W “Above us stands no competing Stock, Below us lie no competing Prices.” Friday, April 25th, 1890. Trent Valley Canal. We clip the following from the report of the proceedings in the House of Com- mons on the let inst: Mn. BARRON. Before the Orders of the Day are called, I desire to state to the hon. the First Minister that I have recently received a rather important letter from my riding, regarding the bridge across the Fenelon River. It is important that that bridge should be attended to, for the sake of navigation from the upper lakes to the lower lakes, and some of the people in that part of the country are anxious that the work should be gone on with as soon as pos- sible. I should like also to know from the First Minister, whether, in case the Trent Valley Commissioners do not re- port bcfore the .close of the Session, it will be possible to have their report, to- gether with the evidence taken, printed and distributed to the members of this House during the recess, in order that they may prepare themselves to discuss it intelligently next Session. SIR. J out: A. MACDONALD. I think I can inform my hon. friend that the report will be printed and distributed as suggestd. As regards the evidence, I suppose that will follow, but I do not like to say positively that it will be printed. As to the first part of his question, it he will give me a memoran- dum of what he requires, I will attend to it. We will commence the Season with BARGAINS. We will continue the Season with BARGAINS.

IiENT SrPIlEE'ZF, IJINDSA17. The Coming Election. Although the Mail and Empire have stated that the elections for the Legis- lative Assembly are to be held on the 5th of'June, the Globe, which is likely to be quite as well informed on the subject as either of its Conservative contemporaries, has not yet fixed the date. There can be no doubt, however, that the momentous event is near at hand, and in many constituencies the candidates of both political parties have been already chosen. In this riding of East Victoria we are not so far ad- vanced ; for although our present rep- resentative, Mr. John Fell, has for some little time been in the field as the Con- servative standard-bearer, the name of his opponent will not be known until after the Reform convention, which is to be held in Dickson’s hall in this vil- lage on Tuesday, the 6th of May, com- mencing at 1 o’clock in the afternoon. The trouble with the Conservatives of this constituency seems to be that so many were anxious to be the party can- didate that the nomination for the third time of Mr. Fell has offended some of the ambitious aspirants to parliament- ary honours ; indeed we have heard that at least two of them are prepared to run as “ independents,” pledged to give Mr. Mowat a "‘ general ” support, and (we suppose) pledged to themselves to vote against him on special and mo- mentous occasions. The trouble with us lieformcrs is, that although we have at least half a dozen men tlLllCI‘Of whom would make a satisfactory representa- tive, several of them have already dc- clincd nomination on the reasonable ground that their business engagements W.

Gould has not. as far as we know. yet been sounded ; but if that gentleman can be induced to became the Reform candidate there is no one support. It is, we believe, solely owing to the prejudice in favour of home can- didates that he has net been already CATHRO & co. nastiest?starlets:3,342:l a wise Selection, and Mr. Gould, though Opposite McLennan’e Hardware Store, Lindsay. known to and for years has bad business relations with many of our electors, by all of whom he is highly esteemed. Besides this he is a lifelong Reformer, a man of considerable ability and a good speaker; and, if elected, would make a. more useful and creditable representative than two-thirds of the constituencies in Ontario send to To- rcnto. was more incumbent on all true Reform- ers to use every legitimate means to secure the return of supporters of the Mowat administration, for they may rest assured that the most tremendous effort will be made to defeat it; and already facts have come to light show- ing the desperate measures to which the Tories are resorting, in proof of which we append the following, clipped from a recent issue of the Ottawa Free Press: an active part in politics recently receiv- ed aletter from a leader in the Tory councils asking for support in the com- ing election. The letter dwelt upon the necessity for defeating Mowat in the interest of the Federal Government, as the struggle in the next Dominion general election must centre in Ontario, and that the patronage of the Provin- cial Administration can be made avail- able to help the party. They count pen the French language only and the Equal Rights movement to help in de- feating Mowat, while Sir John Macdon- aid will take care to give liberal subsi- dies to railways which have not been thus recognised by the Ontario Govern- ment. The writer asks for a subscrip. tion of $1,000 to the party fund, atd says that if an unfavorable answer is not received he will draw for that a- mount. When a gentleman not knewn as an active politian is called upon for $1,000, some idea may be gained of the enormous size of the bocdle fund that is to be raised. The Government, ac- cording to the letter, has been warned of what is being done. This revelation accords very well with all that is known of the plans of the Tory party, and adds still further evidence to prove that Sir John Macdonald and his henchmen in- tend making one last superhuman effort to buy out the Mowat Government.” the lakes, and navigation is therefore unlocked and ajar, if not actually wide open, the proprietors of the various steamers Ste. that ply upon our local waters are busy preparing for the sea- son’s work. Messrs. Crandcll A: Ellis have nearly finished overhauling and fitting up their boats and barges at Lindsay, and were the first to leave port this spring, the Dominion making a trip‘down the river on Monday last. They had the Eva put in dry dock last fall, and have completely built her up from the bottom with new plank, tho- will not permit. them to accept. Mr.