Staggered by the problem, the Pack- et wrote to the mayor of 20 more progressive towns asliing for advice under 5 headings regarding the dust}. heat, danger from runaways, mud. etc. of walks outside the rhododen- dron adornment. One of these ma- yors was Mayor Sootheran of this town,,whose reply, published in the last issue of the Packet, is as fol- lows : In reply to your favor of the 17th inst. regarding cement sideh walks, I beg to say that we have adopted the plan here, for the resi- dential part of the town, of building the walks out in a uniform width of fifteen feet from the street lineâ€"that is to say, the inside of the walk to be fifteen feet out from the street ' limit ; add to this five feet for width of. walk, leaving twenty-six feet clear for actual road purposes, which ac- cording to our experience is more than sufficient. Building the walk out is, in our opinion, a great im- provement to the appearance of the street, and, owing to the reduced width of the drive-way, clTects a sav- ing 1n building and maintaining the roadway, and besides it enables the people to remove their fences entirely and to add fifteen feet to their lawn, which they appear to appreciate by taking immediate advantage of it. We have had no complaints in re- sive Where the walks are built out ; in fact, the diil'erence, if any, is so slight that it need not be censidered a factor. Possibly where the trees are small, the walks built out are a trifle hotter-than those built in, but I would not be deterred from build.- i-ng on this account. as the trees: \gard to the dust being more excesâ€" grow and spread. and the advantage- es gained by building out more than compensate for one or two years in- convenience during the summer great advantage for cleaning with the snow plough during the winter. As to which building, inside or out would he more costly, that depends on the construction of the streets. I should think the average cost throughout the tOWn would be about the same. No doubt objections can be pointed out in both-cases. The cost of the walk eight inches deep in each instance would be the same. " the only difference would be in the‘ extra filling. In our contracts we- ‘months, and besides you gain a i provide in advance for the extra filling ‘by fixing the price of stone _' required for that purpose at $3.50 ‘ ‘by this means it is only i or $4 per cord as the case may be ; a matter of calculation of how much extra filling will be required. We are to some extent trou‘bled, but not seriously, with people walking over and along boulevards ; bicycles are worst, and steps should be taken to- prevent them. In no instance in my know- ledge, has there been sufficient walkâ€" ing to form footpaths except.- at street intersections across the cor- ner. In these cases we plant a post and stretch He Advises 0mm That the Plan Has Worked Well in Lindsay MAYOR SOOTHERAN’S OPINION ABOUT MOVING OUT WALKS nuns“. THURSDAY. smmneg 3rd. I903. A Department Has Been Fol-men l Dominion Government to Advance Export Trade A press letter from the Depart- ment of Agriculture says: For a number of years the Depart»- ment of Agriculture has paid parti- cular attention to the development of our export trade in agricultural products. During the South African war the department undertook to fill a number of very large orders from the war ofiice, and as a mult,,hay, flour, oat ,meats, jam, etc., to the value of over $8,000,000 were pur- chased in Canada for the mainten- ance of the army in the field. The twork was carried on under the di- rect supervision of Prof. Robertson, commissioner of agriculture and dairying, but at the beginning of the present year, it was decided to create: a distinct extension of markets di- vision, and to place at the head of it Mr. W. W. Moore, who Was in South Aflica for the deaprtment in 1900, and who has been intimately connected with all the efforts made to increase Canadian trade with, that country. It need scarcely be added that Mr, Moore will alwayslh found ready to aflord enquirers any information in his power regarding ”m markets for Canadian agricultuâ€" the markets n] products. Ill“. -â€"- . ain, with especial reference to mm pulps, particularly rasp rry. The fruit crop in the United Kingdom and on the continent is. very poor, and consequently there is a 'corxsiderdblc demand for foreign, or rather colon- ial fruit pulp. The market is now bare‘ of supplies, and as New Ausé gtrnlian will not" arrive before March next, an excellent opportunity is ofâ€" fered _ for Canadian canners, ifthe'y have the goods .to fill orderS. Un- fortunately, it appearethat the Can- adian raspberry arm was also short this season. The canners have. how- ever. been placed in p03968ion of all the information at Mr. Moore’s disâ€" 90881. and considerable business has allzeady resulted. All the pulp a- vailable will doubtless be diaposed 01' at once at good prices. ' CIDER APPLES In view of .the short fruit crop there is likely to be a good demand in Britain for boiling and cider- making apples. The department has received advices from the Canadian High Commissioner in London to the effect that the firm would take 5000 tons of each of the above sorts. Mr. Hoore is now in communication with the leading fruit shippers to ascer- tain whether they can fill the order. The possibility of shipping cider is also being investigated; A trade 0! this sort would afford facilities for selling to advantage the immense huantities o! cull apples which no go waste in this country. FOOD STUFFS FOR AFRICA lRecent letters received at the de- partment indicate that on account of drough the grain crops in the Trans- Vaal will be short this season, and that in conseqpence there is likely to it“ good demand for Canadian food products in the sister colony. Harvesters on the excursions to t 1 Northwest have caused a good deal W of disaster at points along the line. Last. week one was thrashed by a ‘ policeman who in turn was thrashed i by another harvester. A special deâ€" ‘ spatch to Friday's Globe, but dated August 24th, from White River says: There was a great excitement in this settlement to-day. For the past there have been half a dozen “speâ€" cials," taking harvesters from east- ern Canada to Manitoba and the West, passing through White River every day. 'I‘o-day the Nova Seoâ€" tia contingent Came on the scene. ‘They have run things pretty much as ‘they like sinu- leaving North Day. There they smashed everything they could lan hands on around the de- pot, and as a’ result eight men were locked up. They'hcld high jinks at Cartier and some other smaller sta- tions along the line. At Chapleau they demanded that the railway res- taurant be Opened up. and when it was they ate everything eatahle in sight (without paying for the same). They then broke all the dishes? lamps, mirrors and windows: and‘ even pulled up part of the station ‘ platform. Every male citicen in the place was sworn in as a special cenâ€" stable, but with such a crowd they could do nothing. The railway authorities issued in- structions to their employes further along the road to prepare themselvg by another harvester. spatch to Friday's G August 24th, from W] Giulio vuv . ‘-vâ€" for the coming of this gang, and later sent messages to all restag- rants and station buildings as far as Port Arthur. Although the train which was bringing this gang left North Bay yesterday afternoon, it was late to-day before it reached White River. lnste'ad of coming in- to the railway yardsâ€"as this is a divisional point on the railway â€"-an engine and crew met the harvesters outside the settlement, intending to {pass through without stopping at this platform. This plan proved success- ful although some of the crowd got i 03 and entered the houses and gard- ens in the vicinity. They stripped clothes lines, pulled up potato plant] and amused themselves . shooting. chickens with revolvers. There is a Swedish family named Cremeue liv- ing here. Mrs. Cremene was locked into one of the rooms and about 50 men ransacked the house. The gar- den surrounding the house, which is noted hundreds of miles east and west for its many beautiful flowers, was totally destroyed. A few of the crowd attempted to carry ofi some of: the belongings of men engaged (build- ing cottages for employes of the rail- way, but the workmen attacked them with their tools, a teamster striking one of the crowd with his shovel, rendering him inscnsible. A Dominâ€" ion immigrant omoer came from the west to take the party in charge, but his principal duty will he to mark out the ringleaders and have --H‘ ches Winnipeg. He advised the!
