MILLIONS FOR AGRICULTURE. TF CANADA can spend 35,000.000 on battleshps, surely she can afford to spend 5,000,000 for agricultural educa- tion, said Hon. Duncan Marshall, minister of: agriculture for Alberta, when speaking at-luncheon at the Fat Stock Show at Guelph the other.day. Even Duncan s bit- terest enemy must admit that in that sen- tence he uttered a truth that every Canad- ian must recognize. As Dr. Clark remark- ed in his speech on the naval question, the farmers of Canada will pay the great bulk of the 35,000,000 that the Borden Govern- ment proposes to hand over to be spent ou battleships. are losing millions every tignorance and no one knows this better than the farmers themselves. able interest is taken where opportunity is afforded .to make use of any educational facilities placed at their disposal but there jare not enough of them for all who want to learn the proper op, ity. Five mil- lion dollars in addition to what is already being spent is not too much to allow the farmers of this country full opportunity to become better acquainted with the beat methods of agriculture in all its branches.

The boys of the mountains came to know about that treasure house and when the Scouts were away at school or in bed at home, they d descend ,on the place and pretty well clean it out. The Boy Scouts were for reprisal at first until one of them, remembering the en- deavor of the organizers: to keep the mili- tary idea subdued, suggested that they might stop the business by inviting the now given-in that vicinity that any one who robs, molests or otherwise mistreats a Boy Scout will have to reckon with the whole kith and passel of mountain young- No, Arrive Leave Train-and Terminal, 2 8.00 20 Impy Ltd, Vancouver to Momesal. 20.03 20.30 Teronte Exp, Vancouver to: Toronto uu 1.15 440 Seattle-St. Paul Bxo.

The information has been compiled by an eastern journal and is said to be authentie. British Columbia has spent in the last mm years approximately 15,000,000 on roads and bridges, and for the three years 1912-14 the expenditure of an equal amount is contemplated, or an expenditure of about 5,000,000 a year. Alberta has made a special appropriation of 1,,000,000 for a central north and south trunk: road, in addition to the usual 250,- 000 for eurrent revenue. Saskatchewan has-made a special ap- propriation of 5,000,000 for trunk roads, of which 1,500,000 is being spent this year, in addition to the usual 400,000 from cur- rent revenue, At the Jast session of the Manitoba legi lature a highway act set aside 200, 000 an- nually for provincial aid to main roads. A. Good Roads Act relating to the minor roads requires townships improving them to submit plans to the provincial authori- ties and upon approval may era ay oon debentur tures may be purchased or guaranteed by the Drea government, Oni for colonization roads in Nort tern Onatrio this year about 250,000. Local municipalities are spending each year about, 1,100,000 days of statute labor, and 1,400, 000 in. cash. In 1911 the ex- enditure under the highways improvement. act was 711,000, of which the province con- tributed a third. Quebec has borrowed 10,000,000 on forty-one-year bonds, enabling municipali- ties to borrow from the fund for the -same term on 2 per cent. interest. Three provin- cial highways aggregating 350 miles. in length-are being built, the municipalities paying toward the cost gl, 000 per, mile. New Brunswick appropriates annually 100,000 for roads, but a new road measure is promised for the eoming legislative ses- sion. Noa Scotia spends about 250,000 an- annually and the counties levy a statute labor tax: amounting to about 250,000. Prince Edward Island, where two cities are the only municipal organizations, spends annually maintaining earth roads. Thus for a total of 250,000 miles the pub- lie highways in the nine provinces the pro- THIS DAY IN CANADIAN HISTORY DECEMBER TWENTY-ONE.

The court found that i I problem in Canada to-day. Farmers proctor aid tot take the proper measures for conduct- ing the retreat, that in Many instances he had been erroneous in judgment and in some ways deficient in those energetic and active exertions which the extraord- inary difficulties of his situation so particularly requir- ed. (One of these difficulties was that, his whole force of white men and Indians was outnumbered by the army of his opponent Harriton in the proportion of more than three to one.) , The court acquitted him as to any defect or reproach of his personal conduct, but he was sent- enced to be publicly reprimanded and to be suspended from rank or pay for six month . A great omission on his part appears to have been neglect to burt the bridges bebind-him. The historian, Hanney, however, maintains that he was unjustly condemned. Reinstated, he served again before the end of the war, and ultimately rose to the rank of lMeutenant-general. EMILY P, WEAVER. THIS DATE IN HISTORY.