‘ whom the Gazette would more gladly! not a resident of East Victoria, is well ticn of her machinery, which is in gt)on condition. Mr.Burgoyne’s little Nobby has not yet been taken from the boat- house in which she passed the winter ; but she will soon be taken out and Overhauled. Mr. Wm. McClennen‘s new steam yacht (as yet unnamed) will soon be ready to launch, and will take but a short time to make her ready for her trial trip. There never was a time at which it W Obituary. Mr. John Brandon, of Verulam, whose death was recorded in last week's Gazette, was the fourth to pass away of six natives of County Fermanagh, Ire- land, who were all born in the year 1805, and all came to this part of On. tario, though not at the same time. Mr. Lancelot Junkie, Mr. Matthew Ingram and Mr. Wm. Bell of Lindsay preceded him to the grave, but Mr. John Gallaugher and Mr. James Junkin are still alive. Mr. Brandon was born on the '213t of April, and if he had lived until Monday last would have completed his 85th year. He emigrated to Can- ada in 1850 with his sister Mrs. Thom- as Martin, two of his brothers having come out many years earlier, and a third, Andrew, following two or three years later. For a considerable time be (John) managed the Blythe farm in Fenelon for Mr. John Langtcn, afterwards Auditor General, and then rented it until it was sold to the late Robert Graham, when he purchased the farm opposite it in the township of Vcrulam, where he spent the remainder of his life, sharing his home with his sister Mrs. Martin and her husband, who had no family. Mr. Brandon was never married, but he was never so happy as when he had relatives or friends around him, and he kept his nephew John H. Brandon from the time he was little more than a baby until he was nearly 18 years old. He was of a kindly disposition and a geod neighbor, and for-thirty years was a trustee of Bethel Methodist Church, of which he was always a consistent member. All his four brothers are dead, but Mrs. Martin and a sister in Ireland survive him. The large attendance at his fu- neral on the 15th inst. was evidence of the respect and esteem in which he was held. “ A gentleman who has never taken W Navigation Notes. W The Ice Houses. As soon as the warm weather put a stop to the ice harvest, the work of ship- ping that stored in the houses was com. menccd, and a train load has since been forwarded every day. The Silver Lake Co. had six houses, some of which wcro~ filled by themselves and the others were bought of McDougall A: Brandon. One of these houses has already been emp- tied and another will be, and the con- tcnts of the other fourâ€"the walls of which are being“ groutcd ” with straw or'sawdustâ€"will be kept until summer, when ice will be worth a great deal more than it now is. The Grenadier Co. and Mr. John A. Ellis chipped reg- ularly throughout the season and also filled two houses, after which they bought the contents of the house filled by Messrs. Austin and Ellis, and they do not intend to ship any of their stock at present, but are shooting and filling the walls as rapidly us possible. The ice taken out of the Silver Lake Co’s. houses was found in excellent condition, thus verifying the prediction that it would freeze up solid instead of soften- ing after being stored. Although all our local men who went into the busi- ness have made more money than they expected. their satisfaction is somewhat damped by the knowledge that they would have made a good deal more if, instead of selling when they did, they had waited for a rise in price, for ice has been going upward by leaps and bounds, and there is no telling what figure it will ultimately reach. As the ice is nearly or quite out of roughly repaired her machinery, taken ofi‘hcr old cabin and built a new one, and painted her throughout, so that to- day the Eva is practically a new boat. The Dominion has also received her share of attention, as all repairing that was necessary has been done and she has been repainted ; indeed, no expense has been spared in putting the two steamers in first-class shape. The pal- ace excursion bargc Paragon is now undergoing a thorough examination in dry dock, and, as she will be carefully repaired and handsomely painted, she will be in better trim than ever by the time her first excursion takes placeâ€" which will be to. Fenelon Falls on the 24th of May. Messrs. Crandcll A: Ellis have a very large season's business ahead of them, and have put their boats- and barges in first-class condition for it. In a very short time from now they will be able to run their. steamers not only to the Falls but to Rosedale and Coboconk also, as a large sum of money was voted over a month ago for the im- provement of the Trent navigation, “ including a swing bridge at Feuclon Falls,” and we have it on gcod author ity that the work will be commenced almost immediately. We have not day on a business triptc Mont!“ al. learned any particulars not who has the Mr. Robert Marshall left the Falls on contract, but, as the bridge will be Monday for Michigan, and was joined brought here all rtady to put together, at Lindsay by Mr. Benjamin llcaslip, the work of erecting it will only take a who was waiting for him there. very few days.and probably the railway Mr. Rodgers, Government engineer, traffic. will not, be delayed for an hour, of l’utcrborough, was at the Falls from.
