Toronto World. A rominent New Yorker is credited with saying that the late Mr. Harriman was the highest type of a railroad fin- ancier, and not only that, but the high- est type of a railroad organizer. In other words, he knew how to finance, and how to build, and run a road when built. Let us grant this. And yet the one thing that can be said of Mr. Harri- man is that he used these great gifts sole] and only for two purposes: First, for the floating out on the pub- lic of all the possible issues of secur- ities over the various railroad prepo- sitions he handled to his own personal advantage, and 'to the increase of his own personal fortune. Second, for taking the highest possi- ble tolls out of the public who used the roads so as to pay dividends on the tor- rents of watered stock that he'created. Never once did he think of giving the public high-class transportation at low rates, he lived for and died in the effort to take the greatest possible rates out of the public to the aggrandizement of himself, and perhaps for a time at least of those who bought the securities that he created. Harriman did not improve transpor- tation methods for the public, he mined them for Harriman. Harriman was the most pronounced instance of “predatory wealth ” dc- nounccd by Roosevelt, and Harriman probably hated Roosevelt for the state- ment, more than he did anyrother man. The American Republic, the home of democracy, has become the greatest breeding ground of the predatory rich in the world. The United States is not producing Lincolns these days. Careless Use of Firearms. Police Magistrate Moore, of Lindsay, has written to the Ops council request- ing them to take steps. to stop the in- discriminate use of firearms on the Scugog river. Mr. Moore refers part- icularly to rifles. He points out that there is no game -in,the neighborhood requiring a rifle toikill it, and that there is no telling where a bullet from a modern rifle may go, or who it may kill' before it stops. The Ops council, and in fact all councils,‘would do well to use the power given to them for the purpose of prohibiting the use of any firearms except shot guns, and at any season except the open season, as Mr. Moore suggests. Rifles are dangerous anywhere, but especially so on rivers or lakes or in cleared country where bullets can travel long distances without meeting some obstruction. Come to the Fair. Reports indicate that this season farm crops have been decidedly better than for someyears past, and that the general agricultural:..and commercial outlook is much improved compared with other recent years. One of the ways in which this better state of af- fairs should manifest itself is in an increase in the number and improveâ€" ment in the quality of the exhibits at the fall fairs, as well ’as in a larger attendance. The local fairs should be encouraged, for various reasons. It is hoped there will be a good turn-out at the Fenelon Agricultural Society's show on Wednesday and Thursday next, Oct. 6th and 7th. Increased patronage one year means an increase in prizes and attractions the next year. Let every-' body come to the fair,and encourage the directors to enlarge and improve in the future. - Fenelon Council. Council met at call of Reeve.

Hall, Glanford avenue, was the scene of a very pretty wedding when his only daughter, Miss Pearl ll, was united in marriage to Mr. Charles L. Corbett, of Aberdeen, Wash. At 1 o’clock the bride entered the room with her father, attended by her little cousin, Laurine Gibson. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. W. Leslie Clay, after which the wedding party,, consisting only of the relatives and im- mediate friends of the bride, sat down to a sumptuous repast. The bride wore a very pretty dress of white lace over silk, and carried a bou- quet of bride's roses and maiden hair fern. The little maid of honor was be- comineg attired in pink silk, and car- ried a basket of sweet peas. Mrs. Cor- bett’s travelling dress was dark blue serge with hat to match. M r. and Mrs. Corbett left on the Prin- cess Charlotte for Seattle, where they will spend a week before taking up houseâ€"keeping in Aberdeen. Mrs. Corbett’s former home and birth- place was Wolseley, Sask., where she liv- ed with her parents. who may justly be classed with the pioneers of that town. Her father, Robert E. Hall, is well and favorably known in that place, having acted in the capacity of councillor for years,and has large interests in Wolse- lcy yct. Although the bride has been here less than a year, she was a great favorite, liked by old and young. It is therefore with genuine regret her numerous friends see her depart, even amid best wishes. Her gifts were numerous and costly,testifying to the esteem in which she was hold both here and in Wolseley. Personals. Mr. and Mrs Kellogg, of New York, were visiting Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Camp- bell last week. Mrs. Kellogg is Mr. Campbell‘s neice. Mr. S. McKendry, of Saskatoon, is visiting at his home here. Mr. .D.

Flamâ€"0n Sunday morning about half past two o'clock fire destroyed a frame building on Bond street on the old foun- dry prcmises, owned by Mr. Thomas Robson. The building contained a num- ber of implements, besides patterns to the value of $1,000, which were also burned. There was an insurance of $100 on the building and $500 on the con- tents. Theorigin of the fire is unknown. The blaze was first noticed by Mr. Jas. l’eterkin, night watchman at the Chemi- cal Works, and a stream from the mill pump was turned on to the building, but the fire had gained so much headway that the efforts to extinguish it were unavailing. There were many valuable implements, and the engine formerly used to run the foundry, in the building, and the loss to Mr,,1tob,spn, will be quite heuv)‘ ' " VICTORIA Cnunon, POWLES’ Conscnsé Anniversary services will be held Oct. 17th and 18th.

Boyce, who is farming on the 11th concession of Smith township, about eleven miles from Pcterborough, has a thriving bed of gin- seng that he is growing as a commercial crop. Four years ago he started with 1,000 plants, and now has 4,000 plants and 14,000 seeds undergoing the first process towards producing plants. llis old plants have been growing for seven years and are now matured and ready to market, and Mr. Boyce is looking for a buyer. The price ranges from $4 to $10 per 1b., the exporter who has the most direct connection with the Chinese mar- ket, where it is all consumed, being able to pay the best price. The plant is grown under plant houses, and the cul- ture, though simple, is but little known. Shade is necessary, as the plant will not thrive where exposed to open sunlight. Mr. Boyce is not the only one engaged in the growing of the profitable plant in this part of the country, and all are mak- ing a success of the experiment. .0. FALL MILLINERY OPENING.
