After its victory at the “'orld’s Fair, that is no surprise, but it is a grateful indication that our former pre-eminence has been main- tained. In the swift advance of method and quality since then, we have not been out-distanced. . For much of the honor and advantage derived from this success we are indebted to the tireless teaching of Prof. Robertson and the splendid staff of practical men who assist him. Upon patrons and makers these men have pressed with emphasis and repetition the theory and method, scientific and practical, by which cheese ex- cellence can be attained. Sharing in this credit is every man who has stood up to. second their efforts and every newspaper that has informed and exhorted the people on this great industry. To this task, and to the best of our ability, we have un- falteringly devoted ourselves. Time nor expense has been spared to :rccomplish our aim. Nor. indeed, have we con- sidered our popularity with our readers, nor let it deter us from declaring the best attainable information on this sub- ject. Better curing rooms, greater cleanliness, keeping whey out of milk cansâ€"these things have been insisted upon, but not always received with good grace by those in whose interests they were advocated. But we are about a greater task than pleasing our readers. A great industry is at stake and Canada’s reputation before the world. There are right ways to make cheese; they are the only ways in which good cheese can be made. It is only by going in them that Ontario’s magnificent exhibi- tion cheese has been made. and it is only by going in them that Victoria county shall be able to some day share in the profit and praise of that product. To all‘ who toil in behalf of Canadian dairying, the success of Ontario cheese at the big fair is some compensation, and an encourage- ment to persevere in their good work. IN” The township and county councus have [18“.]. Lucu' conference and considered the government’s ofier to aid in making good roads, and the terms upon which that aid can be secured. The net result is not easy to state. For those who had given special notice to the name under which the meeting was called, its character was a trifle disappointing. It was announced as a conference; and the idea implied was that the representatives should examine the conditions of the bill with the assistance of Commissioner Campbell, and by discussion endeavor to arrive at the best method of taking advantage of what it offered. That is scarcely what occured. The representa- tives of the townships came in good numbers ; Mr.‘ Camp- bell very lucidly explained the bill; then the delegates were immediately asked to formally say whether or not they were in favor of a county scheme. The idea that one scheme had already been selected by somebody and that they were confronted by it, was perhaps too prominent in“ the minds of the township delegates. At least that is what one would infer from the hostile tone in which some of them declared their opposition. Probably the method pursued was the only one possible within the time; but the township men must not think, on that account, that by rejecting a proposal of the county council they have settled this matter, If they refuse to be confronted by that proposal they are still face to facewith a good deal tougher oneâ€"thebill itself. That has to be faced, for it involves an item of $30,000 to this county, and helping to gain or lose such a sum will be quite a factor in any man’s chances at election time. ‘ I L It appears to us that the bill’s worst enemy is the bill itself. It represents a good purpose badly executed. To aid in the construction of good roads is an excellent under- taking, but to attempt it with a. scheme that antagonizes the towns and villages, and makes area. the basis of mileage for townships, is to defeat a good intent with a bad method. The case for the town and_villa.ges, however, is really not so bad as it appeared at the conference. When com mending the scheme to the townships, Mr. Campbell said man-Warder to Jan. 1903 for $3, new subscribers or renewals. Send in your money and get. balance of this year free. -â€"-The gas people have made a. good start with laying their mains. A plow goes along a couple of times; men follow with shovels and the 18- inch trench is ready for the pipe. Making a mile of it, is an easy mat- ter. On Tuesday 3300 feet was dug. â€"On Saturday night two articles of clothing were missed from the Benson house. They were an over~ coat belonging to Mr. J. H. Hunter, at traveller. and a collarette owned by Miss Gilchrist of Woodville. When these losses were reported to Chief Nevison he went to the station and arrested Jas. Fairbanks, a. member of the Pan-American troupe that. gave exhibitions under canvas on the market square. In his grip the goods were found. He claimed that he had been told to bring the col- larette by another member of ' the troupe. who claimed that it belong- ed to a lady friend of his. In the police court on Monday morning the prisoner elected to be tried by jury amt was committed on the evidence of Mr. Hunter and Chief Nevison. Tue WATCHMAN-WARDER pendent Conservative Newspaper.

