[" ~anadiay Gleaner Huntingdon, Que.Dec.3, 1908 NOTES OF THE WEEK \u2014- 1t will be taken 88 & sign of WeAk- nous on the part of the ministry that the house adjourned on Tuesday over the halidaye without grappling with the tariff.The announcement was the tariff would be submitted ss soon AS always usged under the pretense thal an insveased Serce tu essentiel fer the muintensass of pose.This bugabeo has become tèo familier and of the present session the grant asked for in the name of the emperor was refused.He took this In high dudgeon.diasolv- od the house, and thers is to be & né election.The time io coming When tho common people will no longer submit to be taxed to please the aristocrats President Rocssvelt has told the printer not to uss the changes recom: mended by the simplified spelling board in setting up his communications the house met and be considered from day to day until passed.It was promptly laid before parliament, but its reception has been such that the ministers have not pressed it, and after three weeks\u2019 of dallying the sasue Is evaded for other three weeks.The ministers have no decided views on the question of tariff, they blow hot and cold alternately between free-trade snd protection, and, therefore, any propositions they make regarding smend- ments to the tarif! are those of opportunists, wishing to please both manu- gacturers and consumers.That is im- \u201cpossible, and it will end in the government being despised by both.A second time a heavy snowstorm has visited the northwest.Fridey and Saturday all communication was sus pended.Added to the previous fall, the snow is now deep in sections where there 1s seldom more than \"enough for sleighing.The interruption to railway traffic is serious wherever thers 1s & scarcity of fuel, and in North Dakota the scarcity Is a famine.A dinner was given Mackenzie and Mann, on Friday, by the city of To ronto, which Is highly pleased with the adding of another line to Montreal and the prospect of direct communication with the north and west.Ten years ago, #0 said Mr Mann, they had begun to bulld a railway which they expected some \u2018 day would span the continent, and now they had 3800 miles completed, with a certain prospect of reaching the Pacific.Their road has many branches and the longest they have yet in contemplation, one to the Hudson bay.Speaking from ample knowledge of the country it was interesting to be told by Mr Mann that from 50 miles west ot Winnipeg to the foothills beyond Edmonton, à distance of 1000 miles, the country along their road\u2014 Is practically all a wheat-growing country.Bvery station on this portion of the line, with the possible exception of two, will be wheat-receiving stations.There is an abundance of natural rainfall and & soil as rich as any in the world.Me Lash, the lawyer of the firm, said the 3850 miles of railway bulit had cost 10 million dollars.There has always been & certain mystery about the operations of Mackensie and Mann, due to their peculiarity In bullding widely separated sections, several of which are still not connected, and ae to who are behind them in providing the money.Both were Ontario farmer boys who drifted into aking contracts to build railways and who started to build roads for themaelves with inadequate capital, , Their great strike was ssising the importance of the Saskatchewan valley and purchasing the charter held for à railway along it by speculators.Directly, they have received little in the way -oË bonuses put, indirectly, by séquiring chartere granted to others they have got much money and land.Their road from Port Arthur to Edmonton cannot fall being s money-maker.In a small way there Is no more _ ung instance of the results of ul.development of ocean navigation than the Gaily shipment of Canadian ess to England, whither they go by the thousand cases.Mill more remerk- able is the announcement of the arrivai in England of a shipment of wg from Australia, where they fetched a paying price.From Russia the tale continues to _ ve of remorseless cruelty ia supressing anything having an appsarance of hostility to the government snd of famine Soeres are being put to death without trial.In Poland the activity ot the poites 18 especially notable, The herrort of thé\u2018famino la the provinots where it prevails are reported as (ne describable.Co Bvery cemien of the Gorman legis lature there lé à domand for olerger pai for UN amy.mat re to congress.At this there ie a chorus ot exultation from à large section of village were most

