 shall entitle the Company to a monopoly in the use of any rivers, streams, or 

 lakes or tributaries thereof, in the said territory, but the same shall be and con- 

 tinue open for the use of the public in accordance with the law in that behalf, 

 and in the event of the works of the Company in any way interfering with the 

 driving of logs or timber down the said rivers, streams or lakes or tributaries 

 thereof, the Minister, as well as such other lawful authority as may be consti- 

 tuted therefor, shall have full power to determine from time to time the

 the payment of such dues at any time the Minister may think proper, shall pay 

 to the Crown interest at the rate of six per cent. (6%) per annum from said 

 thirtieth day of September, and upon all of such dues remaining unpaid on the 

 thirty-first day of October then next ensuing, the Company shall pay interest
