Uhig YEAR 78 'NO. 257 BOOM ASSURED When Proposed New Hotel is - Erected. CIZENS WILL VOTE IN FAYOR OF THE MEASURE ON NOV. 16TH. All Representative Men Arve in Favor of the By-law--More Kx. pressions of Opinion \Are Given, v E. E. Horsey, general anager of the Lake Ontario and Bax of Quinte Steamboat company, in addition to being in favor of the proposed hotel scheme as a means of boosting the city, said it would benefit the trans portation companies. He said his company spent between $3,000 gd $4,000 a year in advertising, much of which was lost owing to the fact that the tourists could not obtain the hotel accommodatton here they de sired. The hotels here, he said, were doing the best they could under the ciroumstances, but would have in. creas.d business if this new owe was built, James Swift, sr., head of the firm of James Swift & Co., thinks a large hotel wuch as is being contemplated, would be the means of lifting King ston out of the rut into which it has been for so long, It would mean in creased Businees for everybody, in cluding the present hotels. J.B, Walkem, K.C., has long de plored the lack of firft-class hotel nccommodation in the eity, He thinks the iron is now hot, and we must strike. He believes the ratepayers are going to pass a measure which will place Kingston where it = should be--in the front rank of summer resorts, und benefit trade. Samuel Anglin, one al the city's most experienced and leading busi ness men, says in spite of all state ments to the contrary he believes Kingston is going shepd. The houses are all rent ond scores are being built every year. Mr. Anglin is in favor of anythiry to boost the old town, cipecially any propodtion as safe as the present hotel scheme. F. Conway, gonural freight and pas senger agent. of the Kingston & Pem- broke railway, says he is in favor of the hotel scheme, and he hopes that the ratepayers will pass it on election day. Mr. Conway points out that Kingston je an ideal convention eity, but that very few conventions are held here, for the simple reason: that there is not ample hotel accommoda- tion. With the new hotel the city would be in a better position to meet the demand. William McCammon, market clerk, believes that the hotel proposition is une of the best things that has ever been put before the people. He says that he will vote for it. If he had six voles lie would cast them in favor of it. "l believe the day this hotel is opened, Ningston will receive a boost it badly needs. 1 also think those who at prosent eater to the needs of the travelling public will be benefited. The board of trade has a proposition which we cannot afford throw down." This ix H. D; Ribby's opinion in the matter, "I cannot wee why first-class hotel accommodation eunvot do for King ston what it has done for (uebee, in bringing streams of touri ind in creased business," was thy statement of W.

TREATY OF GHENT CELEBRATION PLANS Secretary of Peace. Society Would Also Mark Rush-Bagot Centenary. Washington, Nov. 4.~That quate provision can be made the proposed celebration of the treaty of Ghent, December 31st, 1514, between Great Hritain and the United States unless the British parliament and the United States congress take the matter in hand, is the opinion of Dr. Benjamin ¥. Trueblood, secretary of the American Peace Society. It is not improbable thmt congress will be asked this winter to appoint a committee to represent the: United States in making arrangements for the eslebration. Dr. Trueblood believes that the sign- ing of the Rush-Bagot agreement in 1817, when Great Britain and the United States practically abolished ull armaments on the great lnkes, was an event of equal importance with the signing of the Ghent treaty, and it should receive equal attention when the celebration is held, ade for no ANCIENT CANADIAN RELICS RECOVERED.

BACK T0 THE PEOPLE THOUSANDS OF ACRES ARE BE. ING SOLD OFF. Ax a Result of the Heavy Taxation the Lords are Restoring the Land to the People, Who Will Cultivate It. London, Nov. 4.-~One of the most notable and lasting effects of the French revolution was the transfer of the ownership of the land of France from the feudal aristocracy to the weople. In England this process has Jo going on peacefully and almost unnoticed ducing the last twelve months at a rate which if continued much longer will accomplish as great a change in the ownership of the land of England as the revolution did in in that of France. Enemies of the present government ny that the owners of land feel that they are no longer safe, and that ibev have been foreed to sell hy the new policy of taxing land. As far as the amount of the tax is concerned this is absurd but there is no doubt that the fear of heavier taxation now that the principle has been establish- ed has had some effect. Among the notable land sales of the past year was that of the Duke of Bedford's Devonshire estate which realized £2,500,000. Most of the land was bought by the tenants. The Duke of Sutherland, who is buying up thousands of acres in Canada sold 1,380 acres at Trentham in Stafford: shire for about $125,000, and Vis- count Clifden has unloaded 2,030 acres in Oxfordshire, for $210,000, an estate in Cornwall for. $65,000 and one in Cambridgeshire for $235,000, Another big sale was that of Lord Bondesborough"s estates in Yorkshire which netted about $640,000, while Lord Lansdowne, the famous tory leader in the House of the Lords, pot over $179,000 for 1,060 acres in Wiit- shire. So far no figures are available as to the total sales this year, but they will run into many millions of dollars and there are lots more to come, NO LIQUOR WITH MEALS, Casual Guest Cannot be Served Sun. days.
