In 1865 Mr. Perry was elect- ed reeve of Barrie and set as a mem- ber, of the County Council for Fron- tenac.

In 1871 he moved from Barrie to Camden, During his term of office in Abe County Council, the largest law- suit which was held was heard ' in connection with the timber allowan- ces in the county. The McLaren's of Perth were accused of taking about $2,390 worth of stumps. James O'- Reilly was counsel for the county while Mr, Morrison, feed merchant, was foreman of the Jury. Mr. Perry, who was very much interested in the Case, can well : remember driving eighteen witnesses to Kingston to give evidence. On account of there being no railroads, it was necessary for the witnesses to ride to King- ston on a lumber wagon. The trip took two days. The county got judg- ment for $2,390, Mr. Perry can well remember whén the late E. J. B. Pense, pro- brietor of thé Whig, reported the sessions at the county council during his term of office. He kept a number of hounds fdr the convenience of hunters. Kingston parties composed of Judge Burrows, States Consul. Hans, Mr. Mingy, of the customs office, Frank Draper, John Frasér and Hugh Ralson, paid a visit to his home and went out hunting.

Western Canada is Finding a Good Market for Product, Notable developments are taking place this fall in. the fisherfes of Western Canada. The andbounce- ment is made by the Grand Trunk Pacific authorities that whitefish is now being shipped in car lots from + | Lesser Slave Take in Northern Al- berta to Chicago. The construction of the Edmonton, Dunvegan, and British Columbia Railway northward from the main line of the G. T. P. has made this lake accessible, and In its waters are great numbers of fish. Two companis have been formed to carry on the fishing in the lake, and the Canadian Express Company is being called upon to supply special refrigerator care to take the fish to Edmonton and thence by way of the Grand Trunk Pacific to Winnipeg and by connecting lines to Chicago. A great distributing point for fresh fish, the Chicago market states that it can take all the whitefish that can be sent from Western Canada, and the trans- portation companies, it is expected, will have to enlarge their arrange- ments next year to meet the growing traffic. Chicago is also taking from Canada large quantities 6f fresh Prince Rupert halibut, and the fish- ing industry ie very brisk at the new Pacific Coast port. Over fifteen, mil- lion pounds of fish handled in the month of August was Prince Rupert's record. While the salmon end of the industry 'was the largest part of the business, halibut showed up well, with. 2,106,400 pounds landed at this '4port. The salmon pack for the month represented 12,999,700 pounds of fish, representing it a modest valua- tion well on for three-quarters of a Of the salmon cateh, 4,060 bundredweight was used fresh or shipped fresh. There was about 223 bundredweight that _was mild cured, while the remainder was canned. In the canning process, 149,- 527 cases were taken care of during August. There were 14,000 pounds of cod taken and used fresh, and founders represented 1,000 pounds. ett BIG WHEAT FIELDS. Some of Canada's Huge Western Farms Breaking Records. A farmer in the . Lethbridge dis- trict figured early in the harvesting Season that a reasonable estimate of his wheat crop would be 2,500 bush- els. After he had finished threshing he found that he had underestimated the total yield by 2,580 bushels. Cawpbell & Son, prominent farm- ers of the Burdett district, have se- cured an average of 53 bushels from 640 acres, and they have just loaded several cars of the crop, 'at a price to them of 83 cents, Thomas Judson, the well-known Taber farmer; has a yield of 65 bush- els to the acre from 50 acres. Joe Jolin of Retlaw .had an average of 60 from 20 acres. Grain yields in thé Magrath dis- trict are breaking all previous re- cords, From the reports coming in it is almost certain that the entire wheat crop of the district will aver- age better than forty bushels . to the acre. The best yields reported thus far come from: the well-known John I. Chipman farm just south of Magrath. Mr. Chipman's wheat averaged slightly better than sixty bushels per acre, while his field of barley made the splendid average of 75 bushels. Probably the most remarkable crop threshed is that of Emil Ehlert's. Mr. Eblért was bailed out last July and was awarded 85 per cent. hail insurance. With the long spell of ideal growing weather fol- lowing this disaster thé grain took on new life and even ripened before the frosts came. Mr. Rhlert has Just finished- threshing this crop and obtained a 45-bushel average. Mr. Ehlert thinks that his entire crop would have gone better than 70 bush- els per acre had it not suffered so seriously from the hail.--The Leth- bridge Daily Herald. et Ein Didn't Get a Job. In the earlier nineties Sir Macken zie Bowell was Federal Minister Trade and Commerce.

The universities of Canada have now for some time. been working loyally together to reinforée that gal- lant regiment the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. Three companies have already gone over- Sea, numbering nearly 900 men, and a fourth company is mow under for- mation at Montreal. The University Companies are now known throughout the length and breadth of Canada, so that there is 4 continuous flow of men of the right 'type to Montreal. Not only do such men find entry to a famous regiment but they are rapidly equipped and trained and semt without delay over- sea to England, where they are com- fortably billeted in huts at an excel- lent camp near the sea on the south coast of England. Moreover the men secure the great advantage of good comradeship with congenial spirits of similar tastes and antece- dents, The first company under a notable officer, Captain Gregor Barclay, has been declared by regular officers of experience to be second to none com- Pared with any company of any army in the world. The second company was raised over-strength in seven weeks by Cap- tain G. McDonald and Captain Percy Molson. Both companies are now in France. The third company sailed eighty over strength because the newspaper Publishers of Canada were good enough to make known, through their columns, {hat the company was being formed. This resulted in such a rush of recruits that it was neces- Sary to apply to the Militia Council of Ottawa for a special authority to Increase the strength from 250 to 330 men. Each man before embarkation writes to a friend who is a likely re- crult afl tells him of the advantages of the Universities Company, so that even before the men have disem- barked a fresh company is assemb- ling on the McGill campus at Mont- real. Recruits are examined locally by an Army Medical Officer and are at- tested by a magistrate in the nearest city, after which an application is made for tramsportation, which is speedily furnished from Montreal. This, systein is effective and rapid, and free from red tape. There are in nearly every city representatives of the various universities who are alweys ready to help forward the good work, and to give information to men anxious to enlist. ment, pay, and separation allowances are precisely the same as those for other Canadian troops. At Moatreal; the University lends buildings for barracks, and the cam- pus for drill ground, Afliation with the McGill Officers Training Corps is a great benefit, and interesting tacti- cal work is carried out on the slopes of Mount Royal.
