last week one of the most lively topics of discussion was on the editorial page of the weekly newspapers the qucs tion rather drew the meeting up into sides and vn handled by those weeklies who conduct 3uch a pagt and those who only occasionally write such mutter or do not attempt to eivc editorial opinion the frcl prlss hair followed the lead of the city dailies and tltc editorial has been a feature to be dealt with the same as any other department of the paper in every issue judpinp from comments we have passed on to us deahrrg with articles that have appeared here it is an interesting feature nnd hence the reason for its continuance the views expressed in them arc the opinions of the editor they may be wrong and t is just as well thut there ure others who hold viowa ftt variance still they are tiven in uoh sincerity that wc are willing to put thern in print for cither the ridicule or tho praise thin thy invariably bring about sonic of the weeklies occasionally rmsa a week

interesting crop report as fur nished by the bank of montreal would seem to in dicatc that the crops m spite of their late start were now progressing fitvorably nnd promising good yields it says in part in the prairie provinces seeding is about completed with the exception of a umall acreapc of coarse grains germination and carl growth were retarded by cold weather but with the warm weather now prevailing crops arc making rapid proprcss there is generally sufficient moisture for the present but good rains will be needed soon over large areas in northern saskatchewan and north eastern alberta in ontario fall wheat continues to make excellent progress very little having bodi damaged from any cause and prospects are that the crop will he above the average all clovers are look j ag well arid

citizens other than boarding house mistresses who had other substantial things at heart than the filling of their rooming houses and the maintaining of their revenue continuing the same report says one port colborne resident who went into the game in a small way and gradually increased his business until he menaced the prestige of the syndicate went broke in a way the reporter was assured is not
