Lord Strnthconn, high comitiltmion er for Canada In London, has given out a statement received by him by cablegram from the minister of the Interior at Ottawa, which speaks of an extensive deposit of copper found In New Ontario, the district being about four miles from Larder Inke, which Is to the north of Lake Temls kamlng. This statement contained the following: The rapid Increase In value of real estate In wester'n Canada Is shown by the fact that an an auction sale of school lands (I. c., those reserved for sale and the proceeds of which are devoted to educational purposes) at Brandon, Manitoba, the average price realized was $17.11 per acre. Build ing permits Issued In Winnipeg dur ing the present year will, according to present estimates, aggregate $12,600. 000. The tonnage of ocean vessels enter ing the port of Montreal down to No vember 1 was 1,795,000, as against 1. 759,639 tons for the corresponding period last year, showing Increased tonnage for this year of 35,4 51 tons. Inland waterway trade also shows a decided Increase, the number of Inlnn.l craft coming Into this port since the opening of navigation to November 1 was 11,179, while for the same period hut year the number was 9,939, or an Increase this year of 1240 vessels, with a proportionate Increase In tonnage carried. Among the chief products exported from Montreal were: Wheat, 10.985, 480 bushels, an Increase of 4,800,000 bushels compared with the same peri od last year; oats, 2,868,847 bushels, an Increase of 500,000 bushels; flax seed, which shows an Increase of 2, 712,000 bushels; floor wfth an Increase of 200,000 barrels, and cheese with an Increase of 155,000 boxes. TIMT1EK CRUISERS IX DEMAND. Activity In Laml Dm-lnes Makes Work for Mountain Climbers. A Tortland paper says: All timber cruisers with headquar ters In Tortland are out In the woods. If there were 100 more In the business their services would be required, ac cording to timber land owners. Unprecedented demand for tlmher lands by eastern capitalists Is said to account for cruisers being busy at a season when mcst would rather be at home. It Is thought that the cruisers, as a nik". will spend their 'Christmas In the dep, wet fi.icMs, f:-i h making estimates on some quarter section. Trusted cruisers must compute the amount of standing timber before any transfers of the land can be made. Cruisers are paid more than ever knowi In Oregon, and still moru li northern California. Ten dollars u day Is not considered high now, al though a few years ago $5 to $8 would have been considered good. In Cali fornia us high as $15 Is raid for esti mates among the redwoods of Siski you and Del Norte counties, where the men trudge through snow on the hlcr mountains, carrying their, blankets and provisions with them. " The wages are In addition to ex penses of bonrd and transportation. In a few months In the woods crulrers may save quite a goodly sum, no having any chance to spend mc.ne while at work. Fuel Situation at LewMon. Under normal circumstances the consumption of coal In Lewlston and Clarkston, Including the different points, Is about two and a half car loads jcr day. It Is estimated that the private, companies use about a carload u day and the rest goes to the family consumption. In the past 10 days wood haB ad vanced 60 cents per cord, the retail price now being $9 per cord. Season ed wood Is very scarce and the deal ers' opinion Is that It will all be ex hausted nbout February or March, Some l;ok fur the price of wood to ranch $10 per cord, depending upon the ability of the woodmen to secure cutte-s In the mountains. It seems that there Is a scarcity of wood chop pers, although there are plenty of cars on this division for wood haul ing. Tt Is understood here that con siderate wood Is now being cut near Trny and If such report Is true this will tend to reassure the market here. It Is now stated that considerable blime for the non-arrival of coal alons tbe Talousc branch Is attached to the Cunadian Pacific railroad In re fusing to permit their loaded coal cars to run on tracks In the United States other than their own. Lewlston Tribune. THE DISCOVERY OF DEMOCRACY Brand Whltlock, mayor of Toledo, O., writing on the Discovery of Dem ocracy In the Times Magazine, has this significant paragraph: The realization of this democracy, which is the justification of America to the world, is to be accomplished by the men of America not the good men, or the rich men, or the business men, or the respectable men, but by the men and when I say men I meifn women, too. For women are Includ ed In democracy; they, too, are enti tled to their own personalities, and to have tb,em count. Men vote because they are men; that Is the only reason. Women should vote, that Is, take part In democracy, because they ore wo men; that Is all. Man's humanity gives him this right, and woman's hu manity gives her Ihls right. The per fect democracy Is a sphere, not a hemisphere, and every personality In It must play its part, for good or bad." ...Improved Wheat Land...
