'W. Valleau introduced the sub- ject, stating that he believed that the references made by some of the mem- bers of council, were ungentlemuniy and uncalled for, There was nothing in the resolution of the 'cheese board that the council should take objection to, and it should not have been treat- ed in the way it had been treated. J. MoGrath was of the opinion that there was something wrong, that the council had not considered the resolu- tion in the spirit. The dairy As A creamery, in every factory within ten miles of King- The ker himself had fered by it ahd he knew of others who also had suffered. William Pillar, the secretary, asked schools, | that a committee be appeinted to go before the council and explain the matter. He felt that the resolution had ail. C. Langwith advocated the send- ing of a commitice to the council. and it was afterwards decided to have a committee composed of William Craig, the president, F. W. Valleau, J. McGrath and J. Gordon, go before the county council. At the suggestion of Mr. McGrath the committee will also put forth an effort to have the convention of the Eastern Ontario Dairymen's Associa- tion held in hingston next year. Mr. McGrath pointed out that it was thirteen years since this association had met in this city and he believed that if an effort was put forth the convention could be secured. Mr. valleau emphasized the fact that it was not fair to the factorics to have the dairy school open as An creamery. FRONTENAC CHEESE BOARD. Sales Made on The Board on Thurs. day...

Lioyd-George Hard Worker Gets i Lucrative Berth. {| London, June 16.--The prizes which {the English eivil service system offers frequently surprise Americans because of their monetary value. For example | William Henry Clark, the thirty-three year-odl secretary of Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd-George, at s salary tof $4,000 a year, has just been ap- pointed a member of the Indian coun- I¢il, with the portfolio of the depart- ! ment of mines and commerce. In that | position he will receive a salary of 26,677 a year and have two official | residences, one at Simla and the other at Caleutta. This promotion is his reward for his unremitting work as secretary to 1loyd-George. For months last year Clark went with less than four hours' sleep at night and he proved himself a zealous, capable aid. Clark entered the civil service as a examinations, board of trade by Lloyd-George when the latter was president of the board. The promotion is criticized severely by the leaders of the oppwsition, who ton- {tend that there are many older and 'equally deserving civil servants who are as much entitled to the Indian council portfolio. Clark's appointment came about in a singular way. Lord Morley, the sec- retary for India, asked the chancellor of the exchequer to recommend some one who would be useful in carrying | out Mérley's pendiniz administrative | reforms. Morley has found the great: est opposition to his reform plans among the reactionary members of the | India council. TO DISCUSS MATTER. Pe Not Want to Have the Canal Closed.
