We understand that our always generous, large souled, appreciative Whitby, Port Perry and Lindsay Railway Company have gone into the pooling business with their big brothers of the Mid- land, and here is tho glowing bar- gain they made. The two companies aro to do the work between them and then divide tho spoils ; of overy $100 of the. gross earnings of the two roads the big brothers of the Midland are to get $79, and Holden and the other little ones of the Whitby, Porv Perry and Lind. say Railway Company will get $21. This way be all very fine and may be more than the latter deserves, very likely it is and we care pot if they did not get five per cent, of the gross earnings, but the question in how will this magnificent pooling ar rangement effect Port Perry which foolishly gave this company an additional $20,000 to put them In a position to come the pooling dodge over them, When Holden and his mercenaries were leading the easily driven people of Port Perry into the $20,000 am buscade, they painted in glowing colors the fleets of timber and Jombir ladon scows which would fairly whiten the waters of Scugog and which would require dozens, scores and some of the more ardent decoy birds went as far as hundreds of hands which would be required to bandle the world of lumber and timber constantly rolling into our shores, Holden to prove his faith in the Llustering and now shown to be groundless assertions he made of the great things the extension was to do for the village, asked for tenders, which it appears he did not want, to build a magnificent structure on his vacant lot in Port Perry, -- After tho $20,000 bad been secured the magnificent structure dwindled down fo a second hand building 10 x12 and 7 feet posts. This proved the strength of Holden's faith in his own assertions and the people were taken somewhat aback; but this was only preparing them for future disappointe ments and the ever generous ones who bad been trapped into wasting $20,000 of the money of the corporation, now when It was too late, found out their mistake. But the worst had not como yet, This magnifi- cent pooling arrangement had been thought of, the crowning cut bad not yet Deen given, -- Now, however, the pooling with the Midland is an accomplished fact, it matters not which of the two ronds carry the traffic, the total earning of the two roads are put fo- gether and the Midland gets $79 out of every $100 earned, and the W., P. P. & L, gets $21. The lumber and timber will, of course, go by the Midland, the other will bave a share of the profit, and Scugog with its endless ficet of timber and lumber laden t | scows and the scores of hands to handle it may all go to--well, grass | not Our opinion is that Holden and his spouting hirelings ob tained that $20,000 under false pretences, and we can't gee the impropricty of repudi. ating this bonus of $20,000, cancel the debentures not yet given up and demand the return of those which have been handel over, and thus teach Holden and the other little ones that honesty, even though they care nothing for it,is at least the best policy. ---- f Extending the Time.

By-laws have been passed, bonuses have been voted, time has been extended and again extended and still the thing is in the future 'and more timo wanted. The muni cipal fathers of the town of Peter- boro having extended the time and atretched their pati to the ut- most limite of duration now call upon the ratepayers to try and stroteh it farther, so a public meet- ing was beld in order to test the feel. ing of the ratepayers on the ques~ sion, At the meeting the motion determined effort was put forth to give this work hat position to whieh! its imporlance so justly en- six ; if not why don't it deal with} * |at Williamsburg on Saturday, July 13th,-- ee - tho casy propa, were dosirous of Toronto suffici their boundaries that they may gro 'and thus save tho expense of con. neéting them municipalities Bn up oad doing, ry of the work Ottawa and ~ = ni gg mes a Induction Gy ber, F Fi . 3 Rov.
