It is interesting to know that in the Province of Ontario. Canada, there are over 10000 square miles of inland wa- ter stretches. exclusive of the Great Lakes and the River St. Lawrence. and nearly all lying north of Lake ontario in the Highlands of Ontario" These Highlands embrace the districts known as 'Muskoka," Lake of Bays" Mag. anetawan River" Lake Nipissing and the French River" "Temagami, Al gonquln Park" and "Kawartha Lakes" and are all reached directly by the lines of the Grand Trunk Railway, System. Speaking of the "Muskoka Lakes" re- gion, The Cleveland Leader in an article headed Builders revel in wilds of Mus koka." being report by their special stan representative of an outing which the members of the Builders Exchange of that city to the number of 200 enjoy ed in this lakeland territory, says: "A hundred Chatauquas rolled into one summer resort region would not conn pare with the Ontario Highlands" Summer cottages and hotels, pretty camps and hundreds of sail boats. and canoes passed ln panorama as the steamer 'Medora" steamed past scores Of enchanting islands"

JEFFERSON AND BLoUNT.
Reports on Two Counties Filed With
 Governor.

Reports on Two Counties Flied Wtth
 Governor.
 Reports on the books of Jefferson and BIount counties for the year end- ing July SI, 1905. were made to the Governor yesterday by State Examiner John T. German and his assistant Judge W. F. Wilkerson. Some large figures spelling the resources of Jeff ferson County are quoted from the books of the various officers.
 By the energies of Tax Commission CT thompson for the year indicated $6.- 4OI.47O was added to the assessments of Jefferson County in the shape of es- capes and raises of under valuations discovered by him. This means that on his account a total of $41,6O9o5 was added to the taxes for the State col lected in the most populous County in Alabama.
 From November 19, 1904. to July 31, 1905, there were l67 corporations orga- nized in Jefferson County representing an aggregate capital stock of $s,O57,- GOO. From these organizations Probate Judge Samuel E. Greene collected fees amounting to S5,675. For the same pe- riod the mortgage tax amounted to s24.046 and the licenses to S97,3694S
 Tax Collector Francis for the year under examination showed by his books that $332, ,s9O.56 worth of assess
 
 that he collected and paid to the State therefrom &319.S10,s3. The balance was allowed him by the State Auditor in his final settlement on a number or credits. The work of the tax collec- tor is highly commended by the eX- aminers.
 The total assessments for the year ending July 31 of 1905. as shown by the examiners report for the County of Jefferson were $51,21S,172. The factors in this amount are as follows: Real estate assessment, $34.645,17e; personal property, SI6,314.024; by the collector real estate, $129. .406; personal property, SS9,5e3; total. $21s,s6s; supplemented by assessor, $35,000; total assessment S51.2I3172 The books of this year show a total assessment of $53,SsS,S77 or an increase over the assessments for last year just given of $2,175,1O5. These figures were taken from the ap- proved books and accounts of Tax As sessor Mclaughlin.
 Of the $6,4O1,470 added by the tax comm! n!ssioner to the assessments for last year. $3.736.477 consisted of raises of valuations of property and S2,s64,ss5 were escaped property.
 The books. accounts and vouhers of ex- x-Probate Judge J. P. Stiles and the present Superintendent of Education Hon. L. w. McAdory. were reported as correctly kept by the examiners.
 Besides the State fund for distribu- ton through Jefferson County, there were collected taxes by local taxation amounting to S71.5Ss.49. This. together with the State quota, was disbursed in the county during last year.
 The valuations for tax assessment in BIount County, In the opinion of the ex- aminer who reported. on the books of the officers thereof, will be at least S25O, ,0O0 higher than last year. The books of the assessor indicate that the property of the county is given in at about 50 per cent of the actual valua- ton.
 The following are the officers of

time being and in so far as the deposi- tory reletes to the. schools of Montgom- cry. Whether they will be the perma- uent agents for tho desository Is not definitely known. It Is understood that they have taken the lease of Fowler and Company on the store quarters on Dexter Avenue and the books will be sold from that place as soon as the ar rangements can be made.
 Just how many sales to Southern counties have been made in tho last six weeks by Loveman, Joseph and Loeb of Birmingham. It is impossible to tell. without exception. however. the extra freight between Montgomery ana Birmin g ham was charged, and no doubt the publishers are this much to the good Hereafter the freight will not be charged by order of Superintendent Hill. It is believed that permanent arrangements will be made for supply ing the Southern Counties from Mont gomery fn time to avoid trouble. Governor Jelks, who is president Of the Nook Commission, was seen yester- day in reference to the default Of the rublishets. He said he had nothing to say about the matter. He recalled that Superintendent Hill Is the execu- tive officer of the Commission and that he would make public the details. These explanations will make 1t clear to the teachers aIad other people or Montgonery and other counties why they could not get books from the de- pository here for so long time rec~at- | ly. There are at least three agencies Tn | each county and they have no doubt been at a loss to understand the situ- ation. They had never been up against l if before They have done no business 1 at all through the local depository In | the time named, but what orders they did ret were forwarded to Birmingham after being informed time and again that n books were being sold from this city.
 By the Book Commission act which was rassed at the last session of the Legislature, the contracting publishers are comneIled to etab1ish not less than l two State Repositories. These deposi- tories are required to have three suo- depositories CT agencies in every coun" | ty, the Birmingham for the Northern
 part and the Montgomery depository for I the Southern part.
 The experienee just described was the fret hitch that has occurred In the new system which has almost universal I ly been praised. The outlook for re- adjustment seems good now as the pub 1 fishers have consented to pay the | freight on books between Montgomery
 and Birnin gham and the only inconve- | nience resulting at present Is the loss of a little time for shipment of books 1 from Birmingham to the Southern coun- | ties. Another thing is shown by the dis
 closures and that Is that the extra sales by Loveman, Joseph and Loeb this year which were taken by newspapers | in Birmingham to indicate proportion

DAY OF ATONEMENT
 TO BEGIN TONIGHT

The services tonight will continue until S;3O o'clock.
 In speaking of the day Dr. Newfield said yesterday:
 According to the Bible, Tom Kippur Is observed on the tenth of Tishri, which this year corresponds with October g. It is a day wholly devoted to the claims of religion. All worldly cares and business interests are to be laid aside by the ob- servant Jew, and from eventide to even tide he is to give himself over to thoughts spiritual and aspirations transcending all material aspects of life. Self-examination, purification and reconciliation Is the great concern in which the soul and mind of the Jew should be wrapped on this great day. The day of Atonement is to make men 'At-one-ment with his fellowmen and his God.
 Ancient custom and Biblical injunction also demand of the pious the total ab- stention from all food on this day, and this too is more largely observed even in our day than people imagine. If at no oth- CT time, on this one day of the year every Jew repairs to the house of God there to commune with his Maker and become reconciled with his fellowmen. It is the occurrence"
