The girl, Clara Watt, of S. S. No. 1, Guilford Township, has passed her junior matriculation examination in twelve papers, in eight of which she took first-class honours, and in the remaining fouir second-class honours. This standing, which entitles Miss Watt to the Haliburton Scholarship of $150. is remarkable enough in itself, but becomes even more so through the fact that this clever young student has never attended High School for one day in her life. She completed her matriculation coure in the little country Public School in which she s< cured record entrance standing at the age of 12 years. Miss Watt, whose home is situated on the edige of the trackless forest, north of the Algonquin Park, by this almost prodigious accomplishment obtains the highest honours which have ever been won by any student in Haliburton County, according to the Warden, B. J. Sawyer.-- Bancroft Times. Before Police Magistrate Floyd last week E. M. Currie, of Rochester. X.Y.. was acquitted on a charge of causing grievous bodily harm while in charge of a motor vehicle to Felix Leonard, of Haldimand Township. The accident occurred on August 25 on the Provincial Highway, on the curve in the read near the home of Jack Hare. Ourrie was driving east along the Highway and had turned out to pass a horse and democrat waggon, in which were Mr. Leonard, Mrs. Leonard and son. Just as Currie was about to pass, another car going west crowded Currie over against the horse and rig, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard being thrown out and Mr. Leonard receiving three fractured rihs and a cut on the head, while Mrs. Leonard was also injured and the carriage damaged. Following the accident Currie stopped and did all in his power to alleviate their sufferings. Evidence was given to the effect that the corner is a bad one, the view to the east being obstructed by trees. Currie stated it was impossible to avoid the accident owing to the other car crowding him against the rig. DESTROYS WARBLES iter seeing an editorial in a recent e on warble flies Mr. Thos. Robertson. Ire Lake. Manitoulin Island. Ont., 'sends in what he has found to be an excellent means of destroying this cattle pest. He writes: "If all who have cattle or horses w ill spray or rub on With a cloth two or three times a week in the fly season, a solution of motor oil and a fair amount ot crude carbolic added, the bot fly and warble will give them a wide berth. In the case of young cattle, which are not housed, treat them in the spring before turning them out by giving them a good rub with the oil I expect that it will kill every warble in their backs.

Urging farmers and others to ect the toad and save Mm for the good he can and will do, the Biological Survey says: "An active interest in the conservation of toads must be taken if these useful animals are to escape extermination by the draining of their breeding places, by the burning over of fields and woods, and by other perils of their present-day environment." The automobile and the city system take large tolls of toads, the department points out. ^ advertisement In The Express be likely to bring a customer for mdensed advertisement column will the Canadian Bank of and the Standard Bank of >re to-day ratified by the rs of the two banks leetings.

Milk made from soya beans can be used for every purpose to which the product of the cow is put, including cheese-making. ^ hand and from reports oartment of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company there is every indication that one of the best hunting reasons ever will be experienced. Mike Bates sends down word from ms camps et Metagama, Ontario, that if the hunters dom't get their deer and moose this season they will have nothing to blame but their poor shooting. He says that moose are very plentiful ami expects it to be a great year in every way. From Schreiber, Ontario, where John Handel, outfitter, has been operating, the reports are just as reassuring. Handel says that the game has increased in the Superior Game Preserve lying south of the C. P. R. line and a very considerable area and the surplus has crossed to the north of the tracks offering good hunting. He eays that caribou are roaming the woods m increased numbers. As the C. P. R. line is the north boundary of the game preserve, hunters don't have to go very far for their quarry. The news from Sheehan'e Camp at Lake Penage, southwest of Sudbury, is also music to the hunter's ears. Deer here are reported to be very plentiful. Reports turned in by guides of Ogilvie Bros. Camps on the Tobique River, N.B., are to the effect that deer though very plentiful last season, show signs of much greater increase. The same word comes from A. D. Thomas at South Millord. m the Kedg-makooge district. .. The hunting facilities of the Yukon and northern British Columbia districts are worthy of special men- CotamMa. ». I Um district ot North BrttUh I. Coffin* a moot. 4. Bur According to sportsmen who have bunted in . arte of the world there are no finer big game fields anywhere than those embraced by the Kluahne j Lake and White River and the McMillan River districts of the Yukon territory. In addition *o the remarkable inducements offered the hunter these districts have an impelling attraction for the tourist* man or woman, who delights in exploring the wonders and beauties of Nature in wild and primitive country. The big game inhabitants, according to locality, comprise White sheep, mountain goat, Osborn caribou, moose and three varieties of bear--grizzly, brown and black. Some magnificent trophies of all these species have been obtained in the past. The Yukon game country is so vast in its extent that a great number of hunting parties can be out the same season without ever being seen by one The Kluahne Lake and White River district is reached from the East via the Canadian Pacific Railway through the world renowned scenery of the Canadian Rockies to Vancouver, thence by Canadian Pa* eific "Princess" steamer for an enchanting run of one thousand miles to Skagway, Alaska, where change is made and journey eontinued by train over the White Pass and Yukon route to White Horse, Y.T., a distance of 110 miles. Hunting grounds are situated about 154 miles from White Horse, the trip usually being made by automobile to Champagne Landing (65 miles) the first day; team the second day on to Bear Creek (55 miles) and toamjbe third day to Kluahne Lake (34 miles) where the actual hunting commences.
