The pickets are painted with a weather- proof paint, which fully protects them from rust. Made of No. 9 Galvanized Steel Wire â€"which has neither been partially broken, nor had the galvanized coating destroyed, by crimping or twisting (so that it will break easily and commence to rust almost as soon as it is built); but, on the contrary, it retains its full tensile‘strcugth, and the coating is unharmed. The construction of my picket prevents its being moved up or down, so that an animal, by shoving its head between the wires, cannot make a hole large enough to admit its body. The breadth of the picket makes it visible to all animals, and they do not have to run into it to find out that there is a fence thereâ€"as is the case with most fences. It is so arranged that the action of heat and cold, in expanding and contracting the wires, is thoroughly con~ trolled, and the fence can be kept taut at all seasons of the year, and every year. All I ask is an examination ofits merits, and I am satisfied you will decide: that it has no equal. M. T. BUCHANAN, Manufacturer, Ixcsnsonn, Our. FOR SALE BY THOS. ROBSON, FENELON FALLS. 'IheTenelon Friday. August 3rd, 1894. Another Pill to Swallow. Under the heading of “ A Specimen Waste," the Toronto News (Conserva- tive) says :â€" “ Public attention was so completely absorbed during the session by the Our- ran bridge scandal, which involved a loss of over $140,000 even according to the estimate of Hon. John Haggart, that another and even more. glaring robbery was overlooked. This latter occurred at Little Rapids, near Ottawa, and was in connection with the building of a lock and dam for the purpose of opening up certain phosphate beds. In this case the original estimate was only $44,000. but. $260,000 has actually been spent on the work. And so far only one vessel has used the lock and not: a pound of phosphate has been taken from the adjoining property l" The above is another bitter pill for the Conservatives to swallow ; but they will shut their eye and gulp it down and forget all about it when they go to the polls at the next Dominion election. Neither the devotion of parents to their children, of husbands and wives (how- ever happily mated) to each other, nor of a religious man to his theological belief, appears to exceed, even if it equal, the devotion of a good old-fash- ioned dyed-inthe-wool Tory to his party, though why it is so is one of the many mysteries which nobody can solve. Of- fering the “ specimen waste " to the consideration of a. Conservative the other day. but without mentioning names or localities, he wouldn't give an opinion until he knew under which Government it occurred. and, when we told him, he said he didn’t deny that both Governments were equally bad and deserved .to be turned out. That he voted to turn out the Ontario Govern- mcnt there isn’t the shadow of a doubt; but we have no more hope that he will vote anainst the Dominion Government. than we have. that all our delinquent subscribers will pay up before the first of September. And yet thatsamc Con- servative, if on a jury before whom a private individual was tried for dishon- esty. would vote for a verdict of “guilty " on evidence for less strong than the evidence against the perpetrators of the “glaring robbery " at Ottawa. Gan Nothing Be Done? On Friday of last week the steamer l.'rrlitdzlllt passed through the Fenelon Falls locks with an excursion party from Lindsay to Roscdrtle. but when she crossed Cameron lake had to come back because Gull river was full of Gil- Went to Bobcaygeon instead of Rosedule with several hundred Salvationists, be- cause the samo drive of logs had by that. time got below the falls and had possession of Fenelon river. Some of the men in charge of the logs said that there was no jam and that- they would have made a passage for the Grundellu it‘ahe had tried to come up instead of retreating at the night of the logs ; while others declare that she could not pomibly have got up without great loss of time and risk of injury. Which of these statements is correct matters but very little, as a lumberman has no more‘ right to block up the river with a drivo of logs than a cattle buyer has to block up a road with a drove of oxen, as has been demonstrated time and again. Every year it has been the same old story, but. now that the channel above the falls has been deepened and the G. T. R. has built a swing bridge, it is more necessary than ever that. the right of the public to pass up and down our navigable waters at all times without hindrance should he insisted upon. In a batch of supplementary estimates brought down not. long ago there was the sum of $130,000 for the continu- ance of the Trent Valley canal, but there is nota dollar of it to be expended on that part of the canal lying between the Fenelon Falls locks and Sturgeon lake, although the necessity of dividing the river in such a manner that naviga- tion shall not be stopped by saw-logs has been urged for years. No one blames the lumbermen for hustling their . logs towards their destination with all possible dispatch; but one of two things must be doneâ€"either the river must be , divided into two separate and distinct channels or the lumbermcn must be compelled to let their logs over the slide. a few at a time instead of jamming the river full of them from bank to bank. Every little while there is talk of trying to make our pretty and picturesque vil- lage a summer resort, as many places with far fewer natural advantages are ; but what likelihood is there of people coming here to spend their holidays if they learn that they may at any time be debarredâ€"for two or three days or even nearly a week at a stretchâ€"of the pleasures of boating and fishing ? Drowning Accident. Mr. and Mrs. James Carling of To- ronto were drowned on Tuesday evening' at Sturgeon Point in consequence of the upsetting of a canoe in which they had gone fishing. When