The demands for water at Seaside
has increased to such an extent that
the present system is inadequate to
supply all consumers, and at the meet.
ing of the common council held Friday
night an ordinance was passed providing
for the issuance of $1,000 additional
water bonds to tap another creek, about
a quarter of mile south OF the present
reservoir. Water mains will be laid
from the creek to the reservoir and when
completed there will be sufficient to
supply a city of ten thousand inhabi-
tants. The water system has been a
big advertisement for Seaside and re-
suited in the building of large number
of new residences and business houses.

HAPPENINGS IN CANADA.
Dominion Likely to Start an I''sur-
ance Investigation.

Ottawa. Oct 10 (SpeciaD-The Canadian people
will in all probability have an insurance inVestlga-
ton of their own. The revelations IN the Unlted
states have, given rise TO the that Irregularities
may exist in this country, and when Parliament
meats again there is almost certain to be demand
for an inquiry of sort. 1t Will probably take
the form of a committee OF members OF the House,
with power to summon witnesses. A committee of
this kind last session probed the affairs of the ele
phone companies doing business in the country. and
although no definite report has yet been made the
big companies have been made 20 feel that unless
they give cheap and satisfactory service the ma
tionazation Of the service may be seriously con-
sidered.
The insurance revelations have not appreciably
shaken the confidence of the Canadian people in the
home companies and they have the assurance of
the government Superintendent Of Insurance that
the business is being carried in manner to
the interests of the policyholders. Never
theess. the pocyholders, and proba bly,. in the ma
jority OF cases, the companies themselves. would
feel better satisfied to have searching inquiry
conducted with the least possible delay. Until this
is done there viii be a feeling of some uneasiness
on the part of the public. which will detrmentally
affect the business.
The retirement from the Cabinet of Sir William
Unlock. who has filed the dual post of Postmaster
General and Minister of Labor for several years
has caused great surprise throughout the Dominion
Sir William was supposed TO have ambitions to
some day succeed Sir Wilfrid Laurier Premier
of the Dominion. but by his retirement he has made
it certain that in the of the Premier dropping
out he will be succeeded by w. S. Fielding, the
capable Minister Of Finance. III health is given as
the cause OF the retirement of the Postmaster Cen
eral but it is hard TO reconcile this with the
statement that he will take seat on the bench.
It is said that Sir Williams somewhat radical
views and his open advoccy of public ownership Of
utilities We're the cause of some friction with his
colleagues but he maintains that he leaves the
Cabinet with the keenest regret and on the best
possible terms with the other Ministers.
There are many matters in connection with the
administration TO which Sir William can look back
with pride He succeeded in producing a small
surplus out of a department which years ago
had annual deficit of nearly S10GnOOO, and was
partly responsible for the adoption of the scheme
for penny postage within the empire. During his
regime the domestic postage rate on letters was
also reduced from three to two cents. In the field
Of politics. both imperial and Canadian his achieve
ments have been remarkable compared with
what the average Minister succeeds in accomplish
ing.

NEW ROUTE TO ALBERTA.

report has been received by the Canadian gov
eminent from Major Moody, who is in command
of the police posts in the Hudson Bay district.
The major says that it would be possible ship
Of considerable size to go right through Chester
field Inlet to Baker Lake, 81 distance Of about four
hundred miles to the westward OF Hudson Bay.
The natives told him so. and it is expected that
this route viii be taken advantage Of to establish
connection with Edmonton. the capital Of the new
province of Alberta, by way OF Great Slave Lake
and the Athabasca River.
OF the natives the major says that as far as he
has been able to ascertain, there are four tribes
the west side of Hudson Bay, viz; Keneepa-
toos. Ivilicks NetChiliC6s and Igulicks. Of these
the first two the most civilized and the best
workers. The rising generation is not so much
imbued with the superstitions OF the red men, and
If taken in hand by the government these false
notions could be eradicated. Major Moody has this
to say to the feasibility of the navigation of
Hudson Bay and Strait
From my two years experience / think that there
should be danger TO any well built, well cngned
steamer coming into Hudson Bay early in July.
Possibly she might be delayed somewhat by zee if
the wind were continuous from the northeast, but
would not be in any danger. IN my opinion, the
south side of the strait is the best for steamers
coming in. For sailing vessels the north side is
generally preferable.

SOME ALARM OVER FINANCES.

Some little alarm IS being occasioned in Canada
over the finances Of the country as outlined in the
Finance Departments statement for the last fiscal
year. The figures not nearly so satisfactory as
the public led to expect they would be bv the
budget speech of w S, Fielding, delivered toward
| the close OF the last session of Parliament.
The present administration came into power soon
after the country had commenced to recover from
the general depression of the first half Of the last
decade of the nineteenth century. As a conse-
ouence there has been e buoyant revenue and the
government has had the satisfaction OF pointing to
an unparalleled series of SURPRISES. In fact the
administration far has not had a single deficit;
but the figures for the last year seem to indicate
that the buoyant revenue is fast being overtaken
by buoyant expenditure, which promises to
grow still moro rapidly when the government actu-
ally begins work the transcontinentaI rail-
way, which must be completed within the five
years.
Last year there was a nominal surplus Of over
100000 but, the debt of the country was in
creased by over 100000 during the same period,
this does not leave much OF margin to go on.
row heavily in financing its new rsiIway proiect
and that the debt of the country viii be considera
The friends Of the government point to the fact
that the country borrowed heavily construct the
pOrtant public works in the past, and that there is
no reason Why the same course Should not be
adopted again. Their line of argument is that pos
terity will profit by these works, and should help
to pay for them. While the reasonableness of this
attitude is admitted there is disposition to think
tndt. with a revenue that about doubled size
during the past decade, there IS not the same ex-
cuse for borrowing, even for great national under
takings. there in the days of financial srin-
gency. s-.--.
The knowledge that every dollar of revenue avail
able will be required for public works in the near
future has made the action of the members Of Par
lament in voting themselves an increase in their
seasonal indemnity of $1,000 particularly open to
criticism. This act of the members has been cen
sured by the press of all political shades and If an
election were to take place within year it would
result in almost complete change in the per
sonnet Of the House But with the elections four
years away, the legislators live in hopes that the
people will during that time become accustomed
to the idea Of higher salaries for their lawmakers

A NEW SILVER CAMP.

Canada's new silver camp, at Cobalt, Ont, con-
tinues to be the scene of great deal of
excitement This rich mining district is about 325
miles directly north of Toronto. Although ii is
said that the richest claims have been staked
out prospectors from as far north the KlOndke
TO as far south as Mexico. continue to arrive. in
the hope of being able to strike rich find Of silver.
Hundreds of amateur prospectors are wandering
over the country for miles around, and what was
less than year ago dcsoIate wilderness is to-day
the centre of seethng activity.
So far only a limited number of the claims have
been worked any extent, but il is estimated that
shipments OF ore to the smelter at Jersey City.
which commenced early in the summer, have so
far Welded about 100000 As result OF the dis
covery of this silver district Canada this year
becomes the third silver producing country in the
world the United States and Mexico being the
only countries 70 produce Of the white metal.
