PROVINCIAL REVENUES. EATEN BY ANIMALS. Baby‘s Body Found on the Railway Near Douglas. Manitoba. A despatch from Brandon, Man.. says: Dr. Moore, coroner, r5ceivcd word on Friday from Douglas that a baby about three months old had been found near the C.P.lt. tracks at. the east end of the village. The body was in a partial state (:1 decomposition, chewed by swine and also a prey of crows. The discovery was made by a woman, who found the child had been clad in a light cotton dress, which was besmirched with dirt and flesh marks. The head of the child borei marks of bruises. Coroner Moore when seen on Friday said he had only received meagre details of the case, and did not know whether he would hold an inquest or not. Chief Provincial Constable El- liott of Winnipeg was also notified, and Is conducting an inquiry into the grueâ€" w'as remembered that a young man had been coming to see Sister Sobovna of late, and every time he went away her face was sad and she was slow to go ant.l amuse the couvalcscing children, as was her duty and had been her plea- sure in other days. But when the police came and opened tier trunk quite anâ€" other state of affairs was revealed. one indeed. which has given even the most insouciant population a thoughtful moâ€" ment. The trunk was filled with bombs cf the most. perfected description, and the boxlike bed upon which the dead barge Amounts in Succession Duties and Company Fees. A despatch from Toronto says: The gross amount of succession duties re- ceived by the. Provincial Treasury dur- ing the month of April was $308,381. (‘f this $150,000 was a deposit pending filial adjustment with the estate of the late Senator Fulford, which had previ- ously paid $100,000. The papers rela- tive to the estate of the late Hon. A. G. Blair have arrived, but the amount of succession duties receivable has not yet been made out. The approximate netvalue of the estate is $102000, one- third of which goes to the widow, and the balance is to be equally divided be- tween the seven children. The receipts of the Provincial Secreâ€" tary’s ofiice for the four months ending Tuesday totalled 133,257.28, compared with $70.685.55 for the corresponding period of 1905, or an increase of $62,- 571.63. The increase was due largely to the increased number of companies obtaining incorporation and the fees re- cexved from them. seine find that was made. In the neigh- borhood there is absolutely no clue, and the inference drawn is that the child was hurled from a passing train, only to meet. its death down the embankment. ...__â€"â€"â€"ch__.« â€". \VALKED IIICR SLEEP. >Xa~â€" FIGHT AT SANTIAGO DE CUBA‘ Niagara Falls Woman Wakes [p in a â€" United States Sailors Attacked by Chilian Cemetery- Policc.

Upon the door being opened a strange woman was standing on the steps. She explained that. she lived at Niagara Falls, where she had gone to sleep at home the night before, and awoke to find herself in the cemetery. She knew nothing of what happened be- tween the time she went to sleep and the time of awakening, which was 4 a.m., and evidently must have walked the en- tire distance from the Falls to the cemeâ€" tery (ten miles) in her sleep.

A despatchv from Toronto says: Fire from an unknown Cause, breaking out about 5.30 Saturday afternoon in the warehouse of the Knox Manufacturing Company at 50 Wellington street cast. caused a loss of about $145,000 to the Knox Company and to Mr. C.

The sailors say they were returning to their ship in a reasonably sober condition, when they were sudden- ly attacked by the police with revolvers and machetes. A fierce fight. ensued, with the result that Henry L. Lee, a fireman for the Tacoma, will probably die of a compound fracture. of the skull, caused by a machete, and a gunshot- wound in the right breast. Ten other seamen were taken to the ship suffering from machete wounds and clubbing. Not one of the policemen was badly hurt, though a number of them suffered from contusions. The captain and all the policemen who participated in the affair have been suspended by order of the civil ’ ldent Cameron of Victoria Lawn Governor of Santiago upon the represen- tations of Commander ’l‘appen of the Tacoma and the American Consul, Mr. Holaday. _. .y.-.__ \VICLL-DIGtIIERS FIND COAL.

A despalch from Fort William says: The Western grain trade threatens to be paralyzed by the local elevator strike, which still continues. A big rush of wheat has been coming in from the West, but now it is impossible to unload this and a blockade is feared. It will also affect the, shipment of coal, as no empties are available. Only one vessel tun: loaded at the Canadian Pacific ele- vators since the strike. Four men were working on Saturday, but none on Sun- day. Vessels are going to Port Arthur to load at the Canadian Northern. The fluronic left without any cargo of grain. liight vessels are now waiting for cargo.

The little fellow went out to play about 11 o‘clock, and not returning search was made for him, but. it was not. until about 1.30 that his hat was seen floating on top of the water in an old well at South Park, which is just. across the street from the boy‘s home. He had evidently been in the water for some time. it is supposed that he lifted a board off the top and was throwing something in when he overbalanced' himself and fell in. ‘ _.___.y..-,____ AN ALL ROUND INCREASE.

Methods of Planting on Easily-Worked Soilsâ€"“hen and [low to “Ilcel In.“ in planting trees in a forest planta- tion. three things absolutely necessary to attend to are: (1) Keep the roots of the trees moist, (2) spread the roots well when placing the trees in the ground, (3) tramp the earth firmly around the roots. In order to keep the roots of the trees from drying, they are carried in baskets and covered ever with wet moss: or they can be carried in pails. partly filled with water, or, better still, with very thin mud. If the trees arrive at a time when they cannot be planted immediately, they should be “heeled in.” For this purpose select a shaded spot which the sun and the wind cannot get at, and here dig a \’-shaped trench, with the sides sloping at quite an angle. Now take a pail or other vessel and in it put water and earth, so as to fonn a thin mud; or, sunply dig a hole in the ground and pour some water in it. Take the seedlings and dip them in this thin mud, then place them in the trench. :rowding them pretty closely ibut not too close), throw the earth back over the seedlings and tramp it. down thoroughly; then put down another row of seedlings. and so on. The seedlings will keep all right in this Condition for two weeks or more; but it is not wise to keep them thus for a longer time, on account of the danger of injury to the roots when they are finally moved. If the ground is soft. and easily worked, the planting may be done with a spade. A spadeiul of earth is taken out, and in the hole thus made a tree taken from the basket or pail is placed. The roots of this tree should be well spread out. Then the earth is put back and well [ramped down. The tree should be placed in the earth about an inch deeper than it was in the nursery bed. in order to allow for heaving of the soil by frost, etc. Some prefer to plough furrows as far apart as the rows of trees are intended it stand. Then the planters go along the furrows and at the required dis- tances put down the tree, hold it in posi- tion and throw some loose earth about the roots, then tramp this earth down thoroughly, and then on to the next tree. The earth may be thrown back into place by another furrow ploughed along- side the first one. The rate of planting will vary a great deal. In easily worked soil six men ought, after some practice, to be able to plant about five thousand trees per day. It is best to have some men do the actual planting while others carry trees to them. One man or boy can often carry trees to supply two men planting. The number of plants per acre will depend on the spacing. Planting foun feet by four feet, 2.725 trees will be‘ necessary; for planting five feet by five feet. 1,750 trees, and for planting six feet by six feet, 'i,210_trees. Report on Operation of Liquor License Law of Ontario. A despatch from Toronto says: in‘ formation regarding the operation of the Liquor License Act of Ontario is given in the thirty-first annual report of the license branch of the Provincial Secreâ€" 'tary’s Department, which has just been published. The total collections fork 1(‘115â€"0 were $657,813.44. as compared with 3637.762 in the previous license year.
