The following from the Montreal Wit- ness gives hope that the present high prices of fuel may at no distant date be lowered by . the introduction of peat. With peat obtainable as close as Beaver- ton the prices in this district should be as low as an ywhere. .Thc_Witness says : At last there seems to be something more than a chance for the successful use of peat as a substitute for coal in our stoves and furnaces. For the last twenty or thirty years there has been more or less talk onrthis subject, and some very promising experiments have been madeâ€"notably at Welland and at Beavertcn. But always the promoters failed to place their product on the market on anything like a commercial scale. Small pieces in the form of sec- tions of a cylinder were displayed at the Toronto exhibition, and handed round to interested euquirers ; but nobody ap- peared ready to take orders for the delivery of the fuel by the ton. The great practical difficulty has always: seemed to lie in the economical elimina- ticn of the water contained in the orig- inal turf. Sometimes the turf has been spread out over a field to be sun dried. Sometimes it has had the water forced out of it by mechanical pressure. Both of these methodsnverc expensive. And it so came to pass that the compressed peat could not be produced and shipped to any distance at prices to compete with the imported anthracite coal. Event- ually, however, it came to be known at Ottawa that methods were in use in Sweden in advance of any yet devised in Canada, and likely to render the pro- duction of the finished article not only scientifically but commercially. practâ€" icable. The Dominion Government sent to Sweden for the machinery, and began a series of experiments at Alfred, near Ottawa, which have been so far success- ful that it is understood the Canadian Pacific Railway is now contemplating taking over the plant and selling the peat all through the Ottawa valley and at Montreal. Peat will find acceptance in competition with anthracite coal even at the same price in relation to heat value, because it is as clean as compressed paper in the handling, and because it leaves little or no ash. Eastern Ontario offers an especially favourable field for its introduction, as the price of coal is higher than here. Sooner or later it will be produced on an extensive scale in central and western Ontario and, unless we are greatly mistaken, it will beahle to compete with Pennsylvania ary line at Niagara. Fenelon Fall Fair Will Be Earlier. An enthusiastic and well attended meeting of. members of the Fenelon Agricultural Society was held at the M cArthur House on, Saturday afternomn ,The three most important items in the ibusiness transacted were the decision to enter the fieldcrop competition this year, the changing of the fair dates to Sept. 10th and 11th, and the negotiations to be entered into regarding the pur- chase or lease of the-park grounds. An- other matter of interest at the- meeting Was the retirement of Mr. John Aldous from the Presidency of the Society. Mr. Aldous has been President several years, and has filled the position very capably acceptably, and:the-Socicty has prosper- ed during- his term. of office. tendered a hearty votcof thanks by the meeting and receivedimany well deser- ved compliments. The new president is Mr. Johan‘nox, who will without doubt prove a satisfactory officer. Other nom- inations for. the positionnvcre Mr. Wm. Hctherington. and Mr. J; H; Brandon, last years vice-president, both of whom, however, declined the honor. Mr. Wm.

Smith, Wm. Golden, Jas. Lamb, Geo. Goodhand, and T.‘ Austin. . It was decided to hold a. concert on fair night. under the auspicesof“ the Society, and a committee was appointed to make arrangements. The conditionsof the field crop com- petition specify that each competitor can makeonly one entry,and.the Society decides what crop.of',r,nrain.or-roots is to be grown. The Fenelon Society-at. the meeting decided to make oats the crop to be grown here. as being the most suitable. Fields are to be not less than five nor more than twenty acres. An competitors. There are seven prizes, the lowest of-which is $4. .

Women's Institute. _â€" The regular meeting of the Fcnclon Falls branch of the Women's institute ' was held on Friday afternoon, Jan. 19th, at the home of Mrs. W. H. W'elch, Col- borne Street. The meeting was opened in the usual manner, Mrs. Dr. Gould presiding. The minutes of last meeting were read and adopted and other busi- ness attended to. Mrs. D.Jewell, secre- tary, having handed in her resignation, MrsM. E. Calder was elected to the vacant olllce, having consented to act as secretary during the remainder of the Institute year. A resolution was adopted to the cflfect thata letter conveying the thanks of the members of the branch be sent to Mrs. Jewell as a slight token of appre- ciation of her long term in ollice. The visiting committee was rc-nppointed. Tile District Secretary's report of the W. I. Convention at Toronto, which was sent by Mrs. Cluxton of' Bobcaygeon, was read by Miss Sabina Martin and much appreciated. An- excellent paper was then read by Mrs. Dr. Gould, entit- on the formation of character. led “Character," written by Dr. Boyd of Bobcaygeou for that branch of the Instit- ute. This paper showed the influence of heredity, environment and education coal right up to the international bound- ‘ He was- entrance fee of fifty cents will be charged . A discussion then followed on the subject “How we are benefited by meet- ing together”. Several of the members thought that the social side of the meetings was one of the greatest bene- fits. Two or three favored the roll call as bringing out the more timid members, besides furnishing many new ideas. An- other" member found most benefit from County thoexcellent papers read at the meet- ings, while still another thought the broadening effect of the influence of the Institute on the life of women was a great benefit. In short, each member expressed herself decidedly in favor of the Institute meetings as beneficial in many respects. Music was given by Mrs. Dr. Gould and Miss Martin and was much appre- ciated. ‘ The meeting closed by the singing of the national anthem. Curling. The first fourgames for the Bobcay- gconâ€"â€"-Stanton cup were played on Tues- day, two at the Falls and two at Bobcay- geon. At Bobca ygcon. BOBCAYGEON. FENELON FALLS. H. Reid F. Lodge A.
