Donald Maclean, Aged Twelve, Son of Andrew Maclean, Sr. King Street, Meets Instant Death--The Cyclone Tore Down Poles, Trees And Wires--The City's Power Cut Off. -. Kingston was visi'ed at ncon Friday by the worst cyclone that has broken over this district in twenty-five years. One death and much destruction to telegraph, tele- and electrical powsr wires resulted. Donald Maclean, the iwia 36g i ut of Andrew Maclean, Sr., King street, was the Victim of the cyclone, which a few minutes but shook the city ike a terrier would shake a rat. The squall struck the city about 12.15 noon when so many people were on their way home, and there was a great rush to cover, to escape from falling branches of trees, 'wires and debris generally. The city's power lines were crippled owing to wires béing down. LAD STRUCK BY ROOF DEBRIS Donald Maclean, aged twelve, son of Andrew Maclean, Sr, King street, was struck by a part of the roof of the Murney tower, Macdonald Park, that was carried up Barrie street, over Prot. James Cappon's house, and fell on the lad who was coming home from Victoria public school accompanied by his cousin. ~The cousin escaped. The little chap was tenderly carried into Prof. Cappon's house, and Dr. Carruthers, house surgeon ot the General hospital, was called, as was also Dr. D. E. Mundell, , coroner. Death was instantaneous, and the coroner pronounced it due te accident. Robert J. Reid's ambulance was called and conveyed the body of the boy to his fath- e's home. Donald Maclean was a bright boy, and his happy disposition won him friends everywhere. He was popular with his school chums and his death is deeply deplored. The deep sympathy of the city goes out to the bereaved parents.

At Slighly Over 10 Pounds to Gallon, That Amount Would Cost 28c. Toronto, Sept. 30.--A year-rouna net cost of $2.86 per cwt. for milk production {s shown in the latest re- port of Hon. Manning Doherty's cost of production committee, appointed some time ago to review from time to time the cost of producing milk for human consumption.--As milk weighs slightly over 10 pounds to the gatlon, the cost, according to the figures of the report, would be ap- proximately 28 cents a gallon. The committee allots the cost as follows: Feed, $1.67; manual labor, 90 cents; depreciation, 21 cents; in- vestment, 20 gents, and incidental ex- penses, 21 cents, making up a total gross cost of '$3.09. Against this is credited the proceeds of the sale of manure, and ealves at the rate of 23 cents per cwt, An interesting paragraph of the re- port deals with the changes in value since May 20th, 1921, On this the committee says: "Since May 20th, 1921, the date of issue of the pre- vious report, the values of feeds used in milk production have not greatly fluctuated, "However, the yields of the various feed crops approach this season the point of abnormality that will in- evitably cause changes to be made in the proportions of the various teeds used during the coming autumn and winter. "The hay crop in Western Ontario generally has been an indifferent one, and a failare of thisherop in Eastern Ontario and Quebec will doubtless mean a high price for hay in all of Eastern {anada. The gjlage corn crop, hovever; promised to be un- usually lérge, and, as a consequence, dairy fammers will aim to replace much of the hay usually fed with silage of corn stalks. The cereal teed crops, oats, barley and mixtures of these two grains, are light in yield and weight per bushel, and economy in the ute of these feeds will stim- ulate the use of ordinary purchased concentrites, particularly bran, which ¢aa now be procured at a rea- sonable price." : Owingto the decline in wages paid labor in all industries, the commit- tee has reduced its estimates of the value per'hour of the labor of opera- tor, family and hired help.

RACE FIRES KEPT BURNING Quebec Soleil Has a Funny Story Regarding Hon. Dr. Edwards. Toronto Telegram. Quebec, Sept. 30.-- 'Insolence of Mr. Meighen" is the double column heading on the front page of Le Soleil, the Mackenzie King organ in the ancient capital. Careful perusal of the item accompanying the head- ing reveals that his. insolence con- sists in disdain for the French-Can- adian, a disdain which he has demou- strated by choosing L. G. Belley as postmaster-general. Here's what the Liberal organ has to say of Mr Belley: "No one embodies leas the aspira- tions of his compatriots (French- Canadians, not unhyphenated Cana- dians) than the new postmaster-gen- eral. Mr, Belley has never been cap able of vibrating in unison with ais race, and his attitude at the time of conscription is evidence of it. 'To espouse the cause of his own people, to boil with the same indignation as the rest of his compatriots, to feel his heart beat with the innumerable hearts of his race, that is good for a Laurier, for a Lemieux, for a Be- land, a Lapointe or a Bureau; but the sympathies of a Belley go straight to the politicians who, ia spite of their undertakings, imposed conscription upon us, without right or justification, to satisfy political ends and to hide from the people their misdeeds and incompetence." Stood Up Against Bishop. If the hearts of Ontario people fall to vibrate in unison with the writer of this indictment, let them read fur- ther: "But that is not all," says Le Sol- eil. "Mr. Belley has a past which naturally points him ou: for Mr. Meighen's favor, and that we hava the sad duty of recalling to our com- patriots. Breaking with the best traditions of his race, Mr. Belley one day stood up against his bishop, he fought agains the Eudiste Fathers of Chicoutimi, and he dragged before the tribunals Monseigneur Labrecque and the cure Labrecque. Such au attitude, so repugnant to French- Canadians, cannot fail to be agree- able to the Meighens, the Edwards the Guthrie's and those whom th? Belleys, the Normands and toe Montys now have for colleagues." Another sample is an apocryphal despatch from Ottawa to the effect that after the ewearing in of the members of the new cabinet, while they were all shaking hands with each other, Dr. Normand advanced , with extended hand to press Dr, Ed- wards to his heart. "Dr. Edwards, the Quebec reader is fold, turned on his heel, muttering: "Shake hands with a popish knight, never!" It is explained that even medicine and polities combined cannot reconcile these two, one of whom is a knight {of the Order of St. Gregory, and the other of whom is a knight of the Or- "|ange Order. ee CHEAPER BEER IN HULL. | Hotelkeepers Make Reduction of 30 | Per Cent.

A GREAT MERGER . 18 SUGGESTED Interstate Commerce Commis si roposes Nineteen Qe Systems. 3 Washington, Sept. 30.--The inter state com comm announces ed a tentative programme for con- solidating all major railroads of the United States into 19 great systems, and gave notice that hearings would! be called upon it soon. The step was taken under provis- ions of the transportation act, which allows the consolidation, if voluntary with the railroads concerned. Th proposal now put forward by the commission follows, in the main, that prepared under its direction by Prof. William Z. Ripley, of Harvard. The commission's proposed 19 sys- tems, as outlined today, provide for retention of the competitive arrange- ment of transportation lines, giving most sections of the country access to two or more of the great routes de« vised. The principle followed im making up the consolidations was that of hitching weaker and less pro fitable roads to more prosperous com- petitors, or connections, at the same time maintaining the identity very largely existing great railroads, In some cases branch lines of ex- isting roads are suggested for did » vorce from present owners and ats to other systems with rearrangement of termina] facilities; It is expected that the proposal] with alternative arrangements which the commission has suggested, par« ticularly with reference to New Eng- "Hand, will be under consideration and argument for a prolonged period, as permission of the commission and PRINCESSE HEANA | The younger daughter of Queen Marie! of Rumania, who will visit the Unite States with her mother ---------- Gasoline Car to Run.
