THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, ne, ARRNES SAFELY. IN JAPAN Ex-ALD, WILLIAM DUNLOP WENT FROM KINGSTON To Visit His Son, Rev. Dr. J. G. Dun- lop--Quite © Hot in Japan--Mr. Dunlop ( Timbs to Volcano. The Whig is % Tecelpt of an in- teresting lettér from Ex-ald. William 'Dunlop, from Kanawzwa, Japan, where he went to pay a visit to his son, Rev. Dr. J. G. Dunlop. Mr. Dunlop says he had. a very cold voyage across the Pacific, but that since his arrival, it has been very hot. They were three severe electrical storms. Two dwellings 'were. struck by lightning, but luckily no person was injured. anawzwa' is the summer resort for the missionaries and others, and it is where the volcano Assama is : located, - It is 8,600 feet High. Mr. Dunlop has cHinbed it, The former Kingstonian made his rip across thé Pacific on the Em- ress of Asia, a very fine steamer to travel on. * It is of interest tp note that Mr. 'Dunlop has two sons and a grandson in England and France. His daugh- ter, Miss Margaret Dunlop, has vol- unteered for overseas service from a Massachusetts hospital as a nurse. The son in Japan is engaged in mis- Kionary work. Buying the Orchards. The Ontario Govérmment bought the majority of the orchards at Wel lington and have rented the fruit storage of W. P. Niles, Limited, where the fruit will be packed and boxed for shipment to the boys at the front. This will give employ- ment to a large number of men and boys, as a large quantity of hoxes will be made as well as the picking and packing of the fruit. We un- derstand that Lester Smith, who has been employed for some time by the Ontario Government in this parti- cul branch, will have charge of this locality. CLEARING IT OUT. One of J. Wesley Allison's Promo- tions at Morrisburg. What seems to be the final chap- ter in the history of the Morrishurg Tin Plate Company is now being written. Workmen are engaged In the demolition of the big buildings in which the company, fo some years, manufactured tin plate and sheet steel, and the mac y is be- ing taken out for shipment to Ham- flton. The enterprise, which * at- tracted such wide attention, was promoted about ten years ago by J. Wesley Allison, who secured a con- tract for the erection of the build- ings. The company was capitalized at $1,000,000 and paid-up stock amounted to approximately $400. 000. Shareholders, whose numbers were large and whose expectations were high, were located all over the continent, and some resided in Europe. The company, though a growing concern for a number of years, never paid dividends. There were about two hundred employees, who received good wages while the factory was in operation. It never ran very steadily. One of the rea- sons for the interruption in manu- facturing was the infrequent short- age of power at the electrical power works, whose construction was un- dertaken hy» Morrisburg at a cost of about $800,000, in return for hav- ing the industry located there. Mor- risburg is now left with nothing from the enterprise except the ex- perience and the electrical power house, which latter has been made use of by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario. Mr. Alli- son, the promoter, was not a share- helder, nor was he a member of the board of directors. County Court Case. Justice of the Peace George Hunt- er will have an interesting case on Monday.

Adolphustown, Aug. 17.-- (To the Editor): The hay of Ontario is suf- ficient for Ontario for two years. So says the Government report which 1 know is correct. They advise farm- ers to plough up meadows and sow rye and wheat this fall,, which is also right, and hold surplus hay over in its cheapness now for use next year, which is correct, if all farm- ers could hold, which is doubtful. Now, what about the cattle In Saskatchewan that will have to be sold this fall for want of hay to winter them. Hay is a had failure there, as there has been no rain silice seed time in the spring. This I know to be true from information received from my friends living there. - Here is what one of them says: "The hay is scarce, and I sincere- ly wish we had plenty. It will take 300 loads to put our cattle, sheep and horses through. I am quite cer- tain we cannot get it...and will have to sell part of our. young thorough- bred'stock. There has not been one good rain since the crops were seed- ed, so you can imagine what kind of crops and gardens there are here. We expected to cut plenty of hay off, a 50-acre rye grass meadow, but will not cut it at all, as it is no good. In some localities it is a little bet- ter, but the best is no good." Now, then, the Government owns the C.N/R., why should they not arrange to ship this hay over their road at rates low enough, if not free to meet the requirements of the cattiemen there to winter them in- stead 'of having to sell for slaughter this fall. A move lke this by the Government now that they own this railway is the most commendable act that could be done for the whole Dominion, "That cattle raising in the west needs the greatest care and attention in critical times of neces- sity of feed to protect the beef in- dustry of any. agricultural pursuit. Now is the time to strike for pro- tection of beef. Act--not puff and blow. --FRED MEMBERY. DESERTER USES TABLE LEG ON HIS JAILER Charles Edward Rogers En- listed With Toronto Battal- ion and Later Highlanders Charles E. Rogers, who was re- leased from the penitentiary and al- lowed to join the 253rd Battalion, at Cornwall will come back to serve out the balance of his old sentence --@& year and a half--and a new sen- tence of three years imposed by Po. lice Magistrate Damis, Cornwall, for assaulting his gaoler. Rogers had been stealing from the stores of the 253nd Battalion and was taken to Kingston for trial by courtmartial. The military authorities &ent him back to. Cornwall to be tried under the vil code. Wednesday he attémpted to com- mit suicide in the jail and om being discovered made a flerce attack on the gaoler, T. W, Ault, with the leg of a table. The man had béen un- ruly and made threats of committing suicide and said he would kid any- one who went mear him. Nothing but a table was left in the cell. He was closely watched and when it was discovered that he had torn up is clothing to make a rope with which to hang himself, Mr. Ault went in. Rogers thereupon knocked the table over and broke off one leg with which he attempted to assault 'the gaoler. He was overpowered and placed in irons, On Thursday the magistrate added three years to his old sentente. The man belonged to a Toronto battalion and was sent to the penitentiary for desertion. After four or five months of his sentence was served he was allowed out on parole and joined the 253rd. He claims to be from Texas and says he is twenty-three years of age, although he looks older. He is a powerfully built man, weighing per- haps 175 pounds, and made a fine ap- i pearance in the kilts, RAINED ON THE "COPS." There is Still a Big Leak in the.
