The Reported Increase in Population | Came as Surprise to Many Citiz- ens--Quite a Number of Newcom- | ers Here, The fact that there has been an | ine rease of 1,221 in the population of | ! Kingston during the past year comes | as no surprise when it is known that! houses are very scarce in the city. | There are some people who have been hunting for houses for weeks, and have not been able to find one. "To Let" cards are not seen as | much as they were a short time ago. { The big rush of work on munitions at the locomotivé works has helped to fill up quite a number of the houses suitable for workingmen. | Then again, quite a number of new { houses have been erected, and when {al these houses have been filled there {1s sure to be an increase in the popu- | lation, "I had no idea that there would be such an increase in the popula- tion," said an old resident of the city to the Whig, "and I was more than surprised to read in the Whig that | there had been such an increase. 1 am glad of it. If 'we only had some- thing to keep more of our young men and women at home it would be a great thing for the city. More industries are needed; but the fact that we have such a good record while the war is on shows that we are making progress." Driving around the city a person would have rather a hard task to gee many vacant houses. Will Go Overseas. Pte.

Buyers Have to Bid High if They Want to Get Cheese--Everyone Willing to_Sell at a High Price There was almost a stampede on the Frontenac Cheese Board on Thursday afternoon, when all pre- vigsg records in the history of the rd were broken for the price of The price was started at about 19 g) and up it went with flying smashing all former prices, reached the record, and as the buyers were loudly applauded by the salesmen. The price soared to 22 until it | 1-16 cents, and at this figure every 'man who had cheese to sell was quite i willing to dispose of it. It was the best price ever derived for cheese, and everyone was happy. The salesmen went away with Sunny Jim smiles on their faces, and all were of the one opinion, and this was that the meeting was the best in the history of the board. But there was a secret to it all. Everyone boarded cheese, and this was the means of the price going up. When every member boards his cheese, the buyer has to put up the price to get it; when he knows that he can get it off the board, he does not need to put up the price. This is a matter that has been threshed out many times on the local board. Be- fore the bidding started at Thurs- day's meeting the old question was {taken up again, with the result that there was a good offering of cheese | and the very best prices was secured, | In Marine Circles | s A start was made on Thursday in the raising of the steamer Simla, which went down near the Narrows at Brockville.
