We are very pleased to note sînce writ- ing our article on Medicine H Iat, Alberta, for this paper that the Canadian Pacific Railway have decided tosen this year about haîf a million dolLars n the lina in that city and yicinîty. The expenditure of such a large appropriation locally should and will certainly me,- an much to the business interests of th-at progressive city, as there should be abunidance of good money cîrculating as soon asý Spring ôpêns and operations begin. -It should be very gratifying to citizens, too, that the C.1'.R. people consider the importance o 'f Medi- cine Hat to the Company justifies sucb a very large expenditure. Bowmianville wants an elcctric road to stations and Port Bowmanville to make this town a popular summerýr resort. No more bealthy town exists fin the Province, no more moral town, and few more beautiful. Hotel Bowman and the Bal- moral are fwo as homelike hosteiries as can be found anywbere-splendidlv adapt- ed' for "a home from home"~. Summer visîtors are a desirable class and should be encouraged here. Cottagecrs have been coming for years and fh-ey pronounce Port Bowmanvîlla a splendid resort. Sure, there is no more healtby spot on north shore of beautîful Lake Otro There is-plenty-of rooma- for morecottages-to bec added to the 50 or 6o alreadyý, built.

Indaed, we may confide to our twenty-onc thousand read- ers thaf we are watching the actions of the members in Quaen's Park with- close personal interest and may conrsider secur- ing a nomination for next Pro v incial cc- tion, believing that at our çime of life $i,Soo.oo for about th ree mr V.iving in case and luixur-y withpli >ijov,,ial coin- pany to help pass away th,-imie is not to be despised any longer. Somne weeks ago we found al with farmers for not attending farmers' meet.. ings. better. Whether that article b 'as done the trick or something cisc, if is very gratifving to know that ail the meetings in the interest of agriculture beld since have been the best attended ever. Splendid meetings were beld last week and the week before, calling forth great praise from the speakers who came ta them. This is as if should be. Farmers perhaps more than any other class of men need to meet often in their own intcrests and co- operate in their undertakings. Sec what a huwi manufacturers are making over the reciprocity pact bacause it looks as if farmers are to get somne advantages bof h in buying and sciling. Why dont farmers set up a counter cry and encourage tbe Government in their efforts to help the agricultural communities as weli as the aiready bighly protected manufacturer? Farmers will be surprised to be told tbat the articles appearing in this journal and nearly ail other country newspapers with scare beadlines against reciprocity are being paid for, pregumably, by manu- facturers-for who else would spend so much money to defeat the treaty? We are paid $5 a column for space in The James Papers for these anti-reciprocity "alarmisf" articles. Funny, isn't if,,that after thay have been enabled to "roll in riches" by a protective tariff that they are striving so bard f0 prevent some trade ad- vantages being giyen farmers, stockmen, fruifman and others wbo will benefit by freer trade with our nearest neighbors ? Don't you think if higb fime, farmiers, that you made known in some public way your own views on this proposed tariff pact as an offset f0 tbe hullabaloo set up by boards of trade, wbich are dominatad largely by manufacturars, bankers and financial men whose interests are- closely allied witb tham.
