almost unknowr, and
the evident increased activity that has been
noticeably for several weeks only continues
TO prevail. Evidence OF an enlarging volume
Of business, still exists, being felt In almost
every line, continuing TO fortel better condi-
tions In the future. Orders and inquiries,
both foreign and domestic, have not multi
piled to any degree during the week though
the average Is far above that OF year ago.
The reasons assigned for quietude that has
prevailed during the past week are numerous.
The approach OF spring has given an i'm
petus to general business, and as q result
there Is unusual activity In wholesale and
retail mercantile lines. which gives promise
Of continuing, and which will In the course
OF time strengthen the manufacturing and
Industrial interests. II cannot be said that
the outlook Tor the future Is less favorable
than 1t has been for some time past, though
the advancement, which may have been n
little too heavy and perhaps premature,
seems to have abated TO an extent No one
fears, however, that II 10 more than tempor-
ary or that II will be Of long duration, and
the coming two or three weeks are expected
TO witness greater improvements than has yet
been. and these, 1t is generally believed. will
continue.
Reports Of an increase in the volume Of
business come from all parts Of the country.
II is evident, however, that trade in general
Is better In the West than in the East, the re-
ports coming from many Western points be-
Ing Of most gratifying nature. 1t is be-
lieved by those who have their eyes open,
however, that as soon as moderate weather
begins TO prevail In the East there will be
marked quickening in the demand and that
business will again resume its normal vol
ume In all branches.
All factories that have been put In opera
tion recently and those In which the hours OF
work and the number Of men employed have
been increased continue to run, the demand
for manufactured products corresponding
with the output where there is no increase.
