Sordid wall Street. Toronto World. New York Stock Exchange movements for the last three weeks have indicated clearly that the financiers who control them have been utilizing Mr. Harri- man’s struggle with death for the pur- pose of manipulating the market from day to day. The gruesomeness of the situation, appalling to the ordinary in- dividual,is but a by-play to the million- aires of New York, who are capable of using anything that comes their way to gain a profit on their stock market op- erations. Nothing could have been more con- temptible than the withholding of the announcement of Mr. Harriman’s death until after the close of the exchange. The course of trading on Friday showed the extent to which this fact had been used to freeze out the public who have been playing New York market. Prices were demoralized during the greater part of Thursday, and holders of stocks were scared out on the breaks brought about by big manipulators. Nothing is too big or too small for the New York promoters to utilize, and the sooner the public recognizes the true state of affairs the sooner they will save much of the money which is now drib- bling into Wall street through losses on the New York market. -â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€""â€"__. .-,._-_, Drainage and Forestry.

These two subjects are being given a great deal of at- tention at the present time, but not any more than they deserve, and farmers and others who are in a position to do so cannot be to strongly urged to get all the information they can along these lines and act upon it. In explaining and justifying the work the college is doing Mr. Creehnan said: “We have Mr. W. H. Day, Lecturer in Physics. A farmer said to me the other day, ‘ Vhat do they do with Physics in Agriculture ?’ The department of physics is one of the most important we have here. A man said to me the other day, ‘ I live in Victoria County, and the water lay on ten acres of my land until June, and I could grow nothing on it but hay and oats.’ Be notified our Pro- ‘~‘~ JEN A: .3 Egg NNQQYAV AVE Hunting Outfits ' The kinds of work We like best is fitting people out for a good time in the woods, with the best guns and equipment that money can buy.

There are hundreds of thousands of acres of land in this Province of Ontario that need draining. The tile factories of this Province are now working overtime to get tile ready for the farmers who want to underdrain their land. Then we have Mr. E. J. Zavitz, Pro- fessor of Forestry. What do we care about Forestry? We are a forest country. But some men come along like Dr. Clarke or Dr. Pinchot of Washington, and they say ‘Stop!’ What is the mat- ter? ‘Why,’ they say, ‘ we have not got fifty years’ supply of timber in the world. Germany is now importing wood. There are only two countries in the world that have more wood than they can use and that is Canada and the Scandinavian Peninsula, Norway and Sweden, and they are giving out. I went down on the train this morn- all of it in Arkansas and Ohio. We can- not get it in Canada, our timber is a- bout exhausted.’ We are starting to grow here, little trees frmn seed. We have waste land all through this Pro- vince from which the timber should never have been cut, rocky places that are a disfigurement to the landscape.

Mr. Lamb's loss will be in the neighborhood of $1500, as there was only a small in- surance. The dwelling of Mr. John Lamb Sr. was also struck and quite bad- ly damaged, but it did not catch fire, and none of the people in the house were injured, although the lightning struck the floor within a few feet of them. The chimney was shattered, part of thereof torn open and plaster ripped off. The stove and stove pipes also suff- ered. One of the cellar steps was split in two. Mr. Lamb and his family are fortunate in escaping without injury, as the lightning was literally all around them. Mr. Wm. Gamble, near Burys Green, had a somewhat similar experi- ence, the house being struck, the lightn- ing striking the roof, passing through the building, and finally tearing out part of the stone foundation. About two miles from Glenarm on what is known as the Alex. Gilchrist farm, a barn was struck and burned. The contents, be-- longing to the tenant, Mr. Owens, who hadvjust thrashedpwere also destroyed. Mr. Geo. M oynes, of Fenelon, had a valu- able horse killed by the lightning, the animal being in the {field at the time. A cow belonging to Mr. Marshall Moynes and one of Mr. John Aldous's best grade Durhams were also killed. Reports from Lindsay show much dam- age to property in that district. ~â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"- mitted by council, which was passed: The clerk was instructed to t have? notices put up at the cedar bridge that it is unsafe.