spelling dose not represent tbe sounds of words, that it is genes: ally arbitrary, often grotesque, yet the majority cling to it because it 19 what they learned and from their dislike of change.The tears of children in the endeavor to learn forms lish becoming & universal language is nothing to those who hinder s reform which is sure to come.In no other country is thers the same need for increasing the facility for acquiring English as in the United States, and, having made a stand, we could have wished the president had continued firm.The cause of friction between the tion in San Francisco made against Jap scholars.has been intensified by the school board of that city ordering that Japs attend a school set apart for them.This denial of co-education with whites cuts deep.The federal authorities have appealed to the courts to give the Japs the same status with whites, but with little prospect of success.The tone of the Pacific coast is utterly hostile to the incoming of Aslatics.ORMSTOWN States and Japan, by the discriming- | yng 1s Mise i intoxicants.36 of this is trom aresi- dent of this place who thus gave tangible proof of his appreciation of the work ging on by

the evening of Dec.11th; Rev.G.| Whillans presiding.The evening being fine and the roads at their best, the school was crowded to the door.An interesting and amusing program had Lean prepared by the teacher, Miss ME.Campbell, the scholare, and others, who sach acted their part to the satisfaction of an appreciative audience.As Campbell's first year's teaching and it has given evidence of careful training.The best of order was maintained.A vote of thanks was moved by Mr John Orr, ex-chalrman of school commissioners, for the mas terly way the program had heen prepared and carried out.The proceeds at the door, 381, will be used for school furnishings.HOWICK Oats are 4c per 401b-; hay, best\u2019 quality, $18 and straw $4 per ton, both pressed.Potatoss ere toc per bag.Ste.MARTIN Bishop

best business in town is fairly humming Never before has such à record Christmas trade been done fn Ormatown.recently in connection with \u2018st Paul's church.Large openings were made in the foundation on the east and west sides, and relays of farmers with teams and Scrapers, and of men with shovels, excavated the earth beneath that part of the church extending from the vestibule to the transepts, to à depth of more than 6 feet beneath the bears supporting the floor.It took two weaks to accomplish this, and the entire iabor has been voluntary.Mr Darby and Mr McKell were on hand continuously, directing the work and sharing in it.The intention is to put in a coment floor and have ample space for coal furnaces, which will soon be needed to heat the church.The openings made will also provide much needed ventilation to preserve the support of the tioor which have beun partially damaged by dry rot.The earth taken out forms two unelghtly heaps in the front of the church at present, but will be useful in much needed grading when spring comes.it is the intention \u2018of the ladies\u2019 ald to bulld concrete platiorms and pathways In front of the church, and (t ie

David Brown thetry Made the first coming with a horse from here où the INK Des.¢ Rial | mosTans viLLAGE coms | Met Saturday evening; ali present ex- copt Coun.Crawieré.À number of accounts were considered and passed.Mayer Puilps stated the present most- ing was to decide how to provide the money to pay for the new irom bridge.Partof the material had arrived and we did not know how soon tbe village would be called on for payment.Coun.Will considered the mesting of ratepayers during the summer had de cided the mode of raising the money.By an almost unanimous vote they were for bonding the village to raise the amount.That was the orders the council had received from the ratepey- era and they had po call to do otherwise.He would move_ seconded by Kelly, that a by-law be prepared for an amount that would pay the bridge and cover the floating debt.Coun.Walsh\u2014Wnat is the amount of the floating debt?Secretary\u2014$11,500.Coun.Walsh\u20141 was not pressnt st the public meeting, but if I had I would not consider myself bound by it to bond the village.I am here as & councillor to use my own Judgment and am not in favor of bonding.I bslieve the floating debt can be pald out of the ordinary revenue without bonding and that the bridge can be be met in 8 years by a special tax.Nobody ever profited by going in debt or by placing a mortgage on his property.I will vote against bonding the village.The last financial statement gave the balance due by the village at $7520 and that would be reduced each year.Coun.Will held, when anything out of the ordinary came up, it was well to consult the ratepayers and on receiving their decision as to what ehould be done it was not for six men to ignore what a large majority had agreed on.Let them pass & by-law as requested and then the ratepayers would vote for it.Coun.Walsh\u2014Many ratepayers voted for bonding because they had been led to understand doing so would not increase the present rate.Secretary\u2014That is not so; they were told fssuing bonds would necessitate a higher rate.Coun.Walsh\u2014Certalnly many got the impression issuing bonds would not need a higher rate, and many yet labor under the belief that 6 per cent.a year will pay interest and wipe out the debt in 30 years.It will do nothing of the kind.Coun.Kyle\u2014~What the council is up against 0 to pay for the bridge.We need $10.000, where are we to get it?Coun.Walsh\u2014I will get it within two