A young man, hailing from Toronto, who has been spending a few days in the city, was before the court Friday morning, charged with driving his car at an immoderate rate of speed, and when he pleaded guilty, the magistrate imposed a fine of $10 and costs. : % : It is stated that the young man made the rounds of the city streets at a very fast clip, and that the lives of people were endangered. For disorderly conduct, near the corner of Clergy and Barrie streets, a few night ago, a youth was taxed $3 and costs. A resident of. that neighborhood gave evidence in the case, and told .the magistrate that young men gathered at his corner, almost -every night, and distugbed the 'peace, with their loud talking and swearing, and throwing stones. The complainant could not identi- fy all the offenders, but he was sure that the youth sumgponed, had been one of the "noise makers." Another youth was summoned or a charge of having had a hand in the noisy celebration, but as he did not put in an appearance, a war torant was issued for his arrest. a former resi- now settled on a Thomas Moakes, dent of Kingston, farm in Saskatchewan, about fifty miles from Regina, is visiting in the city, accompanied by his wife and family. Mr. , Moakes has some sad stories to tell about the people who suffered in the - recent tyclone at Regina, but says that the city is putting forth every . effort possiblé to rebuild the place. Mr. Moakes says that some of the farmers near him had their barns destroyed by the cyclone, but that he escaped. Me has a big farm, is doing well, and likes the west. The west, - just- like the east, is suffering for want of help. Mr. : Moakes says that there is a great scarcity of men for the harvast, and he pointed out how it was that there was such a great scareity. He states that while there are so many settlers going out to the west, some might think that {t would be easy to get help, but it is just the reverse, as the majority going out' to the west go to take up a home- stead themselves, and as soon as they get settled, they are in need of help themselves. Asked about the pay given 'farm Yaborers, Mr. Moakes stated that the farmers were paying from $2.50 to $3 per day, with board. The average rate was $2.50, but in some sections, where the work had to be rushed along, and where it was hard to get mien, $3 was given. | A representative of the Whig. re- cently made a 'trip to western On- tario, and while there, he. found that there was the same scarcity of help as in eastern Ontario. On many farms, he found the women out at work in the fields, compelled to give their husbands a hand with' the hay, as if"was impossible to- get men to. d8 the wark. On every 'side, the Whig man could also see evidence of «thie call to the glorious, west as scores and scores of deserted farms were noticed. Old farms which had been the homestead of a family for years were found to be deserted; houses boarded up, the former occupants having gone" west, or moved into the city. From what could be earned, fhere are some parts of western Ontario sadly in need of a "stay in Ontario" cam- palgn. . . A SPLENDID CONCERT Given the in Macdonald Park by R.C.H.A. Band.

The by-law in July, 1905, gives the railway company the power fo double its tracks in any part of the city. The question struck several of the aldermen whether the present road- way at the "devil strip" was not POW Very narrow. But the more serious matter was brought up when Ald. Litten asked what rails would the company lay on the proposed double tracking, if. Princess street was the next fhoroughfare to be paved. The chairman and Ald. Couper felt this was probably next year. A couple of years ago the paving of the main street was stop- ped owing to the railway company asking the city to lay the new rails necessary. The communication was not properly « handled, and should have been sent to - council first. On motion of Ald. Peters the engineer was instructed to ad- dress it to that body. + WERE LEFT BEHIND.
