Dairying is Prosperous. The great progress that. has been made in developing the dairy interests of Canada has been more than once re- ferred to in these columns. and the an- nual address of the President of the Eastern Ontario Butter and Cheese Association, now in session in Kingston, substantiates the encouraging report in every particular. Having recognized the splendid assistance and encourage ment given to the business by the intel- ligent and progressive policy of the Federal Government, and also by the Provincial authorities, President Derby- shirc urged upon his hearers the neces- sity ofthe closest attention to the de- tails of management and manufacture, in the imprOving of the factories and curing rooms, the better care of stock, the securing of the best facilities for ob- taining a plentiful supply of good, cheap food, etc., declaring that, with the Gov- ernmcnt aid now available, the possibil- ities of the trade are practically unlim- ited. No department of the adminis- tration deserves more at the hands of the farmers than docs that under the management of Hon. Sidney Fisher, and this fact is evidently recognized by the very men in whose interests that de- partment is being conducted. Startling Stories tonne Frozen North.~ Startling stories are again to hand of alleged destitution and disease in the Klondike. A recent arrival in Van- couver. a Mr. Mahoney of Buckingham, Que, is reported as stating that there are 3,000 tenderfeet in the most abject distress in the outskirts of Dawson City. The great majority of them are Ameri‘ cans, and it is declared that unless immediate help be sent from Washing- ton or elsewhere they will die in hun- dreds like dogs. The story. however, appears to be genera‘ly discredited. _At a' meeting at Seattle of a number of Klondikers well posted on the condi- tions, Mr. Barrett, :1 Canadian whose knowledge of the situation and good judgment are highly thought of here, is reported to have declared : “ I cannot understand how such a story should gain currency, save through a desire of the Dawson press to heighten the feel- ings against representatives of the Can- adian Government now in Dawson. There is positively on need for alarm as to the supply of food at the mines. No starvation is there, Dawson people stand together as one, and none need go hun- gry if they will make their wants known." The latest advices receiVed here from Administrator Ogilvie cor- roborate this view of the situation. Trade With Great Britain.

The Fonclou Falls junior hockev team travelled to Bobcayeeou nu lfzidal' ‘ evening last to play a friei d y match with the local seven, and. alter a gem} came. defeated them by tl.ir.toi eortl< to One. The score scarcely gives a fair idea oftbe play, as it was at all [lines exciting. the Bobcaygeon forwardsseem- ing unable to score, although the puck was often in the vicinity of the Funelon goal. Mr. H. Ackcrt filled the position of Referee to the satisfaction of every one. The teams were as follows : Bobcaygcou.-â€"Goal, L Davey; piint, G. Hunter; cover point. '1‘.

A number of supporters accompauicl the team. for which the boys \vis'i to express their thanks. The first match of the season at the Falls Was played at the rink on Tues- day evening between “ Our Boys ” and ajunior team from Cannington, which resulted in a victory for the home team by thirteen goals to none. Although the score was so one-sided. the game from a spectator’s standpoint. was very exciting, the puck travelling from one. end of the rink to the other with great rapidity. The score. at half titnc was 8 to 0 in favor of Feuelin Falls, and after the change of ends the visitors did better, although they were unable to score. The lame numb’cr of spectator. seemed to enjoy the. match thorou-zhlv. and many took advantage of the Oppor- tunity to skate after the match The Canningtou boys are a nice lot ofymtng fellows. and put up a good, clean. gen- tlemanly game, while their referee.
