Tho l’liboral-Conscrvativo convention, held on Wednesday afternoon of this week in Dickson's hall, was, in point of numbers and enthusiasm, ono of the most successful held in this riding for years. The purpose of the convention was the nomination of a candidate for the local Legislature. Largo delega- tions were present from l-Ialiburton, Kinmount, M inden, Burnt River, Bobcay- gcon and all the rural districts, and by 1.30 p. m. the hall was packed to the doors with enthusiastic delbgates. A- mong those from a distance were, Mr. Ferguson, member for Cardwell, Mr. Weldon, Mr. George Jordan, Rev. Mr. li‘airburn, Mr. H. J. Lytle, Mr. A. E. Bot- tuzn, Mr. Fox, member for West Victoria, Mr. Hopkins, of Kinmount, and others. The convention opened prmnptly at 1 o'clock, with Mr. J. H. Delamore, of Min- den, in the chair. The following officers were elected for the Association : Presi- dent, Mr. J. Mortimer; 1st Viceâ€"Presiâ€" - dent, Mr. Thomas Austin ; 2nd Vice-Pres- ident, Mr. T. J. Lowry ; Sec.-Treas., Dr. Mason. It was moved and seconded, and unan- imously carried, that Mr. J. H. Carnegie, M. P. 1)., be again the standard-bearer in East Victoria. No other name was brought before the convention. M r. Carnegie thanked the convention for the honor done him in making him the unanimous choice. He stated that at one time he had decided to retire from public life, but at the request of several supporters he had decided to contest the riding again. In reviewing the work of the Whitney government during the past sessions, he pointed out that, during the four sessions just passed, East Victoria had been granted $58,000 for the main- tenance of bridges and roads. He also pointed out the dealings of the Whitney government with the rural schools, the grants having been great] y increased. In 1904: the grants to rural schools in this riding were $3,141 ; in 1007 the grants were $7,915. He pointed out clearly the prompt measures which the government takes in enforcing the law, taking as an illustration the pool-room case at'Toronto Junction. Crown lands and timber are to-day sold by tender. The timber is estimated by government experts, and today timber limits will realize $00,000 per square mile which a few years ago, under the old methods, sold for only $33,000 per square mile. Agricultural schOols are being opened in several towns throughout the province, and thus the farmers are given an oppor- tunity to come in close contact with seed judging, etc. Mr. Carnegie spoke of the legislation inn/regard to prison reform, and concluded his remarks by asking all present to work hard in the interests of the'Whitncy government. Mr. Ferguson, of Cardwell, was the next speaker. He spoke in glowing terms of the work done by Mr. Carnegie during the past session of the House, and regretted the fact that more farmers did not find a seat in our parliaments. Mr. Ferguson is a farmer himself, and, al- though ho is a new member in the House, still he has a most accurate knowledge of the way a government should be car- ried on. He went briefly into the gov- ernment’s dealings in New Ontario, point- ing out how certain land along the Tom- iscaming and Canadian Northern Railâ€" way which was found to be rich in min- erals, was appropriated largely by pri- vate individuals under the Liberal gov- ernment. Under the present govern- ment certain parts of those lands which had not been disposed of were put up for/tender and large sums were realized by this province. He touched briefi y on the pulpwood concessions, and text books, showing that under the present government, in spite of the fact that labour and material have increased in cost, yet the price of school books is little over one-third of what it was under the Ross Government. Mr. Ferguson touched on theGovernment policy with regardto the three-fifths vote on local option, and while the present govern- ment has not passed legislation chang- ingthisclause, yet, as time passes and I thoGovernment observes how the pre- sent system works out, it will make such legislation as will best meet the needs of the people. Mr. Fox, member for West Victoria, spoke along the same lines as the prev- ious speaker. His connections with Mr. Carnegie had been of a most pleasing nature, and he did not think for a mo- .mcnt that the Liberals would place a man in the field to oppose Mr. Carnegie. A resolution, pledging support to Mr. , Carnegie, and confidence in the Whitney Government, was moved by M r. Geo. Jordan, seconded by Mr. H. J. Lytle. and was met by hearty cheers from all pre- sent. lion. Mr. Hanna and Col. Sam Hughes, ' who were expected to attend, were un- avoidably absent. The Steamboat Situation. From present appearances, this. sec- i tion of the Kawartha Lakes will be worse off than ever, if possible, in re‘grrd to ] steamer service nextsummcr. The “Manâ€" ita ” hasbecn sold to run between Peterâ€" 'boro and Stony Lake, and consequently will be seen no more on the Coboconk route. The Trent Valley Navigation Co. state that they have been playing a losing game ever since they went into the busi- ness on these waters, and probably they have. Anyone else who tried running boa-ts as they have run them. through here would likely have the same story to tell, cheaply on the railway as they can, 011,3; boat they will travel by rail every time, unless they. are out on a holiday. Espec- ially will they do so when the boat runs without regard to train connections and When people can travel just_ as, l “erm‘eumuaw-A. :‘DWFLVl'f‘Ahm ‘ 'iw "==- ‘ » ' “ ' - ._,=»â€" ~â€".