' PECULIAR NEST B. Noble Steacy, Kingston, had interesting experience while playing golf recently. On the sev- enth hole, leading to the club fouse, he sent out a long drive, fol- Jowed by a second and shorter shot which sliced into the trees to the gight. While Mr. Steacy was look- ing around for the lost ball, his glub stuck in a hole at the side of # tree and loosened some grass and an turf in fromt of it, revealing much to Mr. Steacys amazement, a per- fect mest of golf balls--eleven in all, Singularly enough, as reveal- ed by the names on them, not one of them had been in play this year and the only explanation mow of- fered for the presence of the balls is that they were 'cached' there by a dog, which it is recalled, was run- ning loose on the course last year and which had a habit of picking up balls and running away with them to hide them. The bails seemed none the worse for their year in the hole. TA RETURNS Pat Taylor and Lachance, the man with whom he left Cobourg on August 10, were brought back to Cobourg from Woodstock last night at 8 p.m. by Chief of Police Ruse. Pat was taken home in a taxi by the police and was warmly greeted by his anxious father and mother on his arrival.

Pat was de- nied to all visitors, even interviews with the press being refused. La- chance was taken to the police sta- L. |tion and arraigned before Leslie Wilson, J.P., in a special sitting of the court. The only charge made was the theft of a gold watch from George Anderson of Cobourg.

REBATE ON TAX Announcement made in Toronte on Thursday, to the effect that re- bate of the gasoline tax, used for civic-owned motor vehicles such as fire equipment, police cars and the like, would, in all probability, be made by the Government next year, was received with favor in local eivie circles. 1t is understood that this will be in addition to the re- duction to be made in motor li cense fees. It will be recalled that the various municipalities made a request some time ago to the Gov- ernment, to have this rebate made on the gasoline tax, as civic-owned vehicles use only the streets which the municipality itself maintains, whereas the gas tax goes towards the upkeep of outside roads. It is understood that Hon. George Ss. Henry, Minister of Highways, is in sympathy with the proposition, and that at the next session of the Leg- islature the members will be asked to approve of it. VERANDAH FELL At least five people were more or less injured on Wednesday night at Erinsville, when a portion of a 60-foot verandah on the pavilion owned and operated by Charles O'« Neill, of Erinsville, fell. A pienie had been in progress during the day and night a dance was held at the pavilion, As is usual at such affairs, a number of people were standing around the verandah of the pavilion when part of it, meas~ uring about 24 feet by 12 feet, gave away from the building, carrying about thirty-five people with it. The verandah did not crash, but, as it were, slid away from the rest of the section. It dropped a dis- tance of about ten feet with the result that those who had been standing on the part that collapsed were thrown about. All suffered a shaking up but in the accident at least five people were more or less seriously injured. Reta Horrigan, of Reed, Ont., suffered a fracture of the knee and was brought to the Hotel Dieu Hospital, Kingston, for treatment Thursday, but was able to leave after an X-ray had been taken. Miss Rose Cronan also of Reed, also suffered minor injuries, while it is known that three others were hurt also.

To Keep Young Buffalo Ccatrary to the impression held by some, the new buffalo which arrived this year at Lakeview Park will not be sent away but will re- main to permanently increase the present herd. The buffalo have summered well this year ,accord- ing to John Smith, their caretaker, but reports that like the dog fam- ily, the mammoths from the pr- aries found the flies rather boih- egsome, Given Copies Greater Oshawa Edition As they were leaving for home on the train last night, the mem- bers of the Quebec Chamber of Commerce were all presented with copies of the Greater Oshawa Kdi- tion, by The Oshawa Daily Times.

