The'Lililc Bob Bridge Trouble. Post:â€"-'l‘he committee on Roads and Bridges, .\lr. Gillan in authority, met at 2.30 yesterday to fully discuss and com- prehend as much as possible the existing conditions at the Little Bob bridge, which has been referred to in a previous issue. Last January it was decided that a new structure should be built, consisting of two sixty-foot spans ol‘steel and the rest concrete 'lills. cred that suliicicnt space was allowed to De rmit an uninterrupted flow to the dam and power houses some 3000 feet further .down. The old bridge had been of wood, supâ€" ported at intervals and high enough to let a Small steamer pass beneath. The deepest water is near the bank at both sides, while there is a shoal in the centre. Thus with the new construction the piers would come in the shallowest place and retard the siigh test amount of water. There would be 1-1 ft. width out 20 ft. at E the pier, to faciliate passing ot‘ teams. The County and Government engin- .eers disagreed as to the length of the steel spans, the latter upholding that two 80 foot, or preferably four 50-foot, would be necessary if no hindrance to the water were desired. While at that time there was only about a hundred horsepower being used and one sluice- way. yet when all three slides were opened to obtain the maximum, 600 horse power, it was averer a considerabe cur- rent and fall in headway would be caused A meeting was held in Bobca-ygeon a short time ago, and there the villagers demanded an 18-foot width bridge and 300-l‘oot length. This will mean a. con~ siderable increase for spans, the two 60- foot costing $2.630, including the railings and concrete floors and the 80â€"113. $4512, fourteen feet in width, which is the reg nlar size in use. Considerable stone has been already thrown in, and its withdrawal is deman- ded at once, so the work on the bridge ceased in view of settlement. The bridge will cost in the neighbor- hood of $0,000.00 ; $2500 of it being paid by the Government and one quar- ter of the remainder by the County of Ontario and three-quarters by Victoria. 0-.

Peterboro Examiner :â€"â€"Some steam boat men are complaining very bitterly over the alleged careless manner in which, the lmnbermen of Lindsay allow wire firom the cribs to fall to the bottom 01' the. river, or it is alleged deliberately throw this wire into the river. As is well known, the logs are brought up to the mills at Lindsay by being cribbed, and upon arriving at the mills the wire is cut and", as the steamboat men claim, dumped into the water, being an easy way to dispose of it. The steamers are finding this wire a great nuisance and a hindrance to navigation. It becomes en- tangled in the wheels of the boats and is very diliicult to get out of the wheels. 'l‘he.steamboat-men claim that the more tlie.C‘rove1'inncnt does to help navigation on the. Lindsay River, the less the people of- Lindsay try tohclp themselves.

Our industrial commissioner and those' citizens who a re interesting themselves in the promotion'of the best interests of the city associated with the complet- ion of the Trent Canal, are showing themselves in earnest. No one for a moment gainsays the immense advant- age its completion would be to Petcrboro and the others municipalities along the route of this waterway. But it must be remembered that the national aspect of , the work, function as a grain carryâ€"I ing and freight transportation route, is better methods of soil cultivation and chielly justified in taking cognizance of. The main object of the construction of the canal is to provide a. water highway for the national uses; it is this which justifies the expenditure of money upon its construction. The whole country contributes the means and the country as a whole is expected to reap the ad- vantage. What advantages may accurc to municipalities en route are chiefly incidental, but none the less important. Thcpresent government has practically appreciated the value and importance of the canal as a national waterway and has, since the responsibility of action V came to it, thirteen years ago, spent nearly live times as much upon construction work as previously spent upon the canal since Confederation. Of course munici- palities and citizens are within their rights in urging greater expenditure upon the government ; but itshouid be borne in mind that the government has done’ and is doing a great deal in this direction. It should also be remembered This year's estimates contain the Sum of and the estimates contain appropriations for expenditures under the Department of Railways and Canals of $32,605,442, and to be spent under the department of Public Works, appropriations for expen- diture total $13,627,126, a grand total under these two departments of $46,332- 566sâ€"forty per cent. 01' the annual rev- enue and nearly forty per cent. of the expenditure for 1910-11.

That old-lime institution, the annual plowing match, is renewing its youth in the Canadian West. It flourished in Out- ario years ago, but of late years eastern farmers have allowed the plowing match to go out of business, excepting in a few districts where this annual event is just as popular as it ever was. Our western friends are wise in their generation. They evidently know a good thing when they see it, and have adopted the plow- ing match as a means of encouraging preparations of the land for the seed. This the plowing match will assuredly. do. Good plowing is at the basis oigood soil cultivation, and any method that will bring about better cultivation of the soil. There is one great advantage. in the plowing 'match that many lose sight of. It furnishes a training for the young men that will be valuable to them in their future work on the farm. Teach a youth to plow well and he will take more in- terest in soil cultivations generally. 1n the West plowing matches are held in the summer or soon after the spring seed- ing is over. Many have already been held. -9 John Loucks of Ingoldsby was killed in a mine in the Cobalt district. The body was brought home and in- terred at lngoldsby. I A Haliburton man named Thos.

The new standard system of train rules ordered by the Railway Commis- sion went into effect on the Canadian Pacific system on June 1st. The new code is almost entirely the same as the standard train rules in the United States, and is mostly‘of a technical character, involving changes that will not be notic- ed by the public. One important rule in which the public is interested, hmvever,.is that relating to the flagging of trains. Tn future any person will be empowered to stop a train who becomes aware of the danger of an accident, and a coat or any object waved violently by a person standing on or near the track will make it obligatory , out‘he engineer to pull up the train. responsible to the publisher for payment. _ 2 If any person orders his paper discon- linued he must pay all nrrcarges, or the publisher may continue to send it until payment is mad and collrct the whole amount whether the paper is taken from the oflice or not. There can be no legal discontinuance until the payment is made. 3 Any person who takes a paper from the post office, whether directcdio his name or another, or whether he has sub- scribed or not, is r'spousible for the pay. 4. If a subscriber orders his paper to be stopped at neertnin time and the publisher coulluucs to send it, the subscriberis bound to pay for it ifhe takes it from the post- olfice This proceeds upon the giound that a man must pay forth he uses. 5 courts have decided that; refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the post-olfice, or removing and leaving; lhem uncalled for, is pri’nigjuoz'p qv‘idence of. intentionan fraud. encourage better plowing will eventually E Ibeg to announce to the people of Fenelou Falls and vicinity that l have rented the shop over Mr. Chas.
