THE REBUILDING OF ROADS) {7 to the Bitor | CHAIRMAN OF SUBURBAN ROAD 1 AREA COMMISSION TALKS. The Road From Portsmouth to Le Moine's Point 'is Being Graded | and Will be Macadamized. A. M. Rankin, chairman of the Suburban Road Area Commission, is making an inspection of the Perth and Sydemham roads to ascertain what improvements can be made to better improve these highways Mr. Rankin is constantly on the "job" when good or better roads are concerned. The work in front of the penitentiary has been completed and the grading of King street from the end of the Rockwood Hospital gronds (limit of Portsmouth), west to L4 Moine's point has been under- taken. , This road will be graded and 'rebuilt on the most modern ac- cepted standard. The crown will not be too high, being half an inch to the foot. It will be macadam surfaced with oil or tar of some kind To decide on the best kind of bind- ing for the top, experiments will shortly be constructed on the Bath and York roads. The latter has started to give and is filled with small holes. These will be repaired and the binding surface applied for a short distance. Money for building these roads is big consideration. "We should have some money from the county and the government," said Mr. Ran- kin. The city's assessment is limited to half a mill, but the Commission secures only two of the three mills levied on the county for roads. Repairing of the side road through Glenburnie and from Connor's cor- ners continues and other roads in that district will require due atten- tion. "Speaking as chairman of the Commission I am trying to have the money spent this vear in perfecting the drainage systems," said Mr. Ran-! kin. "The water must first be tak- en up and then after repairing of the worst places the balance of our money will go into rebuilding of permanent highways." AN IMMENSE PROGRAMME ORANGEMEN CERTAINLY PLAN- NING TO HAVE A "BIG DAY." a Parade of 6,000 Orangemen From the Market to Victoria Park-- Speakers Are Well Chosen. There will be 6,000 visitors in the city for the 'Glorious Twelfth" on Thursday, according to the pre- sent prospects, and all day Wednes- day the officials were busy making the final arrangements for the big celebration. It certainly promises to be a gala day for the followers of King William if the weather man will do his part. There are plans made for a gigantic parade, speech- es from eloquent men of various parts of Ontario, horse, motor-cycle and bicycle races, and so many other things it is expected that the day will go down in history as one of the biggest Kingston has ever seen. In the monster parade, which leaves the market square at 1 p.m. will be thousands of Orangemen. Athens, Newboro, Verona, Harrow- smith, Gananoque, Picton, Marl- bank, Lansdowne, Westport, Syden- ham, and many other centres will contribute with lodge representa- tives, and to these will be hundreds who will have come great distances for the event. The parade will be to Victoria Park. and there some of the finest speakers of the countiy will give addresses. IN MARINE CIRCLES. Steamer K ngston Repaired---Vessel Movements Around Kingston.

WAR RELIEF WORK -- Will Be an Addition to Social Duties at the Islands. The social season at the Thousand PAGE FIVE Western Ontario Crops Splendid. Oakville, July 7.--(To the Edi- tor): I take this opportunity of tell- ing you how I apreciate reading the items sent to the Whig by your local correspondents. In almost every in- stance I notice there is an expression of gratitude for the prospects of good crops which are badly needed. I thought per it might be in- teresting to my many friehds in the vicinity of Kingston to hear some- thing of the condition of the country lying a few miles west of them. On Monday last, in company with some friends we motored from Oak- ville to Hamilton and from there to Brantford. Then we ran out to the little town of Waterford a distance of about eighteen miles, through a most beautiful country, I don't think I ever felt so small in all my life, as we rode past those elegant farm houses, and the big bank barns, surrounded by acres of orchards, acres of strawberr! and small fruits, then to look t on the fields of hay and waving n. IT couldn™ help making the remark--I don't know whether I am right or not-- but I say the farmer is the man that has the 'world by the neck' if he only knew it. And how is it so many city people will term the farmer as a "hay seed", "moss back" and so on. 1 tell you right now I beliéve the most of the farmers are in pos- sessfon of the kind of "moss" the most of us are after, but mark you those things don't come to the far- mer who does not work for them good and hard too. Do you know I felt that I wouldn't mind being back in the "swim" myself, but I'm not. We motored back to Oakville and found in looking at the register that we had covered just one hundred and twenty miles. I think it is needless to say that we enjoyed the trip, but I fee! it my duty to say that I don't see how the country could possibly look better. I think we are a fav- ored people in that respect. May our boys who have gone to the front be rewarded in their noble effort to save our conutry from the hands of the enemy is the best wish of SHERMAN G. POWLEY A Reply to Dr. J. W. Edwards. Kingston, July tor): So Dr. Edwards has taken up the cudegels Not in defence this time for his dear Nationalist friend Sevigny, yard. He denies the statements made at the Veterans' meeting, Oct. 19, 1914. Now I have three or four reputable men in this city who heard him make such remarks. Even th pleasing words of W. F. Nickie could not gloss over the rash statement nor ij make these true British men forget it. I suppose 'you will deny the charge that you said the same night that a man before the war could not stand up and say be was a Canadian without a blush of shame. You may have felt that way, but there were men there that blushed for shame at your utterances. You state it is false that you sup- port the worst anti-British stripes of them. Now you have backed Sevi- guy, who is a Bourassa man. What is tire platform of the Nationalists if not equal to that Irish element, the Sinn Feiners. I really do not know what to call it if not anti-British, and of the very worst kind. All Canada knows both platforms, and men with the true British blood in them think they all should be shot and all who back them up. Again, to try and cover up other parts of the letter you attack the British Whig, a just, clean, manly pa- per, giving every man fair play in its columns regardless of race, creed or politics. Don't do that doctor. All the rest of the letter you do not deny so it must be correct. Do not be so erratic and shoot over the mark; take a few lessons from the Nation- alists how to be a smooth, gentle- manly politician. Yours truly, --JAMES TRAVERIS.