LIQUOR ACT SEEN Possible Plebiscite to Deter- mine Whether Quebec System be Adopted Vancouver, Aug. 30.-- Revision of the British Columbia liquor act, to pattern it more along the lines of the Quebec system, with a pos- sible plebiscite to decide whether beer or wines shall he served with meals. That is. the prediction made in some Conservative circles at the capital as Hon, 8. F. Tol- mie's new Conservative Govern- ment tackles the tasks which Ile before it, The new administration taking office after 12 years of Liberal rule, has a host of things to do. Con- tracts for important public works must be let after the delay occas- foned by the election in July which swept the Conservatives into pow- er, Hundreds of thousands of dol- lars in road construction are to he spent; the Pacific Great Eastern Railway awaits a solution; surveys must be made of industries to put into effect Dr. Tolmie's announced policy. Changes in the liquor aet are certain. Demands for the abolition of patronage in conmection with liquor control have been made by the Conservatives in opposition, and are now being made by the Conservative press. This patron- age, the Victoria Colonist declares, was a contributory factor in the Liberals' defeat and must be re- moved. "It is an abuse," says the Colon- ist, "against which the new pre- mier has sternly set himself, both in practice and precept." Beer in Hotels Hotel men have been active In behalf of beer and wine with meals, Definite forecast of the government policy in this regard cannot yet be made, until it is more firmly in the saddle, but it is known that strong pressure for such a change is be- ing brought, Sentiment of the pro- vince as found and reported by the new ministers themselves will be a strong factor in deeiding future action. Drastie changes In the method of letting public works contracts are also predicted by the Consetvative press, which looks for conskierable economy as a result, ' To the task, Dr. Tolmie brings a ministry of material untried in executive council work, but skilled in Legislature procedure. His min- isters represent an excellent cross- section of the province's activities, as well being representative of territory. Premier Tolmie himself is a veterinarian and a farmer with long experience in Dominion gov- ernment affairs. His attorney-gen- eral, Hon. R. H. Pooley, is steeped in the traditions of the provincial legislative hall, and is a barrister by profession. He has had long ex- perience in the house. Hon. W. C. Shelly, Minister of Finance, is a Vancouver manufac- turer grown wealthy in the baking industry. Hon. W. A. McKenzie, minister of Mines, is a contractor. Hon. N. Lougheed, public works, is a prominent lumberman, Hon. S. L. Howe, provincial secretary, is a Vancouver druggist who bas also done well in real estate. Hon. R. L. Maitland, taken into fhe cabinet without portfolio, is a Vancouver lawyer. Hon. Joshua Hinchliffe, Minister of Education, is a former chaplain and present lawyer. Hou. F. P. Burden, Minister of Lands, is a land surveyor and well equip- ped in that respect "for his post. Hon. Ralph W. Bruhn, president of the council, 1s prominent in Salmon Arm. Besides Brubm, the Okanagan district has McKenzie, of Simflka- meen, and J. W, Jones {8 to be speaker, Burden comes from the north and Hon. W, Atkinson, Min- ister of Agriculture, represents the Fraser Valley. Victoria and aa- jacent island ridings have Tolmie, Pooley and Hinchliffe, while Van- couver has Shelly, Howe, Lougheed and Maitland, The Cabinet generally has been well received, although Nelson critics complain that the Kootenays and Border district, rich mining regions, have heen neglected, One quirk in cabinet making has been brought out. The constitu- tion act says that the cabinet shall consist of 12 members, 'of whom pot more than eight shall receive any salary." That means, accord- ing to Liberal interpretation here, that with nine ministers holding portfolios, one of them must either resign or- serve without remuners ation, Dr. Tolmie declares the act per- mits eight aside from the premier, Captain Ian Mackenzie, prominent barrister and member for North Vancouver, accuses Tolmie of blun- dering. More will likely be heard of the issue In the Legislature. STEAMSHIP FIRMS | SUE N.Y. OFFICIAL Ask $150,000 for Alleged Improper Rejection of Immigration New York, Aug. 30. -- Eleven steamship companies filed suits for $150,000 in Federal Court yester- day against Philip Elting, collector of the port of New York, as repara- tion for alleged improper rejec- tion of immigrants, Many immigrants were ordered returned, it was charged, when they had resided in this country five to seven years and gone abroad with every intention of resuming residence here. Many of the Immigrants were sald to have possessed proper United States visas and the steam- ship companies believed them ens titled to be transported to United States ports. The proceedings were based on penalties exacted by the Govern- ment in the cases of rejected immi- grants and the cost of maintaining and returning them to their native lands, The steamship companies said they had made necessary out- lays under the duress. BULLS IN CHARGE OF N.Y, EXCHANGE Stock Ticker Unable to Keep Up With Volume of Trading New York, Aug. 31.--Bullish activi- ties on the stock exchange were again taken up and by noon more than a score of issues had been boosted from $3 to $7 to new high prices on Wednesday.