__;. .‘ a sion. To say that there is no money to be made under any circumstances on the- Coboconk route is, we think, too broad a statement, for there are steamboat men in the county, and right here at the Falls, who have done the trick and could do it again. The “ Manita ” was said to be too large a boat to run profitably on. the route. Perhaps she was, but “ that is another story.” It is too bad if Fenelon Falls, just as she has secured a first class summer hotel and is getting her name up as one of the prettiest summer resorts and best fishing spots on the lakes, is to be cut off completely from connection with the lower waters, and an effort should be made by the Board of Trade and the council to arrange for some kind of a service between the Falls and Sturgeon l’oint or Lindsay. Captain Burgoyne, with the “ Kawartha,” generally looks after the local trade between here and Coboconk, and, running his boat on a time table to suit the people and the train connections, has seldom been lacking in cargo. For two or three years before the big Bobeaygcon firm buttcd in, a' boat ran double trips every day between the Falls and Lindsay without ' sending its owners to the bankruptcy courts, and that was before there i 'as one tourist on the lakes where there are now fifty. Why can it not be done gigain ? Field Crop Competition in Agricultural Societies. never the same on two days in succes- In 1907 the Honorable Nelson Mon- teith, Minister of Agriculture, by a spe- cial appropriation, made provision for the carrying on of a Competion in stand- ing field crops, for ten societies. These competitions were so successful that an increased appropriation for this year has been provided for a similar purpose. The prize winners in last year’s compe- tition received an advance of from 25% to 50% over market price for their seed grain. When the fact is considered that the annual value of the field crops in 4 Ontario is one hundred and forty milâ€" lions of dollars, one begins to realize the value of this new departure. The competitions will be limited to one hun- dred societies, and, should more than this number apply for the grant, the two societies first applying in any county will be selected. ' Having in view the excellent re- sults obtained last year in stimulating a greater interest in the production of bet- ter seed grain, Agricultural Societies will again be assisted in holding compe- titions in standing field crops during 1908, under the following regulations : 1. Competitions shall be limited to one crop, to be selected by the society, which should be one of the most import.- ant to the farmers of the district. ' En- tries for'competition must consist of a field of not less than five acres; and,’ where beans and potatoes are entered, the minimum plot not less than an' acre. Selection must be made from the fol- lowing crops, viz : Spring, Fall or Goose wheat, oats, barley, corn, pease, alsiko clovor,--red clover, potatoes, beans, or any other staple crop produced for seed in Ontario. 2. Competition shall be limited to members of Agricultural Societies, and the fields entered must not be more than fifteen miles miles from its headquart- ers. Competitors shall be allowed to make entry in only one society, and but, ' one entry can be made by each' com- petitor. . Societies desiring to enter this comâ€" petition must notify the Superintendent not later than the first day of May, and must make not less than ten entries nor more than twenty-five. 4. All individual entries must be for- warded by the secretaries of societies to J. Lockie Wilson, Superintendent of Ag- ricultural Societies, Parliament Build- ings, Toronto, before the first day of J une, 1908. . 5. Societies may, if thought advisable, charge competitors an entry fee of not more than one dollar. Punksâ€"The Ontario Depart-ment of Agriculture will contribute $300 to each society, on condition that prizes to the amount of $50 be offered; these prizes to be not less than $15, $12, $10, $8, and $5. ' _ ‘ The. Seed Branch of the Dominion De- partment Of Agriculture will provide ex- pert judges for these competitions free of cost to the societies. - - - amincr; will interest man y of our readers. “ In the death of Mr. Jas. London, 173 Park street, which took place on March 3lst, the city loses one of its most re- spected citizens, who has lived in Peter- boro since early boyhood.

Fmonus A)!PUTATED.-â€"On Friday last Michael Maguirc, the seven year old son of Mr. James Maguire,;of Galway town- ship, got the first, second and third fin- -- ‘ of the right hand caught between the chain and sprocket wheel of a bi~_ cycle. All three of the lingers were so badly broken and mangled that Dr. Gra-_ ham, of Fenclon Falls, to whom the little fellow was brought by his parents on Sunday, found it necessary to amputatc them near the hand. ~ Baxv.\a_n.~-A small boy had three fin-. gcrs of his right hand chewed off by a bicycle chain one day last week.
