The Cobalt Citizen says : “Were the Mackenzie and _ Mann syndicate to sell out the Provincial gift on the day the first train travels from end to end 0t‘ the now projected line, it seems more than probable that it could‘ clear sufficient to cover the whole cost of the railroad and leave from ten to twenty thousand dollars per mile to the good, with the road thrown in. ' _ Yes, Old Ontario is paying the price with a generosity that is not usual_to that business community-a generosity which can be understood ‘only when it is appreciated that New Ontario is footing the bill. Old Ontario has a broad con- ception ~a larger Canada for which it is prepared to suffer with the heroic spirit of the patroit who was ready to sacrifice his wife's relations on the altar of his devotion. Of all the schemes yet diviscd for turning New Ontario inside out into the lap of the south, the passing of two million acres of our own Clay Belt land in claws of these notorious election financiers is the nost outrageous and the worst." __â€"â€"_-â€"â€"-1F To Break the Patten Corner. .___- Representative Scott of Kansas will submit to the House Ways and Means Committee a plan to break the Patten wheat corner by admitting Canadian ‘wheat free of duty. The present duty is thirty cents per bushel. Representa- tive Scott says in part : .' .'. . ‘»‘ The most effective way td put Pat;- ten and his crowd out of business would be to throw open our markets to Cana- dian wheat until the middle of July. With the tariff removed, Canadian wheat would come into this country in such volume that within twenty-four hours Patten would throw 11p his hands. The; removal of the duty for a few weeks would not injure our farmers in any way. I. have heard from Kansu that less than one and seven-tenths per cent. of last year-‘s crop in that State is held by the farmers and country elevat- ors there. The situation in the other wheat States is similar to that in Kans- as. All that Congress has to do is to pass a bill removing the duty temporari- ly. The Canadian grain dealers will do the rest. I am convinced that if Con- gress fails to enact remedical legis- lation it will hear from the country. Within the past forty-eight hours I have received a bushel of letters and telegrams regarding the manipulation of the wheat market by gamblers in Chicago. I shall take up ‘the matter wit-h the Ways and ‘Means Committee, also with the Presidents.” \ M ‘An Old. Resident Remembered. On Monday evening last a number of the members of the congregation of St‘. Andrews Church called at- the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Findlay McDougall, who ' are about to leave Fenclon Falls to take up their residence at Ingersoll, and pre- sented them with a very handsome mahogany music cabinet and the follow- ing address, which was read by Mrs. H. A. Mclutosh : Dear Mr. M aci)ougall,â€" We your friends and co-workers in church and community have met here this evening to assure you of our deep regret at the decision you have reached to leave our town and congregation. That we have greatly ‘appreciated your many and confirmed efforts on be- half of St. Andrews 'church it is needless for us to state, and those who have. known you longest and enjoyed oust in- timately your personal friendship are those who feel most keenly the parting and are loudest in their expression of regret at the thought of losing your valued influence and co-opcration in all good works. That you leave the church in a flour- ishing financial, and, we trust, spiritual condition, must- be to you a mattter of profound tluiukfulness, inasmuch as you have yourself contributed so much to this end. And now that you are about to leave -â€"to yourself, to Mrs. MacDougall and your family we- extend cordial thanks for your sympathy and helpfulness in the past, and we pray that God's richest- blossing may rest upon you in all your days to come. May He grant you ever increasing peace, prosperity and happi- | ness and in the end everlasting life, Will you and Mrs. MacDougall be. so good as to accept from your many friends here this remembrance of “ Auld Lang Sync."
