JULY 17th, 1%. A few days afterwards it was learned that May had been working a leased farm near Ridgetown. and. concealed in a well there was found a large Quantity of clover seed. The farmers whose granarles had been robbed pumped out about thirty bushels of seed and took possession ,of it. They also seized the team of homes and wagon to partially re- coup themselves Recently Provincial Detective Mur» ray located the man Riley, who had changed his christian name to John in Indiana, together with his accom~ plice, .Wm. Acre. He secured the necessary authority, and proceeded to Fort Wayne to make the arrests. Up- v-v .-_._-v on arriving there he found Riley had moved into Ohio and followed him‘ there. Riley when arrested denied ever having been in Canada. and without protest allowed himself to be taken to Fort Wayne, where Acre was already under arrest. Both men are fighting extradition, but Riley has ‘l'he‘l'ounto Star says the Season Begins Too Early Toronto Star : There ought to be a. careful enquiry made by the. Pro- vindal authorities to see wheoher the present close season for black bass cannot be improved upon.

In the darkness he slipped around a corner and disappeared. The next day traces of clover seed were found in the abandoned waggon, and the horses were turned loose and followâ€" ed for forty miles to a. farm in Lamb- ton county, owned by a man named Lafleur, who pleaded guilty to steal- ing grain. and was sent down for one year. Thiliislédnbdflauwnhka fieiflluDiy no close otndiiday says ‘: It vim be remembered that in the fall of 1900 a large number of maladies and robberies were, committed in the counties of Kent and Lambton. Farm houses and hardware stores were broken into and roblhed, and farmers’ barns were entered at night and large quantitia of grain stolen, the favor- ite subject of larceny being clover, seed, which was worth about $7 per. bushel. On September 23rd the house of a wealthy retired farmer lnamed Jacks, in Dover township, Kent county, was entered at 2 am. by masked men armed with reV'olvers, and a demand was made for a large sum of money, which the occupant was known to have r'eceived a few‘ days previously. Only $7.50 \ wasi taken upon this occasion, and the house was again burglarized on Christmas eve by the same gang, who threatened to murder every one in the house if the farmer, did not give up another large sum of money which he had received the day pre- viously. They were not convinced of the truth of the statement that the money had been banked until the farmer produced his receipts. and then they took 36, all the money in the house. and all the jewellery and valuables they could find. In the process the mask slipped off the face‘ of one of the men, who was recogâ€" nized as a man who had hung paper upon several rooms in the house. The burglars made a hearty meal and helped themselves to a couple of suits of Mr. Jacks’ clothes before leaving. and Farmer 'Buchan, who lost 13 bushels of clover seed. ' l - The farmers organized a vigilance committee, and one night followed a suspicious wag‘gion with two men in it to Ridgetbwn. Nightwatchman. Mills of that town recognized the driver of the wagon as Benjamin Riley, who had resided with his wife in the village. Riley put up the hor- ses and waggon in the livery. and gi‘an Bay and Muskoka. Fishing be- gins 0n the 16th of June, and yet on the 5th of July the writer caught bass north of Penetang that were full of roe. Those fish were caught two or three weeks too soon, yet: they were caught nineteen days after the opening of the season. - After their eggs are deposited and hatched black bass nurse .and tend their pro-I geny for a. time, and without thisi cap-e the little ~fellows cannot sur-g vive. All through the Georgian Bay i and Muskoka summer resorts black? bass are, in our opinion, caught too ; soon. An experienced fisherman. a who 1198 made his living with his. nets and lines up there for a dozen‘ years, strongly argues that the ‘black bass season should not open until the 15th of July. He thinks the clow season should be adjusted in different districts to suit the ascer- tained requirements of the fish. There is another aspect to the question. The bass fishing of Musâ€" koka' and the Geargian Bay is one of the chief attractions to tourists. The flow of tourists is in the latter half of July and in August.

They are situated on the heights of land between Lake Ontario and the Georgian Bay, being several. hundred feet above both. They are bordered by pine, spruce, balsam and other evergreens and forest trees and. a more ideal district for camping or holidaying one could scarcely ima- gine. Thus far too they have the advantage of not being over crowded as Muskoka and some. other Cana- dian resorts are rapidly becoming. These lakes extend a distance of 90 miles, the scenery all through being almost matchless. The clear. limpid water of the lakes is supplemented by countless rippling streams and dash- ing waterfalls. large and small. while The Woodstock-Sentinel man who wrote up the recent sasions oi the Ontario Historical Society at Peter- boro and Lindsay. and on board the boat between those towns. had the following to say about the Kawartha. waters : the banks along the shore. the num- erous little projections stretching out into the lakes. and the adjacent is- lands. form a kaleidescopic picture 0! ever-changing sylvan beauty. The name Kawartha is Indian and is un- derstood to mean "bright waters and happy lands.” 1! this be really the meaning the name is most appropri- ate. This chain of lakw numbers eleven, including Balsam, Cameron, Sturgeon, Pigeon, Chemong, Buck- horn, Deer Bay. Love Sick, Stony, Clear and Katchewanooka. Apart from the opportunities for hunting and fishing which these lakes and their surroundings aflord. there are countless sites for camping grounds, summer cottages and holidaying gen- erally. All these lakes are being connected by the Trent Valley water- way, or as it is generally known the Trent Valley Canal. The object of this work is to connect the Georgian Bay with Lake Ontario. taking ad- vantage ot the waits-stretches or chain of lakes intervening.

A line of boats runs daily over these lakes, and objects of interest to the visitor are the several locks through which they run during the trip.. At Sturgeon Point, CoboconE, Bobcaygeon and other points. numer- ous summer-cottaga have been erec- ted and these places have become quite popular summer resorts. It is safe to say that the members of the Historical Society never en- joyed a more delightful outing than over these Kawartha. lakes between Peterboro and Lindsay and the re- collections of it will long remain green in their memaries.

It is not known who will succeed him. MR. BALFOUR SPEAKS In a speech, Mr. Balfour. the new premier said : “I do not flatter my- self that the gap he has left can be filled. But the place he has left must be‘occupied. and it is liocauge the King has desired me to no my best to take» that position n-ut I have asked you to meet me today. I have accepted a great task and a heavy responsibility, certainly fiom no overweening belief in my own capacity, but because I am sure. or at least, have every reason to believe that in attempting to carry on this work, I will have the most import- ant qualification a leader can have. namely, the regard and confidence of those with whom he works." At the time of the death of Queen Victoria. he wished to resign. and only remained in office at the. urgent request of King Edward. but he has gradually lost touch with the aflairs of the nation. and the official an- nouncement that the King has at last accepted his resignation does not cause any surprise.
