And so with the thousands of dollars of winter goods coming in, we are beginning to wonder what to do with summer stuff. To offer to give away summer wear in this present period ¥of rain and coolness might seem foolish, but there is a little weather prognos- tication afloat.

So we figure that either the people in Minnitaki- must have a special privil- ege, or otherwise Mr W. W. French is not well informed. ! Now as far as the right or wrong goes of bur present road building policy, please does Mr French think we do not need roads? Does he think for one moment: we have too many roads? Or does he believe our road system is already perfect To be cor- rect we might state that there are '1settlers in our district for over fifteen years, with clearings of between thirty | and forty acres, without roads--of course that is outside his narrow circle. In the Township of Langton fare six settlers, some thirteen, some & | twelve---none less than ten years--and they cannot move a binder from one place to the other.
