Friday, July 22, 1910 The Railway Strike. The strike of conductors and train men of the G. T. 1%., which commenced last Monday evening, still continues, with no immediate prospect of settle- ment, as far as can be ascertained from the latest available information. Since Monday, one train a day has been arrivâ€" ing here and at points north, coming in the evening and going south next morn- ing, and carrying only passengers, mail and express. This is not as bad as it might be, but a continuance of the freight blockade would have serious results. The dispute between the com- pany audits employees is about the amount of pay the latter should receive. The men want more than President Hays is willing to give. Figures are publish- ed showing the" wages per month paid and offered to conductors and trainmen, but although the remuneration given é looks fair, no correct judgment can be WWWIW'mefiP‘W'W“ 'xurvaw'nmumsmwww formed without knowing the living ex- penses of the men and other details. It is to be noted that the profits made by the company are not published. The present strike, like all past strikes, forces again on public attention the fact that private individuals, form- ing only a comparatively small part of the population of the country, are at liberty to throw everything into confu- sion and occasion heavy loss to the rest of the people, and that the sufferers have absolutely no means of redress. Manifestly this state of affairs should not be allowed to continue, but it would seem that nothing has yet happened really serious enough to wake people up to an earnest consideration of ways and means to avoid further disturbances. l Tibébohgiaidiélh. In view of the general protest throughout the province against some of the papers in the recent entrance ex- aminations being unduly dilIicult, the Fenelon ‘Falls school board, the teaching staff especially, and the pupils who wrote, deserve to be congratulated public schools here. In most places the number 'who passed is unusually small. Toronto for example, passed 54 per cent-., Kingston 52, Stratford 25, Bob- caygeon none. Fenelon Falls passed 75 per cent, an extremely good showing under the circumstances. That a few exceptionally well equipped schools with much more than ordinarily capable pupils, have done so well, should not, however, be used as an argu- ment in favor of a continuance of the features complained of in the papers set for the examinations just closed. The generalresult has been unsatisfac- tory. and it is to be hoped that in future . the papers will be drawn up with more consideration than they were this year. a...

The next census of Canada will be taken under date of June lst. 1911,.and will embrace the subjects of population, mortality, agriculture, manufactures, minerals, fisheries and dairy products. Population will be recorded under the heads of residence and personal descrip‘ tion; citizenship, nationality and religion; professiou, occupation and trade or means of living; wage earnings and insurance; education and language spoken, and inlirmities. Every person living on. 1st June will be entered on the schedule of popula- tion by name, as member of a family, institution or household, together with place of habitation, sex, relationship to head of the family or household, and whether single, married, widowed, di- vorced or legally separated. The month of birth, year of birth and age at last birthday will also be recorded. _ Entries will be made for each person to show the country or place of birth, year of immigration to Canada it born elsewhere, year of neutralization if formerly an alien, and also racial or tribal origin, nationality and religion. Every person of alien birth who has become a naturalized citizen is a Canadian by nationality; and every British subject with residence-in Canada, as well as every native of Canada who has acquired citizenship by birth or naturalization, is also a Canadian: by nationality. But there is- no Canadian 'by racial or tribal origin, unless the Indians are so counted. Every person having an occupation or- trade will be entered for- it, but it cm:- ; ployed in the census year at some other occupation for part or whole time he , will be so recorded also. If the person: is working on own account, the entry will be so made. An entry is also reâ€" quired to be made showing where the: person is employed, as. on» farm, in wool- en mill, at foundry shop, in drug. store», etc. Wage earners are entered to show the number of weeks employed in 1010- at chief occupation or trade; at other than chief occupation if any; the hours of working time per week at chief occu- pation, or at other occupation if any ; the total earnings in 1910 at chief occupation; the total earnings at other than chin occupation ; and the rate per hour when employed by the hour. Entries are required to be made for each person showing the amount of in- suranco hold at date of the census upon life, as well as against accident or sick- _ncss, together with the cost of such ll)!- surance in the census year. Under the heading of education and language records will be taken for every person of five years of age and over showing the number of months at schoot in 1910, and if the person. can read and: write, and the language commonly spoken by each person. The cost of eduâ€" cation for persons over 16 years of age- at College, Convent or University is also called for. - The last question on the schedule of‘ population relates to infirmities. It calls for a record of each person having an infirmity. If, blind. deaf and dumb, crazy or lunatic, idiotic or silly, a re- cord'thereof will' be made in the proper column, and the age at which the inâ€" firmity appeared is required to- be: specified. a+o PROVINGES- ALL IN LINE. Every Province Will Exhlblt at the. 0. N. E. this year. Every province in the Dominion has. applied for space for a provincial exhibit at this year’s Canadian National Exhibi- tion. and the result cannot fail to be the- greatest display of the national resour-i cos of Canada ever placed on exhibition.. It will be a great chance for Canadians. as well as visitors from other countries- to see just what each corner of the great were stolen from the Hotel Kawartha I Dominion depends on for future grent‘ ice-house, where they had been placed 1 “955' for safe keeping. Dcpredations of this kind are happily almost unknown in the town. They are altogether inexcusable, And the net result cannot fail to«. be a pleasant surprise to Canadians. as. well as outsiders. o-¢â€".__â€"â€"__. and the culprit should be well punished - if found out.

On Friday evening last, 15th inst., a meeting was held in the Sunday School room of the Methodist Church to wel- comethe-newly appointed pastor, the Rev. John B'edford' and his family, who have spent the last four years on the Lakefleld circuit. There was a goodly number present from the Fenelon Falls. The Toronto Werld of Friday last says: “M r. O. Gibbons, a well-known and much- esteemed cattle dealer of Meaford, re- appeared at the Western Cattle Market this morning after an absence of three- months spent in the Canadian west._ Leaving his home in Mcaford, Mr. Gibâ€" bons went by way of Port Arthur and: Fort William to Winnipeg. Amongst the places visited were Brandon, Saskaâ€"- boon, Adanac in the Saskatchewan,, Battleford and Yonkers on the Grand. Trunk Pacific, from where he returned.- to his home at Meaford. Speaking of‘ the crop prospects in the west, Mr.. Gibbons said: In all cases crops are late. Northern Manitoba. is fairly good;. Southern Manitoba very poor; Sas- katchewan, fair in parts; Alberta almost a blank. As for pasture, where it is not burnt up it has dried up. This popular cattle dealer returned to his Mcaford! home a week ago, but this morning was the first visit to the cattle market for three months. His brother, Mr. D. Gibbons, has visited the cattle market once a week in his absence. Mr. Gib-A bons, although delighted with his trip- west, was glad to be amongst his old. friends once more.” Mr. Gibbons has. been visiting his daughter, Mrs. W. ‘33:.
