The roads in the residential sections would last from five to ten years. At the ex- pirgtion of that time they would quire to be rebuilt, at a cost of about] twelve cents a square yard. "Ald.

Montfeal, Nov, 24.--The Canadian cattle trade will in no way be affect- ed by the quarantine placed on New Youk and Pennsylvania by the United States government ag the: result of the discovery of an outbreak of foot and mouth disease, is declared by lo cal cattle dealers. Since the quaran- tine was -declaréd last week! therechas been ' no noticeable differénee in the trade at the local markets and re- ports 'from Toronto state that the market there is as active as former- ly: The contention of of the Buffalo aealers that the diseased cat- tle which started the outbreak came from Canada is indignantly denied by those interested im. the trade here. It is pointéd out that owing to the sys- tem of government ifspection in force at the shipping points and stock yards it' would be impossible for' dis: eased cattle to be sent to the Buffalo market from any point in the do- minion. Canada has been remarkably free from the foot and mouth disease so dreaded by cattlemen. It is not gen- erally known that, a wvigid system of government inspection --is- iff force. Government inspectors are stationed at western 'shipping points and also at all packing plants and stock yaras and all cattle have to be passed hy these men before they can be exported or slaughtered for home consumption. This system was inaugurated in Sep- tember, 1907, and since' that time there has not been a single case of foot and mouth "disease reported in Canada. There were a few itolated cases in the Eastern Townships, Que- hee, and on the western ranches pre- vious to that time, but €anada has never been troubled with a serious epidemic such as now prevails in the United States, Reports from Oftawa state that the quarantine established by Canada will be rigorously enforced and will he continued until all possible danger is over, Cattlemen in Montreal do not appear to be worrying very much over the matter, "though it is admitted that if the quarantine is long con- tinued it may mean. that packers and shippers will have to pay higher pric- es. It happeas, however, 'that there is an unusually: large supply of Cana- dian cattle the market as, on ac- connt-nf the drought in many sections of Ontario and Quebec there is a very small-supply of feed for winter and farmers are selling off many of their cattle in order to sive the expense oi -keeping them through the winter. | The supply in Western Ontario is also {said to beslarge and packers here do {not look far any big advance in prices some on » / for the sick room and nursery, AN INVA How Would_ Britain.

L0% ROBERTS VIEW THINKS A MILLION MEN "SHOULD BE READY, The Question of Invasion is Differ- ent to What it Was in 1905-- Lack of Big Army Was An In. centive _to-Invasion--Remarks of Other Lords. : London, Nov. 24.--An important significant debate. was initiated. by Earl Roberts, ex-commander-in-chief of the British troops, in 'the House of Lords, yesterday, the key .-note of which was the ease with which Gér- many might invade Great Pritain and the unreadiness of the latter country toy resist invasion. Earl Roberts' no- tice of motion attracted the larges attendance in a considerable time. Earl Roberts. scouted of thase bent upon 1% army further, that an invasion an impossibility, 'a nightmare of few alarmists, le, and others, he said, had ° unflertaken careful ve- searches, the result of which proved that the : questioif of invasiofi® was entirely different from what it wasin 1905 when Mr, Baliour declared Great Britain was immune, The earl set forth lengthy technical and other grounds for wholly dis- believing War = Secretary Haldane's new territorial army could be either large enough or efficient enough to repel invasion. There ought, he declared, to be a citizen army of a million men instead of 200,000( no smaller force could hope successfully to meet 150,000 highly trained con- tinental soldiers and fulfil the other duties which would be concurrently demanded of it in the event of an invagion. The want of such an army, the earl declared, was an incentive to invasion. Lord. Cromer cordially endorsed Earl Roberts, but depreciated a sug- gestion that the government be press- ed for .a definite statement concerning the: invasion problem. Ex-War Se- eretary Middleton also concurred with Farl i berts. i arl_of Crewe, the government leader, sai te thought Fart Roberts had tdken a very serious step. He hoped | no misunderstanding would arise gutside of Great Britain as to the discussion. The Marquis of Lansdowne agreed with Lotd Roberts in many respects, but he doubted if an army of a million citizens could be any more effective to resist a highly trained foreign army than the present re: cruits. i Earl Roberts' motion was carried against the government by n vote of 74 to 32. was a SMALLPOX IN TORONTO. Quebec Province Free Because Vaccination. Toronto,. Nov. 24. --Reports of five municipalities, chiefly rural, where smallpox has broken out, were made to the, provincial health department, of yesterday.

J: John Uasey was driving the atitomo- bile up-= Broadway, when, north of Thirty-fourth stre the chain which had become loose, caught in the slot. The automobile was quickly brought to a halt, and' an inspector, armed with a long stick, poked gingerly at the chain, which caught on the charg- ed rail, making a short circuit and darkening the ears stalled south of the automobile.
