Pinault seen, to-day, says that complaints were re- ceived from the soldiers at Sydney. The Halifax men are restive and want to go home. The local corps are aggrieved over not being called out, but the deputy minister explains that it is customary, so far as possible, not to utilize the service of men who would continue to live in the locali- ty. It is better to use outside troops owing to the feeling engendered and the possibility of after results. The minister of militia and defence has been pleased to authorize the en listment of James Maher, as a special case in the Royal Canadian Artillery, as master gunner, and to. appoint him a warrant officer with his former seniority in the R.C.A. Master Gun- ner Maher will be borne as super- numerary to the establishment of the Royal Canadian field artillery, while employed as master-gunner at head: quarters.

An interesting case was tried here in division court by Judge Madden, on the 7th inst., which took up four and one-half hours' time, a case in which Douglas Bartles sustained dam- ages to his horse in a wash-out on the York road last March, the cor- poration of FErnesttown being defen- dants.

Was The Cheese Market at Brock- ville. Brockville, Ont., July 7.--The offer- ings at to-day's cheese board were 815 white and 2,250 colored, indicating a slight falling off in the make, which the salesmen place at about three per cent., for, though the pastures are good, the hot weather, and the flies are rapidly decreasing the flow of milk. The output in this section for June was very large, conceded to be twenty-three per ¢ent. greater than the corresponding month of last year. To- day's offering was the last of the month. President Wilson drew atten- tion to the summary of the market, particularly the statement that ad- vices from England state that export ers irom this state have showered the trade in England with circulars pre dicting that cheese will go as low as 25s. per cewt. He thought that such predictions from, this side were en: tirely without foundation and are cal- culated to exercise an injurious effect upon the trade. All the members co- incided with the views of the presi dent. When the auctioneer proceeded to dispose of the registrations, it was evident that the market was so dull that sales on the board were extreme: ly unlike ely. to occur. The board was called at 7c., and then at 7jc., the latter figure "was offered by a number of buyers without effecting a sale. The price was very disappointing to the salesmen and they went peddling on the curb for hours after adjourn- ment. They were not inclined to hold, if something better than 7ic. was ob- sle, but in most cases the buyers tain held th it, and the volume of business was not transacted which usually marks street sales here. Possibly 5,000 or 6,000 cheese was sold outright at from Tle. to Tie., some cool curin lots commanding the latter figure. It is difficult to ascertain the exact pur- chases going to each buyer. Many factory men are holding for a week and others are sending their lots along to Montreal conditionally.

London, July 8.--Gordon Le Der, who was the late Cecil Rhodes' pri- vate secretary, has come to England from the Cape for the purpose of in- teresting British capitalists in a great project which, he says, will make South Africa as fertile as California. As he himeelf put it, "I want to turn South Africa into a second Gar- den of Eden," and he proposes to do this by irrigation. "It is only water' he said yesterday, "that is needed to make the soil ene of the richest in the world. And the water is there, in million of gallons. The country is a vast underground lake. Government experiments have proved this econ- clusively. Already shafts have been sunk at a cost of 150,000 pounds, and these have produced a water supply Salud as a national asset at 8,000,- pounds. iy 0 South Africa water, and you have se a long way towards sol- ving the labor difficulty, and the country will be able to produce its own provisions, instead of importing 6,000,000 pounds worth. At the same time it will be possible to provide im- mense tracts of land for agricultural ists and openings for trade of overy kind. "The Cape government will pay a subsidy of half the cost of boring for water. Already thousands of applica- tions for drills have been made - to the authorities." "Providing there is water South Africa can grow anything from a bean to a bunch of grapes," remark- ed an official of the British South Africa company. "lf we had a sure and tonstant water supply, Rhodesia would be a paradise. I think there is a great deal in the scheme, and 1 hope Mr. Le Seuer will succeed." Mr. Eckstein, one of the partners of the firm of Wernher, Beit & Co., said the project, if successful, would re- duce the price of living in the coun- try and open up a vast field of agri- culturists. "After all," he said, with a smile, "gold mines may be worked out, but agriculture goes on for- ever." Greatest In Toe World. The New York Tribune is greatly impressed by the crop reports of the Canadian North-West, and in the fol- lowing glowing words tells its read- ers what this great country will yet do. It says: "Canada's wheat crop this promises to exceed that of 1903 by about '30,000,000 bushels. This is a big increase, and, with no abatement likely in succeeding years,' it is easy to be scen what a formidable wheat- producing and exporting competitor the great Canadian North-West . has become and is becoming. It could now, if need were, feed the mother country all by itself, leaving the United States ofit of the question, though it is not likely to be drawn on to that exclusive extent, the territory stands for one of the greatest grainproducers in the whole story of the world, old or new, its edges hardly scratched yet, and it will have its share in determining' the course of empire and development as the years and centuries go on, till its background of production is old as Egypt's and its horn of abundance filled gnd emptied with an equally continfing regularity." Cronje's New Role. San Francisco News Letter] "General Cronje, recently a Boer soldier, hero at Magersfontein, and a vanquished rebel at Paardeberg, has accepted the offer of an American the- atrical manager to try to be an act- or. He is to exploit himself before the footlights of a Louis* playhouse for a stated sum oe money per week, in the leading role in a tation of the fall of the strongh at which he was out-generaled, out-fought, and shorn of fame as a ' great general. For money, he is going to try to re open the issues between Englishman and Boer,. and revive animosities that should not be disturbed in their silent tomb of forgetiulness, over which are growing the flowers of good-will, mu- tual helpfulness, and a desire to re habilitat, the waste places in the Transvaal's social and industrial con- cerns. Better for General Cronje had a bullet ended bia life, while defend- ing Paardeberg than that he should parade a mimic representation of that bloody affair, before a gaping crowd of "sensation seekers." year Extra fine mountain cake, 25¢. a Ib. at Ferguson's.