weeks.The motion was then put and carried, Rice and Walsh dissenting.It was agreed the mayor and Coun.Will should ase to getting the by-law prepared.Mayoz\u2014The other night I caused Albert McDowell to be arrested and had Mr Lorrain not kindly offered tu keep hin I do not know what I would have done.We have 2 lock-up that is all right In_mild weather, but does not answer in winter as there is no way of heating it.There is if the county bullding à room meant for the lawyers but which they do not use which could be made to answer.When a prisoner is brought in from Hinch- inbrook or any other township there is no place to keep him.It is à county matter and it you think it well I could submit it at next meeting.Moved by Con.Walsh, seconded by Coun.Rice, that the mayor act as he suggests.Mayor said the electric light had often besn far from what they ought to have.Had Coun.Kelly any explan- nation.\\ Coun.Kelly sald Mr Crawford was absent and he would say nothing.Arthur Chambers had spoken to him about the great waste of water that was going on from people letting their taps run.He wnuld pump the tank full at 11 at nigat and at & in the morning it would be empty.This extra pumping was costing the village « lot of money and something must be done to stop the waste.Coun.Xyle~It is well known & third of the taps are kept running during winter to prevent the pipes freezing.Those who do so ought to be fined.Secretary\u2014There is à fine for such waste and \u2018the Inspector can enter any house whenever.he plesses to see the the law is obeyed.Coun.Kyle=Give the informer halt the fins and there will be plenty of canes.Some run the water all day to prevent freesing.Coun.Will explained that by running & rod from the mink to the esllar tme water could be turmed oft or on in & moment and all risk of fressing done away with.John Thornton asked for water and the use of the upper ond of the park: foe & skatlng-vink, 4 a 4 ! Mayer-Tho village Das always lest\u2019 by those riche The parties de net pay what they agreed to for water and light and they break the hy- deents.Last winter's experience had sickened him with sports and they could cut gut hockey for & year or two to the advantage of the village.Coun.Kelly stated the hydrant used for flooding the rink had been broken twice last winter.For the second the ratepayers had to pay for the repairs.Coun.Kyls agreed that hockey could be dispensed with seeing that the young men had baskat-ball two nights in the week.Thornton's application was left in the hands of the light and water committee.CAZAVILLE _ At « regular mésting of Court Caze- ville, No.1734, LO.F., held in their hall at Casaville, Que, on Tuesday, Dec.1ith, the following officers were elected for the year 1901\u2014 C.D.HC.R., A.N.Castagnier P.C.R., George Folsey - C.R.J.Ell Chatelle V.C.R., Thomas Vass : Orator.Alexander Vass 8.J.C., Hidallia Caza 8.wW.J.J.McGibbon J.W., Stanislas Caza 8.B.J.D.Stewart J.B., Damase Caza ATHELSTAN A visit to the stables of James T.Bilder of Oak creek, Elgin, disclosed the fact that he has got what he considers a complete system of ventila- \u2018tion.Mr Elder built his barn 3 years ago, and has had ample time to test the efficiency\u201d of his system.Thebarn ts 96 by 84.The basement js built on top of ground of firat-class building stones ; the inside of the wall was not pointed, but was plastered with a ce- ment-mortar.At the bottom of the wall was placed eight 6in.tiles, four on each side, and in the floor was placed a Tin.pipe with an elbow which.extends to the second girt, and is even with the outside boarding.There is a window every 13 feet with a transom.The top 3 lights are hinged, 80 as to fold down, giving good ventl- lation for the spring snd any warm days during the winter.Mr Elder says he has solved the ventilation of basement atables, and snyone intending building would do well to call and examine his system.GODMANCHESTER ROADS To the Editor of the Canadian Gleaner: Sir.~A statement: was published In the.Gleaner of Oct.18 last of the work done on the Ridge road in the way of macadamising, and what was done in past seasons by doing bits here and there, generally half a mile of the worst piece of the road.Truthfully it was said that the worst pieces of road were selected.If the writer of this statement will take the trouble he will-find that the bits hers\u2019 and there were nearer one mile.When the statement was published in the Gleaner a number of ratepayers asked me to furnish a statement of what was done in 1904 and 1906.In 1906 it was stated that from the village headline to Clyde's corners over four miles had been macadamised, whereas, by actual measurement, the distance is a little over three miles and & half.Again 10 inches is stated as the average depth of crushed stone, whersas from the headline to Daniel Purcell's is ten inches, from Daniel Purcell's to David Biggar's only six inches, and: from Biggars to Clyde's corners only seven inches.This depth of stone may make a showing on the Ridge road, the bottom being stone, but it