The Ottawa Citizen emphasizes a point to which the Whig has already that if the Americans have so much spruce wood, and are not at all dependent upon Canada for their supplies, they are ac- called attention, namely, quiring a lot of Canadian property and pulp-wood. The the statement of an authority on the, sub Citizen brings out now ject, the gencral manager of the Lau- rentide Pulp and Paper company, and to the efiect that but for the ease with which this Canadian supply of pulp-wood can be secured, the mast of the to be moted to Canada. mills would have With a good stili export duty on pulp, and pulp- .

Oh, ho! and so the tories do not want their methods exposed in court ! Well that is the best reason why it should. be. The Whig cordially agrees with\the Hamilton Spectator that .

Winntpeg, Aug. 14.--Hugh McKellar, of the Department of Agriculture, says 20,000 men are needed for 'the harvest" fields of the North-West. He answers questions through the press as to er- roneous statements about locating workers. There will be no dictation, especially when men have definite plac- es in view. Phere is nothing, however, in this year's arrangements that will prevent men from going to their friends or to those for whom they worked in past years, if they advise such friends or farmers that they are coming, so that such friends and far- mers do not engage others. The fare to Winnipeg is $10 and on arrival 'at that place a pass is given over the C. P.R. to any point the men desire to go to. Then Mr. McKellar adds : "For those who have never been here to help in harvesting and who have no particular place to go, we arq arranging that they shall be met at Winnipeg bv delegate farmers from all points in the province and taken out to their various districts. This 1s to prevent congestion at any stations. A pass is also: given to all such from Winnipeg to destination. "There is no interference with = men who know their destination, and every assistance possible is to be given by the officials of this department in locating those who may come to as- sist us for the first time. There is nothing, therefore, to deter anyone from coming. Thev are wanted, and thev will receive every attention and assistance possible." MARCONI SATISFIED.

Kingston, Aug, 11.--(To the Edit- or): We all know something of the truth of the fable concerning the man who could not manage to dispose of his donkey to the satisfaction of all kis neighbors; and none have so much reason to know it by experience as the managers of charities; who are always subject to most contradictory criticism. Not long ago, the directors of the House of.Industry seemed to be supposed to err in the direction of ex- travagance. Now injsome- quarters agcused of being | too niggandly in providing for their charge ! This is an accusation which would hardly be made by anyone who would take ~ the troulle to visit the institution © at meal times. 'The garden is this vear, producing an excellent crop of veger- ables, which make a welcome addition to the ordinary somewhat meagre Lill of fare. But it is as well that the public should realize the actual finan- yeial position of the House of Industry which® will have to be improved by the gifts of generous citizens if * the inmates are to be supplied. --in abcord- ance with the Golden Rule, with all the comforts which aged and weakly people most really require. At the last meeting, the board took a careful survey of the state of their funds, and found that they had only 8500 to de- pend on, till next February, for the maintenance of an institution whose running expenses amount to about #200 per month ! - It may naturally be asked why the expenses outrun the re'cipts, which some years ago were found sufficient. One reason is--that the receipts are less;--owing to the great decrease in the number of paying inmates. Anoth- | er is--the increase cost of nearly all the articles of diet, and cspe:ially the greatly increased cost of fuel, which, alone, constitutes a heavy item of ex- pense. It obvious therefore, that the public must come forward with the means, if the inmates are to . be is supplied adequately to their needs, as a generous public doubtless lesires. All subs riptions and donations. with be duly acknowledged, and all sult scribers of at least {dur dollars will be qualified to vote at the next annu- al meeting. A number of the old men in the institution have been accustom- ed to smoke and, like all smokers feel keenly the deprivations of tobacco. It wilt-of course be seen that under pre- sent circumstances, the board have no money to spend on tobacco, and a grant of free tobacco which they had for a year and a half is now exhaust- ed." If, therefore, any of your readers who smoke and can sympathize with the smokers in the House of Indus- try, will send to the superintendent, either a donation of tobacco, or the wherewithal to purchase it, they need not fear that their gift will not be heartily appreciated. And directors can- not make © bricks without straw !--A DIRECTOR. : -- One Of The Oldest. Gananoque Journal. The Rathbun company is at present demolishing an old frame building just west of their coal and wood of fice, and from what we can find out it is one of the oldest buildings in town. The nails were all hanl-made and the laths used were anything hut uniform in width; some being ene half i and others two inches wide. ] rs. John and W. Lashay informed the Journal: that fifty years ago it was considered an old building and for many years a grocery store was conducted in it by a Mr. McEwan, who supplied the bateaus with pork, flour, potatoes, and other provisions. He also baked bread and supplied it to them in large quantities. At that time eggs sold for-five cents per dozen; wood was seventy.five cents per cord, and other necessities of life were equally as cheap. The building was struck by lightning no less thap three times, and on one occasiog, it came down the chimney and killdl a dog Iving on the floor in front of a tradle in which a child was sleeping. It passed out through the door, Jug a deep furrow in -the earth, and <plit a rock on the water's edge. | The pecu- liavity of it was that the chill was not disturbed by it and slept peaceful: lv on_for several hours. Several par: ties. at present residing in town, were married in this building, which, when cleared away. removes another old land mark erected nearly a century a00. ---------- Praised His Work.