THE FALL FAIR.»-The directors of the Fenclon Agricultural Society 'had a meeting at the .McArthur House on- Tuesday and revised the prize list, and made other arrangements in connection‘ with the fall fair to be held on Wednesa day and Thursday, Oct. 0th and 7th. Prospects seem good for a Very success- ful show this year. The lists will be ready for distribution in a few days. CEMENT CROSSING.â€"â€"A cement crossing has been laid across Celborne street at Bond street, in place'of the old onc,which had outlived its usefulness. The work was done by M r.John Jones, who started on Monday with live men and had the crossingâ€"which is (50 by 3 feet, and re- quired a lot of digging-â€"â€"practically completed the same night. The cost is $22. As there is much trailic at this point, especially'on Sundays, the new crossing will be appreciated. ST. Axnnnw's Cuuncn.«â€"Tlie board of managers, at a meeting on Monday evenâ€" ing, confirmed the dates, Oct. 24 and 25, as the oecasidn of the anniversary ser- vices and supper. Bills will be issued soon. . . .Mrs. Lord entertained the choir at the Manse on Friday evening, when a- most enjoyable time was spent by those- present. An interesting feature of the affair was the presentation by the choir of a valuable chair and piece of china to Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Cameron. Words of welcome and of sincere congratulation- accompanied the presentation. N0vnI.BRInGu.â€"1\Ir. W. Wilson, who lives about six miles up Burnt River, has built a suspension bridge of fence wire across the river to shorten the distance which his children would otherwise have to travel to and from school. The wire is run over crossbar-s supported by posts at each side of the river, and the. ends anchored with stones. Boards are placed at intervals along the bridge to walk on, and wires are strung along- the side to prevent anyone falling off. Photographer Stanton has an excellent photo of the structure, with a number of 1 men standing on it, members of a party- who went up the river on Labor Day to. pick buttern-uts. ‘ METHODIST ANNIVERSARY.‘â€"Tlle anni~ versary services of the Methodist Church, Fenelon Falls, will be held on October 10 and 11. The Rev. John Garbutt will preach on Sunday and ice- ture on Monday evening. The public will appreciate the opportunity of hear- ing again this popular and able preachâ€"- er. Bills will be printed and fuller press notices given of this great annual gathering in the Methodist church. . . . October 17th and 18th will be observed as anniversary Sunday and Monday at "Victoria Church, Powles Corners. A Thank-offering will be taken on Sunday, and a. special entertainment given on Monday. The Rev. W. G. Clarke, B. A., of Port Hope, will be present on both Sunday and Monday to help make these services a distinguished success. More detailed notices will appear later in reference to these services. ' MAKE A GOOD JOB or I'mâ€"Mr. Roht. Jackett is busy and is making good pron gress taking up the old wooden pines and laying iron piping, mostly five inch, in its place. While these alterations are being made, the public drinking tap and the watering trough at the foot of Colborne street should be separated and placed some distance apart. If the drinking: tap be moved it should if possible be put where it can stay per- manently, and be placed in some kind of a substantial and ornamental.structure. The cost would be trifling compared with the benefits. Mr. Atclleson's lot, in front of which the tap now stands, has been mentioned as a suitable location. The only objection to it is that another move might have to be made in a short time, otherwise it would be very convenient. We understand the council has the matter under con- sideration, and it is hoped will see fit to take action, and‘make a geod job of it. Personals. Miss Burnside, of Markdale, has taken charge of Mr. Wm. Campbell‘s millincry department. Mr. Grattan Graham went to Toronto on Monday.

Burnt River, Sept. 4, 1909 Council met pursuant to a call of the Reeve. The members all present, the Reeve in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed.

The collector for Tile Norwood Register says : On Thurs-- ay Mr. Sol. Clark, of Dummer, found‘ what appears to be a very rare pro-- duction in the vegetable line, in tho shape- of a cluster of pot-ate vines with several well-developed tubers growing- ahout midway up the stalks. Mr. Clark afterwards handed over the tubers to. Mr. H. C. Dnfi, the local representative- of‘ the Department of Agriculture, who said that he had never seen anything like it anywhere. Some wag suggested that the scarcity of soil in that part of‘ Dummer might be the cause of the tubers going up the stalks. Be this as. it may, it appears at least to he a rather curious freak.