would not last one season on low clay roads or through the muck land in Teafield.No ditching was done, and if the cost of ditches te added it would add at isast 3836 to the cost, figuring at 18 cents & rod.The way tne council instructed\u2019 me to make ditches it would cost more.The actual amount spent in 1996 on the Ridge road for the three and ai hail miles was $3361.63, which is nearly $1008 a mile, in place of $784, in the state ment published in the Gleaner.Now, in regard to the work done in 1004.1 macadamised « little over three and à hait miles dy actual measurement.The average depth of crushed atone was from ten to fifteen inches, on the low clay roads, and on the Piank road through the muck land in the teafield, I cut \u2018the brush back on thé Plank road 8 to 10 fest, laying the brush to make a bottom for the metal, employing 3 extra mên at 31.26 per day, which added $3.75 per day to the cost.Tton, when making the new ®iderced from Trout river to the fifth cencession it was necessary $9 widen the road, and 13 fest of land was purehased from the estate of the late Wim.Lunaa.This necessitated tbe moviig bask of the Wire fence fur the length of half where à nv doh had 10 bo dug] Blasting had te be dons, and fer (his work extra teams and men had te be hired.In addition te this, extra wesk had to be done to the amount ef $100 in finishing work done in 1960.dise crushing rock for rond district and for moving from Halens to tesfioid.Whes ali this extra work ie taken into ac count, it will be clearly seen that the setual cost, $3447.64, of road-making in 1004 was less than in 1906.Yours, JOSRPH P.TALLON Helens, Dee.15th.CLOTHING!

ployed the whole police force, and had the entire military garrison under arms, to prevent a demonstration arranged for this afternoon for the purpose of acclaiming the Republic outside the French embassy.Strong measures were taken to repress a possible dangerous outbreak of anti-cierical- ism.Although the demonstration was fixed for 4 o'clock In tha afternoon \\the police and soldiery took vosczession of the neighboring streets and houses before that time.The vatican was surrounded by cavalry, the horses being unshod to enable, if necessary, to charge over the cobble stones.The, streets and bridges leading to the vatican were occupied by the troops and traffic was stopped.Troops were stationed in the Piazza Farnese, where the French embassy is situated.Large crowds, composed mostly of students, loaters and the dregs of the city.gath-| ered in the afternoon.They at first tried to reach the vatican.but found everywhere a line of bayonets opposing them.Several rushes occurred and there were shouts of \u201cDeath to the priests\u2019 \u2018Down with the Pope!\u2019 and \u2018Long live France!\u2019 The soldiers stood thelr ground firmly and none of the crowd passed them.Some of the more demonstrative were arrested.Then the mob tried to reach the embassy, but troops cordoned thestreets leading to the Piazza Farnese and prevented them.Several charges were made.The crowd was never allowed to gather strength.The trouble was practically over by nightfall, \u2018but the city continues to have the appearance of being in a state of siege.Armed soidiers protect the vatican, parliament buildings and the embassies, as well as hold the streets and squares, while numbers of others are held ready in houses and courtyards for use in case of emergency.The demonstrations were led by a dozen Radical Socialists and Republican members of the chamber of deputies, including Prince Borg- hese.After vainly attempting to break cordon, they obtained candles and formed into a mock procession, intoning the Miserere.as an indication of the Jdeath of clericalism, amidst cries of \u2018Long live France!\u2019 \u2018Long live Clemenceau!\u2019 and \u2018Down with the vatican!\u2019 Deputies Costa and De- police tried to harangue the people but the police interfered.The demonstration occurred near the monument to Giordano Bruno, the monk philosopher, who was burned alive, a victim of roligious Intolerance.Deputy Costa finally made himeelt heard.He sald.\u2018Batore this monument to Bruno, let us send our applause to France for this great people, continuing the traditional \u2018 obstinate struggle against the moth-eaten clericalism\u2019.Fresh attempts were then made to beat back the cordon, and t he cavalry charged the demonstrators.A few of them were dlightly injured, and several arrested.Amid roars and shouts and the shhging tinued until late in the evening.A | expected.CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS SERVICE next Sunday evening, Dec.33rd, ab ¥ Christmes Ci o'clock.'arols will be sung.Address to children and young people by the Rettor.All are most heartily invited.HOWICK | The Anaual Children's Christmas Festival will take place in the Hall here on the evening of Christmas day, TUESDAY, Dec.Ith, commencing at 8 o'clock.A most interesting program will be presented, including contributions by Mrs Donegan of Montreal and Miss Anderson.Tickets: Adulte 28e;
