The Toronto 1lobe, the mouthpieos
Of the Laurisr government, attacks I ne
Grand Trunk In vigorous language for
making POI tland its sIl-ysar-round port.
Il declares that the company has virtual
iy removed Its terminals from MoIt cal
90 the Maine port, Notwithstanding the
fact that the government two yeare ago
granted 100000 of public money as a
contribution towards the Improvement
OF the Victoria bridge across the St
I.awrsnos.
"The Grand Trunk may persuade IL
self that It has given some public SER
vice for this public giant says the
Globe; "but It's action in going to lors-
fand looks 10 us as II the Dominion par
lament had smoothed the company'e
path in order 60 enable II to take itself
out OF the courtry."
4 The Globe, continuing, says Canada
is suffering seriously from handicap
By Its great railroads, from which it has
q right to expect better treatment; hut
the paper admits that sentiment mutt
not be looked for from corporations, and
that the philosophy employed by the
Grand Trunk Is no doubt sound.
In addition to these obstacles to regair-
ing lost ground. Montreal sees another
bugbsar, even more formidable that
Portland, because it appears on the
shipping horizon at q time when this
port can III afford to lose the trade.
A line of railroad has been built
with the aid Of public money, that fur
nishes a direct routs from Georgian
Bay to Quebec. The gathering ground
through which this line passes 10
productive one, ESPECIALLY In grain. Or
course, Quebec. where vessels and the
cargoes they load are exempt from
charges VIII get all this trade. Tie
dook improvements az the Ancient
Capital have been made with public
money on which no interest has been
paid, while Montreal does not enjoy
this immunity from taxation on its
financial resources.
Altogether the port OF Montreal is be-
ing hard hit from all quarters. 1t is
clsar to every one that the Grard Trunk
will now pus forth greater efforts to
divert from Buffalo TO Portland the
trade If Ontario which has gone to the
Atlantic that way, because OF tire grestsr

Lady (who has pestered artist with
questions for hours)-All your marine pic
lures represent the sea as being calm.
Why don't you paint storm once in

Auist-We painters in oil can't paint a
storm. I have often outlined storm on
the canvas, but as soon as l begin to
spread on the oil colors the waves sub
side, and the sea becomes as calm as a
duck pond.
Lady-Yes, I've read about the effect

small grain on we'll drained lands. In
some counties in the western the reports
chow that spring wheat seeding is near
ly completed; but several days of warm
and drying weather are needed to put
the soil generally in fit condition for TIL
lage. In the northern section frost is
not all out of the ground, and the sur
face is drying slowly.
The grasses are all in excellent con-
dition, and pasturage is likely to be
about as early as usual. The wet spring
has been especially favorable for new
meadows and fall grain. All reports in
dicate that fruit trees and vines are
healthy and the fruit buds uninjured
This season will afford many object
lessons as to the value of tile drainage.

Jenkinson finally got Rowley on the

be compelled to appear before the jus
