Wheler, counsel for the argument in defense of enforcement of all laws covering the liquor ques- tion. Mr. Raney answered the argu- ments advanced by previous Cana- dian witnesses, who appeared as wet advocates, and was privileged to put into the record of the hearing his ob- servations of the Canadian "govern- ment control" acts and assertions in support of the strictest control of the liquor 'traffic. Mr. Raney declared that the On- tario experiment in the legalized sale of mnon-intoxicating beer had fallen "flat"'and he urged against any modi- fication of the American dry laws by allowing light wines and beer. He asserted his belief that much Ameri- can hard liquor was being smuggled into Canada and '"'bootlegged' illeg- ally, but held that moderately suc- cessful efforts were being made to control this illicit traffic. He pointed out that Canada would be much bet- ter off morally if the whole dominjon was 'absolutely dry, instead of per- mitting sale of liguors under so-call- ed "government control."

Claude Dulmage and Stinson Hyett, the two fishermen from Point Tra- verse, Prince Edward county, who have been missing since Wednesday last, returned home safe and sound on Sunday. The fishermen living along the main shore had almost given up hope of seeing their comrades again. Early on Sunday afternoon, while standing on the shore, they noticed a motor- boat coming toward them, and to their ariazement it contained the two fishermen who were almost given up as dead. The boat came in under its own power and, outside of slight colds, the two fishermen wefe none the worse of their experiences. News of their return was telephoned to The Whig late on Sunday afternoon by Mr. Claude Cole of Cape Vincent, N.Y. When speaking to Point Traverse, The Whig learned that the fishermen had been on the Galloup Islands since Thursday afternoon last. Upon their arrival home they stated that | on Wednesday afternoon last, after setting their nets, they attempted to return to their home, but found that the engine in the motor boat would not work. worked for hours they found that it was a hopeless job, and for that reason decided to tie up to the nets, which were about three or four miles from the main shore of Prince Ed- ward county. They remained there until eleven o'clock at night and then Although they | started to drift and remained at the mercy of the waves until Thursday morning. Shortly after daybreak, although very cold from the night's exposure, they put up a sail, which they carried in the boat, and by hard [work they came in pight of the Gal- {loup Islands shortly after noon. {They landed on the ice, which was piled up on the shore of the islands, about two o'clock. {| The Mghthouse-keeper and some of [the people who live on the islands |came to their rescue and cared for {them until Sunday, when they etart- ed for home, arriving about 2.30 o'clock. The motor boat had been pulled | over the ice and onto the main shore, {where the two men worked at the {engine until they succeeded in mak- |ing it go. | Although they would have liked {to return home sooner, it was ime possible on account of the rough sea and also because of the fact that the engine did not run very smoothly. Mr. Dulmage and Mr, Hyett speak in the highest terms of the treatment which they received from the hands {ot the good 'people who live on the |Galloup Islands. It is needless to say that there {was , great rejoicing at Point Tra- iverse on Sunday afternoon: The [wives of the men had not altogether {given up hope for the safe return {of their husbands, but their chances of being safe did not look very pro- {mising.

Fire Destroys Church at Pine Grove: The Blaze Started in Ashes Outside The Pews and Other Furniture Removed -- Structure Was Frame--Oongragation Observed Fiftieth Anni versary a Year Ago. Fire totally destroyed the Pine Grove United Church about two o'- clock on Sunday afternoon when some live coals that had been dump- ed outside the church in some ashes started a blaze in' the grass which spread to the building. It was some time before the fire was noticed, J and by the time help was summon- ed it was too late to take any ef- fectual measures to save the pro- perty. It was found possible, how- ever, to remove the pews, plano and other interior furniture to safety. The Pine Grove Church is a frame bullding and the fiftieth anmiver- sary of its erection was observed last spring. The nearest house is com- back of the church where there is a large hole filled with straw. There was at one time a furnace under the church, but this had been taken out apd the church was heat- ed by a stove. The hole where the furnace was taken out proved so cold that it was filled up with straw, and even though this straw was a more or less frozen condition it was apparently inflammable.