found Mr. Carling had his coat partly off and a trolling line was wound around his legs. The usual means of resuscitation were tried, but without avail, as the bodies had been in the water more than two hours when found. Mr. Carling was in the employ of the Steele Bros. Co. as sales- man and his wife was a Miss Tyrrcll of the. Quaker settlement in Mariposa. They were married something over a year ago, but had no family, and were at the Point in the hope of benefiting Mrs. Carliug’s health, which Was not good. The drowniugs this summer haVc been so numerous as to attract general attention, as scarcely a day passes with- out. two or three, and sometimes half a dozen, accounts of similar fatalities being telegraphed to the daily papers. In the Toronto waters alone there have been no fewer than fourteen drownings in eight weeks, and the total loss of life from that. cause is so alarming that reg- ulations and restrictions as to the use of boats and canoes kept for hire are beginning to be talked about. A few of the acoidcnts arise from unforeseen and uncontrollable causes, and ' others from culpable carelessness that ought to be punishable by law, but the vast majority result from the ignorance and incapacity of persons who are so seldom on the water that they ought not to he allowed in anything,r more “ totterish " than a big punt without somebody to take care of them. A few days ago Mr. Edwards of l’cterborough wrote to the papers advising that tin watertight boxes be fitted in the bows and stems of canoes, thus making them capable, if upset. or even it filled with water, of sustaining two or three persons; and we learn that the simple and inexpen- sive device recommended by Mr. Ed- wards has long been in use in Lindsay, lwherc many of the canoes have thus ‘ been rendered practically uusinkable. A light skill or canoe is (where there is little or no wind) fairly safe in the hands of an experienced and competent person; but to trust one of them to a “ greenhorn ” is nearly as dangerous as it would be to allow a man with a cigar in his mouth to enter a powder mill, or to let a child drive a hard-mouthed horse that was always looking out for a chance to run away. Hymeneal. A very pretty little wedding tack place at Lakeview. the home of Mr. John A. Ellis, on Wednesday evening, ds, Clothing, Milline August lst. when his eldest dnuEn ,- Aanes, was united in marriage to Mr. Thomas Graham, merchant, of Fenelon Falls. The bride was beautifully attired in creme crcpon, and was accompanied by her sister, Annie, in creme, bearing a rich bouquet of white lilies. The maids of honor were Miss Emma Gra- ham, sister of the groom. and Miss Maud Ellis, sister of the bride. Tho groom was ably supported by his cousin, Win. Graham, brother of Dr. Graham. The Rev. G. W. McCall, B. A, B. D., ofiuiatcd. Shortly after the ceremony the guests sat down to a drjeunm' which would cover the home of Mr. Eilis with glory in the eyes of an opioureau. All the guests, though not of that peculiar school, did valiant service in this dc- partment. The presents were numerous and very costly, some having come. all the way from Winnipeg. The young couple, shortly after ten o’clock, left the guests to continue their social enjoy- mean and drove to their new home on North street. We wish them ali‘ joy and prosperity in life. ' Personals. Miss Anderson of Whitby is visiting Miss Sullivan at the Falls. Mr. Fred. Yellnnd and Mr. Albert Greene. of Pcterburough are visiting at Dr. Graham's. Mrs. W. L. Robson left on Wednes- day for u fortnight's visit to relatives in Toronto. Miss Ella Robson, daughter of Mr. W. M. Ribson of Lindsay, is visiting,r hcr numerous relatives at the Falls. Mr. John H. Geach of Lindsay was- on a visit to his relatives at the Falls- . from Saturday last until Wednesday. ~ Mrs. John A. Barron of Lindsay and her youngest two children were at Mr.- James Dickson’s from Saturday last until Monday. Mr". D‘. R. Weir. who has been teach- ing school at l’ctrolca, Ont., since he- left the Falls, has written requesting us to mail his copy of the Guzctzc‘ to Cleveâ€" land, Ohio, U. S. ' Mrs. Wm. Coffey of Brooklyn, New York, and her sister, Mrs. ll. Fowler of Lindsay, both formerly residents of Fenelon Falls, were amongst the excur- sionists who came here by the Cranrlcllir on Friday last. Rev. James Fraser, Pastor of the I Fenelon Falls Baptist church, left yess terday morning for Scotland. His leave of absence is for about two- months, but it is not yet known who will fill his pulpit while he is away. Mr. Robert. DeLury, who learnt the tailoring business at A. Clark & Son’s, left last Tuesday for Manilla where he will stay for a few‘ weeks, and then go to Toronto, but we have good grounds- for suspecting that he will visit the Falls upon every available occasion. Mr. J. H. Howry, the member of the firm of Howry &. Sons who is to reside at Fenelon Falls, brought his family here last Friday and took possession of Mrs. Joseph McArthur’s commodious brick house on Colbornc street, which he has rented furnished for a term of years. Prof. George A.. Powles, of Chicago,- Ill., son of Mr. Wm. I’owles o-l' Fenelon, is home on a visit and will remain until the end of next week, if no lonacr. Mr. Powles, who adopted school teaching as a profession, went to the States over thirteen years ago, and after living nearly nine years in Indiana, moved to Chicago, where he soon obtained a pos- ition as teacher of" mithematics in the West Division High School, one of the largest schools in the world, which pos- ition he still holds at a salary of $51,700. He was married and the eldest of" his» four children, a boy of 13. who is with him here. was born before he left Cau- nda. Havilnh Davis and Simon Cooper, both at one time residents of the Falls, are his neighbors in Chicago and are doing well. Mr. Davis, who lost his wife and eldest son, James, some years ago, has just. married again.
