Their exhibit at the World’s Fair has been the centre of attraction in the windmill division all summer, and energetic Mr. John M.Irwin, super- intendent of agencies, with able assis- tance, has had his hands full and his tongue more than ordinarily busy ex- plaining the merits of the Ideal Pump- ing Wind Mill and Ideal Junior Sec- tional Power Mill, and booking orders for them. Mr. Irwin reports business done- with numerous foreign countries, and within the last few weeks the company has arranged with a live Canadian firm, Messrs. Gould, Shapley &: Muir Co., (Ltd), of Brantford, Can- ada, to manufacturc‘nud sell the Ideal and Ideal Junior wind-mills, exclu- sively in. Canada. .Mr. E. L. Gould, president, and Mr. John Muir, vice- prcsidcnt, were in the city recently arranging the details, and they report the prospects for business in Canada as excellent. Mr. Muir, who, by the way, is a noted salesman, said some very complimentary things about the members of the Stover Manufacturing company, and their honorable way of doing business, also about the excel- lence of their goods, but we will not tell more for fear it might make the worthy members of that company blush. We can endorse all Mr. Muir said about their business enterprise and integrity." The Fenclon Falls Gazette. Friday. February 9th, .â€" ” Eminently Satisfactory.” Among the advocates of prohibition were many Conservatives, who were anxious to “kill two birds with one stone " by using the movouieut as a weapon against the Ontario Govern- ment, and all sorts o‘f accusations about ' the Premier and his. colleagues shirking responsibility, trifling with the wishes of the people,etc., were made; but after what took place at Toronto last Tuesday afternoon not so much as an insinuation ot‘insincerity or incertitude ou the part 'of the Provincial Government ought ever again to be heard. On the day mentioned a temperance convention at which about 1,500 prohibitionists were present was held in the Pavilion, and, :in accordance with the third clause of the report of the Union Committee, a deputation of 89 men and women waited upon the Ontario Government in the Parliament buildings to “respectfully request them to declare in favor of total prohibition of the traffic in intoxicating ;liquor to the full extent of the power vested in the Legislature." , The mem- bers of the Cabinet entered the recep- tion room headed by Sir Oliver Mcwat, who was heartily applauded when he rose to speak, and his address lelt no doubt as to the determination of the I Gox'ernment to do all in their power in favor of prohibition at the earliest pos- sible moment. The question as to the powers or the Legislature is to be argued in the Supreme Court this month, after which it will go to the Privy Council, and the Premier, at the conclusion of his address, read the fol- lowing type-written statement of the Government’s position :â€" “ If the decision of the Privy Council should be that the Province has the. jurisdiction to. pass a prohibitory liquor law as to sale, I will introduce such a bill in the following session, if I am then at the head of the ‘Government, If the decision of the Privy Council is that the Province has power to pass only a partial prohibitory liquor law, I will introduce such a prohibitory bill as the decision will warrant, unless the partial prohibitory power is so limited” as to be ineilcctive from a temperance stand~ oint.” When he finished reading there was enthusiastic cheering, in which Conserv- atives joined as heartin as Reformers, ,and during the evening session Rev. 'Wm. Kettlewcll, who has hitherto held that“ prohibition could only be reached over Sir Oliver Méowat’s political grave,” said that the Premier’s position was em- inently satisl'actory and everything that could be desired.