That is evidently a mistake, although itwas not noticed by the county council in its subsequent discussions. The 33 per cent. paid by govern- ment is 33 per cent. of the whole sum to be spent. but the 18 per cent. raised by the town is 18 per cent. of the levy made on the county. So that it will not do to add them together and say that 51 per cent. is paid by the govern- ment, and the town and villages. As a matter of fact the town and villages pay about 12 per cent. of the total amount. That added to the government’s 33 makes 45 per cent. paid by them, and hence 55 per cent. remains f0r the townships to pay. That makes the percentage look‘ better for the town and villages, but the sums set opposite them are still the same. That they should pay more than $10,000 to build roads that Will be Wholly outside of them is an apparent injustice, and one that even the townships will hesitate to endorse. It is not at all certain that it would not pay the town and villages to give that sum, but they cannot do so without feeling that it is unfair. ,A L__ The clause of the bill which provides that the county shall assume an extent of road in each township according to its area, hopelessly kills the county scheme in Victoria. Counties with townships in which area and wealth are so vastly dispropriate, could not have been considered by the framers of the bill. Area seems a particularly unfortun- ate basis. Likely miles of leading road in each municipal- ity would be a good deal better one ; and let towns.and villages be included on some equitable terms. But even that, or any other basis, would be sure to prove unworkable somewhere. It was a mistake to say anything about the miles to be assumed in each township. 'â€" ,“AIA:_ -_,J .u.-.’ vâ€"â€"â€"â€"C It needlessly encumbered the bill. ‘ The township and county councillors in any county, could fix on the roads to be constructed and assumed by the county. In doing it they would consider the needs and claims of all parts, and, no doubt, make an arrangement that would be agreeable to all and in the best interests of the county. At any rate l that is practically what must be done in this county if any . general scheme is adopted. In fact that is exactly what l the county council have pI-Oposed. By adding eight miles ' to Mariposa’s share and six miles to that of Ops, they have ! actually forsaken the principle of the bill for the method. we now advocate. This proposition seems to be an emin- ‘ ently fair one as between the townships, and one that, if legal, can very well be adopted by them. THE BRITISH mobile columns carry pianos. Now we know why the Boers always run. They cannot stand the music. A .DEPUTATION is coming to teach housekeeping. Their work awaits them. There is no teaching worse needed. Many housekeepers know nearly everything else but housekeeping, and many young women will never have houses to keep because men are afraid to risk their cookery. In these days of live wires and microbes there are enough menaces to a man’s existence without adding the impossible biscuit, unleavened bread and rubberoid beefsteak. Men know better than increase the incentives to strong drink and they stay single. How to cook a surviveable meal, how to make a bed that does not tend to profanity, how to wash dishes to which the odor of a doubtful dishcloth does not clingâ€"if they teach those things, in the name of all the suffering married men‘, and all the lonely single onw, bring on the deputation. ALD. O REILLY wants gates put at the railway cross ngs. It 1s true that several people have narrowly escaped sudden death at these points, but it must not be over- looked that the crossings have developed a dauntless spirit and contempt of danger in the people and horses of the county. Having a train rush out in front of you when your rig is about 10 feet from the track may not tend to. comfortable sensations along the spinal column, her help, to keep the hair down, neither will it soothe your [quadru- ped’s feelings, but it is a variation upon the dull monotony of rural existence and is productive of several things be' sides profanity. A wild dash across in front of the loco- motive and a half-foot escape from losing the hind wheels iof your buggy have all the elements of exhilirating ex- citement and afford a fine opportunity for your horse to develop and exhibit speed. Failure to get over in time, and being landed in the ditch with your whole outfit is only a variation of the same thing and requires only getting usedto. It does not do to be too quick about putting up gates and depriving farmers and others of these heroic diversions. A few will likely be killed, but what of that if the many are benefitted. And yet there may be some force in Ald. O’Reilly’s suggestion.
